RICH LANDS FOR
 FUTURE SETTLERS
CFrom Wednesdays Dany)

NFTOm NeOucSuuS S DdliyJ
 Through the courtesy of J. M. w Moore, formerly the register of the |. S. Land Office, the Journal Miner is permitted to give additional in formation in regard to the throwing open for entry that land withdrawn from entry in 1901, which will be in valuable to those seeking to locate.
 The lands withdrawn cover an immense acreage and run from a point about three miles to the nortG of Prescott to within about two miles of Jerome Junction, covering a dis tance of nine miles that will be open when the time is announced later. Along this strip an area about twentv-One miles across and running east and west, in included. This takes in all of Lonesome Valley and skirts to the Black Hills on the east. From that line it extends down the Agua Fria to the Maricopa county line, distant in an air line about ffty-four miles.
 Included in the land to be thrown open is that portion heretofore with drawn in the Verde Valley, running from Cottonwood southeast alonog the Verde river to a point about eight miles south of Camp Verde, an ir- regular strip fifteen miles wide at places and twenty-four miles long.
 More particularly described, this land to be thrown open for settle ment lies between the Prescott and the COcOnino forest reserves. The de- sirabihty of the land is unquestioned for either farming or ranging pur- poses. Granite Creek cuts through the land to the north of this city, while the Verde, on the extreme northeast, and the Agua Fria on. the east and south ends, courses through. All of the land is low lying and flat, and for either the home seeker or the stock raiser is among the most inviting public land that is open for either pursuit.
 This valuable strip will be thrown open for entry on August 9th next, and attending this movement there will be many applications registered

S.E.P.&.P TRAINS
 COME TOGETHER
From Tuesdays Dany)


 Through the failure of the air brakes to work on freight No. 56 of the s. F., P. & P, Sunday afternoon, a headon collision took place with the Del Rio water train at point near Rock Butte, the water train travel ing north and the freight coming south.
 The impact was not serious, and fortunately no human lives were lost, neither were any employees injured. The responsibility of the accident was due, it is said, to mechanical imperfection, and no blame whatever attaches to any emplOye. The hand brakes were used effectively, and the momentum of the long train was brought under control sufficiently to prevent what otherwise would have been a serious loss of life and prop erty. Passengers leaving this city were delayed 8 short time only. Both engines were but slightly damaged, the pilots on each being ripped off, with slight damage to engine No. ,, in iron frame work.
 Also, on the same afternoon, the freight train on the southern divis- ion, near Date Creek, went wrong through a broken journal, one car of stone being wrecked. The damage was soon repaired and no delay to traffic resulted.

GOOD SHOWING MADE IN
 MINE
Ma1apai is Proving Most Decided
 Success
Editor Journal Miner: Prescott, Arizona.

Editor Journal Miner:
 Prescott, Arizona.
 The Malapai Mining company whose mines are two miles south of Kirkland, continues sinking with three shifts of miners. Work has progressed without let up since June 1909. Eight hundred and fifty feet of work has been done in the main shaft, besides much other rock work, The property is equipped with a gaso- line hoist, and also has air compressor Cameron sinking pump and Sullivan air drills, these. latter being driven by a 20 horse power engine. All work has been done thoroughly. The manager. A. S.. Hickey of Los An geles, well known throughout Arizona las been reelected to look after com pany affairs for another year. His policy is and has been to buy dyna. mite instead ef brown stone fronts and it is the belief here that he is going to add another famous pro. dueer to Yavapai county's already long list.

Its foot is granite and the hanging wall is gran ite pOrpohyry The trend is north and south, and the dip 50 degrees to the west, and has been continuous from the surface to the present bottom. 4OC feet.

The sulphide zone Is expected at. any round of shots. As soon as it is reached and the char acter of the deep ores established the company will put in their mill, an order for which is already placed with Fairbanks, Morse & Co of Los Angeles, and its cost is now in bank.
 The company is not footing many horns. but its. dynamite blasts are continuous. This kind of music sounds mucn nicer to men who look upon mining as a ;, serious business, than the empty tin horn sounds.

ENGINEER TO LOOK ....
 AFTER ROAD WORK
(From Wednesdays Daily. )

(FrOm Wednesdays Daily.)
 Hereafter it is the purpose of Ter ritorial Engineer Girand to maintain one of his engineer corps in the field at Prescott to supervise the work of road building, and R. c. Sparks will fill that capacity, arriving yes terday from the southern Arizona field. MT. Sparks will direct future work on this laudable project from this point, and in a few days will make an examination of the Verde river site for the big bridge c cross that stream. Soundings will be made, but at what particular place on the stream is not given out. This bridge will undoubtedly be built this year, and after the matter is officially considered by the Board of Control will the site be chosen.
 Mr.. Girand arrived Sunday from the south, where considerable work is going on, and after considering matters for a day at this end, left last night for Florence and Roose- welt. where his time will be dili- gently taken up at those points on the big project.
 From Roosevelt to Globe, over eight miles of the road has been completed, and the bridge work over the Gila is progressing rapidly.
 From Prescott south the grade is going at a good rate and last Sat urday night over two miles had been finished by R. T. Shea of the John son-Shea contracting firm. It is pro- nounced a fine piece of road work.
 From every center of the country, in mining and agriculture, the build ing of this highway is receiving the open endorsement of everyone. From an apathetic regard. the movement has steadily reached the wholesome approval of the public, until every section of the country is clamoring for its advent. The work accom- plished to the present time by MT. Grand is highly endorsed, and when completed along the lines laid out, the benefit to all sections will be in- ealeulable. The motto of good roads is the slogan of all interests, and the more that are built all the more appreeiative are the results. In one district of this county, that of the Silver Mountain, the main argument heard from the miners against the lack of investment is the isolation prevailing there. The north and south road as surveyed will cut through the heart of this rich mining divis- ion, and with the coming of the highway, those identified will be materially assisted, and also the in vestor be induced to come to it. This district is. through this lack of pub lie interest, in a deplorable condition, and that too in the face of indisput- able faOt that it has the richest gold mines of any section of the Terri tory.
 With the completion of the first thirteen miles to the south of Pres cott, a movement is said to be on foot to open a first class road station in the vicinity of Mount Union, for the entertaining of the public.

The sinking of the main working shaft is being done under contract, and with the good headway the ore body continues to be more favorable in the sulphides than formerly prevailed. He is enthusiastic over the outcome of the development at all points being operated.

her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con-
