ew of the Late William c. Whitney,

HAS UNEARTHED FRAUDS.
SAYS FRISCO LAWYER

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.-Public in
terest in the cases of the Marble
creek settlers on public lands is like
" to be aroused anew. according to
the statements of II. w. Rich, an at
torney from San Francisco. who has
been retained by the settlers TO con-
tinue their fight for title to their
lands.
Rich has been gathering evidence
in these cases, and claims to have IN
his possession affidavits of a startling
character which is presented to a
federal investigation, will, he claims,
eclipse in interest even the famous
land fraud cases of oregon,
There are numerous fraudulent
acts which have been committed In
this district for the purpose of OBJ
tanning lands for lumber companies,
said Rich. "I can prove that a paid
agent of the timber interests induced
men to swear that the claims OF cer-
tain settlers were unimproved, where
as he had in his possession at the time
photographs of the improvements
which were in full requirement of the
law
Rich claims that the matter will be
thoroughly threshed out, and that the
general government will be called up
on TO investigate. and that indictments
of parties who have aided in this al
legged attempt to defraud these set
tiers of the lands will likely result.

Wants Depot Nearer Town.

washougal. Wash--A petition was
circulated here last week praying the
s. p. & s. Railway company to move
its depot from its present site which
is three-quarters. of mile from town
to point near the center of town. 1t
received the signatures of 80 per cent
OF the business men and taxpayers of
the. town, and will be taken to the
headquarters of the railway company
at Portland by committee appoint
ed for that purpose.
1t is n conservative estimate that
the business transacted by the rail-
road company would be increased at
least 80 per cent If the depot was
placed in a more accessible location.
Its location has retarded the growth
of the town and as it is the policy of
the North Bank to help upbuild the
towns on its line. it is thought the
petition will be granted. r

Law Blocks North Coast.

Kennewick. Wash.-JThe tables
were turned Wednesday in the fight
which the North Coast is waging to
build its tracks along Front street in
this city when Superior Judge o. R.
Holcomb supplemented his temporary
restraining order by permanent in
junction As soon as the news of the
judges decision reached here the
North Coast assembled 100 men along
Front street to prevent property own
ers from tearing up the track already
built.
The force was kept on guard until
late hour that night, but no at
tempt was made by property owners
to molest the track. The North Coast
will now begin condemnation proceed
ings, and to strengthen its case it will
ask residents to sign a petition set
ting forth that the railroad down
front street will be of great benefit
to the city in general. Meanwhile all
construction work in the city has been
temporarily suspended.

In Danger of Great Famine.

According to a report brought to
Bisbee last evening from central Mexi-
co by DR.. c. n. Hunt, formerly of this
city, the poor people OF that part of the
republic are facing famine and un-
less they are given assistance by the
government will suffer from hunger
very soon.
Or. Hunt stated that because of the
lack of rain in central Mexico the
corn, wheat and bean crops have been
a complete failure and the people have
been unable to harvest anything that
will tide them over until another
planting season. Already there is a
scarcity of food and within a short
time there will be nothing for these
people to eat and they will be face to
face with starvation unless prompt aid
is given by the state or national gov
ernment. DR.. Hunt said that the con-
dition of these poor people is very pitt
able.
DR.. Hunt has been company physi-
clan for the Pearson syndicate at Ma
dera for two years and has resigned to
come back to the United States to re-
side. He stated that the Pearson road
is we'll under way and is being built
towards MADEIRA from two directions,
from Casa Grande and from Pearson.
All the grade work will be completed
within six months, but it will require
two years in which to complete the
tunnels.
The big lumber mill at MADEIRA pro-
ducing 3O0,OO0 feet of lumber each day
and is the largest saw mill in the
world. This mill is located in the tim
Der country of the Sierra Madres
where there are millions of feet of
lumber now owned by the Pearson
syndicate in the great pine forests.
As to the cattle industry of that part
of Mexico, DR.. Hunt stated that be-
cause of the lack of rain the losses
have been great except on those
ranches in the mountain country
where there was a more bountiful
rainfall The W. r. Hearst ranch
was in the rain belt and Hearst is
shipping out 5000 head of very fine
cattle to this side of the line.-Bisbee
Review.

California line, which were under op-
tion for purchase by the late E. b.
Hartman, just before the latter's
death.
James Moore, president of the steel
corporation, purchased the property
direct from the owners, James W.
Smith and Alfred Merritt of Duluth,
the price being 2OO,OOOS.
This is said to be one of the best de-
posits of high grade iron ore on the
Pacific coast. The property was
bought for future use, as the Irondale
plant is now using Chinese pig iron
under a fifteen-year contract. Presi-
dent Moore says:
"When we get ready to bring Ne
vada ore here we will ship il by rail
to some point on San Francisco bay
and thence to Irondale at low cost.
The area of the mines is 242 acres.
The ore in sight amounts to 100000
tons, aud every ton is worth at least
Is to our corporation"
The above iron mines are located a
few miles north of Virginia near the
old Lizard mine and what is known as
the Badger district, and we're first
purchased about ten years ago by the
Mesaba Iron Company for 5,OOOs, the
original owners being Frank Fielding,
former assayer at the Consolidated
Virginia, and Nicholas Hanson of this
city. The property includes IL claims,
and more than 1OO.OOOS has been ex-
pended in development work, sinking
shafts and otherwise exploring the
ground.
For the greater part of the present
season a force of forty men has been
employed, and work was suspended
only a few weeks ago.
The announcement of this sale will
be received with marked interest in
this section, for it undoubtedly means
the starting of big new mining ven-
ture sooner or later, which is bound
to be factor in the prosperity of this
section of the state. II is probable
that a railroad will be built to connect
with the Southern Pacific cutoff at
Dayton.-San Francisco Chronicle.

One of the old residents of Cucurpe
told McReynolds that in the Indian
wars of the early SOS a treaty was
made between Cucurpe and the
Apaches in which the people of the
town promised to give the Indians
-four and other supplies in return for
immunity from Indian raids. The
Indians kept their part of the treaty
and the little town was never molested.
They came to the place and were
given provisions. On several occasions
the Apaches brought very rich silver
ore to Cucurpe and it was believed at
the time that they found it in the old
Santa Teresa, the location of which
the Indians would not reveal. Since
the discovery of the mine there is no
doubt but it was the place where the
hostiles found the ore they traded in
Cucurpe.
The mine is on a concession that was
granted an Italian by the Mexican
government. Curranco and Mercy
nolds have secured an option from him
and will thoroughly prospect the old
workings and if the ore body is found
to be what tradition says it should be
they will purchase the Italians con-
cession.-Bisbee Review.

Only few days work is required to
put the Mammoth mill in shape for a
run, but it will not be started until it
is known whether stoping has been
done underneath it. If stopping has
been done under the mill, it would be
disastrous to start up the machinery,
for all the jar would cause the ground
to cave.
The force has been taking out ore
about ten days and already there is
enough on the dump for long and
profitable run. According to James
Bark, the Mammoth mill once ran 20
hours on 1SOOs ore, producing about
72,0OOS. Those who have seen the
property recently say that many more
such runs are possible in the future.
The new shaft that is being sunk
is said to be the best in the territory.
1t is vertical and has three compart-
ments.

Los Angeles Man Boys Arizona Placer
Mine.

A forty-acre claim adjoining the
New La Paz property in the La Paz
mining district of Yuma county, Ari-
zona, was sold yesterday by o. L.
Grimsley to R. ]. McAdory of Los An
geles. The consideration was 8OOOS.
Mr.. McAdory, realizing that the La
Paz country gives promise of being
one of the great placer fields of the
world. has decided to enter there as
an active operator, and will begin de-
velopments within a short time.
The Santa Fe has men in the field
surveying a railroad from Parker
through the La Paz country, and will
eventually tap the Southern Pacific at
Yuma, thus giving the country two
outlets and greatly facilitating mining
in this otherwise isolated region.
A new townsite has been staked on
the New La Paz property and given
the name of Arizona City. This town
will soon, it is said, become the center
of the La Paz district, displacing both
Ehrenburg and the old town of La
Paz. The new town will be in a bet
ter position for commanding the bust
ness and more central to the many
properties of the district. The district
has also several rich quartz properties,
and together with the placer will
probably make a splendid showing this
fall and winter. Many Los Angeles
people are interested in the district,
and all are sure much wealth will be
taken out the coming mining season.

Mammoth Wine is UndOubtedIy Rich.

According to late advices from the
Mammoth mine at Goldfield, northeast
of Mesa, all doubt that this old pro-
ducer is still fabulously rich, is now
past. A new ledge, four feet wide and
running high in gold, has been acci-
dentally uncovered, while paying ore
is being taken from two slopes in the
old workings. One of these is the ia
nous Mormon stope, from which half
a million dollars worth of gold was
taken in the early days of Arizona,
and which is believed to contain as
much more of the yellow metal.
The story of the finding of the new
ledge reads like romantic fiction, so
wild and improbable does it sound.
1t was uncovered by water lifted from
the new shaft and poured out upon the
barren hillside.
When the shaft was started it was
in the country rock and it was not be-
lieved that any ore was near, at least
not on the surface. But the shaft is
now running into ore at a depth of 200
feet and the marvelously rich ledge is
only 40 feet away.
Samples taken from the ledge ap-
parently run from a few dollars to
the ton up into thousands of dollars.
200 samples, both from this shaft and
from the new shaft that is beyond.
There is an old story to the effect that
rich gold ore in almost unlimited
quantities is exposed in this stope.
Ore running from l2s to 3Os is being
taken from another stope in differ
ent part of the workings.

and upon their return home stated to
the Benson Press that the Phelps
Dodge company recently purchased
800 acres of coal land in that district.
The land referred to must be the
tract which theDevelopment Company
of America took over when it secured

mas. The latter company had a cop
per smelter in operation at the mines,
9 miles east of the mouth of the San
Pedro river, on the north bank of the
Gila, at Christmas. For years a big
freight team was kept on the road
hauling coal from an incline shaft
about eight miles from Christmas, on
the south side of the Gila river.

Treasure Xault Looks Good.

Judge Peter Painter and Russell A.
Leonard, of Kelvin, were here Mon
day, and left on horseback, during the
evening, for the Treasure Vault gold
group. situated about Is miles north
west of Florence and 4 miles south of
the Queen Creek railroad station. This
property is owned by these gentlemen
and other citizens of Kelvin and Ray
and is now undergoing development
under their management. There are
three parallel veins on the property,
four feet. They have sunk a large
number of prospect shafts along the
veins, ranging IN depth from 80 to 20
feet, thus testing the veins for over
1000 feet in length. From these pros
pect shafts they shipped a carload of
ore, of average grade, and it gave a
return of 2O.90s gold per ton of ore at
the smelter. This shows the property
to be exceedingly high grade as the
ore is free milling and the values can
be cheaply extracted by the amalga-
nation process. The stock of the com
pany is in demand but the manage
ment will not dispose of more than the
amount necessary to meet the expense
of mine equipment and development
work. Pockets of ore assaying hun
dreds of dollars in gold are encoun-
tered in the veins, and the manage
ment have had some experience with
high-graders, but in estimating the
average values of the ore as it comes
from the shafts, the rich pockets are
eliminated for the sake of conserva-
tiveness and safety. This is a wise
policy and if adhered to will insure
the success of the enterprise. The
veins are vertical, therefore can be
opened and worked cheaper than can
inclined veins.-Florence Blade Trib-
