THE HERCULES COPPER
 COMPANY IS ACTIVE

W. P. Durham, general manager of the Hercules Copper company, of Ray, left for Los Angeles, Friday, where he will spend two weeks with his family, and then go to Mexico to look after his large mining in terests in that republic, says the Florence Tribune. Before leaving Ray he directed Superintendent Thomas to begin the work of sinking a three compartment shaft on the Hercules ground. This vertical shaft will be sunk 1000 feet, as the bore holes on the ground, one HOO and one 1000 feet deep, penetrated ore bodies at the depths named. These bore holes went through three dis tinct ore blankets and the average grade of these ore bodies is 6 per cent. But there are also strata of ore in them averaging as high as 20 per cent, and levels from the three compartment shaft can be extended along these high grade strata ana enough high grade ore be extracted to pay a profit over and above the cost of development work, a fact that warrants the sinking of the three compartment shaft. The Her eules can now be properly classed as a high grade property, and has a brilliant future before it.

The building occupied as a boarding house, is also owned by the smelting company. It was only a half-hour after the fire started that the greater portion of the busi- ness section was a mass of ruins.
 All of the business buildings on the north side. of the street escaped.
 Those on the south side, that were destroyed were frame structures and on the majority of them the in suranee companies would not carry risk.
 The stock of the Franeis-Miller store, valued at over $10,O00, was in sured for s3,5OO, and the fixtures at $2OO. The building is owned by the Head Lumber company of Pres cott, and a section of it was occu- pied by the Shumate company. The latter's loss is s1,6OO, covered by

 It could not be learned tonight whether insurance was carried on the Head or boarding house build ings, although it is believed they were partially protected. There were several shacks and tent houses in the rear of the main business build ings, which were also destroyed.
 The cause of the fire is unknown. It started in the rear of the base ment of the Franeis-Miller building, where old boxes are stored. It had only been discovered a few minutes when the floor of the pool room in Shumate's went down with a crash, carrying with it the billiard table.
 Whether it originated on the Shumate or the Francis,Miller side of the building is not known.

 Adjoining on the east was the butcher shop of George & Kellogg, and this, with the residence of butcher Ed. Sparks, in the rear, were the next to suecumb. Then the Guidon barber shop, formerly con ducted by Ike Reigle, quickly melt ed, together with the Ricketts board ing house, which was owned by the Arizona Smelling company. There is an open space between the boarding house and the hospital and this proved an advantage to the fire fighters. While the hospital caught on fire, the flames were extinguish- ed by means of wet blankets and water, and the same measures saved the Michaels residence.

BADGER FIGHTING SOON ID BE
 REVIVED
From Saturdays Daily)

That the popular, but cruel, sport of badger fighting is soon to be re- vived in this city, was learned yes terday from an authoritative source. Ever since the Bloody Basin badger defeated all the fighting canines and fought a draw with George Ruffner's fierce foxhound, there appears to have been a lull in the questionable pas time, but in response to clamor for its renewal among the linen about town" a full grown badger was brought to the city, recently, by N. J. Ritter of Jerome Junction, wno sold it to Birch Bros. The animal is from the Black Hills district, and has all the ear and other marks of a fghtig one. It is now on exhibi- tiOn in Birch Bros's Cafe, and is being fed on the choicest badger diet to get it in condition for the ring.
 It is also reported that a tele- gram has been sent to George Ruff ner, now in Los Angeles, advising him of its purchase, and that he has replied that he is now searching the kennels of Southern California for the 6ercest bulldog that can be se- cured, which it is intended to pit against the new beauty. MT. Ruffner is expected home soon with possibly a brace of canines of British ances- try, on which it is presumed much money will be wagered in coming contests.
 In capturing the badger, MT. Ritter says that it taxed the ingenuity of himself and several of his shepherd CTS. It was entieed into a barrel af- ter long chase, and at the close of a vicious struggle with two of his shepherd dogs. He vouches for its courage and tenaeity and says that It has no yellow streak

The Johnson7Shea company, which is constructing the Territorial road out of this city, have en route from the coast a steam roller, which they will utilize on the grade. It is the first device of it's kind to be introduced in this section, and is said to perform the work it is de signed for in a practical and more satisfactory manner than by the old roller drawn by horses, being of much heavier construction and regulated with greater depressing qualities. The advent of this appli- ance has no political sifnificanee whatever.

DRY FARMER HAS
 LARGE CORN CROP
(From Thursdays Daily)

James Davis of Ferguson Valley is an enthusiast on dry farming, and in his first efforts to apply that prin- eiple to the lands he owns, says that his corn crop for the year will reach 5000 bushels from a tract of not over 100 acres. He has not used a drop of water except the rain that has fallen, and is very much elated at the result. He experiment. ed with land in ssimilar method in the northern country, and on the application of the principle in the above valley, has again demon strated the wisdom of the new meth od He will build a large concrete storage dam this fall to insure a crop from a larger domain he pro- poses to cultivate, with a general variety of crops. His place is To- cated above the E. W. Stephens ranch, and an abundant supply of water is available for all the land in that section by water storage.

MEXICAN KILLER IS
 HELD WITHOUT BAIL
From Fridays Daily ]

Eduardo Perez was given his pre- hminary examination at Congress be- fore Judge Cree on Wednesday even ing, and was bound over to the grand
 jury without bail for the murder of Feliciano Chacon, at Congress June ton, on Sunday evening. The pris- oner was brought to Prescott yester-
 day afternoon and lodged in the county jail. .,
 In the examination held additional light was thrown on the tragedy, and the deed was traceable to a woman as the cause. Perez had been living, according to the evidence in- troduced, with a certain Mexican woman of Congress for over threv years, and at various times Chacon had been seen on the premises. Per sisting in his attentions, Perez took the matter in hand, and the climax came last Sunday evening, when he went to the bridge camp of the s. F., P. & F., at Congress Junction, and in a pleasant manner lured his victim to a point convenient, and then blew the top of his head off with a A ealiber Colts revolver. The two men left the Junction to- getner, and when near the bridge, up the track, the report of two shots was heard.
 A shot time afterward an investi- gation was made to learn of the whereabouts of Chacon, when his body was found at that point. He had one bullet hole in the back of th ehead, and his death was instan- taneous. The bullet did not pass through, but lodged in his neck, close to the skin, and was seen lodged in that position. On his person were found several letters from the Perez woman, all eouched in the most af- fectionate terms and conveying also information on various matters ex- isting between them.
 In the examination Perez did not take the stand, but offered several witnesses who testified that the man killed was a frequent visitor to Perez's home when the latter was away. Evidence was also introduced showing that after the woman learn ed that Cnaeon had been killed by Perez she immediately went to her trunk and took therefrom several letters, which were burned in the stove. These letters were from the man killed, it was proven afterward.
 Preceding the deed, a few weeks ago, evidence was also introduced showing that Chacon had informed Perez that he would win the woman from him, or else kill Perez. Not withstanding all of these threats, public opinion in Congress is decid- edly against Perez, and the man. ner in which the deed was committed gives the crime consideration as be- ing a cold blooded one.

CHANGE IN BRIDGE
 SITE ANNOUNCED
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

It was learned yesterday from a semi-official source that the Territor- ial highway between here and Flag staff will span the Verde river at Camp Verde instead of Aultman, as first announced. It is reliably re- ported that a suitable site has been found at Camp Verde and that a Emember of the staff of Territorial Engineer Girand is there now making preliminary soundings. It is also known that bed rock has been found in the river at a very shallow depth at the point selected and those in favor of building the bridge there assert that the structure can be built at that point at the same if not less expense than at Aultman. The construction of the bridge at Camp Verde will shorten the dis tance between here and Flagstaff by several miles.
 When the announcement was first read in the Journal-Ainer that the Board of Control had decided to build the bridge at Aultman, the residents of Camp Verde desirous of having the bridge built there, cir culated a petition which was later presented to the Board, asking that the decision to build the bridge at Aultman be reeonsidered and pointing out an available site at Camp Verde. This petition was circulated in Co., eonino county, and is said to have been signed by property owners and taxpayers representing a total as- sessment roll of over s3,OO0,OOO.
 With few, if any exceptions, the petition was signed by the stoekmen of Coeonino county, many of whose flocks are driven annually from the northern ranges into this and Mari eopa counties and who transact con siderable business at Camp Verde.
 The Camp Verde site is immediate ly above the mouth of Beaver Creek. on the northwest corner of what is known as the "Old Wales Arnold Ranch" It was also pointed out in the petition that the building of the bridge at this place would eliminate any danger of people being water bound On either side of the river during flood times, as the road will cross the stream immediately above the mouth of Beaver and below the mouth of Oak Creek, between which tributaries the Territorial highway will be built to Flagstaff. With the building of the bridge at Camp Verde the Territorial highway from Dewey to Camp Verde will go over the Copper Canyon route, the present county road, which may be established permanently as part of the highway by the Board of Control.
