D. B. Genung, general manager of the Mildred Gold Mining con- pany, who arrived yesterday, states that the new 5000 foot pipe line has been completed and water is avail able for running the ten stamp mill and supplying the camp for domestic purposes, Antelope Creek being the source. Grading for a new hoisting plant is under way and after it is installed active mine work will be started. It is expected that the new hoist will be running inside of three weeks. The St. Elmo claim of the group is to be the main working point.
 MT. Genung says that the exten- sive system of exploiting planned is due to the good returns received a short time ago, when a fifty ton batch of ore was run through the new mill.
 In reviewing mine work at other points adjacent to the Mildred camp MT. Genung says that there is a re- vival in gold mining. On the old Leviathan, a new hoisting plant mas been installed by D. J. Sayre, owner of the property, and sinking is un- der way. A car load of other ma ehinery is on the ground, and there is every indication that the old mine will give an excellent account of it. self with development. The reviving of this proposition is due to the re- suits of limited exploitation of the past few months.
 At the Rineon camp, Knox & An derson have practically completed the repairs of the old workings, and ore has commenced. Mill runs will begin in a short time, the ma

CALIFORNIA MAGAZINE
 TO BOOST PRESCOTT

A letter from the West Coast Mag azine of Los Angeles, gives assur- ance that the magazine will do all it can to assist the Prescott Cham Der of Commerce in carrying on its publicity campaign and boosting Prescott. This magazine was the first corporation from outside of Arizona to become a member of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce. Photographs have been furnished to this magazine by the Chamber of Commerce and the people may ex- pect to see them reproduced in the West Coast Magazine. It is grati- flying to know that Prescott is to have the assistance of such maga- zine.
 Prof. F. N. Guild of the University of Arizona has presented the Cham Der of Commerce with a copy of his work. entitled "The Mineralogy of Arizona" This work is a compact volume, well written, and shows the work of a master scholar in mineral ogy all the way through. The people of Arizona are to be congratulated in having a man of the ability of Prof. Guild in its University.
 Arizona should have a School of Mines and Mining, and the same should be located at Prescott. It has already been intimated that the Chamber of Commerce will make an attempt at the next session of the Legislature in Arizona to have such a school established here. No better place can be found in the Territory for such an institution. All condi- tions are ideal for an educational in stitution and especially one devoted to mining. It is hoped that this in timation may be ripened into a reality.
 Prof. Cyrus F. Tollman of the Uni versity of Arizona, will lecture in Prescott, one night next week, on mining. This lecture will be held un' der the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. The lecture will be free and all are invited. Announcement will be made tomorrow.

WYNKOOP HELD BY Il PASO
 POLICE

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 16.-In re- sponse to a telegram from Fl Paso, stating that the police of that city held H. H. Wynkoop, formerly a printer here, Sheriff John Nelson left for the Texas city to bring Wynkoop back. The exact nature of the charge against him is not known, as no such indictment was announced by the grand jury yesterday. Sheriff Nelson showed the telegram to a number of persons before taking the train.
 Wynkoop's involvement in the courts is supposed to be based on his manipulations of the funds of the Eagles lodge in this city, during his service as secretary. It has been generally known for some time that he left this city about 5000 behind in his accounts with the lodge, as we'll as considerably short with a number of individuals. He attempt ed to compromise with the lodge by the payment of $2OO, which is said to have been put up by a woman who has since removed to some other city. However, so many other dis crepancies are alleged to have de- veloped that the lodge made a de- mand on Wynkoop's bonding com pany, and the latter probably took action.
 There have been reports out that there was forgery charge of some sort made against WynkoOp after his departure, but the details of this ae- cusation are not public.

chinery undergoing thorough repair after several years of idleness. New ore bodies being developed are ere ating much interest and the fact that both lessees are experienced mining men, gives the project favorable con slderation. As soon as new ground is opened the mine force will be in- creased and the plant started.
 John s. Reilly, E. L. Bartholomew and James Rees, on the Old York mine, continue systematic develop ment, and reports received from their camp are flattering. The ore bodies in the deeper workings are stronger than ever, while the values are also satisfactory. This proposition is ere ating considerable interest from re- cent work, and the current belief is that it is destined to rank as a big producer.
 Near Yarnell, Jewett and Cox are installing a big hoisting plant, and have outlined a system of deep de- velopment on their gold claims. They are remodeling their buildings and the work on the new lines should be under neadway in a few weeks.
 MT. Genung says that reports of placer operations being revived in that section are true, all gulches and even the summit of Rich Hill being worked again, and it sestimated that over one hundred men are employed and some heavy returns being re- corded. On the summit of Rich Hill five men are sluieing and rocking, and good returns are received. The placer work is confined to both sides of that high peak, and all gulehes are being diligently worked. Thous- ands of dollars will be recovered be- fore the water flow ceases.

 IMPROVING RANCHES
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 G. W. Hankin, superintendent of the Harvey dairy at Del Rio, was in the city yesterday on business, and returned in the afternoon. He says that practically all of the large acreage has been cleared, and blow ing will be started in a few days, and the ditch system enlarged to cover all the ground to be culti- vated. A few head of mileh cows are on pasture, and it is probable that in a short time many more will be sent from the main line. He speaks in high terms of the place, and says that it is a settled fact that the enterprise meets with the approval of those who are identified with the Harvey system. It is prob able, in view of these conditions, that the construction of many thousands of dollars worth of building will be authorized in a few months. Tree planting is also to be started imme- diately and the place made attractive as we'll as productive.

DEPUTY BARTLETT SHOOTS DARING
 MEXICAN
[From Fridays Daily.)

For the first time since being ap- pointed deputy sheriff of Ash Fork precinct, F. F. Bartlett was compelled yesterday morning to use his pistol, firing three snots at c. Garcia, two of which took effect, one bullet pen etrating the jawbone of the Mexican and another entering his body, in- flicting wounds that are considered serious. The officer was compelled to shoot to protect his life.
 Garcia, in the early part of the day, and while intoxicated, went into the yards of the railroad company, and pulling out a long knife, stam- peded the employees with threats of violence. Leaving that place, he en- tered a public building, which was filled with children, who became frenzied over his wild and threaten ing manner. In a few seconds the room was cleared and Garcia was in the act of running after several pu- pills when Deputy Bartlett appeared. He then retreated over the hill, and ran into a barbed wire fence, and fell. By this time the officer was close, and after commanding the Mexican to throw up his hands, Gar eia made a lunge with the knife in his hand, when the shooting con- menced. The first shot missed, but the other two reached their mark, and Garcia fell. He was picked up and brought to the station on a lit ter, and on the first train out was placed on board. He is at the Coun- ty hospital, and is reported to be suffering much pain, his jawbone be- ing shattered and the loss of blood weakening him. The wounded man bears the name of being a bulldozer, and when under the influence of liquor is considered dangerous.
 Deputy Bartlett is highly commend ed for his prompt action in averting what might have been a sad sequel to the mans mad delirium had he not been wounded.

Live stock circles of Navajo coun- ty are much agitated over the recent arrests of J. w., Heck, Jonah and D. Marley, brothers, who were bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $3O,OOO. accused of cattle stealing.

Arrivals from Vicksburg, on the A. & c. railroad, yesterday, stated that the new gold strike near the Alamo mine, a short time ago, was creating considerable excitement, and among one of the lucky owners was Jake Reese, who is well known in this city as a carpenter. Four are interested, and the discovery of $SO a ton ore in an eight foot vein, on the surface, was confirmed. The owners are developing the property and as depth is gained the values are holding out and the ore body indicates permanency. The strike is considered one of the richest ever made in that section, and is about three miles from Ocotillo, where the Alamo work ings are located.

NEW GOVERNMENT
 POSITION Is DISCLOSED

WASHINGTON, D. c. Feb. 15- A new government position is dis closed by the announcement by the U. S. Civil Service Commission of an examination which will be held Feb ruary g and 24 to find three grazing examiners for the Forest Service. The positions will pay a salary of $1,20O a year at entrance.
 The announcement specifics that the applicants must be men, at least twenty years old, and possessed of at least one seasons experience in handling range stock, together with at least one year of technical train ing in specified botanical studies.
 The establishment of this position is in line with the objects which the Department of Agriculture has always had in view in its manage ment of grazing on the National Forests. It is not merely seeking to prevent cattle and sheep from doing damage to forest growth and watershed conditions, as they graze on the herbage which is yearly pro- duced in the open forests, parks, and high mountain meadows within the National Forests. Range fed stock are matter of decided importance to the American people in these days of rising prices for food pro- duets and diminishing supplies, in proportion to the population, of live stock; and therefore Secretary Will son intends that every acre of Nat ional Forest range shall be made to produce as much forage as it IS capable of doing, consistently with the carrying out of the other pur- poses for which the National For ests are maintained.
 Ever since the Forest Service took over the management of the National forests it has been studying the range problem along with it's regulation of grazing. In the beginning it was confronted with the fact that very large part of the range had been badly abused and depleted through the competition of rival owners be- fore any restrictions had been put upon them, and by Overerowding and bad methods of handling stock. Its supporting power had in consequence been greatly reduced, and was steadi- ly declining. To enable overgrazed areas to recuperate, and to prevent the extension of overgrazed eondi- tions to the new area, the amount of stock to be allowed on the forests was everywhere carefully prescribed. The results were then observed, and if it appeared that there was still over-use of the range, the numbers permitted were cut down still further On the other hand, where reeuperation has taken place the allowance of stock has been cor respondingly increased.
