The Windfall management has
adopted the ''slicing' system Of mining,
similar to the method used in the Eu.
reka Con solidated. Bingham. Utah, and
other famous properties. This method
though of comparatively recent inven.
ton and but little known to the mining
world. is especially adaptable to large
ore bodies. While somewhat expensive
in the early stages of development it
has the advantage when we'll under
way Of cheap mining. clean ore. and ss
complete protection to miners as can be
had.
Three raises from the 100 foot level
to the surface have been pushed
through-two more from the 100 and
two from the 200 are under way.
Sixty.ive men are now employed and

formation, but it is known that the
best ore the mine has ever produced
has been opened on the 300 foot level,
and in addition to the excellent grade
of milling ore. lead ore carrying several
hundred dollars in gold and silver is
being sacked for shipment to the
smelters. 1t is not known whether
this ore will be shipped by team to
Palisade or held until the rebuilding of
the E. & p. Railway.
The mill is now treating 80 tons of
ore per day and there are rumors that
the company is considering the ad-
visibility of increasing its plant to 200
tons per day.

FlOWER-sTREWN GRAVES
Memorial Day Observed in Eureka
Tuesday In An Impressive
andAppropriate Manner

The memorial services at the Ma
sonic and Odd Fellows Hall last Tues
day forenoon were very impressive and
a large number Of people were present
in fact the capacity of the hall was
not sufficient Il accommodate all who
we're In attendance.
The exercises were conducted at the
hall by Past Noble Grands Spencer
Reynolds and Frank j. Brossemer Of
Eureka Lodge No. 90. I. o. o. f., as.
sisted by the officers and members OF
the Lodge and Daughters Of Rebekah.
The day was observed with solemnity
and the Stars and Stripes waved at half
mast over the public buildings. The
people from Ruby Hill, Prospect, the
Windfall and Silver Conner mines and
nearby valleys came into town in large
numbers.
The exercises were begun at the hall
by the singing Of the school children,
followed by a song by the Rebekah
choir. after which Judge A. l.. Fitz-
gerald delivered the memorial address
Then followed . musical selection by
the Lobster Club Band.
When the exercises at the hall were
concluded the procession formed under
the direction of Grand Marshal ]. b.
Biale and proceeded through town to
the cemeteries in the following order:
Lobster Club Band, rendering
Cbopin's Funeral March. school chill
dren and teachers Of both the Eureka
and Ruby Hill schools, Rescue Hose
Company, Italian Benevolent Society.
Knights Of Pythias. Daughters of
Rebskah in carriages. Odd Fellows, and
citizens in carriages aud on horseback.

lows cemetery where it broke ranks
and the decoration Of the graves was
begun. After decorating the raves
there the people dispersed, some visiting
the other cemeteries and leaving their
tributes of love and affection for their
relatives and friends. few Of the graves
not having a little remembrance placed
on them.
Eureka's cemeteries this year bore
evidence Of unusual care and attention
preceding Memorial Day. The quantity
of California flowers that had been re
ceiyed, together with a large collection
Of wild flowers used in decorating the
burial grounds. carried out most fitting
ly the beautiful idea Of remembering
the dead, for which this day was desig-
mated and set apart. After the decora
ton Of the graves the procession re-
formed and marched back to town.
The excellent aad imposing turnout
was the source Of general remark, and
not q few were agreeably surprised by
the large number who took part in the
observance OF the day. In fact. it would
compare favorably with the numbers
who participated in Memorial Day ex-
%ercises when Eureka was in a more
prosperous condition than it is at
present.

After more or less difficulty in getting
the wood teams on the wood hauling,

Frank Morris Dead.

Frank Morris, one of the old
time prospectors and miners of
this section, died at the Shannon
Hospital in Clifton last Sunday
morning. Mr.. Morris had been
ailing for some time and was
taken to the hospital for treat
ment, where he passed away.
Mr.. Morris had been here over
twenty years and was a we'll
known old timer, with not an
enemy in the country so far as
we know. He came from Texas
and we understand he leaves rel
atives there. He owned two
mining claims with which he had
stayed for years. He liked to
read and took papers and maga-
zines, keeping posted on the pro-
gress of the world while out in
his camp alone.
All who knew Frank Morris
will regret to learn of his death,
and peace to his ashes" will be
the universal wish of all his
friends and acquaintances.

Taft Invitation Received In
Jail
Recipient a Classmate of Pre-
sident at Yale

Oakland, Cal. Thomas P.
Wickes, serving a six months
sentence in the county jail here
for passing a fraudulent check,
was playing cards this afternoon
when the jailor handed him a
large envelope, date Washington,
D. G. He opened it. 1t proved
to be an invitation from Presi-
dent and Mrs. Taft inviting Wick
es to be present at the Taft silver
wedding.
L guess III not play any more, "
said Wickes, after a moment of
of contemplation, and then he
went to his cell. That is all the
comment he made. Wickes was
graduated from Yale in 1878, =
of the class with President Taft.
A few years ago he was a pro-
sperous lawyer in San Francisco,
but for a year or so has been
earning a precarious livelihood in
this city. A month ago he was
found guilty of obtaining SIS on
a worthless check.

The Fourth of July barbecue

in point of attendance and socia-

points and everybody seemed to
enjoy himself. There was plenty
Of fine barbecued meat with pies.

and in fact the fat of the land
was much in evidence. Swings
were arranged from the hanging
boughs of the cottonwoods for
the young, free ice cream for the
young and old.
Bronco riding furnished n
amusement for one an all-this
kind of an exhibition is always
enjoyed" big Boy" doing the
principal part of the expert rid
ing. But, who big Boy" is no
one knows; out in the cow camps
he is known by that name and no
one seems to care as to what the
other name might be.
In the afternoon there was
speaking, with Rev. Mr.. Spray
berry as the orator of the day.
The young folks returned to
Duncan soon after the barbecue
was over and enjoyed themselves
at the dance hall and skating rink
where this pastime ran through
the afternoon and till late hour
of the night.
All in all the Fourth at Duncan
was worthy the name of a glo-
rious celebration.

Twin Peaks Has Bright
Future.

Joseph Fraser and A. N. New
house of Twin Peaks were in
town Wednesday and Thursday
in the interest of their property
in the Twin Peaks district. The
Twin Peaks mining company is
becoming known all over this
section as property of much
promise, and with the careful
development and live manage
ment they have had from the be-
ginning they are now beginning
to see some realization of their
earlier hopes. Having spent about
two thousand feet of develop
ments, which has shown much
good ore, they are in position
now to- hold out more than a
mere hope to those who wish to
take trial investment in min
ing. The management has been
conservative from the beginning,
partly from choice. and partly
from necessity, and the manage
ment having at all times looked
for the best obtainable at the
lowest price they certainly have
made some great strides in the
way of proving their ground.
They have gone down into the
ground and proven the existence
of large ore bodies. Morenci

FOURTH YEAR
Endorses Col. Pickett.

TUCSON, June %. Few have
ever conducted political cam
paigns more cheaply, economic
ally, or regularly than has w. B.
Cleary who is in Tucson for a
few days, not this time conduct
ing political campaign but to try
a case that has been transferred
from Cochise to Pima county.
Just at present Mr.. Cleary feels
that he is in the saddle and
has nothing to insurge over.
Many of his ideas, those that in
the past he ardently advocated
are embodied in the constitution
that was framed at Phoenix and
he sees nothing to "insurge over"
very strenuously just at present
especially as he looks for that
faction of the democratic party
that controlled the constitutional
convention to control the first
statehood election. Hence w. B.
Cleary is just at presentas mild as
it is possible for him to be.
Yesterday a reporter had a
little chat with Mr.. Cleary while
the latter was waiting with more
or less patience for the closing
Of the case on trial in the district
court and the calling of the case
in which he was interested. Af-
ter going over the political situa-
tion casually thereporter inquired
who was likely to be first senator
from Arizona from. the south,
assuming that one will be drawn
from the southern and the other
from the northern part of the
state to be. ''Col. Pickett of
Tombstone" came the prompt and
unhesitating reply. He puts
his nomination up to the people,
he favors popular election of SEN
ators and has so declared himself.
Cochise county will favor him
and | believe he will go. to the
United States Senate. Personal
ly | can say unhesitatingly, | am
a Pickett man. He is a consist
ent promoter of Arizona's inte-
rests and he can and does COM
mand the confidence of the peo-
pie. He will tell exactly where he
stands on all issues and make his
campaign upon popular issues. :"
1t was gently limited that Pima
county has some senatoria a
aspiran IS that may be heard
from, but the speaker promptly
waived aside, THAT is we'll
enough and proper" he said,
but Pima county is republican
county and as such is not in a
position to dictate or to name
a candidate for the United States
senate. Cochise county is the
banner democratic county of Ari-
zona and will name a senator. :"
he said.
1t was limited that conditions
were changing in this county and
that it cannot be counted upon
by the Republicans with any de-
gree of certainty, but on this Mr..
Cleary declared he required to
be shown.
