ULBROTHER OF NELLIE BY

(From Tuesdays daily)

Prescott folks may have noticed a tall man, with a camera and q de- termined look, faintly visible under a huge StetsOn, prowling about the envirOns of the city, seeking tniEgs scenic for the memorable maw of his machine.
 Doubleday is his name, and he's real brother of the fitting "Nellie Bly," who, in 1889, tore around the sphere in seventy-two days, nine hours and forty-fve minutes, for the New York World
 Doubleday says he wants the re- latiOnship forgotten until he can do something in the limelight to make the male issue of the family equally famous. He leaves for Jerome today and thence to journey to Roosevelt, where he will snap the redoubtable Colonel Roosevelt in the act of touch ing the electric button that will ded- ieate the reservoir that bears his name.

ARIZONA COPPER
 EQUIPMENT IS INSTALLED
0From Thursdays Daily.l

Reports received yesterday from the camp of the Arizona Copper-GOld Mining company, on Cherry Creek, were to the effect that the new air compressor to drive three Burleigh drills, the electric lighting and power plant and other machinery for deep mine exploitation, had been erected, and the equipment was in perfect working order.
 The plan is to sink the main work ing shaft to great depth, the old work reaching a point about 500 feet from the surface As this work pro gresses drifting will be done, and the property extended the most prae- tical consideration in it's history. The old levels in the upper part of the mine will be extended, and the ore shoots known to exist will be opened. The purpose is to follow a strict line of development for sev- eral months, and the mill will not be put in commission until the min eral characteristics of the ore bodies are known. The work is under the direction of Sherman Sessions, and in a few days the camp will be the scene of active operations.

Miners Charged With Assault For Bathing
 E. w. Thomas
Water Cure IS Given As Remedy For Timber
 Tongue
From Tuesdays paiIyl

Arrivals yesterday from Mayer brought information of rather an un- usual and novel criminal proceeding that has been instituted before Judge Knapp of that precinct, wherein sev- enteen miners, until recently employ ed by the Brooklyn Arizona Mining company, have had charges of as sault lodged against them. Partie- ulars of the alleged crime that caused this wholesale arrest are to the eff feet that E. w. Thomas, an employe of the company, is said to be the center of the alleged disturbance in receiving the brunt of the so-called assault, which, as far as can be learned, consisted of him being "dueked' by some men at the well of the company, in the camp, for a too. frequent use of his tongue. At any rate, Thomas, according to state ments made yesterday by several ar rivals from the scene, was requested to desist in his expressions, and when he refused to comply, was taken to the water cure establishment, and given wholesale bathing. As a re suit of the trouble, twenty miners employed by the company have been discharged by Manager F. E. Small,
 The trial was set for yesterday be fore Judge Knapp, but was postponed until Thursday, in order that the men might secure counsel, which they have done, in this city.

POPULARFEATURE INTRODUCED BY SANTA FE ArrangestO Sell Through Tickets to All Points
 In Arizona First Excursion of Year To Los Angeles Is
 Announced
(From Tuesday's dailyl

Beginning Monday, April 10th, the Santa Fe will inaugurate a new fea- ature that will prove a decided ae- eommodation to the travelling public.
 This innovation is in issuing through tickets to all points in Ari- zona and in checking baggage also to the point of destination. Hereto fore there have been no through ticket arrangements with connecting lines. If a person wished to go to Tucson it was necessary for him to buy a ticket to Phoenix, have his baggage transferred to the Marieopa depot and buy another ticket over City. Coming, for instance, from any point on the Southern Pacific to Prescott, tine new arrangement will be particularly appreciated by those who are obliged to travel. Those coming from Tucson only have ten minutes between the arrival of the Marieopa train and the departure of the Santa Fe train. This short in- terval hardly permits of a person transferring his baggage, checking it and buying another ticket, and as a result it has caused many to miss connections. Under the new system of through tickets, this annoyance and trouble will be avoided.
 The first excursion of the season to Los Angeles is announced. A special rate of $23.1O has been made, the occasion for the reduced price, which is lower than the usual sum mer excursion rate, is on account of the Pacific Land Products Exposition, which opens next week Tickets will be on sale on March IS, 21, 25 and 2S. with a return limit of ten days. There is no doubt but that the re- dueed rate will induce a heavy pat ronage, especially as many will take advantage of it to see "Madame Sherry" the greatest comic opera hit for years, which opens next Mon day at the Mason opera house. It had a three weeks run at San Fran cisco and hundreds were turned away at every performance, even though extra matinees were put on to accom- modate the public.

STRIKES THREE FOOT
 VEIN IN THE BILLY BOY
(From Sundays Dally.)


 Returning yesterday from his Billy Boy group of mines, on the Hassayampa, Ed. Block states that he is much pleased over the results accomplished in Ia parallel vein that is being opened by a erOsseut from the old tunnel workings, about twenty feet distant. In drifting on the new ore body he has encountered a three foot vein of good milling gold ore, and is elated over the de- termination and he intends to con tinue the work indefinitely. This development, in conjunction with the old tunnel that shows good values at all points. materially enhances the value of the property, and affords a large area for future operations.
 Mir Block expresses himself as pleased over the excellent showing made on the proposition since pur- chasing it, less than year ago, and anticipates the making of a desir- able property when plans outlined are carried out, in the near future.

Ten Inch Vein Samples Nearly Two Hundred
 Dollars a Ton
Startling Find is Made In New Tunnel In
 Virgin Ground
(From Tuesdays Daily

During the past week, the most noteworthy determination ever made in uneovering rich gold ore bodies in new grounds by the Climax Min ing company, took place in the face of the long drift on the Lion claim of the group, when a ten inch vein of ore that sampled $196.31 was cut. This strike has oecasioned consider able diScussion, and has added ma terially to the expectations of the company in its plan of development, from the fact that the work is being prosecuted to make connections wita old workings on the opposite side Of the mountain, where. d ,lsng tunnel was run in the early days of oper- ating the property. The drift that exposes the new ore. body will be continued and the stoping of the rich zone will be earrieas on ener- getieally. It is the purpose of the management to utilize the. tunnel for bringing the yield to the tramway, and thence to the mill, for treat ment. A very large tonnage is ready, and there is every indication from what has been established in the new strike that the mill will have a steady run.
 General Manager s. L. Duncan has been adding slowly to the mine force during the past few months, and states that the plant will begin drop ping stamps next week, with an abundance or ore in sight. As soon as the exploitation justifes, miners will be added as rapidly as possible, the intention being to get the prop erty on a strong working basis, in view of the good results obtained in several test runs, one of which with Cnly a few men, resulted in a sl,54O bar of bullion being returned :n less than two weeks, or nearly $3,OG0 for the month. The Climax has been under quiet development for several months and thousands of feet of drifting has been done.
