ESTEEMED CITIZEN
 BURNED TO DEATH
Louis NelliS Loses Life in Fire Due To Explosion of a Lamp in His
 Apartments in Turkey
CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

The discovery of the dead body. of the man revealed an awful sight. He was fohnd near the doorway, and from his position it is believed he made a desperate effort to reach the only avenue of escape in the build ing. His features were unreeogniz able, and his body was also badly burned. He was scantily clothed and from this it is believed he had re- tired and was awakened when the flames seized nim.
 The building was situated between the residence and business house of MT. Nellis. It had been ociupied for several years by the deceased who was old and feeble and who preferred this seclusion. He had. been in this territory for the past eight years and was in delicate health.
 He was a native of New York state, and S7 years old. The remains were buried at that place yesterday afternoon by Lester Ruffner, under taker, of this city. The unfortunate accident has cast a gloom over that community and sorrow is expressed over the sad fate that overlook this excellent man

ROAD To GRAND
 CANYON IS STARTED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Active road building from Prescott to the county line north of Ash Fork was inaugurated yesterday, Jesse Kel- lam leaving with the county grading machine, all livestock and a full camp equipment for Patterson s ranch which will be the main working base for a few weeks. D. N. Clark, super intendent, will leave today in his auto to direct the work. The route from Prescott north begins at the pipe line, west of Jerome Junction, and runs thence to Puntenney's in lower Big Chino Valley. From that point Patterson ranch is the next place, and from the latter the route traverses the mesa over an old pri- vate road to Ash Fork. From Ash Fork. another old road leads 10 the county line, distant about forty miles, where COeonino county assures the task of construction to Fl Tovar Hotel, on the rim of the Grand Can yon. The new route is expected to be completed within the next six weeks, when the Grand Canyon will be within easy distance of any vehi- ele. It is reported that public auto service will be inaugurated between Ash Fork and Prescott after the roas reaches that point, with a schedule of running time introduced, to ac- commodate travel on the Santa Fe, either west or east bound.

DEEP DEVELOPMENT
 FOR HAYNES COPPER
(From Thursdays Daily )

kL DaAgsJ
 In speaking yesterday of his re cent trip to New York city in the interest of the Haynes Copper com. pany at Jerome, T. E. Campbell con- veys the important information that his mission was successful, and he secured financial assistance for con. ducting large operations for at least sixteen months. It will also be learn ed with interest that a complete re- organization of the board of directors and management has been effected and the purpose is to go ahead on a plan that will permit of the greatest exploitation of that desirable prop. erty, C. B. Stranahan, the new presi- dent and general manager, is the largest domestic producer and import e7 of iron pyrites in the United States, and feels confident of demon stTating the merits of this well known copper proposition.
 In speaking of the mine work to be inaugurated MT. Campbell says that the main three-eompartment working shaft will be sunk 800 feet deeper which will give a depth of 1900 feet. Sufficient development in drifting and erosscutting to definite ly prove ore values in the north and west faults will also be prosecuted. The last work on the 700 foot level shows that the primary condition must be reached before big ore bodies can be proven, hence the extensive plan of development.
 Incidental to prosecuting the work additional pumping facilities will be introduced and such are now en route from the east. This apparatus Is expected to arrive within the next few days and will be placed at once. About two weeks will be occupied in unwatering the mine and in the meantime the camp will be put in condition for operation.
 MT. Campbell expressed himself in a favorable manner yesterday over the outcome of recent negotiations and from his knowledge of the under taking after many years of an asso- citation in directing the work he is confident of the creation of another desirable property in that well known field of bonanza mines.

CFrom Thursdays Daily.)


 George Carey and Matt Sullivan, who recently disposed of the De Gandt gold mines mar Columbia to MT. Locke, of Albuquerque, returned to the south yesterday by Crown King. They will start development on other mines immediately in that section. MT. Locke stated before leaving for the east yesterday that his interests are financed and he will install mill at once in addition to placing a large force of miners at work. He is anxious to have the matter of wagon road communication acted upon for that district at the earliest date possible which will af- ford all interests substantial assistance in future operations. Crown king would be the terminal point for ship ping by rail, which is distant by wagon road from his camp only sev- enteen miles. Less than eight miles of road will be necessary to build, and there is a general demand for the highway to be constructed from other mine owners

One of the most horrible deaths that has ever occurred in this county was that of Thursday night at II o'clock, when Louis Nellis, the aged father of l.. P. Nellis, was burned to a crisp in a building at Turkey, on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, by a kerosene lamp explosion in the room while we has asleep. Particulars of the awful tragedy are to the effect that Mr. Nellis had retired earlier in the night, and as was his custom had left the lamp burning on the table near his bed, after retiring. It is be- heved the oil had burned low, and with the accumulation of gas the ex- piosion resulted, scattering the burn ing fluid through the small room. I'm mediately the building was in flames, which was noticed by several Indians camped near by, who gave the alarm. MT. Nellis, son of the deceased, was among the first to reach the building
 but his efforts to rescue and save his father were futile. The intense heat from the building made entry impossible and in a few minutes the structure was burned to the ground.

BLACK RIVER HAS
 SPLENDID ORE SHOWING

Considerable discussion among min CTS is going on over the recent dis eovery of rich gold ore in the mines of the Black River Mining company, near Turkey, on the Bradshaw Noun tain railroad. The strike was made a few days ago in the bottom of the main shaft and is free gold in char aeter, running very hign. No values were given publicity, but several samples have been received in this city confirming the reports of the rich find. The ore has an average width of one inch. The point of dis eovery is about 15O feet deep. The ore is the first of the character en- eountered since operations were start ed several months ago.
 The Black River interests are con- trolled by residents of Flagstaff in a close corporation. Since beginning work operations nave progressed quietly. G. N. Baty, general manager of the company, returned to Flag staff a few days ago, and is a ire quent visitor 10 the property.

George Whitaker, mining man of Big Bug, while in the city yesterday on a brief business visit, stated that the frost of last week acted in a very peculiar manner at his place. The fruit was not disturbed in the least. but all the vegetables in the garden were nipped and nothing in that line will be produced. Heretofore the opposite has been the case. He states that there are pending several mining sales in that district, and he looks for very prosperous times this year. Many miners are also at work and the general situation is better than for some time.

BIG RECLAMATION
 PROJECT INDORSED
Dr. Cooke Says no Irrigation Enterprise In Country Has Such Ideal Climatic
 Conditions Or Soil as Fertile
(From Saturdays Daily.)

That the immense reclamation pro-
 jeet and water storage undertaking of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, is assuming shape was ex- emplifed yesterday when George A. Thayer, representing the company made the first payment to D. M.
 Wynkoop for the latter's 900 acre tract of land that is to be utilized as the water storage site for the big dam on the lower end of Willow Creek. This movement following the purchase of the 32,000 acres of land mentioned earIer in the week, praeti- eally assures the beginning of actual work on this great project, which from a private ownership standpoint is the largest that has ever been started in Arizona. MT. Thayer, in speaking of the amount of money his company has already outlayed in the preliminary work, stated that nearly $50.000 had been disbursed. Since giving publicity to the intentions of the company a few days ago, ana after the all important land question had been definitely settled, the com pany has been very active. Surveys have been run from the proposed di- version dam site on the Fort Whipple military reservation, for the canal that will conserve the waters of Granite Creek during the flood sea son. This work was finished yester- day, and the distance to the inn pounding reservoir is two and one half miles. Another survey is going on from the main storage dam site on Willow Creek for the pipe lines that will traverse the immense acre age to be cultivated, which is esti- mated at thirty miles, finding an out let in Lower Chino valley. The di- version dam at Whipple will have a height of about eight feet above the surface of Granite creek, and a width of over 300 feet. At the point selected natural conditions favor the of desirable service.
 Mir. Thayer stated yesterday that before three months actual eonstruc tion of the great project will be in augurated Various matters, official and otherwise, are to be considered in the meantime, which will not per init of carrying out the purposes de- sired until that time.
 It will be interesting to learn that

the company is imbued with the high
 motives of having a recognized au-
 thonty at the head of its land re- elamation branch to supervise the cul-
 tivatiOn of the soil, and has rendered
 that important office to Dr. V. T.
 Cooke, director of dry farming of the state of Wyoming, who is in the city at the present time, the guest of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce.
 Dr. Cooke, as yet, has not given pub Eeity to his intentions but that he may be prevailed upon to tender his invaluable service for at least one year is believed. In speaking of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Com pany's enterprise after a trip over the lands,-he says:
 ''I know of no irrigation enterprise in any part of the United States where climatic conditions, fertility of the soil, etc, are so nearly ideal as those obtaining under this project so near your doors.
 "I can see no reason why the fol- lowing crops cannot be successfully grown on the soils above referred to; winter wheat, winter rye, spring bar ley, oats and wheat, emmer, common ly called speltz, alfalfa and alfalfa seed, stock beets, potatoes, field peas, corn, sorghum, Milo maize, Kafir corn, etc, and possibly, winter barley and oats, broom grass and slender wheat grass"
 During the present week, several residents of the city have personally inspected the site where the large dam is to be constructed The loes- tiOn is ideal from an engineering standpoint, and one of the favorable conditions associated with eonstruc- tion work will be the inexhaustible supply of material available. From a scenic consideration, the attraction will be one of the most alluring in the country. Pinnacles will be seen projecting from the submerged dells, cosy retreats in sheltered hooks will dot a large area, and in addition there will be an open lake of water that is nowhere to be seen in Arizona outside of the Roosevelt proposition In all the project appeals strongly to all as one that is not only laudable in it's purposes, but from land re clamation standpoint the greatest ever initiated in the history of Ari- zona.

THREE ADMITTED
 TO PIONEERS HOME
(From Wednesdays Daily.) )

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Three of the best known Hassay ampers in Arizona arrived in Pres colt Monday afternoon from Pinal county, and have enrolled their names on the register of the Pioneers Home They are c. W. Fuller, George Thurs ton and "Jack" Green.
 MT. Fuller was among the first tillers of the soil in Pinal county and had considerable difficulty in raising a crop of corn. As fast as it would grow, the Apache would steal it, and he abandoned the in. dustry and enlisted in the good cause to exterminate them.
 George Thurston, in early days, was regarded as an excellent accountant, and filed many rasponsib,, positions of trust in the south.
 MT. Green has an excellent reputa- tiOn for honesty and integrity, and in the long years that he served faithfully and efficiently many em- plOyers, his name stands without a blemish for exemplary citizenship.
 All of the above pilgrims of the Gila entered Arizona in the eos, and in their day were enterprising citizens.
 The roll of the home now shows a total of twenty-three members, and up to date not one has been in the hospital ward.
