PIONEERS NAMED ID ENTER THE
 HOME
Four Are Allotted From This County By
 Authorities /
CFrom Tuesdays DaiIy)

Major A. J. Doran, superintendent of the Pioneer Home, yesterday re- ceived official adviees from the Board of Control, at Phoenix, author izing him to admit immediately to that institution, Judge N. L. Griffin, Louis B. St. James, William Baxter and Patrick Donlan, all of Yavapai county. The receipt of this welcome news created a joy among those whom it affects, while their many friends were pleased at the kindly consideration extended these deserv- ing Hassayampers. They are the first who are to enroll their names at the Home, and they are also among the first who entered the Territory, away back in the perilous days of the '60s, hence are entitled to the recognition extended them.
 Judge Griffin was the first to walk up the trail to the Home, and Captain St. John. assistant superin- tendent, gave him entree to the in- terior, and incidentally his prefer enee to the selection of quarters. This veteran of the colony went to the northwest corner on the first floor and threw his effects into that room, where he said he would "eamp" for the remainder of his days A few minutes afterward MT. St. James came along, and after taking the "traeks' of his Hassa- yampa colleague. pulled on the latch string, said it looked good to him, and believed he would "bunk" with the Judge again. just as they had done on Lynx Creek, away back in 1863. These men in all the years that have elapsed, since they were associated in mining. have maintain ed a regard that is almost kindred in affection for each other. The snad- owy past will be recalled in all the pleasures and privatiOns incidental to those days, and the two pioneers will again be at home.
 Other applicants for the Home are said to include two from MarieOpa, one from Pima, and three from Co., ehise county, and they will arrive within the next few days.
 Captain St. John and wife, with Mrs. Simpson, assistant matron, and Chief Cook Reynolds, have each started upon their labOrs, and every thing is moving along in a pleas ant and methodieal manner. Later announcement will be made of re- eeiving days.
 Through the kindly consideration of the Monday Club of this city and the Women's Federation of Arizona, together with the contribution Of Mrs. J. L. Munds of this city, an abundance of literature is at the dis position of the people at the Home.

LAO4OaS IdNoPds
 W. c. Miller, interested with NJ. H. Perkins in the stock business on the Upper Verde, has returned from a several weeks vacation in Oklahoma and Texas. which he reports expert encing the worst drouth ever known. Land conditions are deplOrable in consequence, and practically all crops will be failures. He says to appre- eiate Yavapai county is to leave it, and he will remain steadfast with this section, where long grass and fat cattle are in evidence.
 Pleased Miner.
 E. r. King, who is developing his mines near Hot Springs Junction, was an arrival in the city Sunday on business, and will return to his camp today. He states that he is pleased with the showing made on his mines, and imparts the infOrma- tion that from production at limited depth the proposition is paying its way. The ores carry gold, silver and copper values, and the district at several points is active with individ- ual operators. General reports in circulation in that section were to the effect that the White Cloud mine was showing up a strong and very rich body of ore, and the gen eral opinion is that it was destined to rank as one of the biggest gold producers in that field.
 Pioneer Miner Dies.
 James B. Bynan, for the past twen- ty-One years a resident of Arizona, and for over six months at the County hospital, suffering with tu- berculosis, passed away yesterday morning from that afflietion. He was aged II years, and was native of New York City. A brother is the only known relative that sur wives. who resides in the East. The remains are at Ruffner's, awaiting instructions for burial.
 Finish Big Contract.
 w. V. Radley returned Sunday from the camp of the Frisco Mines and Power company, near Kingman, where the firm of Elliott Radley Con- struetion company mas finished in- stalling a $l00,0OO reduction plant for that enterprise. MT. Elliott re- mains at the works for a few weeks to make test runs. of the plant for metallurgical results. The equipment is said to be the best in that field, and the proposition as a mining one is regarded as one of the coming big gold producers. Mir. Radley states that it was most interesting to hear live stock growers express themselves on the splendid conditions that faced the industry The range had never before appeared to be so prolific in feed. and there was rejoicing every where among cattle and sheep grow CTS.

FUTURE
 FOR THE VERDE

Essler Monroe, one of the repre- sentative farmers of the Verde Val ley, who is visiting with his mother, Mrs. s. J. Monroe, in this city, states that at no time in the history of that section have general eondl- tions been So prosperous as at the present time. By reason of the neavy rains that have fallen at an earlier time this year than usual, crops are assured several weeks ahead of the previous year, and the winter wheat yield will be the heav- jest that was ever known before. The farming element have devoted a very large acreage to this staple, and 1t is the belief that in succeeding years this yield will be a heavy one. In speaking of the big Territorial bridge across the Verde river, he states that the rains have been so heavy as to interfere with work and the structure will not be ready for at least three weeks. The project meets with universal approval, as well as does the coming of the new road to that country.

NO REPLY YET ID CHALLENGE ID
 DEBATE
"Leaguers'' Seem Afraid To Argue The
 Question
CFrom Tuesdays Daily

Up to the time of going to press last night no reply had been received from the Statehood League in regard to the proposition to hold a joint debate in Jerome and Prescott upon the question "shOuld the COnstitu- tion be ratified?"
 It is understood that a committee who with MT. Cunniff as chairman was appointed to coneoct an answer purporting to give reasons for side stepping the challenge. One of the ''reasons" is that the conditions are unacceptable. It is claimed that as the burden of proof is on the affirmative, that side should have the closing speech. Doubtless, Messrs. Morrison and Clark would cOneede that point if the Leaguers' would agree to enter into debate. Such a discussion would be edifying and at times perhaps exciting, the public would certainly enjoy hearing it and would derive valuable information therefrom. Thus far the Leaguers have been bushwhaeking. Let them come out in the open and stand their ground if they have any ground to stand upon.
 The more light there is shed upon the subject the better it will be for everybody. LET THERE BE LIGHT.

FINE REPORT OF UNITED GOLD
 MINES
Larger Equipment to Be Placed Upon The
 Property
CFrom Thursdays DailyJ


 At the annual stockholders meet ing yesterday of the United Gold Mines company, the president, D. J Sullivan, submitted a report which for its thOroughness, accuracy and in, formative detail called forth the un, stinted eommendation of all who were present. His report not only dealt with the financial affairs of the company in detail, but it showed all of the development work that had been done illustrated by maps and diagrams.
 The mine, which is now $40 feet in depth, is situated close to the old Congress mine, and is equipped with Nissen stamp mill of thirty ton ca. paeity and a cyanide plant, in addi- ton to the usual hOisting equipment The tonnage blocked out is large enough to justify a larger plant and the addition of such modern appli. anees as air drills. For this purpose the stockholders yesterday unani- mously voted to amend the articles of incorporation increasing the cap ital stock to $3,50O,000.
 At the meeting yesterday five sixths of the capital stock was rep resented in person, and the old Of- fieers, as follows, were reelected: D. J. Sullivan, president and treas urer. T NJ. MeGill, vice president; Chas. NJ. Raible, secretary. These together with the following, cOnsti- tute the Board of Directors: D. A. Burke, NJ. H. Sullivan, H. A. CrOnin, and Sylvan Newhal.

MOHAVE MINES
 CONTINUE ID PRODUCE
(Mohave County Miner

Thirteen teams are now hauling from the Banner mine, at Stockton Hill, the ores being shipped to the Needles shelter. Owing to the heavy roads the shipment of ore has been light, but it is expected to increase the tonnage as soon as the roads be- come hard again. Some of the big teams have been able to handle but half loads the past week, due to the rains. Teams are now being sent to the Champion mine, which prop erty is expected to send out daily tonnage of forty tons. From the two mines about one hundred tons daily will be sent to the shelter, which combined with the ores from other properties will give the smelt- CT at Needles a large tonnage from this county. The Banner and Cham pion ores are high in lead values, besides carrying good values in gold and silver. As soon as the Tennessee mine is put in the producing class the company will have solved the ore problem for the big smelter at Needles.
 John Boyle, Jr., general manager of the Union Basin Mining company, was a Kingman visitor this week. He reports everything at the mine and mill running along smoothly. About seventy-five men are em- plOyed at the GOlcOnda and Prosper ity mines and in and about the mill. The plant is shipping a car load of ore every day to the smelter at Bartlesville, Okla. It is expected, to increase the present tonnage of the mill materially by the addition of more eOncentratOrs to handle the big tonnage of ore in the mine stOpes. There is about one and a half million dollars worth of ore in the stOpes. broken down and ready to be hoisted to the mill. All of this broken ore will run about 9 per cent zine and carries other values.
 Thursday the first ear load of lead ore from the property of the Saera- mento Valley Mining company was sent to the shelter The ore was taken from the recent find of ore in that property. and is said to run about 90 per cent lead and to carry values in gold and silver. The ore body is three feet wide and appears to be several hundred feet in length The company has three claims in the group, the Constitution. Cactus Bios som and Marion. A holster has been purchased and will be removed to the mine at once. The old shaft on the property, which stands at depth of about ninety feet. will be sunk another one hundred feet and drifts will be run off along the ore body. As soon as the hoist goes into commission three shifts will be put on the mine and the work pushed as fast as possible. The mine was only taken over last month by the new organization, and the first big ear of ore that mas just been shipped shows that the management is not slow moving.
 William Baily. one of the princi- pal shareholders of the Gold Road Mining and Exploration company, came in from that property Thursday last and departed to Los Angeles. It is understood that the main shaft of the Gold Road mine Is being un- watered and will be sampled by the
