DRY WASHER IS UNDERGOING
 A TEST
(From Fridays Daily)

Considerable interest is prevailing in placer mining circles of Walnut Grove over the test run that is being made by new type of dry washing machine, the invention of James Wis. hart, of Pasadena, Cal, who is per. sonally conducting the work on Milk Creek. He is foundry man, of that city and is accompanied on the trip by his assistants, Messrs. French and Beardsley.
 The apparatus he brings to that field Is the miniature of the one that will be placed on the market later, and weighs about 3s0 pounds. Tests made of the soil at various places es. tablish the feasibility of the invention and returns are said to have been very satisfactory to date. Revolving screens disintegrate the soil, and with the system of blowers in use, the dust is caught in rifles, with various other auxiliary saving utilities. Clay cannot be treated, but in this connee' tion the dry plant can be, 1t is said, transformed into wet treatment with. out much trouble to reduce by water pressure any solid substance that may be encountered.
 The machine Is driven by power and is simple in connection and easily operated. The ones to be placed on the market weigh two and oue-half tons, and are gauged to handle twen. ty tons of dirt per hour, either by the wet or dry process. Mir. wishart will remain in that field to work over var. ious channels for several weeks by both the dry and wet processes.

BLANCHHARD HITS
 THE YELLOW METAL
From Friday \ Daily)

Arrivals from Turkey on the Brad. shaw Mountain Railway Wednesday evening report that very rich strike of gold ore had been made by James Blanchard a few days ago while doing assessment work on his group about one mile from the station. At one point in erosseutting the vein, at shallow depth five foot body of free milling ore had been cut into that gave fabulous values when banned. The discovery was creating consider able excitement, and in eonsequenee many locations were being made on adjoining ground. This is said to be the first important gold discovery made in that field, silver mining be ing the principal industry. The ownel formerly resided at Iron King and Ii brother of Ben Blanchard.

Important Decisions Affecting All Government Lands
COPYRIGHT, 1911.

not be granted, where it appears that the interests involved are large and the United States is in truth and in fact party in interest, but will be disposed of on iSs merits.
 Mining.
 Land chiefly valuable for a clay de- posit, from which cement may be manufactured, does not bring the land within the mineral classification. There is no substantial distinction, as far as the mining laws are concerned, between a deposit of clay suitable for the manufacture of ordinary bricks and one capable of being utilized in the production of Portland cement.
 The jurisdiction of the Land de- partment in all matters involving the disposition of the public domain is plenary and exclusive, except where specific legislation has made the ad- indications of local tribunals auIii. isry to the proceedings before the Land department connected with ae- quisition of title.
 When one applies for a patent un- der non mineral application, the Land department must determine tho land to be non-mineral before a pat ent can issue; and when m applicant applies for patent for mineral land, the Land department must determine that such land is mineral before pat. ent can issue to such applicant.
 Great care should be taken by all officers taking testimony to see that the exhibits offered in evidence ae- company the record in order that the same may be complete when consider ed by the adjudicating officers. 9th erwise the record may be remanded for completion.
 An applicant for patent must pro. eeed with diligence to complete his patent proceedings, and where there is no obstacle or barrier to prevent completion of the patent proceedings within the calendar year in which the publication of notice was completed. the entry should be cancelled. Any reasons for apparent delay must be specifically shown.
 When coal Is exposed upon part of the land at the time homestead entry was made, it Is then incumbent upon the entryman to determine, at his peril, whether the tract was or was not chiefly valuable for the coal deposits thereon. In such case, good faith being shown, entryman may he afforded an opportunity to elect to receive n restrictive patent to the land, under provisions of the act of March 2, 1909.

ITALIAN ID GAGGED
 AND TIED TO TREE
(From rriday's Dsily.)

One Of the most high handed crim. inal transactions that has ever been known in this county was committed . few days ago on the grade of the new railroad out of Cedar Glade, when an Italian workman was gagged and tied to cedar tree by two white hoboes, and robbed of everything of value on his person. The affair ere ated general condemnation when learned of, and although every effort was made to hunt down the crimin. als, they succeeded in escaping.
 The Italian gives a thrilling ac- count of the deed, saying that he came from Ash Fork on foot to Cedar Glade to hunt for work, and on the road met the two men, who also stat cd that they were going to the front on like duty. Arriving at the sta. tion the Italian pulled from his pocket . purse and took out . silver dollar to treat his companions who were broke and who wanted drink of whisky. In the pocketbook were about eight silver dollars and mis- ccllaneous assortment of small wares, which somewhat inflated that recep. tacle. The supposition that the purse had considerable money from its bulgy proportions, is probably what led to the hold.up that followed few hour, later at a lonely spot off the grade When about four miles out, one of the hobos whipped out a forty.five gpn and in front of the weapon the Ital ian marched to the spot designated where a large cedar was standing tc receive him. Before he was gagged and tied to the tree, his pickets were rifled and everything he owned wal taken from his person, including good silver watch, finger rings, pocket knife, razor, handkerchiefs, with th' big purse, which contained less thai Al0. He was then tied to the tree where he remained for over thre' hours, and the closest camp out O sight three miles away. After re leasing himself he started down th line, losing his bearings on the roa' out. He travelled over ten miles be fore a camp was. reached, and b that time the two men had an oppo' tunity to board the first train out O Cedar Glade. The news did not reae
 the outside until the next morning O
 account of there being no line of com
 munication established with the var ous camps.

 SHIPPING
From Fridays DaiIy)

Arrivals from Skull Valley ycstcr. day bring the important news that it was reported the Commercial Mining company will begin shipping from their mines in Copper Basin in a few days, and that several hundred tons are to be sent to Douglas for treat. mcnt at Copper Queen smelters. A large dump has accumulated at the works from recent development in the tunnel and winze, carrying very high values in copper, ranging to as high as 40 per cent. Production is still going on in crosscutting and drifting, and reliable reports from the camp continue to be remarkable as to the immensity of the new ore bodies being developed. Copper mining cx. perts who have recently inspected the holdings of the Commercial people speak in high terms of the property after inspecting the large dump that has accumulated from limited devel. opment.

NEW UNITED VERDE
 SHELTER PLANNED
Capacity to be Double Old Plant And Of Most Modern Design Possi-
 ble to Build

tinue in operation for two years.
 Speaking of Jerome and her future, he did not think 1t would make any difference for with the increased smelter capacity a larger force of men would be put to work in and about the mine, Jerome will continue to have about the same number of men em. ployed as at this time.
 The smelter and shops will be To. eated in the valley, and will employ from four to five hundred men, says the Copper Belt.
 The capacity of the new shelter will be 6,o00,ooo pounds per month, or more than twice that of the pres. cnt plant, which has been running short the past year, owing to the settling of some of the machinery which has caused . shortage of pow. CT for production.
 The new smeltcr will be primarily for the United Verde ores, but there will be a complete sampling plant in order to sample and treat ores from outside districts, which might be ad- vantageous. This will apply particul. arly to silicious ores or precious met. als, which they will treat in connec. tion with ferruginous copper ores.
 Mir. Clark said he felt confident that this smelter would open up mines in the Bradshaws and Mohave county, and generally throughout the state.
 The United Verde is now treating 100 tons of ore per day from Ludlow, Cal, and will soon be treating 150 tons per day. This ore is treated di. reetly in the basic lined converters, the ore having the effect of protecting the lining of the converters by taking up and combining with the large ex. cess of iron and sulphur in the mat, leaving its own copper, silver and gold values to be recovered in the converter.
 c. IT. Repath is designing the plans for the new shelter. This gentleman has a worldwide reputation in his line, having been associated with others in designing the washoe smel ter at Anaconda, Mont, the largest plant in the world, the Cerro de Pascc in Chili, and has himself designed and completed the International al Tooele, Utah, and has designed tho Calumet & Arizona and the Arizons Copper in this state. MT. Repatf khopes to have his final plans read, to submit in about ninety days.
 There are many improvements ant substantial repairs about the present smelter, including much new machin cry. The third furnace was blown il yesterday.

OPPOSE ANY SPLIT
 or THE UNIVERSITY
CFrom Fridayr Dsily.)

A resolution placing the Prescott Chamber of Commerce emphatically on record against legislative action look ing to the segregation of any part of the University of Arizona from Tue. son, was unanimously adopted at last nights meeting, which was largely attended despite the holiday.
 Prof. R. II. Forbes, in charge of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Tucson, made strong plea for the maintenance of all branches of his in. stitution at its present center. He cited the case of New Mexico, where the branch colleges have so weakened the prestige of the University, that it is rated in the fourth class of American seats of learning.
 Arizona, he continued, ranked in the second elass and this was largely due to the centralization of the integral parts under one executive head in one place.
 In his department, Prof. Forbes says, it is proposed to secure appro priations enabling the teaching of q high school course in agriculture al several centers in the state. A fur ther resolution was drafted, strongly urging such appropriation and th' carrying out of this plan.
 "From the Source to the Mouth o a Desert River" will be the subjec of an illustrated lecture to be givel by Prof. Forbes tonight at 8, at th High School auditorium. Admission is free and the general public, includ lining students of the higher gradcs, I cordially invited. The school director have offered the Chamber the use O the auditorium without charge.
 The secretary was authorized to Al range for visit from State veterir arian Norton, during which he vii instruct hog-raisers how to proven disease among swine.

[from Wednesdays Daily)
 In an interview with General Man. ager Chas. W. Clark on Wednesday afternoon, the editor was informed that it was the intention of the con. tractors on the Cedar Glade and Verde Valley railroad to have the road completed to the shelter site by September. Engineer Mcguire of the Salt Lake road was here last week, and three locating engineers arrived yesterday. The first work will begin at the 1000 foot tunnel and the road will he built from this point to the smelter site a distance of about six miles, broad gauge, with a maximum grade of about { per cent. Shea en. zines will be used on this branch, and it Is hoped to complete this six miles of road within six months.
 Bids for this work will be asked as soon as the locating engineers have completed this work. Subsequent to this will follow the continuation of  this road to the town of Jerome.
 In speaking of the Cedar Glade and Verde Valley railroad Mir. Clark said:
 "I do not think that the road will stop at the smelter site, but will be continued on down through the valley, giving the farmers a market for their produce. With road con venieut for the farmers the great haul 30 detrimental to fruits would be avoided and the fruits would reach the markets in better condi ton. Warehouses and cold storage plants can be erected and the magni ficent fruits reach the market of the world in prime condition"
 Tn speaking of the smoke problem the gentleman said he did not antici pate any trouble from this cause Every precaution will be taken to dc away with all poisonous elements The smoke from the ores of the Unit ed Verde mine contain no antimon, and arsenic, as do those of Montana and which cause so much disaster The stack at the valley shelter vii be 400 feet in height. All moderl appliances for the destruction of pois onous gases will be installed at th' plant, and he confidently believe that the beautiful orchards will no suffer.
 The farms of the Sheas, the Jor dams, Humberts, Petchaus, Haskells etc, have all been placed under tn supervision of Will A. Jordan, and h will, with large force of men em ployed, bring them into higher stat of cultivation than ever before.
