 McManigal said he went to Hobo ken to confer with Frank C. Webb, of New York, about blowing up a viaduct. A dispute arose and Mo Manigal told Webb that Hockin was paying for the work and he purposed 10 follow instructions.
 "Hockin paid me $250 for the Bos- ton and Hoboken jobs" said Nc Manigal. Then it was arranged I should meet ]. B. McNamara for the first time. Hockin had telegraphed me to meet him in Indianapolis. We went from there 10 Muncie, Ind. where we met J. B. Hockin made all arrangements here about get ting rigs, boxes and cans for the nitroglycerin he was negotiating for. He had me buy a piano box and rent house, fill barrels with saw dust and put them in the house for storing the explosive Hockin paid me for the rent of the house and ar ranged with a well-shooter to get the nitroglycerin, which we trans ferred to the house in Muncie.
 ''In February, 1910, In Chicago, I received a telegram from Hockin to come to Indianapolis I did not go, but J. B. McNamara came to Chi cago and told me Hockin had sent him 10 explain a new invention. ].

BODY SUPPOSED TO
 BE THAT OF BANKHEAD.
tFrom Sundays Daily.)

The badly decomposed body of a man supposed to be Ezra D. Bank head, was found last week on the banks of the. Colorado river below Mellen, station on the Santa Fe railroad by three Chimevuevas In- dians, according to letters received in this city few days ago.
 An examination of the remains as far as it was possible, undoubtedly reveals the fate that overlook this miner, mention of which was made in the Journal-Miner several months ago when he failed to show up at Searchlight, Nevada, several weeks after he left this county ~
 Bankhead, it is believed, attempted to cross the Colorado river above the Needles, opposite his destina- ton, and was drowned. He was fine swimmer. He started alone from a point north of Chloride in Mo have county with burro, stating that he would cut across the coun- try, and reach the river in two days. On his person was found an enve- lope which gave the only probable clue to his identity, but the address was partially obliterated, the latter part of his name, head" only being legible. A small sum of money was found in a buckskin pocket book, and a few trinkets in his pockets. The deceased was a man of about 52 years of age.

HOPE ID REACH BONANZA ORE
 BODY
tFrOm Tuesdsy's Daily

NIiOH AucoudJ OaLyJ
 w. J. Martin, general manager of the Yuma-Warrior Mining Com pany, arrived from the camp in the Harqua Halas mountains on Sun day, and is decidedly optimistic over conditions prevailing from recent de- velopment in opening up that famed old gold producer He returns to- day.
 He states that the force employed is but ten miners, owing to the char acter of work being performed. De velopment is being centered to the 400 foot level, which is being clean ed out and a system of cross-cut- ting performed to reach certain ore bearing ground which in early days produced bonanza ore. In a short time sufficient exploration will be ac- complished to increase the force and to make absolute determinations. The big mill and other merchanical' utilities are in hrst-class condition, and the probability of the plant be- ing again in commission is favorable from indications prevailing.

ALLOT|NG LANDS ID INDIANS
 AT PARKER
Redskins Receive From Ten to Fifty Acres
 From Uncle Sam
(From Tuesdays Daily)

w. H. Thorpe, who returned yes terday from Parker, reports that the interesting proceeding of the gov. ernment alloting ten acres of land to each Indian on that reserve, is being carried out by an agent spec tally detailed for the purpose.
 Many of the Indians affected re- ceive but one parcel of the stipulated size but on the other hand those who have families are receiving as high as fifty acres.
 the alloting will be conducted for several days. There are many spec ulators watching the proceeding. Un- der the law authorizing this disposit- ion of the several thousand acres, the Indian cannot dispose of his holdings by sale, but has the alterna- tive of leasing his lands.
 Aside from the keen interest pre- vailing in this land transaction, MT. Thorpe states that Parker is on the eve of experiencing better times than heretofore. Three large mining com panies are sending their ores through that city, among them the Empire Arizona, which is rated as a copper bOnanZa each ear load shinned not ting S2,0O0. This property is under the management of C. w. Mitchell, and is creating more discussion as to its production and resources in an ore supply than any other mine un- dertaking in the western part of the state.

 INTO CAUSE OF WRECKS
(From Sundays Daily.)


 w. c. Geary, chairman of the Arizona Corporation Commission, is in the city after an official investi- gation of three railroad wrecks that occurred on the main line of the Santa Fe Pacific during the present month.
 MT. Geary has been engaged in taking testimony which will be plac- ed before the commission later for action as to the causes of certain deaths that occurred. Messrs. Coars- CT and Morgan, two Chicago mer- chants, travelling on freight. were killed near Flagstaff on December 10, in rear-end collision. On De- cember 18th a passenger train went into an open switch at Williams, when ex-Delegate-to-Congress Ralph Cameron was injured, as also was passenger named Evans, who reach ed this city later, with his head and face badly cut up and several bones broken. On the 10th, two linemen were run down and killed at Maine, the weather being foggy and the train under full speed when they were seen.

GETTING READY ID. MOVE DREDGER
 PLANT
Placer Beds Then to Be Worked for Their
 Gold Values
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 The moving of the big dredging plant of the old Speck company, to site on the hydraulic mines owned by the Lynx Creek Mining and Re clamation Company, begins today, quite a force of mechanics and lab orers being sent out yesterday by Ben Bishop, superintendent. Will liam Gillim, of Kansas City, prac- tical man in handling machinery, will supervise the important work of shifting the plant to point about one and one-half miles below. The apparatus is to be raised out of the stump, and placed on heavy iron trucks now being made in this city, which it will be shifted along on railroad steel to its destruction.
 Some weeks will elapse before it is placed at work on the ground it is to be used on in an experimen- tai testing of its adaptability to handle the auriferous soil. Very much interest is manifested among mining men over the outcome of this method to handle the ground, which is known to contain incalculable values in placer gold from former operations. The new syndicate has at its head, Captain H. w. Far ney, of Kansas City, who is on the ground.

GLOBE LODGE IS
 FIRST TO SEND MONEY
From Sundays Daily.)

The Elks of Arizona, that is those
 who belong to the Benevolent Pro tective Order of Elks are coming to the assistance of Governor Hunt in his proposition to get some sure enough Elks in Arizona with a great deal of enthusiasm. Already a mum Der of lodges have acted favorably upon the scheme, but 1t remained for the Globe lodge to be the first on hand with some of the very es- sential commodity that is to assist in getting the herd of eighty elks turned loose in the forests of the state to make their permanent home.
 Governor Hunt proposed to the Elks Of the state recently after he had received information that eighty elkS could be obtained from the United States government preserves for Sl6O0 that all the lodges chip in and get the herd. This he did in a letter to all the lodges Every lodge has acted but all have not re- mitted. Mulford Winsor, chairman of the Land Commission has been designated treasurer of the fund, and IS anxious that more be added to that which he already has.
 It has not been decided yet where the animals will be loosed but it is well known that there are places in Arizona where vast herds of the animals used to roam. It has been suggested however that the balance of the Fort Grant military reserva- ton be made a game preserve and the elks turned loose there.

CLIFTON PIONEER DIES IN HOSPITAL
 AT SAN DIEGO
Col N. J. Egan Taken Suddenly III At Seashore Resort and Only Lived Three Days After Being
 Stricken

On Thursday afternoon at D. m. Tn the city of San Diego, Col. M. J Egan, former Chief Counsel for the A. c. Co. Ltd, and a resident of Cliff ton for twenty-two years, died in a hospital after being confined to his bed for the short period of three days
 Col Egan left Brooklyn, N. Y, where he had been living since his departure from Clifton about a year ago, for San Diego where he had de cided to spend the summer months. He had only been in San Diego for a short period when he was stricken i'll. He failed to rally and was later re- moved to a hospital. He had the best of attention but the efforts of his physicians were unavailing and he only lived three days.
 Funeral services were held in San Diego on Friday of this week con- ducted by Silver Gate Masonic Lodge, interment being in Masonic Cemetery
 Col. Egan came to the west in the arly sos and at first made his office at LordSburg where he was attorney for the A. & N. NJ. narrow guage rail way and conducted the negotiations for the company in the matter of se- suring the railroad rightof-way from Lordsburg to Clifton. Upon the con- pletion of the road in 1882 Col. Egan lAOfcQ lO SlI1IOn ana COnJlnuoQ to rep resent the railroad company and the Arizona Copper Co. as chief counsel for twenty years, all of which time he was resident of Clifton.
 Col. Egan numbered his friends by his acquaintances. He always took an important part in every proposi- tion for the benefit of Clifton and was one of the prominent attorneys of Ari- zona. He resigned his position with the Arizona Copper Co. about year ago and retired and established 2 home in Brooklyn, N. Y From let ters received in Clifton during the winter Col. Egan complained of the severe cold in the east and said he intended shortly to go to the Pacific coast for the benefit of his health
 The announcement of the death of Col. Egan has cast a gloom over the entire community.
