 COMPLETED ON PROJECT (From Wednesdays Daily.)

Samuel Boblett, foreman of the crew performing annual assessment work for the Arizona Land and IT, rigation Company, at the projected damsite on Lynx Creek, returned to the city yesterday, and stated the service had been completed, after three months of operations.

This storage center is situated about 100 feet be- low the old Massick's dam, three miles above the crossing of the road on Lynx Creek. It is to be used as an auxiliary for the main storage dam on Willow Greek, the water being diverted to that point by means of ditch and pipe line. The company owns in that locality over 200 acres of placer land, ac- quired by purchase from several owners, title work on which was also performed.

 Ffom Wsdnssday's Daily.)

Statistics for the year in matri- monial transactions were obtained yesterday from the records oi Clerk Farley's office of the Super for Court.

CHECK STEALING
 CHARGE NOT PROVEN (FIom Wednesdays Daily.)

Deputy Sheriff Frank Burnell brought to the county jail yesterday from Seligman a Mexican named Anastacio Allaco, sentenced to serve
 60 days for carrying concealed weapons
 This Mexican is the one who was arrested last week with several hum dred dollars of time checks on his person, belonging to employees of the Santa Fe, but whose guilt could not be proven, no evidence being introduced at his examination that connected him directly with the crime. Allaco admitted, however, that a countryman stole the checks from the railroad office in Selig- man, and gave them to him, and the accused has admitted his guilt Allaco later will be tried as an ac- cessory.
 The dozen railroad men interest ed in the recovery of their time checks feel grateful to Deputy Bur nell for his shrewd work in runnin, down these offenders. In the az gregate over $500 was recovered.

LONG WAY OFF.
(From Saturday, Daily.)

(From Saturday, Daify)
 For the benefit of those democrat ic aspirants for the office of Post master of Prescott, it may be stated that the term of Postmaster Smith will not expire until June l, 1914. If the incoming administration follows the custom that has been observed, this incumbent will not be relieved until that time. There has been no deviation form this rule in the past in so far as it applies to this branch of the public service The many Democrats after the plum are not exercising that avidity to get at the pie counter that was apparent a few weeks ago in the circulating of pc titions to get in line with the pow CTS that be at Washington. Smith will probably hold on until his com reaches the date specified.

CONTINUOUS ORE
 BODY IN BILLY BOY MINE
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Ed. Block, who has returned from
 an inspection of his Billy Boy mines
 on the Hassayampa, is enthusiastic
 over the showing made in the run ming of the tunnel, stating that the
 face continues in a good milling grade of sulphide ore and that prac- tically foot for foot in depth is be- ing made as the work goes ahead.
 At the expiration of the present contract to reach 300 feet another contract will be awarded. MT. Block states that from the mouth to the face of the tunnel there has not been the slightest break in the ore body, the pay streak averaging fourteen inches and samples giving so per ton in gold. silver and cop per. At no time in the history of development was he so will pleased or confident over the possibilities of the property.
 When the tunnel reaches 300 feet, stoping begins. and with the backing of 225 feet to the surface, a large tonnage will be forthcoming for re- duction. The Billy Boy adjoins on the north the Climax, the latter coming into prominence through the large outlay of capital being ex- pended in surface improvements and deep work outlined.
 Another interesting mineralogical condition is also apparent, in the sulphide ores of the Climax and Billy Boy showing the same charac- tertistics. Mir. Block states that since the Climax has started up un- der the new order, there is notice | lble decided revival throughout hat section, and the coming year will be a very active >ne.

(From Saturdays Daily.)

N@ -ONAA O+AJ-t
 So satisfactory has been develop ment by the Humboldt Consolidated Mining Company, that the sinking of the main working shaft has been decided upon for an additional 100 feet and the placing of two shifts of miners at work, was announced yesterday by Ben Rybon, who ar rived from the camp near McCabe When completed the new shaft will have vertical depth of 250 feet.
 Dr. Bowen, the president, arrives on Monday from Pasadena, to make his usual inspection. The strike of silver ore and the coming in of the vanadium condition continue in evidence. The latter mineral has been assayed and gives returns from a three inch streak of over fifteen per cent, which is considered as higher grade and more valuable than has ever before been discovered in the country The silver vein meas ures eighteen inches in width, and from a carload treated at the Need les smelter, returns of l90 ounces to the ton were given. The group un- der development is in the same zone as the famous old Silver Belt, and has been under operation by Dr. Bowen for the past three years.

Advices were received from Wash ington yesterday that the Commis- sioner of the General Land Office would hand down his decision to- day or early in the coming week, on the appeal made by John Duke from the Phoenix Land Office decis- ion, in which he protested the Ari- zona Land and Irrigation Company receiving title to certain lands on Willow Creek for water storage pur- poses.

GLADSTONE VEIN MAKES GOOD
 SHOWING
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Arrivals yesterday from McCabe brought news of the remarkably good showing that is in evidence on the Gladstone vein being operated by John L. Davis and Frank Imo under lease, one foot of a solid ore body being developed that reaches SlOO per ton in gold
 The strike is occasioning consider able discussion among miners, and the belief prevails that the proper ty is destined to be a valuable pro- ducer. The point where the miners are working is on a parallel vein to the one operated for so many years, and is situated about 200 feet to the west. It is virgin ground, and until the leasers assumed charge had never had any development what ever
 The main shaft has reached a depth of over 30 feet, and from the surface down the vein has continu- ed to widen and the values in crease. Several small sample ship ments made to the Humboldt smelt- CT gave returns of $50 per ton in gold.

all wrapped up, which will be placed in his mail box on the road three miles from the camp. He'll get the goods on time, also, as he issued ex- plicit instructions for delivery and his faithful wife complied.
 Postmaster Smith wishes the pub lie to understand that all parcels post matter must not be sealed and that each package must be open for inspection. The parcels postage stamps must invariably be used, oth- erwise the package will not be sent out of the office. Ignorance of this rule is responsible for several pack ages being held at the office and will not be delivered under any cir cumstances. Many also infer that the local rate extends to Groom Creek and other nearby postoffices or within the limit of fifty miles, which Is erroneous. Groom Creek is in the first zone, and the postage applies accordingly. The local rate embraces only points within the in corporated limits of this city. Let ter postage cannot be used in trans hitting packages under the parcels post law.
 Matter can be insured up to the value of $50 only, but cannot be registered The first zone embraces distances of within fifty miles of any postoffice, the second zone of with in 100 miles, the third zone of 300 miles, and up to the eighth zone, which will include any point in the nation or the Island possessions of the United States, each zone hay ing a rate of postage at the pound rate.

Kid" Price, the colored whirl- wind pugilist, took the count of fiji teen days or as many dollars in the city police court yesterday, and fail ed to show up for the munipai pen alty imposed, when he was taken below by Chief of Police Heisler to begin serving his sentence.
 Price attempted to demolish the interior of restaurant back of the New State liquor house as the clock was bringing in the new year. He made a groggy attempt to square himself before Judge Robinson, and gave as an excuse for his exhibition, that the Chinaman would not desist Tn sweeping out as he was devouring his midnight meal that consisted of ten cent sandwich, saying that all patrons should be treated as gem men and not compelled to digest the sweepings from the floor.
 Price will have ample opportunity to give another istic exhibition, but the ring will be located along the Culebra cut on South Cortez street where his muscles will be kept we'll in training with the picks and shov- els that are always ready for the belligerent element.

Full of good spirits-there was no joy sap on the menu-nine of Prescott's most charming young women, representing the switch board staff of the Inter-M Mountain States Telephone Company were re- galed with a grand spread by Mine Host Ed. Shumate, at the Owl Drug and Candy Company last night.
 MT. Shumate takes delight annu- ally in assembling, in tempting array the choicest comestibles for the brave bevy who bring businessmen, boosters and gossips alike within hailing distance, though separated by miles of humming wires. It is a pretty custom and the sight at the feast made more than one male breast futter and its possessor wish he was footing the check. Nothing doing, it was a stag affair, and the absence of "claw-hammers" did not seem to vex the girls little bit.
 The feast lacked nothing but bubbles" of being a Ritz Carlton New Year banquet and was graced by the presence of Misses Mary E. Day, Madeline Day, Harriet Cope, Almaeida Johnstone, Ruby Kauf- man, Bessie Maris, Georgia Hill, Winifred Cornell and Mrs. Cox.

So far as the Prescott postoffice ! is to be considered in the large amount of business transacted in the first two days of operation of the new parcels post law, the move ment is decidedly popular
 Postmaster Smith stated yesterday that it was also proving to be at tended with many humorous con- captions of the new law and until the machinery gets to moving with a cleai understanding from the pub lie at large, the postal carrying busi- ness will be bothered with patrons attempting to send young quartz mills through the mails or to make a shipment Of livestock by that me thod.
 During the two days of the new law, much business has been trans acted. One of the amusing con signments was the sending to Hill side station Of two-pound package containing mutton chops, for min CT located nearby in the hills. Lo- cal clothes cleaners received yester- day several suits of old clothes to be put in condition for next Sunday afternoon, presumably to attend di- vine services. A bundle of washing was received from mining camp to the south of this city, which weighed within the limit of the dead mark of eleven pounds. A pair of miners hob-nailed shoes went out yesterday morning for the Copper Basin district via the Skull Valley postoffice.
