NEW COMPANIES FOR
 TOWN OF CLARKDALE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Clarkdale comes into the limelight as a full fledged city of the future and starts off with two corporations that were organized recently, one to be known as the Upper Verde Pub lie Utilities Company and the other the Clarkdale Improvement Com pany.
 These corporations are capitalized at the sum of $250,OO each, with Will L. Clark, LeRoy Anderson and Harry R. Brown at their head. The first named outlines large line of business incidental to operating, con trolling, producing and generating electrical power for any service, to- gether with conducting a telephone, telegraph, gas works and the furn- ishing of water for irrigation and other purposes.
 The latter organization will cover that field in looking after the fin- ancial interests of firms in any line of business, maintaining in short a wide sphere of financial pursuits that a natural person might or could do. Jerome and New York City are men tioned as the principal places of business.

HIGH GRADE ORE STRUCK IN THE
 REDMAN Belief Prevails That The Ore Body Is
 Permanent
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Arrivals Thursday from the Mo Cabe section brought the important news that the Redmen's Stockholders Corporation had made noteworthy determinations in the Redman mine, which was recently revived, and there was considerable comment over what is pronounced a strike of a high class of milling ore, the value of which was not learned.
 The proposition is under the man agement of NJ. N. Andrews, and the principal packer is C. R. Shipman of New York, who was visitor to the camp a few months ago and through whose efforts this old-time property is being systematically and practical ly operated by close corporation.
 Samples of the ore brought to the city show a fine grade of arsenical sulphide, and the discovery taking place in a zone that was recently cut into, leads to the belief that the ore body is permanent.
 When active mining was started about two months ago, the old shaft that had reached depth ef about 265 feet, was continued 50 feet deep. CT. A cross-cut from the 25o-foot level was run for a distance of about eight feet, which cut into IS inche: of an ore body. This vein was fol. lowed to the south for twenty-eigh feet when the ore body widened tc 90 inches, carrying the above char acter of yield, and which leads tc thes imposition that the future 1T development may attain surprising conditions, the grade improving 1T value
 It is stated that Mir Andrews vii begin sinking at that point, and tht outlook for a producing property i: fatteFing for the near future Int initial shaft work on this mine GU through the hanging wall, but thu succeeding company inaugurated |; direct change in methods of mining which gives every indication ac cording to the strike made of prov ing a meritorious proposition.

SANTA FEE WILL ENLARGE
 SHOPS IN PRESCOTT
(From Wednesdays Daily

That Prescott has been designated as the future headquarters of the 5. F. P. & P. R. R. system and its allied lines, in the operating as well as the mechanical departments, is practical ly assured from the information giv- en publicity yesterday by Vice Presi- dent w. A. Drake, that new and commodious shops have been author ized from Chicago to be constructed in this city.
 Plans accordingly are being drawn by the engineer corps, and when all details are worked over, the eastern office of the Santa Fe will pass upon them. Yesterday a significant move was made toward beginning a pre- lirninary survey of the sites to be built upon, and it is believed that before the summer passes active con- structiou will be under headway.
 Going into details of what is con- templated in the building line, MT. Drake gave a brief resume of the dimensions of the various structures which would indicate the outlay of a very large sum of money The de- sign of the new machine shop will far exceed in capacity the present structure as well will it be built on permanent basis. This structure will have a width of 80 feet and a length of at least 200 feet. The floor is to be laid in concrete, the walls of brick and the roof of steel. In heightff it will exceed the present building.
 To tho rear will be located the en- zine and boiler rooms, and this edi- flee will be built along the same lines as the shops only of an enlarged ca pacity over the present accommodat- ions.
 Another material addition to the works will be the new engine house, which will have not less than fifteen stalls. This utility will be at least four times as large as the one now in use. The blacksmith shop is also to be in line with the progressive march, and will have a capacity that will permit of a greater range of work than the present quarters. A new oil house also comes in for con- sideration, while the master mechan- ic's office follows in the line of inn provements to be extended.
 A half dozen other buildings are to go up and the building plans cali for substantial materials, and with a deep regard for their fire proof quail ities. The location of these struc- lures lies to the northwest about 300 feet distant from the present quarters.
 Coincident with the proposed buildings to be erected, there is to be general change in the engine house and repair track system. The freight sidetracks, however, remain in their positions, but the increased service in reaching the various de- partments will be extensive over pre- vailing facilities. In short the me chanical departments are to be re- habilitated in every line. New and modern machinery will be introduced making this center one that will be capable to meet any emergency tha, may arise in the handling and re. pairing of motive power, whether from local lines or the main artery
 No estimates are given of the probable cost of construction, but that the aggregate sum will reach over S100,000 is believed from the character of the work that is con. templated.

strobe toward the defense attorney, shak-
ing his fists, saying:
II will have no one accuse me of max
ing false statement.
."If you will step over here, I'll settle
with you," he continued, motioning to-
ward the door.

POTOMAC BOAT CLUB
TO HOLD EXCURSION
Annual Affair to Defray Row.
ing Expenses Will Be Held
Tomorrow.

There is every reason to believe that
the excursion of the Potomac Boat
Club to Marshall Hall tomorrow will
be the most successful ever given
under the auspices of this popular or
ganiZation. The hundreds of young
ladies and gentlemen who have been
the recipients of SO many courtesles
and who have accepted the hospitality
of the club during the dancing sea-
son and on regatta days have decided
to show their appreciation by their
presence on the boat, and it is safe to
predict that under such conditions the
excursion tomorrow will be a great
success. Many basket parties are
being arranged, which would indicate
that large number intend to go down
on the morning boat Go o'clock) or
early in the afternoon (2:3O) and en-
joy an outing at Marshall Hall. 1t
should be borne in mind that the nu-
merous regattas held on the Potomac
river during the past ten years have
been brought to this city and have
been financed by the Potomac Boat
Club, and that from the standpoint of
large entry lists and close contests
have not been surpassed in the United
leave its wharf, foot of 7th street
promptly at 10 am. and 2:30 and $50
pm. and the Potomacs hope you will be
aboard. All the money realized from
the excursion will be used to defray
the expenses of regattas and to send
the crew to the National and Middle
States races this fall.
