CLOSE BIG DEAL
 FOR OLD MINES
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

W Ddlt.J J
 What is unquestionably one of the biggest and most important mining deals closed in this field in many years was that announced yester- day. whereby the Henrietta. the Me Cabe and Gladstone groups are to be merged into one solid block, un- der the ownership of the Copper Gold Consolidated. new syndicate organized but a short time ago, and in which English capital is heavily interested.
 Negotiations had been under head way for several months, but the hnal specialization of plans came only a few days ago.
 Lon D. Hall. the Arizona repre- sentative of the Consolidated gave an interesting interview yesterday oi the plans to be followed, mentioning the more important as follows: The Henrietta group will pass into a con- dition of immediate exploration on a large plan. The driving of cross cut from the lower tunnel of lOZ feet to intersect the Henrietta vein IS to go ahead. Sinking also begins from the upper tunnel to depth Of 4OO feet to connect for air as well as for developing. A shoot of good ore IS exposed at this point where mill ing ore was taken in early days Farther back in the old tunnel, de- velopment has started, and the mill Is now running on ore from that zone.
 The Gladstone and McCabe hold Ia fbp coming two months. when sampling begins to ascertain absolute values. The Gladstone shaft has a depth oi HOO feet. while the McCabe shaft IS 1000 feet deep. The values recover ed in early days from these mines were not as closely saved as modern machinery can accomplish, on ac- count of the complex character of the output.
 The closing Of this big deal is far reaching. It restores the Henrietta to a condition that it has not en- joyed in many years, as a practical proposition, warranting large invest ment from former production given and indications at present prevail ing.
 EllSO lAC SdlliN may bN oeAAN Ol e'-N Gladstone and McCabe both of which were heavy producers of gold until litigation and internal troubles fol- lowed.
 The belt also is deserving of men, ton, and it is the belief of mining men the Assure is well defined that embraces the three above named properties from the Big Bug side of the range to the Chaparral section on the north. within a distance of about one-half mile of each other.
 Mir. Hall states. also, that the Hen rietta was purchased from the old Braganza Company, while the form CT ownership of the Gladstone and McCabe was vested in the Model Mining Company. This big mining movement means that the old and abandoned town of McCabe, will soon be teeming with life. as well will the field adjacent be strengthen ed by many other mines resuming, as is under consideration. The consid- cration in this deal was not given publicity but ranges into the largest sum known in very many years in this field.

 COLLECTIONS DUE STATE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 From the tax collections flor De cember something lige Sl75.OO0 will have to be sent to the state treasur- CT as state taxes. The treasurer has the habit of keeping all monies col lected in his charge up to the last minute, thus saving to the county every cent of interest that is possi ble. notwithstanding the urgent re- quests of the state treasurer for him to do his state shopping early. It is the opinion at the treasurer's office that most all the delinquent taxes will be collected this year with but little trouble.

His prominence as a democratic politician, and his past association. as a leader of his party. when he was factor in the framing of the constitution of the state. and his selection as the presi- dent of the first. state senate, gave him a conspicuous position in public circles. He came to this section about ten years ago, and was asso- ciated with his brother, Bernard Cunniff, in operating the Savoy mines two miles to the south of Crown King, where he made his home.
 He was a graduate of Harvard, and afterward took a post graduate course in that institution, when he was chosen as an instructor. Later he was a professor in the University of Wisconsin, when he abandoned further duties in that profession. re- moving to New York City, where he was one of the editors of Worlds Work.

Parker, a can didate for the presidency on the Democratic ticket His journalistic career was brief, and he came to Prescott to study mineralogy. select ing the above camp.

FLAT-WHEELED CARS

There are ever so many things
about transportation and rail
reading that we do not know,
and amo: g them is why trolley
cars in this town, especially on
the upper Broadway line, run
with the brakes on practically all
the time.
In our ignorance of transpor-
tation and railroading we sup
pose it is just on account of the
motorman laziness. 1t is lot
of trouble, we suppose, to take
the brakes off between stops.
But the wear and tear on the
car-wheels must be terrific. That
is the appeal we make to the
company that runs these cars.
We assur-o., they care nothing for
the nerves Of the residents of the
district through which these cars
lass, nor for the sensibilities of
all who must hear the terrible
scraping. Our appeal is wholly
to the pocketbook of the COM
pany.
