FLOTATION PLANT FOR
 GOLCONDA ZINC MINE

The Union Basin Mining Company, owner Of the greatest zinc mine in the Southwest, is soon to have a great Notation plant at the mine. This plant is designed to handle about 200 tons of ore daily, and will be in com mission not later than the first Of next January. For months past the company has been trying out the flo tation process, and We understand that all tests have been successful.
 While great stress has been laid by the newspapers on the output of the Gold Road and Tom Reed, and the great possibilities of the United East ern, the Golconda has been quietly , outputting an immense tonnage of the richest and most ideal zinc ore to be found anywhere in the United States. The mining company has great es- tate situated in Union and Todd basins, and every acre of it is ore bearing. In breaking down the ore in the stopes a larger amount goes into the stope than goes to the sur face, and at the same time immense blocks of lower grade ores are left for future -stoping. All this will be run through the mill, the stopes being drawn gradually until all mill dirt has been taken out.
 By installing the mill the company will be in position to handle every pound of ore that can be broken down in the mine and dress it up to high grade shipping product. With thou sands of tons available at the present time, and with the large amount of new ground being opened the mill will have ore enough to keep it pounding away for many months without the breaking of new ore in the stopes. Being situated within few miles of the railroad, the Golconda mine can lay its product down at the sta ton at low cost. Trucks are used to transport the ore from the mine, three shifts being operated on each truck. In this way large daily ton mage may be handled. The price ob- tained for the zinc from this mine is flat rate of 12 cents per pound, something less than the market, but a splendid price when it is understood that it is tbe price agreed upon for the entire product of the property un' til the first of January, l9l6. The big mill is estimated to cost $100,000, and will be modern in every particu- lar, the present plant being super seded by it. From the mine to the mill everything will be handled auto matically, reducing the costs to minimum.-Kingman Miner.

MINE ACTIVITY RE
 ELECTED BY SHIPPING
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 Three mines on Slate creek, and within stones throw of each other, the Lookout, Davis and Dunkirk, are now in the producing class, and start ed freighting ores to this city yes terday, for rail shipment to Hayden shelters. R. NJ. HansoB 1as the delivery contract.
 Sacked on the dump of the Look out are two carloads, or over lOO tons, the Davis has ready one car load, and the Dunkirk one carload. The latter Is also running day and night its mill, and the shipments to be made are of ore of the firSt-class. At the rate of production now under way at the three camps the present freighting out facilities will be made quate to handle the tonnage accumu- lating. Such a period of activity and heavy production has never been known in that field of congested mines, and is due to practical effort mainly on the part of leasers.
 Joseph Caspari, who with Eric Bloom, is operating the Davis under lease, stated yesterday the lower levels carry a better and bigger grade of gold ore than ever before deter mined, and general conditions under ground were gratifying.
 Slate creek, he believes, is amosg the most resourceful of mineral de posits in the county, and leads all other districts in number of mines that are making good by actual ship ments Other properties in that belt are also preparing to operate, and this fall and winter promise to be active as well as prosperous to those engaged.

BIG CATTLE DEAL
 TAKES PLACE IN KINGMAN
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 One of the largest cattle deals tha' has taken place in Northern Arizon; in many months was consummated 1T Kingman this week, T. E. Pollock, o. the Arizona Central Bank, and Ivar L. Neal, a local cattleman, taking owe, the cattle and ranch interests of o A. Eshom in the Viccars ranch, |; miles east of Yucca, paying $57,O0i therefor.
 The ranch is one of the best in the county, being well watered and grassed. It. being a considerable dis tance from any other ranch makes it ideal for the home ranch. Water was carried in from the mountains to the ranch, and many large water sources were opened up by MT Eshom, giving his herds wide range During the summer months the cat tie are ranged through the mountains, where the finest grasses may be had. Over the mountain range water is to be had everywhere, enabling cattle to feed all over without having to go long distances to water.
 Mir Pollock is one of the largest cattle raisers in the State, and Mir. Neal is one of the best-known cattle men of the county, having been raised here and engaging in the cattle busi- ness from early childhood. Mr. Esh- om by his own efforts built up his magnificent ranch and range, bring ing in the best blooded animals to breed from and securing one of the best improved herds in the State.- Kingman Miner.

NELSON SHOWING HAS
 BONANZA EARMARKS
(From Fridays Daily.)

"In the many years l have been engaged in mining, l have never seen anything to compare with the show ing today in evidence at the Nelson in the Bradshaws; furthermore, min ing engineers, who are on the ground making an inspection or the different workings, openly express themselves as very much pleased with the prop ertv. and likewise coincide with the general views of miners, that the re- cent discovery is without parallel in gold mining in this field, in prov ing a property of immense productive ability for years to come
 This was the manner in which Ed. Block expressed himself yesterday after returning from Crown King, where he had been looking after his interests at the Fairview. Further more. MT. Block stated, the proper tv was open to all for inspection, and this courtesy was freely extended by Manager Geo. P. Harrington, SO that reports in circulation could be sub stantiated of the attractive conditions prevailing underground.
 Mir. Block said further: The tun- mel. where the important determina- tions were made, has two-foot solid ore body in the face 2,750 feet in, and samples taken gave valuation of S60 to the ton, in gold, copper and sil- yer. The assay was made at the United States mint in Philadelphia, and is absolute The upper shaft, where initial development took place, has reached a depth of 250 feet, and with the second tunnel on what IS known as the 60O-foot level, all three workings show the same mineral char acteristics. In short, the Nelson to- day is now proven 70 carry a con tinuous ore shoot for length of tul-
 " 1,2OO feet, and from the face Of the lower tunnel to the bottom of the shaft on the mountain, 800 feet in tervene of a probable ore body as yet untouched. On account of the length of the shoot, the great depth given and the high grade values, this proposition is of exceptional rating. The lower tunnel is to be driven fur ther, and Is now nearing point un- der the shaft at still greater depth, and with the ore body widening"
 MT. Harrington is to begin ship ping at once. The Bradshaw Noun tain railroad is constructing a load ing shed at Crown King, and the electric railroad of the Nelson Com pany to the mine, about one mile up .he mountain, starts running at once to haul its first ore to the market.

DOUBLE PRODUCT FROM
 THE OLD CASH MINE
(Fronl Wednesdays Daily)

y
 The Cash mine, near Senator, is making a creditable showing, and the second mill cleanup would indicate successfully operated property. The second shipment of over $2,0O0 in concentrates reached this city yes terday and goes to Fl Paso smelters through the local agency of R. H. Hetherington. A few days ago bar of gold bullion was the product of the last mill run of less than 10 days, valued at $1,8O0
 In the aggregate during the past month the bullion yield will reach to $3,OO0, and the concentrates to $3,- 500. This showing is excellent when it is taken into consideration that the strippings from the upper tun- mel was the source of the ore supply. N. H. Getchell, who Is operating this mine, stated yesterday that produc- ton from the tunnel will end before October 1. when the lower levels will be reached, where large ore bodies will afford better grade. de- veloped under a former management. A continuous mill run and steady pro- duetion from the mine are now as- sured for the coming winter.

IMPORTANT DEAL
 af REVIVES OLD DISTRICT
(From Thursdays Daily.1


 An important movement affecting the future of the McCabe field is in process of being closed up by the in cooperating of the Great Southern Mining Company, which is to begin operations immediately on the Wood row group of seven gold mines. To day it is believed all arrangements will be closed to organize, repre- sentative of the new syndicate afriv- ing a few days ago from Kentucky to arrange for the transfer of the properties and consider minor mat ters incidental thereto.
 The property affected in this deal is more familiarly known as the Morn ing Star, the original name given it many years ago, when gold mining in that field was very active. All ground lying between the Gladstone and the McCabe, on the north, and the Henrietta and the Gopher, patent ed, on the south, is taken over by purchase and location. James E. O'Brien and Bejamin Rybon are clos ing the deals for their interests in certain zones of that area, in which the consideration, it is stated, will be for quite sum. The plans outlined by the new operators call for immed- fate exploration.

CHAMPION PLANS CALL
 FOR BIG OUTLAY
(Fron Wednesdays Dailv.0

(from w Wednesday Dally.)
 Since the deal for the Champion gold mines has been closed cable grams received in Prescott from Lon- don, England, would indicate a per iod of early activity as decided upon by the English syndicate, which now owns the group.
 Their representative is to arrive in a short time, and the first move will be to build new wagon road of about a mile in length from the Crook can yon side 10 the mines. The inten- ton is to rush and complete work before winter snows occur, and in the meantime miners are to begin stoping, where it is stated several thousand tons of ore are ready for breaking down.
 The foreign operators, who enter this field are widely known in their country as successful gold miners in South Africa. British Columbia, and in the United States. To add addition al interest to the Champion deal, it is reliably reported the consulting en- gineer Of the purchasers has recom- mended a second deal to be closed up in this locality for a certain gold group, and it is quite probable this transaction will mature before the first of the year. A mill for the Champion will be installed immediate ly after production begins and camp is built.

BELIEVED JUDGE
 SANFORD HAS SUICIDED
(From Fridays Daily.)

Judge E. M Sanford, who for many years was a prominently known at torney-at-law in Prescott, it IS be- lieved, is dead by the act of his own hand
 Limitations that he has gone the way of a suicide are given in an As sociated Press dispatch from East Orange. N. J. His wife. who en- tertains this belief, says in an in terview: 'Last Friday my husband ran out of the home with razor in his hand, wildly saying that he would end it all. Because of my crippled condition I was unable to stop him."
 Mrs. Sanford, according to state ments made by the police, had been without food or sleep for four days and nights, and was in pitiable con dition of exhaustion waiting for her husband to return. The scrubby coun- try for miles around was searched, but no trace of the missing man could be found. He is understood to have suffered heavy financial reverses re- gently, and it is presumed he has de stroyed himself.
 Judge Sanford practiced law in Prescott for over Is years, and was quite heavily interested in mining. He operated the Century group near Senator, and later went into the Con- stellation field, visiting that property recently.

 CARTMELL ARE FREED
(Frorn Thursdays Daily.l

NIlOlA l 1llul SNdy OdllJsI
 After one of the longest and hot test debates ever known in the history of local juries, the 12 men in the Belle Cartmell and w. F. Collier case returned verdict at 1O:3O last night freeing both of the defendants and exonerating them from the charge of desk stealing.
 E. w. Ramsey, the negro on the jury, who had been selected to act as foreman by the other II men, read the verdict in the mellow negro brogue, while Mrs. Cartmell who had entered the court room a few min utes before continued to carry the smile that had adorned her face all through the five days of the trial
 Once before had the jury entered the court room yesterday, and that was in the morning about II o'clock when they asked to be taken before Judge Smith When seated in theii chairs and asked as to whether they had arrived at a verdict, Ramsey, the foreman. replied: Judge, your honor, the jury agree that they can not agree" The 12 men were then instructed once more by Judge Smith aud retired to the room that had seen much heated argument the night be fore.
 When the jury entered the room reserved for them in the county jail on Tuesday night they took ballot without speaking of the case and it resulted in a vote of six to six. A short time later, after the case had been argued, the jury still stood six to six. Many different questions that had arose during the trial of tho case were voted on besides the one al issue and the l2 men were never unanimous on any of the ballots. Al oae time the question of freeing Belle Cartmell and convicting w. F. Col Tier came up, but no decision that would be effective could be reached.
 After about half a dozen bal lots had been taken on the question on Monday night the debating waxed hot and the arguments nearly result ed in fist fights. One of the jury men said last night that more argu- ment on the case took place in the jury room during two hours than during the whole trial of the case by the attorneys. Proof of the heat ed argument IS given by the fact tha persons walking on the opposite side of Montezuma street Monday night could easily hear the debate, which lasted until 2 o'clock Tuesday morn ing, although the words could not be distinguished.
 Yesterday morning the arguments had toned down, and nothing was heard that would indicate that jury was fighting over the fate Of the two people. Many ballots were taken. but each resulted in disagreements un- til last night, just before the jury had expected to retire, or at GAS o'clock, ballot was taken and it was unanimously agreed that the defen- dants were innocent.

CHINK AND 72 QUARTS
 OF GIN CAPTURED
(From Thursdays Dai1y.)

NTIOH NuIS0dy ldllS.)
 Another alleged bootlegger has been caught in the net spread by Sheriff Joe Young in lSs crusade against violators of the prohibition amendment, which went into effect the first of the year. Dong Wah, a Chinaman, is the latest man to be arrested and he is charged not only with selling liquor, but with having | it shipped into the State.
 Wah was arrested early yesterday evening by Sheriff Young and Depu- ty Bozarth, who made a raid on his place, which is on the corner of Granite and Goodwin streets, and car ried away four boxes of Chinese gin, each containing IS quart bottles, or catch of 72 bottles of perfectly good fire-Water, of which one whiff would be enough to satisfy anybody. An other box, which was found to con tain a dozen and half bottles of Chinese sauce, was left unmolested. All five of the boxes are marked sauce" on the outside.
 It had been known by the sheriff's office that Wah had been selling Chinese gin and whiskey for some time, but because of his seemingly unfailing supply they desired to dis cover from where it came. On last Tuesday it was noticed that five boxes marked sauce arrived from San Fran cisco at the local Wells Fargo office for Wah. He was allowed to have the sauce delivered, and 1t was not until last night that Sheriff Young decided to make certain what the boxes contained.
 Wan runs a grocery store, and has warehouse in back of it. Young asked Wah if he could make search through the warehouse and Wan re- piled that another man who lived there had the key. With skeleton key Young entered the building and there found the five boxes marked sauce. The Chmaman became ex- cited and said that they contained nothing but sauce. Young and Bo- garth opened every box and found that all except the one contained Chinese gin. The four boxes were taken up to the sheriff's office and are now in a cell behind the bars, to be held as evidence.
 On examination of Wah's storage room and lot, about 40 empty boxes all marked sauce were found, and 1t is supposed that all, or at least the greater part of them must have con tained either Chinese gin or whiskey. At that rate Wah would have re- ceived 720 quart bottles since the first of the year, as the boxes all appear to be new.
 The sheriff's office has had men purchase liquor at Wah's place and this evidence will also be used against him. He was released last night on furnishing a $1OO bond for his ap- pearance this morning before Jus tice McLane to face the charge.
