The Seven Seas.

"The seven seas" is a phrase which
greets the eye on many page. Sail
ing the seven SEAS" Mistress of the
seven seas etc., are phrases so often
encountered that several scholarly
men have sought to trace the origin of
the reference. The quest seems not
to have resulted satisfactorily, and the
matter remains in dispute One of
the interesting features brought out by
the controversy is that, as employed
many centuries ago, "the seven seas"
did not include either the Atlantic or

RECORD OF SUCCESS
 BEHIND THE VULTURE
(From Saturdays Daily) (By Charles F. Willis)

Fifteen miles to the west of Wick enburg is one of the oldest mining locations in the State of Arizona. In 1863 George Wickenburg, for whom the town was named, located the prop erty called the Vulture. MT. Wick enburg and his associates mined from 1853 to 1880 on the rich oxidized ores of the surface, hauling to the Hassay ampa river for treatment. Those were days when the history of the State was being made. A thriving and prosperous camp from the start, true frontier spirit, troublesome In dians and bandits certainly kept the little band from being lonesome while they daily extracted the gold from the Vulturc ore.
 No money i'll existence ill those parts, the men were paid with weign- cd chunks of the bullion, and pur- chases were made in the same medi- um of exchange. In 1881 an S0-stamp mill was erected, all of the machinery being brought by wagon from the Colorado river, and plans were made for largely increased production, but this did not last long. The deposit pinched and fault was encountered, entirely cutting off the ore body. More or less desultory work was then done trying to find the continuation of the ore body, but with no success.
 For over 20 years the producer of long ago lay idle until a Boston cor poration with peculiarly good nose for tracing faults came along and purchased the property. Within two years the ore bodies were located, bigger and better than ever,-a new mill was constructed and since 1910 about S1OO,O0O a month in bullion has been shipped from the property, and there are many successful years to come.
 The property is small one, em- rloying only about POO men, but it is well equipped and has an ideal con ccntrating and cyaniding orc. It is like the ghost of an old mine arising after sleep of 20 years.
 The Vulture is one of the most val uable of the gold properties within the State, and has a record of success behind it that can hardly be equalled by any other.

FUND IN EXCESS OF
 THE VALUE OF THE ROAD

PHOENIX, Dec. 9-On the ground that the United Verde & Pacific Rail way Company's depreciation fund is greatly in excess of the entire value of the road the corporation commis- sion today ordered the company to cease setting aside money for this purpose.
 The commission also found that the advance ill the rate on coal from $l.5C to $2 a ton recently put in effect was illegal. The company had applied for permission to increase its rates be- cause of the removal of the smelter from Jerome to Clarkdale. Before the commission had passed on the ap- plication the company increased the rate on coal. This rate was suspend ed by the commission but the com pany again put it into effect on Sep tember 18th applying it only to inter state shipments. The commission de clares that any such distinction be tween interstate and intrastate ship ments is illegal.
 The depreciation fund of the com pany amounts to $564,459.33 while its assessed valuation as fixed by the State board of equalization is little over $35O.OOO.

RAPID PROGRESS IN
 THE SINKING OF SHAFT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Encouraging news to the stock holders in Prescott, and there are many of them, has been received from Mohave county. regarding the prog ress being made in sinking the shaft on the Wonder claim of the Jerome Oatman Company's holdings. When the property was taken over, not long since, the shaft mad reached a depth of 70 feet and on the 3rd of this month it was 125 feet, and being pushed deeper daily by the employ ment of three shifts of miners and the use of air drills. The shaft is in a fine sugarery quartz, showing small values in gold and a few ounces of silver.
 At the 1OO-foot level q cross-cut is being run across the ledge to snow the width and the last reports snow ed 13 feet of quartz and still going strong.
 The machinery is getting into fine running condition and it is expected that from 80 feet to 100 feet per month from now on will be made.

History of the Case.

Ramon Villalobos was convicted and sentenced to death for the mur- der of Deputy Sheriff Phil Brown dur ing the trouble near Ray in August, 1914.
 With another Mexican by the name of Pedro Smith, Viilalobos came to Ray one evening and after consuming large quantities of liquor the two stole a horse and made their escape up Devils canyon. Brown took up their trail and followed it as far as he could before darkness set in. He then returned to Ray and early the next morning started on the trail of the fugitives taking with him Willie Lam dry, a French boy. The two came upon Smith and Villalobos at a wood- choppers camp, where the men were eating breakfast. When Villalobos saw Brown ne snatchcd up rifle and shot him from behind a tree. After killing Brown, Smith and Villalobos killed Landry and then started to es' cape. On their way down the canyon they came upon the camp of Frank Bacon and Earl Miller, two Ray boys who were out on hunting trip. Ba- cons body was later found in the bed of the canyon. He had been shot, the body pounded with stones and hor- ribly mutilated. Miller was hung to tree and stranglcd by leather belt.
 The pursuing posse encountered the two men and in the fight that fol lowed Smith was killed. Villalobos made his escape and six weeks later was captured at Clifton. After his conviction and sentence and after the expiration of the time limit for an appeal his case was taken to the Su- preme court which declared that the appeal was entirely frivolous and dis

A special irrigation program has been arranged for January l4th. Of ficials of tine United States reclama- tion service, officers, engineers and members of the various water users associations from all over Arizona, practical irrigators, and professors from the State agricultural college will gather together to discuss the problems peculiar to irrigation under Arizona conditions.
 In reply to large number Of let CTS sent out by Prof. Smith enthusi- astic answers have been received, and it is believed that the Irrigation Con ference is going to be one of the big features Of the Farmers Short Course On Saturday noon, January Is, a special luncheon will be given by the University of Arizona to the visiting delegates to the Irrigation Conference. An interesting program is being pre- pared, which will be published in con junction with the program of the Farmers Short Course.
 Special railroad rates have been ad- vertised for the Farmers Short Course, and those who come to attend this Irrigation Conference as part of the Farmers Short Course, may take advantage of these rates.

TOLTECS GALORE ON
 ANDERSON'S PREMISES
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 Another copper-stained Toltec has been lifted out of his slumbering place of ages ago, on the premises of LeRoy Anderson, and Toltec hill goes on the map as deservedly earning this novel title of the abode of this well known Prescott attorney.
 In digging for a foundation on Tuesday afternoon this prehistoric resident came into full view. His form was perfect, and not a single bone was missing. His stature would indicate small sized human, but his mental calibre was reflected in ab- normal measurements from ear to ear that probably gave him distinct i've rating in being laid away above others who had gone before.
 MT. Anderson now believes the first Toltec dug up several months ago, was the helpmate of the one discover cd few days ago, and that she was also gifted with high social caste to be given such a distinctive burial place in overlooking those below her in rank. Aside from this personal feature of the second body being found with the two so closely mingled in death, Anderson is quite fervently wrapped up in the mineral possibilities of the formation, that again reveal the key to a copper condition through the bleached bones carrying the greenish hue in a pronounced manner. He proposes to keep on digging, and stated yesterday if the Green Mon ster Mining Company should happen to fail in the Jerome field, he will amend the location notice so that his Toltec holdings will go into the above group as offering attractive in ducements for large exploration. Otherwise he is to incorporate the Toltec Company, Limited, and take his professional shingle out of the window of his law offices.

TUNGSTEN ORES
 ARE IN GREAT DEMAND
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(frOm SaturQay DdllyJ
 The intense demand for the ores of tungsten during the past few months las stimulated much interest in pros pecting for tungsten and in the pur- chase of tungsten mines. There is, however, as yet large thrilled de- mand for properties both in the pros pecting and developed stages showing ores of tungsten of sufficient value to work.
 During the past few weeks the Ari- zona State Bureau of Mines has had inquiry from responsible purchasers in the East desiring to purchase tung- sten mines, and the bureau will be pleased to communicate the details of any tungsten properties that may be called to its attention. The main ob- ject of the bureau of mines IS 10 stim- ulate the industry within the State, and one of the best methods of stim' ulation is the creation of new working properties.
 Arizona should be ready to pick the fruit when it is ripe, and the time is now ripe for the sale of tungsten properties. Those having such prop critics for sale should communicate al once with Prof. Charles F. Willis, Di. rector, Arizona State Bureau o Mines, Tucson, Arizona.

 SUIT OUT OF COURT
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)


 A stipulation dismissing the suit of William Larkin versus Nancy Broth CTS & Company. for $15,OO0 damages was filed yesterday ill the Superior court jointly byAttorneys A. L. Ham mond and LeRoy Anderson, repre- senting plaintiff and defendant re spectively.
 Larkin in the stipulation acknowl- edges a full settlement and releases the defendant from every claim and demand growing out of the things al- legged in this action.
 Larkin filed his suit nearly two months ago asking the amount for in- juries sustained when he claims rock fell on him while he was working for the company during the construction or the Lake Watson dam. Among the allegations in his complaint, Lar kin claimed that ne could not masti- cate his food properly as result oi his injuries. The company in its an swer denied all of Larkin's allega- tions, but now apparently, has settled with him.
 What Larkin is getting for joining ill the motion for dismissal is not known nor is it mentioned in the stipulation.

YAVAPAI MINING MEN
 IN MOHAVE GOLD FIELD
(From Saturdays Daily.0

Returning yesterday from Mohave county, Guy Shultz of Hillside, gave publicity tc a new mining deal in which he, Homer King and Charles Mullen had taken over the Little Or phan group of IA claims in the Secret Pass district, and had established a camp. Development was inaugurated after geologist had made an exhaus- tive examination reporting favorably.
 MT. Shultz is quite optimistic over his holdings, stating that other mines ill that field are making wonderful showing at practically the grass roots. Some of the claims had been owned for a long time, and those to fill in the group were taken over under a bond, with a cash payment made. Future development is to be conduct ed on a basis of company manage ment and without any stock being placed on the market. Sinking IS to go ahead, with small force and later machinery will be introduced.
 Mir. Shultz speaks of the interest manifested over the bonanza belt as continuing, and the coming in of other gold producers beside Tom Reed and United Eastern was report ed. "The country is lively, and vast amount of exploration capital shows the interest prevailing, in a majority of cases by men of practical ability" he said.
