The thought that such a program

MARATHON MILL
READY TO START

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec 16.-The
new. Marathon mill of the Saratoga
Mining company, which will treat the
ores on the big dump of the old
Crown King mine, is all ready to be-
gin operations, and within few
days will be handling $50 tons of ore
daily. There are several hundred
thousand tons on the Crown King
dump, the result of fifteen years de-
velopment work, and which had al
ways been considered of too low
grade to permit of being handled by
the stamp mill. Shipping of con-
centrates from the Marathon mill
starts next week.
Active development work will be
started in the Saratoga mine at an
early date. The main shaft which,
under the old management, reached
a depth of 200 feet, will be sunk to
the 600-ft. level, and a system of
general exploration, has been decided
upon.

PHOENIX PLANS FOR
MUCH MORE PAVING

PHOENIX Ariz., Dec. 16.-Resolu-
tions of intention to pave portions of
eleven of the business and residence
streets of Phoenix will be considered
by the city commission at the next
regular meeting. The amount of
paving contemplated amounts to ap-
proximately 10000 square yards, and
includes East and West Washington
street, which will give the city a
beautiful boulevard to the state cap
itol.
The choice of the kind of pave
ment to be laid will be made by the
people or the city commission. If
the residents affected do not make a
choice by majority petition, then
the commission is authorized, under
the. state law, to make the selection.
The resolutions of intention will give
the property holders the opportunity
to select any one of nine different
kinds of paving, including NATIONAL;
Tarvia; bitulithic with a concrete
base; A. c. bitulithic; bftulithic with
gravel base; bitustone; Topeka Spe-
cifications with concrete base; To-
peka specifications with A. c. base

W|CKt NBURG SHARES
IN PR0SPt tRIIY OF
ARlzONA'S MINES

WICKENBURG, Ariz., Dec. 16.-
| Wiekenburg is participating in the
mining prosperity that pervades Arl-
zona. The town and surrounding dis
tricts are thronged with prospectors
and investors. Like Oatman, the
town is short on hotel accommoda-
tions. A number of mines that have
been idle number of years are now
being developed and several have en-
tered the producing class Many i'm
portant deals are pending
A new 100-ton mill at the old Gri-
java mine. 10 miles north of Wicken-
burg on the Hassayampa river, was
started up last week and it is turn
ing out gold bullion at a gratifying
rate. Enough ore is in sight to keep
the mill operating many months, and
development work is constantly open
ing new reserves. The Grijava has
been worked at intervals for num-
Der of years. but it was not until the
present company took hold of it that
it was developed in a proper man
ner. The company is known as the
Grijava Nueva Mining company and
is made up of eastern investors.
Reports were recently circulated
that the Vulture, the oldest mine in
Arizona, has closed down for good
This was mistake. The new ore
shoot uncovered about two years ago
faulted and the crushing department
of the mill was closed down for a
few days, till the ore was picked up
again. During that time, however.
great quantities of tailings were
cyanided The Boston capitalists who
own the Vulture seem entirely salts
contemplate any permanent suspen-
sion operations, as it has been a
steady dividend payer since the new
mill went into commission.
Heavy machinery has been installed
at the Osborne Copper mine, near the
Vulture, and shaft is to be put down
1000 feet. 1t is owned by the Fur
Tough Development company. The
ore carries gold as well as copper.
Work is also being done on the
Manganese mines, which lie west of
ore have been made to steel manu-
facturers in the east.

HUMBOLDT FURNACES
GOING FULL BLAST

HUMBOLDT, Ariz, Dec 16.-Six
hundred and fifty tons of ore are be-
ing treated daily at the HUMBOLDT
plant of the Consolidated Arizona
Smelling company since the new, re-
verberatory has blown in. At the
present time the pay roll of the com
pany shows $50 employees, which
number will be increased in the near
future.
One of the most important discov-
cries made in the district is that
made in the Blue Bell mine, where
what is believed to be the largest
body of ore in the history of the
property has. been found on the 800
TT. level. The percentage of copper
carried is also very gratifying.
Steady resumption of heavy pro
duction by the De Soto mine is now
assured, and it is estimated that the
December output will be close to
1000 tons. This VIII be increased
with the. adoption of better train
service from the district.

HUNT TO BUILD
WINTER RESIDENCE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 16.-Ground
will be broken within week for
handsome winter residence for Gov
George w. P. Hunt, who has recent
ly purchased a five-acre tract at
Park and Mcdowell roads, about a
mile northeast Of Phoenix. The gov
ernor's new home will adjoin that of
Mrs. Hunts parents, who recently
bought a residence on a six-acre
tract, and it is probable that the
governor, Mrs. Hunt and their daugh-
ter will make Phoenix their perma
nent home.
Since he took office, almost four
years ago, the governor has made his
home at a downtown hotel
Provision will be made in the new
residence for the governors collec-
ton of pictures and his library, which
is one of the largest in the state.
He has decided that he will give his
collection of Apache baskets to the
state university museum

BELIEVE HALL WAS
ROBBED AND MURDERED

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 16. = That
Harry Hail. who was found dead a
week ago on the Nogales line of the
Southern Pacific was robbed and
murdered is the theory officials are
now working on to explain his sud-
den death. Halls body was struck
by train, while he was lying on the
track, and it was first believed that
he had gone to sleep on the track.
Later Investigations disclosed the
fact that when he left home he had
over 5000 in cash, but when the body
was found his purse was entirely
empty AS Hall kept diary of his
walking trip from California and no
mention is made of hunger or at
tempts to obtain food, it is now be-
lieved that he met with foul play.
A liberal reward has been offered by
his brother for any information as
to the way in which Hall was killed.

To MAKE CHEWING
GUM FROM OCOT|LlA

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 16. = Com
vinced that chewing gum of fine
quality can be made from the oco-
tilla cactus. Salt Lake capitalists are
preparing to establish a factory at
Goldfield, forty miles east of here, to
extract the gum from the plant, and
another factory in -this city to turn
out the finished product. The new
company, which is known as The
Cactus Rubber Gum company" has
just been Incorporated with cap
italization >of $5,060,0OO.
Over a million acres of land in
Texas have been acquired by the new
concern. which will proceed to har-
vest the ocotilla plant on it's i'm
mense holdings. In addition to the
Texas cactus farm, it is estimated
that from ton to ton and a half
of gum can be produced daily from
the cactus plants which grow on the
desert around Goldfield. The COM
pany has begun negotiations with
the United States government through
the local land office. for the privilege
of gathering the ocotilla plants on
desert lands, and claims to have per-
fected a system for the extraction of
the gum. Three million tons of gum,
the Salt Lake men believe, exist in
Arizona, to say nothing of vast tracts
in Mexico. These, it is believed, will
eventually be worked under lease
from the Mexican government.
In addition to chewing gum, the
company plans to manufacture wax
and rosin product from the ocotilla.
The cactus plant, it is stated, has
been proven to yield a ten per cent
value in gum, which also makes a
desirable rubber substitute. o. P.
Brown of Salt Lake City is presi-
dent and general manager of the
company.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS
BREAK ALL RECORDS

TUCSON, Dec. 16.-That the cattle
shipments from Arizona during the
past season were the greatest in the
history of the state, was the. state
ment of A. G. Bass, travelling repre-
sentative of the Union stockyards at
Ell Paso, who was here recently.
Mr.. Bass says this was partly due to
the heavy shipments from Sonora into
Arizona and thence =. to other places
early in the season before the quaran-
tine went into effect, but was due in
a greater measure to the poor con-
dition of the Arizona range, which
was worse the past season than in
many years.
The present season is now prac-
tically at an end and few cattle will
be shipped until the spring. Mr..
Bass says that during the past sea-
son the Union stockyards handled
100000 head of cattle, most of which
were shipped to other states where
the range is better. Most Of these
cattle came from Arizona, New Mex
leo and West Texas, and Santa Cruz,
shippers in this state. Two hundred
thousand head by no means repre-
sents the total shipments made
through FL Paso, as there are other
stockyards there. though the Union
yards handle about 60 per cent Of
the business.
During the past two months the
Union yards have handled 10000
head of sheep from chihuahua, which
seems to contradict the report that
Chihuahua was denuded of stock
several months ago.
Mr.. Bass while here met K. H
Cassab, of San Francisco, who has a
contract with, the allies of Europe
for the delivery of 10000 head of
horses and 100000 sheep. He had a,
large part of the shipment collected
on a small island in Lower California
he said, but was prevented by the
Mexican officials from shipping the
stock. At present he is buying horses
and sheep in Arizona, Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico to make up the ship
ment. The stock will be collected in
Ell Paso and from there shipped to
Galveston and New Orleans for ship
ment by boats to Europe.

kIkGMAN SWAMPEO
WITH BUSINESS FOR
.OATMAh CAMPS

KINGMAN, Ariz Dec, 16.-In spite
of the fact that an army of trucks
and teams is working overtime to re-
1ieve the congestion at the local
freight depot, huge mountains of
freight continue to accumulate in the
railroad warehouses and on the un-
loading platforms. Nineteen big auto
trucks, and scores of teams have been
employed for weeks in hauling sup
plies and machinery to Oatman, but
as yet they have been unable to make
any inroads in the great piles at the
local freight depot.
All records for receipts were broken
last Sunday when seventy five loaded
cars billed to Kingman were re-
ceived. Arrivals since have greatly
added to the congestion, and every
available team and vehicle in King
man is being pressed into service to
handle the increased business. Mer-
chants report that they are swamped
with orders, and every line of activ-
ity is taxed to it's capacity Freight
office receipts have doubled and
trebled since the rush set in, while
express receipts amount to $1,000 a
day. Ticket sales average the same
amount, and are continually increas-
ing.

PRESCOTT, Ariz.. Dec. 16.-Daily
train service from Prescott to Crown
King will be inaugurated Dec. 20,
according to an announcement made
by officials of the S. F. P. and p.
Railway company. The decision to
increase train service was reached
because of the large shipments of ore
from the mines in the Bradshaw
Mountain district The Blue BELL and
De Soto mines alone have guaran-
teed a daily minimum of $50 tons.
This is the first time in history that
daily train service has been main
tanned to Crown King. The train
will leave Prescott every morning at
S:G0-o,clock, returning at $3.50 P. M

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 16-Range-
men are elated over the early and
heavy snowfall which was general
this week over all sections of va
vapai county. On the rim of the
Verde Range the snow is two feet
deep, and almost the same amount
fell on the Lynx Creek Range and at
Crown King. The snow was so
heavy that power service on the lines
of the Arizona Power company was
interrupted for several hours and
train service partially delayed. Five
mills, which have been held up await
ing water supply, will now be able to
commence operation. The snowfall
extended as far south as Kirkland.
