How They Must Hate 1t!

No,v it 1cds time to get back to the play

All, to escape all this rank multiplicity,
Odious, hateful, of endless publicity"
The ball player is like the actor, who

hates being patted on the back. It's a

HAD NOVEL WAY OF
 SHIPPING IN WHISKEY
(From Saturdays Daily)

A 60-gallon sheet iron barrel, made on the order of the regular Standard Oil Company barrel and containing about 50 gallons of whiskey and about five gallons of machine oil, the invention of someone trying to evadc the prohibition law, can be seen at the shcriff's office.
 The barrel IS about 3H feet high and about 2S inches in diameter. It is divided in two compartments, a small one at the top about three inches i'll depth and containing the machine oil and the other which holds the liquor taking up the rest of the barrel. A plugged opening one one side of the top of the barrel leads to the oil and q capped opening on the other side of the top of the barrel leads through the oil and to the whiskcy below.
 On one side of the barrel hole has been drilled just below the oil com pertinent and a few gallons of the whiskcy have been extracted, prob ably by the owners.
 The whiskey, labeled oil on the bill of lading, arrived at the Del Rio sid ing last Tuesday consigned to M. L. Loomis from !. T. Schaffer Of Fl Paso; Nobody came 70 get the whiskey that night, it is declared, because of the snow, but someone did come to the Del Rio siding and drill hole into the barrel and take load of booze away internally. The owners arc supposed to nave drilled the hole and in doing it and getting few drinks they aroused the attention of the train crews tac next day by leaving a strong odor of booze scattered around the barrel on the platform. A brakeman notified the shcrif's office and an investigation was started which resulted yesterday in the bring ing of the liquor to Prescott and the capture of Spaniard who would not give name
 The Spaniard was picked up at Ash Fork by Deputy Bartlett at the re- quest of Sheriff Young and on him was found the bill of lading for the barrel of supposed oil. The suspect will probably be brought to Prescott today. No sucn man as NJ. L. Loomis can be found in tine county and 1t is believed that a hcticious name was used.
 It is said that Schaffcr, if found in Fl Paso, can be prosecuted by the Federal authorities for violating the commerce commission laws in sending whiskey from Texas mark ed as oil.

BIG COLONIZING OF
 FARM LANDS TO BEGIN
(From Sundays daily.)

Prof. A. M. McOmie, for many years agricultural expert for the Ari- zona State University, has rendered kis resignation and on January 1, as sumes management of the Hassayam- pa Alfalfa Farms Co.,, near this city. by which an elaborate colonizing movement is to be inaugurated.
 Prof. McOmie is in Prescott, and yesterday confirmed reports to this effect as having been closed by his ac- ceptance of the position. He also stated arrangements had been defn' itcly closed by which the first unit of about 5000 acres of land would be developed, during the first year, and which tract would be occupied and placed in a state of high cultivation. The entire tract of 10000 acres IS to be reclaimed, and it is quite probable two additional water storage dams, enc on Lynx creek and the other On Willow creek, will receive carly con sideration, so that the plan of large land development can be carried out with an abundance of water assured for irrigating.
 The selection of Prof. McOmie Tor this important work is due to his un' questioned rating as a skilled and practical authority on farms and farming, in which field throughout the State ill recent years at different eX-- perimcntal stations his work conclu- sively proves the right man for the place mas been secured.

BIG PRODUCTION MADE FROM OLD
 MILL DUMP
FOUR CARS A WEEK OF HIGH GRADE CONCEN- TRATES OUTPUT AT. CROWN KING.
(From Tuesdays DailY.l

One carload Of zinc concentrates, recovered from the old tailings dump at the Crown King mill, and three carloads of an iron concentrate carry. ing gold and silver values, was the output last week of the Randolph Gemmill Development Co.,, in their new treating process now under ope-- ation at Grown King. The zinc pro- duct was shipped to a smelter at lola, Kansas, and the iron yield to the Consolidated at Humboldt.
 This plant is said to be running steadily and on a basis which in sures minimum production as stated above, and it is probable will be heavier in the future. There is no question now of the new process oe- ing a success, the principle of treat ment, it is said, combining the secret inventions of the owners. The dump contains approximately 10000 tons, and is being reduced daily on basis of about 200 tons.
 In mineralogical circles the two separations are occasioning very much comment, and the solving Of treatment in the future of Bradshaw ores that carry a complex mineral construction, paves the way for min ing in that big field to be attended with success. In fact the reduction feature has been the handicap to seri- ously retard development, and the lift ing of any doubt in this line, is the reason for many mines resuming and from which big strikes are being made Confidence prevails instead of uncertainty in having the product treated, and on basis of recovery of values that runs to higher than 90 per cent as against a loss heretofore of over 40 per cent in certain ores carrying d rebellious makeup. A GUS tom plant is the next movement to be by the Randolpn-Gem- mill people.

HASSAYAMPA HAS B|G PLACER
 ASSET
ENGINEER INSPECTS GER TAIN SECTIONS OF WAL NUT GROVE AND Is VERY MUCH PLEASED.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)

Richard Cline, an Oatman mine operator, has returned from an in spection trip of placers in Walnut Grove, having devoted several days to making tests of auriferous condi- tions, and is very much pleased with results, as we'll as that region gener- ally. It is quite probable that through this expert examination, certain deals will be closed.
 Mir. Cline stated yesterday at the Head hotel: There is much in the history of that placer country along the Hassayampa. As learned from old-time miners and several settlers who own ranches in Walnut Grove, certain stretches of that country not many years ago were producing gold at the rate of $20 per day to the man. I candidly believe past history will be repeated in the future and that this placer field may be regarded in the nature of big asset. l will not un- dertake to go into details of why gold is buried in the sands and gravel of the Hassayampa, or deal with the why and wherefore of its occurrence, but will say there is gold in commer cial quantities from the source to the mouth of this stream. In due time the late awakening to the great pos abilities of that field will bring in capital, and I predict that within five years the great recovery will equal the past many times over. And l also think this prediction may include the entire Yavapai field, both as to lode and placer mining"

EVENTFUL LIFE OF PIONEER CLOSES
(From Sundays Daily)

 Long before Arizona was on the map of the nation and while it was only the abode of the Apache, Patsy Rogers, who died at the Pioneers Home yesterday entered what is now known as the Verde valley to ply his vocation of hunter and trapper.
 Rogers was a member of the his torical party which included the cele. brated Kit Carson, and the intrepid pathfinder, Captain Joe Walker, of Walker expedition fame, which body later came to Prescott and blazed the way as the first American organiza- ton to set foot on Yavapai soil, in 1881.
 Mir. Rogers and his companions, secured the Verde country from cnI to end for game and were employed by the Hudson Bay Company, for this particular line of hazardous work. In recent years Rogers reviewed the efforts of the party with somewhat Of an aversion toward dealing in any thing of a spectacular character i'll facing privations as well as dangers, and brushed aside his thrilling eX- perience by simply saying: We took a long change for big money, and won out" Before serious illness ovcrcamc this pilgrim of the Hassay' ampa, he told of having arrived at Fort Mohave, on the Colorado river in 1855, with mule pack from St.. Louis. This military post was thc only white mans haven west of the Rio Grande, as far as San Bernardino and in pioneer circles it was regarded as the best halfway house on this earth"
 In later years, Rogers entered other Western fields, but over thirty-ivc years ago retraced his steps to Ari zona, still in harness and attaining a fame as without q peer in knowledge of wild beasts and as a successful hunter. Seventy years ill the open shattered rugged frame, and to add to his declining health were several wounds that undermined vigorous body. The bullet of the Indian hit is mark.
