ARTISAN WATER
 PROBABLE ON HALL FARM
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 W. T. Hall confirms reports of the developing of large supply of water in well on his ranch about one mile west of the Del Rio pumping station, and furthermore stated yesterday there is but little doubt of an artesian belt being determined, which fact will be verified in a short time.
 A large pump, throwing over lOO gallons per minute, was unable to lower the flow below ten feet of the surface, and from this condition MT. Hall is optimistic over all artesian channel being penetrated. The water rises to within three feet of the sur face of the l7S-foot deeD well, and at depth of only ten feet a channel is carrying away large stream. It is his intention to sink to that depth and shut off this opening by building a cement wall therein. The well is to be cascd also, when it is expected water will be flowing on the surface. This water strike has created con siderable comment among dry farm CTS in that region and other wells are to be sunk at once. Those conversant with artcsian conditions state there is no doubt but what Halls we'll has solved an important problem for that locality.

SCIENCE SOLVES ORE
 REDUCTION PROBLEM
(From Thursdays Dai!y.l

NA tOAAA AAtAA SOoJ . ---JL
 Two vital propositions affecting the Bradshaw mountain minine field were given publicity yesterday-the estab- fishing of an ore custom plant at Crown King immediately by the R d o ph-G m mill Development Company, and the extending of the electrical service of tne Arizona Pow CT Company into many camps near Crown King.
 Speaking of the custom plant move ment, F. s. Viele and LeRoy Ander- son, stockholders in the Randolph Gemmill syndicate, gave reasons why this industrial factor was warranted. Mr. Viele said:
 Our reduction company is now running in full blast three shifts every twenty-four hours, in treating the tailings dump of the old Crown King mill. While it is true water was the problem to solve, and proved em- barassing for some weeks, this ob- stacle has been overcome by a three mile long pipe line being laid to the old Tiger mine, from which source the supply is abundant, and flows on a gravity basis. A 100000 gallon tank is being built at the works. to be used in case of emergency. But to get down to facts to support what is out lined and what is being accomplished in that wonderful mineral field of Yavapai-the process of treating the tailings dump estimated at over O,- CNN0 ,c haHynrH avnnrfa- tions. Fully 100 tons per day are be- ing reduced to a concentrate product, of unusually high grade, and the eN- Derimental tests of the special pro cess installed by Messrs Randolph and Gemmill have solved a reduction problem for Bradshaw mines that is a notable achievement in mineralogy. One feature of separation may be mentioned, that of the recovery of zinc values in an independent state from that of other minerals that range n excess of 40 per cent product. In this line of scientific reduction may also be mentioned this import ant fact, two carloads of iron con centrates have been marketed at Humboldt recently. and it is now the purpose to ship out from two to three cars per week. This heavy output is assured beyond any question. MT. Gemmill informed me at the works a few days ago, that it was his opinion, based on what the firms experimental test runs had already proven, that their process would not only revolu- tionize the treatment of complex ores of the Bradshaws, but that ac- tive mining would be stimulated as had never been known. These were the essential reasons piven for estab- fishing a custom service, and which undertaking was warranted by the productive ability of mines being but an incidental matter to consider"
 Messrs Viele and Anderson stated they were surprised in seeing so much activity in evidence at Crown King, md since the second strike on the Nelson of only a few days ago, the country again is keenly appreciative of it's wonderful future.

BIG EXPLORATION ON
 MONTEZUMA CONTINUES
(From Friday's Daily.)

That the Montezuma Mining Com pany of the Bradshaws proposes to carry out very large fine of explora- ton, before shipping or milling be- gins, was given out by ]. P. Waldron, the president. while in Prescott dur ing the week. The sixth contract for certain development will soon be let.
 The latest move is to run 2OO-foot deep crosscut on the Tower lead and in the meantime Bear development will be suspended. Mir. Waldron stated that sufficient exploration has been given tine latter claim to fully establish its splendid mineral possi- bilities. in five tunnel contracts being performed in recent years, and several small shipments made for testing val ucs as well as providing system ot treatment
 He also stated that former plans Of the Montezuma 10 erect a mill have been abandoned, since oil Notation Is now universally adopted, and a new system of crushing is superseding the old stamp process. Conditions in the Bradsnaws have undergone an entire change in recent months, he says, and in addition to many old mines prov ing attractive as depth is reached, he specifically mentioned two factors as bringing that region into the rating it now enjoys-the solving of orc treatment by the Randolph & Gem nell Development Co.,, and the won dcrful showing made on the Nelson. They have not commenced to find ore in the Bradshaws and I look for some remarkable doings the coming year."

DR. RILEY SERUM BADLY
 INJURED IN ACCIDENT
(From Wednesday's Daily)


 pr. Riley Snrum of Jerome was se- verely injured and narrowly escaped death when his roadster skidded on the Cherry creek highway five miles past Cherry yesterday and turned turtle, going over the grade and hurt ling down the mountainside for a dis tance of over sixty feet.
 pr. Shrum is now in the Mercy hospital suffering from compound fracture of the left leg just above the ankle, a dislocated thumb and frac- tured left rib He was brought to Prescott bv E. J. Flumerfelt of ye- rome and Frank R. Field and MT. Avery. two travelling men, all of whom say that the courage he displayed in the 38-mile ride from the scene of the accident to this city was wonderful.
 Dr. Shrum started on his way to Jerome yesterday morning from Pres colt and was about five miles the other side of Cherry on the down grade when the accident, which near lv resulted in his death, occurred. He had just rounded a curve when his car started to skid and before ne could straighten it, 1t had plunged over the grade. The physician was unconscious for but short period after which he started calling for help. He believes that he went over the grade about l:l5 o'clock. Fifteen minutes afterwards he heard motor cycle coming up the grade and called to the rider who failed to hear .lis cries. A short time later, or about half hour after the accident, Flumer- felt and his companions, headed up the grade, saw where the machine had zone off the road and they also heard Shrum's cries for assistance. The doctor was found near his machine which was held from falling farther by a huge rock. He was carried to tine car of his rescuers and rushed to Prescott as fast as his condition would permit Flumerfelt to travel.
 Flumerfelt wanted to take Shrum to Humboldt and have him brought in on a stretcher to save him from the numerous jars that aggravated his in juries and made them more painful, but the physician insisted upon com ing on to Prescott. Upon their ar rival here the injured man was inn mediately rushed to the hospital and there treated by Dr. H. T. South worth and Dr. R. N. Looney.

VISIT OF BANKER
 RECALLS OLD LITIGATION
(From Thursdays Daily.)

B. A. Turner, banker of Edin- burg, Illinois, is in the city en route to Crown King to visit Mir. and Mrs. George P. Harrington.
 Mir. Turner was the Illinois re- ceiver of the old Crown King Min ing Company at the time of the com promise of its years of litigation and the sale of the famous mine and mill at Crown King to the Yavapai Con- solidated Gold-Silver-Copper Com pany here. He was also executor of the estate of John Cor Jack) Nelson at the time of the organization of the Nelson Mining Company, by Phila- delpnia capitalists who purchased the Nelson claims, which are being So successfully developed under the man agement of Mir. Harrington and arc attracting so much attention of late because of the high quality and quan- tity of the ore being opened up there.
 The Nelson vein parallels the old Crown King vein and MT. Harring- ton claims 1t is showing much richer indications. Mir. Turner stated that it paid $242, 800 in dividends before ONiAl9 SlOoNQ QONA II DJ lllN OlIlNA ehilN prolonged litigation prosecuted in the Arizona and Illinois courts until ais death by O. F. Place against Messrs. George P. Harrington and N. C., Shekels under whose management the dividends were paid.
 It will be recalled by many that Messrs, Place, Shekels and Harring- ton were the principal owners and stockholders of the old Crown King Mining Company and received the major part of the dividends. Upon the settlement of the litigation through the receiver after Mir. Places death it was found that he had spent most all of his third part of the dividends on the litigation and left his stock entailed for $S,000 indebt- edness. After the payment of all tfe accounting expenses, court costs and attorneys fees, as compromised by the receiver, he says that he had less than $5,000 left to distribute to the stockholders out of the $75,000 re ceived from the sale of the property.
 During the dividend paying time of the Crown King mine the stock holders received an offer of $3OO,OO0 for their property, that sum being 30 cents per share for all the stock but Place refused to sell his minority interest.
 Later John L. Mclean, of New York, and George F. Shurtleff, of Philadelphia, contracted to purchase the majority of the stock at 25 cents per share or $15OO00 for all the stock and organized the Crown King Mines Company to reopen the mine and do other extensive developing at Crown King. But they failed in financing their ponderous and extravagant plans and were forfeited out of the contract by the Illinois courts at the time of the appointment of the re- cciver, who subsequently, sold the entire Crown King Mining Company property to the Yavapai Consolidated d-Silver-Copper Company for $75, GOO and closed up the old company's affairs
 During the years the Crown King Mine stood idle because of the litiga- ton 1t filled with water and some of its tunnels no doubt collapsed but those associated with its former man agcment yet insist that it Is no doubt a ricn mine well worth reopening and the success being obtained by the Nelson Company may be some stin- uluS to do so.
