COME ID INSPECT LYNX CREEK
 PAGERS
(From Saturdays Da1ly.)

Captain A. w. Farney, E. Landis,
 William Wittmeyer and John H. Williams, member of the recently in- corporated Lonesome Valley Mining Company, arrived yesterday from Kansas City, on a trip of inspection of their holdings along Lynx creek, which include the old hydraulic dig gings. It is probable arrangements will he closed by which operations will begin in a short time.
 In speaking of the project yester- day, Captain Farney stated he and party are to remain for few days only, on a reconnaissance of their hold ings, after which plans are to be formulated for, going ahead. This syndicate recently acquired all the large interests of the Barlow-Massicks estate, and among the more valuable was a large area of placer property more familiarly known as the old hydraulics, which in early days pro- duced heavily when water resources were abundant along Lynx creek for storage. What method is under con Sideratlon to recover the values will be determined after the visitors con sider the situation.
 Captain Farney a few years ago was at the head of an undertaking to install dredging apparatus, to be situated about mile above the old diggings, and plans were being con summated when operations were sus' pended, and negotiations were started for the Massicks holdings, that were closed only short time ago. The last extensive working of the old ground was over a third of a century ago, when the yield in less than three months reached to over $35 900 under primitive methods of hydraulicing Ma5sicks attempted to revive this system of working the soil. building a large dam on Lynx creek several miles above but it was washed away during a tremendous flood. The Rucayrus steam. shovel was introduc- ed, but the principle was failure, owing to the. massive boulders en- countered, which, could not be handled by the frail built apparatus. Since that time nothing has been accom- plished, and the owner passing away, the estate had been under probate for several years, finally being closed up only few months ago.
 This placer movement among old time mining men conversant with that field. is attracting very much interest by reason of, the auriferous values known to exist

PRESCOTT NEEDS
 CUSTOMS ORE PLANT
(From Saturdays Daily.)

NIlOln Odlul ut-t . Cdllys y
 J. B. Tomlinson, who has just re turned from an extended stay in Col orado, says Prescott must have a cyanide plant for the treatment of ores" Mir. Temlinson and son Edward L., while in Colorado erected and placed in operation a one-hundred ton cyanide plant at Gold Hill He de clares that previous to the starting of this enterprise Gold Hill was as dead as a graveyard, and that now there is an activity all about the place, which is making people sit up and take notice. He says that for the treatment of sulphide ores there is nothing that competes with the class of mill he erects, and believes that the construction of such plant at Prescott with sufficient capacity for the handling of a large commercial business of general character would mean the opening up of great num- Der of properties tributary to this city which will otherwise remain dor mant for years to come.
 According to his theory, what is needed to make mining with limited capital pay is facilities to save for the producer every possible penny from the time he commences to dig the ore from the hills until it is marketed. At present small compan- ies and private individuals are held back here because there is no profit for them when they have to haul their ores to the railroad from the mine and ship them long distances foT treatment The freight and loss in eakage" eats up practically all the profit there is in the ores and leaves the investor no returns on his in vestment or labor. With- plant at Prescott for the handling of custom ores many people would see profits in mining properties which cannot be touched under present circumstances without loss to those interested. MT. Tomlinson says that until the mining men of this district awaken to the necessities of the situation along these lines they may expect to go on from year to year with their hands in their pockets wondering what in thunder IS the matter with the coun- try" He thinks moderate investment in the proper kind of a custom plant would produce dividends practically from the very. start, and finally re- suit in the establishment of a shelter here of very great importance.
 Prescott needs payroll l,' he de clares, and until she does something to secure one, she will never assume the position she deserves in the min ing world. And she will never secure one until she lays the proper founda- tion."
 Mir Tomlinson was busy yester- day paying the taxes and straighten- ing up the affairs of the Mutual Gold and Silver Mining Company prepara- tory to some important development work on the Venezia group of mines in Crook Canyon country, which are owned by himself, Judge Sloan and a number of Pittsburg parties. It is the intention of these men to start permanent operations there and de- velop the property to the very maxi mum of its possibilities. As soon as he has this work fairly started he will make another trip to the La Platta country in Colorado where himself and son have contracted to erect another large cyanide plant.

ARE LOSING LOTS OF MONEY.
Eighteen Applicants Claim They Lost
Small Sum of Money Found
and Advertised.

Mr.. s. G. Ray advertised in last
weeks Leader that he had found a
small sum of money and that the
owner could secure same from
him by describing it, giving
amount, etc. Since that time some
IS or 20 people have been to him,
claiming that they had lost
amounts varying from 81 cents to
$50 90. The proper owner has not
put in an appearance. Mr.. Ray still
retaining the find.
All the above suggests several
things, namely:
That the people hereabouts must
have considerable money for
pocket change -
That advertising pays, especially
in The Leader, wher anything is
advertised that there is a demand
for
That there are an unusual num-
ber of people hereabouts who are
careless with their money and lose
1t as a result.
That there may be some people
who are taking advantage of an
others misfortune in an effort to
gain for themselves.
Mr. Ray did not suggest any OF
the above to the paper man, but
did say that he still wants to re-
store his find to the rightful own

MISSISSIPPIANS OWN HALF
COW EACH. ..OTHER FIGURES

Mississipplans own only a half
COW apiece as compared with three
and half cows to every farm
worker in the central West; they
sell only $l3 worth of products an
nuaIIy to $112 in Illinois; and the
entire earnings of farm workers in
this section of the South is less
than 5000 yearly, as compared with
about $500 in the central West.
These are some of the salient facts
brought unt in DR. G. E. Nelson's
lecture on The Earnings of Farm
Workers." which was delivered at
the court house Friday night.
DR., Nelson illustrated his lec-
ture with slides showing the I'M
provement in farm machinery in
this country as compared with the
improvement in the Orient and
Europe. He showed the increased
earring capacity of the western
farmer, who was able to do more
than the average farmer of the
South, for he stated that a man. S
earning capacity was not in the
time spent, but in what was &C.
compIished.
The average farmer uf the GEN.
trail West can cultivate 60 acres.
and his earnings per year are over
5000, while in this section. the av-
erage capacity for a farm worker
is cut down below the 5000 mark.
He stated that there was always a
relation between the accomplish
ment and the amount earned. =
