CONDUCT SAVES TWO
 LIVES
HARRY SHAUN IS THE HERO OF MONTEZUMA HOUSE FIRE; RESCUES TWO DODGERS.
(From Tuesdays Gaily.)

Harry Shaun, day clerk of the Head hotel, is receiving congratulations of many friends for his heroic and effi- cient action in rescuing two day sleepers from the Montezuma house when that structure was ablaze on Sunday morning, at about 10:30 o'clock Both of the men would un- doubtedly have been overcome with smoke had not this young man acted with promptness and coolness in ap- preciating the dangerous situation.
 Shaun came on the scene when the premises were enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke, and by breaking down the doors of the rooms, forcibly pulled the two men out of their beds, both being dazed from the strenuous manner in which they were handled Shaun also was partly overcome by smoke, but was revived in few min utes after reaching the open air. The blaze was due to some careless per son throwing lighted match into pile of rubbish in a woodshed to the rear of the main building, from which this outhouse was totally destroyed. The main structure became ignited, but was extinguished by the prompt arrival of the fire department In a few minutes the place would have been badly damaged, as the dry char acter of the rubbish would have made ingress thereto impossible. It was generally remarked afterward that the fire occurring in the day time was ex- trcmely fortunate, otherwise several deaths might have taken place. There was no insurance on the property.

American Farmers
 ForHassayampaCo

Superintendent A. NJ. McOmie, of the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co., stated yesterday that a division of about l,500 acres had been set aside for an American colony, and seven families had arrived from Southern Arizona and California, with others to follow. This move was made nec- essary to reclaim a larger acreage than heretofore under consideration by the suficiency of water storage of Lake Watson, which will permit of extensive development of land that has remained unoccupied. The tract set aside for the Russians is nearing the productive stage. and is covered with more than 30 miles of irrigating ditches. During the past month Lake Watson was heavily drawn on for water, and measurements taken on Thursday showed that although it's surface area was lowered less than 20 feet, more than 60 feet remain

To Deepen Shaft.

The Jcromc-Victor Extension shaft at Jerome is to be sunk about 50O feet below the present level, l20O feet, work to start within . few weeks. The 700 station has been reached in unwatering the property, formerly known as the Haynes prop erty, and as there is no lateral work below this level, the unwatering will from now on proceed rapidly. After sinking is started, it is expected that the shaft will be put down at the rate of 100 feet per month. Only l2U feet of cross-cutting and drifting was done on the l200 foot level and it is believed that prospecting of the low CT levels of the mine will disclose new leads that will change the plan of operation.

OATMAN STOCKS HAM M RED
 BY TRADERS
MINING WRITER CLAIMS MANY PROPERTIES ARE WORTH MORE THAN EX- CHANGES ADMIT.
By F. R. Dyas.

That professional traders who have been n control of the market on Oatman stocks for some time past, ever since, in fact, ;he slump present. cd a splendid opportunity for the bears, are continuing their tactics of beating down prices whenever pos siblc, is made apparent by the fluc- tuations on the coast exchanges and the wide difference between the bid and asked prices.
 It has become evident, however, that these traders are not buying foi clients, but for themselves, and are loading up on the Oatmans at pres ent levels, augmenting and averaging their holdings further whenever they can succeed in beating down prices to a new low level
 Proof of the tact that others be- sides the regular" stock brokers are getting into the game IS amply evi- denccd by the fact that at present there are no less than four so-called stock exchanges operating in Los An geles-the regular Los Angeles stock exchange; the Los Angeles Mining stock exchange; the Los Angeles Curb exchange, and the Pacific Coast stock exchange. All four of these ex- changes traders are busy with but one object in view, apparently: that of inducing the public to part with their Oatman holdings at the present r;diculously low levels.
 Records of the Los Angeles ex- change show that whenever any of the Oatmans are offered in large quantities al low levels, they are i'm mediately bought in, and it is expect cd that, after the weaker holders have been induced to unload, the profes- sional traders this Fall will institute another boom in the Oatmans which will carry the stocks to their former high levels-much to the profit of the traders instead of the public, which is the way the stock game is usually played.
 Mining men generally who have in- spected the district declare that there are number of properties instrinsic- ally worth more than the stock price at present quotations. For instance, one company has some 100000 shares issued, on which the quotation is lH cents, or a total of $10,50O as the to- tai value of the mine and equipment which is admittedly worth more. An other properly, splendidly equipped, is valued at but S10OO0 at prevailing bid prices, although the bare claims sold a few months ago for $25,000 spot cash. United Eastern, at the bid price of g, figures at $2,4JO,OOO, and it is acknowledged that the mines has over $l00O0,OO0 in ore blocked out.
 Since the bottom fell out of the market, as 1t were, the brokers and companies themselves have been beat ing down prices, and are doing so now for the evident purpise of buying in to unload at the higher levels.

.OUNDEE-AR|ZONA |. STARTS ACTUAL MINING
SHAFT IS SUNK 75 FEET DURING MONTH; DRIF- TING STARTED ON THE 65-FOOT LEVEL.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Surface work on the DundeeAri- zona property at Jerome has been completed and the entire force of men is now employed in actual min ing, according to Consulting Engineer w. E. Deity. The gland stuffing hose on the compressor broke recently and for l2 days all drilling in the shaft was done by hand, until new parts were received. The compressor and machine drills are now in good shape, reports Deity.
 During the last month the shaft oI the property has been sunk 75 feet, to a total depth of 29l feet and the work ing is fully timbered to within l6 feet of the bottom. Twenty feet of the ground encountered during the last sinking was red sandstone and the re- mainder blue lime, intensely frac- tured.
 Three shifts are now engaged in sinking operations in the shaft and as this proceeds Deity anticipates the working will attain a depth of feet daily, including timbering. One shift has been started on the 65-foot level, drifting on the conglomerate ore to the west.
 To handle this ore a 500-foot tram way will probably be constructed di- rect from the dump to the ore bin. The surveyor for the company ex, poets to complete the surface survey of the property this month. During the last month lumber shed, a frame and corrugated iron change room and shower bath building, and a powder house, about 300 feet east of the shaft, have been erected.

 Takes Option on Mines.
 The Sunnyside group O. gold mines, 1 miles southeast of Prescott, has been taken over under option by IT. A. Groom, of Phoenix, who plans to begin operating soon. This group was discovered in the carly sos by Enoch Williams and a considerable amount of ore taken out and treated by an arastra. Williams also did placer work in the gulches leading to the vein of the group. A tunnel, 2S2 feet long, is already on the proper ty, extending about 40 feet below the surface at a depth wEere the sul- phide zone begins. Tine Sunnyside vein is tracable on the surface for about a mile, and Groom is confident that it extends to great depth.
 Several Good Strikes.
 Announcement has been made by Superintendent William Ellingford, of the Gold Blossom Mining Compa- ny, of the striking Of high-gradc lcad-silvcr ore body at a depth of lS5 feet. Sinking will be continued until the 200 foot level is reached, when drifting will begin. The prop erty of the Gold Blossom Company is situated about six miles south of Prescott and was originally patented for farming purposes.
 One of the biggest strikes in the history of the Walker District was made last week on the Old Home stead mine, recently acquired by ]. ]. Shockley and associates, Of New York City. A three foot gold orc body was encountered, carrying a good milling grade of loose forma- ton. The strike was made at a depth of 75 feet in the main shaft. The Homestead lies in the center of the Town of Walker and was first oper- ated in the eos by ]. J. AIilliken, when its free product was treated by an arastra. The old mine was abandoned when base ores came in which could not, at that time, be properly treated, and, until its pres cnt re-opening, the property had lain idle for almost a third of a century. The strike in the Homestead has en- outraged many other operators in the Walker and adjacent districts.

Church WOMEN GIVE
A SUPPER AT EAGLE

Eagle, Oct. 21.-That the Ladies' Aid
is one of the biggest factors within the
church has again been proven by the
splendid attendance of the annual
chicken supper which was given here
last night. From to O'Clock the l.
o. o. F. hall was filled with those who
were anxious to wait their turn for
what may be truly called n yearly
event.
The women of the Methodist church
have always been noted for their vigor
and enthusiasm. and this occasion was
no exception. The tables were crowded
with a variety of Injuries which only
those who present could appreciate.
The tables were beautifully decorated
with carnations, and the whole evening
presented an atmosphere of enthusiasm
and sociability. One feature which was
especially noticeable was the promi-
nence of those from other churches.
While it was a Methodist dinner in
name, It was in reality a union of both
churches, for the Baptist women
seemed equally jealous to make 1T a
success. Such a spirit of harmony ano
compatibility, cannot but add to the
interest of the church work in this
place.
Those in charge report that the at
tendance was large and that the re-
ceipts were even greater than they had
expected.
