B|G STICK GOLD DEAL FORMALLY
 CLOSED
OKLAHOMA OPERATORS IN CHARGE, AND THE GOLD STANDARD GROUP ALSO TAKEN OVER.
(From Thr-sday's DailY.O


 ]. l.. Howell, owner of the Biz Stick group of gold mines, Santa Maria district. arrived from the camp yesterday and announced that a deal had been formally closed. and the property IS now Tn the initial stages of operation by close association of Oklahoma investors.
 Mir. Howell said that another quite important deal in that field has been consummated, in which the new own CTS of the Big Stick have taken over the Gold Standard mines of (. D. Clark, and arc preparing to operate that holding. in conjunction with the Big Stick. It is Mir. Howell's belief that other sales will be consummated in a short time, and the holding com pany will have not only an extensive mineral area under one management, hut as well will some of the most de- sirable golI mines in that field be con junctively operated.
 In all transactions above noted. the consideration is withheld, but that a ,arge sum is involved is admitted
 The Big Stick is a well known carly day group. on which Howell had per formed several thousand feet of de velopment. as well had option holders erected a 20stamp mill cyanide works. and other equipment, in addi- ton to mine work at different points. A vast tonnage of Sl0 ore is ready for mining. and otherwise the proper ty is ready for immediate operation. At the head of the new syndicate IS R. H: Fulton. as general manager. also one of the principal shareiold- CTS. The gateway to the Big Stick camp will be at Date creek siding on the s. F. P. & P., from which point . wagon road of l9 miles is open With repairs made, autos can easily make the trip. The new company will place auto trucks on the road at once, for taking in supplies and fuel oil This movement is one of the biggest and most important ever clos cd in Western Yavapai, and signalizes the reopening of district that had long been neglected.

bACA GRANT HAS BIG SURPRISE
 UNEARTHED
CATTLE RANGE REGION SHOWS AN IMMENSE MINERAL CONDITION IN EXISTENCE.
(From Thursdays Oailv.)

The discovery of mineral bearing zone of the Baca Grant lands of Dr. E. B. Perrin. in Northwestern Yav- apai has been accomplished by J. R. Patterson, while plying his vocation as a hunter and trapper. He exhibit ed yesterday samples of ore there from to substantiate this condition. which was discovered through an ac cident Patterson brings to the city samples from the find. showing a 12 inch vein of free milling gold ore that run into the hundreds to the ton. while from another zone in the dyke is copper bearing ore of bornite character of high percentage.
 He said yesterday: Its all off with me now, as I made the neces- sary location under the supposition that this land was open to mineral entry. Such is not the case. however, as the tract of over eight miles square is individually owned, and is also un- der single fence. At the time I was iE the enclosure the dyke of about. l2 feet wide was clipped off at differ cnt places, and a short time afterward I came to Prescott to investigate the legal status of the situation. l have lost out. in acquiring bonanza. but the discovery will benefit the owner. however. It is an immense show ing. and what development may de termine. remains to be proven"
 Patterson entered the enclosure with his pack for the reason that game abounds therein. which has not been molested by reason of the tract be- ing closed to men of his vocation ani utilized solely for grazing cattle. Prospectors for years had run over that country when the grant was open, but the Patterson discovery was the first to its credit.
 By way of coincidence since this strike occurred only few days ago. Dr. Perrin arrived in Prescott yester- day afternoon at a late hour in his auto. coming from Williams. and i'm mediately left for his ranch in the Baca grant, to make an investigation of what had been reported to nim as a bonanza discovery.

WILL KEEP EYES ON
 SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS
(From Saturdays Daily)

In view of the facts that hundreds of visitors will be in the city next week and hundreds of residents will desert their homes for the celebra- ton grounds during Frontier Days, the shcriff's office IS making plans to police Prescott thoroughly. Several additional deputies will be sworn in and all regular officers will be on duty practically all of the time.
 It is not expected that many crooks will come to Prescott during the celebration as the recent crusades on bunco men. pickpoCkets and other propaganda launched by the detective of practically every city on the Pacific Coast have resulted in hundreds of such characters being ar rested, fined and ordered to leave the State.
 However, local officials are going to take no chances, and every suspi- cious looking character will be close ly watched.

It is not the wish of the Frontier Days management to make d fortune from the returns of the dancing and for that reason only Q nominal charge of five cents per dance will be imposed. Leo has not yet made his appointments of assistants, but he remarked yesterday that as soon as the news had spread that there would be open air dancing each evening. that no less than 20 eligibles applied for the position.

NEW STATE GOLD STRIKE LEADS ID
 LARGE DO|NGS
BIG DEVELOPMENT BE- GINS, AND THE ELK ON
 SAME FISSURE. IS ALSO
 ACTIVELY OPERATING.
tFrom Thursdays Dnly.)

Three shifts nave been placed at work on the New State and two shifts cn the Elk groups of gold mines in Hassayampa district. as the result of the rich strike made on the former a short time ago.
 Such was the information given yesterday by General Manager Will helm. who is directing operations on both properties. In speaking of the situation on the New State he said that there is no occasion to exagger- ate the strike made by contractors, the gold values being substantiated as given in first reports, indicating that a very attractive property IS as surcd The shoot opened in the tun- nel was at point in of 525 feet, and the ore is a galena. carrying however, but small values in silver. an eXcep- tional condition from a mineralogicai standpoint. The tunnel is to be driv- en an additional 500 feet. and in the meantime connection will be made with the old shaft for air, before sink ing at that point begins.
 With the New State strike fully de tcrmined the Elk has also resumed which adioins on the same Assure. and the tunnel thereon will be driven an additional 425 feet to connect both mines. at depth ultimately on the New State of over 500 feet. Mr. Wilhelm stated further: There is no occasion to get excited over the fine showing made on the New State or to anticipate anything too big on the Elk. Both mines are on the same contact and their mineral contents are identical. The Arizona California Mining Company owns the New State and the Maricopa Queen Oil Com pany has the Elk. Under joint ar engagement both holdings are to be operated by one management. and on community basis. to certain eX- tent. I will also say that the New State would indicate from determine tions in the strike zone. a very desir- able property and the Elk has a very fine outlook also. Large and extensive plans for handling both properties have been arranged, and each will bc fully explored. must admit, however. that the large ore body opened in the New State. ami the heavy gold values contained. have exceeded my anticipations and arc agreeably surprising. Ii this strike occurred in the Oatman field, it would bring in I million of dollars for in vestment in a single week and cause stampede of operators and miners thereto"

NEEDED that ACE
Woman Pulls One From Her
Shoe i'm the Movie.
Appeal Board Passes Film Over
Head of Foster.

Maybe at some time in their lives
members of the appeal board had just
such an experience-hiked a big pot
on three cold aces and then discovered
that the opposing player was standing
pat. Whether members did or not,
they forgave the woman who stole a
fourth ace from her shoe to beat a
pat hand and passed that now famous
movie, 1.-THE Kiss" right over the head
Of the Rev. Festus Foster, chairman of
the state censor board.
1t was a sight to make the blood of
lover of the great American game
run cold. There sat a pretty woman
luck seemed to join her again and
the dealer presented her with three
aces. Up went the pot and the dark
paired villain stayed. The pretty girl
called for two cards and didn't help
her hand a bit. The villain stood pat.
Ruin faced the girl. She dropped
a card to the floor, reached for it but
instead pulled a fourth ace from a
low shoe.
Cant blame her a single speck,'
said some one who probably had been
in a similar predicament.
The board evidently had the same
opinion. The Rev. Festus Foster per-
mitted the gambling scene all right
but objected to a scene showing cheat
ing at cards.
More difficulty is being encountered
by the appeal board in deciding
whether The Common Law shall be
shown in Kansas. A decision hadn't
been reached late this afternoon.
