 BUSINESS BOOMER
(From Thursdays Daily !

w. Jeff Martin. mining man and merchant of Canyon, was a business visitor yesterday, coming in auto, and states the opening of the old road to Prescott is again bringing trade to the north instead of diverting it to the south as heretofore. This move ment was an excellent one to stimuli ate mining and other business, and the reopening of the old road to traf- hc is already having a wonderful eff feet in bringing in investors as we'll are many auto tourists passing through the country" he said. Martin made his first trip to Prescott in many years by the short route Heretofore he has travelled via Phoenix, by the route of 220 miles to reach his destination of only 45 miles.

 ship of the men who work beneath the earth for their livelihood.
 Mir. Getchell has been resident of Arizona for seven years. four years of which time he has had charge Of the Cash mines at Senator. He has ever been an enthusiastic and ardent advocate of Yavapai's mineral re- sources, and through his personal ef- forts has brought much capital to this county, resulting in the developing of properties which had long lain idle.
 If elected, Mir. Getchcll pledges himself to work for an economical ad- Ininistration of State affairs and the interests of Yavapai county. It is safe to say that with him occupying a seat in the senate, Yavapai's materi- al interests will be safe-guarded. Per sonally, Mir. Getchell is popular wher- ever known, and his experience in business affairs makes him an ideal representative of the people. Demo- crats and Republicans could do no better for themselves and their county than by voting for him on election day.

TO ORGANIZE STATE
 AGAINST WILSON
(From Fridays Daily.)

Following the declaration of Jus.
 tice Hughes in favor of the Susan B.
 Anthony amendment and the action
 of the Woman's party in opposing
 President Wilson, Mrs. E. St. Clair Thompson is expected in Arizona
 soon to organize the women of the
 State in their fight to secure national
 suffrage. It is believed that Mrs.
 Thompson, who is herself a Demo- crat, will advise the women of the
 State to vote for Hughes for presi- dent as the best means of securing national suffrage.
 While the action of the convention of the Woman's party at Colorado Springs was not a formal endorse ment of the candidacy of MT. Hughes it practically amounts to that. It is a commendation of his expressed views on the subject of national suff rage. Likewise, the equal suffrage blanks of the Progressive, Prohibit ton and Socialist parties are com mended. Mir Hughes and all these parties favoring a Federal amend ment to the constitution will no doubt receive votes of members of the Woman's party, but Mir. Hughes will almost certainly receive the bulk of the votes, those of the practical mem bers who are voting not for princi- ple alone but for the earliest possible results. A vote for the Prohibition or Socialist candidate for president (there is no Progressive candidate), would be a vote for principle alone, the slightest prospect of a result. A vote for Mir. Hughes will be a vote to place an advocate of national equal suffrage in a com position. It will also be a | vote against Mir. Wilson, who is openly hostile to national suffrage, | favoring it only by States, when he knows that hardly within a genera ton will it be accepted or even be given respectful consideration in the Southern States.

MOVEMENT ID EXPLORE
 COLD BELT
THREE COM MPR E S S ORI PLANTS FOR THE NEW STATE, ELK AND PERRY MINES.
(From Thursdays Daly.)

Operations on the New State gold mines, where a rich strike occurred a short time ago, have assumed an in teresting situation as development goes ahead, and in order to carry out exploration on an enlarged scale, the equipment of the property with a large air compressor to drive drills has been decided upon.
 This statement was made yesterday by Manager w. s. Wilhelm, and he also said that the Elk and Perry mines, on the same Assure would be operated in like manner, giving to each mineral unit of his company q modern equipment! with which to ex- peditc development.
 This action follows from the re, markable determinations made in the New State, where slow progress is being made by hand work. The Elk and Perry carrying identical orc bodies as the New State to the depth reached, is considered as a favorable condition to warrant the extensive operations decided upon. The driv- ing of the tunnel on the New State to reach an air connection continues, and when that point is reached the large ore body of high grade values will be the active center thereafter. The Elk tunnel will be driven to tap the ore body on the New State at great depth, while the Perry work ings also are to be connected up with the above two, making one of the biggest development propositions in augurated in Hassayampa district in many years. Mir Wilhelm is sanguine over the New State proving an attrac tive property, and is equally confident as to the Elk and Perry when depth is given. The new equipment is to be installed at once, when the mine forces will be increased to meet the new condition.

N. H. GETCHELL IS
 CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

N. H. Getchcll, who has announced his candidacy for State Senator or the Republican ticket, is eminently qualified to fill the position, not only with credit to himself but 10 the party he seeks to represent.
 Mir. Getchell has been a miner since the days of his youth, and through industry and intelligence has worked himself up to recognized position among the mining men of the State. He started on the end of a muck stick at the age of l5, and has mined from Alaska to Mexico, and Califor- mia to Nova Scotia. He was among the first, if not the first, to voluntarily recognize the benefits of an eight hour day. In 1895, when superintend- ent of the Mammoth mine, Colo, he reduced the hours of his men from ten to eight. 1t was not until several years later that legislation was en- acted which put the eight-hour law ID that and other States on the statute books. During his long career in the mining industry, NIT. Gctchell has never had any trouble at any proper ty of which he has had charge. This IS due to the fact that when his men. felt there was a situation that needed adjustment, they had no hesitancy in coming and laying their case be- fore him, confident that it would be adjusted. It was this kindly relation existing between employer and en:- ploye which earned him the friend

 Frank J. Duffy proposes to continue as a candidate for the Democratic nomination of Judge of the Supreme court. In a letter to the Journal Miner he says:
 "I was not induced or influenced by Governor Hunt, and he has in no way made any indication or proposi- ton regarding renouncing my candi- dacy. l announced my candidacy for the office, and am endeavoring in good faith to secure the nomination because l feel that ii IS an honor to which any man who IS qualified may aspire. Further, I have no intention of renouncing my candidacy.

POT HOLE BEING
 EXPLORED
INTERESTING AND NOVEL MINING MOVEMENT BE- GINS TO RECOVER PLA- GER GOLD VALUES.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Contrary to the general belief that rotholes in the Hassayampa river are barren of gold values, results obtain ed in opening up these niches created by flood waters, are indicative Of treasure being stored therein.
 This exploration movement was started few weeks ago by the Ari- zona and California Mining Co.,, at the suggestion of w. s. Wilhelm, gen. eral manager, on representations made to him by placer miners of that belt who are conversant with aurifer- ous conditions along the stream, and the probability of gold abounding therein according to the rules of gravity. Wilhelm was receptive to the suggestion, and his first move has been directed to opening up certain pothole of 90 feet in diameter and of unknown depth. The surface to a depth of eight feet has been cleaned
 
 off, and he stated yesterday four gold is being recovered from the sands therein. Machinery will be installed later, and a thorough system of ex- ploration to bedrock will for the first time be given this interesting propo- sion which has its advocates for and against.
 Mir. Wilhelm stated yesterday he initiated this undertaking from results given many years ago in Colorado and California, under similar conditions prevailing as along the Hassayampa, in which streams were diverted from their natural flow, and when the bed rock zones were reached vast sums of gold stored were recovered.

SHAPING UP THE GOLD BLOSSOM
 FOR BIG WORK
3 MINE SHIFTS HEREAF- TER, HEAVY MACHINERY TO BE INTRODUCED AT ONCE.
tFrom Fridays Daily.)

F. A. Johnson, of Long Beach, Cal, arrived in Prescott on Tuesday, and will immediately take charge as su- perintcndent of the Gold Blossom Mining Co.,, which has holdings on
 Indian creek, south of this city about six miles.
 He stated that day that en enlarg- cd plan of development begins at once, as result of the splendid show ing made in recent months. Three shifts of miners are to be placed at work immediately. A new hoist, air compressor and other equipment are cn route. The purpose of the com pany is to sink the main shaft to at least depth of 800 feet, and drive drifts as this work progresses. Pro- tluction, Mir. Johnson says, is to be of secondary consideration, and a line of development only is planned for months ahead. The property has passed out of the stage of a prospect, and the attractive showing at the 200 foot level supports the new move mcnt that has been authorized from the Long Beach office. Additional surface accommodations for the new work are also to go up, and an ener- getic line of large operations super sedes the prospecting that has been going on for over year. The values carried in three-foot ore body arc said to show over Sl00 to the ton. The Gold Blossom is closely operated, with George NJ. Spicer, leading law yer of Long Beach, at its head as president.

HUGE PLACER|NG MOVEMENT IS
 UNDER WAY
FAMOUS LA PAZ DIG GINGS OF YEARS AGO ARE AGAIN TO BE- COME ACTIVE.
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Arrivals from Quartzsite recently bring information that the famed La faz placer mines of nearly half a cen tury ago, have been revived by Cal iiornia syndicate, of which E. w. Grimes is principal, and is in charge of operations.
 The plan IS to pump water from the Colorado river at Ehrenberg to the storage site selected six miles dis tant, for conducting hydraulic opera tions. A huge plant is being installed and excavating for the big dam Is progressing. The project was taken up several years ago, but action was withheld in maturing plans by the in tcrior department refusing to grant the company right-of-way across an Indian reservation, until an inves- tigation was made. The undertaking will require Sl25,000 for construction.
 This placer movement revives one VI bhC Ndl il -Ndg SOiNOHhdS Oi bhN West. By dry washing methods re- coveries ran into the thousands, and the field where is located the immense wealth, attracted hundreds of fortune hunters from all sections of the coun- try. It is known to be fact that two Germans entered the forbidden strip less than Is years ago, and after quietly dry washing a small area cleaned up over $lS,0O0 each, when they returned to Europe.
 Another romance is linked to these diggings, in the supposition that an old adobe building at La Paz, long since melted away by flood waters, Is said to have treasured over Sl00,000 which was cached therein by two miners who were placed under arrest by the government. About two years ago this incident was taken up by Chicago firm to solve, but the mark ings of the old place were obliterate1 by time, and the search was aban- doned

 the famous Davy Crockett, admitted
 having violated the booze law and was awarded three months in the county jail and a 6ne of S25, to be served out at the rate of Sl a day. Crockett is the dean, in time of resi- dence. of the local colored colony.
 Before the court passed sentence. Crockett told the story of his arrest and it proved to be most interesting and amusing one.
 'I met stranger from Jerome that day, your honor" said Crockett, "and he asked me to take a drink" Crock cit declared he accompanied the stranger to a soft drink emporium and there indulged in a glass of root beer, while the stranger ordered soda wat CT. Then, declared Crockett, the stranger remarked that he had Sl35 and wanted a real drink, and offered the colored pioneer $ if he could produce "a bottle" Crockett said he went south of the city and there met a white man with two bottles Of whiskey, one of which he secured.
 Returning to Prescott, he declared, he accompanied the stranger to q room in a local hotel and threw the bottle on the bed. When the strang- CT told him to take drink Crockett said he replied, You fust, suh." Then he said a deputy sheriff jumped out from behind the bureau in the room and placed him under arrest in spite of Crockett's vigorous protests that he had committed no crime.
 J. E. Templeton, also charged with the prohibition amendment. pleaded not guilty and his trial was set for August 24th.

DEVELOPMENTS AT
 P.-J. MINE INTERESTING
Special Correspondence.

Spcclal Correspondence.
 JEROME, August H- Develop
 ments at the Pittsburg-Jerome are as stunning interesting proportions, ac-
 cording to authentic reports coming
 from the management of the property. The two-inch vein of high grade en-
 countered in the shaft several weeks ago, has widened to approximately F inches, and IS still in the eight-foot ledge of copper glance. The ledge of glance was passed through in the shaft nearer the surface, but the high grade did not reach the shaft. Sink ing the winze through the vein is in progress, and is relatively slow, as the formation proves formidable for rapid sinking.
 The full details of the strike have probably never been fully recounted to the public, but from reports given cut at intervals, and the very evident satisfaction of the management over the turn affairs have taken, there is little doubt that Pittsburg-J Jerome has arrived, and with development of the ere appearing for the first time to the west of the shaft at depth of 500 feet and dipping downward, more in teresting accounts may be hoped for.

So far as could be learned the dead man has no relatives in this section.

 The initial runs are being made from Binghamton ores, the product from which mine he states, responds to the treatment given by Notation, without resorting to the tables in po- sition. This makes an admirable process, he further said, and the re- covery is surprising in the percentage shown"
 The plant is handling at the presen: time l25 tons per day, and this out put will be enlarged in a short time to l50 tons. With the plant now mak- ing heavy recovery, the Copper Queen Gold Company is preparing to begin mine work in a short time. It will also use the Notation mill under a joint agreement by which the works were built Flotation in this instance has solved a vital problem for the future of both mines, MT.
