IMPORTANT DEAL FOR COPPERS
 IS CLOSED
McNULTY & MCBRIDE SELL TO BIG SYNDICATE, AND ACTIVE EXPLORATION
 STARTS IMMEDIATELY.
(Ftom Tuesdays Daily.l

By the first payment of several thousand dollars, the big deal for the copper holdings of C. J. McNulty and Mike Mcbride, on Copper creek, ten miles to the southwest of Prescott, has been consummated, and the group of fifty claims is now in the hands of the Daily -Crawford-L d-Lewissohn syndi- cate, one of the strongest firms of mining operators in the country. The arrival in Prescott last week of H. E. Crawford, was the final move for con- cluding of negotiations which had been pending for several weeks, and detailed matters were adjusted annie ably to all interested.
 It is stated that the deal has con sideration running to over S3OO,OOO in payments to be made as develop ment progresses, and that the option agreement calls for a large line of ex- ploration. The property was present. ed to the above syndicate by T. J. Sparks, and his reports. were verified by the examinations made by the en- gineers of the above investors. It is stated that churn drilling will be the initial move to make determinations, and in this line several machines arc to be employed. It is also quite prob hn will be practically opened up, where conditions are absolute in ore bodies existing.
 Aside from one of the best known of copper groups in this field going into new hands, the advent to 1ava- pal county of such strong firm of copper people as above, IS an excel lent indication of what attractive pos abilities await mining in that as well as other localities where virgin con- ditions exist, and where geological features offer inducements for large operating money. The holdings of Mcbride & McNulty have been thor oughly prospected, and the original owner, MT. McNulty, devoted more than Is years to covering his group with research 10 various depths, in many instances proving an immense copper belt for capital to make pro- ductive.
 The region where this group is sit uated is generally admitted by en- gineers to be a continuation of the Copper Basin field, and is distant less than three miles by direct line from and of the same elevation as the Commercial holdings. This deal is creating much favorable comment from the amount involved, the prom thence of the incoming operators, and the attractive mincralogical condi tions for making another large cop per producer for Yavapai, which now is in the ascendency at so many points where capital has entered.

CATHERINE LEDGE IS
 CUT ON WINCHESTER
(From Sundays Dsily.)

The shaft that has been sunk through debris and quicksand to a depth of l30 feet on the mining prop erty of Joe Winchester, in the Union Pass section, IS now in big ore. The shaft was sunk on the mining claims that lie between the Catherine and the Pyramid mines, the ore body be- ing reached in accordance with the calculations of the owner. Samples taken across the ore body that has so far been exposed gave results of SD per ton in gold. The vein has not vet been crosscut from wall to wall, but this will come later.
 The vein of the Winchester prop erty is one of the largest in the River range and is traceable for miles. In the Catherine and at the Pyramid the vein is exposed in places for widths of from 40 to 100 feet, and the great outcrop on the Winchester is equally as prominent. Where the shaft was sunk there is evidences of erosion through the action of the river, the channel being well dehned.-Mohave Daily Miner

Skull Valley Fish
 Ranch A Success
(From Tuesdays Dsily0

The success of the Crystal Springs Trout Company, of Skull valley, is now assured, and the first propogat- ing has reached that stage from which rainbow trout of more than one foot in length, and 10000 minnows of from one inch to three inchees long have been the outcome of the management of Richard McNary. In addition to the above first output the hatchery is propagating over 100000 eggs, and in due time these will mature into fish and be stocked in the pools.
 Precautions are being taken to avert such a disaster as took place last Summer during the rainy season. when the muddy waters from cloud burst destroyed the first matching. McNary stated yesterday the market ing of trout should begin early in the Fall.

OLD SUNNYS|DE MINES ID bE
 DEVELOPED
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

H. A. Groom, of Phoenix, has talk en an option on the old SunnySide group of gold mines, II miles south cast of Prescott on the new State highway. This group was discovered in the early sos by Enoch Williams. After discovering the claims Williams did considerable work on them, hand ling the high grade ore by arastra. He also did considerable placer min ing on the ground, working all of the small gulchcs leading up to the vein, some of which paid handsomely.
 Some years ago a small free gold mill was installed but did not prove successful for lack of knowledge along mining lines and lack of funds 10 remodel the plant so that the val ues could be saved.
 q expect to begin work in few days" said Groom yesterday. There is now about Sl2,00O worth of ma chinery on the property. There IS 5S3 feet of tunnel work done at wate, level, 40 feet below the surface and at a depth where the sulphide zone begins I believe the Sunnyside vein is one of the strongest in the district It is traceable on the surface for more than a mile and I am confident it eX- tends to a great depth"

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, July s. - A thunder, lightning and rainstorm visited the Verde valley yesterday afternoon and, besides putting the Fossil Creek pow CT line cut Of commission for over three hours, the golden drops saved the crops of the ranchers along the Verde.
 Of course the burned out power lines caused considerable inconveni- encc to local mines and business houses. Candles lit the town for the early part of the evening but strenu- ous effort on the part of the power men got the wire connected by 0 o'clock.
 The rain was none too plentiful for the ranchers, however It will take considerable more wetting to give the proper irrigation to the ground. The sheep and cattle ranges received the greatest benefit from the shower.

JEROME HOTEL IS TO
 ADD 20 NEW ROOMS
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, July S.-That the Con nor hotel of Jerome will have another story and larger lobby built by No vember l, was the statement of John Keller, of the Connor & Keller firm which operates the hostelry.
 Mir. Keller said last night that the third floor which would be built would give 20 more modern rooms to the hotel In the new rooms, hot and cold running water and baths will be conveniences which will add greatly to the comfort of the traveller.
 It will be necessary, also, to re- model part of the lower floor and en- large the lobby, according to Mir. Keller. On account of the corner room in which the cafe is located, it will be impossible to give it more space regardless of the fact that the patronage has doubled several times. The improvement of the hotel building has been delayed for some time as it is the property of the Con- nor estate of which John Francis ] Connor, a minor, of Prescott IS the legatee.
 D. F. Connor and family who have | been on a vacation trip to Long Beach will return to Jerome about the 18th of the month and Keller, his partner in the hotel business, accom- panied by Mrs. Keller, will take their turn at vacationizing on the Coast.

city limits of Jerome, the machine baked while Mrs. De Wolf was shift ing gears. De Wolf and Hesla got out of the car and helped push it up the hill. Mrs. De Wolf shifted gears again and the car started backwards, the brakes having evidently failed to work. Acker pushed his daughter from the machine and shouting 10 Mrs. De Wolf to jump, sprang from the car. As Mrs. De Wolf smiled, confident that she would be able to stop the machine, the car suddenly shot backwards, left the road and rolled down the hill for l50 feet, turn ing over several times. Mrs. De Wolf was thrown from the machine after it had rolled about SO feet, and rendered unconscious. She was pick ed up and taken to the hospital in a machine which was following the Dc Wolf car, driven by an employe of the Arizona Light and Power Com- pany. Mrs. De Wolf is suffering from severe scalp wounds, and face decorations.
 Dr. Raul, of the United Verde medical staff, reported late last night that no bones were broken nor had Mrs. De Wolf suffered any internal injuries, and that she would undoubt- edlv recover.
 Had not Acker showed his daughter from the machine and jumped, it is believed that both would have been seriously, if not fatally, injured. Both Acker and De Wolf were completely unnerved by the accident.
