WANTS To HAVE
AM0DEL FARM
F0RORPHANS
NJ. E. HARRIS, HEAD OF CORNISH
ORPHANS HOME, HAS A PET
SCHEME THAT HE HOPES TO
SEE MATERlALIzE THIS YEAR.

NJ. Il. Harris, superintendent of the
Cornish orphans home, was in the
city yesterday soliciting funds for
that institution. Mr.. Harris reported
that he was meeting with good sue
cess here. in fact. he says the peo-
pie of this city have always been ex-
tremely liberal with him and have
never failed to respond to his call
for help.
At the present time there are 22
inmates of the home, but Mr.. Harris
says this number will be consider
ably increased with the advent of win
ter.
He has planned to buy Il farm in
addition to the present property and
convert 1t into an up to date truck
and dairy farm, something that will
be self-supporting. If he succeeds,
the institution will have 800 acres
and will be a model farm for any
ones inspection. The purchase price
of this property will approximate
$4,000, and OF that amount he has
already secured nearly half. He has
the assurance of several local oil
operators that they will assist him in
this matter and he hopes to have
the work we'll begun another year.
Mr.. Harris plans to have nothing but
blooded cattle and hogs on the place,
raise large fiocks of chickens and
put their products on the tables of
this city every day. His plan is a
good one and If carried to a success
full termination will be a valuable as
set to the state.
Mr.. Harris is living at Chickasha
at present, but spends most of his
time on the road in the interest Of
the orphans home. He has been at
work on his pet scheme for many
years, and has the satisfaction at pres
ent of knowing that it has been sue
cessful. With the assistance Of the
local oil men who are with him in
the Industrial farm movement, it is
assured that he will see
all his pans materialize before very
long.

Murderer Not Far Away.

John Purcell, who has been work
ing on his mine out in the hills on
the California side, about six miles
from Parker. returned to town Mon
day after an absence of several
weeks. He says that the Mexican
desperate, c. Nazarass, who is want
ed at Needles on charge of murder,
is undoubtedly in hiding at this
time out In the hills in the vicinity
of Copper Basin, for there he was
seen short time ago by H. Hors-
mann. Last Saturday night, as fur
ther evidence of this fact, Purcell
says that his cabin was entered dur
ing his absence and about half of
his provisions and all the tobacco he
had We're carried off. The thief was
seemingly very. cautious about cover
ing his retreat for not one strange
human track could be found about
the place, although it is a certainty
that someone had been there.

UNITED MINES
co. OF BOUSE
STRONG ORGANIZATION FlNANc-
ED BY BANKERS TAKE OVER
LITTLE BUTTE PROPERTY, Lo-
GATED NEAR ROU9E.

A very important mining deal OF
particular interest to northern Yuma
county, was consummated recently
through the flotation of the stock of
the United Mines Company of Ari-
zona. United Mines stock was re
GENTLY listed ON the New York curb
and also on the San Francisco stock
exchange and has proven one of the
most attractive copper features in a
year, marked by unprecedented sue
cesses in the promotion of Arizona
copper industries.
The property of the United Mines
Company Is located near Bouse. 1t
comprises the Little Buttes and sew
eral other properties consolidated
into one large group comprising 500
acres.
Considerable surface work has been
done In years past at many points in
the Bouse district, but no depth was
ever attained up to this time. The
property now owned by the United
Mines Company has been thoroughly
examined by number of the leadinf
mining engineers of the country, i'm
cluding John Wellington Finch and
D. Walter Harvey Weed, of New
York, and S. T.. Godbe, of Los An
geles. The result of very exhaustive
examinations convinced these well
known engineers that, If development
was pushed below the permanent
water level, presumed to be about
500 feet, In all probability large bod
les of good grade copper ore would
be found. The surface workings,
which have reached a depth of 300
feet, have disclosed large and con-
sistent bodies Of gold ore, containing
lenses of high grade copper.
The United Mines Company Is now
installing a splendid equipment, in
cluding compressors. pump and 8
large hoist. The main shaft will be
Immediately sunk to the 700-foot level
and meanwhile, shipments will be
made very shortly from the large ore
bodies now disclosed ON the upper
levels. Churn drills will also be
started at a number of points which
have very promising surface pros
poets.
A successful issue of the important
development plans of the company
will undoubtedly result In a boom in
the Bouse district and cause a
new era of prosperity.
The financing of the United Mines
Company has been in the hands of
number of the most prominent bank
ers in New York and San Francisco
and where a large volume of daily
trading, both ON the New York curb
and the San Francisco exchange, as
we'll as the constant advance in the
prices of the shares, Is an Indication
af the success which has attended
the flotation.
