MESSAGE COMES FROM
 DAYS OF LONG AGO
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Writing from Conway, Alabama. of recent date, Schuyler Roach states he has in his possession a Henry carbine of the model of 1870. which he pur- chased from Nathan Bowers in Pres cott, and from its historical record in killing many Apaches, the above own e. is anxious to donate it to the prop CT channel in Arizona, ii for no other reason than to perpetuate fine mem ory of its original owner, King s. Woolsey, a courageous figure in early days in making many good Indians"
 Mir. Roach among other things says: Along in the early 70s bought this gun from Mir Bowers at the old adobe ranch in Agua Fria valley. just as the Sharp needle rifle had been issued to the military, and later it was delivered to me at Fort Whipple. I was a trooper i:l a cav airy regiment, and old-timers of Pres, colt will probably remember me ds Corporal Gwynn. This name l as sumed. not for any particular reason, but it was the custom in that faraway day to hide ones identity for family reasons. The Henry carbine struck my fancy when its record was learned and which was substaptiated by the hicks il the stock. of which there were eleven, each one silently proving that that number of good injuns had gone to their happy hunting ground" :" There was also cut in the brass ur- der the breech the initials of K. s. w. This old gun carries back memories of wonderful frontier character iu Woolscy. as well does it to me revive many skits with tine Apaches. My last fight was o1 the Cibicu, near Tonto Basin, and when we reached San Carlos I and fourteen other troopers were mustered out. My health is rapidly declining, and before Father Time clicks his eternal nam mer. I want the old rifle to go into hands which will tenderly care for 1t.
 "P. S.-Woolsey was condemned by many Arizonans and viciously attack cd in the Eastern press for heading the celebrated Pinole treaty, in which los Indians were killed by poison and the bullet. This took place southeas, of Prescott about sixty miles, and from my viewpoint, want to approve of the slaughter, as well as to lift my hat to Mir. Woolsey and the other Hassayampers wno made fine clean tip at the right time

TUNGSTEN SCARS
 TO FABULOUS PRICE
(From Fridays Daily.)


 Mining men who were inclined to believe that the price of S45 per unit for tungsten of grade of 60 per cent, was purely fictitious valuation, will be surprised to learn that yester- day Frank L. Carlisle of Pittsburg, who is now in Prescott, received a telegram from steel firms in that city making arf offer of S55 per unit for the above metal, on the basis of 60 per cent product of ore or concen- trate.
 Information was also given in tne telegram that lower percentage of tungsten ore would be paid for at . proportionate valuation. The inter esting feature of the receipt of this news was that Mir Carlisle was au- thorized to close purchases of any tonnage that might be secured in this field of tungsten ores, which has a wide range in carrying those products known as wolframite, sheelite, hub nerite or ferberite. Any tonnage will be received, even to a carload, and funds are available to meet any con signments.
 The above quotation is on a basis of S55 payment for but 20 pounds of this metal in its native condition on the percentage above specified.
 MT. Carlisle handled the hubneri.e product shipped from the mines cf Wood. Lawler & Co1nors over two months ago to the Pittsburg market, for which was paid net price of near ly 5000 for lot of about $40 pounds of the raw ore.
 George Thompson of Tip Top dis trict, also sold to a Denver firm, his two tons of tungsten ore on basis of SAP per unit less than two weeks ago, for which he received $4.000, on a basis of 60 per cent product. Had hc withheld his shipment until the present time the gross sum received would have reached to over S5,5O0. It is intimated that even a higher price than $55 per unit will be reach cd in reasonable time.

CALIFORNIA E. M.
 FINISHES INSPECTION TRIP
(From Thursdays Daily.)

r. F. Crawford, E. M., of California, who is the manager of the Marcus Daley estate, well known and very prominent n mining circles. mas just concluded a trip of inspection in the McCabe section. It is understood tha: operations of magnitude are on tap in the Big Bug district, and within the coming year a great revival can be expected ty the reopening of sev- eral of now dormant but past pro- ducers.
 Although the engineer and the men he has been dealing with are reticent, it is understood that big deal has been partially closed. The visit oi Crawford to the mines in this section is very significant, as the Daley es- tate is said to be second only to the Clark and Guggenneim interests in the copper field.

far from the shaft. Some of this ore Is carrying values as hign as S327 Ter ton. A depth of about 225 feet has been reached on this vein. and the width of the ore shoot has increased to something like one foot. It is evident that this shallow work Is go- ing to give the Ivanhoe a source of revenue before its shaft reaches the 5OO-foot point, wnere extensive lateral explorations will be started.
 The Fessenden, which is still driy- ing its shaft downward with the 800 foot point as its object. added to the excitement of the camp by cutting a stringer of calcerous quartz showing Sl9 values.
 Big Deals Are Pending.
 Aside from the above financial anG physical conditions of interest in the camp at this time, there are several somewhat large financial deals pend ing One of them has to do with the acquisition of a property which lies along side of one of the producers Philadelphia capital will probably be interested in this deal Charles F. Knox, president of the big Montana Tonopah Mining Company, is now in New York, and is probably near the completion of a deal whereby his as. sociates will acquire a big block or ground in very desirable part of the district. and will start extensive development of the property as soon as the deal goes through.
 At least i've of the attractive look. ing blocks of ground lying close in, and which to date have not been the scene of any extensive developments, will within the next few weeks. De the scene of much activity. It has been given out that finances of the companies owning these pieces of ground have been taken hold of by men who are able to guarantee ex- te1sive developments over long per iod of time. As these deals are ac- tually completed the details will be made public.
 On account of new financial and physical developments the people of the district are more excited and opti- mistic than at any previous time dur ing the history of the camp. Sever al properties have carried through developments to point where the ore will be exposed almost any day, and these potential developments add to the excitement. Stirring news may be expected from the district at any time.

 LAST ACT OF SINGER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Ben Butler. for many years resi- dent or Phoenix. and who in early days made this city his home. passed away on Sunday, after an illness of long duration due to Bright's disease.
 Butler established the popularly known Cob Web cafe in Prescott iu the '70s. and enjoyed lucrative busi- ness. He was gifted with a splendid tenor voice. and when the Great Western Minstrel troupe was formed in this city. and started on its Ali zona tour, the deceased was at the head of this organization. Success followed their entry into every town 1T the old territory, when they ven tured ;nto Sonora. At Hermosillo they were in the center of a revolr- ton and the venture collapsed. But Ter hiked back several hundred miles to Tucson. where ne got his first fin ancial start in singing in a public house. He then located in Phoenix. where ne prospered. He made Pres. colt regular Summer visits for many years, and enjoyed mingling with other pioneers.
 Among the survivors of the Great Western aggregation, are only two known, Geo. w. Sines, who remains Prescottite. and Leonard D. Sivy=r, the well known mining engineer who resides in Los Angeles.

These were big boned Durham steers, and as they had fine blue grass, in addition to corn. they made a big gain in weight, three pounds per day. Figuring the gain on the hogs which followed them, the feeder says the feeding venture made good profit.

AS IN COLORADO so
 MAY IT BE IN ARIZONA
(Erom ThursdaY's DaiIyl

(From Thursdays Daily.) What may be termed mineraloai- cal coincidence in the relation of tha ore conditions of the famously known Colonel Sellars mine Of Colorado. and the Loma Prietta of Copper Basin, rear Prescott. is convincingly reveal ed ill an examination of both pro ducts, which are identical in character by each combining very fine grade of the cnalco-pyrite.
 There Is 10 distinction between the two from a geological standpoint, out from their mineral Lea:inS abilities they are widely 3epafatcd. The Or oncl Sellars is an exclusive gold orc, while the Loma Prietta carries only copper.
 From a general mining standpoint, the Interesting situation develops that it was John Livezey who made Colo rado famous in bringing lis ',oionel Sellars gold mine into nationwide prominence several years ago. aad 1t is but reasonable to anticipate at this particular time he will again make mining history in bringing his Loma Prietta copper into a very high stand ard of future consideration from what mas recently been determined in mak- ing one of tie biggest strikes in or out of this field. In fact. there is now hut little doubt as to the immense possibilities of the Copper Basin property. The character cf the chal co-pyrite developed in shaft of o'ly 30 feet deep, so far as exploration has been given. shows an eight-foot solid ore body, carrying the astounding values of Sl00 per ton, with copper based on a market valuation of 20 cents per pound. This is revelation in this class of mining that IS without a counterpart in this or any ot1ec sec tion of the State. when is taken ir:o consideration the depth reached,
 That the sulpnide zone is being ap- preached is strongly indicated by the emissions of water from below. show ing a dense coloring of black, ami which it is believed after being an alyzed, will undoubtedly prove to Dc the base of a mineral condition of per manency as well as of attractive val ues, i1 the sulphides that arc evident.
 "Oatman Fever"
 A well known mining man of this city stated yesterday: There IS a splendid asset now available in Yava- pal in what has been proven in Cop per Basin on the Loma Prietta, and the Oatman fever will innoculate this field. but not along lines of wild rush-in. Capital in practical hands will now become appreciative of the wonderful mineral resources of this county. in the explored as we'll as thc unexplored regions. and it is my be- lief there are scores of properties that will attract investors to pursue sys tenn Of deep development. The Little Daisy, the Blue Bell, the DeSoto, the Nelson. the Eureka and others reflect the advantages of thorough effor:. among the newly made mines of Iav- apai. There are others to come, a1d I candidly believe the Loma Prietta strike but simply sets the pace for the wonderful possibilities that are rap idly advancing

The resolutions express the be- lief that the Allies should amend their treatment of goods exported from Japan.
 "The treaties between Japan and England or France are not impartial the resolutions read, Gin that there are fewer preferential tariffs on the other side than this. Such partiality should be corrected. Betweeen Rus sia and Japan there are no preferen- tial tariff arrangements; therefore, these arrangements should be made.
 "Regarding the preferential tariffs between one of the Allies and it's Dominions, it is desirable tha' no Power of the Allies should establish preferential tariffs with it's Dominlons lest Japanese export trade be adver- sey affected"
 The latter resolution evidently was voted with an eye to the preference extended to British goods by Canata and Australia.
 Following is a suggestion made by the congress to British chambers of commerce:
 Japan and Great Britain are CO., operating to gain mutual benefits. The British trade orders should be carried out less vigorously, and the British chambers of commerce are asked to exert their influence to the end that only luxuries are included in the list of prohibited imports" . It is suggested to the Petrograd Chamber of Commerce that this body, in view of the especially friendly rela- tions that exist today between Russia and Japan, take steps to remove the present obstacles to trade between the two nations. It is stated that the Russian ban on imports affects Jap anese commerce to a considerable de- gree.
 Copies of the resolutions have been sent all the Allied nations

 WANT LOW TARIFF
 BETWEEN THE ALLIES

TOKYO, Oct. 3.-After the var the Allies should have a uniform, compar- atively low tariff wall for the rest of the world, according to resolutions adopted at the annual congress of the Associated Chambers of Com merce of Japan whose meeting mas adjourned at Tokyo.
 The congress endorsed the war time measures proposed by the Paris Economic Conference, but expressed new desires as to the post-beIIum policy.
 "As regards post-bellum measures, the Entente Allies should protect themselves against commercial az gression by tariffs and other means and promote economic relations among themselves" state the resolu- tions. "For this purpose the Allies should freely open their national re- sources to each other, and should re- frain from preferential policy in the matter of import duties so far as the Allies themselves are concerned.'
