BILLY MACK
STOCK SOLD
EASTERN CAPITALISTS BUYING
ALL STOCK IN THE MINE AT
SO 1-3 CENTS PER SHARE
DEEP SHAFT TO BE SUNK.

After several months OF more or
less inactivity and financial viclssl-
tudes, the Billy Mack mine this week
passed into the hands of Wichita,
Kan, and Chicago parties, who, it
is claimed, are financially capable OF
developing this famous old producer
as it should be developed.
Headed by d. l.. Condit and A. L..
Daisy, two practical mining engin-
GERS, a party of eastern investors
arrived here Sunday night, and spent
several days examining the mine. On
Tuesday the parties tied up the con-
trolling stock in the Billy Mack Min
ing company by making an initial
payment of $4,000 on the stock owned
by Billy Mack. Attorney w. w.
Dunbar was sent to Yuma to examine
the records. and upon his report OF
cl4ar title the balance of the
purchase price, of the stock will be
paid over
All the stock in the company is
being bought up by the new owners
at SO 1-3 cents per share. Operations
are to begin Immediately. It is said
that a deep working shaft will be
nut down to water level, and that ap-
rrcximately $4,000 will be expended
in development before any effort will
be made to take out ore for ship
ment.
This property from surface work
ings has produced about $200,000 in
gold and the indications are that
with proper underground develop
ment, it will rank with the best gold
mines in Arizona.

OF COLORADO
BILL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
STORAGE RESERVOIRS TO BE
INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
DURING PRESENT SESSION.

PRESCOTT, May 4-C. T. Byrd.
attorney in the legal division of the
United States reclamation service,
arrived in Prescott yesterday from
Kingman, where he spent several
days gathering data regarding the
available flow of the Colorado river
and it's tributaries, the amount OF
water filed upon and used and other
details not to be found in State re-
cords
According to Byrd, the present
state administration has been so in
active in water legislation, that the
government has decided that the only
way to conserve the flood waters of
the rivers and tc prevent damage to
property during ra ny seasons is to
take the matter UP without the as
sistance of the state.
Byrd's information is to be used in
the framing of a measure to provide
for the construction of dams for the
storage OF water for irrigation pur-
poses. The reclamation service plans
to submit the proposed bill to con-
gress during the present session in
order that an appropriation may be
secured at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Byrd said yesterday that the ser
vice believes that by the construc-
ton of dams and reservoirs to care
for the flood waters of the Colorado
and its tributaries, it can prevent to
a great extent disastrous floods, and
also store a large supply of water
which would otherwise go to waste,
for irrigation purposes.
The flow of the Little Colorado
river has been several times covered
by filings, said Byrd, but only a small
part of the flow Is actually used
Much of this water is filed on by
large corporations which never use it,
he said, and there is nothing in the
present state laws to force these in
terests to either reilnquish their fill
lngs or make use of the water.

A BooTLEGGER NABBED.

Peter Moro, a big, husky individ-
ual who has been hereabouts for a
month or more, was arrested at
Swansea last Sunday by Deputy Sher-
ifs w. c. Despair and Henry Bandy
OF Bouse, ON charge of bootlegging,
and on Monday taken before Justice
A. G. Grossman at Quartzsite, who
fixed his bond at 81 900 for his ap-
pearance before the superior court
In default of the required surety
Sheriff Greenleaf came after the pris-
oner and took him to the county jail
at Yuma The evidence against
Moro is said to be very strong.
Moro's actions were such as to ex
cite suspicion the moment he land
ed here. He was very conspicuous

loud-mouthed talk of easy money
without work, delighting with child
ish vanity in unduly displaying Quan-
titles of ready cash, while his busi-
ness, if he had any seemed very
negligible, so his movements were
closely watched by the officers His
room here was searched during his
temporary absence and sixteen bot
ties of "Cedarbrook" whiskey found
therein. These were all carefully
marked by the officer and left in
place. Later. at Swansea, he was
seen carrying a roll OF bedding and
suit case from the depot to his
room and these were so heavy that
he was obliged to make two trips.
Finally an individual, seen with a
bottle of whiskey, was taken IN
charge and he confessed to the Off
Ger that he had just bought the IL
quor from Moro, paying him S.
therefor. An examination of the
bottle showed the private mark plac-
ed thereon by the officer, as above
stated, sc it was held as evidence
against Moro.

HAS A STREAK OF LUCK

According to the BarstoW Printer,
Jiln Wall, a former resident of Par
k9r and we'll known in this locality,
has come into a streak of good luck.
Wall and E. Meyers, the account
goes on to say, had gold claims,
some of them more or less
ancient; yet this did not keep them
from working with the firm determin-
alton that they would make mine
or bust a tug At one hole in par
ticular, they encountered a peculiar,
dark green-gray rock which seemed
much heavier than the characteristic
vein matter of the district. They
had an assay made of the rock and
found that it contained 8 to per
cent tungsten Capitalists, represen-
ted by Joseph Zanini, liking the
cooks of the find, made it's owners an
offer Messrs Meyers and Wall
did not care to part with their gold
property, so fixed their price at S10.-
900, full payment to be made within
20 days What must have been their
surprise, then, when, without parley
they were paid $1,000 on the spot,
and the property taken over subject
to a second payment. This payment
was made April 21, and Immediately
there after the new owners wired Mr..
Zanini to take full management of
their holdings, which consists OF
eight mining claims

"B'AH" HUNT
BEAMiNG VISIONS BLASTED BY
A HOGGlSH REALtTY-iT WAS A
POOH.RAH INSTEAD OF A "SOW4
a'AH"-HuNTERs MUCH VExEp.

Constable John Roberts had some
thing unusual in the line Of official
duty last Sunday morning when he
received telephone message from
Peter Tisdale, the engineer for the
Santa Fe pumping plant down at the
bridge, to the effect that there was
a bear in the bushes down there and
to come down quick and arrest him
forthwith,
1t seems that Tisdale had for
some time past been catching
glimpses of what he thought was
bear on the other side of the river,
but on the morning in question there
could be no mistake about it, for he
saw bruin as he was in the act OF
taking his morning bath, and had a
good look at him; saw him after he
had lolled in the soothing waters, steI
up on the bank, stand on his "hlnds'
and shake the dripping water from
his glossy fur. In fact he took
such careful survey of the creature
that he concluded it was 'she" in
stead of a ''he," or, what Georgia
cracker, from the land of hog and
nominy, would term, SOW bah. :"
That it had a lair in the immediate
vicinity, he believed, and there were
undoubtedly good prospects for lit
ter of cubs in the near future. But
she was razor -backed-pOOr as Jobs
turkey-and, unless she rafded stock
ranches, she was wholly without
visible means of support" and there
fore delinquent, subject to arrest
under the provisions of the yag act,

hence the necessity for an officer Of

Roberts thought, when he heard
the story, it would be a capital idea
to capture the animal alive, for,
with the increase, Parker would
soon have the nucleus for zoo-the
only thing needed to make this place
attractive to tourists and pleasure
seekers. So he hurridly summoned
tc his assistance B. B. Brown, ]. G.
