NEW OPERATORS HAVE BONANZA
 ZINC MINE
OLD EUREKA DISTRICT PROPERTY, LONG IDLE, BY NEW DEVELOPMENT AXES REMARKABLE DETERMINATIONS.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

What has every indication of being one of the biggest mining proposi- tions in this county, is that new move ment centered to reviving the cele- brated Copper King in Eureka dis trict, in which r. u. Gillespie and T. K. Buell. figure as the operators. Their initial work is receiving whole some commendation among owners in that field, and the outcome of new development shows zinc property which IS probably without a parallel n the West The content runs to as nigh as 50 per cent, and the fact of the group being distant over 30 miles from a railroad shows that this trans portation handicap is offset by abso- lute mineral conditions prevailing of an exceptional character
 MesSrs. Gillespie and Buell. are go ing ahead energetically. The mine has been equipped with a new hoist, and an air compressor is going in. Production already is heavy in ton mage and the output IS being piled mp. to be shipped to market later. The past history of this particular prop erty dates back to over 30 years ago. when 1t was prospected, by its former owner, John Lawler, deceased, but further development was abandoned owing to the low price of the metal it carried. Many mining men in re cent years endeavored to secure the property, but conditions were too ex- acting, until the above mining men took hold. Arrivals recently from the field where the Copper King is situ- ated, state there is now kecnly mani tested a changed feeling over that zone, and other mines which have laid dormant are ready to wheel into line.

TWO MEN KILLED
 ON THE MAIN LINE
(From Thu:sdayis Daiiy.)

(From Thu:sdayis Daiiy.)
 Two men, names unknown here, were hurled to their death when struck by an eastbound freight on a curve near the Yavapai- Coconino line on the Santa Fe yesterday morn ing. One of the men, a section fore man, lived to be brought to Ash Fork, but died there as a result of his ter rible injuries. The other, Mexican section hand, was killed outright.
 According to the story reaching Ash Fork about the tragedy, they had been working on the track, which is sharply curved at that point, and lies in deep cut. They heard the train approaching and stepped from the track they thought it was on to the one they thought was clear. The train roared around the bend and caught them off their guard.
 The foreman, it was learned, had just sent his family East to his wife's people and was intending to go in a day or two and stay with them until called to the colors.

NARROW ESCAPE HAD
 ENGINEER PENTLAND
(Prom Fridays Daily.(

Wilmot Pentland, an engineer oI the $. F. P. & P., was dangerously in jured yesterday afternoon at about o'clock in an unfortunate accident on the road between Skull and Kirkland valleys, while making repairs, and later was brought to Prescott to re- ceive medical attention, being placed in Mercy hospital.
 He had stopped his engine, and in some manner not known the steam chest released itself, throwing the main driving rod against the back of his neck, knocking him to the ground in an unconscious state. His collar bone also was broken, and besides he sustained other injuries.
 Fortunately Dr. J. B. McNally was on the passenger train coming to Prescott, and through prompt profes- sional attention, Mir Pentland was soon revived and regained his mental faculties. Although his condition was said to be serious it is believed, how ever he will recover.
 Pentland's escape from instant death is considered as miraculous.

POCAHONTAS ID BEGIN LARGE
 OPERATIONS.
NEW MACHINERY TO BE INSTALLED FOR DEEP MINING AND FLOTATION WORKS TO BE INTRO DUCED VERY SOON.
lFrom Sundays Dailyl

l An elaborate plan Of operating is to begin immediately by the Pdcahontas Gold Mining Co.,. which has valuable holdings near Mayer. Announcement of plans having been closed was made yesterday by W. II. Skinner. the president, who has re- turned from the East after consulting with stockholders and buying equip ment for the large development de- cided upon. An air compressor to drive three drills will be the principal machinery, and the sinking of the main shaft from the 12S-foot level is the point decided upon for reaching great depth This action has a two fold interest. First. the ore content is abundant in tonnage assured. and second it has been determined in re- cent years by development to the north and south that the Pocahontas is on the contact of the Binghamton and the Blue Bell mines. both of high class rating.
 Mr. Skinner Is so sanguine over the outlook that his company has decided to install reduction plant, in which Notation is to be the principle of re- covery. Sufficient development in past years has been given, to warrant an additional heavy outlay and the passing of this old-timc property, known in early days as the White Spar, from prospect stage into the making of a permanent producing mine, is now admitted by mining peo- pie conversant with what has been conclusively proven. This IS to be one of the most important mining movements to take place in the Mayer field in very many years.

That the complacence of second hand dealers IS the cause of the mora ruin of several boys was the sensa- tional charge made at the sheriff office yesterday. Three more boy: have been arrested, charged with petty thicvery, and it is the firm beliet of the officers that the fact junk ana second hand dealers have been will ing to buy miscellaneous stuff iron the youngsters, is the reason they have gone into the industry.
 One of the boys arrested yesterday was Earl Raby, who stole from ( second hand store about six weeks ago, and was put on probation only recently. His companions, arrested yesterday were Walter 2igglcs and Skinny" Davis.
 The sheriff's office makes no bone: about it.
