BIG CATTLE DEAL.
CONSUMMATEO

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb "a $780,, :
900 cattle deal was consummated here
this week between j. II. Stephens of
Prescott and Guy Shultz and c. P. Null
len of Tempe, whereby the two latter
named parties take over all of the large
Stephens interests in this county An
initial payment of $4,000 was made on
the proposition, and it is understood
that the future payments must be made
in a short time. In this connection the
new proprietors expect to establish in
connection with the Toohey ranch,
which is the ranch headquarters of the
interests a 5000 acre reclamation pro-
ject for the purpose of feeding the
range stock during the winter months.
The deal is the biggest land and cattle
deal ever consummated in this county
and gives the new interests property
that will run twenty miles in a single
direction in the western part of Yava-

WORK ON MAGMA CHIEF
IS PROGRESSING; NEW
MACHINERY AVAILABLE SOON

According to Charles A. Kumke, who
is in charge of the work at the Magma
Chief property, where he is directing a
force of approximately fifty men the
machinery ordered some time ago will
soon be available for use and work
will be carried on without cessation
developing the Watson vein.
Since publicity has been given to the
report written by the eminent Walter
Harvey Weed, interest in the property
has been general without the state
and numerous inquiries have come to
the officials concerning the definite
plan of development work, and
whether the recommendations made
by DR.. Weed will be acted upon. The
answer made by President Knight has
given the inquirers the information
they desired and the result has been
reflected in the market demand for
shares of the corporation
During the week a number of rep
resentatives of large mining interests
visited the Superior district and with
out exception they have paid visit to
the property of the Magma Chief. In
every instance expressions were made

PRODUCTION ON HERCULES

President Armstrong and Party Pay Visit to Manager
Addams

During the week Ray was paid a
visit by President Armstrong of the
Ray Hercules company and a number
of his business associates. With
Manager Adams they went over the
property and on Thursday night de-
parted for the coast. The group had
been in Phoenix for some days past
attending the hearing before the Cor
poration Commission relative to an
application which had previously been
made to fix the basis on which GER,
tain extensions of the Ray and Gila
Valley railroad would be ordered from
the present right of way of the rail
road to the Hercules property.
President Armstrong. expressed
himself as entirely pleased with the
affairs as he had found them and es-
pecially concerning the improvements
being made He refused to discuss
the general market conditions other
than to say that he was hopeful for a
rejuvenation of the bullish market af-

VALENTINE HOP At RAY CON CLUB
PROMISES TO BE BRILLIANT AFFAIR

The Valentine dance forthcoming at
the Ray Con Club next Wednesday
evening promises to be a big and en-
joyable function. The committee has
arranged a splendid program, which we
are told holds many surprises for
everyone who takes an active hand.
The affair is to be strictly a cos
tune e-masquerade party for those who
partake of the offerings of the evening;
and as previously announced, no one
will be permitted on the ball room floor
without donned costume and mask,
which rule will be enforced. 1t should
not prove a difficult task to tailor
yourself with an appropriate disguise
for this occasion, and everyone will
have so much fun as at the Halloween
ball. This was big success as we all
know. Just think of Hearts and Cupids
or something real comical. This is the
time to make a whole lot of fun for
yourself and friends and tantalizing
jokes exchanged would surely prove
humorous on this occasion.
OF course, it would not do to revail
now the nature of any of the big sur

Lead and Silver Properties
In Big Consolidation
BLOW KELVIN
SAFE BUT GET
NO MONEY

Safeblowers entered the posteffice at
Kelvin some time Monday night They
used nitroglycerine to blow the safe.
Quilts and comforts taken from the
general store of John Pascale, in the
same building, were wrapped around
the safe to deaden the sound. The
wrapping was soaked with vinegar
There was no money in the safe and
the burglars did not molest the few
stamps. Consequently they received
nothing for their labor
So carefully did the burglars prepare
for their work and so well was the
sound muffled that people living with
in one hundred yards of the postoffice
failed to hear the explosion and it was
not until the postmistress, Miss Lu-
crecia Pascale, went to the building
at seven o'clock in the morning that
Kelvin citizens knew they had had
some real burglars in their midst dur
ing the night.
Sheriff Hall was on the job at nine
o'clock, but no arrests have been made
in the case SO far. Sheriff Hall is of
the opinion that the work was that
of experienced yeggmen and is using
every effort to capture them.

JAMES POLLARD SUCCESSFUL IN
CONSUMMAT|NG LOCAL DEAL Of
MAGNITUDE; OETA|LSNtxI WEEK
New York Money Said to Be Secured to Make New Pro-
ducer for This District

Although the story has not been
definitely confirmed there is reliable
runner to the effect that consolida-
tion of the lead and silver properties
on the Ray Lead hill has been con-
sumated during the past week and
probably before this paper reaches it's
readers the details will have been
given to the public.
1t has been known for years that
this district houses the greatest de-
posit of lead and silver developed in
any mining field of the world up to
the present time, and there have been
numerous efforts on the part of great
these properties. Heretofore all such
efforts have failed but from the in
formation which has come to the Cop
per Camp it is now believed that the
properties already well developed will
be turned into the producing class.
James Pollard, well known in this
district, has been largely responsible
for the consummation of the transac-
ton and for the greater part of the
past ten days Mr.. Pollard has been
away from Ray in San Francisco, FL
Paso and Phoenix. During his alb
sence Dr. Walter Harvey Weed made
exhaustive examination of number
of properties on Mescal Mountain,
but which properties are to be made
a part of the consolidation and become
not known
The progress at the Ray Broken
Hill under the management of Frank
Schilling has been so satisfactory that
it is considered unlikely that this
property will be a part of the new
consolidation. 1t is natural to pre-
sumo that the Hoff property; which
for some time past has been in pro-
cess of development by Mr.. Pollard
will be a part of the new company, as
will also some part of the properties
owned by Tom Haley and Bill
Souffern.
From reliable source it is known
that DR.. Weed will be the consulting
engineer of the new organization. Our
same informant advises us that the
incorporation of the company will be
consummated at Phoenix either today
or the early part of next week.
The lead-silver properties passing
fro mthe development stage into the
shipping class will be good news for
all merchants and citizens interested

BRIDGE
PASSES SENATE

Phoenix Ariz., Feb. 9.-The state
senate has reported favorably in COM
mittee of the whole on the Florence
bridge bill, which carries an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the reconstruction of
a crossing over the Gila river opposite
the town of Florence. The state built
bridge over the river at this point in
1910, but last year during heavy floods
the river abandoned the old channel
and cut a new channel south of the
bridge, leaving the latter structure
high and dry to the north of the river.
Attempts to turn the river back again
into the original channel have proven
fruitless and the state is now prepar-
ing to extend the bridge over the river

JESSIE
To RESUME

PRESCOTT, Ariz, Feb 9.-The ia
nous Little Jessie gold mine is to re-
new operations, and they will be big
operations according to w. H. Jones,
superintendent of the mine, who has
just received the important informa-
tion that a syndicate of Cleveland, O.,
capitalists will finance the operations
Twenty years ago the water came into
the mine in greater quantities than
could be gotten rid of at that time
Since then various attempts have been
made to resume operations but unsuc-
cessfully. Now that the financing has
been attended to, and with improved
machinery the lower water Iogged
levels can be properly handled and i'm
provement can continue where it was
left off. The Little Jessie was at one
time a great producer of gold, and
made the Chaparral district famous.

He confirmed his testimony given
during the progress of the Corpora
ton Commission railroad matter hear
ing to the effect that the Hercules
company would ship approximately
1850 tons a day of the 5000, 900 tons
estimated to be the ore body of the
company. Production, however, could
not be started for at least fifteen to
eighteen months hence, he said. 1t
was this statement that caused con-
siderable interest in Ray at the time
it was made in Phoenix by President
Armstrong, the impression having
gained headway locally heretofore that
production would start at much
earlier date.
Manager Adams accompanied by
Mrs. Adams went as far as Phoenix
with the Armstrong party when they
left Ray, and then returned home
Friday.

Deputy Sheriff Charles Harris through
the breast bone and to his death. in
December, 1913, would have to suffer
the penalty of his crime, but because
of the interposition of the anti-capital

his days in the penitentiary. The zsu-

Harris was searching for box car

Garcia had taken refuge between the

The United States is on the verge of

Diplomatic relations were broken off
last Saturday, and any overt act on
the part of Germany, Who is waging a
ruthless submarine campaign against
all shipping, may cause President Will

States to protect American rights.
Ambassador Gerard is being detained
at Berlin by the German government
as a hostage to insure the safe return
of Bernstorff, the German ambassador
to the United States, who was handed
his passports last Saturday. Germany
also demands assurances that Ger

when they heard sputtering noise and
almost Immediately flames burst from

machine and having no extinguishers
on the car were forced to watch it burr,
Twenty gallons of gasoline in the
tank and the car was totally destroyed.
A broken gasoline line probably caused
the fire. Mr.. Rickerson only carried a

had just finished putting in new

hoped no one will draw nasty and
narrow conclusions in the enforcement
of this proper rule.
