BIG DEALS YESTERDAY FOR
 GOLD MINES
J. H. FORBES, OF JERSEY LILY. AND ]. H. CROSS, OF CROOK CANYON SELL TO ONE COMPANY OF ST. LOUIS.
(FYom Tuesdays Daily.)

Two important deals for gold mines within a short distance of Prescott were closed yesterday on telegraphic instructions from St Louis, one being the group of six claims owned by J. A. Forbes, in Hassayampa district, and the other that of J. H. Cross, in Crook canyon of nine claims. Nego- tiations in both deals had been under way for many months, and to D. NJ. Loccy, of the Loccy-Pabst Gold Mines, which is successfully operating the Union in Chaparral, the credit is due for bringing both properties into a state of future extensive operations
 Both the Cross and the Forbes holdings long ago passed out of the rating of prospects and are established as substantial producers In taking an option on the Forbes over one year ago, Mir. Loccy secured the services of w. \. Parish, an authority in mine engineering, before deciding to be- come interested. and on the favorable report made the deal is at last con summatcd Another high class min ing authority who has approved oi outlaying a large development fund for this property is (. J. Price, who made an examination last week. He was formerly with the famous Home. stake of Lead, s. D.
 The Cross tor several years has been productive, but on a curtailcd scale, due to its limited operating ia cilitics. The ore bodies exposed are of heavy tonnage, while the gold values carried are exceptionally high.
 Immediate action begins on the Cross holdings. Camp buildings arc to be erected, a new road Is to be built from the Bodic.camp and mod ern mill is to be installed to supplant the crude little arastra. To jointly operate both properties, Mir. Loccy and Mir. Pabst are to become inter- estcd in a new company now being organized, and with capital sufficient to carry out development; as author izcd by engineers.
 The consideration in each deal is reported to be quite heavy, in which a first cash payment is to be made al once. The large line of surface i'm provcments decided on for both camps will be rushed, in view of Winter ap- preaching to disturb freighting in and out.

VIRGINIANS ARE ON TRIAL.
Resisting Draft Law and Fomenting
Rebellion Charged.

Big Stone Gap, Va, Aug. 12.-
Trial of VIM, v. Mccoy and John W..
Phipps, mountaineers, on the charge
Of high treason, will begin in the
United States District Court here to-
morrow morning. The defendants
are charged specifically with recruit
ing an army to make war on the Uni
ted States, fomenting rebellion, re-
sisting the conscription law and con-
spring to seize United States prop
erty.
Phipps and Mccoy were arrested
on May 27, 1917, by Virginia guards
men and government agents after,
it is alleged, they had recruited and
organized mountain clan of 800 for
the purpose Of oyerthrowing the mill
tary guard stationed in Wise county,
seize their arms, murder wealthy land
owners In the mountain section and
divide the property seized among
the 'clansmen. Governor Stuart was
selected as one of the victims of the
alleged gang. Indictments in six
counts were returned against Mccoy
and Phipps at the June term Of the
United States Court in Roanoke, and
the hearing tomorrow will .be before
Judge Henry G. Mcdowell. Every
precaution has been taken by the au-
thorities to suppress any outbreak Of
the friends Of the accused when the
trial opens.
While opposition to conscription
figured in the plot alleged to have
been fomented by Mccoy, socialistic
idioms are said to have been the
basic principle involved, "the declar-
alton Of war" which officials say was
issued by the leaders of the clan de-
claring that "the country Is ours and
all therein" The oath administered
to the recruits, it is charged, pledged,
among other things, that the signer
would Submit to the separation Of
his head from his body" before vio-
lating the oath.
Mccoy is a member of family
made famous by the Hatfield Mccoy
feuds Of some 20 years ago, while
Phipps is said to be typical noun
taineer.
