BIG OPERATIONS TO
 BEGIN IN MINING
(From Fridays Daily.)

John Mahoney, IT,, of San Fran cisco, and c. T. Prentiss, of Los An geles, who have just concluded an ex- animation of the holdings of the Sil- yer Belt Consolidated near Humboldt expressed satisfaction in an emphatic
 manner yesterday over their invest
 ment.
 Mir. Mahoney, who was elected vice president of the company last Mon day, at special meeting held in Pres colt, said: With MT. Prentiss, I made a careful investigation during two days of our property, and with development given under the direc- ton of w. E. Paige, general manager, the proposition appeals to us as de- cidedly attractive. Funds are ready to prosecute any character Of dcvel- opment deemed expedient, and I feel so pleased over the outlook that I will make another visit to the proper ty in a short time"
 J. B. Dudley, also of San Francisco a heavy stockholder, and who during the past two months has made four trips to the Silver Belt, said: "Thc more often l come the better am I pleased, and in few weeks will again be back"
 While publicity was not given as what lines of operating are to be considered for the near future, it is inferred, however, that heavy out lay of capital will be made, and which IS warranted from determinations made in shaft sinking at the original point, and in general prospecting of the Assure for over a mile in length to limited depth. Several zones are exposed, the ore content of which shows an astounding mineral condi- ton, the values being silver and gold A significant matter linked to the Silver Belt now being in the hands of practical mining people with ample funds ready for disposition in deep mining, is that a rush of new locat- ors is going into that famed silver country, as we'll are several old prop critics shaping up for action immedi- ately. The reason is plain, silver is slowly and steadily advancing, and it is believed is coming back to stay.

THE HASSAYAMPA BREW OF MILK

FIRST MOVE MADE TO ES- TABLISH CREAMERY ON LANDS NEAR CITY NOW BEING COLONIZED.
(From Wednesday's Daily)

The practical manner in which col oniZation plans Of the Hassayampa Company are now being carried out near Jerome Junction, was shown yesterday when a large shipment of dairy cattle was received and unload ed, and the announcement, was made that the nucleus of creamery move ment had been initiated.
 This industry will be the first to be introduced in this or any other section of Northern Arizona and it is expected to be in operation early this Summer. Machinery for the plant, it is stated, has been ordered. Other large shipments of cattle of high grade rating will follow, and in keep ing with the principles of those who are earnestly and practically promot- ing this big land colonization under taking, nothing but a firmly built proposition in hands of skilled and competent people is to be enter tained.
 Some of the best known and most experienced farmers in Arizona arc patrons of this big land movement, and the establishment of quite a large colony indicates a strong and thrifty community as materialiZing. The creamery is but the first of many oth- CT manufacturing projects under con sidcration The Hassayampa brand of condensed milk will prove a tempt ing viand to the home when it is known to have been made in Yavapai.

MILLION IS PAID FOR
 THE HARQUA HALA MINE
(From Wednesdays Oaiiy.)

\ dispatch to the Denver Mining Record tells of the sale early in the month to the Guggcnheims of the HIarqua Hala bonanza mine for sum said to be in excess of Sl ,00O,0O0. II. William Stevens of this city is said to have negotiated the deal with Col oncl Daniel C. Jackling and Sccley w. Mudd, of the Ray Consolidated, Utah Chino and other companies.
 This news is regarded as the most important which ever broke in the Salomc section, with the possible cX- ccption of the discovery of the Glory Hole back in 1909.
 It was the requirement of an inter est in the United Eastern mine by Mudd and Jackling that'really started the Oatman boom That deal drew the attention of the world to Oatman, for Seelcy w. Mudd and D. C. Jack ling are numbered among the keen est, shrcwdcst mining men of the United States. Salome and the near by districts of Harqua Hala and Tank Pass are now looking forward to rush which may rival that of Oat- man. There are scores of properties around the Harqua Hala and m the Tank Pass region which have excel lent showings that can be developed at small expense.
 This is not a country of deep mines. The Harqua Hala, for instance, has produced over S5.000,000 worth o' gold all above the 400-foot level. Had it not been in the hands of closed syndicate which avoided publicity, it would be one of the famous gold mines of the country.
 Jackling and Mudd closed their deal with II. William Stevens who held the Harqua Hala under option from Tohn Martin, superintendent of the property, and his brother, Dr. Ancii Martin, of Phoenix. The Martins re- ceiyc S65OOOO- Stevens the remainder.

CUSTOM WORKS IN ACTION AT
 W|CKENbURG
SAMPLING MILL BEGINS
 TO GRIND, AND FULL PLANT NEARING COM PLETION; MINES BOOM.
(From Fridays Daiiy.l

The first unit of the new reduction works at Electromagnetic sampling mill-startcd in action few days ago on an accumulated product from mines adjacent that reached to sev- eral hundred tons.
 The amalgamating and concentrat- ing facilities are being placed in posi- tion and the entire plant completed in a few weeks.
 This new ore custom market will have a patronage from Yavapai coun- ty mines principally, which are situ- ated in the Constellation field Some idea of the magnitude of the mineral resources of that region may be in ferred from the capacity of the new plant which will treat a minimum of 50 tons in eight hours. No better in dex of the advance of the mining in- dustry in the above belt can be given than what is reflected by the heavy outlay of capital to open a market for many properties that arc entering the productive stage. Receipts of ore arc occasioning astonishment in number of mines represented and tonnage shown.
 Behind this movement arc Eastern capitalists, with Arthur l.. Garford. of Elyria, Ohio, as principal of the new company Mir. Garford, also is identified with mining in Cherry Creek district, as we'll is he interest," cd in several stock companies which are operating near Prescott. He is q millionaire manufacturer of Ohio and also enjoys Statewide promin- encc in business and political circles. The Wickcnburg plant is being con structed by Contractors White x Jett of this city.

YAVAPAI SHOULD HAVE
 A CRACK POLO CLUB
CFrom Thursdays Dai

Many labor under the impression that equestrian polo IS a rich man s game, which is proven to the contrary by it being adopted in army sporting circles, in which the officer and the enlisted man share alike in the pleas ure of this field recreation.
 While it IS true that Tn the East the game has had a preference by those of high financial standing, 1t should be borne in mind, howcvcr, that polo, if played in the West where cow ponies are readily obtainable, will form one of the most interesting and thrilling games in the Kingdom of sportdom. Hard and fearless riding is the most important requisite of the game, and in this respect there is abundant material to draw on from local ranges.
 Those interested in the formation of polo club for Yavapai county, are extremely desirous that all business and professional men attend the meet ing, which is to be held al the cham Der of commerce office on Friday evening, at o'clock. A special call has been sent out by Alfred Gale and Doc Pardec, to all Yavapai county cowboys to also be in attendance. IT the club is organized, as planned, polo will appear on the Frontier Days program as one of the stellar attrac- tiOns.

6 CASES ADDED TO
 CRIMINAL CALENDAR
(From Thmrsdav'S Dailv.)

County Attorney Mitchell from present indications, will have plenty to do this year. A few cases did not come to trial under the regime of P. w. O'Sullivan and these, together with a number more which have since arisen, will give the new official and his assistant, Neill Clark, an oppor- tunity to show their mettle.
 Just to show that he means busi- ness, County Attorney Mitchell yes terday filed informations against sev- cral alleged lawbreakers. In all ex- cept one instance, the defendants arc accused of violating the prohibition amendment. The exception is the case against J. l. Cashell, who is charged with grand larceny in stealing a neat animal. No, not a meat ami nal, but neat animal If you think this IS mistake, look up the defni- ton of the word. and it will afford considerable enlightenment. Anyway Cashell rests under the accusation of making away with a member of the bovine family belonging to Dern and Rabbit Bros, at or near Clarkdale on the 10th of December last. And what is more, he admits it and will plead guilty when he appears in the Superior court. CasheII, it seems. was employed at a wood camp near Clarkdale, but rebelling under the edict that man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, drew his wages and proceeded to spend the same. In short time he found him self in the same position as the prodf- gal son, would fain have fed his belly with the husks the swine did eat" But alas and alack, there were no husks in sight. and so that modus operandi of replenishing the inner man was not available Unfortunately for both Cashell and the COW, a moving beef encountered his vision. What more natural then than he should slaughter the same and fill his pock- etbook with something more than a vacuum. That was what happened,

ANOTHER ACTIVE
 CAMP NEAR WALKER
(From Thursdays Daily

VT lpii HUT SQdy Dally.l
 What has every indication of being a successfully operated mine is the Last Chance of Walker district, which started up few days ago with a new power equipment. Sinking Is now under way. The plant was intro duced after work had progressed for several months in thoroughly pros pccting the property. The original development had reached to a depth of less than 100 feet, and detcrmina- tons being satisfactory, C. Benjamin Hayes, the sole owner, concluded to outlay several thousand dollars to ex- plore to depth.
 Arrivals in Prescott yesterday stat ed this new proposition Is assuming very much interest in mining circles, hrst, for the reason that the plant is of exceptional interest in its smooth action, and its modern make; and second, the mines makes an attractive showing to the depth reached.
 Mir. Hayes stated to friends that plans for sinking to the 300-foot level are definitely closed Probably dur ing the early Summer shipping of the product may be considered, but this matter is of secondary importance at the present time. Miners Tn the city from that camp are of the belief that before a year passes the Last Chance will take up the question of placing a reduction plant on the ground. Un- derground conditions would indicate that such move will be found neces- sary in due time.

MONEY IS READY
 FOR MINING BUILDING
(From Wednesdays DailyD


 TUCSON, Jan. 9s-Dr. R. B. Won KleinSmid, president of the Univcr- sity of Arizona, recently went to Phoenix for the purpose of depositing with the State treasurer the sum oi &5,0O0, which is to be used in the building of the new home for the mining engineering departments of the university.
 The last legislature appropriated N5 GOO towards a new mining build ing, provided that like sum be rais- ed from outside sources, and the min ing companies of the State according ly donated Sl00000 for this building, divided in proportion to their output. The building itself will cost in the neighborhood of Sl500O0, the re- maining S25,O00 to be used for equip ment.
 In addition to this, Dr. Von Klein Smid recently stated that he had been assured of number of private contri- buttons which will enable the univer- sity to put in one of the finest equip ments of its kind in the country.
 On December 18th the architects competition for the plans of the new building closed, and after due consid- eration, the plans of John B. Lyman, Jr., of San Diego, were selected by the board of regents, upon the rec ommendation of the faculty of the college of Mines and Engineering It IS rather remarkable, and shows the ability of the architect, that Mir. Ly- man was the winner from Is other competitors in the contest for the az riculturc building, which was recently completed, and was the winner from IA other competitors for the mining building. His plans had the unanim- ous endorsement Of the faculty.
 Ground will be turned for the build ing within short time, and 1t is an ticipated that the laboratories and shops will be completed ready for oc- cupancy by the opening of the next college year.
 The new stone wall covering over l 400 feet Of the Park avenue side of the university campus is completed. and stands as a monument to the generosity of the citizens of Tucson.
 For many years the wooden and pine fence on the front of the campus has been somewhat of an eye-sorc. Accordingly short time ago a buy a. a-foot-of-fence" day was started. and sufficient money was raised to en- courage the university authorities to start the fence. Many hundreds of people bought a foot or more of the fence, and while the amount needed has not yet been raised, the chamber of commerce has assured the univer- sity that the balance will be taken care of promptly.
 The university is greatly indebted to Dr. D. T. MacDougal of the Car negie foundation who furnished the stone for the fence, making the actual cost of the fence that of putting it up.

(From Fridays Daily.)

Some of the towns in this county will soon have to pork up and take notice of Mayer or that town will be- come so chesty that there will be no living with her, as 1t were.
 Of course it has generally been known that Mayer was enjoying a period of prosperity like unto, or even greater than "thc good old days" of which the old-timer loves to tell. but who thought for a minute that her prosperity had reached that degree which required the establishment of q bank? Yep, Mayer is to have q real bank with all the fxins' and trim mings which go with such an institu- ton and its name will be The Mayer State Bank.
 Articles of incorporation have been drafted and the legal requirements preliminary to the issuance of char ter have all been complied with, so it will not be very long before the in stitution will have its doors open and be doing business.
 According to the articles of incor- poration Richard Lamson, of the law firm of Hawkins & Lamson, and II. w. Ulmo are the incorporators. They are. of course. merely dummies, the real parties back of the enterprise being the principal stockholders of the Big Ledge Mining and Develop ment Company, which has mines near that town, and shelter almost ready to be blown in, within the town. The capital stock is S25,000 divided into 250 shares of the par value of S100 each.

FIERCE COMBAT
 BETWEEN MAN AND LION
(From Thursdays Oailv)


 Arrivals yesterday from Ash Fork give particulars of an unusual affair which occurred on Monday at sheep camp near Rock Butte in which mixup took place between Labon Luera, foreman of the range of Colin Campbell, and huge mountain lion.
 It seems that the beast was killing many sheep, and returning to the camp Luera went inside of tent to secure a rifle, when to his surprise he stood face to face with the beast. Picking up a small hatchct the com- bat followed. The first stroke broke a leg of the lion. and in few seconds its head was hit with sufficient force to knock 1t unconscious. In the fight, however, Luera was badly cut up on the arms and body, and return ing to Ash Fork he secured medical and disposed of his trophy to Winchester DickerSon. Lucra stated that the lion looked as large as an elephant, and was dcvouring side of mutton that was to be cooked that night. It showed fight at once, and | he considers himself as extremely for tunate in escaping with minor in | iuries. The lion measured nine feet, | two inches from tip to tip. and had ! lilled ten head of sheep on the range.

Cashell not being troubled by the moral or legal aspect of his act at that time. The owners, however, took an entirely different view of the trans action, with the result that one more name was added to the membership roll in the county jail.
 Phil Radovich, alias F. J. Murphy, by information IS accused of import ing 20 gallons Of whiskey from that wet State of California into the dry, arid, prohibition zone of Arizona, all of which is against the amendment in such cases made and provided. and contrary to and not in consonance with the peace and dignity Of the people of this commonwealth. Or course there IS no way of passing upon the merits of the case before it comes to trial, but it is dollars to doughnuts that any man by the name of Radovich who goes under the alias of Murphy, will be viewed by jury with suspicion, particularly ii there are any Hibernians among the l2 men good and true.
 John Jakonovich only brought in ten gallons of whiskey, according to the accusation lodged against him. He also had an alias, whatever that IS, his other cognomen being E. l.. Miller.

 ] KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS. | Cattle closed last week Is to 25 higher all around, and a supply of ' 1000 head today was not big enough to start a decline. sales steady to strong, nothing prime offered. top S109O. Hogs exhibited strength most of last week, and added 10 to l5 cents today. top 5000. receipts 10000. Sheep and lambs sold shade strong CT, lambs Sl3.S0, ewes S9.25, receipts 10000.
 Beef Cattle.
 Prime beef steers reached $11.50 twice last week, and are steady to- day. but the best here sold at S10oO, other sales around $1050. Short fed steers sell from $S.5O upwards Three Colorado arrived, just fair, l.lS0 pounds, and sold at S9.S0. Steers from the same district considered feeders by the shipper were sold to killers, some weighing l,l30 pounds at S940, others 1000 pounds at So. Killers offer strong competition on anything with flesh. New Mexico steers went to the killers at SS.25, barely starting to gain flesh Cows sell up to So, common canners at S5.25 to S575, bulls S575 to S.50, veals up to Sll.50
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Demand cleaned up the supply closely last week, and at an advance of around a quarter for the week. Strong prices the first week in Janu- ary are unusual, but high prices for killing cattle make stockmen eager to invest. Good feeders bring SS to So, and get competition from killers as we'll as country buyers, stock steers 650 to SS.5O. Sales today were at a slight advance over last week.
 Hogs.
 Values made a net advance last week, though not without fuctua- tions both ways. The market was 10 to Is higher today. but the supply had nothing choice, else a top of Sl065 or more would have been made. Nu- merous sales of both heavy and medium weights were made at 5000, and bulk of sales ranged from S10 to 5000, light weights up 70 slO.40, pigs SS.5O to S9.25. Demand is strong from killers everywhere, and lighter. average weights indicates close mar <eting. with possibility or shrinking receipts in the near future, some thing the packers fear, hence their lnXiety to accumulate stocks of meat.
