Arrivals from Big Bug creek yes
 terday reported that deal had been
 closed for the Sterling mine by the
 Big Ledge Company. following cx-
 ploration for several weeks. The
 property is now being actively devcl- oped.
 The extension of the old tunnel which had reached a point over 700 feet on the vein has penetrated new ore zone. it is said, in which a copper glance product is exposed. This discovery indicates that the pri- mary zone is being entered. The sale and resumption of the Sterling arc occasioning very much interest in mining circles, the property being among the oldest in that field, being originally operated by a New York syndicate over a quarter of century ago as silver mine. It is situated near the mining camp town of Provi- dencc, and in the same mineral belt | as the Copper Dyke and First Home. both latter mines being active and in the shipping class. The expansion of the Big Ledge holdings to include the Sterling territory and the success in rcviving another old-timc group. | marks an important event for Big i Bug district, and gives to the holding another mineral unit which has heretofore enjoyed an attractive rating.

For several days reports have been in circulation that the Great Western
 Shelters Corporation had entered in-
 to negotiations to purchase all hold ings of the Mayer estate, and that a
 bonus of over S30OO0 to apply on the
 first payment had been rendered, and was now under consideration by Mrs
 Joseph Mayer and others of her
 family.
 A rumor prevailed yesterday after noon that satisfactory conclusion had been reached between seller and buyer, but this could not be confirm ed. The Mayer estate owns practical ly all of the town of Mayer, which is situated on Big Bug creek in an ad- mirablc location to command the growing business of large and active mining country The place has been built up through the efforts of the Mayors, and is now regarded as one of the most desirable communities in the country, in which an ideal climate prevails and business conditions arc firmly established.
 The company which desires to buy the town outright has its large shelter nearly ready to start mp, situated less than half mile from the main street. | The favorable conclusion of ncgoti- ations is anticipated by the Pugh | Company of Chicago. ! which has decided to locate there, and ! Is now arranging its business affairs accordingly.

WEDDING BELLS REMEMBERING

DIVORCE NOT SECURED BY WOMAN. IT IS AL LEGED, BEFORE SECOND MARRIAGE OCCURRED.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

It is a pious idea to be sure that you arc of with the old love" before you are "on with tine new" particu- larly if you are bound to the old love by marital ties.
 A recent marriage, in Prescott is now under investigation, not by the local authorities, but by man from the southern part of the State who is here gathering data, from which a prosecution for bigamy may result The party to the marriage who is said to have ignored the salient fact that no divorce had been secured, is said to be woman. She did not give her married, but her maiden name when the license was issued, thus indicating that she had severed the ties which bound her to the man to whom she was welded several years ago.
 It is possible that she secured a di- vorce in California, but this is not thought probable as she has. been in this State for the past two years or more and therefore would not have a legal residence there.
 Whether the man now here look ing up the records is representing the supposedly wrongcd husband, or is a government agent is not known as he is very sccretive concerning his mission and is giving out no informa- ton concerning himself or his mis- sion. If he locates the newlyweds, however, it is said that something sensational will happen.

 Negotiations which had been pend ing for few months between John $. Jones, owner Of the Union group of gold mines in Chaparral, and D. NJ. Loccy. who had been carrying out a line of extensive development, came to a satisfactory conclusion yesterday, the latter formally taking possession.
 Mir. Jones stated that the agree mcnt closed with Mr. Loccy was mu- tually satisfactory. and although withholding terms of the sale, ex- pressed himself, however, as pleased with the affairs of the Union for the future, from plans announced which will place the property in shape for a system of large operations, and with ample capital as assured.
 ''Thc sale of the Union has been the outcome of development carried out in which my objective has been successfully accomplished by Mir. Locey There is an excellent future for the property, and convincing proof that one of the most desirably rated gold holdings in Arizona has been established in exploration given by my successor. The new zones re- gently entered fulfill the predictions of engineers"
 Mir. Loccy said: ''I have taken over the group individually and will oper- ate on that basis solely. The deal has been harmoniously concluded and op- erations will being immediately under the new arrangements and with funds ready for broad line of deep devel- opment, Prompting this deal IS the outcome of exploration carried out so successfully in all underground workings, and specifically so at that point in a drift where winze was sunk. exposing an eight-foot ore body that averages over $100 in gold.

This zone will be the main operating center for the present, with the parallel vein also to be fully explored.

BREWERS, TO ESCAPE RUIN,
SEEK TO DIVORCE DIS1ILLERSl
But Midas Criterion Shows That Beer Is Anything Else Than
Temperance Beverage; Brewery Arguments Are
Actually Admission of Weakness.

The brewers are making desperate
efforts to secure a divorce from the
distillers. In Illinois they are SO
much in earnest about their plea for
separation that they have carried the
fight into the legislature That they
will not get this divorce without a
contest Is evident from the way in
which the distillers are striking back.
Here is what Midas Criterion.

Of the liquor trade, thinks of the
plea set up by the brewers that beer
Is temperance drink. Midas APP
peals to the drinking man and we
bell We that any drinking man who
is sober enough to think clearly will
sustain Midas in its condemnation of
beer. We quote:
The brewers continue to spend their
good money painting a perfectly beau
tlful halo arouid the foaming stein.
This campaign of innocence being
conducted by the brewers cannot
convince any drinking man. It is
aimed solely and purely at beguiIing
the public of non-drinkers who have
gathered under the banner Of Sahara.
The INSCRIPTIONS leaders must be the
saloon men who are in turn the prod =
uct of the brewery.
