Pioneer Pays Tribute To Jim Kirk, Builder OfSOuthWest, NOW Dead

know where Walter is at, but hope that he is still among us. Of our crowd of 16 men, Geronimo killed eleven, eleven of as good and true boys as ever pulled a trigger and l am the only one left Of the 16 dare deaths that were in the Basachuca and Oso Negro country in the good old days when we were all young and life was sweet. Of all of our crowd Bill Greene was the only one that killed an Apache. That happen ed in Canudancha on the Sonora riv- CT when the Indians killed George Watson. Bill Greene was the best and quickest Winchester shct that I ever saw. He wouldn't shoot at a deer until it was on the run and al- ways got the deer. l can write many thrilling experiences that we had in Sonora in 1SS5-S6-S7, and l intend to write up lot of the bad scrapes that We went through in that country and have them published so that the ten derfeet that are in there now kicking at bad conditions can see what bad conditions really are and stop their kicking My foster father, Jim Kirk, was one man in a million, under the most trying and dangerous '>ircum- stances he was always jovial and patient, and in all of the years that was with him l never knew him to lose his temper. Once when Jim and Greene were coming out with bunch of cattle, the great(?) Gen. Kostilizka came to the camp with his rangers and, being young and foolish, he ad- dressed Jim and asked, 'What'w would you do if I take these cattle away from you% It would be jst the same as if ycu committed suicide, was Jim's quiet reply. ], like Jim and Greene. went through all of the dan ger and didn't get scratch and when the Indians had gone and We were glad to throw our guns away, a greas- CT tried 10 kill me while l was asleep, by exploding powder under my pillow, and the explosion left me physically
 alf blind, totally deaf wreck to this day, and that happened on May the 24th, 1899, or 19 years ago on the 24th day of this month.
 The Apaches were more honorable than the varmint that attempted my life at night, for after sun down one was perfectly safe from the Apaches, but not so with the natives in that country. So one can see that We had all kinds of enemies to contend With, and not the least by any means, were the renegade Americans from this country.
 r-'rl borrow the words, and say: If all to whom he did some good would carry a wreath to his grave, he would sleep tonight beneath wilderness of flowers. and God bless Jim Kirk, for I thought more of him than any other man on earth.

MAYER VISITOR IN
 DISTRICT, PRAISES
 MINES OF YAVAPA|

F. W. Bower, a well-known mining operator of the Mayer, Arizona, dis trict, is in Bisbee for a few days on mining business. He is a thorough booster for that part of the mining in terests of the state.
 "We have a great deal of Bisbee capital interested in our Mayer sec tion," said Mir Bower "Of first i'm portance are the interests of the Phelps Dodge company which owns four mines, the Commercial, Senator, Boggs and the Blackberry. The first two named are steady producers of smelling ore. The Boggs and Hack berry mines are within three miles of Mayer and it is hoped that they too will soon become shippers again. Both of these mines were large producers from ten, to twenty years ago and it is known that there are large bodies of high grade ore left in the old work ings of each. The Phelps Dodge com pany has just recently had one of its field men over the Mayer district get ting new data on what might be ex- pected were the two old mines to be re-opened
 The most important strike of cop per ore made in the Mayer district for a long time occurred about two weeks ago on the Arizona Copper com pany's property which adjoins the Blackberry mine on the north. At the depth of 800 feet, Tense of ore nine feet wide was cut which can all go to the smelter This new strike is on the same strike as the Boggs and Blackberry mine. It naturally makes the owners of these two old proper ties think more of them for future work
 Mir Bower states that a good many of the best known mining engineers of the country are coming into the Mayer sectcion to look over the devel- oped properties of which there are now dozen or more. The formation is termed "Yavapai Schist" by the gov ernment geological survey Until very recently, it has been practically an un- known quantity for depth. But tho Blue Bell mine has a shaft down 10 the 1,209-foot level now and the devel- opment at that level has determined that the ere bodies extend that deep at least and the values are higher in cop per, gold and silver.
 'The character of our ore is for the most part chalcopyrite copper which is very emenable to the old Notation process" said Mir. Bower This pro- cess makes it possible to handle the low grade ores of the district at a good profit and the smelting class has an outbst at the Humboldt smelter which IS in the center of the district The entire section is blessed with good transportation facilities, plenty of water and an excellent climate.

NOTED LATIN KILLED

NEW YORK, May 1S.-In a fall of only fifty feet. Captain Antonio Resnati. famous Italian army aviator, was killed beneath the wreckage of a new Italian-made Caproni biplane at the Hazelhurt aviation field, Mineola, today.
 Resnati's machine "side-slipped" when the pilot attempted to make a turn too soon after leaving the ground. One wing struck the field and the craft overturned. falling upon the avi- ator and crushing him to death.
 Investigation by army airplane off cers, it was announced tonight, showed that there was nothing at fault with the plane. A rough spot on the ground from which the flight started. the in quiry board stated, slowed up the as- cent and when Resnati attempted to make a turn the machine lacked sui ficient momentum.
 Resnati, upon his own request, was taking the new plane on its maiden trip.

Eisbee, Messrs. w. A Tucker, James
 Smith and John Ross. came to Mayer
 last summer and took over the con
 trol of the Barbara mine on Copper mountain The money they expended in developing the property has opened very promising prospect which shows
 good commercial ore in a number of places. The owners, are planning on extensive work yet this year.
 "I find there are a good many Bis bee people interested in the Kay Cop per mine through George W. Long. who has recently taken over this won derfully rich property. It is located on the south end of the Block Canyon about thirty miles south of Mayer. An old shaft $50 feet deep has just been retimbered and a contract let by Mir Long to sink it to the 50O-foot level At the present depth of the shaft, the vein is about thirty feet wide with an average ot about 10 per cent copper across the vein Under the new man. agement, a test carload of ore was shipped to the Humboldt smeltar which ran 1862 per cent copper
 There is no boom on in the Mayer district at the present time and none is wanted. There are twenty or more new companies operating different in a good honest way and results are showing up just as in the rich strike at the Arizona Copper mine two weeks ago. The Mayer district ;s in the heart of the Jerome to Phoenix belt, which is about S5 miles long, The big mines at Jerome are going to be equalled some day by mines along the belt to the south. It is truly a morvelously rich mineralized section uf the state which is becoming very attractive from an investors

A tribute by Archie Kelly to Jim Kirk, pioneer of the southwest and resident of this district for many years, has been received by the Re view from Mir Kelly, who is now a resident of Garces, Cochise county. but who had known Kirk for many years, and who was reared practically with the builder of the southwest who died in his California home last week. MT. Kelly's letter of tribute and history, follows:
 Garces, Arizona, May 1f. 1918
 Editor of the Risbee Daily Review,
 Bisbee, Arizona
 Dear Sir:
 have just read in your issue of the 11th inst. the death of Jim Kirk, my foster father, for Jim Kirk practically raised me On April 1st, 1885, the late Dave Choat and myself ypked a bull team each on the west side of the river opposite of what is now called Hereford, and started to Basachuca below Bacoachi in Sonora, with SUD- plies for the mines of Jim Kirk and Bill Greene. There were no roads in that country at that time and our teams were wild and one can easily guess what hard times we had to de liver the goods. Dave Choat, father of the late Miss Lillian Choat, did not stay with us but short time, but stayed with Jim Kirk for over four teen years. and I was with him during the Apache war in that country and helped him to care for his late broth CT, Gene, when the Apaches wounded him and killed his companion, Charlie Reese, just above La Ventura ranch of Mir. George Carroll, now belongs to M. M Sherman of Kansas. Later at the ranch, I helped care for the late Floyd McMahOn and John Ofer who were wounSled in the great battle of August 9th in 1889, when the Apaches trapped 1Ir. Kirk and five others in what we Americans called Canyon del Diablo near Cerro del Nido, four miles south of the Oso Negro mine. That was a tough day for the boys, and had l found my horse in time 1t is doubtful if l would be writing this letter, for of the six men in battle, John Thompson. Tim O'Brien and Press Hatcher were killed at the lIsl NOllSg tHdt lhS AhuiohS III SN' oiAN Floyd McMahon and John Ofer were put hors de combat. Floyd was shot through the knee and Ofer. big Jark, as we lovingly called him, was shot through both arms, leaving Jim to fight single handed 16 of Geronimo's braves and take care of the wounded. Jim used his hat for a water bucket and carried water to Floyd in hail of lead that the Indians poured at him from the hillside.
 I knew all of the Kirk brothers ex- cept Leverett. Mortimer died at Bas- achuca and is buried there, Charlie died in Kansas, and Eugene and liar " both died in Cananea, and l do not

From a membership of about 400 men who were with the band one year ago, 20 have. already entered the service of the United States. Others are to follow soon, when the stars in the field will be increased largely.
