Mrs. SeatOn was until about four years ago a resident of Prescott, and had wide circle Of friends and acquai1tarccs hcrcabouts.

PRACTICAL WORK IN
 MINING IS REWARD
(From Tucsdav's Dailvl

While in Prescott last Saturday re- turning to Los Angeles, Major A. J. Pickrell gave quite an interesting re- view of conditions and the progress of development of the Tillie Star buck. on Slate creek, of which operat- ing company he is a principal.
 While in the country on an inspec- ton of the United Verde Extension, at Jerome, he also visited the prop erty, and said affairs were gratifying from the standpoint of new work per formed. It $ his belief that the Tillie Starbuck will soon be placed on a dividend-paying basis.
 The lower tunnel has reached a point of over 1000 feet, with about 70 feet to go to tap the main shoot, where it is believed an orc body will be determined of bigger and higher grade than has ever been opened up. Average values are now from $50 to $40 per ton in a silver-gold content and there is ready for blocking out tonnage that will more than meet the incorporated capitalization of l SIPS, 900. That the property is near ing the stage to begin production IS the statement made by Major Pick rcll and he proposes to devote more of his time in the future than in the past toward looking after that hold i ing. "Wc have been going ahead in conservative and practical way, and the nut is getting ready to crack, he said. With Major Pickrell in this movemcnt are a limited number of Prescott friends and but little public ity has been given the company af- fairs. Before incorporating Major
 Pickrell had individually expended many thousands of dollars and kept the proposition alive for over seven years
