CUPID JOINS TWO
 HEARTS IN LOVE
CFrona Sundays DaiIvN

The course of true love never does run smooth, but it runs eternally. District Clerk Woods issued a mar riage license yesterday to James A Jeffries of Fort Whipple, aged 3l, 10 marry Jessie c. Cullen, of about the same age, and of the same place.
 The marriage will be a continuation of a case of true love MT. Jeffrics is confined to his bed, and may never be we'll again, while the bride is also cripple, but able to be up and around. Chaplain Zeigler vouches to the excellent character and fortiude of this pair, and joins a multitude oi their friends in wishing them happi- ness. Many people in robust health appreciate that it does not take health, neither wealth, to make happy married lives. Contentmenr and companionship with those we love is far more powerful in produc- ing the real pleasures of life than power or station in life

 While in the city a few days ago from the Big Pine mining camp near Senator, C. H. Dunning. gen eral manager, stated that resumption would take place in a short time, preparatory matters nearing com .pletion. This action was decided up on some time ago by those inter csted, and it is stated successful mil runs made and new development given since the fire of several months ago demonstrated desirable proposition. An earlier date was set for this purpose, but deep snow iso- lating the property for many months and the absence of MT.

OSBORN EASILY
 VANQUIsHES BAKER

Dr. J. W. Osborn triumphed las. night over Col. Baker in the wrest- ling match at the Elks theater, win ming both bouts. In the first fall after they came together 1t required fourteen minutes for Osborn to floor his adversary, and in the seconi clash only two minutes ticked off for the freightcr of Camp Verde to van quish the matchmaker oT Prescott. when the contest ended.
 Osborn showed clever ability in his dextrous work, winning the first round with what is known as the hammerlork hold. and in the second his strangle hold on Baker made the latter an easy victim. It was a con test, in fact, entirely one-sided, and brought a big attendance, this being ihe first time in Prescott such ar event had ever been staged.
 Dr. Osborn, it was learned later, followed wrestling as a business dur ing his earlier years and retains his wonderful physical vigor at 6 yeas of age. Attorney J. H. Morgan was referee. and the audience was well satisfied. Since winning, Dr. Osborn ,s beseiged with other challenges, and has agreed to wrestle anyone in Arizona of co years of age or over.

FAMOUS SILVER BONANZA HAS
 COME BACK
(From Sundays DailyD

Scenes of long ago will soon be in evidence at the famous early day Peck silver mine in the Bradshaws as the rumble of the mill is heard and the old drifts echo as the chug of the jack hammer tells the story that the bonanza of other days has come back to life. The Ball milling plant is ready to move and will be in action as soon as pipe fittings are in posi- ton, and for the first time in over forty years the silent ore dumps of over 30,C00 tons vii be awakened from their ling slumber.
 The reviving of this property is practically accomplished, and a big operating plan is perfected. Unlike other days, the new supercedes the old, concentrating and cyaniding of the product taking the place of the pan and settler. The Ball process Of reduction shoves aside the stamps, while the compressor drives the drill instead of by muscle. The future of this property seems to be bright, the mineral content of the dump being definitely known, while the old stopes are opened sufficiently to provide an additional heavy tonnage. w. w. Fl lott has completed construction of the mill, while Frank w. Giroux has assumed charge as manager. All de partments are rady to swing into ac7 ton and steady operations are as sured. This silver movement is oc- casioning general comment, whether history is to repeat what occurred n its early life by hitting the higl grade, will be known only after new zones are tapped.

MONEY WILL OPERATE
 HEAVILY
(From Tuesdays DaiIYJ

Since the Franco-American Copper company resumed a short time ago, development has assumed such inter est that a delegation of eight mining men of this city were guests on Sun day of Col. Fred Bowler, general manager, on an inspection, and re- ports were fully corroborated of an other big copper being assured. This proposition, so far as Arizona invest ors are to be considered, is relieved of any stock selling feature, and so far as known there is not in Prescott single investor. Ex-Governor Oddie of Nevada and Senator German oi West Virginia, with Col. Bowler of Prescott, are the principals, all ot whom, with a limited number of asso ciates, have concluded to operate hereafter on quite an extensive plan
 This action is due to three potent reasons. First. tine Franco is proven to be on the Binghamton contact, the working points of both mines being within one mile of each other. Sec ond, the geological conditions are without doubt so attractive that con. sidering its depth of about 20 feet such a naturalization in copper-gold silver bearing ores has ever been at tained by any mine in this field Third when the wagon road to Stod. dard is constructed. about two mile: distant, the Franco will be within eight miles of the railroad at Mayer This outlet will be under way nex week, and it is to be utilized immedi ately in freighting out approximately 1,5O0 tons of a product estimated tc carry Is per cent copper content with other associated minerals.
 Over 200 tons Is ready for break ing at the 100-foot level that samples P per cent. Last Saturday the re- turns from a car of ore treated al Humboldt gave returns in copper alone of 5 per cent
 Other matters of interest pertain ing to this new movement are that a big pump was shipped yesterday, an air compressor to drive drills arrives this week, the hoist house is to be at once enlarged, and the mine force increased. The outlay for the wagon road, which when combined with the heavy operating expenses decided urcH - new equipment will give some idea of the optimism of the principals. The best index of a mine is usually derived from the miners employed, and in this connection those who are today employed and those formerly with the Franco and of the unqualified belief that 1t is a copper of attractive possibilities. And this opinion was shared by every one from this city who made the trip to the works last Sunday.
