PATIENT PEOPLE
FINALLY REAP REWARD

From Thursdays Daily0
Nearly fifteen years have elapsed
since the Braganza Mining Company
first operated the Henrietta gold
mine in the Big Bug district, and
only few years ago did the many
resident and nonresident stockhold-
F ers reap the benefit of that old-time
investment by the sale of that prop
erty to the Big Ledge Development
Company. Col ]. c. Rankin. who
has been principal of the retiring
company from its inception, stated
yesterday that all who have retain
cd their interest, of whom are some
in Prescott, VIII receive the benefit
OF the sale, which Melted 100000,
this sum having been paid by the
purchaser. During all these years
Col. Rankin has retained his corpor-
ate relation with the Braganza as
president and has assumed a pro-
tectorate supervision OF its share
holders, confident that his optimism
would sooner or later be exempt

,apsed into state OF intermittent
operations because of the increased
outlay OF capital necessary to ex-
plore along larger lines of develop
ment. while labor troubles also in
terfered with its affairs. For many
months its product sustained 4 heavy
expense OF maintaining nearly 20
miners. and It was handicapped by
practically useless stamp mill, its
ores being of 4 free milling charac-
ter. Deep development was initial
ed, and It is due to this considera-
ton, which has been in recent
months carried out by the Big
Ledge under an agreement, that de
Examinations have proven the wis
dom of early day plans so as to jus
THY the outright sale of this attract
lively rated group, which at last pass
es out of the hands of the original
owners.
From such reliable sources as the
practical miners employed at present
at the Henrietta, It is stated that the
mine has now passed out of the
sphere OF a possibility into the real
ity of being incontrovertibly proven,
thereby fulfilling early anticipations
in development reaching certain
zones.
Colonel Rankin, in leaving the Bra
ganza yesterday stated that he will

MEXICAN IS BEATEN
TO DEATH BY TRIO
OF Fl, WHIPPLE MEN
Soldiers XIII Resort Patron
And Thro1U Body In Shed;
Found Four Days Later

Lane and jury appeared short
time later and examined the body.
Later the corpse was taken to the
Ruffner morgue.
Not much trouble was experience
ed in rounding up the three men ac-
cused of the killing. Bloom notified
the post authorities that the men
were wanted, and having been fur
nished with their names and descrip-
tons by Miss Stewart, they were
soon in custody All of them denied
being implicated in the killing, but
admitted that they had visited the
Stewart resort on Sunday night The
prisoners, who are all young men
aged about % or % years, nave the
appearance of being what is COM
monty referred to as hard boiled
eggs They gave no explanation as
to how the blood-soaked garments
came to be in their quarters.
Little Known of Victim.
The officials were unable to shed
much light as to where the murder
ed man had come from or what he
was doing here It was found that
he had for some weeks kept a room
in one Of the buildings in the Stoney
Point neighborhood He was about
Is years Of age
Preliminary on Monday.
The three defendants will be CIV
en- their preliminary hearing in the
court OF Judge McLane on Monday
afternoon next, at which time il Is
most likely that they will be held to
the superior court The positive
identification of the men made by
Miss Stewart and the presence OF the
bloody clothes in their quarters
would seem to convince the average
person that the. officers had appre-
hended the perpetrators OF this re-
voting crime.
Officials yesterday could not say
whether the man had died from Che
wounds inflicted on him by his as
sailants or whether he had passed
away as a result OF the intense cold
weather The mercury mas been go
ing below zero nearly every night
since Sunday, and If the man was not
dead at the time his limp body was
tossed into the shed by the soldiers,
the terrible cold would undoubted-
" have brought on his death.
Nellie Held AS Witness.
Because of the fact that Miss
Stewart was the only one who Wit
messed the fatal fight, Judge McLane
yesterday ordered her held under a
bond Of $1,000 She failed to raise
this amount and was placed in the
county jail to await the date Of the
trial.
Four Murder Cases for Trial
The killing of Sunday will bring
the total number of murder cases
awaiting trial in the local court to
four. Aside from this affair, there is
the case of Lee Ong who killed All
Fee at Jerome several weeks ago.
the Bud Stephens case which VIII

MANY MILLIONS
SPENT IN ARIz.
MININGPLANTS
DESPITE WAR CONDITIONS
HUGE SUM WAS EXPEND-
ED IN DEVELOPMENT
AND IN SMELLING AND
REFINING INDUSTRY.
(From Thursdays DaiIy)

In spite of high cost of materials
and labor and of various other re-
tarding influences, new equipment
with value of more than S1O,OOO,OOO
has been brought into mining serv-
ice IL Arizona during this year.
Tic largest single item in the total
represents the new United Verde
Extension smelter in the Verde dis
trict. A large amount of money
was spent in the same district in
bringing in higher capacity and
greater efficiency at the United
Verde smelter, work that continues
in progress with splendid results at
tending.
Douglas shelters of the Phelps
Dodge and c. & A. also received
large expenditures for betterments
that have much increased efficiency
of plant operation. At Miami, COM
pletion was made of important addi-
ton to Miami Copper company pow
CT plant, and at the Inspiration there
was considerable expenditure for
mine equipment betterments, as
there was also at the Old Dominion
and other properties in the Globe
district. These expenditures made
larger production OF copper immedi-
ately available, at the same time
providing permanent gains in plant
efficiency.
The year added two new concen-
traitors of large tonnage to the num-
Der operating in the state, while sew
cral smaller plants were erected and
put in operation, inclusive of those
on the Worlds Fair and Flux mines
in the Patagonia district One great
new plant was brought under con
struction. that OF Phelps-Dodge in
the Warren district, designed to
treat Sacramento Hill steam shovel
ores. The two large plants put in
operation were those OF Ray Her
cules and Shattuck Copper com
panies. Both have come into the
delivery OF excellent results. follow
ing the perior OF minor alterations
and rcadjustment common to break

Steel and machinery for the
Phelps-Dodge mill are arriving on
the site. where grading Is far along
and some construction under way
but speed originally planned for this
work and preparation OF Sacramento
Hill fer production has been slowed
down by reason of federal requests
and acquisitions of materials from
time to time
Progress made in Improvements
by both smelling and milling enter
prises in the state in 1918 represent
long strides in conservation All
the expenditures have meant greater
recovery OF values, coupled in the
main with 7esser requirements for
man power and the making available
OF lower grade ores. points upon
which the mines, mills and smelters
were compelled to concentrate dur
ing the war period Experimental
work in ali divisions is unoeasine
and there is much that Will be
brought into practice within the next
few years that Will have advantage
for the mining industry generally
With these advances there is pro
portionate gain to ore reserves. be
cause OF the making available OF
lower grades than previously were
amenab,e to profitable treatment.
