VETERAN FORCED TO
 SURRENDER THE FORT

Sunday. June l5, was the 80ti birthday anniversary of jonn Wilson
 of Pine Crest During the Memorial and Decoration Day services recently iheld here he wore the striking uni | form of the Duryee Zouayes oi New . York, which he wore at the time of ] Sheridan's ride in the Shenandoah valley, and many people then learned
 of his age by conversation, but not by his appearance, for age seems to , lie lightly on this veterans head. The result of this was that on the 18th in stant, Sunday evening last, Mir. Will son was greeted by a genuine sur prise party. An organized surprise party was pulled off in his honor which was one of the most unique celebrations of its kind in the city for some moons. About g couples came strolling jn leisurely, by 'twos and fours and more, till the vcranda vas full, and then more rooms was needed, and the veteran saw he was up against q real siege. He decided to surrender and opened the house and let the invaders" i'll.
 The captain and all the privates of the attacking forces all bore girits," but not gifts like those of whom some one said, Beware" They were all real surprises and Mir. Wilson showed his great enjoyment of the occasion and took part in the jollity of the oc- casion in manner to do himself credit and to cause jealousy ill the heart Of many younger man.
 The main ceremony was the cut ting of the big birthday Cake-big enough to hold so lighted candles, each of which the veteran blew out according to the most approved GUS tom. Mir. Wilson is ever ready 10 do honor to his departed brethren of three wars and can compare vividly the difference between the modes of warfare in each as the times seem to l have made more horrible the meaning ! of Sherman's famous definition of war.
 But Mir.

MONARCH MINE TO
 INSTALL NEW MILL

W. F. Burns has gone back to his long ago huuch ou the old Monarch mine in the Verde district In 1901 the Monarch Mining company, under he direction of parties to whom he recommended the Monarch mine, took over that property and worked it. But the ground was never devel- opcd to any considerable depth. After changing hands and being buf- ieted from many ownerships, Mir. Burns has come back and took ii up on his own personal account and knowledge and has organized a com pany known as the Verde Mines and Milling company. of which he has ac- ccptcd the presidency and manager ship.
 On this property there is vein known as the Burns vein, which was named after Mr Burns. On this vein the former operators did not do much work, and MT. Burns has started his development i'll this place He has a good tonnage of nice milling ore in sight, varying from SEQ to $35 ton in gold. There is a small five-stamp nill on the property, and milling is going ahead on this ore, with the result that good saving is being made nf the gold on the plates and concentrate IS being made that runs over SlG0 per ton. It takes several tons of the ore to make ton of concentrates, and as the little mill will handle about five tons per shift of eight hours, it is slow getting the gold out.
 In order to get away from this icicct it has been decided to install E new stamps of heavier weight and increase the output to 50 tons per day. When this plant is installed, MT. Burns thinks the tonnage of ore ore already blocked out in the old mine will keep the mill busy for a long time, and that a good profit can be ralled into the pockets of the shareholders of the property, most of whom are what might be called close corporation.
 This activity is, according to Mir Burns, only sample of what is due To be done in that vicinity in the very near future. He sees a live and thriv- ing camp in that field in the next few years. The great ore zones of the Verde district he believes ex- lend into his section, especially in as much as he is not far away. if he can hold out on sinking a deep shaft to reach the real sulphide zones, where ,hc copper values will come in to add something 10 the gold. There are many other operators in the sec iion getting busy and he does not feel lonesome in the old camp.
