SMELTER PROSPECTS. Expert Making a Thorough Examination of This Section. The smelter situation remains practically the same as last week, James Edgar Black, president and manager of the Southern Smelting company, still being in the field examining the different mines and prospects near here, but having lit little - tle little to say, evidently preferring to keep his own counsel until a de decision - cision decision is reached. Mr. Black, in company with George B. Upton and George E. Sanders, has been in the field for the past ten days and has visited the Vulture, Black Rock, Blue Tank, Slim Jim, Wick enbnrg, Rich Hill, Weaver and Octave districts. In a few days they will depart for the Colorado river and Bill Williams districts, making extended examination of the mineral deposits in that section, with a view of constructing a rail railroad - road railroad tapping that rich section if conditions warrant it at the pres present - ent present time. If Wickenburg secures this smelter, the ensuing activity will soon make this one of the leading leadingdistricts - districts leadingdistricts of the territory. A 250- ton smelter will employ a great many men, and this, in connection with the number of mines it will take to furnish the ore necessary to run the smelter, wil 1 soon cause Wickenburg to become a city of several thousand. MORRISTOWN MATTER. Happenings in and Around Hot Springs Junction. We have been having rain down our way and since the clearing up of the skies Jack Frost has been getting in his work, The boys around the Junction are going about with their hands jammed in into - to into their pockets up to the elbows and their backs humped like a double-decked camel. William Richardson is employed at Hot Springs for a few days put putting - ting putting in the machinery at that place. Mr. Richardson is a good machin machinist - ist machinist as wed as a first class pipe fit fitter, - ter, fitter, _ * It is astonishing what an effect a little cold spell has on Morristown. Nearly everyone in town and vi vicinity - cinity vicinity are receiving supplies of a warming nature. Mr. Anewalt and familv of Pres Prescott - cott Prescott are guests at the springs. It is reported that Johnnie Wil Williams - liams Williams and Mr. Burke have made a rich strike, the ledge being of a good size and running the entire length of the claim, The ore horns from S2O to SIOO a ton all along the ledge. The property is in the Red Pieacho district. The freight for Morristown has been so large the past week that Mr. Menum, the agent, has been forced to sleep in a battery jar. It is rather shaky sleeping, but nec necessity - essity necessity knows no law. It is getting the time of the year to put a lock on your chicken coop door. The cold weather is driving the migratory population down the line and they always manage to go through a town slow enough to allow their fingers to freeze on to something that doesn't belong to them. Mr. Caton, the section foreman, had his men filling in around the depot during spells between show showers - ers showers Tuesday It was quite badly washed out by the heavy rains that visited this section in August. Messrs. Bruce Cummings and Franklin have just finished sink sinking - ing sinking a well at the junction of the Hot Springs and Red Pieacho roads. They contemplate building a station there in the near future. W. A. Ensign and family of Phoenix have moved their house household - hold household goods to Morristown and will reside here in the future. Mr. Annatage of the Hercules Copper company has returned from the Val Verde smelter, where he has been having copper ore treated, Charles Cathedric is stopping at Morristown for a few days. Ho has some good claims in the Red Pieacho district. Shovels and Picks. New Strike at Ardath. The Ardath Mining company is working several men on its prop property - erty property south of town. Some very rich gold ore was encountered the first of the w T eek at a depth of fif fifteen - teen fifteen feet in a new shaft being sunk. At one time a great deal of rich ore was taken from this mine and aras arastraed, - traed, arastraed, giving good results. A five stamp mill is located on the prop property - erty property but has never been used as yet,

IN DAYS GONE BY. i A Tale of the Lord's Prayer and How Pete Kitchen Won the Money. Many years ago a party of five gentlemen were playing a social game of poker in Charley Brown's saloon in Tucson, Pete Kitchen of Sonora fame, ex-Mayor Maish of Tucson, George Stevens, then sheriff of Graham county, Captain Jeffords, agent of the Chiricahau Indians, and R, N. Leatherwood, the ''Little Giant," composed the party. They played along with varying success until the sweet music of the church bells, calling the faithful to early mass, diverted thej.r thoughts to religious matters. Pete said that when he was a boy and attended Sunday school "hack in the states" he could recite every verse in the New Testament. Maish said that he always did his business according to the Golden Rule. Stevens volunteered the in information - formation information that he knew but little about the Bible, but had always heard it highly spoken of. Jef Jeffords, - fords, Jeffords, wishing to show' that he had some knowledge of the subject un under - der under discussion, made some remark about Jonah swallowing the whale. The Little Giant, who bad been educated for a preacher, seemed amused, but said nothing. Maish remarked that he did not believe there was a man in the party, ex except - cept except himself, who could repeat the Lord's Prayer, and he looked Pete Kitchen squarely in the eye when he said it. Pete ciacked down five twenty dollar gold pieces with the remark that he would wager that amount that he could say it "the first dash out of the box." The money was promptly covered, and Pete was told to "proceed with the deal." Pete seemed puzzled for a moment, hut soon regained confi- 1 deuce, and started off very bravely as follows: "Now I lay me down to sleep; If I should die before I '' "Hold on, Pete," said Maish, ; "the money is yours. I always thought your religious education ; had been neglected. This round i is on me, hoys." The Little Giant said nothing, but there was a faint smile around the corners of his mouth as lie bit off the end of a fresh cigar. - -Copper Era. HOEY INDICTED. Will Be Tried On Two Charges Before i U. 5. Trial Jury. The United States grand jury at Tucson last Wednesday indicted 1 ex-Collector of Customs Wm. Hoey on the charges of taking bribes and aiding the entrance of Chinese into the United States unlawfully. The : trial was started but has been post- 1 poned until Monday. . j Cyaniding at the Vulture. Supt. Geo. W. Sanders of the ' New Vulture Mining Company was 1 in from the mine Thursday pur- 1 chasing supplies. About a dozen men are employed, working now on the extensions of the old mine yet retained by the company. ' The cyanide plant will be put in ; operation in a few days and will be run at full capacity for several ' months or as long as'the water sup- : ply lasts. The fabled pipe line and the cars of machinery which have been shipped so many times, according to various territorial and eastern papers, have never reached Wickenburg and we are beginning , to lose faith in the good intentions of the Vulture Gold Company. , They have shown great activity in disposing of the stock but have done nothing at the mine. We un understand - derstand understand that their bond expired yesterday, but whether it was taken up or not, we do not know. We are glad that the bond has expired as the Vulture Gold Company will either have to do something or let others. As I Was Saying. A newspaper, whose columns overflow with advertisements of business men, has more influence in attracting attention to building up ; a town, than any other agency that can he employed. People go where there is business. Capital and la labor - bor labor go where there is an enterpris enterprising - ing enterprising community. No power on earth is so strong to build up a town so v'oll as a newspaper well patronized, and its power should be appreciated. The man who overlooks his town paper injures < himself by injuring his town and town sm enJ oh n Wanamaker. That is just what we have been trying to impresss upon the mer merchants - chants merchants of this section, John.
