Mohave county, as mineral country, is second to none on the American continent. Gold, silver, copper, lead and other minerals are found in abundance. Many of the best camps in the county are back numbers, because of the lack of capital to do the necessary amount of development work to bring them to the front. AS an illustration we cite the case of the Eureka mine at Cerbat. For twenty years this property laid idle, only the neces sary title work being done on it. Now it is shipping thousands of dollars monthly and paying it's owner handsome dividends.

Arizona by all means should have

Arizona by all means should have a poor farm. The cost to the coun- ties for care of chronic indigents is becoming enormous. A poor farm could be made practically self-sus- taining and the excess would be- come a territorial charge. Many of the smaller counties are bearing more than their just burden of in, digent expense and should in some manner be relieved. This is one of the questions our legislature should deal with promptly.

A great roar is being sent up over the fact that Oakes Murphy has introduced in congress bill covering the matter of appointments by the governor of Arizona after ad- journment of the legislature. We believe that, as the republicans will be held accountable for affairs in Arizona for the next four years they should have full sway. We feel sorry for you boys, but you must take your medicine and say it's good.

JUDGMENT NOTE ALTERED

Raised TO Nine Hundred II
Is Alleged.

John w. Hollenback was arrested
Thursday night in a warrant sworn
out before Alderman John J. Ruddy, of
the Twentieth ward, by Mrs. Antonina
Zofoskie, of Old Forge, charging Hol-
lenback with having "conspired Illegal
ly and fraudulently to represent a Bal
timore Insurance company with intent
to cheat and defraud said company"
This Is the form of the charge on
the warrant that was issued, but the
real startling part of the case is that
Hollenback prevailed upon Mrs. Zof-
oskie to sign judgment note for 81,
telling her that she could collect $3.50
from the insurance company on the
death of her husband.
1t is alleged that Hollenback after
ward raised the judgment note to 5000
and had it recorded in the recorders
office of this county.
Hollenback was arrested Thursday
night, but owing to the lateness of the
hour he was placed in the central po-
lice station to await a hearing.
Yesterday he was taken before AL
derman Ruddy and after a hearing was
held in 5000 bail to appear at court.
In default Hollenback was committed
to the county Jail.
Mrs Zofoskie also sworn out a war
rant for the arrest of John w. Will
Jams, who was one of Holenbaclxs wit
nesses at the hearing, charging him
with perjury. The warrant has not yet

ALLGOOD RELEASED ON BAIL.
Validity of the Proceedings Before
the Alderman Questioned.

Benjamin Allgood, who was fined SIS
or thirty days in the county Jail by
Alderman Davis Wednesday night for
hugging Mrs. Louise Harmer of OK
ford street, was released from the coun-
ty Jail yesterday on bail He refused
to pay his fine, saying that it would
be confession of his guilt, and guilty
he assuredly said he was not. He
therefore went to iail.
Yesterday his attorney made an ef-
fort in court to take an appeal from
the alderman's decision on the merits
of the case, but this the court would
not allow as nothing was shown to
warrant them in allowing such an ap-
peal. Mr.. Allgood's attorney then took
out writ of certiorari, which attacks
the validity Of the proceedings
Pending the disposition of this writ
Mr.. Allgood was released on 5000 BAIL
