Arizona Republican: BIZ. Pritch. ard, the manager of the Pacific Smelt. ing and Mining Company, was busily engaged yesterday in unloading ma chinery for the new shelter to be put up in the Hamburg country twelve miles north of Frog Tanks The plant will be in operation in about month. The capacity at first will be thirty tons but will be increased so that by October there will be a capacity os 100 tons. No small part of the under taking is the construction of road from Frog Tanks. A large force of men is engaged on it.
 Arizona Republican: An employe of the Pacific Mining and Smelling company now engaged in construct ing a road from the railroad to the shelter came in yesterday after sup plies and additional men. The task of converting burro trail into road for the transportation of heavy ma chinery is more arduous than had been expected. There are now seven teen tons of machinery scattered along the railroad from Phoenix to Peoria and more is on the way Mir. B. F. Pritchard, the manager of the enter prise, will probably call upon the merchants of Phoenix today for assist ance in the completion of the road, which he believes will require about $500 more. The argument MT. Pritch- ard presents is convincing one. He calls attention to the fact that while large bonus is asked for by most shelter propositions, his company has asked nothing.

10 HAVE A RECEIVER.
KIRBY BANK COMMITTEE WILL
so REPORT.
1t Is Found to Be Impracticable to
Get the Consent Of All the Creditors
to Have Mr. Kirby Settle the Bank
Affairs.

The committee selected by the de-
positors Of the Kirby bank held a
meeting this afternoon.
The situation was carefully consid-
cred and the committee decided that
it would be impracticable to secure
the consent Of all depositors to have
Mr.. Kirby settle up the bank owing
to the depositors being so widely
scattered. Bank Commissioner
Credentials statement that the bank
could not be reopened settles any
such proposition. The committee de.
cided to report in favor Of having a
receiver appointed at once and let the
law take its course. There was talk
Of recommending that Mr.. Kirby or
Mr.. Livingston be designated as as
sistant to the receiver, but no recon-
mendation was made. Mr.. Kirby in
formed the committee that he will
gladly do all in his power to assist in
settling up the banks affairs. Action
for receiver will probably be COM
menced by the attorney general soon.
Mr. Kirby has written the bank
commissioner that he would not &C.
cept the place of settling upthe banks
affairs.
