 To the hunter and sportsman we may offer such inducements as will bring many of them within our borders. Within reasonable dis tances can be found both large and small game, such as bear, noun tain lion, deer, wild turkey, etc.

 To advertise our climate, re- sources, surroundings, etc, broad cast over the land would be no small undertaking, but happily this feature is greatly simplified since the completion of the Grand Can yon railroad. Now, it will be an easy matter to distribute pamphlets among the ever increasing number of tourists, and the result from such action can readily be seen.

Estelle Baker Interviewed
Regarding Her Acquaintance with Nora Fuller.

I never had any conversation with her regarding him, nor had any de- sire to speak of him, having men tally branded him as unfit com pany for her.
 "As near as I can describe him. he was a fair-sized man, cheaply and ordinarily dressed; had a weak nose, bad mouth, a sinister droop or cast to one eye, shifty expres- sion in them, and quick, suspicious movements. He might have been 40, or 45 at most; did not notice his hair; believe he had a darkish dropping moustache. His frame was rather loosely built, and I saw nothing attractive in him.
 "His marked peculiarities were his faulty and shifty eyes, his occa- sional twitch of the shoulders, and his quick, guilty way of hustling Nora out of the house. He wore his stiff dark hat low over his fore head as if to hide his features, and was continually shifting his glance.
 "I had no friends who knew Nora, though she evidently was known to two or three of the amateurs. I did not watch her, but she had evi- dently appointed this man her es- cort, as she seemed to expect his company.
 lowing to the nature of my work in the city l was compelled to room around a great deal, but at that time I was staying with my mother on Polk street.
 Regarding Madge Graham, who was thought to be chum of Nora Fuller, I will say that the name is familiar, but cannot place it. It seems that I have seen them together but cannot be sure of it."

Arizona Order of Foresters.

Arizona is to have a High Court of the Independent Order of For esters. It will be instituted at Phoenix on the 25th of April, and the local court has elected as dele gates Dr. A. Tyroler and George S. Patton, with A. R. Kilgore and Chas K. Brooks as alternates.
 Previously the courts in Arizona were under the jurisdiction of the High Court of California, but the order has grown to such propor- tions that it was found advisable to establish a separate High Court in Arizona. During the High Court meeting delegates will be elected to the Supreme Court, which meets in Los Angeles the latter part of the month, mention of which was made in our last issue.

ne NOTa ulier murder case, which is attracting such wide at tention on the coast, and which caused the San Francisco Call to send a representative here last week to interview Mrs. Ward, has led Chief of Police Whitman of San Francisco to investigate the matter and send a set of questions to be put to Mrs. Ward, hoping that her knowledge might lead to the dis covery of the murderer.
 Marshal Kennedy and a NEWS reporter called at the home of Mrs. J. B. Ward, nee Estelle Baker, this week and secured a written state ment of her knowledge of Nora Fuller, the girl who was found mur- dered in San Francisco something over a month ago. Her story is too lengthy to publish in the NEWS in detail, but the main features are herewith given. She says:
 kindly bear in mind that knew little of Nora Fuller, being interested more in newspaper and stage work than young girl without talent who was trying to get onto the stage.
 ''It is impossible for me to state when I first met her. I left San Francisco July 7th, and it was prior to that time. It must have been between July 1st and 7th. She (Nora Fuller) ascertaining that I was both a professional singer and writer, came to me herself, while l was at the Olympia, seeming to re- gard me in a very respecting light, and asked my advice with regard to going on the stage.
 ''She was one of large company who gathered at the Olympia Fri day noon to be tried out for the nights amateur performance. She evidently came there to get on' as an amateur in order to win the small sum attached. I saw her at noon in the main hall and on the stage for trial, and again in the evening in the dressing room l met and spoke to her below, mostly on stage topics.
 ''I saw Nora five times altogether; twice with one man-once alone and once with Hugh Grant, but when she was with Grant I did not have her acquaintance, and once when she tried to get on at the Chutes and failed.
 ''I never was introduced to nor spoke to the man first mentioned.

WILLIAMS AS A
 SUMMER RESORT
Offers Great Inducements to the SiShtseer, Hunter and
 Camper.

Scarcely had the NEWS of last week been placed in the POstoffice for circulation among its readers before one of them, MT. F.. Lamb, came in to inform us that our sug- gestions, regarding the creation of diversions for tourists and others, in the way. of horseback trips to the top of Bill Williams mountain. car riage drives into the surrounding country, etc, would be acted upon by him immediately. None are better prepared for such an under taking than is MT. Lamb, owning, as he does, a beautiful park just at the outskirts of the town, whose borders reach up into the foothills, and which is a most ideal spot for a summer outing.
 Williams is destined at no dis tant day to become the center of the mining, numbering, stockraising and railway interests of Northern Arizona, and her foundation is per manently established Our Popu lation at present is in the neighbor- hood of 2,5OO, and is rapidly i'm creasing.
 The NEWS is in constant receipt of letters of inquiry regarding the climate, prospects, etc, and deems it pleasure to be able to state that our future has most fiattering aspect.
 The town is pleasantly situated near the base of Bill Williams mountain, at an elevation of 6,750 feet above sea level. The climate, because of this elevation, as a sum- mer resort Is beyond comparison with any Contrary to the ideas of the average customer, to whom Ari zona is known as the land of sun shine and eternal heat, though we have the bright and invigorating ited, heat, such as is experienced in the east, is unknown.

 EDITOR NEWS: We have made quite a rich strike twelve miles south of Peach Springs, Mojave county. We find, in the contact between slate and granite, gold run ming as high as s130 per ton and copper running 30 per cent.
 There are ten claims in the group, all showing free gold. We have one claim showing a three foot ledge, carrying s2O in gold and 30 per cent in copper; another with a free gold ledge running from $62 50 to $130 per ton; also a porphyry ledge showing good values in gold.
 We find many specimens that will run as high as $500 per ton In the Ed. Wright creek, near by, there is plenty of water for all pur- poses, including milling, etc; also plenty of fuel timber
 We have the only prospects in this section of the country, and the camp bids fair to be good one There is a good wagon road from Peach Springs to the camp. The locators are Wm. Tucker, of Ash Fork; Vim. Crowell, J. Mart Little and D. NJ. Alexander, of Williams.

tended to the Atlantic seaboard, In.
stead of two parts. the East has now
been divided Into three. The an.
nouncement of the agreement among
these interests Is the most important
railroad Item since II was announced
on December o, 1898. that harmonious
relations had been established be.
tween the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania. The agreement be.
came necessary when the Goulds de-
cided to extend their system to the
Atlantic seaboard The entrance of
that system into the Eastern or trunk
line field upset the whole railroad
situation. The fight that began then
has been bitter, and has caused an
under.current of alarm throughout
financial and railroad circles. Public
attention was attracted when an
nouncement came that the Golilds'
Wabash system would extend It's line
to Pittsburg, point where the rail-
rond rate situation had been domInat.
ed by the Pennsylvania. This plan
was decided ON when the fight be.
tween Andrew Carnegie and the Penn.
sylvanla was at It's height, and before
the United States Steel Corporation
was formed. The new agreement as
to the division Of the territory makes

even to the person not familiar with
railroad ownership and control. First
as to Importance and novelty Is the
entrance of the Goulds In the Eastern
railroad situation. They control sys.
tens with large mileage In the West
and Southwest. and are closely lden.
tilted with the Hartman lines of rail-
roads. This insures an extension OF
the community of interest not only
In the East, but also in the West and
Southwest; In fact. across the con
tinent. The Goulds union with the
Pennsylvania and the New York Cen.

more perfect harmony among all the
railroads OF the country than was
