McCARTHY'S FLIGHT. Statement Made That the Yavapai Bear Hunter is Alive in
 Canada.
Insurance Men Are Said to Have
 Tracked Him From Arizona.

Readers of this paper will recall the chronicling of the desperate fight John Mccarthy had with a bear in the Mogollon mountains a year ago, and the finding of bis dead body some days afteward by his friends. The supposed body of Mccarthy was taken to Flagstaff for identification, but aside from his clothes and vari- ous articles he was known to be the owner of, and which were found on his person at the time, and the mu- tilated condition of his head and face, 1t was generally stated that it was in reality the famous bear hunter, and 50 the matter was passed away with out any belief that it was other than him.
 His body was taken to Phenix and there buried. His widow demanded afterward S26000 of life insurance money that he carried. but in this she was unsuccessful, and has been so up to the present. The companies which carried the policies afterward had the body exhumed, making the statement that McCarthy's jaw teeth had had certain dental work in evi- dence, and if such was shown the money would be paid.
 It is now stated that Mccarthy is alive and in Canada, and that to his companion and his brotherin-in-law, who has since died, letter has been written, and it is presumed that it is from Mccarthy himself. The lnsur- ance detectives claim that they posi- lively know Mccarthy is alive and is in Canada. MeCarthy's widow is and has been all the time in southern Arizona, and believes that her hus- band is dead.

of democracy. He IS 6 man of gen ial fellowship and has those traits ol a short acquaintance that the west ener is made to feel at home witf right from the start of.
 Senator Heitfeid, of Idaho, has been "here before," that is, he is thoroughly westernized, and is prob ably better posted on what the west is entitled to than any of his asso- ciates. He knows what territorial vassalage means, and he will no doubt be a willing sponsor to the needs of Arizona when the time ar rives. In Idaho his past life has been one that gave him freely a recognition of the highest, and in all of his official duties he has been a true friend of western advancement.
 Of Senator Dillingham; and Burn ham, but little is known in this sec ton. Both are from the extreme east, and we trust that they will weigh conditions with us today, as they prevailed away back in that dark era of continental days. All senators of the United States are broad minded. They have a big country to look after, and we believe they will make it bigger so far as Ari- zona goes. Arizona's latch string is out, now open the door.
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1902-11-19
IN PRESCOTT.

They were driven over the city and were accompanied by many promi- nent citizens. The neat and natty appearance of buildings, the scenery and evidences of a thrifty and pros porous community, were somewhat oi a revelation to them, and they openly said so. "So many harsh things have been said and written in the many eastern centers," said one of the senators, "that when one is face tc face with that to be seen in this pretty and thoroughly Americanized city, located in the southwestern cor ner of the republic, ii is evident that there has been a misconception oi opinion, and 1 am glad that the op- posite prevails"
 Likewise were all of the senators pleased and it may be said agreeably disappointed. Even if their report to the senate should be againt Arizona's admission, the coming of these promi nent people will be of a direct and lasting benefit especially to the thor oughly American conditions of life here as they prevail elsewhere be- yond the Mississippi.
 The industrial life of the com munity was eagerly asked for, and particularly so were the resources of our mining interests inquired into, it being evident that Yavapai's vast mineral output had reached them in reputation before coming here. Taken altogether the senators were pleased at what was shown and it is to be generally regretted that their time was so limited that they could not be taken to the many mines un der operation adjacent to the city. Of this however, they have been in formed.

SLUICING
 MITCHELL
He is Still on the Witness Stand as
 aTsrget for the Opposition.
Nothing Startling Has Developed and
 Slow Progress IS Made.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 17.-Another large crowd in attendance today when the anthracite commission be- gan its fourth days sitting. Nit chell. who has been on the stand since Friday resumed this morning and McVeagh cross-examined. At the present rate of progress it will take several weeks to hear both sides. The general opinion prevails among the attorneys that some arrangements have been made to shorten the in- quiry. Commissioners recognize that Mitchell is the mnst important wit ness the miners have and are loath to have matters hurried while he is on the stand as his opinions are looked upon as official and refecting the policy of the union.
