GROSS EXTRAVAGANCE CHARGED
AGAINST BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
The Cost of Maintaining County Government
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Per Year.

When the grand jury made partial
report on November a, and took a re-
cess until December 81 in order to
allow a committee of experts to more
thoroughly examine into the condi-
tion of certain county offices, more
especially the board of supervisors,
there was feeling that there might
be some facts brought to light that
would make very interesting reading
matter for the taxpayers of this coun-
ty who have been compelled to put
their hands into their pockets and
hand over to the county government
nearly five out of every hundred dol
lars they possessed.
After going over the accounts of the
board of supervisors for the years
1901, 1902 and the three quarters OF
1903. and making a complete record OF
the expenditures of the board for those
years, a recapitulation of the amounts
was made which is herewith submitted
for the consideration of the taxpayers
of the county. These expert reports
were embodied into the final report
of the grand jury which was submitted
to Judge Sloan at nine O'Clock last
night. The final report of the grand
jury is as follows:

case. Night Watch Geo. Giles kept
his eagle eye open and about two

Charged With Texas Murder

The operations of the Black Jack
gang of outlaws in Arizona and New
Mexico is brought to mind again by
the arrest of one of the number In
Texas on charge of murder. Black
Jack was a Texan and most of the
members of his band came from that
state, and when the leader was cap
tured, many of them returned to their
native state.
The one recently captured is Jack
Nelson, alias Jack Moody, and he was
arrested at Wharton, Texas, where he
was working as a section hand he
was unarmed at the time the officers
surprised him and placed him under
arrest.
He has been taken to Dallas. Texas,
where he is to be tried for the murder
of Deputy Sheriff AID Pace. Nelson
has confessed his identity, but de-
clares that he did not murder Pace.
A telegram from Dallas says Nell
son and three others came into Texas
several years ago, when the Black
Jack gang of territory bandits was
broken up. A number of crimes we're
charged against them, and Deputy
Pace and others tried to capture them
at the Trinity river bridge at Dallas,
Pace being shot to death and the gang
escaped. Afterwards they were trail
ed by Texas sheriffs, but always elud-
ed capture. There are now indict-
ments against Nelson in half dozen
counties, charging highway robberies,
a capital offense in Texas.

A Vision of the Plaza.

A resident of West Prescott, whose
home is among the rocks there, and
who accordingly has rocky scenery to
look upon during his wakeful hours,
reports that last night he had one of
the most pleasant dreams he has ex
perienced for months. He says that
while he slept the vision came to him
that the rocks in the plaza had all
been hauled away and the wire net
ting rabbit fences had been removed,
the ground plowed up and the plaza all
sown in blue grass. The gentleman
in question has only been in Prescott
about year and, the designation Of
the plaza had all taken place before
his arrival, so that this vision was the
first and only glimpse he has ever had
of it sans rock, sans cactus and sans
rabbit fence, and he said it looked
good to him. When he awoke in the
morning however, the beauty had all
vanished as the unsightly piles Of
rocks still doomed as of yore, even to
the one enshrouding water pipe and
faucet, which by great stretch Of the
imagination is sometimes called a
fountain.

Prescott, Arizona, December 81,
1903. Honorable Richard E. Sloan,
Judge Fourth Judicial District. Sir
Your grand jury empaneled on the
ninth day of November, beg leave Il
hand in their final report and ask tt
be discharged.
On the oath day of Novebmer We
made a partial report; we have in ad
dition to said report to add that We
have examined four cases and found
four true bills having examined
thirteen witnesses.
We have also had during our inter
mission, an itemiZed statement takeI
from the books of the board of super
visors, and a recapitulation of the ex
penses of the county government fol
the years 1901, 1902 and for the three
quarters of 1903, which shows at {
glance what is being expended by oul
board of supervisors for the running
of our county government. Thi:
shows that the county government il
costing the people close to 500, 600 pei
year.
1t is the opinion of your grand jury
that there is, to say the least, gros:
extravaganza in the expenditures.
Respectfully submitted,

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Supt. Mclaughlin, of the Henrietta
mine, and his estimable wife, came
in from the property of the Braganza
Gold Mining company yesterday after
noon for a short visit in Prescott.
Mr.. Mclaughlin brought in a nice
bar of gold bullion from the mill
valued at about $500. Owing to some
repairs and alterations in the mill it
has not been running for some time
and only started up few days ago.
The bullion was the result of this
short run. 1t is predicted by people in
touch with the management that the
property will soon be paying its reg
ular two per cent per month dividends
again There have been a series of
difficulties to overcome during the
past three or four months which have
prevented the payment of these divi-
dends, but the information will be
hailed with delight not only by the
stockholders but by all in this sec
ton, where the property is regarded
as one of the best in the county.
The work of development is being
pushed ahead with all possible speed
at the Iron King Extension in the
Big Bug district. A few months ago
this property was bonded by Douglas,
Lacey & Co., from A. j. Carroll,
one of the pioneer miners and pros
pectors of this county. Mr.. Carroll
had held the property for some time
but on account of not being able to
properly develop it, and rather than
see il lying idle he bonded it at a
very reasonable figure to the above
company, believing that they would
make a great property out of it and
thus it would do somebody some good.
A prospecting shaft was sunk to a
depth of ITO feet when a cross cut was
run and the great Iron King ledge,
which had been covered to a depth OF
nearly ninety feet by a deposit OF
gravel and sand was struck. The
ledge was cross cut for several fee
exposing a nine foot vein carrying
good values in copper and gold. 4
winze was sunk to a depth of abou
thirty five feet and the values grew
better all the time. This was suffi
cient evidence that they had some
thing to sink for on good big scale
so they moved the hosting plant
from the old Rebel and Kicker prop
critics to the Iron King Extension
and now have two shafts going down
one of them being near the prospect
ing shaft above referred to and tn
other across the gulch where shat
is being sunk to strike the ledg
further north. 1t is a we'll know
fact that the Iron King ledge grow
richer toward the north, and as tbi
property is the north extension of th
Iron King, there is every reason t
believe it will soon develop into BIZ
proposition.
