CAMP VERDE NEWS
Cattlemen and Ranchers Happy at the Bright Outlook Caused By
 COpiOus Rains.
Literary, Social and Personal Notes From the Verde
 Valley.

Camp Verde, Feb. +. (Regular cor respondence. With the ground more thoroughly saturated with moisture than it has been before for several years and fine body of snow on the surrounding hills, the Verde ranches and cattlemen feel assured of a pro- ductive year. The beacon light of the United Verde smelters slag pots flash ing up in the night gives promise to them of prospective market in one direction, while the Fossil Creek Power Plant project in the other, speaks of an ever broadening market for the various products of our toll. A touch of prosperity will be vel comed by all as we have had enough of the reverse.
 The infant son of MT. and Mrs. John Bristow has been as near to the door of death during the past two weeks as mortals usually come and re- turn, but is now on the way to recov- cry. Whooping cough which devel- oped into pneumonia was the cause Inasmuch as statistics show that in our large cities 100 per cent of child ren under two years of age die under such circumstances, we almost feel that our new physician, Dr. Palmer, with the help of good nurses, has al most worked a miracle. Dr. Palmer, though rather young, has had the benefit of large experience in the Chicago general hospital, from which he comes, and being blessed with unusual good sense will make us valuable citizen as we'll as phy- sician and surgeon.
 W. s. Head is again at Sunny side" after an absence of about nine months. We are glad to see him back again. We feel that he is quite part of us.
 The Literary Society still contin- ues to be quite feature of our social life. Everybody is united in an effort to contribute something to its sue cess, which will make a thing suc- cessful if it has any merit back of it. The interesting feature of the last program was the debate on the ques- tion, resolved,
 'That the Press is More Beneficial to Mankind Than the Platform. Rev. Wright and Frank Wingfleld on the affirmative. l.. B. Bell and G. Fl. Bishop negative. The argument on both sides was we'll supported and while two of the judges decided in favor of the affirmative and only one for the negative, it is still a debata- ble question. Mighty as the press is as a distributing medium and in shaping the thoughts and actions of men, still the great thoughts which have shaped the destinies of nations through all the ages have first been thundered from pulpit and platform. There is verify nothing new under the sum-" Tennyson expresses it thus: "Yet I doubt not this the ages one
 increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are wid-
 ened with the process of the sun. '
 The work of the society promises to leave a substantial monument to itself in the new public library a fine selection of new books have been or dered and many donated. Prominent | among the donations has been the li- brary of Dudley Brookes containing some very fine books. Yet there is room for more and contributions are SOIicitad C V R

SURPRISED PASTOR.
Members of Church and Congregation
 Possess the Methodist Parsonage.

Rev. and Mrs. A. NJ. Gibbons of the Methodist church were taken somewhat by surprise last night when the members of the church and con gregaiton commenced to file into the parsonage and in a short time had complete possession of it. The inva- sion was by no means a hostile one and had been planned by the Wo- mans Home Missionery society with its president, Mrs. M. A. Bowen, at the head of the invading forces.
 Following a time honored custom on occasions of this kind the visitors brought good cheer to the preacher and his excellent wife in the shape of good things to eat or money dOna- tfons with which they can be pur- chased, the offerings of this kind be- ing quite liberal. one donation being a box of choice oranges.
 An interesting programme had been arranged and was rendered as follows ::

BIG BLAZE
 AT WILLIAMS
Fire of lncendiary Origin Destroys a Large Portion of
 Saloon Row.
Absence of Wind Probably Saves Des truction of the Entire PIace-Con-
 siderable Insurance.

Williams, Ariz., Feb. IS. Special to Joudrnal- Miner. "A fire which was undoubtedly of incendiary origin broke out last night about II 30 o'clock in the rear of Alex Chris holm's saloon on front street. The people were quickly awakened by pis- tol shots and the footing of railroad engine whistles and every effort was made to stop the mad rush of flames, which was rapidly enveloping the ad- joining buildings and over which mas tery was only gained when the blaze reached the two story brick building belonging to A. retselaf. In all six saloons, one restaurant and several small shacks were consumed as fol lows:
 John R. Loosley, building, value sl2OO. occupied by Joe Burke's saloon :; no insurance.
 Jas. Kennedy, building, value s12OO. insurance $500, and occupied by Samora Bros, who had no insur- ance.
 Andrew Johnson, wholesale liquor house, value S12OO. insurance, S700.
 Jas. Taber, building, value 5000, insurance 5000: occupied by M. Bri ants saloon with no insurance.
 T. A. Fleming, building value 5000  and occupied by Alex Chisholm's and Ed Potter's saloons, no insurance on either.
 \. Tetselaff, building, value S1200; insurance $50; occupied by the New York Kitchen restaurant with no in surance.
 The majority of the fixtures in all the places were saved. The loss was rather severe but the result will be beneficial as better class of build ings will be erected. No wind was blowing at the time, and this fact alone saved the balance of the town.

A DEAD LOCK.
Mayor and City Council Lock Horns
 on Appointments.

A meeting of the city council was held yesterday afternoon at which all the officials were present. It did not take long to demonstrate that the proceedings would be attended with considerable friction.
 The new mayor and members of the council were very unfortunate in making a wrong start. The appoint ment of city officials is vested in the mayor and the prerogative of confirm ing appointees rests with the council.
 The usual custom has been for the mayor to consult with the council men prior to making appointments and when appointments are then made they are confirmed without a hitch and harmony reigns.
 When Mir. Burke took the position of mayor he dispensed with the for mality of consulting with the coun- cilmen and obtaining their views on the subject of appointees, but stand ing on his right to appoint, selected men of his own choice, regardless of the wishes of the individual members of the council. The latter would nJt stand for this and refused to confirm the appoIntees and the matter stands in that shape at present.
 At yesterdays meeting the bill be- fore the legislature for a manual training school for Prescott was up for consideration and the four mem bers of the council were appointed a committee to confer with the school trustees on the subject.
 When the council refused to confirm the appointees of the mayor, the latter reappointed them and refused to entertain a motion by Mulvenon that the city employees be paid what is due them and intimated that a motion to adjourn was in order and an adjournment was accordingly taken until the first Monday in March.

FRANK MORGAN'S FUNERAL.
Universal Sorrow Expressed Over His
 Early Demise at His Home.

The late Frank c. Morgan of Jack. son, Ohio, was a member of several secret orders and during his recent visit to Prescott he visited lodges here and made very many friends among the members. The following notice of his funeral from the Jackson, Ohio Herald will be read with interest by | his frinds here:
 | Not i'll recent years has any death caused more universal pity than that of the late Frank c. Morgan and the esteem in which he was held was shown by the large attendance at the funeral obsequies held from the Pres byterian church Sunday afternoon at which the several lodges of which he was an honored member turned out in great numbers to do honor to his memory The funeral services accord ing to his wish expressed prior to his death, was conducted by Jackson Commandery, K. T. and was most inn pressive throughout.
 Before the time announced for the funeral service. the various orders marched to his late home to escort the remains to the church. First came the order of FOresters, followed by the B. P ,. O. Elks, they in turn by the Knights of Pythias while the Ma sons brought up the rear, the double line reaching almost from the house to the church. The streets were lined with people who were unable to gain admittance to the church, but who braved the indictment weather in order to show their appreciation of the vir- tues of the dead. Within the church 50 seats had been reserved for each order but the great majority were forced to remain outside.
 Within every foot of space was occu- pied and the hush which fell upon the great throng when the service was opened by Rev D. H. Jones. his pas tor, again demonstrated that the peo- pie had not gathered out of idle curi- osity but to appropriately show the last tribute of respect to the dead The funeral oration by the pastor was an eloquent tribute, sincere, and true to the ideals of him in whose memory the service was held. The music was in charge of the Masonic Male chorus directed by Dr. Joseph Jones.
 The floral tributes were many and most beautiful, there being a wealth of floral beauty and many exquisite designs.
 After the service at the church the orders led the way to Fairmount where the body was quietly laid to rest by loving hands.

THAWING DYNAMITE.
Two Men Killed and Others Injured
 in the Operation.

On Saturday morning on the outside of the Buckeye mine in Graham coun- ty several men were thawing out sticks of dynamite in warm water. Sud denly terrific noise occurred and the air was full of flying objects. Af- ter the confusion died away, two men were found blown to pieces, several were knocked down and two were se- verely injured. It is supposed that the men had not changed as frequent ly as they should have done, the warm water in which the dynamite. was be- ing thawed and the nitro-glycerine ac- cumulating in the bottom of the yes sel became warmed sufficiently to cause the explosion. Fifteen or twenty had walked away short dis tance before the disaster occurred.
 Patrick O'Donnell and William Steele were killed and William Ora velIe and Ezra Madison injured.

MAP OF BISBEE DISTRICT


 The United States geological survey has recently issued a special topo- graphic map of the Bisbee copper mining district, Ariz., from surveys which were completed in 1902. The map is drawn on a scale of to F, 900, or about , I-2 inches to the mile The regions south and southeast of the mining town are represented, to- gether with the locations of all the leading mines and even the small prospects.
 The topography is indicted with great clearness and detail by contour lines drawn at intervals of 20 feet, which show not only the heights of all parts of the region. but also the steepness of slopes and the shapes of hills and valleys. The map should be of considerable value to those inter- ested in the development of the re- zion.

ARIZONAS' LEGISLATURE.

The MOhave Miner, a staunch demo- cratic paper, sizes up the present leg islature as follows:
 The legislature is getting down to business at last and is doing just what everyone predicted-violating every pledge made prior to the last election.
 Col. J. Frank Wilson. who was ac- cidentally elected to congress, is in PheniX for the purpose, it is sad. of instructing the legislators how they can get around passing measures they were pledged by MT. Wilson's plat form to make into laws. The union label bill, the blacklist bill and the eight hour law have been put to sleep, and so will all the other meas ures that served the purposes of the democrats in the last campaign. We are pleased to note that a number of the democratic members are staying with their pledges, no matter how ob- nOXious they may be. Of course, we do not think an eight hour law would be the right thing at this time, but the anti blacklist and union label bills are measures that should appeal to every right thinking man in the legislature. The session is half ex- pred, yet there is not one law mp to the governor for his approval or rejec- tiOn. There are about fifty clerks and attaches of the legislature draw ing from four to six dollars per day and appropriations of several thou sand dollars for new territorial build ings that the taxpayers of the terri tory will have to pay when this aggre- gatoin of ignorance and stupidity ad- iourns next month.
