McCarty's Insurance Paid.

The Ancient Order of United Workmen and the Woodmen of the World have each paid the in surance claims on the death of John McCarty, who was killed in Miller's Canyon in June, 1901, by the ex- plosion of his shotgun. McCarty carried $2O,OOO in life insurance at the time of his death, and the com panies claimed that he was still alive and that the body found four months after his death was not the body of McCarty, and that McCarty was still alive and living in British Columbia, and it was asserted that they would have McCarty here at the trial, which was to have been held at the April, 1903, term of the district court in this county. The cases were continued by consent of both parties at that time, and so far as the A. O. U. w. and the w. O. w. are concerned, they are satis- fled that McCarty is dead and that the body was not substituted. The insurance in the two orders named has been paid to the attorneys of the widow, Mrs. Lillie McCarty. The attorneys are E. E. Ellinwood of Prescott and Thomas Armstrong, IT,, of Phoenix.-Flagstaff Sun.

Salt Lake Taps Santa Fe.

A San Bernardino paper says that an order has gone out from the of fees of R. B. Burns, chief engineer for the Santa Fe coast lines, direct ing that the stakes marking the "mutual tap" which is to connect the Salt Lake and Santa Fe main lines in Riverside be at once set in place. Some time ago a contract was entered into by these two com panies whereby the Salt Lake trains will run over the Santa Fe's tracks from Riverside to Barstow. The latter company is now preparing to throw out the necessary connecting track. The link will be half-mile in length and will connect the Salt Lake at the North h-street station. It has already been surveyed and now the center stakes will be driven.
 AS is the rule in such cases, the Salt Lake will build half of the connection and the Santa Fe will build the other half.
 At the present time the Salt Lake graders to the number of 100 are at work on an immense fill which is being built not far from the point

Mine Owners Meet.

At meeting of the Arizona Mine Operators Association, on Friday, June 5, 1903, the members by unanimous vote decided that the bylaws, list of members and sched- ule of wages adopted should be pub lished and given as wide publicity as possible throughout northern Ari- zona.
 The recent eight-hour law enacted by the territorial legislature was the principal reason for the formation of this association, it being consid cred that uniform action in this connection was very desirable. But, as stated in the bylaws, the pur- poses of the association are general in their nature, having to do with any question which will advance and promote the mining interests and in which uniform action would be desirable. The schedule of wages adopted, in the opinion of the op- orators, is a most fair and liberal one, being an advance in the rate per hour over the schedule in force formerly, and is as high as the op- orators feel able to pay. It is the purpose of the association to make the membership as comprehensive as possible, and to that end all op- orators and owners of mines in Arizona are invited to join the as- sociation.
 The following is the wage scale adopted by the society, to take eff feet June 1, 1903.
 For underground employment, for an eight-hour shift under ordinary conditions of mining, it being ex- pressly understood that if for any reason or exceptional cause devia ton from the scale may be desir- able for any operator, such devia- tion and the reason therefor shall be submitted in writing to the ex- ecutive committee for investigation and approval:
 Stopers, $500 per day; timber men, $3.50; machine men, $3.5O; pumpmen underground ), $3.5O; muckers, $500; trammers, $2.5O; drifting, raising and crosscutting, 1925; sinking, $3.5O.
 In all cases men are to come up and go down on their own time. Where there are three shifts in twenty-four hours, men are to re- lieve each other at their places, but will be allowed one-half hour for meals, out of the company's time. Prescott Herald.

GRAND CANYON ITEMS.

R. H. Cameron, who has been on a tour through the large eastern cities, returned recently.
 The mighty Colorado river is now raging torrent-higher than it has been for several years.
 H. J. Gilbert, for the past three months chef at the Garden City ho- tel, left today for an extended visit in the east.
 Garden City is a busy little camp situated midway between the rim and the river-an excellent half way station where tourists may stop to rest and refresh themselves after a hot ride down from the rim or climb from the river. Tourists can be furnished tents, with clean beds and all comforts, without wor- ry of camp life.
 Cooper & McGonigle, while doing assessment work on what is known as the Pyrites mine, in the Grand Canyon mining district (under bond and lease by Ferrall & Cameron), struck a very rich lead of gold. This is something very unusual in what was supposed to be a copper proposition, but it is only one more wonder of the Grand Canyon. From present indications the Pyrites bids fair to become the richest gold mine in Arizona, with copper and mo- lybdenite as side issues.

BLOODY COMBAT
 ON WHITE RIVER
Henry Barrett Is Dead and Prime I. Coleman, Jr., Seriously
 Wounded.

A courier came into St. Johns, says the Ships, about II o'clock Tuesday morning. the 18th inst, after medical aid, and reported that a deadly duel had been fought with Mausers, at close range, by Messrs. Henry Barrett and Prime T. Coleman. Jr., two of Apache county's most widely known cattle men, at cattleman's camp in the White Mountain Indian reserva- tion, about forty five miles south of this town, near where several cat tlemen and Indian Ranger Grouse and his Indian police had met for roundup of cattle.
 Some differences over matters re- lating to cattle and range arose be- tween Barrett and Coleman about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning and the two first engaged in a fsticuff- Coleman was given a staggering blow. As he arose Barrett and Coleman both went for their guns; the formers gun was in the scab- bard on the saddle of his horse standing near, and the latter's gun was leaning against the tent some farther away. Report says that Barrett's horse shied when he ap- preached to get his gun, and by this means Coleman was enabled to reach his gun first. The two men were not over four or five rods apart when they began to fire on each other All the other parties except Grouse, Earl and Jay Pat terson were away from the scene at the beginning. Barrett was shot twice, once near the pit of the stom- ach and once just below the right ribs; Coleman was shot twice in the upper part of the right leg and twice in the upper part of the left leg, all being flesh wounds. Dur ing the firing the two men chased each other around, and report also has it that after both had emptied their guns Barrett came upon Cole man where he had fallen near the tent ropes and beat Coleman over the head with his gun, though carrying two mortal wounds and living but few minutes afterward- One young man not far away came into camp during the fight and others who were in another camp close by soon after. While the young man was after the physi- elan, Mr. Sherwood, Coleman's part ner and cousin of Mrs. Barrett, wife of the dead man, brought the dead and wounded to Walnut Grove, where the wounded man is reeeiv ing medical attention, with hopes that he will recover, though very badly wounded in both legs and on the head Funeral services for the dead were held Wednesday at the home of J B. Patterson and the re- mains laid to rest in the cemetery west of town. Both men have fam flies.

SOME LOCAL ITEMS.

Word has been received here that MT. and Mrs. F. R. Nellis will ar rive home from Los Angeles on July 1st. Ferd, we are glad to learn, is getting along all right now, and is expected to be able to travel by the above date.
 Last week Mir. H. c. Sanders stepped on a nail, the result being that blood poisoning set in and he had a foot on him such we hope never to be compelled to wear. Prompt medical attention, however, resulted in averting possible serious consequences.
 Dr. A. Tyroler the first of the week received dressed ] three choice lambs from Mir. Nathan Earth at Albuquerque. Owing to the warm weather Doc knew the meat wouldn't keep long conse- quently some other people had choice mutton to eat, too.
 The "home paper" never loses interest in you. It chronicles your successes and your sorrows wherever you may be. Those who would for get you but for the home paper, are ever and anon reminded of your existence by some item in the vil- lage paper where you spent your boyhood days. Others may deceive and defraud you, but the little home paper never forgets.
 MT. Esau Lamb has taken a number of ponies to Ash Fork, at which point he will conduct a livery business, thus filling a long felt want. MT. Lamb has made ar angements with James Wade whereby the latter will have charge of the Bill Williams mountain toll road and trail during the summer. Every attention will be given by Mir. Wade to the business and he will be ably assisted by Milton Farnsworth, who will act as guide.
 F. E. Mathes of the government geological survey, returned last Sunday from a twoweeks' outing on the coast, visiting Yosemite val ley and other points of interest. MT. Mathes and corps have taken up their headquarters at the Hance camp temporarily, and during the summer and fail will work as far east as the junction of the Little Colorado. He has promised to give us shortly an interesting article de- scriptive of his work in this sec ton.
 Last week mention was made of the recent marriage of Mrs Lydia Partridge, formerly of this city. Since then we are able to inform the public, through the kindness of Mrs. William Hayward of Los An geles, of the particulars. On June 1, in Los Angeles, Mrs. Partridge and Mr. Alexander Morrison were joined in the holy bonds of matri- mony by Rev. w. c. Geyer, also formerly of Williams. Her many friends here wish the happy couple every joy of life.

THE SHOOT AT BLUE ROCKS.
The Sheep Industry in Arizona.

It has been estimated that quar- ter of a million dollars has been re- ceived by Arizona sheep owners from the sale of wool and sheep near Phoenix during the past month. The wool crop was un- usually good and was sold at 16 cents, an advance of 4 cents over the prices of last year. More than 10000 head of sheep and lambs were shipped from this vicinity to market. The prosperity of the sheepman can be gauged by a story told by one of their number, H. c. Yaeger, who from a band of of 129O ewes had a crop of 1880 lambs.-Cananea Herald.
