FLAGSTAFF PROTESTS.

FLAGSTAFF PROTESTS.
 In accordance with the sugges tion of Gov. Brodie call for mass meeting at the court house was is sued by George Babbitt, chairman of the board of supervisors.
 There was large crowd in at tendance and the meeting was or ganized by electing George Babbitt chairman and H. c. Hibben sec retary. A committee consisting of E. M. Doe, T. E. Pollock. Harrison Conrard and J. E. Ruffin were ap- pointed to draft appropriate reso- lutions, which were adopted by the meeting.
 The following is the memorial adopted by the meeting:
 To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP
 REsENTATIVEs OF THE UNITED
 STATES OF AMERICA IN CONGRESS
 ASSEMBLED:
 Your memoralists, the people of Flagstaff and vicinity, in mass meeting assembled at the call of the board of supervisors of Coconi no county, Arizona, respectfully represent and show unto your most honorable bodies:.
 THAT, WHEREAS, Tho people of Arizona have long been desirous of admission to the union as a sover- eign state and have consistently urged their claims for such ad- mission;
 AND WHEREAS, It has come to our notice that it is contemplated by your honorable bodies to join in single statehood the present terri tories of Arizona and New Mexico;
 Now, THEREFORE, we do respect fully represent that, without dis senting voice we know it to be the sentiment of our people that, if statehood be not accorded their ter ritory separate and apart from New Mexico, they prefer to remain in- habitants of Arizona as a territory during the remainder of their lives rather than be citizens of a state composed of the two territories above named; that we are conver- sant with the sentiment of the peo- pie of this territory in this regard, and that such sentiment is unani- nous to the effect that admission in such form would be most obnox- ious to their feelings and injurious to their best interests.
 Among our objections to admis- sion in such form are the following:
 That the customs, laws and meth ods of legal procedure which ob- tain in New Mexico are radically different from and foreign to ours.
 That, in so far as territory may legislate, we have a system of law and procedure which we infinitely prefer to that prevailing in the ter ritory of New Mexico. The people of New Mexico, on the other hand, are no doubt as strongly attached to their system and methods. It would, therefore, unquestionably result, that, in the formation of the legal system and enactment of statutes for the proposed state by it's first legislature, through the nu- merical superiority which they would have over us, the people oi Arizona would be compelled to ac- cept system which they would !, regard as inferior and undesirable
 That we now possess all the pub. lie buildings and institutions de-

Grubstake Partnerships.

Grubstaking is an old-time insti- tuition among miners and prospec- tors, and many good properties have been discovered by men out on a grubstake. The custom of grubstaking is recognized by the courts as a sort of partnership, in which both parties to the contract usually unwritten-are protected in their rights. When contracts or agreement of this nature are entered into, it is customary for one party to supply the necessary tools, pro- visions and other supplies to the extent of a stated amount, or dur ing a certain period. The prospec- tor, being the other party, agrees to industriously prospect a stated region, or he may have rowing commission to seek where he may please. The agreement may only extend to the discovery and location of mineral vein, or may go further and include its development to a stated depth or condition, or during a stipulated time.
 Probably no two partnerships so formed are identical in their con ditions, but they are perfectly le- gal, just, and not infrequently prove to result fortunately to those interested. In the inception of such contracts the prospector may insist upon the one putting up the ''grub" and outfit, supplying all of these things prior to his starting out on the venture. If he finds nothing during the life of the agree ment the outftter can only look upon his investment as a loss. Should the prospector find valu- able mine after the termination of the agreement, he is not bound by law, or in any other way, to give an interest to his former partner, but, on the other hand, the pros pector may take no unfair advan- tage of his partner and convert to his own exclusive use any value he may obtain from the property. There is a difference between pure "grubstake" agreements and those where miner is employed at a stipulated salary or by some fixed agreement to find a developed and paying mine In the latter there is usually a fixed limit to the amount the miner shall receive as a com- mission or reward for his effort, but in the grubstake partnership each may enjoy the benefits of the venture to the full extent of their individual interest in their proposi- tion, as previously determined by the agreement.

Pursuant to a call issued by G. w. Martin, local member of the board of supervisors. in response to a request by Governor Brodie that the citizens of the territory in mass meetings assembled, express their views relative to the admitting of Arizona and New Mexico into the union as one state, citizens meet ing was held at the opera house last Monday evening and the sub ject thoroughly discussed.
 The meeting was called to order by Attorney X. N. Sleeves and upon motion Geo. w. Martin was made chairman and c. A. Neal secretary.
 Mir. Martin stated the object of the meeting in a few words and asked that the citizens express their views on the subject.
 It was the sense of the meeting that We should endeavor now, and always, to express as our sentiments that we are in favor of statehood, and SINGLE statehood only.
 A resolution presented by Mir. Sleeves was adopted and the chair man and secretary instructed to afix their signatures thereto, to- gether with the town seal, and for ward same to Delegate Wilson at Washington. The resolution is as follows:
 To THE HONORABLE, THE SENATE
 AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
 OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMER
 ICA, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:
 YOUR MEMoRIALIsTs, The people of the town of Williams and vicini- ty, in Coconino county, territory of Arizona, in mass meeting assem- bled, pursuant to a call of the board of supervisors of said county, most respectfully represent and show unto your honorable bodies:
 THAT, WHEREAS, the people of Arizona have long been, and they still are very desirous of admission to the union as one of the sovereign states thereof, and they have per sistently urged, and they still do SC urge their rights and claims for such admission;
 AND, WHEREAS, 1t has come to f the notice of our people that it is contemplated by your honorable bodies, to join, in single statehood the present two territories of Ari- zona and New Mexico;
 Now, THEREFORE, BE IT REsoLv- ED, that whilst we are all earnestly in favor of statehood fo1 Arizona yet it is the unanimous sentiment of our people, that we are unalter- ably opposed to joint statehood with the territory of New Mexico and rather than incur the disaster of joint statehood with that terri tory, we prefer Arizona to remain a territory indefinitely;
 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That we fully appreciate the earnest efforts of our delegate to congress in our behalf and that a copy O. these resolution be sent to Col Wilson, our present delegate.
 While there are many reasons why joint statehood with New Mexico is obnoxious to citizens O. Arizona it was the sense of tht meeting here that those reasons had already been presented a Washington and that a decisive statement from us that statehood single statehood-is what is desired
 Meetings have been called il nearly every town in the territor. and there is little doubt that, whel the protests of united peopl reach Washington, their wish il the matter will be considered

SHERLOCK HOLMES.
At the Opera House Next Thursday Evening
September s.

RESPONSIBILITIES and intrepidity of
Sherlock Holmes, as outlined in Sir
A. Conan Doyle's familiar detective
yarns, chronicled in print pale into
utter insignifcance as compared with
the especially prepared adventure to
suit the requirements of VIM Gillette,
through whose genius, capital play
was evolved out of it.
1t was surely an inspiration which
brought Mr. Gillette to the conviction,
that a play foun ded on the unique
character creation of Sir Doyle could
prove of exceptional interest to the
theatregoers and his suggestions re-
garding the infusion of a proper ro-
mantle spirit whereby Homes himself
should be involved was nothing short
of stroke of practical foresight.
Robbed of its romance, the tale would
still appeal on account of its thrilling
originality, however, the love episode
which is made entirely subseryient il
an added delight, for heart interest is
a recognized element of dramatic for
titude.
Then too, no little stress has been
put upon the comedy scenes, which are
plausibly conceived and cleverly ar
ranged. In nearly all of the glowing
reports concerning the merits of
sherlock Homes" as a play of
strength and virility, the humor with
which it abounds, is alluded to in the
highest complimentary terms. AS for
the production which will be seen here
at the opera house, Thursday evening,
Sept 8, the most absolute assurance is
offered, that every detail of the elabor-
ate scenic and surprising electrical
equipment, the same as used in the I'M
precedented London and New York
engagements-will be in full evidence
and the company employed is an en-
tirely adequate one, including as it
does, Mr. Enrol Dunbar, whose por-
trayal of Sherlock Homes, has been
the source of endless favorable COM
ment

A MAN OF MANY SUITS.

Suing Executors.

ID. p. Atwood Made Business OF
Suing Executors.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. I'd.
Preston Atwood, who came into pub
lie notice as the plaintiff ia suits
brought against executors of estates
who have been delinquent in filing an
accounting as provided by statute, has
appeared before notary public to an
swer questions put to hfm by attor-
neys acting as a committee represent.
ing counsel for defendants in the At
wood suits. A process server found
Atwood at local hotel. He has been
a somewhat mysterious individual.
None of the forty lawyers who recent
ly conferred with Attorney General
King to see If the suits could be
thrown out of court without calling
the legislature into session to repeal
been able to serve paper on him. At
wood appeared at the hearing with
his counsel, Mr.. Toomey of Bridgeport.
In answer to a question Atwood said
he lived three-fourths or the time in a
hired room in Bridgeport and the rest
Of the time at hotel In this city. He
could not tell the name of his landlady
in Bridgeport His property, he said,
consisted of wearing apparel and some
bedclothlng. He deals in real estate
and also is in the business of suing
executors" He is fifty years old, has
not voted for twelve years and does
not belong to any organization.
In all Atwood is thought to have
brought 1900 suits, many hundreds of
which he has discontinued on the
ground of mitigating circumstances"
If he could collect penalties provided
by the statute for delinquency he
would receive several hundred thou
sand dollars. He won number of
cases before he brought suits by
wholesale. Seven prominent lawyers
constitute the committee which con-
fronted Atwood. If this committee
fails to End remedy the governor
will be petitioned to call the legisla-
ture into session.
