poets we're of realizing on the little
piece of paper Mr.. McNulty asked
Wolf if he had the money in the bank
which was represented by the check
This question, and VOLTS answer was
what caught him in the tolls of the
law, as he answered in the affirmative,
making a clean case of obtaining
money under false pretenses, as it
proved that be did not have any
money in the bank. Ordinarily, it
is difficult to make criminal charge
stick, for the issuing of check and
selling it for what one can get for it,
but the precautions taken by Mr.. Nc
Nulty in this case made it clear cut
obtaining money under false preten-
ses.
Wolf had his trial OH the Disde
meanor charge on Thursday and will
come up for sentence before Justice
Talbot this morning and as soon as
that case is disposed of he will be
given his preliminary examination on
the felony charge.

Held to Grand Jury.

Nelson Wolf was before Justice
Talbot Friday morning to receive seq:
tence OIL a misdemeanor charge of
which he had been convicted on Thurs
day and the dose given him was fine
of S25. 90 or twenty five days in Jail.
1t would have been no benefit to have
paid the fine as Immediately after
wards be was given his preliminary
examination on charge of forgery
the details of which we're given in the
last issue of the Journal Miner.
After hearing the evidence Justice
Talbot held him under $500 bonds to
ansaer to the grand jury and as he
was unable to furnish the bond be
would be compelled to remain in Jail
on that charge so that in reality he
will be working a double shift for
the next twenty FIVE days and will
accordingly be entitled to double IA
tions from the county.

NEW MINING WAGON ROAD.
Excellent Movement TO Begin to
Assist a Thrifty Section.

1t is stated that the new wagon
road to be built from Pine Flat to
the town of Mayer will be COM
menced at once. Men and material
necessary are now being secured, and
the work should be finished in few
months. This will be a desirable
highway for all of Turkey Greek and
surrounding country, and as we'll
will it readily facilitate the shipment
of ore and supplies to and from
MAYER, where railroad communica-
ton is established.
The region around Pine Flat is
progressing very rapidly and many
mining enterprises are in operation
there as well as anticipated. To con-
veniently accommodate this growing
condition is the object, and In view of
the Crook canyon road on the west
being practically impossible by
washouts this new road will be built
at another point andalong this route.

FORTUNATE IN
HIS INVESTMENT
Prescott Mining Man as
a Land Baron.
Lester Jackson Sees Ahead a Few
Years and Is Probably Reward
ed in a Mexico Land Deal.

Lester jackson, we'll known in min
ing circles of this section, but for
several years identified with similar
pursuits in Mexico, yesterday received
the good news that himself and two
others associated with him in a land
enterprise adjoining the city of
Oaxaca bad made "clean up by
disposing of fraction of the tract for
500, 900 in gold. He says that attend
ing this transaction, he realized on
going to Mexico some years ago there
was to be a steady growth of that
city that numbered at the time about
40, coo people, and with others he
bought tract of land adjoining that
thrifty place and formed a corpora
tion. His prophecy has proved true,
and with the prosperity of the city
its expansion has likewise followed,
and now includes this domain that
heretofore has been neglected by the
far seeing. The tract that is to be
thrown open to the public is the most
desirable as a suburban residence ad
dition, and will be utilized for his
purpose only The firm of which
Mr.. Jackson is a member also have
under their ownership still a greater
area than disposed OF, and it is but
reasonable to expect that the same
will be correpsondingly enhanced in
value by this late transaction. Mr..
jackson leaves this week for Detroit
ard will go from there to OaXaca.
His mining interests are located but
% miles from that city, embracing
two different camps, and which are
yielding handsomely in gold. He eX-
poets to return to this section in a
short time and has under negotiation
the purchase of several desirable prop
critics near this city and which will
be consummated in a short time.
In this connection he says that Yava-
pal has a very bright mining future
and in looking the field over and see
ing the progress that has prevailed in
This industry feels somewhat enthu-
siastic over the outcome AID especial
ly so when depth is reached.

and appreciative audience. The bish-
op is very fluent and eloquent talker
and he handled his subject in very
pleasing manner. The central idea of
the entire lecture was that of self sac

Methodist Conference.

The twenty-third annual conference
of the Methodist church, for Arizona
convened in the Marina street church
on Tuesday morning. The exercises
of the day began at $50 o'clock with
the sacrament of the Lords supper.
Bishop L. B. Wilson presided, as
sisted by DR.. S. j. Rogers and Rev.
H. F.. Tolle.
The service was very impressive and
tender.
The organization of the Mission
meeting was perfected as follows:
Bishop L. b. Wilson, LID, pre-
siding.
Rev. A. NJ. Gibbons secretary, Rev.
". E. Blair assistant secretary,
Rev. j. C. Rollins, statistical secre-
tary and Rev. W. NJ. Ayers, treasurer.
Supt. Rogers presented his annual
report. 1t was a carefully prepared
survey of the entire field. From this
report are gathered the facts that the
Methodist Episcopal church is occu-
plying nineteen fields in the territory
and from each one a report of prog
ress was possible. DR.. Rogers has
been in charge of the mission but

How Wolf Got in County IaiI.

Nelson Wolf, a pale looking young
man started cut few days ago to
have a good time and, as a result h
is now in the county Jail awaiting
sentence on a misdemeanoI charge
and also awaiting his preliminary
hearing on felony charge, and the
immediate future does not have very
roseate bue for him.
Wolf was formerly in the employ of
Geo. U. Young, at the Derby mine,
where be worked for a considerable
time, and received a number of
checks, which be had cashed in Pres
colt. a few days since he came to
Prescott and started a little check
factory of his own. The parties who
had been accustomed to cashing the
checks received by him from Mr..
Young had no suspicion of crooked
ness about his transactions and he
found ready sale at par for the pro-
duct of his factory. That is he did so
for limited period only. But as all
things matTeial are sure to come to
an end, his success and prosperity in
the check business ended also and it
was rather an abrupt ending.
Some of his checks bore what APP
peared to be the signature of Mr.
Young, but when submitted to the
scrutiny of the bank officials we're
pronounced base limitations only
The passing of one of them in the
Palace saloon, and getting the cash
for the same, was the cause of his un
doing and, was the basis of the
felony charge against him the parti-
cuIar species of felon charged being
forgery.
He also tried his hand on issuing a
few checks with his own signature at
tached, probably just to ascertain
how he was rated in the community.
Two of the latter was presented to G.
J. McNuIty, and b. H. Smith and

Death of Noted Indian.

Joseph, the great Indian chief of the
Nez Perces tribe, is dead. He was
great and strong man and whose soul
knew no fear. There is authority for
making the statement that he was per-
haps the most illustrious of all the
famous North American Indians.
The fame of Joseph will rest upon
his conduct of the war waged against
him by the United States troops in
1877, under Gen. o. o. Howard. The
combatants in that ensanguined strug-
gle were not notable for their num-
bers, there being only few hundred
on either side, but they were very
notable, indeed, for the skill, the
courage and the wonderful endurance
of hardships which they displayed.
Joseph, particularly, gave evidences
of possessing the qualities of splendid
commandership.
For three months Gen. Howard
pursued Joseph and his NeZ Perces
from Oregon across the Rocky Mount
aims, through Idaho and Montana,
distance of 1900 miles. The Indians
carried their women and children with
them and fought many battles during
their retreat. Though, defeated in
the end, it was not without honor,
and no one has paid Joseph higher
tribute than those who fought against
him. The red men were fighting for
their home and country and their
rights. In order to remove them from
their reservation it was necessary to
break treaty and to shed their blood
both of which outrages we're committed
upon them, to our everlasting shame
be it said.
But it is all over now and perhaps
we will neither deny nor begrudge
this old, dead hero a grave in the
beautiful valley of WalIowa of which
he was robbed in life, and for which
his heart never ceased to long.
A ing the military men who fgur-
that memorable campaign was
r Brodie of Arizona, who as a
Itenant of the, Second cavalry
dared such signally good work as
to receive the commentator of the
war department at Washington for
his brilliant service. The regiment
to which Governor Brodie was assign
ed made an overland march from Camp
Apache to Oregon and after the defeat
of Joseph, the present governor of
Arizona resigned his commission, and
not until the Spanish war
did he again enter the military ser
vice of his country. Again did he re-
ceive national renown, and again did
he retire from the service with dis
tinction and honor. The passing of
Chief Joseph at this late day, gives
an interesting Renaissance to those
days that we're filed with Indian hor-
rors, and those military men who
figured so prominently in subduing
them are entitled to the blessings of
the nation and among the living to
share this tribute is the esteemed gov
renor of this territory.

CASTS AWAY THE
OLD GARMENTS
Notable DeSertiOn From
Democratic Ranks.
Twice the Standard Bearer of Mas
sachusetts Democracy Finally
Lays Down and Quits.

The announcement by Robert Treat
Paine, Jr., OF Massachusetts, twice
democratic candidate for governor of
kthat state that he has decided to
vote for Roosevelt is significant of
what is going on in the eastern states
among men of abolitionist descent.
Mr.. Paine gives as one of the reasons
for his change: 81 am democratic
enough still to feel that L want the
president of this country to DE demo
cato enough to meet any man whose
character deserves it at any function.
/ have myself dined with Booker
Washington, and wonld consider it a
privilege again 20 do so. This is only
one of my reasons Tor desiring to vote
for President Roosevelt, but coming
of abolition stock and being born and
bred a republican. this aspect of the
case does have much weight with me,
l confess.
One of the inexplicable inconsis-
tencies of the campaign has been the
conduct of certain newspapers in New
England in uniting with the south
in Furnishing President Roosevelt
because of his treatment of Booker
Washington and colored citizens gen
orally. 1t is urged in excuse that the
race issue has not been Joined in this
campaign-as if there could be any
doubt as to where Roosevelt stands
upon it, or as to where the democratic
party, dominated by the south, stands
upon it. Mr.. Paine shows that he
at least is one man of abolitionist
descent who has too much self-respect
as we'll as too much conscience to oc-
cupy so ridiculous a position as that.

ing, broke away from the workmen
and took a course of its own down
the embankment end over end till it
reached the level of the Stag dump
some 200 feet below and then rested
just on the very brink. Had it made
only quarter turn more before stop
ping, it would then have gone at
least one thousand feet further down
into Bitter Creek.
