Ben Williams Sentenced For Influencing
 A Witness
fudge Sloan Delivers Stern Lecture To
 Interpreter
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

l
 Shortly after converting of the Un. tied States court yesterday morning the case of Ben Williams, the Indian in- terpreter, accused of tampering with witnesses of the prosecution in the Bruchman cases, was called up by Judge Sloan. Williams was asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced for the con- tempt he had given. Immediately Col. Wilson, one of the attorneys for the Bruckmans, arose and stated that so far as he and the Bruckmans were con- cerned, it was startling to all on his side that MT. Williams had acted so indiscreetly and unwarrantedly, and nc desired to impress the fact upon the court that neither he nor his clients were in any way linked to the actions of Williams. In fact, they all dis approved of it.
 Judge Sloan then pronounced sen tenee, saying: "The court does not i'm pose sentence in any spirit of resent ment, but for the protection absolute ly of the integrity of the court, of its officers, and of the witnesses who are called here. While it is possible that this offense was done in ignorance, in sense, the defendant may not have known it was a contempt of court, but his sense of right and wrong should have told him. To improperly infu- ence a witness is a moral wrong, and it ought not to be done under any cir cumstanees. This thing compromises the attorney, compromises the court, and compromises everything connect ed with the administration of justice, and tends to bring courts into con- tempt; and it is due the administra- tion of justice for the court to reeog nize the gravity and seriousness of any sort of an attempt to influence wit recognize the seriousness of this case and fix the punishment accordingly. The judgment of the court is that you be confined in the county jail of this county for a period of sixty days, be- ginning with today"
 Williams was dumbfounded at his sentence, and was led down to his cell in a dazed condition.

the limited depth cut into, the showing was excellent.
 The Hidden Treasue lies in a for. nation of granite, and the vein can be distinctly traced running north and south for several miles. The values are carried in a vein of porphyry, and when worked by Mir. Goron, streaks of very high grade ore were often cut into, the general average in values of everything mined warranting the plae- ing of a mill.
 Among the mining fraternity there is not a piece of ground in eastern Ya- vapai that warrants practical and ear nest development work more than does this particular group, and the an- nouncement made yesterday that it was again to be operated and methodic- ally so at that carries the firm belief Of many that it will be a very profitable enterprise in the future for those who are linked to it. It lies in the Black Canyon district, about five miles from Turkey on the Bradshaw railroad, has good wagon road communication, and from a mineralogieal feature is desirab ly situated for the making of a good piece of property.

Arizona Ob- jects to assuming the responsibility that would be heaped upon her through the creation of MT. Beveridge's 'Ari- zona the Great Instead of prospering, that part of Arizona the Great now embraced within the boundaries of the present territory would suffer ir- reparably, and the great things the senator claims would result from joint statehood would never materialize.
 eff Arizona is merged with New Mexico, as contemplated, her great wealth and bright future will be sub- jected to the convenience and ambitions of the New Mexico politicians. The New Mexico portion of Arizona the Great would outvote Arizona two to one. New Mexico might, indeed, de- velop rapidly, but what would be- come of Arizona' Left alone as a territory, inside of five years it will have a population of at least half a million, and eventually become a rich and powerful state.''

MoRMoNs SHOWN CLEMENCY BY
 COURT.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

In the United States court R. E. Moi rison, attorney for Joseph W. Smith, Henry M Tanner, Jessie N. Smith, D K. Udall, Joseph Fish, J. W. Brown, John P. Rothlisbeger, and Joseph Butler, who eeently pleaded guilty to unlawful cohabitation, all being mem bers of the Church of Latter Day Saints and residents of Apache and Ma vajo counties, made plea for clemeney on behalf of his clients, promising that his clients would live up to the strict intent of the law in future, and the court assessed fine of $100 on each, in default of payment of which a jail sentence at the rate of s was i'm posed with a suspension of sentence Os 30 days in order to enable the defen ! ants to pay the fine.
 The case of Levi M. Savage, who also pleaded guilty to the same charge, was continued for sentence later, it be- ing thought by the prosecution that it was a more aggravated one than arT of the others. A peculiar feature cor nected with this case is that the plural wife of the defendant is a cripple, ana he is too poor to support her, so that she is compelled to live in the same home with the defendant, and his first wife, although a separation and dis continuance of marital relations, i' said to have taken place between theri after the passage of the Edmunds ae:.

THERE IS HOPE.

In a dispatch from Washington, Frank M. Murphy says: ct is the opi- nion in well informed circles here that it will be impossible to pass a statehood bill this session admitting Arizona and New Mexico as one state, and that t will be certainly impossible to pass such bill without giving the people of Arizona the opportunity of voting on it separately.
 The citizens of the territory should not be fooled and alarmed by the statements issued and inspired by Sen- ator Beveridge. All the members of the Tawney party who visited the terri tories last fall are working hard against joint statehood, and it is be- Iieved that the Hamilton bill will be killed in the house by the Republican, vote alone"

HIDDEN TREASURE TO RESUME
 WORK.
(From Sundays Daily.)


 The annual meeting of the stockhold- CTS of the Stark Gold Mining com pany took place yesterday in Massil- lon, Ohio. Immediately after the termination of the meeting, E. Harvey Smith, the president of this organiza- tion, telegraphed to the agent of the company in Prescott, that it was de- cided to resume operations immediately and instrueting him to perform the annual assessment work as well as to arrange other matters preparatory to resumption.
 This is gratifying news to this sec tion, for many reasons. The Stark company over two years ago acquired by purchase the well known Hidden Treasure group of gold mines, and i'm mediately after closing the transac- tion, they erected a first class ten stamp quartz mill, constructed many buildings of an up-to-date character, equipped the mine with a good hoisting and cyanide plant, laid pipe line to Dripping springs, four miles distant, purchased the above springs, in all having a complete enterprise on top of the ground, and a group of mining claims that enjoyed an excellent rat ing in gold production.
 Shortly after the completion of their works above outlined, differences arose within the company, and the plant and the development of the ground were closed down, and in this condition the affairs of the company have been at a standstill for nearly eighteen monhs.
 When the Stark company entered the field and acquired the Hidden Treas ure ground, Charley Goron had for years previously operated and devel- Oped this group, and successfully so. Shipment after shipment of ore was made to points outside of Arizona, and for nearly a decade he not only paid for the extensive development of the ground at many points, but lie profted handsomely in securing sur plus over and above the operating ex- pense. The only machinery on the pro- perty up to the entry of the Stark com pany was whim, and when the eapa- city of this appliance was reached, this crude mechanism was shifted to an other point. By this means the pro- perty was well prospected so far as sur face work goes. At every point in

Joint Statehood Would Be A Curse To
 Arizona
Principally Politicians Are Supporting
 Jointure
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

NiAOn 1uCouaF Ddhy.I
 F. M. Murphy is at Washington in the thick of the fight against joint statehood, and he thus expressed him. self few days ago to a reporter of the Washington Post:
 CT have been in hopes that the Pre- sident would listen to the prayers and petitions of Arizona's representative citizens and refuse to recommend joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico But from what have heard I should judge that disappointment awaits Ari- zona. Not ? per cent of the entire population of our territory favors joint statehood with New Mexico, al though understand the President has been led to believe otherwise. The joint statehood clique of Albuquerque, N. M., have not hesitated to misre- present the sentiment that prevails in Arizona, and the handful of their al lies in Tucson, Ariz., enemies to their territory, have gone them one better, and sent telegrams broadcast reeking with falsehood.
 "Senator Beveridge makes the statement-at least he is held respon- sible for articles that have appeared in the eastern press-that the rich mine owners, railroad men and corrupt poli- ticians are the only ones in Arizona and New Mexico who are opposing joint statehood. He should have placed the corrupt politicians with the joint statehood advocates, and then on the other side, so far, at least, as Arizona is concerned, farmers, bankers, mer- chants, members of the bar, doctors, and every church organization, leav- ing as supporters of the joint statehood idea only a few federal offce-holders, few worn-out politicians, without standing in either party, and possibly half dozen lawyers who have imag- mary grievances against the existing judicial system.
 "Naturally there will be some con- verts when it becomes generally known that the President is with them. It is pretty tough to find the prayers anl petitions of those who represent the best interests of country thrust aside as of no consequence by the simple statement of Senator Beveridge that their representations are prompted by purely selfish motives and should not be considered.
 "Arizona is not seeking admission to the Union at this time. Arizona is appealing for those who have braved the Apaehes, the outlawry of the from

Pretended At Simmons To Be A Postal
 Inspector
Is Recommended To The Mercy Of The
 Court.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 T. J. Wilcox has been caught in tho trap he laid for others. Yesterday in the United States court the entire day was taken up in trying him on a charge or impersonating a postal inspector, and the jury after deliberating for nearly three hours, brought in a verdict of guilty as charged.
 The history of this case is an inter- esting one. Wilcox in 1899 visited the Simmons post office, and informed the postmaster there that he was a re- presentative of the government postal service, so four witnesses stated, and requested of the service a cut in the pay for carrying the mail to Kymo, a near by office. In reality he was but the representative of J. T. Angland, who had contract for that mail route, and who had sublet. it. Will .cox's ruse was to revise the route, and let another contract for the benefit ot his employer, as the system was run ming behind at other points and also on that one. In short it was elasse1 by the contractor as a bad contract.
 Wilcox procured affdavits of eiti- zens, and finally secured a change in the route, and this move ultimately led to the institution of proceedings against him. Many witnesses were ex- amined who were present at Simmons at the time, and each eorroborated the other in saying that Wilcox repre- sented himself as a bona fide inspector, and endeavored to have the contract price reduced, which was done, a sav- ing of $6O year being given on the regular price allowed by the govern ment.
 The penalty of the crime is from three months to three years. Wilcox has been in jail in this city for over a year awaiting trial, and the Jury were unanimous in the opinion that he had been sufficiently punished, and accordingly recommended him to the mercy of the court.

"There never was a time in the his tory of the territory when Arizona has attracted so much attention in the east" remarked Geo. W. MiddeI- ton on Sunday evening at the Burke. who has just returned from a t1p to New York, during which he was ab- sent six weeks.
 "There never was a time when It has been so easy to secure capital for investment here," he continued, and added: "There was never a time when there has been so much development work and prospecting as at the present time. But active as things are now," he continued, "there will be ten times as much doing in sixty days. This will largely come about through the starting up of the new smelter, which is to be the most complete and modern in equipment in the United States. Some of the mines will then turn out an out put that will surprise the people. Very little is heard of the greatest mine in Yavapai county today, barring the United Verde. I mean the De Soto. Two carloads a day are going to thu smelter, and after awhile there will be so much turned out that the railroad will have all it can do to handle the ore from that mine and from the Brad shaw section.'

BIG PLANT FOR METALS
 MILLING COMPANY
Crushers, Rolls, and Concentrators To Be Installed Says
 c. W. Middleton

MT. Middleton brings the gratify- ing news that the Metals Milling com pany of which he is the general man. ager, is to install 250 ton plant, con sisting of crushers, rolls and concen- trators. Work on this enterprise will be started at once, and he states that there is ample ore blocked out to run the mill to its full capacity.
 MT. Middleton is also the active spirit in promoting an electric roa from the Poland tunnel to the Mount Union mine, and he stated that the plans are progressing satisfactorily, although there are some details yet to be arranged before the project can be started.
 Probably with one or two excep- tions no man has brought more capital into this county for investment than MT. Middleton. He has the conf- dence of large financial interests in the east, and whenever he recon. mends a proposition, he never fails to enlist their active and substantial CO., operation. The Metals Milling com pany, with mines at Walker, is a de- termined success, and many believe that it will become one of the biggest producers in the county.
