NEW CITY EDITOR.
0. L. Houston, of Indiana, Accepts
 Position on Journal-Mfner.
(From Saturdays Daiiy.)

Carl L. Houston, of Marion, Ind, ar rived Thursday to accept the position of city editor on the Journal Miner, the duties of which he assumed yester- day. MT. Houston has been engaged in the newspaper business since he was 13 years of age, and for the past four years has been city editor of the News Tribune of Marion, city with popu- lation over 25,OOO inhabitants. MT Houston had large staff of reporters and department writers under him, and this force supplied news material that made it necessary to run an edition of from 12 to 16 pages of seven columns each. In letter from the managing editor, Mir. Houston is commended in the highest terms, and a few days be- fore he started for Arizona, the News Tribune had the following nice words to say about him:
 "Mr. Carl Houston has resigned his position as city edTsOr of the News Tribune, and severed his connection with this paper today. In a few days MT. Houston leaves for Prescott, Ari- zona, where he has accepted position on the Daily Journal-Miner.
 "Mr. Houston has been on the News Tribune for several years, rising stead fly from a minor position to one of responsibility. He has been d steady, reliable worker, and has made the in terests of the paper his interests, until he has become one of the best young newspaper men in Indiana. The best wishes of the News-Tribune as well as his many other Marion friends will follow him to his new location"
 MT. Houston is a nephew of Dr. c. E. Pearson of McCabe, with whom he will spend the day tomorrow. He is thor ough gentleman and a man of agree able presence, and the Journal Miner comments him cordially to the gen. eral public and trusts that he will he extended those courtesies which are in- valuable to one in his profession.

Number Of Delinquents Is Smaller Than
 Last Year
Reason Is That The People Are Enjoying
 Prosperity
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The delinquent tax roll of this couz- ty for the year of 1905 as partially computed gives total of about $3s,- 900 as due the county. This defcien- ey represents a total assessment roll of about $253, 3,5ss.51.
 As compared with last year the showing made by the county is very creditable one in both instances, the delinquency in 1905 being s4s,OOO in an assessment roll of s239, ,23O.56. As the county prospers it would seem that the delinquent subjects arc materially on the decrease. an indication in itself which speaks handsomely as to finan- eial conditions evident along with in dustrial progress in all lines of bust ness.
 The best index of our prosperity as a whole is reflected from just such chan nels as this official data gives. In connection with what it proves it is an evident fact as the present year passes by and is about to come to close, the conditions that are prevailing in an easy state of trade and finance are to continue in 1906 to such an extent as to be surprising.
 More systematic work is going on to- day in all sections of this county than ever before, and linked to that face more substantial improvements are be- ing made in commercial and mining channels than ever before took place. The era that supports this wholesome situation is essentially broad one and is not confined to anyone sphere or to anyone interest of the county. It IS in every sense general in it's scope, and is solely attributable to mining and the kindred pursuits that go with it.
 This sections unmistakable prosper ity is the result of years of eeaseless work, and while it has been crystalized into bona fide and progressive elements, the past year signalizes the beginning of this advancement, and which no bet ter criterion than official records can give an adequate regard of the merits of the work accomplished.
 In 1906 the general prediction IS, that it will eclipse all former years, and if the evidence of prosperity now apparent is carried out. Yavapai should be the ranking county of Arizona in mineral production.

JURY CHOSEN ID DECIDE FATE
  IF PACKERS

CHICAGO, Dec. 22-The twenty-one persons and corporations who were in dicted on charges of conspiracy to restrain trade in the meat business will go on trial January 19, 1906, on their ten special pleas of immunity.
 The jury was finally accepted today, after S2 venirements had been on the stand. It consists of five farmers, three real estate dealers, two earpen- ters. one stock raiser, and one printer.
 After a long charge by the court the twelve men were allowed to go to their homes until the date set for the trial.
 The verdict of this jury will decide only whether or not the packers are to be tried on the main charge in the case or go free altogether, because un- der the law they are entitled to i'm munity from prosecution, if, as they as- sert, they furnished evidence against themselves during the Garfield inves- and which evidence, it is de- clared by defendants, was used against them in order to bring the indictments.

To this technical construction of the law party partisans acquiesce, and the most threatening attitude of the congress of the United States now confronts us an organized determination so men, acing to our future welfare as to go un- needed by none-men of might bow ing the hinged knee that party prosper ity may be perpetuated, that self-ag- grandizement may follow, that mer- cenary prayers may result from the fawning, and-to hell with the wishes of the people of Arizona.
 The situation is serious one. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. Let us hope, but let us not indulge in hope alone. Action, quick and tireless action, should be the disting- uishing feature of all Arizonans at this critical moment. The Prospector would here suggest that the city council of Tombstone meet at the ear Hest convenient moment and by reso- lution voice the sentiment of the peo- pie in regard to the matter of joint statehood with New Mexico. Justice is hoodwinked and manacled; but while there is life there is hope.

SEARCH LIGHT |S TURNED ON
 MUTUAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Additional testimony as to the management of the Mutual Life was adduced today by witnesses before the legislative com mittee on insurance investigation, tending to show that the company used the profits from the sale of securities to conceal the reduction in book va lues of real estate or losses, as Hughes called them.
 Francis Hendricks, superintendent of the state insurance department, when on the witness stand yesterday said he never heard of such a thing, and that it had never been called to his attention.
 Today, after the auditors of the Mu- tual Life had testified to this fact, Isaac G. Vanderpool, chief examiner of the department, declared that he had not discovered the matter in his exami- nation of the company last year, when in his report he gave the com pany what practically certified "good character. He said these manipuls tions of figures were not apparent in the books. These transfers of profit to the debit side of the profit and loss account were made by the auditors upon the instruction of President Me Curdy and Vice-President Grannis, and the written instructions were produced. They named figures that adjusted ac- counts, and last year, while there in reality was a profit of almost a mil lion and half dollars, when these transfers were made, no profit whatever was shown.
 vanderpool said he examined the report of 1904, which showed no profits from the sale of securities. Although he knew this to be untrue, he did not so report it, because he thought it un- necessary.
 The same condition of affairs existed in the New York Life, according tc Vanderpool, although the practice was not general. When asked what he di6 in the matter, he said "fNothing." Van derpool said he had examined the Hanover bank account of the New York Life in 1904, and did not find the $100,0o0 that was alleged to have been paid to Andrew Hamilton.
 The committee adjourned over the Christmas holidays, and will resume its next Wednesday, pursu- ing it's inquiries until Saturday, which will be the last day of the committees

I am sure if l had had time I could have made a speech.' Then came a solo by R. A. Williams, entitled "The Sentinel Asleep" which showed his fine bari tone voice to great advantage, and responded to an encore with solo en- titled, "The King and Me-" The audience then arose and sang "Ame- rica," after which they retired to the banquet room, where a very choice menu was served, consisting of sand wiches, entrees, cake and coffee.

F. M. Murphy Appeals For Helpers In
 The Fight
Delegation Needed To Voice Ariz0na'S
 lT0.LS.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

In letter written by Frank M. Mur- phy to a friend in this city he makes a valuable suggestion that should be adopted. The situation is critical and MT. Murphy urges that a number of leading citizens should come to Wash ington and join in the light against the Hamilton bill. He says:
 "The citizens of Arizona who have true interest in Arizona's welfare should be untiring in their efforts, and it would be good thing if a number of influential citizens, who are enthusias- tic in their desire to defeat joint state hood, and are competent to defend the territorys cause, were in Washington at this time, or could arrive here right after the holidays, to talk with the congressman and senators and be in terviewed by representatives of the press. I do not think there is very much in large committees, though a re- presentative man from the principal towns, and one or two from each county at any rate would, I am sure, have a good effect"
 Extracts from a letter written by MT. Murphy to MT. Frank Dibert, of Santa Fe, a copy of which was receiv- ed by A. W. Edwards, of this city, are herewith published, as they voice the sentiment of every true friend of Arizona. He says:
 oI am satisfied that if the citizens of New Mexico, who believe in their territory and its great development. stand up like men and refuse to be die tated to and manipulated, even by Beveridge and t'e President, and hungry politicians in Albuquerque, the time is not far off when Arizona and New Mexico will each be admitted to the Union as separate states. We can well afford to wait many years if neees- sary, rather than to be forced together, as I am satisfied any forced union such as proposed would result disastrously for both territories. There would be a constant fight waged between the sections in spite of anything that could be done, and if forced together now believe another separation would follow later. The President is un- doubtedly mistaken, and Beveridge is undoubtedly misrepresenting the facts wiifully. He is having the statement circulated very generally that corrupt politicians, railroads and mine owners in Arizona are hghting joint state hood purely from selfish and dishonest motives. The fact is, the only politi- clans who are advocating joint state hood are those who are holding office now, or hope to get office, not that all of the federal officials, by any means, are supporting joint statehood. but some of them are, and others will prob ably join their ranks now that the Pre- sident has gone one record in the force full way he has, but they will not cut much ice in Arizona, as you will even tually see. I am not one who thinks that President Roosevelt has all the wisdom. believe that the citizens of Arizona and New Mexico know very much better than he does what they want, and, as a matter of fact that they are entitled to receive, and I think he will find there is a majority in each territory who are not afraid to fight for their rights.''
