DIVIDEND WILL
 BE PAID SATURDAY Open DepoSitors of Bessemer Savings Bank to Get Money LOSES MISSISSIPPI CASE Rain Stops Baseball Game In Second Inning-Deputy Sheriff Fountain
 Gets Reward-PersonaI
 and General.

Besemer, June Especial )-Receiver George H. Stevenson of the Bessemer Savings bank announced this morning that on next Saturday, July l, he would pay a dividend of 20 per cent to the depositors on open account with the de- funt savings bank. This is the second dividend that has been paid by Receiver Stevenson.
 The attorneys for the receiver of the bank have received notice that the chan cellor of the Mississippi court at Natchez, Miss, in the case of the receiver of the Besemer Savings bank vs. the original stockholders of the bank, had rendered a decision against the receiver.
 The case will probably be fought out in the supreme court of Mississippi.
 The opinion of the chancellor has not been received by the attorneys in this city and it is not known on just what point the case was decided against the receiver. It is the opinion of the attor- neys, however, that it was held by the chancellor that the receiver of the Bes- semer Savings bank. who was appointed by the state of Alabama, did not have the legal right, according to the Missss- ippi statute to maintain suit in Mississ- ippi.
 In discussing the case one of the attor- neys stated that he was not surprised at the decision rendered yesterday, and that he was of the opinion that under the laws of Mississippi the chancellor would decide against the receiver. It is hoped by the attorneys that when the case is reviewed by the supreme court of Miss issippi that as matter of comity between the state of Alabama and Mississippi thls body will reverse the decision of the lower courts.
 The amount for which the receiver was seeking to recover is something over $63, 600.
 Yesterday Judge Senn of the Birming ham city court rendered a decree author- izing the receiver of the Savings bank to pay a second dividend. This payment will make a total of 45 per cent that has been paid to the depositors on open account.

ARIZONA'S NEW GOVERNOR.

The senate on Monday, without a
dissenting vote and without any oppo-
sition whatever confirmed the appoint
ment of Judge j. H. Kibbey, as gov
ernor, of this territory and he will no
doubt assume the duties of his office
within a few days.
President Roosevelt has done many
good things for Arizona, but nothing
he has ever done has resulted in such
general and manifest satisfaction as
the appointment of Judge Joseph II.
Kibbey to be the governor of the ter
ritory. While many good and able
men have served with distinction in
the executive chair, every circum-
stance indicates that Judge Kibbey
will prove a worthy successor to the
best of them. His intimate knowledge
of the needs and conditions of the
territory affords him an immediate
command of the situation and his
recognized strength of character, tenn
pered by an admirable tact, peculiarly
it him for the difficulties of his
office.
No one understands better than
Judge Kibbey how manifold and dis
tracing are the burdens of governor
under present conditions here. But
he enters upon his duties absolutely
free and unhampered. No clique or
faction has any claim upon him. and
the only obligation under which he
labors is to faithfully serve the people
of Arizona. Impartial and fearless as
a Judge, so he will be as chief execu-
tive. No doubt the trials he must
meet will make sweeping demands on
his patience and tact, as we'll as on
his strength and ability, but he will ne
supported in every emergency by the
heartiest confidence an good will of
the people. The high esteem in which
he is held will increase with the pro-
gress of his administration, the sue
cess of which is already assured.
While he is at this moment the recip-
ent OF many cordial congratulations,
the journal Miner, though sincerely
and gladly adding its Own, desires es-
pecially to congratulate the territory
on the accession of so good a man to
the office of chief magistrate. To par
aphrase an expression frequently heard
lately IN Prescott relative to Judge
Kibbey's appointment, Lucky Ari-
Zona.''

The present legislature, thus far has
not performed a class of legislation
that would be vote getter for state
hood. Such laws as those of governing
chickens and hogs running at large,
the creation of new offices, of which
there is no earthly use, the creation
of a superior court, which would be a
useless appendage to the territory as

ing of a system of giving due bills
which affects only few individuals
and has no bearing whatever on the
public good, and other bills of a SINH

In nothing more so than in mining
does distance lend enchantment.
When the great strike was reported
in the Klondyke country prospectors
fiocked there from every section of
the globe. Later Tonapah aud Gold
field attracted the seekers after
wealth. While few made fortunes,
suffering, privation and even death
was the lot of many others. Recent
developments in the Quartzsite region
in this territory, while not attracting
people from distant places, have at
tracted many from different parts of
Arizona to that place. While many
are going there Others are leaving and
a few days since rarity arrived from
there for the purpose of prospecting in
the Bradshaw mountains. The life
generally of the miner and prospector
is one of endless change.

The United States supreme court has
! Just rendered decision of vital inter
est to mining men. The court has de-
cided that funnel company which
opens up a vein or body of mineral in
an unpatented claim has rights prior
to the locator of the claim. The
point is that it makes no difference
when the claim was located, so long
as the tunnel company discovers the
ore before the locator of the lode gets
his ratent or discovers the ore, the
mineral rights go with the tunnel
rights. The decision was rendered in
the case of the Creole aud Cripple
Creek Mining and Milling company
VS.. the Unita tunnel, Mining and
transportation company, and was in
favor of the respondent. The suit was
first started in the district court in
this county in 1897. 1t was appealed
to the United States district court in
Denver and from there to the United
States court of appeals at st. Louis
and finally to the United States su-
preme court. -Denver Daily Mining

MINING INTELLIGENCE

The Jerome News claims to have in

most reliable source, that deal has
been consummated whereby the Cop
per Chief mine passes from control oil
its present owners. The Copper Chief
is located on Equator Hill about sew
en- miles south OF jerome, and is the
west extension of the Senator Clark
Equator mine. 1t is estimated that
there are four million dollars worth
of ore in sight in this property. As
the price asked for the property is
one and half million dollars, it is a
certainty that the purchasers will op-
crate it extensively. This is undoubt-
eddy the most important and interest
ing piece of mining news given out in

MANUAL TRAINING BILL PASSES

Our representative, Leroy Ander-
son, telegraphed Supt. Billinghurst
last evening that the Manual training
bill passed the council at Phoenix
yesterday, and now only lacks the gov
ernor's signature to become law. 1t
passed the house some ten days ago.
a remarkable thing about the bill is
that its passage was unanimous in
both the house and the council. Great
credit is due Mr.. Anderson for his
splendid work in behalf of the meas
ure. From the first he has been a
most earnest advocate of the work of
manual training in our public schools,
and has familiarized himself with the
best manual training and domestic
science systems of the country. He
has thus been able to meet and bar
monte the various objections that
have been raised against the passage
of the bill. 1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Anderson has earned the everlast-
ing gratitude of all of our citizens who
have the interests of our public
schools at heart. 1t is safe predic-
tion that within the next quarter of a
century, this legislation will be re-
garded as the most important addition
to our school laws that has been made
since the establishment of the common
school system of Arizona. 1t is a
pleasure to note that in his efforts for
this bill, Mr.. Anderson has been ably
assisted by Mr.. Hull, Nh. Perkins
and DR.. Looney.
The bill as passed, provides that
manual training and domestic science
may be taught in the public schools
of Arizona, the same as other branches
and that in towns having an enumer-
alton of two hundred pupils, special
teachers may be employed the same as
other teachers and their salary paid
from the common school fund.
In this movement, it is gratifying to
note that Prescott has been the first
town in Arizona to offer instruction
in sewing and manual training, as is
also the case With kindergarten in
struction. For the past three years,
the Monday club has talked manual
training. Over two years ago, Mrs.
A. D. Adams came to one of Pres
colts attorney and asked him to draw
up manual training bill. The bill
then conceived, was endorsed by the
Monday club and became the parent
of the present bill. Some months la
ter, Mrs. Hugo Richards came forward
with the proposition to pay the salary
of teacher to teach sewing to the
girls of our public schools and her
proposition was carried into effect.
The Monday club then determined to
provide wood work for the boys, and
a committee appointed with Mrs. R.
r. Coleman as chairman. This
committee has done most effective
work and has had both the financial
and moral support of the entire Mon
day club. The committee has had
most cordial encouragement from
Prescott s citizens, many of them hav-
ing come forward voluntarily with
handsome contributions to the fund.
All of these will heartily rejoice in
the passage of the bill.
