Goldwater Gets Monument Funds
(FrOm Fridays Daily.)

kIIpHI IludN DdhN.J
 Mayor Morris GoIdwater, treasurer of the Captain O'Neill Rough Rider Monument commission, now has $355, the first sum turned over to him to be applied on the erection of the shaft to the memory of Yavapai's dead hero
 For the past five years the money has been in the keeping of Rev. Father Quetu. to whose custody it was en- trusted about five years ago by NJ. J. Hickey, who had gathered it from various sources.
 When the news first reached Pres colt that Captain O'Neill had been killed on San Juan hill on July 2, 1898, Hickey and others started movement toward the erection of monument to his memory. It was con- tinued until the Prescott fire of 1900. After that efforts were turned toward the legislature for an appropriation.
 Hickey stated yesterday that he had a list of those who had promised to give sums toward the monument, which totaled about $500. Of this amount he was unable to collect more than $355 prior to 1900. In the fire of that year his list of subscribers was destroyed, and he has collected mo- thing since.
 Efforts were made by other parties to collect funds, but no record has been kept of their success. If there is any money now that belongs to the mOnu- ment the commission would like to hear from parties who have it in their pos session.
 Speaking about the early efforts that were made toward a monument, Mir. Hickey stated that Meyer Bros., Albu- querque cigarmakers. secured the con sent of Mrs. Brodie to manufacture the Captain O'Neill brand of cigars, with the understanding that they would cohlrIDulc H- lOr every l-OUV clSdrs sold. At the time they turned over $l00. Inquiry will be made to deter mine whether or not they still owe any royalty to the monument fund for the sale of cigars since that time.
 It is believed that if all the money promised or paid in few years ago can be secured the commission will have about 5000 with which to swell the fund

asked that the board pay him ffty-ive cents day for the keeping of Refufo Dorami four days in the preceding July, thirty-one in August and thirty days in September. The board allowed him the full bill of $35.75.
 The grand jury alleges that Refufo Dorami was in the hospital on the days between July 2s to August 4, and that at the rate of fifty-fve cents a day he was entitled to only $40 for the eight days she is alleged to have been an inmate.
 Among the witnesses who were ex- amined by the grand jury in the Thom- as case were H. D. Ross. C. P. Hicks. and J. H. Robinson. Probate Judge Hicks records show that Refufo Do rami was committed to the territorial insane asylum by him on August 4. 1903, and that he has a receipt show ing that she was received there on the following day.
 It is stated by the defense that Thomas is innocent of the charge made against him, and that as much will develop when he is tried. It is hinted that spite work will be shown to have figured in his indictment.

 Governor J. H. Kibbey, chairman of the territorial republican committee, and District Attorney F. E. Ellinwood. chairman of the Territorial Demoera- tic committee, have decided to join hands to fight joint statehood.
 EllinwOod stated last night that he will follow in the footsteps of Cover nor Kibbey, and call a meeting of his committee to be held in Phoenix on May 27 to arrange for organization to joint statehood with New Mexico-
 Within few days Attorney Ellin- wood will bend Setaetaoinetashrdluu bers of the Territorial Democratic com mittee summOning them 10 gather in Phoenix on May 27 to go into a joint convention with the members of the Territorial Republican committee
 Chairman Kibbey and EllinwoOd have already talked the matter over together, and both agree that there is urgent need of organized action in view of the fact hat in New Mexico a joint statehood league has been formed to promote sentiment in Arizona and New Mexico in favor of the jointure plan.
 By bringing the committeeman of the two parties together in Phoenix it is hoped that much good will be ae complished and that in future the two parties will work in greater har- mony and more to each others inter est in fighting the joint statehood in- icuity.
 In a recent letter to the Maricopa county board of trade. Governor Kib- Icy set forth reasons why the two t.rritorial committees should get to- 2 ther in Phoenix on May 2. He says in part:
 'Upon consultation with the Hon. F. F. EllinwOod, chairman of the de- mOcratie territorial central commit tee, he advises me that he will issue similar call for meeting of that com mittee to be held at Phoenix on the same day.
 '' am also advised that the board of trade of Phoenix will invite representa- tives of commercial and business org anizations in the various towns and cities of the territory to meet at Phoe- nix on that day for like purpose.

Maxwell Waited Long for Coin.
(From Fridav's Dailv.l

(trOm Friday DallY-)
 To have S125 deposited in the Pres colt National Bank, but to be unable to draw it out because of peculiar mat ters involved is the position in which Michael Maxwell has found himself for several months. Today the bank will hand him out the money, and his troubles in that connection will be at an end.
 Maxwell has wanted the money, and the bank has wanted to give it to him, but they could not, in view of the fact that he had lost his certificate de- posit, with little chance of ever get ting it back. Cashier F. N. Freder- ieks was ready to pass out the coin at any time under the right eireum- stances.
 On August 3, 1903, Maxwell went to the bank, and deposited 800, that he had saved while working in a mine. On August 20 of the same year he deposited $33 more, making the total of $125. He accepted certificates of deposit, but was informed that he could not cheek against his deposit.
 He returned to the mining camp sa- tisfed, taking with him his certificates. In a. suit brought against the bank a few days ago he alleged that these two certificates had been stolen from him by Jake Weeden, who took them to Cananea.
 As soon as they were stolen Maxwell stopped payment at the bank. Not long afterward Weeden sent them from Cananea to the bank. with what ap- peared to be Maxwell's signature on the back. Maxwell claims that it was forged by Weeden.
 The bank had the money, and Max well had no certificates; the question now was how could the bank pay him his money without the certificates, and be protected against their being brought in later and payment demand ed upon them.
 Maxwell employed Attorney J. E. Morrison, and the latter arranged witsS MaxweH's s relatives to put up bonp to secure the bank against possible loss. The bond arrived yesterday from Wellsvilie, N. Y., and the money will be paid to Maxwell today.

Thomas Appears To Answer Charge
(From Friday's DaiIy.l

(From Fridays Daily.)
 For the second time within the past two years William Thomas, superinten- dent of the Yavapai county hospital, faced Judge Sloan to answer to charge of presenting an unlawful de- mand upon the county for services rem dered in his capacity.
 Attorney R. E. Morrison represented the defendant in court to answer to the charge of having falsifed his books, as the result of which the county is alleged to have paid him $35.75 for keeping Refufo Dorami in the hospital sixty-ffve days, when she had been there only eight.
 Thomas was arraigned, and will plead to the charge this morning. His bond was fixed in the sum of $1,000, which amount he was released to se- cure and deposit with NJ. J. Watts. clerk of the district court. It took some time to get 1t.
 An indictment was found against Thomas by the grand jury last We'd resday. as told exclusively in the Jour ral-Miner of yesterday. Wednesday evening a warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of the sheriff 's office. Thomas was notified, and ap- peared in court yesterday morning without the formality of an officer go- ing after him.
 The indictment against Thomas sets forth in full the nature of the charges against him. and just how he is alleged to have secured $31.35 from the board of supervisors to which he was not en- titled.
 It shows that on September 30. 1908. Superintendent Thomas presented his claim to the supervisors, in which he

"I deem it important that there be a full attendance at these meetings, as to great extent the measure of our opposition to joint statehood will be estimated by the earnestness and tho representative character of our efforts.
 CT appreciate the sacrifice of time and expense that may be involved in this convention, but I trust that the extent of our opposition will not be measured by our unwillingness to make this sacrifice. I am advised by prominent men of all parties that the danger is grave-the effort and saeri- fee certainly ought to be equal to the danger
 "Redueed rates, not to exceed one fare and one-ffth, will be given, and l am assured by the Phoenix board of trade that a hearty and cordial wei come will be extended to those attend ing these meetings.

 Call Is Issued.
 Attorney Ellinwood last night pre- pared the following call to the mem bers of the territorial democratic com mittee:
 It is deemed of the gravest i'm pOrtance that immediate steps be taken to effect an organization in op- position to the proposed scheme of joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico. and to this end I have con- eluded to issue call for a meeting of the committee, to be held in Phoenix on Saturday, May 27, 1905.
 You are therefore notified that there will be a meeting of the terri torial democratic committee held in Phoenix, Ariz., on Saturday, May 27, -9O5, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the pur- pose of giving expression to our views upon the question of joint state hood, and for the further purpose of creating an earnest, active and effec- tive organization in opposition to the proposed merger of the two terri tories
 A like call has been issued for a meeting of the republican territorial central committee by it's chairman, Hon. Jos. H. Kibbey, to be held at the same time and place, and it is eontem- plated that the two committees will meet in joint session, and further, that the meeting will be attended by the Phoenix board of trade and other civic and commercial organizations of the territory, as well as prominent citizens regardless of political affiliations.
 I deem it the absolute duty of ev- cry member of this committee to at tend.

Joker Is Found In School Law.
(From Fridays Daily.)

(trom Fridays Dally.)
 The good citizens of Prescott who are interested in the success and in promoting the efficiency of the public schools, will be surprised to learn that no relief, after all, is to lbe obtained from the legislature in regard to pro viding funds by taxation for the main tenance of the manual training and l sewing departments. Although such law was enacted, it is now discover ed that the bill contains a "bug," which practically nullifies the objects for which it was intended, and Henry T. Andrews. clerk of the board of trus- tees, thus explains the situation in the following communication:
 "Since the publication of the laws passed by the last legislature. it is learned that the manual training bill did not pass as it was originally draft ed. Our graded schools, as most per sons are aware, are maintained from the county school fund. The manual training bill, as originally drawn up, provided that manual training ex- penses should be paid from the same fund.
 Immediately after the bill was pass ed, Leroy Anderson wrote City Super intendent Blllinghurst that it went through without any change whatever. But on reading the law as officially printed, it is found that the word "dis- triet' has been substituted for "eOun- ty' in such a way that to pay for ma nual training and sewing in the Pres colt schools it would be necessary to levy special local tax in the school district for such purpose. This meth Od of securing funds would increase To- cal taxes to such an extent that we training in our public schools.
 ''It would have been entirely con sistent and just to have paid for ma nual training from the county school fund, as the Arizona school law now permits special teachers of music and drawing to be paid from such funG. Moreover, it would be eminently fair to the larger towns of the territory. since all of them pay into the county school fund more than they get back for the support of their own local schools. Prescott. for example, at one time paid twice as much to the county school fund as our own local schools cost. The balance goes to the support of the outside district schools, many of which are far from self-sup- porting. Hence, we think our ma nual training teachers should properly be paid from the county school fund.
 "Mr. Anderson is greatly surpris- ed that the manual training law was not passed as drawn up, and does not know where or when the change was made.
 ''The trustees of this district take this opportunity of thanking Mrs. Hugo Richards, the members of the Monday Club, and all those who have made voluntary contributions in their snIendid work of introducing sewing and manual training into our public schools, and very greatly regret that the law, as passed, will not permit them to continue these subjects in our schools.

MINING NEWS.

In the vicinity of Wickenburg there are indications of increased activity. Here, as elsewhere, the heavy rainfall has until lately handicapped both mining and milling operations. The Orc Grande Mines Company is keeping its ten-stamp mill in operation and the savings are said to be satisfactory. The White Gold Mining Company is erect ing a twenty-stamp mill. The Black Rock Mining Company is completing plant of sixty tons capacity; the equipment in the mill including crush ing rolls. A cyanide department is also being added. Fred H. Perkins is the manager. The Electra NJ. 6 NJ. Co. is also arranging to resume work, as is the Interior Mining and Trust Com pany owning the O'Brien mine. There is some talk of the early extension of a branch railroad from Wickenburg to Constellation and other Black Rock district points. Occasional shipments of high grade ore are being made from the King Solomon mine. of which John Allis is manager.
 A valuable deposit of nitrate of po- tash is said to have been discovered in the vicinity of Briggs. Yavapai eoun- ty, about twenty-eight miles northeast of Wickenburg. The known extent of the deposit is given as having width of 800 feet and length of more than a mile. In the crevices of the up- heaved rocks stringers Jr the material carry as high as 90 per cent nitrate of potash, while the mineralized rock it. self is said to carry anywhere from 3 per cent to s per cent. throughout.
 The Congress Mines company's ey- anide plant is treating about 135 tons of ore daily, the ore coming mainly from No. shaft and from the 1875 foot east and west levels. The shaft from that point to the 2,O5O foot level is said to be in good grade milling ore. This ore is a shoot hitherto undiseov- cred in the mine. A level is being run at the 2,059 foot point. Professor M. Goodloe is the general superintend- ent. Sam Gum is the mine foreman.
 It is stated that the Ray Copper Mines, Ltd, may resume extensive work at the property near Kelvin. Ex- periments for proper method of leach ing the ores have been under way for some time under the direction of W. H. Westerfelt of New York, who is now on the ground. A. c. Gordon is the company's resident manager.
 It is reported that the Omaha Copper company will start work on its prop erty near Kelvin.
 Shipments to the Douglas smelters from Bisbee are now averaging about 2.50O tons daily. They will soon be exceeding this figure by nearly third. A year ago the tonnage was hardly two third of what it is today. At Douglas the ore received is going into the smell ters just about as fast as it comes to hand. though recently an endeavor has been made to get reserve supply es- tablished at both the smelters.
