Big Strike Was Made Late Monday
 Afternoon
Officials Leave Soon For Homes In
 Illinois

President Connolly and Treasurer G. A. Shearer, of the Tiger Gold Mining Company, are registered at the Con- gress Hotel. President Connolly is from Springfield, H., while G. A. Shearer is. from Peoria, H. These two gentlemen are in Prescott in the interests of the Tiger Gold Mining Company, making a tour of inspection and generally taking care of such busi- ness matters as may properly come before them.
 President Connolly stated that there was no special significance attached to their visit at his time, as their prop erty is at the present time in a very desirable condition, it having been i'm proved steadily for the last three years. Everything is in fine workmanlike or. der, work. progresses steadily, about one hundred men being worked on full time, and as their machinery is all new he states with pride they have never stopped operations in the last three years.
 Last night their superintendent re- ported a large body of high grade ore in the number eleven drift, which l. HOO feet below the surface, was un- covered, and that there can be no doubt that they have here true Gs- sure vein. The ore at this level shows up better than at any other level in the mine, all of which goes to show the true nature of the mine. and de- monstrates that they are just entering upon the developing of their real and best body of ore. Their concentrates and bars are all shipped to Fl Paso. Texas.
 President Connolly and Treasurer c. A. Shearer will remain Tn Prescott 8 few days longer, when they will re. turn to their respective homes.

Steals Butter, Ham and Eggs
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily)
 Smiths meat market. about the middle of the block between Cortez and Montezuma streets. and one of the most prominent business houses in the city. was entered and robbed yes terday morning of forty pounds of butter, a large ham. and several dozen eggs.
 The robbery was discovered vester- day morning by W. F.. Davis. one of the cutters employed at the shop, when he came to open the place. He notified the sherif's office. and Chief of Police Prince at once. but they have failed to find any clue to the identity of the thief
 Entrance to the shop was gained by cutting through a screen door. The screen was turned aside. and the thief crawled through. He got out through the back door of the place. leaving it open after him. Only the screen doors are closed and locked. and it was an easy matter to get in.
 In getting away the thief evidently dropped several of the eggs he had stolen. a trail of broken hen fruit be ing easy to follow from the rear door to the point where the alley in the rear of Gurley street enters Montezuma.
 Chief Prince stated last night that he has received information to the effect that a strange man was seen in the doorway of Smiths shop yester- day morning shortly before l o'clock. He acted as if drunk. and staggered out of the doorway when seen.
 The officers believe that this is the same man that perpetrated the robbery and that his drunkenness was only subterfuge to allay suspicion at a time that he might have been in the act of cutting the screen.
 Just what anybody would want with forty pounds of butter unless for fam- ilv consumption is a matter tha pug zles the police. They are inclined to the belief that the robbery is the work of some member of the poorer class in this city.

Phoenix Board of Trade Calls a Big Mass
 Meeting
Invitations To Attend Sent Throughout
 Territory

What will undoubtedly be a monster mass meeting to protest against joint statehood is that which will take place in Phoenix on May 27, invitations to which have been sent to all prominent citizens and organized bodies in the territory. The Journal-Miner is in receipt of one of these eommuniea- tions, which reads thus:
 "The Phoenix and Marieopa COun- ty Board of Trade hereby extends an earnest invitation to all commercial or ganizations, to boards of supervisors, and to mayors of all cities and towns within the territory of Arizona, to send as large a delegation as possible to a general mass meeting to be held in Phoenix, the capital city, on Satur- day, May P, at p. m.. to the end that the meeting may be thoroughly repre- sentative of all interests. The objects of the meeting will be for the inaugu- ration of a concerted territorial move ment to give united expression to our opposition to the proposed jOinture of Arizona with New Mexico as one state, and to initiate measures for the or ganizatiOn of -joint-statehOod leagues in every county and town in the territory.
 fGovernor Kibbey, as chairman of the Republican Territorial Central Committee, and Hon. E. F.. Ellinwood, as chairman of the Democratic Terri torial Central Committee, have each issued a call to their respective com mittees to meet in Phoenix on the same day for the purpose as stated therein:
 ''To give expression 70 our OppOsi- tion to the joint statehood of New Mexico with Arizona, and to assist in devising means of making that oppO- sitiOn effective"
 After meeting and adopting resolu- tions as representative of the great political organizations, the members of these committees will join in the de- Alterations of the general mass meet ing representative of all interests.
 United States senators from Cali fornia and other distinguished men have been invited to attend the meet ing.
 It is vitally important that there be full attendance at the meeting, as to great extent the measure of our op- position to joint statehood will be estimated by the earnestness and the representative character of our efforts.
 Reduced railroad rates, not to ex- eeed one fare and one-ffth will be giv- en and a hearty and cordial welcome will be extended to all in attendance. as early as possible the number and names of delegates who will attend.

Concentrator for Bannie Is Next
(From Saturdays Dailv.l

Secretary W. J. Wilsey, Treasurer F. E. Evans, nd Director John Teaz re- turned yesterday afternoon from the Bannie property in the Walker dis triet, after two days spent there to get in touch with the progress being made.
 Wilsey reports another good strike of ore there in tunnel that is now in 13j feet under the main ledge. At about loo feet in a breast of ore in the tun- mel. over three feet wide. carries rich gold, silver. copper, and lead values.
 The Bannie purposes to have con- centrator capable of handling forty tons of ore every twentyfour hours in operation by the middle of next Au- gust, machinery for which will soon he shipped by the eastern manufactur- CTS
 At present the property is being de- veloped under contract by A. J. Confess. who has three shifts of six men each sinking the shaft another 100 feet, and making preparations to drift a like distance. As soon as his contract is completed. steps will be taken to arrange for further development.
 Wilsey said last night that the com pany intends to have three large power drills. operated with compressed air in the mine in the near future. With these it is expected that much better pro gress will be made, and large amount of ore taken out of the mine by the time the concentration is ready to op- crate.
 Speaking for himself and Mir. Evans. it was stated by Mir. Teaz last night that they are more than favorably i'm pressed with Prescott and this section of the territory. They will return to their homes in New York with fatter- ing accounts of what they have seen.
 According to Mir. Wilsey the Walk CT section is more active at the present time than it has been for several months. The Senator and Walker custom mills are both running. and several idle mining properties are again being worked by their owners. 
 ''The whole district is beginning again to look like it did couple of years ago" remarked Mir. Wilsey. "As soon as several of the companies can get the water pumped out of the mine workings. they will put men to work to sink and drift Prescott people have good cause to feel elated over what is going on around Walker. though they may not hear much about it..

Shelter Assured for Val Verde
 District.
(From Tuesdays s Daily.)


 The construction of 600-ton smelter at Val Verde is now practically assured. C. E. Finney, who has charge of the construction of this shelter. is in Pres colt, returning here for the purpose of furthering the active work in regard to this matter.
 Mir. Kinney states that all the ma chinery for the construction of this plant has been ordered, and that the first shipment will be made no later than by the middle of the month. Cy- rus Robinson, the constructing engin ger, and C. C. Burger. will arrive in Prescott within few days, for the purpose of consulting with NIT. Finney, and devoting their entire time to the erection of this smelter.
 It is anticipated that the sampling works will be ready by the latter part of July, and the company has all esti- mates, plans and other preliminary de- tails prepared in anticipation of an ear ly start. and when once operations are under way they will be pushed with the greatest of vigor.
 MT. Finney states that he does not anticipate any delay in the arrival of the necessary machinery as all arrange ments in that regard have been com pleted.
 The contracts will involve an expen- diture of large sums or money, from which the city of Prescott will most likely derive a benefit. The company is known as the Arizona Smelling com pany, and the smelter to be erected is in place of the one destroyed by fire several months ago at Val Verde.

Roemer Is Given Ten Years in Yuma
(From Saturdays Daily.) Ten years for Fred ROemer.

(From Saturdays Daily)
 Ten years for Fred Roemer.
 It will be that length of time before Roemer returns to Prescott from Yu- ma unless he breaks out of jail. is par doned, or paroled. has his sentence commuted. or he receives credits for good behavior.
 Roe4lcr stood with other criminals before Judge Sloan yesterday morning to receive his sentence. When the court solemnlv condemned him to serve ten years in the territorial penitentiary he heard his fate without even the qui- yer of an eyelid.
 Attorney J. c. Forest, who has act ed as counsel for the man, was present, and spoke a few words in his behalf. asking the clemency of the court on account of Roemer's large family, who are now thrown on their own re- sources.
 Four indictments were brought against Roemcr by the recent grand jury. To each of them he entered plea of guilty, though people are won dering why he did not make defense. He is believed to have money in the bank. and might have made a strong insanity defense.
 It was Judge Sloan s duty to sen tcnce Roemer four times. The first was for the burglary of the J. I. Gar diner store, for which Roemcr received seven years. He was given one year each for grand larceny in the Gardner, Morris Goldwater and Brown Bros' stores. making the total of ten years.
 The disposition of the Roemer ease removes a sensational affair from Prescott to Yuma. He was arrested several months ago. while in the act of robbing the Gardner store. Mrs. Roemer was found seated in a buggy outside the building. The grand jury failed to indiet her.
 From the Roemer case Judge Sloan passel on to the sentencing of others,

Railroad Seeks a Cinder Bed
oFrom satnrdav,s Dailv.N

GFrom Saturdays Daily.)
 An action brought before Judge Sloan from Yavapai county, and which will be heard in his chambers, will have some effect on the extent to which railroads and other large cor porations in Arizona can go in con demnation proceedings to obtain pro Perty needed by them.
 The action in question is that brought by the Grand Canyon rail road to condemn forty acres of desert ground along the line of its road about nine miles from Williams. It was to have been heard yesterday by Judge Sloan, but the parties were not ready.
 The land is owned by Dr. F. B. Per rin, of Williams. and is near Red lake, consisting of a small hill. composed en- tirely of volcanic lava or cinders. It is said to be especially useful in bal lasting railroads.
 The Grand Canyon road wants to ballast it's track from Williams to the rim of the Grand Canyon, a distance of about sixty miles. It is estimated that 200 ear loads are used to the mile pr q total for the entire distance of l9.OOO ear loads.
 Perrin appeared in court yesterday afternoon. represented by Attorneys Walter Bennett. of Phoenix, and F. M. Doe of Flagstaff. Doe was formerly Eistrict-attorncy of Coconino. and was defeated in the last campaign by H.. r. Aashurst. J. c. Herndon ap- peared for the Grand Canyon company.
 The Perrin people have asls~l that The Grand Canyon company be put un- der a bond of S5O.OOO should they de- sire to go ahead with their plan of taking out the cinders. They claim that this amount is too great, and are willing to stand a smaller bond.
 Just what the railroad should pay for this forty acres is the main question at issue. The company believes that s2.5o per acre would be fair price. but Perrin believes it should be sev- eraI times that amount. They claim to Toe in position to prove that at fixed market value the 12.000 ear loads of cinders would be worth the large sum of s5O.ooo or $6O.OOP. They are willing to take less.
 Interest is being taken in this case because of the question as to how much latitude the law allows the railroad companies in condemning other peo- ple's property. It is argued that if They can condemn the cinder bed they can do the same for timber, water sources and other materials.
