Reorga mixed.

At special meeting of the Pro- montorio Consolidated Mining Co.,, held at the company's office in No- gales, Arizona, on the 18th inst, important changes were made in the directory and management from which there are anticipated far reaching and effective results. Mr. R. M. Eberle of Los Angeles, was elected president; Mr. Robert Christie of Owen Sound, Canada, prominent attorney at law in the Dominion, was made vice presi- dent; Mir, A. H. Merwin Of Los An geles, secretary; Mir. Norman Rob- inson, manager of the Traders Bank of Canada, Owen Sound, treasurer; and they, with the fol- lowing named gentlemen, constitute the board of directors: Messrs c. ". Eberle, R. E. Paulsen of Los Angeles, California; H. ] Futile, wholesale commission merchant, W. H. Everson Detroit, Michigan; John Armstrong, K. C.. pr. NJ. Cavanagh, Owen Sound; R. A. Thompson, M. F., Linden, Canada.
 The board of directors appointed Mir. H. s. Eherle general manager.
 Work at the mine has been re- sumed already, and during the past week there has been employed large force of men repairing roads and making ready for freight ing. Contracts have been let for moving out to the camp the ma- chinery for 100-ton plant, which has been some time at Nogales, and the movement will begin Monday. The air-compressor will be started at once and work of sinking the deep double compart- ment shaft will be resumed. As soon as all machinery for the big plant is on the ground work of in- stallation will begin. The property is a great one, and will be a source of profit and revenue to it's owners through many years.

 Miss O'Daly of this city, sister of the murdered man, and Mrs. .Gabilondo, sister-in-law of Mr. O'Daly, left yesterday morning for Imuris, the home of Mrs. O'Daly and her two children.
 Everywhere are heard expres- sions of regret at the death of one so valuable to the mining interests of the country and so generally admired as a man. And equally as numerous are expressions of sympathy with the bereaved family.
 1t is not yet known If the re- mains will be brought to this city or 10 Imuris for interment.

Jose Gaxiola died at his home on West avenue, near the inter- national line, Saturday, after long illness. Mir. Gaxiola had been in the City of Mexico and was there taken sick. He returned to Nogales about two months ago, and here hissisters, the Misses Luz, Lola and Margarita, and his brother Carlos, nursed him ten- derly and did all that could be done for him, but without avail. The young man was twenty-two years old. The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The funeral was held from the Catholic church Sunday afternoon.

MEXICAN MURDERER coRRaLLED BY
 ARIZONA RANGERS.
Escaped Convict from Altar, Sonora, Who Had Been Hunted for
 Eighteen Months.

Luis Rivera, convicted murderer, suspected horse thief and all round bad man, after being hunt ed for eighteen months by officers on both sides of the international line, has been captured by Arizona rangers and spent the week in the Santa Cruz county Jail, awaiting extradition by the Mexican gov- ernment. The capture was effected by Sergeant Billy" Olds and Garland Coffee, rangers who make Nogales their headquarters.
 The officers returned to Nogales Sunday evening, after 8 weeks trip in the country, during which they visited the ranges where roundups were in progress. They learned that Rivera had been seen in the Orc Blanco district and were on the lookout.
 Friday evening, as they reached the summit of a small hill over looking the corral at Miguel Borrola's Canova ranch, they sight ed the fellow in the corral, about to saddle a horse. Sergeant Olds, who was slightly in advance of his companion, covered the desperado with his Winchester, at the same time galloping to the gate of the corral, thus shutting off all possi- bility of the outlaw springing upon q horse and making a dash for liberty.
 Though realizing that he was in- deed corralled, Rivera was for a minute apparently unconcerned- He made no move to obey the order to throw up his hands, but turned to the officers with a mock ing smile and said:
 .'Go on and shoot"
 All right, old man," replied the ranger, sighting his Winchester for d spot between the mans eyes, "I'll shoot you quick enough, if you don't get your hands up"
 The bravo's demeanor changed instantly. He made no effort to reach the gun in his belt. Instead he trembled with fear and raised his hands high as he could. Nor did he cease to tremble for fifteen minutes after he was handcuffed. He had seen death in the rangers eye as it glanced along the barrel of the Winchester and the opening in the muzzle of the gun looked not unlike the gate to the internal regions, compared with the Altar jail as he remembered 1t at that moment. Despite his oft repeated boasts that neither American nor Mexican officers could ever take him alive, the capture was effect ed without bloodshed.
 Rivera escaped from the jail at Altar, Sonora, Mexico, about eigh- teen months ago and since that time has been sought by the officers on both sides of the line.
 The Bisbee Review Tuesday stated that the man was wanted

WELL KNOWN MINING MAN VICTIM
 OF ASSASSIN.
Killed at choix, Sinaioa, Mexico, Thursday-M Murderer In JaiI.
 No Details of Crime.

William V. O'Daly is dead. He was murdered at Choix, state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Thursday. The murderer has been apprehended and is now in jail at Fuerte, Sinaloa. News of the assassination was tele- graphed Thursday to American Consul Albert Morawetz of Nogales, Sonora, by Mayor F. K Cranz of this city, who was in Sinaloa with Mir. O'Daly. No details of the crime were given, the message stating that details will be sent later. The story of the assassina- ton will probably reach Nogales tonight by mail
 NIT. O'Daly was in Nogales the last time about a month ago. He left here in company with Chief Engineer Mcfarland of the Cana nea, Yaqui River < Pacific rail- road and Mayor F. F. Cranz of Nogales, going to Sinaloa in the interests of the extension of the road with which Mir. Mcfarland is connected.
 ! The assassin who struck down Mir. O'Daly robbed the southwest of one of its best posted mining men and robbed Mexico of one wro had done much toward the development of the mining inter- ests of that country.
 For about twenty years he had operated in Arizona and Mexico, having been connected at different times with some of the largest mining corporations having inter- ests in this territory and Sonora. Though practically a resident of Imuris, Sonora, where his wife and children still reside, he retained his citizenship in this city, where he was known to all old timers and almost everyone else. Especially among mining men in Arizona and Sonora Mr. O'Daly enjoyed a large acquaintance.
 An expert and practical miner, a civil engineer of wide experience in mining and railroad work, he knew Sonora like book, and was ever in demand by mining com panies. An authority on mines, his services were always in de- mand and it was due to knowledge of the country and of railroad en- gineering as we'll that his services were sought by the Cananea, Va qui River < Pacific road on the trip he was on with Mir. Mcfarland and Mir. Cranz when he was mur- dered.
 Though no account of the crime has been received here, people who have know Mir. O'Daly for years are of the opinion that he was shot from ambush or stabbed to death while asleep. He was a large, powerful and active man, a | quick and sure shot with rifle or revolver. and one not likely to he

 Long was Manuel Ruiz.
 The Bisbee people got the iden- titles of Rivera and Ruiz mixed. Rivera is not Ruiz and is not the man wanted at Bisbee.
 Manuel Ruiz has relatives in Nogales, Sonora, and has been in that town a number of times since the murder. The sheriff and other officers here have been watching for chance to get him across the line, but the fact having been pub- ished in the Bisbee papers gives Ruiz warning. Knowing now that he has been spotted" it is not likely that he will again visit No- gales, for couple of years at least.
 In fact, itis beginning to look as if Rivera were not wanted in Mexico. Though notified that he is here in jail, the Mexican authorities have taken no action in the matter to lead to his extradition. He has retained Attorney w. A. O'Cornor as counsel and unless some action is soon taken iii his case it may be necessary to liberate him.
 Mir. OConnor Thursday obtained an order from Judge Campbell at Tucson directing Sheriff Fowler to bring the prisoner before him at that place yesterday, in answer to an application for writ of ha- beas corpus made by the attorney.
 Chief of Immigration Geo. Webb at Tucson was notified and secured warrant for the arrest of Rivera on charge of being an alien crim- inal. Should he be released on habeas corpus proceedings he will probably be taken in charge by the immigration officials for deporta- ton. In that case the Mexican officers can easily learn when and where to expect him.
 In the murder for which Rivera is wanted in Mexico, he had two companions. From ambush they are said to have shot and killed a young fellow of about nineteen years of age. One of the murderers Is now in jail in Altar, having been convicted the same time as was Rivera. The third of the bunch was never captured.
 After serving about year at Al tar Rivera escaped and was next seen on the Arizona border. Here he has been suspected of numerous thefts of horses and has been hunt cd by the Arizona officers. From time to time he has been seen by cowboys on the ranges but as he has always given them to under stand that he would die fighting, but never return to jail, no lone ''vaquero" has cared to pick 8 quarrel with him.
 But there is one man in Altar who will be particularly pleased to see Rivera return to that place. That IS the man who was jailer at the Altar jail when the desperado escaped from that institution. He was convicted of negligence and sentenced to serve time till the fugitive convict should be returned to the jail, or to serve the prisoners time.
 Rivera is said to belong to one the most respected families in the Altar district, and it is said to be due to family influence that he es- capped death sentence when com victed couple of years ago.
