The return of John M MeCartin. street commissioner, and Julian Kendrick, city engineer from the convention of the American Association of Municipal im- provements held In Montreal, revives the talk of crematory plant for Birming- ham. Both of these city officials gave careful attention to papers read at this convention on this subject and both assert that such a thing is possible for this city if the money can be raised. When seen yesterday shortly after they a1lght- ed from the train, both were enthusiastic over the convention and the new Ideas they had picked up concerning everything pertaining to utilities required by pro- gressive cities. They were kept busy all day telling how the next convention of the association was obtained for Birming- ham.
 "Yes; I certainly had profitable trip said MT. McCartin. ''The convention was a big success. I suppose there must have been at least two hundred delegates pres ent from all the big cities in America and Canada. Besides the delegates there were many ladies, including the wives and daughters of the members of the association.
 Many good papers were read. dis cussed and will be printed for distribu- ton. They had reference to improvements of all kinds, but what impressed me most was the methods of various cities in disposing of their garbage. It was the unanimous sentiment of every delegate with whom I talked that cremation is the only solution of the problem. Several papers on the subject were read and dis cussed. They showed that almost any city can get crematory that will destroy it's own smoke and it's own fumes, even though they are erected in the very heart of large municipalities. A crematory plant costs money, but I see no reason why we cannot have one sooner or later.

FOUND OLD CASES
 AGAINST A WOMAN
MANDIE LYNCH, A NEGRO, HAD TWO OLD CASES PENDING IN THE POLICE couRT-REsIsTED ARREST.

Mandie Lynch, the negro woman who gave Policeman Thomson so much trou- ble while arresting her Monday, might have been prosecuted severely yesterday in the inferior criminal court but for the fact that two old charges were found against her. One was warrant sworn out against the woman April A. 1902 by J. H. Cunningham, at that time a mem Der of the police force. The charge was using abusive language. The other old charge was for gaming. March 31 1902 She was fined s1 on each charge and s10 on the two charges for which she was ar- rested Monday.
 The Lynch woman resisted arrest in First avenue while In a state of intoxt- cation. Policeman Thomson intended to swear out a warrant against her, but de- cided that conviction on four charges was punishment enough.

OFFICIALS OBTAINED
 MANY VAL LIABLE IDEAS

s'Gettlng the conventlon7 I never saw such a scramble to come to Birmingham. If cur train had been much later I am afraid Chicago would have beaten us. though, for the committee on the next place of meeting had already selected the Windy City. We reached the hall. however, before the report was made and went immediately to the committee room. After reading letters in our pos- session from the Mayor, Commercial club and others. the committee took another vote, and the majority stood for Birming- ham. When put before the convention 1t stood five to one for Birmingham and tip vote was made unanimous.
 After adjournment we were sought by many who wanted information about our city, and the editors of four big municipal papers sought us for papers from time to time about Birmingham. MT Kendrick and I agreed to furnish them and in this way we expect to get much advertising for the city.
 Besides listening carefully to all that was said about crematory plants and other public utilities" said MT. Kendrick, q paid particular attention to everything bearing upon sewer construction. what I learned may help in the construction of the sewerage purifieation plant the county is building. I was deeply im- pressed with the gathering from the time I reached the convention hall until good byes were exchanged, and I look for one of the biggest gatherings in the history of the association next year when the convention comes to Birmingham. I never saw such a manifest desire on the part of so many people to go to any one place. A few of the members have been here, but the vast majority have not, and every may with whom I talked said he was coming and that he would bring his entire family"

CTS were unable to agree upon the elee- tion of a third. The property is un-
 der the management of W. A. Clark, who has had charge of it for years, and who was one of its earliest own- CTS.
 A great deal of work has been done on the property. There is one 1.lG0 foot shaft, and another 500. They are long distance apart, but they are con neeted by several tunnels. Then there are upraises and other extensive un- derground workings.
 MT. Beemer's wealth is rated official ly at $6,00O,000. He is a New York CT. His first venture in Arizona mines was in the property of what is now the Amalgamated Gold Mines com pany of Yuma county. The property consists of a large area of placer ground which was taken up by O. A. Pease. After some development of the prop 'erty he interested Mr. Beemer in it to the extent of $l25,OOO in notes. Un- der the contract between them, Mr. Beemer was to put in a quantity of machinery of one kind and another, in- eluding a 125 ton mill. A great deal of machinery including boilers, Cor liss engines, a traction engine, sup plies, etc, is now on the property. Af- ter a further development of the pro- perty, MT. Beemer decided that it would be better to sacrifice the money he had already put in and abandon his interest.
 He was probably preparing to re- move his machinery from the ground, and Pease probably sought to hold 1t there under his interpretation of the contract between them.
 At any rate a notice was published this week, signed by the company, per Pease, setting forth resolution adopted by the board of directors at Chicago, by which Beemer was remov- ed from the position of president and general manager, w. R. Russell from the position of general superintend- ent, and J. B. Girnd from the posi- ton of chief engineer.
 But the mill is not there. It is on the way, if, in fact, it has not already reached Congress Junction.

It IS probable that the Fools Gulch mine changed hands Friday. It was expected that the deal would he con summated the day before and if it has not been done it was probably done yes terday. The prospective purchaser was II. J. Beemer who had already had some mining experience in this territory.
 The figures are not known, but they are supposed 70 he somewhere between s5O.O00 and s7j.OOO. The property was once in probate court and a price of S40,OO0 was fixed on it, but con- ditions are different now. That situa tion followed the deaths within a short time of each other of two presi- dents, both of whom had been the heaviest stockholders. The stocEhold-

 species, and an hour later Joe was the
 recipient of all sorts of eongratula-
 tions on his prowess as hunter of
 the wild animals of the great south
 west. He couldn't tell whether Hat
 ton had killed the mother of the cubs
 or whether he had justly quietly pick

 Briefly state, the cubs, or kittens, as the old timers call them, are beau ties. They are trio that would prove drawing card in any dime mu- scum, and it requires but one inhala- tion of the atmosphere in their vicin- ity to convince the veriest tenderfoot that no such breed ever was born in captivity. The wild kittens are cer- tainly thing of beauty, but the "joy forever" business seems to be a mat ter of doubt in the minds of several of the visitors who were recipients of a full "whiff" of the aroma given out by these denisons of the wilderness.
 An effort will be made to send these young cubs to the menagerie located at the foot of the Murphy drive, where there are already several na- tive youngsters of this territory. The fact that a bounty of $20 per scalp is being paid by the county for noun tain lions leads to the belief that the kittens may be destined to serve as a eold-blooded transaction to get the The three will bring the own CT S60 from the county, and to save them as objects of curiosity for the Prescott zoo means that there must be slight advance in that price in order to keep them alive. Joseph is on record as a friend of the kittens, and says hat in the event of any movement to kill them for the scalp bounty he will adopt them and start zoo of bis own in a little side room that is not now being used in his business.

Deadly Combat With

Jos. Arehambeau, who has the Tepu- tation of being absolutely truthful when talking of his more famous deeds on the hunting field, and who is known for his prowess in this particular line of sport, was yesterday made to pay for considerable talk about town as to his having won battle in fighting a mountain honess and her three cubs. Down town the story was told of his hand to. hand encounter with the en- ragged mother of the cubs, and how he finally won the battle and rought the cubs to town to prove the story of the fight
 A visit to; his place of business on Gurley street in the afternoon proved that he really had three lion kittens in his possession, and one had but to get within smelling distance to learn that they were the "real thing" Be cause he. cannot tell a romantic story without smiling too broadly, he could not detail this great fight of his, as reported by his friends, and when the truth was known the entire story was too prosaic to amount to much. He was out hunting all right enough, and with the bad luck that simetimes fol lows the best of spOrtsmen he met with no adventure worthy of talking about.
 Yesterday morning Jim Hatton de- hvered a box to the place of business owned by Mr. Arehambeau, containing
