Mrs. Kempster, wife OF Richard Kemp
ster, OF Syracuse, N. Y, hasidentified
she remains of the Cutler Mountain
victim as that of her daughter, Mrs.
Bessie Bouton, aud has started with
the remains for New York.
The identification was made COM
plete by the dental work upon the
teeth and by a scar upon the right
side OF the left ioreinger, as we'll as
by the hair.
The mother charged that Milton
Franklin Andrews attempted to MUIR
der the girl by poison while on the
Pacific Coast, and this convinces the
police that il they can capture An.
drews they will be able to establish q
good case against him.
The body Of Bessie Bouton was found
O n Cutler Mountain, south OF this
city, on the afternoon OF December II
last. The woman had been shot in
the head and every article OF her
clothing removed. The body had
been placed face downward, and in
an effort to prevent recognition
gasoline had been poured over the re-
mains and q fire built under the face.
The extensive dental work was not
destroyed, and 1t was this that led
to the positive Identification OF the
victim.

mas granted to the territory by that body. On. certifies that Arizona nas been awarded the gold medal for the best display of minerals at the expo sition. The other certlfies that Arizona has been awarded the gold medal for the best display of alfalfa at the ex- position. There is accompanying the information that the medals will fol- low later, the certificates being for framing and display.
 The meanins of these medals is d great deal to Arizona people and to investors generally who hear about them, particularly the one awarded for mineral displays. 1t testifies to that which Arizonians have known for a long time, but have oad hard work to impress on eastern people and that is that Arizona is the greatest mining field on earth. She hasn't all the big mines, nor has she more of them than some other states, but she has tne re- sources, the gold, silver and copper ledges that make the big mines when they are developed, and in addition deposits of greater or leas quantity of almost every metal utilized in com merce or the sciences.

taken in the valley, but am conserya- tive when I say that all over the coun- try Phoenix Is being watched
 q say Phoenix, and I shall explain that: Many look on Phoenix as an in dicator of the advancement of the valley And this is true, for the ad- vancement of the valley will mean the building of a greater Phoenix. I thlnk the realty market in Phoenix will ad- vance this winter as never before. IL will not come in jump, and it is well that it should not. A boom should be evaded for there is nothing more un- healthy for realty values than to sell on valuations possible twenty years hence.
 Tt should be the work of the real estate broker to see that that is done. It Is not a hard matter to do, for there are few owners who would not see the great ultimate loss in inflated values. To a newcomer who has been in fire insurance business nothing could be more assuring to him as to the value of Phoenix real estate than the heavy list of special rates made by the in surance company. It speaks well for the municipality, for the ratings al- lowed here compare favorably with any of the larger cities of the coast. I have confidence in the future of Phoenix; at any rate so much so that I have come here to stay"

IF PEOPLE ONLY KNEW
This Valley Would be Over run by
 Homeseekers.

A. F. Stumpf, manager of the realty firm of A. F. Stumpf & O.. who re- gently opened offices at 42 North First avenue, is authority for the statement that if the resources of the Salt River valley were known to all of the people who come into the southwest from the north and east, many of whom now find their way to Los Angeles and southern California, as high as 90 per cent of them would choose this section to locate in. MT. Stunlpf sad that he did not, of course, mean the health seeker, but when he made the state ment he had in mind the man with a family who Is leaving his home in the east to find a new location where he can invest his capital and labor Tn some productive enterprise.
 "In the valley surrounding Phoenix ' said MT. Stumpf yesterday afternoon, there are more opportunities for the homeseeker than any place I have ever been. and I have looked over the en- tire field. A man can put money into a ranch and not only get lucrative re- | suits, but at the same time he has a healthful employment. The conditions in the east. where nearly all lines arc overrun, make it necessary for many , wage -earners and investors to look to the west, and I certainly believe if it could be made known that the soil of this valley can produce more than the soil of any other section in the west and such is the case, that fully go per cent of the immigrants from the east would come here.
 'The aggressive and progressive &C., tion of the board of trade and several enterprising real estate dealers has done much towards spreading tne news, and their efforts should not be undervalued. Those who are here year in and year out do not realize the in terest that is at the present time being
