SITUATION AT ST. JOHNS
(From Fridays s Daily.)

The district attorney of Apache county, George H. Crosby, has been in Prescott for the past two days. He speaks very interestingly of the con ditiOn of the Little Colorado valley in connection with the breaking of the St. Johns dam, on Tuesday, May ?.
 The farmers have been left in a very unfortunate condition, their crops are entirely ruined, and their outlook for the summer is one to be sympathized with. It will be some time before they will recover from the shock, and their source of water for the future is rather uncertain. The conditions at the time of the breaking of the dam were one of extreme excitement and terror.
 A courier was sent ahead to warn the people of the approaching calamity and as he advanced he left train of terror and excitement in his wake. The break was not unexpected, but like all accidents of this Kind, it caught the community unawares. Everything of value that could possibly be trans ported was taken to place of safety.
 The great wash of water came ear " in the afternoon. fortunately, not during the night. Bridges were wash ed away, the onlookers being electri- fled at the strength and force of the water. It is now a desolate valley. Where once green fields held sway, where the cattle browsed in content ment, there is nothing but a barren waste.

 Whereas. Mir. F. A.

Mir. F. A. Jones. During his terms as executive com mitteeman in 1904, and his admins tration of office, as president during 1905, he has displayed rare qualities as a leader. and together with his. high grade of training in business life. par ticularly fitted him to guide and advise on the important matters of industrial development and public enterprises that constantly present themselves. He has proven "man for the work,' and with his departure from Fresno he carries our sincere regrets in los ing him from our deliberations, and We wish for him the most pleasant connections in his new home and state. commenting him to all as a gentleman of high executive ability, earnest in all he undertakes, and successful in demonstrating results on great public enterprises.
 We shall miss him, and regret to have him go-yet happy in the thought that his work is appreciated by his chiefs, promotion being the aim of every good citizen in the eyes and hearts of his fellowmen.

I. C. Norris Tells Of The Interest In
 Arizona
Instances Related Of The Revival Of
 Industry
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Attorney T. G. Norris has returned
 from his Eastern trip, and he bring,
 back the gratifying news that tho
 interest now manifested in Arizona by
 large financial interests of the Eastern
 cities which he visited is more active
 than at any time within his expert. enee.
 Mir. Norris visited Chicago, Phila- delphia, Baltimore and New York, and in each city he was surprised and pleased to learn through his contact with capitalists of the serious atten- tion that is being now given there to the mining industry as a form of in veStment
 "The reports from Tonopah and from such great wealth-producing mines as the United Verde have serv. ed to revive an interest in mining.'' he said, "such as has not been known for many years. In fact, the Val Verde has been the best advertisement that the territory ever had"
 Everywhere I went" continued NIT. Norris, ''I could -.ot help but feel impressed with the favorable feeling that exists towards Arizona. It was in the very atmosphere, ard I return home with the conviction that we are entering upon the greatest era of min ing activity in the history of Yavapai county"
 While in Philadelphia MT. Norris gleaned some interesting news from the officials of the Rineon Mining Company concerning it's plans. The Rincon mines are east of Congress. near Stanton, and are owned by Phila- delphian capitalists. Contracts have been made for additional hoist, mill and compressor, and an entire plant, and the shipment of this machinery is ready to be made. DistiIlate tanks are now being constructed at Con SitSS JuHtlloAs anu arrangements nave already been made for the oil supply Mir. Norris remarked that these pre- parations at the Rincon were greatly encouraging, and added that it was only one case of several of which he had personal knowledge. He instanc- ed the Mudhole mine, in the Walker district, which is to be unwatered, and started up as quickly as praetie- able. In New York he met Mir. Gun riff, editor of World s Work, who stat ed that the attention being now given to Arizona $ mines was of such a de- gree that it demands that man per sonally visit the field and give the in- dustry the publicity in his journal in such comprehensive and thorough form as seems to be demanded by its readers. Mir. Cunniff. who has a brother living in Prescott. expects himself to make the visit and write up the resources of the territory.

To Prevent Fraud in Mining Shares.
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
 The full text of the California law which has just been passed and signed by the governor, with a view to pre- venting fraudulent transactions in mining shares, is of interest, as it is likely to be the model Tor other legis- latiOn in other states along this line.
 The law, as enacted. is as follows:
 "Section l. Any superintendent, di- rector, secretary, manager, agent or other officer, of any corporation form ed or existing under the laws of this state, or transacting business in the same, and any person pretending or holding himself out as such superin- tendent, director, secretary, manager, agent or other officer. who shall will fully subscribe, sign, indorse, certify, or otherwise assent to the publication either generally or privately, to the stockholders or other persons dealing with such corporation. or its stock. any untrue or willfully and fraudulently exaggerated report, prospectus, ac- count, statement of operations, values, business, profits, expenditures, or pro spectus, or other paper or document in tended to produce or give. or having a to produce or give, to the shares of stock in such corporation greater value or less apparent or mar ket value than they really possess, or with the intention of defrauding any particular person or persons, or the public, or persons generally, shall be deemed guilty of q felony and on con viction thereof shall be punished by in state prison or a county jail not exceeding two years, or by fine not exceeding 5000, or by both.
 The working of this law will be with much interest. and now. when the mining industry is entering upon a period of great activity and ex- pansion, it is very good time to observe its effect in California.

 It is position of responsibility re- quiring a knowledge of detail and ex- ecutive ability, which qualities Mir. Emmert enjoys to large degree. The estate consists of vast tracks of i'm proved and unimproved real estate, stocks, bonds and other valuable as- sets.
 Simon J. Murphy, the creator of this estate, was one of the builders of the Santa Fe, Prescott, and Phoenix rail road, also furnished capital and other wise heavily interested himself in Arizona property. The wealth of the estate is constantly increasing, and the selection of Emmert for this position is indicative of the high regard and esteem in which he is held by those with whom he has come in contact Emmert's present position will not be filled on his departure.

Kern county oil fields was equivalent to $l.30 barrel. Under the new rate. the cost will be approximately $l barrel.
 For long time the mining com panies in this district have been un- decided whether it was to their ad- vantage to use oil or coal, as the cost of producing power from either was about the same. It was with the ob- jeet of developing the mining indus try and local industries that MT. Mur- phy lent his assistance to the plan of supplying these enterprises with cheaper fuel through the medium of a reduced rate on oil. It will un- doubtedly have the desired effect, and will aid in placing the mining indus try on a prosperous basis. One result of it, as applied locally, is the fact that Prescott Electric Company will save 5000 year through decreased freight rates. The ice company, which uses large quantities of oil, will also be a beneficiary, and there are other concerns that will also profit by the new ruling.
 With oil now being available as a cheap fuel, there will doubtless be greater consumption in which ease the railroad will be partially eompensat ed by the increased traffic.

The matter of securing a lower rate on crude oil was taken up during the administration of Mir. Anewalt. He was very enthusiastic over the propo- sition, and devoted a considerable time and energy to the proposition. The idea was one that did not appeal for cibly to the Santa Fe people, with whom such an arrangement must be made, and the matter dragged, espe- eially as it had to be referred to the high officials of that road.
 The president, Frank M. Murphy, was heartily in favor of the proposi- tion, and immediately after MT. Jones assumed the duties of hls new posi- tiOn here, he discussed the matter with him, and dwelt upon the importance of giving it his attention. MT. Jones did so, and through his close personal acquaintance with the Santa Fe of feials, he impressed them with his arguments to such an extent that they consented to give the matter early con sideration. His good work has brought forth the desired result even sooner than he anticipated, and yesterday he received the gratifying news over the wire that the company had agreed to join in making the reduced rate.
