George W. Middleton, who for the
past six years has been prominently
identified with the promotion and de-
velopment of minin1 properties in va
vapai county, arrived home yesterday
from an extended business trip in the
east. When seen at his offices in the
afternoon Mr.. Middleton laughingly
replied to inquiry for a few moments
talk by saying:
"Sure, 1 will make the time. Did
you ever know the time when wasn't
busy3 What can tell yOu' What
do you want to know7" Then when
asked as to the success of his trip
and his future movements in mining in
and about Yavapai county, he replied:
81 found the most prosperous condi-
tions in New York and other money
centers which I visited. AS for my
self, I was entirely successful in all
my undertakings in the east, and am
pleased with the fact that I can now
go ahead with the business matters
have in hand, and such work as have
under way. In my honest opinion the
mining field of Yavapai county, which
consider superior to any other Sec
tion in the territory. never has had as
bright an outlook in the past six or
seven years as it has at this time"
When questioned as to his intentions
for the immediate future concerning
the properties now under his manage
ment, he said:
at will waste no time in pushing the
work at Val Verde, and intend to be-
gin the construction of a $50 ton con-
centrator at Walker, which hope to
complete without a moment Is unneces-
sary delay. This will be to handle
the output of the Mud Hole and the
Crook mine in Crook Canyon. These
two properties I have given over to
the superintendeney of Mr.. c. C. Ber-
ger, who will be in direct charge of

all work. In the future intend to
avoid the detail work in the manage
ment, and remain foot loose to go and
come as may choose. 1 expect to re-
main in Prescott until September, but
of course, will necessarily be away from
town at times.
"There is to be no further stop in
the construction of the railroad 1 lave
started which is to run from the
mouth of the Poland tunnel on the
Walker side to the Crook mine, in the
Crook canyon. We now have perhaps
to exceed one mile of the grade fin
ished, and the ties and rails for this
first end are now en- route. They will
be laid as fast as the grade can be
finished. The line in all will extend
about ten miles, and will be completed
as rapidly as the grading outfit can
prepare the roadway.
''I cannot say Just when this road
will be in operation, but you may be
sure there will be no time spent in
fooling with it. have been in town
but three hours and cannot tell you
anything of the details of such work as
has been done in my absence. What I
am particularly pleased with is the
feeling among eastern investors as to
the value of mines in this portion of the
territory. I want everybody to know
just how the country stands in the es-
timation of the smartest business
men of the world.
"I would like to see everybody jump
out and hustle-get a move on and try
to do something with the many valu-
able properties that I know are here
in this county. And you can say for
me that if they have anything that
looks good lying about loose they can
bring it to me. I'm here in shape to
do business, and in view of the fine
outlook for Yavapai county mining
am sure Of a prosperous future"

Street Railroad Grab.

PHILADELPHIA, June 13-Anit
a cry of "thieves" and Towards"
and under protection of the police, the
Council committee on street railways
today referred to the city solicitor for
his opinion as to their legality, four
bills repeating the ordinances grant
ing street ear companies the right to
use ITO miles of streets and to lay
tracks without requiring any compeR-
sation for the franchises.
The meeting was in all respects as
sensational and stormy as that held
by the committee on finance some
weeks ago, when the gas lease was un-
der consideration.
The action of the committee today
was the first setback the Mayor has
received since the Inauguration of the
reform movement began with the
fight on the gas lease. The fight over
the street railway franchises promises
to be a warm one before finally ended.
1t is a contest between the mayor
and the citizens living the territory
through which the proposed new lines
are to run, on the one hand, and the
Rapid Transit Co., backed by the Re-
publican organization on the other.

DRAGGED TO DEATH.

Word reached Prescott by tele-
phone yesterday from Jerome that
Pearl SHIRLEY, the ive-year-old daught-
er of T. F. SHIRLEY, rancher on
Oak creek, has been dragged to death
by saddle pony. The accident, if
such it was, occurred Monday morning,
when the child with her brother, went
for a ride, each mounting pony. An
hour later the girls pony returned to
the ranch running wildly, and dragging
the dead child by a rope which in
some unaccountable way became fast
about her neck.
So far as could be learned last even
ing, the brother. who was but about
seven years old, is missing. This with
the strange manner in which the dead
child was fastened to her pony with
rope, leads to the suspicion that the
children may have been foully dealt
with. The SHIRLEY place lies about
four miles from Indian Gardens, and
short days. ride from Jerome. The
latest news from Oak creek did not
refer to the boy having returned home,
and was a telephone message from
a nearby station ordering a coffin sent
to the SHIRLEY place for the dead
child. Further information is expect
ed today.

CHICAGO, June 13-The team
sters' strike proper has almost been
lost sight of, the attention of both
sides of the controversy being more
occupied in the charges of bribery in
connection with the labor unions of
Chicago than with the real issue.
Within the next twenty-four hours,
it is said tonight, the history of the
secret transactions of the labor unions
in Chicago for the past four years
will be made public, and that the in
formation will implicate many of the
labor leaders, who it is asserted, have
accepted brides to call off strikes.
The man who is expected to give
this information is John C. Driscoll,
the former secretary of the coal own
ers' union, who has been the interme-
diary between the employers and the
transfers union in this city for the
past four years.
Tomorrow morning Driscoll says
ne will appear before the grand jury

with documentary evidence to show
that several labor leaders have been
receiving large sums of money through
Driscoll, which it is declared by the
latter the employers were forced to
pay to prevent their employees being
called out on strike.
To substantiate this statement,
Driscoll tonight displayed a bank
check book, the stubs on which he said
correspond to the amounts of money
paid to the labor leaders.
The fees, according to Driscoll, paid
to union men ranged from 800 to thou
sands of dollars in the aggregate, it
being estimated by him to be $4,000.

Gherakaris approached and saluted the
premier and opened the door.

NORWAY

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 10
King Oscar, in long and vigorously
worded letter to the President of the
Norwegian Storthing, NJ. Berner, de-
clares that the accession oath of Nor
ways king, makes it the kings duty
not to pass over in silence the prefer
ment of the Norwegian council, and
to state the occasion of his Males
TVS vote upon the consular bills.
The king maintains that he did not
overstep his prerogatives under the
constitution, and says that considera-
tion for the union imposes on the king
the duty of exercising his constitutional
rights.
"The King of Norway" he adds,
Unjust always bear in mind Para
graph 1 of the Norwegian constitution,
which reads: 'The kingdom of Norway
is free, autonomous, Independent, and
indivisible.
The letter closes as follows: "It re-
mains for Sweden and for me as King
of the union, to decide whether the at
tack by Norway on the existing union
shall lead to legal dissolution of
that union. Let the present genera
ton and posterity judge between me
and the Norwegian people,"
