 oT' it, the ore taken out by original owners is still on the dump and car. ries copper, silver and some gold. The present owners bought it of Lucas Picos, or Arizzpe, who owned the mine for the last ten years; but did nothing with 1t. Two years ago the mine was bonded to an American who paid S1,000 down and paid the taxes for two years in advance. The Amer 1can left the country to go back east and has never been heard from since It is thought that this man was Wm. Price, who was operating in that country and who two years ago went back to Chicago to buy an automobile and was never heard from again, al though he had many interests in So- nora and Arizona. The present own CTS of the mine will start shipping by pack train as soon as they get on the ground.

GREATER NUMBER WILL ARRIVE TODAY
 HOUSE AND SENATE RUSHING TO FINISH RATE INVESTIGATION COMMISSION THOUGHT KILLED

Washington, March 2.-Thirty-six hours before the time set for the in- auguration ceremonies to begin finds thousands of visitors in Washington, ready to do honor to President Roose- welt and Vice-President-elect Fair banks. The great majority, however, both of individuals and organizations, will reach the city tomorrow.

Present expectations num- Der the crowd for this year at from 100000 to 225,000. Every available foot along Pennsylvania avenue, from the White House to the Capitol, is now taken up with tem oo-ary stands, seats on which enterprising individuals are selling at a round sum.
 Those residents who have windows facing on the avenue can rent them at their own figures. Few presidents have entered upon term in a relation so close to the people as Roosevelt, and it is certain that even from the far states hundreds and thousands will come to view his inception to of flee. The famous thoroughfare to the capitol is sure to be banked on both sides deep with the populace.

Stan ford took dose of shortly before her death, has aroused the detective force of this city, and every effort is being made to discover who placed the poi son in the harmless medicine.
 The police believe the carbonate of soda and strychnine were purchased here and secretly dropped into the bot tie by a person connected with the Stanford household.

Presbyterian Congregation Extends
 Gall by Unanimous Vote.

At the meeting of the members of the Presbyterian Church last night it was unanimously voted to extend call to the Rev. John Fry to take perma- nent charge of the church in this city.

LABOR SITUATION GOING
 BAD TO WORSE iN RUSSIA

St. Petersburg, March 2.-Black clouds are again lowering over the in- dustrial situation of Russia. The strike at Moscow has been resumed on a large scale; anarchy reigns in the Caucasus, and at St. Petersburg measures which the government ad- vanced to quiet discontent and restore good relations between masters and men appear to have failed, with the probability of causing the storm to break anew.
 Labor delegates representing the whole of the industrial portion Of St. Petersburg, and who were elected to choose fifty members of the Schid- lovski reconciliation commission, met again yesterday and amended the res olution adopted on the previous day. This resolution carried threats in the event it's demands were not granted, not only to refuse to elect labor repre- sentatiyes to the commission, but to order a resumption of the general strike.
 Demands as they now stand are for release of imprisoned workmen, free dom from arrest, unhampered speech, full publicity of the meetings Of the commission and abolition of censor ship. An ultimatum is practically ap-

Advices from Phoenix says, Flor ence is again a very important Ari- zona town having resumed her off cial duties as gateway between the north and the south and this time she will undoubtedly hold her job for a week or two at least. The Florence Navigation Co. is doing a rushing fer ry business. and the Phoenix & East ern railroad has traffic arrangement with it whereby the railroad will car " anybody to Florence who pays his fare and has money enough left to pay the ferryman. Quite a number are crossing the river each way and it is considered now that the river is less of a distress to passengers than the tage ride from Florence to Casa Grande. That however, should not deter real Arizonan for it has only been few years since the stage was all anybody had to ride in here.

TAKES PART
 OF YAQUI INDIANS
FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY CUNNINGHAM SAYS ARE
 WRONGLY BLAMED.

Ex-District Attorney D. L. Cunning
 ham and wife returned yesterday from "a trip to Hermosillo and Guaymas, says the Tombstone Prospector. MT. Cunningham states that while in Her
 mosillo he witnessed the deportation of several hundred Yaquis by the Mex jeans. The Yaquis were rounded up from their ranches in the country and
 brought into the prison at Hermosillo and then deported. The families are separated, the men being sent to one part of Yucatan, while the women and children are sent to another part. Young children in the mothers arms were torn from their mothers breasts and given away to anyone that would take them. The young and old men are separated and sent to two differ ent parts of the country, as are the young and old women.
 While he was in the city seven Yaquis, supposed to have been the murderers of the Chicago party, were taken out and shot. The Mexican au- thorities are shipping all of the Yaq- luis out of the country, as they claim the peaceable ones are furnishing the rebels with money to purchase arms and ammunition.
 MT. Cunningham states the manner of handling the Yaquis was heart rending as the little ones were taken from their parents. Those who wish ed to get one of these children were lined up, and as they came to the door of the prison an officer would reach in and grab a child and shove it out to the next in line. If the person ask ed to have a choice, he was informed to take the one that was pulled out for him or get none.
 MT. Cunningham states that trade is at standstill in that section of the country on account of the outrages that have been committed there. It IS believed by Americans in that sec tion that the Yaquis are not to blame for the alleged murders that are at- tributed to them, but that band of Mexican outlaws are perpetrating the deeds and the Yaquis get the blame.

The punch-out bill of Neville, which, it is charged here by members of the Leg islature who are familiar with condi- tions in the Southwest at which the bill is aimed, is a grossly false reflec- tion upon conditions as they really are, was sent this afternoon to the Council Committee on mining.

CESS POOL OVERFLOW
Has Made Bad Situation Back of
 Main Street.

Recent rains have caused an over flow of the cess pool at the Angius building, with the result that the alley way back of Main street, occupied by the railroad track, is a running stream of sewage of the most dangerous char acter to health.
 Revolting stench is even now given off by the escaped stuff and unless steps are taken to compel general cleaning up and remedying of the trouble results must be exceedingly bad as soon as the weather clears and the sun gets at work. Health Officer Edmondson will probably take steps in the matter today.
