YAvAPAI COUNTY IN INFANCY
 STAGE.
,(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 "From what l have seen of this country. and I have visited number of districts in it during the past two months. | believe that it is certainly section of great mineral resources v said.J. W. Greene, general manager of the Esmcralda mine. yesterday in conversation with n Journal Miner man.
 "Yavapai county.' hc said. Zap. pears to me to he in about the same stage of development that Colorado was almost thirty years ago, when first went there to engage in the min. ing business.
 ''I am pleased to note that the large mining concerns have commenced deep mining here, and that wherever any considerable depth is gained that the values in the ores invariably show m increase as well as the size and extent of the ore bodies. There are number of mines nere now on n good paying basis, and there will he n number of others as soon as the veins are open ed to greater depth.
 "Thc building of the Humboldt smeltor is also great help to the in dustry by afrordmg home market for the products of the mines. IL will certainly be the means of increasing the production far beyond what it is at present, being the source of adding much to the money circulation of the territory"
 \ pioneer of the great state of Colo. rado. Mir. Greene has many interest ing experiences io relate, and, although he has amassed comfortable fortune and is still the owner of valuable in terests there, he has at times allowed other fortunes to slip, as it were through his fingers.
 After Stratton located the Indc pcndencc, Washington. National Belle and White House claims, which after wards were developed into the great est producers in the Cripple Creek re gion, he offered Mir. Greene, who wal a former employer of his, and who, a the time, was living in n tent locate on one of these claims, an undividc, one-half interest in the group if MT Greene would do the assessment oI the four claims. None of the grca ore deposits were found in the distric and the Stratton offer was refused b Mir. Greene, who then believed th property absolutely valueless and with out future possibilities. He was after wards surprised when the great rich ? ness of the golden treasures of th veins startled the world.

(from Tuesday Dally.)
 Yesterday at 10 q. m. disastrous fire occurred at Humboldt, as n result of which Mrs. James \. oldham and her two.ycar old baby now lie dead, while the death of an eight year old Mexican boy named Emanuel Estucla, who was fatally shot by the explosion of rifle in the burning building, IS Uomcntarily expected.
 It appears that about the hour named Mrs. Oldham left the tent which she and her husband and little child oc. cupicd as n temporary home, for the purpose of calling upon a ncighbor. leaving the child asleep in the place. After proceeding some distance she looked back and was surprised ,o see the building cnvcloped in flames. The terrified mother rushed back and cn- tered tho burning tent to rescue her baby, becoming envelopcd in the flames while emerging with the child in her arms. from the effects of which she expired two hours later.
 Becoming aware that her injuries would result fatally. the injured lady asked for n Catholic priest to admin ister the last sacrament of the church 10 her baby. and no Catholic clergy man being within reach telephone message was sent for one to this city. Hearing of the pathetic ease, Rev. F. F. Casey chaplain of the United States army stationed nt Fort Whpplc. vol unteerel his services. and, securing the aeetcst horse at the post. he proceeded at top speed to the bedside of the dy' ing woman when he administered to her the last sacrament of the church after which she expired in few mo mcnts. the baby dying short time afterwards.
 The remains of the mother and child were later taken in charge by the un dertaking parlors of George C. Ruffnci of this city. and will be brought here today for intermcnt
 James \. Oldham. the husband oi the deceased lady. was formerly cn gagged in business in this city. wher the fire started be was experimenting the construction of a business build ing in the town, where he had . force of carpenters employed. He is pros trated at the loss of his wife and baby

He was at one removed to the hospital. where ,h wound was probcd and the bullet eS tracted by the resident physicians, bu at n late hour last night no hopes wcr entertained for his recovery, and hi death is considered to hc only n matte of very short time
 The sad affair has east gloom ove the new Shelter City, the sympathy Q the entire community as well as larg number of friends in this city bcin extended to Mr. oldham in the irr, parable loss of his wife and child. an the parents of the Mexican boy who r, ceived his death wound while inn' gently watching in his childish way th havoc being done by the flames.

"l think l am safe in saying that the only county in Arizona which win east majority for joint statehood Will be Apache county, in which I live. There is joint statehood sentiment in other counties, notably in southern Ari. zona, but it is not strong enouoh to prevail. There are leaders in Ari. zona who are for joint statehood. Some of them arc for jointure because they believe in it. Others are inspired by more selfish reasons. There srs men who are standing for joint state.

If Kansas people-some of them
were not so much inclined to move on
to other localities the population of the
state would grow with great speed. It
is not because people dc not come here
from the east that Kansas does not ull
up faster. but because too many Kan
sans get the fever to go elsewhere
when they are offered a good price for
their Kansas farms.
A real estate firm IN central Kan
sas ington-recently pub
lished a list OF forty farms that it had
sold in the past six months Most Of
the buyers came from Illinois, al
though there were some from Mis-
souri, Iowa and eastern Kansas. The
purchases totaled more than 1000
acres and the price paid aggregated
nearly S28O,0OO. More than half paid
cash, and most Of the newcomers
brought bank deposits with them.
They had sold land in their old homes
at from SIS to 500 an acre and then
invested In central Kansas land Just
as good as they sold-at $50 an acre.
But what became Of those who sold
out? Some of them moved to town to
enjoy IN their declining years the
wealth they had made on the farm.
Some moved on to western Kansas To
/ improve new homes. and others left
I the state for Oklahoma, the southwest
or some other part Of tho country
Possibly a few went to some city fur
Their east.
OF course the net gain to the state as
q whole is considerable. but it iS not as
81 cat as it would be If the pioneer
81 irit in some Kansas people did not
/ lead them to try new locality. But
other states suffer from this nomadic
habit far more than Kansas. Were 1t
not so. Kansas would be the loser for
we now get many people who are at
tracted to Kansas from other COM
