Bert Adams Writes

Chas H. Adams this week re- ceived a letter from his brother, Bert, who, with the Mayor Nellis party, is searching for the lost Peg leg mine. They are now camped at Brawley, Cal, which place, he says, is 119 feet below sea level, but that the water freezes in the wash basin every night. The following interesting excerpts are taken from the letter:
 We got into this place last night after having to ford New river with the outfit and putting the load across with the cable, and as Ferd. went to Imperial this morning we are all writing letters and washing up. We came across country with out any roads at all, and lots of times the water was so salt that we could not drink 1t. There are thou sands of wild palms on the desert, which if they were in some places would be worth good money.
 "John and I went fifteen miles the other day to dig a bee hive out of the rocks, but had no powder, So could not do much; got about thirty pounds, but it was fine.
 "A few nights ago we camped at the edge of the Salton sea and got lots of quail and duck. Tell Dr Melick there are millions of duck and geese on the edge of the sea When they rise it is like a cloud over the sun, and no end of them 1t seems.
 "We have had good time so far and I hope it will continue; but we have had some hard country to cross. That sea is about 100 miles long now and about thirty miles wide and still rising; yet the farm CTS right down to the edge don't seem to be much concerned about it"

NOTES FROM CAMP THREE

January 23, 1906.
 MT. Norton left for Flagstaff last Tuesday.
 Too much snow drove Bert Jolly down the trail last week.
 MT. Norton has been doing the scaling in this camp while Ranger Benedict is taking a few days off in Flagstaff.
 Andrew Smith was here Monday collecting. He informed some of the boys that he intended going into the woods of the American Lum- Der Co.
 Several men from the American company who came here last week said the "old war hoss" was to take charge of a large crew.
 Al. Stricklin accompanied "Dad" Jordan to town last week, who was suffering from a severe attack of lumbago.
 Several of the boys were Camp No. 2 visitors Sunday.
 T. s. Woolsy returned from Flag staff Monday. Mir. Benedict came back with his genial smile. They had not been here two hours when Rangers Rood and Campbell came along. George is anxious to learn who writes him up as Son of Rest.
 Last Thursday we lost one of the Rangers, who will not be back for day or two anyway. MT. Ernest Long took up his little ax and hied himself to the chaparal swamps of the San Gabriel reserve. We know now why those elk will be put on that reserve. They will have a good her,ler. We'll. Ernie, if the Native Sons will not adopt you come back to the tree tops.
 George Mccormick and Ranger Benedict found a new clew to lost Smith, while on their way to Belle mont, not three miles from this camp. They found where he tried to build fire. as several blocks of matches lay on the ground. No doubt he knew he was short way from camp. so wandered on. He must be in one of the old "slash- ings." Under Sheriff Campbell is here to search for him. We wish you success. Billy; but fear your work is futile. There are three feet of snow in the district, and spring will alone reveal his last resting place.

WILLIAMS STEADY GROWTH

IlC uoe1 iui ppi ehilI iho'O III tiH history of Williams is that involv- ing the doubling of the plant of the local lumber company. Now that the mill is we'll on it's way toward completion our people have begun to get over the scare which went hand in hand with the statement that the plant was to be moved elsewhere. Now that Williams will shortly have the finest and best equipped mill in the southwest, and the number of employees will be greatly increased, preparations are accordingly being made by citizens of the town to erect buildings for various and divers purposes. There is no boom at all here, but our peo- pie have renewed confidence and are simply beginning to make addi- tfons, construct new buildings, etc., that heretofore they did not feel warranted in doing.
 Among those, as we have all ready stated, who will soon build are the following:
 A. H. Harrell will erect a large family flat or rooming house at the corner of Third street and Grant avenue.
 Councilman Mathews will erect an addition to his store building, thus more than doubling the capac- ity of same.
 Dr. A. G. Rounseville will build a hospital and residence combined on his lot north of the Cottage House, formerly the Andrew Drake property.
 Joseph Johnston is getting prices on the cost of a building next door east of his present business block, facing south on Williams avenue.
 Grove & Mccoy are arranging for the construction of second story on their present business block.
 The NEWS recently purchased the corner lot of the Dodson property OH Third street and Williams ave nue, opposite the bank, and will build if we can raise enough money or stand some one off.
 August Lindstrom is now having a 5000 residence built on the site of that recently destroyed by fire; SO the coming summer is likely to be lively in the building line.
 The Grand Canyon Electric Light and Power Co. are enlarging and reftting their plant and will ex- pend some $5OOO in SO doing, so that Williams will soon have an electric plant sufficient for its needs for some time to come.
 As stated above, there is no boom on, but the preparations now being made are simply the result of ne cessity, owing to the steady and prosperous growth of the town and its business.

Fleming died at her home, 4OO4 University boulevard, at 5:3O o'clock this morn- ing. after lingering illness. She leaves two children, boy and girl, and a niece, who was with her at the time of her death. Mrs. Elem ing was a native of Kansas, having come here about four years ago. The date of the funeral is not set, awaiting word from relatives. Mrs Fleming was formerly resident of Williams, but for a few years past has been living in San Diego, where her death occurred. Her husband is engaged in the ercantile busi- ness at Rhyolite, Nevada.

OF the trial, was then called to the
stand. Mrs. Butts said she was the
stepdaughter Of the late George M.
Rice, an independent oil refiner OF
Marietta, 0. She had also acted as
Mr.. Rices private secretary and was
the executrix Of his estate She pro.
duced, at the request of Attorney
phelps, the certificates of original
trust stock owned by Mr.. Rice. the
certificates of legal title" into which
these were later transferred and scrip
showing title to fractional shares of
stock in all Of the 20 subsidiary COM
panles of the original trust. The text
OF these certificates was read into the
record and Mrs. Butts excused, the de-
tense not caring to cross-examine her.
The objection of the defense to the
character of evidence brought forward
was mainly on the ground that the
prosecution was going entirely outside
or the case as set forth in the informa-
ton filed by County Prosecutor David.
Besides this. the authenticity of the
evidence in all cases was questioned.
The general answer to these objec.
tons was made by Attorney General
Ellis, who made his first appearance as
an active participant in the prosecu-
ton, and by Attorney Phelps The de-
Tense was taken care of by Attorneys
Elliott. Kline, Troup and Tolles, Mr..
Kline and Mr.. Troup doing the great
er part of the talking.
Valentine Law Is Broad.
Answering the objection Of Mr..
Kline that the prosecution was going
outside the pleadings on the case, Mr..
Phelps said the Valentine law, under
which the suit was brought, was as
broad as the world and as strong as
Samson; that under it there was no
necessity of proving any trust agree
ments or naming the parties in any
trade conspiracy. 1t was enough to
show the result Of that conspiracy.
However, it was the intention OF tho
prosecution to show that the nine men
who formed originally the Standard
Oil trust Of 1882 have ever since-at
least all Of them who are living-con.
tinued to dominate the oil industry of
the state; that they abandoned the
trust agreement when compelled to
do SO by the state only to enter an.
other form in New Jersey, which now
continues.

Findlay, O.--The suit of the state

A jury, composed mostly of farmers,

Attorney G. H. Phelps, of the prosecu,

continue the reading during the great

In brief, Mr.. David stated to the
jury that the Standard Oil company
became trust in 1882, and although
it had several times since changed the
form Of it's organization, had not
ceased to commit the offenses of a

Rockefeler's Evidence Admitted.
Findlay, o. Every point in an
endless series of clashes between
Standard Oils attorney and the
prosecution during the trial Wednes-
day was won by the Ohio lawyers.
The session WAS one long struggle be-
tween the defense and the county at
torney, aided occasionally by Attor-
ney General Wade Ellis, over the adj
instability of evidence. But in every
tilt the shining legal lights of the cor
poration went down in defeat before
the arguments of Prosecutor David.

The result was that the testimony Of
John D. Rockefeller given in 1898 in
