UNABLE TO SOLVE
 DEAD MAYS IDENTITY.
INITIALS UNDER LINING OF COAT ON BODY FOUND IN GRAND
 CANYON

The inquest held on the remains of the unknown man. found in the can or west of Horn Creek, on April I'd. failed to throw any further light on the cause and manner of his death, or his identity, and a verdict to this eff fect was rendered by the coroner's jUrv.
 All the evidence obtainable at the inquest is contained in the testimony of c. c. Spaulding, one of the two men who found the remains, and is as follows:
 "On April 2, 1906, Howard Mable and myself came across the remains of a man lying on a point of rocks about three or four hundred feet above the Colorado river. We made an in spection of him and found the re- mains to be reduced to a skeleton. He was warmly dressed and in ad- dition to underwear of cotton flannel, had on heavy shirt, full suit of jeans clothing with the initial ''W. l." under the lining of the right inside pocket of the vest. Outside of this suit was a duck coat with corduroy collar and over his pants he wore blue denim overalls. Near him lay a brown colored oyercoat and heavy winter cap with a band to come over the ears. He had a heavy pair of shoes fastened with black buckles. These were rot on, as the feet were gone.
 Upon going through his pockets we found common short, cheap pipe; two bladed pocket knife with buck horn handle: one pair leather nit tens, with woolen wristbands and wool lined; one newspaper, Tasting (Ne- braska) Evening Record dated March 18th, 1900. in which account of death of one Orrie Reed was marked; part of the St. Louis Republic, dated April 18th. 1900; part of Los Angeles Times of May but date and year gone. There was also a paper sack which contained some cracker crumbs and a small round pocket mirror. Further than this we found nothing to identi- fy the deceased.
 There was nothing to indicate how deceased came to his death"

 Early yesterday telegram came to Chairman McNair from Mayor SchmitZ, which was dated San Fran cisco, and read as follows: Please accept our gratitude for your sympa- thy and most generous aid. The money will be received by James D Phelan, chairman of the financial committee, when possible, and grad ually assist in relieving the situation" 7" Bisbee has now forwarded S3,00O for the relief of the San Francisco desti- tute through it's Chamber of Com. l merce. In addition to this amount as much more has gone out through fraternal sources. It is estimated by Mayor Caven that Bisbee's total will be between sl1 1,000 and $12,00O. A. l..

 While reports from all parts of the territory indicate that every city and mining camp is giving it's share, Bis bee has contributed more cash than any other one place. Several of them have sent supplies of clothing in ad. dition to cash.

Health Officer Spaulding Too Busy to Begin Yesterday,
 But Will Today.
INTENDS TO MAKE
 PEOPLE CLEAN UP.
Sanitary Committee Will Visit One Especially Dangerous Place Today, and Determine What Must Be Done.

With Aldermen Devine, Morrs, Al len and Shattuck, all members of the sanitary committee of the City Coun. cil. Health Officer Spaulding will to day inaugurate a campaign TOT d cleaner city.
 Spaulding will act under instruc. tions given him by Mayor Caven at Tuesday evenings meeting of the City Council, which were reiterated yester- day morning by Mayor Caven, when he told the Health Officer to get busy without delay and search out the filthy palces.
 Asked yesterday evening what steps had been taken during the day, Off, Ger Spaulding stated that he had been too busy with other matters to do anything, but that he would today take the sanitary committee in tow.
 Together they will visit the pesti- lential hole which enters the alley in the rear of Main street back of the Fair store. Under a board walk at that point sewerage from several homes is being allowed to gather. It is feared that it will cause sickness if not checked.
 Spaulding states that he will first make an effort to determine who is at fault in the matter. and as soon as he learns, compel them to take care of the waste water and refuse from their houses. If they fail to comply with his orders, arrests and prosecution under the city ordinances will follow.
 Mayor Caven and members of the Council are much in earnest over the sanitary condition of the city, and have decided to keep Officer Spauld- ing continually in sexrch of the germ breeding places in this city.
 Speaking about cleaning the city, Mayor Caven stated yesterday that with all the sewerage of the city run ming into cesspools and none of it al lowed to remain in holes exposed to the air the condition of the city this summer will be better than it ever has been before.
 Spaulding has been given a list of the places that need attention, and will be made to go after them until all have complied with the city ordi- nances or the reason why they will not established in court. Members of the Council state that they are re- ceiving complaints daily from people who are annoyed by their neighbor's refuse.

STATEMENT OF FACT.
Royal Union Mutual Publishes Full
Report of Auditor of state.

Royal Union Mutual Publishes Full
Report of Auditor of state.
The directors of the Royal Union Mutual
Life Insurance company are practically the
same today when the company was
organized twenty years ago. They have
been reelected during all these years, by
the policyholders. When the guaranty
fund Of the company was created in 1897,
it was found to be impossible to secure
subscribers to this fund, in any great
amount, outside of those who were inter-
ested in the company, and consequently
the directors nearly all became holders
of shares in this fund.
The creation of the fund at the time
was felt to be in the interest of the COM
pany and the policyholders. The manager
does not believe that those directors who
for so many years were elected by the
policyholders have any less interest in the
welfare of the company and the policy
holders than in the years of the past be-
cause now they are the possessors of
shares in the guarantee fund.
Regarding the compensation of executive
officers and directors the company has
recently adopted the policy of paying a
small compensation for services as mem
bers of the board of directors, and in i'm
portant committees. with a view of secur-
ing a larger attendance at their meetings
and creating a deeper interest in the work
at hand Corporations frequently resort
to the method of paying so, SIS or 500 to
each member of their board OF directors
for attendance at meetings. The board
of directors of this company did not feel
that 1t was necessary to exclude the sal
aired officers of the company from the
rule of receiving payment for specific
duties which the board of directors and
the important committees demand, follow
ing the same principle which the state
pursues regarding its salaried officers. the
governor. secretary of state and others,
who receive a special compensation Of $500
a year to perform the duties coming be-
fore the executive council. 1t will be
noticed in the full page report OF the audi
tor OF state found in this issue that the
gross salaries paid to officers Is not critl-
cised being too large.
