BUYS MACHINERY. FOR MODERN
 PLANT Will Erect It On A Double Compart-
 ment Shaft Company Makes Plans For Development
 Work
(rrom Tuesdays Daily.)

Yesterday, J. II. Farrell, general man. agcr of the New England. rizona Gold and Copper company, purchased com plcte hoisting plant from the Arizona Mines Supply company of this city, which will be shipped at once to his camp and installed. The machinery purchased includes n 70.horse power boiler and 90 horse power hoisting on. zine, cable, skip and other equipment calculated to make the plant modern and perfect in every detail.
 Tho plant will bc erected at n double compartment shaft which has been sunk on the vein to a depth of l75 fcct, and which is considered by mining men to be among the best timbered shafts in the entire district. IL is tho intention of the company to continue the shaft along the vein to depth of at least 300 feet, when the ledge will be | opened by n series of drifts and cross cuts. A four foot vein of ore in the shaft carries good values in copper, gold and silver, and from the surface showings it is expected that other ore bodies will be tapped in the cross cuts when tho 30O-foot level is reached. The six locations composing the groups cover two parallel lodges about 900 feet apart, for the entire length of three claims, tho lodges showing wcll the entire distance good sized pay. streaks of 10 per cont copper orc be. ing uncovered in a number of shallow shafts and open cuts. The working shaft is sunk at point where ono of these veins comes in contact with DOT. phyry dyke, which is found to be i'm. pregnatod in various places with small streaks of high grade copper orc. Where opened on the surface tho vein shows width of over 70 feet, the cn. tire porphyry filling being highly min. cralizcd in copper.
 Boarding and lodging houses and other buildings have recently been erected at the camp, which will he among the best appointed in the coun. ty as soon as the new hoisting machin. cry is installed and in running order. Work was commenced on the prop. critics less than six months ago, and before the shaft had reached n depth of 100 feet the entire unappropriatcd part of the country for three miles around was located by prospectors and miners, when it was learned that there was such n good showing in the shaft. No better proof of the merit of the property can be submitted than this conduct on the part of the miners of that section.
 l Tho properties are located about thrcc and one'half miles north of the Nc. Cabe-Gladstone mines and about one and onc.balf miles from the Humboldt smelter, a good wagon road, with an easy down grade leading to the latter. The Little Jessie, Lclan and Dividend mines, all proven properties of merit, arc but three miles distant to the south west, and the camp has an ideal loca ton for tho conduct of mining opera. tions at all seasons of the year, with n good supply of pure water on the ground, making it unnecessary to use the water from the vein, which is highly impregnated with copper.

Earl, in thc month, County Recorder Mosh,r started ont with his campaign by making vague excuses to the voters concerning A ccrtain check which hc had turned in,n the treasury in pre- tended settlement of his May account
 Neither the Republican press nor Inc Republican speakers on the strui had made my accusations against ..f Moshcr. Therefore. it was dccidcd'.' supcrfnous for him to offer denials O. something of which hc had not boon accused. It was plain that MT. Moshcr had a troubled conscience.
 MT. Moshcr's explanations were dc- cidedly mysterious and unintclligiblc. People began to wonder what they mcant-wbat was really back of them They asked whnt occasion there should he for shortage, if he conducted his office according to law
 Under these circumstances tho Jour nal Miner asked the County Recorder tc bc moru explicit with the public. and after repeated proddings hc finally ha. published a statement which the Jour nal-Miner reprints in full, in or.ler that his explanations may secure the fullest publicity.
 Moshcr's Explanation.
 desire Co say to the voters of Yava pai county, and tc the public generally that since assuming the duties of Re cordcr of this county 1 have followed the custom set by my predecessors ir office, of accommodating the patrons .i the office, both Democrats and Republic ans, by recording their instrument, without first having received the fee, therefor, when 1t was not convenient fo, them 10 pay the fecs when the record was made. If I had required the pay mcnt of alt Tees in advance, it would have, in many cases, worked a hardship as the exact fees are not knowu to thos, unfamiliar with the schedule of fee, re quired by law, and to hold the iustsn ments untit"the parties can be ad> isct of the fees snd have time to seni ir the amount necoesary to pay for th, recording thereof, would, in many cases cause d6iNy which would invalidat' the instrI@gbts; hence the custom.
 The fcDS Enlarged by tho Recorder, d' not, as sHppSsed by some, go to the R' corder, but are payable into the count, treasury kgAthly not quarterly, ns in timated bf thc Journal. Miner and : failure ot thc part of the Recorder |, collect tIe fgs in time to he turned il requires hin Co make good to the count, ont of his personal funds all and ever, item then 8utstanding.
 The chcdk referred to in the articl by the Journal Miner was in settlerncn of tho account for the month of Mn, of this yekr, and when issued was [ slight ovsrdrhft of my account, and tn bank, for rpssons best known to itself failed to honor the check. As soon a tt was made known to me that the banl had failed to honor the check, l immedi ately procured the necessary balanc, and deposited the same with the bank and the chock in question was paid t' the County Treasurer, as evidenced b. the check nov In my possession.
 There 10 no shortage to the count. on nrrouut of this check: neither i

 IT there Is any shortage existing at this time it IS n personal matter be. tween the parties whom [ have accom- moda,cd and myself. as have assumed and paid to the county the amount of the fees for every item unpaid or out standing during my term of office. and t K for people accommodated, for the ublic generally, nnd for the voters of tris county to say whether or not they approve my action in this matter
 Yours very respectfully,
 ROLAND KOSHER.
 The abov, tatement Is plausible as far as it goes, but it will be observed that Moshcr does not state the amount of the cheek which was dishonorcd by the bank, or tho extent of the dcfc- icncy in his account. However, that will bc referred to later, for Supervisor Barney Smith IS able to throw some light on the subject.
 The law requires that checks shall not bc held by the treasurer for moro than twenty.four hours, and lest some per sons might believe that the Supervisors had possibly been remiss in their duty in checking the funds in the county treasury, Supervisor smith consented, yesterday, to make public the knowl- edge gained by him in his official ca pacity in the matter of the Mosher 1 cheek:

LARGE LAND VALUES
TRANSACTIONS OF INTEREST IN
A BUSINESS LOCALITY.

Interest continues to be shown In
rather substantial fashion in the property
that may be described being in the VI
cinity of 18th street and New York avenue.
Recently several transactions have been
brought to such a point that all that re-
mains is the passing of the papers and the
payment of the money. When this Is done
the title TO several pieces Of property In the
triangular piece OF ground that faces on the
north side of New York avenue, between
18th street and 14th street will be passed.
The limit of private property stops some
distance west of the latter street owing to
the broad plaza at that point caused by
the intersection Of New York avenue and
Fl street
The property Immediately. adjoining the
New York Avenue Church on the west Is
said to have been bought by Mr. Christian
Heurich. 1t is known as 1918 New York

feet on that street and extends back to ii

three feet on that street. The total area Is
2.31T square feet.
The price agreed to be paid is about $40.
600, which is at the rate of about $3.50 per
square. foot.
The adjoining property to the west, No
1915, which has similar front dimensions
but which contains some 1888 square feet

property adjoining the corner property on
14th street. but that it has been refused.

New York Avenue Church, which occupies
the eastern section of the square, an offer
has been made to buy which aggregates

ON THE NAVAL BILL
REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON DE-
NoUNcEs PROPOSED INCREASE.

Before taking up the naval appropriation
bill today the House adopted a number OF
resolutions regulating salaries Of its en-
ployes.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Roberts
CMass.) Lilley Comm and Gregg CTex.)
visitors to Annapolis Naval Academy.
As visitors to West Point the Speaker ap-
pointed Messrs. Holiday Qnd), 8. w. Smith
(Mich) and Wiley (Aia.).
The House then went into committee OF
the whole for further consideration OF tho
naval appropriation bill.
Naval Program Denounced.
General debate on the bill was begun by
w. T. Johnson g. c., who was strong in
his denunciation OF the naval program as
outlined in the bill. How can you expect
peace when you are making preparations
for war;" he asked.
Since the commencement of the building
of our navy in 1888 there has been ex-
pended for ships s252, 2T2. 687. The ships
already authorized. but not completed,
amount to $50. 429, 1893. making grand
total of 1904, 702, 900.
What is the game we are playing?.' MI
Johnson asked impresslvely. THE United
States builds ship with armor that no
gun can pierce. Then we take the tax
money of the people to build q gun that
will demolish this armor.''
And these monsters OF human destruc-
tion.' as he denOminated the fighting ships
of the American navy, ARE built. We are
told, to insure the peoce of the world.
This he denon1inated an 'fridescent dream"
Mr. Bartholdt CMo) gave notice that at
the proper time he would offer an amend
ment to the naval bill providing that the
Secretary of the Navy should defer the
building of the $40, 600. 600 ship provided for
in the bill until after the forthcoming meet
ing of the second international Hague con-
ference. and should the conference adopt a
resolution at that session recommending
the gradual naval disarmament of the ma
lions then the ship is not to be built.
Wants Navy Reduced.
Mr. Bartholdt argued In favor of reduc-
ton of the navy instead of Its increase.
He said the question at issue was not a
military one, but an economic one. 1t
should be settled by statesmen and not by
the military. He said that the peace
policy now uppermost in the world con-
templated two demands. arbitration trea-
ties between all the nations and inter-
national congress to say what Is interna-
ttonal law.
Mr. Bartholdt then passed to a discussion
of the international parliamentary union
of which he is president OF the American
group. He said that the high position taken
for International peace at the meeting at
Christtana, Norway, resulted largely in the
converting OF the first Hague conference.
Mr. Champ Clark asked how 1t could
be assumed that the peace propaganda was
growing when the leading nations of the
world were adding to their forces both on
sea and land
Mr. Bartholdt replied that while 1t was
true that ornaments were being added 1t
also was true that there was a larger ar
bitration sentiment extant than ever be-
fore.
