Nowadays visitors go out to the
pyramids by tramcar. For some reason
we had the notion, doubtless shared by
many who have not been there, that to
get to the pyramids one simply rldes
thru Cairo and out on the fat, desert.
AS matter of fact, the great pyramid

and the Sphinx are on a rocky plateau

ride out by trolley or carrlge you look
up at the pyramids, and when you are
still three miles away they seem to be
at least a half-mile distant. At the

the hill there is hotel, and from this
point one may climb or else charter a

carriage at 100 piastres to take us
from the city out to the plateau. This
is not as much as it sounds, but it IS
about twice the usual rate. After we
struck the long road leading across the
valley and saw the trolley cars gliding
by and leaving us far behind we de-
cided to send the carriage back to the

APACHE KILLS
 FOUR REDSKINS
Young Indian Educated at Car lisle EmuIates Late Ap-
 ache Kid

Justin Head, an Apache Mohave, killed four other Apaches and squaw near Camp Verde last Tuesday. The first killing, that of young Indian. took place near Cottonwood. This murder was an incident of drunken brawl. After shooting the Indian to death Head fled to another Indian camp near Verde. He was pursued by about 100 Indians into whom he fired, killing three men and a squaw. He then fled toward the Fort Apache reservation followed by about POO Indians. He swore that he would not be taken alive. If he is captured he will not remain alive very long. The Journal Miner thus describes the murderer and tells the story of the killing and pursuit:
 Armed with a repeating Winchester and supplied with over 100 rounds of ammunition, and with the determina- tion not to be taken alive, Justin Head, an Apache-Mohave Indian, who late yesterday afternoon killed another In- dian near Cottonwood, in drunken brawl. and, upon fleeing to another ln- dian camp, near Camp Verde, where he demanded protection from the band of 100 enraged Indians who were pur- suing him, shot and killed three other bucks and one squaw, because the. ln- dians attempted his capture. is now fleeing towards the Fort Apache res ervation, with some 200 Indians hot on his trail, vowing vengeance for the five murders if the murderer is caught.
 ''The Apache, Head, is about 30 years of age, described as being six feet tall, rather thin, and of mean visage. He was educated at Carlisle, and up to the time of killing his first victim, near Cottonwood, was not considered of a desperate nature, although it is now asserted by some of his former com panions that he has always desired to emulate the notorious bandit of former days. the Apache Kid, who, it is said, was distant relative of Head.
 Yesterday Head imbibed freely from large bottle of whiskey he had obtained from some unknown source, and becoming engagedin an altercation with a young Indian on a ranch near Cottonwood, whose name could not be learned, shot him to death witha Win chester.
 He immediately fled, going in the direction of another Indian camp near Camp Verde. Arriving there, he de- manded protection from his pursuers, who numbered over 100. This was re- fused, and an attempt made, on the contrary, to effect his capture.
 Head immediately opened fire with his Winches ter into the crowd of In- dians. and as result of his excellent aim three bucks and squaw fell dead before he ceased firing.
 Head then started on dog -trot to- ward Fort Apache, with some 200 ln- dians pursuing him, but up to late hour last night had not been caught. He is dead shot, and it is known that he will not be taken alive, so that the chances are good for him adding a number of other victims to his list be- fore his career of bloodshed is finally ended by bullet.''

FUTURE OF
 OLD DOMINION
Various Rum0rs as to Passing ot Control From Phelps
 Dodge Company
From Fridays Daily

Telegrams received yesterday from the east indicate that in copper circles Globe is decidedly in evidence at the present time, because of various and sundry TUT iors of varied import regard ing the Old Dominion company. Ru- mors to the effect of probable change in the management of the big copper company were Tn circulation here sev- eral days ago, but as likerumors are from time to time given prominence, no serious attention was paid to them until yesterday, when the action of the market indicated that the rumors were being taken seriously in eastern fnancial circles.
 The first report received here was to the effect that President Charles S. Smith of the Old Dominion Mining & Smelling company and eastern associ- ates were to acquire the control of the company from the Phelps-D Dodge com psny, which meant the withdrawal of that powerful company from the Globe field This report came from the east, but Boston dispatches yesterday indi- eated that no speculative capital was made of this rumor until yesterday. Then came report that the Phelps Dodge interests in Old Dominion were to be acquired by the Cole-Ryan crowd.
 The presence of President Smith in Globe and the fact that recently a thor ough examination of the properties of the company had been made by outside engineers, presumably in the employ of Mir, Smith, lent color to the rumor.
 When seen by representative of the SILVER BELT last evening, Mir. Smith stated that there was absolutely no truth in the rumors. "The very idea of the Phelps-Dodge company selling out their heavy interest in the Old Dominion said Mir. Smith, lis riuicuious. after the way in which the property has been brought to the front. l wish to deny positively that l am purchasing the Phelps-Dodge interests; l have reason enough to believe that they would not part with their holdings. and so far as l am concerned I have no desire to lose their partnership. The report that the Cole-Ryan crowd is buying into the company is ridiculous, ind it is difficult to tell just how such a rumor could have been put in circula- tion.
 Regarding the property, Mir. Smith stated that conditions at present were h ghly satisfactory and that the man agement had under consideration many plans for further improvement, princip- ally the erection of reverberatory fur mace and the construction of a railroad to outlying properties. The recent strike of sulphide ore on the l4th level he stated, was better than could have been anticipated and that 1t means much for the future of the company. President Smith stated that there was no particular significance to be at- tached to his present visit here, as it has been his custom to make similar visits here and this is one of his Ere guars."
 It is expected that Dr. James Doug las will arrive here the latter part of week. and if there are any new de- V opments in the situation. they will be made public at that time.

Murderer Caught

A late dispatch from Prescott says:
 Justin Head, murderer of eight peo- pie, was arrested last night in Jerome, though this information did not reach here until 8 o'clock this afternoon. Head surrendered himself when he feared that his pursuers were about to close in and shoot him down. His de fense is that he is an educated Indian and married squaw, which turned his race in the Verde valley against him Head claims that they were about to take his life when he shot one of them and was forced to shoot more to pre- vent his being killed. He will be brought here tonight.
