(From Thursday s Daily)

C. F. Smurtbwait., superintendent of ih. Grand Traverse group of mines in the Cave Creek district. just across the southern Yavapai county boundary line. in Maricopa county, has returned to Phoenix from m extensive business visit in the east, according te the Re publican, during which time he stud. jed the copper situation.

He says there Is lots of capital in England available for good investments bnt tho Englisa are naturally suspicious of the Yan. kee projects and have to bc shown the merit of them before their co-opera- ton is secured. Mir. Smurthwaite says that though there has been no dsvcl- opmcnt of the mines since he closed down n few weeks ago, . force of men has been engaged all the time in road building and in moving machinery.
 Efforts will bc concentrated on th. New Hope shaft for the present, ,ae sinking of which was stopped last spring for the want of machinery th,a is now in place. The vein on the NsS iiopc has been explored to the widih of twenty feet and is still wider, but how much can only he told after nor. work. The new work will eon.is, both of drifting and Fipking to 2 greater depth.

ANOTHER COPPER co. CURrAILs
 OUTPUT. (Fpom Wednesday . Daily.)

According to General Manager Shell of 'hc Arizona Commercial com pnny, this month will witness n big re- duction in that company's output. lt is stated that the output for this month will not be over 2,5O0 tons. whereas. last month. that much was produced by the l1th.
 "Fifteen cent copper in the Bostoa market means l2ia cent copper in Ari- zona," he is quoted as saying, "the other 2ii cents going for freight, re- 6ning and selling charges. Our com. pany receives from the smcltcrs n flat rate of si per unit per ton for its silie- ious ores, with copper at l5 cents; that is, $i per ton for every per cent of copper in the ore."
 Speaking of work at the Arizona Commercial properties, he said
 "The silica surface properties neve, looked better We are also running into new ore shoots on all levels on the Copper Hill, while at the Black Hawk, the 500-foot level of the east drift has been driven 22 feet through ore all the way, in the past month. believe the sixth level of the Black Hawk will open good body of ore east of the shaft under the present stope. I expect to find the ore more solid on that level.
 "The west drift on the 500-foot level mas been largely in fractured Quartzsite, but the No. [ crosscut, south, is in ledge matter carrying con. siderable copper stain. which Is eonsid- cred very encouraging.
 "The new big thrce-compa rune nt shaft Is down over % feet, but work has been temporarily suspended, an.l will probably be resumed under com tract rather than by day work.
 "Yes, you may say that until there is some change for the better ia the copper situation, our output win TO. msis eurtsiled," eonciudsd Mir. Snsll.

s3G ExCuRsIoNIsrs FROM HERE
 TO THE COAST.
(From Tourslay' ', Daiiy)


 During the summer months 336 res. idcnis of the city took advantage of the excursion rates to spend their sum mcr vacations at thc different coast resorts of southern California.
 These were partially replaced by l5O residents of Phoenix who came here on the Saturday excursion rates and presumably remained for periods ranging from two to four months. All of the cxcursionists have already re- turned to their respective homes.
 A peculiarity of last summers ex. eursiOnists from Phoenix was the fact that almost as many spent their vaca- tions in Flagstaff as in this city. This was due to the fact that Flagstaff did considerable advertising in Phoenix last winter and spring, calling atten- ton to the desirability of the skyligh. City as a summer resort. This was the first time Flagstaff did any advcr- Using on this line and the town Is well pleased with the result.
 The back east excursion rates wera also popular. One hundred and twen- ty-onc residents of this city visited eastern points and former homes dur. ing the time the rates were in effect.

FAIR PRosPEcroRs FIND GOLD.
 EN NUGGETS.
(Frsm wednesday's Daily.)

Four fair placer miners of Prescott. yesterday. while inspecting the his- toric Granite Creek placer diggings, about oDc-half mile south of the city limits. in the ncigbborhood of the Brooks ranch, "washed' enough pay dirt to bring home to their husbands and swccthcarts several dollars worth of nuggets. The party was composed of Mcsdamcs Monte ,roadcd and Hopkins and Misses Duke Lewis and Bessie Brown.
 The gold is supposed 10 have been uncovered during the recent heavy rainstorms that flooded Granite Greek. along whose banks, in the days when the rampant Apache roamcd un- 'rammclcd, save by the presence of ad- vcnturous miners. thousands of dol lars worth of placer gold was mined in the early eos. The ground has been worked over from four to SIX times since it's initial discovery, bus each time yields we'll to the miners who scratch the bedrock. and that the soft. white hands of the fair miners can still purloin from its secrcted places the yellow metal is proof suf. fcicnt, that old Granite Creek still contains the stuff that glitters.
 Even yet old timers can he found wintering along the banks of this historic and famous stream, digging for the yellow metal. or, when water is scarce, extracting the little nuggets by the dry washer process.
 About a mile above the Brooks place miners still wash the bedrock dirt whenever water is sufficiently plentiful, and on n side creek. known as English Gulch, the ground Is being worked over, in some instances. for the seventh time, with profit.
 Near the point where the female prospcctors found their nuggets, yes tcrdny, the early pioneers dug ont the yellow metal from the crcvices be. tween the rocks in the bed of the stream. while others of their comrades stood on guard. to sound the first warning of inc approach of the blood thirsty redskins, who were exceedingly hostile to the palcfaces at that time.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RENDERS
 OPINIONS.
(From Thnrsday.s DnilxN

Whether Act No. 52. of the Twenty fourth Legislative Assembly of the Territory, is constitutional. under the Organic act. IS evidently one of the important questions now being consid- cred by the board of supervisors oi Maricopa county. The act authorizes the board of education of the Tempe Normal school to take possession of and control n section of school land heretofore donated and reserved :o the Tempe Normal school as n school farm, aud directs the board of super visors of Maricopa county to assign and surrender any and all unexpir.d leases on said section that it may have in its possession, to the board of cdu- cation of tne Normal school, and any records relative to the same. It also empowers and authorizes the board of education of the Normal school to lease the land or handle and control it for the best interests and benefits of the Normal school. The act also provides that all revenues received shall he placed by the board of elm cation into the Territorial treasury to the credit of the Tempe Normal school fund
 Attorney General Clark holds that the act is valid one.
 "Section 93 of the Orgnnic act pro vidcs,' he says, "that all school and university lands may be leased under such laws as may he made by the Leg islature, and there is no question bui what the Legislature has full control of all school and university lands in | the Territory"
 District Attorney Bullard of Mari copa county was also asked by in, supervisors for an opinion concerning the validity of the law. He agrees with the attorney general, and 1t is believed that at its next session tha board will deliver the entire section into the control of the board of edu. cation of the Tempe Normal school.  Attorney General Clark also re- ceived n communication from the board of control requesting an opinion as to whether Act No. 4s of the last Legislature, put the burden of the care of the inmates of the Industrial school on the Territory. The old law put half of the expenses on the county from where committed and the other half on the Territory. The attorney general gave as his opinion that under the provisions of Act No. is the en- tire burden of tho care of the inmates of the Industrial school is placed on the Territory.
 "Section { of the act,' said Mr Clark, "provides that the cost of transporting the convicted minor to the Industrial school shall be borne by tine county, provided the parent or guardian Is too poor to pay the ex pense. and all expense subsequent thereto shall he borne by the Terri tory

DUKES CLAIM IS AGAIN BEFORE
 SUPERVISORS.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Y,.'crday, the old bugaboo of every hoard of supervisors since 1892, name. N. john Dukes claim for cash paid .sc rounty at tax sale for n her f cattle, was again brought to light. when Mr Duke once more presented b,s claim. which has been the subject .f no' only much discussion by the ,ariou, county boards of supervisors. bu, almost every Legislative assembly since the controversy originated, as well. The clerk of the board was in- sructed 10 ask tine public examinter for an opinion concerning the validity of Nr. Dukes claim, before the next .,ructed to ask the public examiner ,be three members of the board will hc present 'o take definite action and 'lay the ghost" once and for all.
 In March, 1899, Duke purchased the F.. II. Witherell herd of 205 cattle from Yavapai county, at a tax sale. He bid the herd in for $7s5.25, and, it is alleged, the county guaranteed his title to the stock. Later, n man name Morton appeared and claimed tho stock by right of purchase, he alleging that he bought them from withcrell previous to the tax sale. He sued Duke and was awarded the remaining cattle of the herd, together with judgment for $2,s0O damages.
 Then it was that Duke's claim be came a hoodoo for the boards of super. visors. He demanded the return of ,ne tax sale price he had paid for the cattle, and the supervisors as prompt ly refused his demand, although it is said the members of the board admit. ted inc justncss of his claim.
 The claim has been pressed before each succeeding board, but the money has never been refunded him, as yet.
 In 1899, the Legislature was appeal cd to, and a bill was passed instruct. ing the treasurer of Yavapai county to pay Mir. Duke the amount paid for the cattle together with legal intercs. from inc date of tho transaction. but the treasurer and board of supervisors gnored the bill, upon the advice of the district attorney. Duke asserts he is loser to the extent of over s5,OoO on the deal.
 The sheriff's bin for the quarter ending September 70, in the amount of s2,Goi.50. was allowed, as well as a number of lesser claims against the county.
 Clerk Peter was instructed to advcr. iisc for bids for the construction of n county road from Eugcnic siding, on the Poland branch of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, to connect with the county road at Chaparral, and was also ordered to advertise for bids for 'b' building of . fence around the Citizens cemetery.
