YAQUI CRUELTY
 IN BAKER KILLING
Mrs, Baker Arrives at Fl Paso and Tells of Death of
 Her Husband,
CEzerZJG GC1zzhSzR

FL PASO, Texas, April 9.-Mrs. w. R. Baker, whose husband was killed a short time ago in the southern part of Sonora, arrived here accompanied by her family of eight children, one of whom is ten-months' old baby.
 In speaking of the killing Mrs. Bak- CT is reported to have said that mur- derers of her husband were not Va quis, as was at first reported, but Mexicans. About 8 o'clock in the morning of the fatal fight, two Mexi- cans came to her house and asked for something to eat. Later in the morning MT. Baker set out for a neighboring mine and the boys went down to the river some distance away, leaving her alone with her young baby.
 Single-Handed Battle.
 About o'clock in the afternoon a band of about thirty Mexicans rode up and commenced firing at the house. Mrs. Baker made the doors and windows secure and with Win chester rife that was in the house returned the fire, wounding two of the attacking band. Soon after MT. Baker riding near was instantly rid dled with bullets, having only time to fire one ineffective shot, from where he lay on the ground, before he ex- pired.
 The boys down at the river, hear ing the firing, hurried to see what the trouble was but were driven off by shots.
 While continuing the unequal fight Mrs. Baker was wounded in the right hand so that she could not long CT use the rife. She took her little baby in her arms and escaped out the back of the house.
 Wounded Three Times.
 While Mrs. Baker was making her once in nearly the same place in the hand and once in the left arm. She started for a neighboring ranch house, some eighteen miles away, but after going a part of the way was compelled to seek shelter in the brush, weak from the wounds and from exhaustion. She was later found by her sons, who set out in search of their mother after the Mexicans had left. The party passed the night in the open and the next day arrived at the ranch house from where she had to travel nearly 100 miles before she could get any medical attention.
 On arriving here Mrs. Baker was taken to the home of her son-in-Iaw, Jesse Hammer, at 320 Tays street, where Dr. Bush was called to see to her injuries.

FINAL PAYMENT
 FOR RIVERSIDE
Price Was S95,000 and Last Payment Was Anticipated
 a Few Days,
G%zR. hsNSzS

PHOENIX, April S.-John B. Nee cham of Chicago, president Of the Sultana Arizona Copper company, who has been here for two or three days, Thursday. April 2d, made the final payment for the Riverside group Of mines across the river from Kelvin, completing the purchase price of s95 GOO The final date was somewhat anticipated as the terms of the con tract called for the payment on or be- fore the 4th of April.
 This property was bought by MT. Meeeham for the company August ,, 1906, and a partial payment was made at the time. In March. 1907, the Baldwin Syndicate of Chicago was made the fiscal agent of the company for the sale of stock. With the pri- vate capital of the management of the company and the proceeds of the sales of stock by the Baldwin syndicate the property has been fully paid for. Flu ture sales of stock will be devoted to the purchase of additional machinery
 
 syndicate will continue the stock sales for the present with this object in view. The development of a large copper property takes both time and money and the more liberaIly the latter is supplied the less time is required to arrive at dividend paying basis. The property is within sight of the town of Kelvin. In fact, some of its ground lies on either side of the river, the town being on the overlooking bluff. The machinery first required will be a power plant, a conce1trator and a tramway across the river.
 J. T. Harrington, practical mining man of large experience, and also q member of the Baldwin syndicate. was put in charge of the property several months ago and under bis supervision the mine has reached an advanced stage of development. Between 5000 and 1000 feet of development work underground has been done, consisting of shafts, tunnels. crosscutting, open cuts and other work incident to a good mining operation Most of the work is in one or another of the many good ore bodies explored and all the shafts but one have been sunk in ricn sulphide copper ore, pronounced by one of the Arizona smelters as the pest smelting ore ever brought to, the plant.
