SLUMP IS BRINGING GOLD
 FORWARD
Fitz-Mac Sees Wonderful Future For Northern
 Arizona
tRson Saturdays Daily,

NHs"hs bs'uruHy baHNp
 Fitz.M Mac, the well known geologis, and writer, author of Fitz.Mae's Ari. zona Copper Book and other technical publications, was welcome and enter. taining visitor at the Miner office on Monday last, says the wickenburg Miner of June 20.
 Speaking of the general character and natural resources of the region wis. tied, Ftz.Mac became enthusiastic in his commendation.
 "I am delighted with the country along the A. & c." said he. "It is a district of wonderful mineral wealth, the possibilities of which have no. vet been realized.
 "Arizona is leading the world in copper production now, and with the development of the country around wickenburg and the opening up of the new territory along the 4. sc, it will, believe, soon hold m equally com. manding position as a gold producer The low price of copper will stimulate the search for the yellow metal, and this is the section that will come to be recognized as the gold district of Ari. zona.
 "The San Marcus mine," speaking of the big property of the Pittsburg Harqua Hala company, twill be one of the great gold mines of the country, Already there are 2oo,Ooo tons of ore blocked out that will, at very con. servative estimate, average $i5 per ton. Beyond a reasonable doubt there is now in sight from s3,ooo,ooO to s5,- 100000 worth of ore. Col. l.. E. Carr the general manager, is e1pending $l25,0 on n mill that ne expects to have in operation by the first of Jan. uary next. And this Is only one of many big producing mines that will be heard of in this part of the country within the next few years" From his study of the geological for. nation in the Salome region Fitz.Mac is convinced that the water supply for mining purposes, which has caused much anxious thought and study in the past, will not be difficult of solution He declares that the valley between the Harcuvar mountains on the north and the Harqua Halas on the south is a great synclinal basin formed by the upheaval of these two mountain ranges; and that the drainage of the Grace valley, which is some eighty miles in length, finds its way through this sub terranean basin, thus affording an un failing water supply for mining pur poses that only awaits an artificial out let to the surface.
 Ftz-Mac was pleased with Salome Natural conditions there are all fla vorable for the growth of a city" he said. "The mineral wealth by which it is surrounded and its location near the source of the water supply of tho valley will both contribute to its up huildinu ~

 CUERO, Texas, June 26.-The story of one of the most sensational and das tardly crimes that ever stirred Texas will be borught to close tomorrow. when Monk Gibson mounts the gallows to pay the death penalty for the mur der of the Conditt family in Jackson county nearly three years ago.
 The murder of Mrs. A. J. Condit. and her four children occurred on the Conditt farm near the town of Edna early in October, 1905.

EIGHT FURNACES AT THE COPPER
 QUEEN
Output For June Likely To Show Increase
 Over May

| DOUGLAS, June 2G.--The starting pf an additional furnace at the Con. per Queen Shelter this week was the Feature at Douglas, where the ore of thc Warren district is smelted. This additional furnace gives the Queen sev- Tn furnaces and reverbcratory fur. mace in action at the present time. This plant contains ten 50O-ton furnaces. but more than nine of these were nev. CT in commission at any one time. Judging by the output st the Queen last month with six blast furnaces it may be assumed that the output for June will he considerably increased over the month of May, bringing it ,o probably eight million pounds Of. copper. AS a resuI: of the starting of the additional furnace there has been an increase in the working force both at the shelter and at the lime quarry east of the city. Early in the week s rumor reached Douglas from Fl Paso to tne cffec; that the Copper Queen company had purchased the Shattuck mine, but it may he said on the bes, of authority that the rumor had no foundation further than that in the past there has been some talk of sue a deal. Tna Queen people, no doubt. would like to become the owners Of the Shattuck, which lies between the Queen ground and that of the c. & A., but it is not likely that they would consider its purchase at the price at which it is held and the value which is represented by the present quotation of the stock. There has been nothing definite received during the week con corning the Shattuck smelter. Tho d. rectors left for Duluth two weeks ago with all the plans aad bids and at that time it was believed by the machinery men who had gathered at Douglas 10 submit their bids that the contract would he awarded soon after the arriv. al of the directors at Duluth. An nounccment Is now due of the award. ing of the contract for machinery to be placed in the smelter. As soon as the contract is let the work of boring . well at the shelter site will start and also the work of building spur of the Fl Paso and Southwestern to the site. The Douglas street railway will also build something like half n mile of track to carry ii to the Shat. tuck shelter from the q. and A.
 At the C. and A. smelter the work of construction on the plans of enlarge ment goes steadily on. Tne founda- fions for the eonverters, which are to he moved from their present location, have been completed. The eonvcrtcrs are now being moved and as soon as this work is completed construction will begin on m additional blast fur. mace which will have a capacity of 500 tons or ore daily.

BEDFORD FIGHTS FOR CHILD AND
 FORTUNE
Suit Recalls Tragedy Of Whiskey Row
 In 1907
SEroin Saturdays Daily,

Dispositions in the case of Charles X. Bedford, suing for the custody of his four.yca old daughter, and contesting the will of her wealthy grandmother, who bequeathed only $5 of her fortune to the child, were taken here yesterday and forwarded to Los Angeles. Toe case, which promises to be bitterly contested, is attracting attention here as we'll as in California, ss the Bed. fords were at one time residents of this city, Prescott being the little one's birthplace. The Bedford child is now in custody of her aunt, Mrs. Fred Lambourn, in Los Angeles. Mrs. Lambourn is deeply attached to her ward and strongly opposes returning the child to the custody of her father. One of her contentious, it is alleged, is that the father is not a competen, person to have charge of her. Bed. ford, in his suit, not only asks for the custody of his child, but also asks the court 10 set aside the will made by the grandmother, Mrs. Glasswell Mitchell, in which the Bedford child is left the paltry amount of $5. Eminent counsel is retained on both sides.
 Bedford was for many years proprie. tor of tae Anhcaser saloon in this city. He was married to Miss Elaine Mitchell, daughter of Mrs. Glasswell Mitchell, the child being born of the union. The separation of Bedford from his wife, Mrs. Elaine Mitchell Bedford, and her subsequent suicide, is still fresh in the memories of the people of this city. Her tragic end came in Q room over the Wellington saloon early one morning in April, 1907, when she ended nights carous. al and OCT bfe with a six.shootef. Re. fore she committed the act, she placed her child in the custody of her mother in Los Angeles, the father agreeing, it is alleged, to allow the grandmother to adopt the little one.
 After the suicide of the mother, Bed. ford refused his consent to the adop- tion of tee daughter by Mrs. Mitchell. Soon after Mrs. Mitchell died and left her grandchild in the care of Mrs. Fred Lambourn, her daughter, with the understanding that she should care for her, and adopt her, if possible. Believ. ing that Bedford would try to get pos session of As daughter and part of the estate, Mrs. Mitchell willed aer prop. erty to Mrs. Lambourn, leaving the child only $5, The child is now with Mrs. Lambourn, who cares for her as her own. As a consideration for being awarded the guardianship of the Bed. ford child by the court, or by stipula. tion with Bedford, Mrs. Lambourn agrees to dover the child with &l0,0OO, by placing that amount on deposit at interest with any responsible trust company, the child to receive the amount when she reaches her majority.
 Bedford refuses to accept this as n settlement, contending that the child is legal heir to an equal portion to the estate of her grandmother, Mrs. Mitch. ell, with Mrs. Lambourn, by reason of being the child of Mrs. Mitchell's daughter.
 Bedford, who has been living in San Francisco the greater part of the time since leaving here, is now in Los An. geles awaiting the hearing of the ease, the date of which will be set soon.
