 10 PROFESSOR BlOUNT
He and His Family Entertained By Presbyterian Church Organizations.

On the eve of their departure for their future home in California, the various organizations of the First Presbyterian church held an informal reception for Prof. George Blount and family. A large number of friends gathered to express their appreciation of what this family has meant to the community during the fourteen years of it's connection with Phoenix life. J. w. Creighton voiced the sentiments of the gathered people, expressing the regrets of the community, and also the respect and good wishes that go with them as they leave for their new home
 Mir. Blount replied in a way that made all his hearers regret even more that the city is losing these friends There was a short, informal program after which refreshments were served by the committee. MT and Mrs. BlOunt accompanied by Miss Bertha. leave over the Santa Fe this morning for the Grand Canyon. The two boys Herbert and Winfield. leave today for a trip to Roosevelt After making this tiip 'iteA too VIII NlSlt tIlc GTdhu cdn- yon, Joining their parents and sister later in California.

tremendous popular welcome here to- night The greeting accorded them was all the more remarkable because it was entirely spontaneous. the mere Announcement of their arrival bring ing many thousands of persons to the station to meet them. The streets along the route to their hotel were completely blocked and the enthusi- asm displayed recalled the triumphant entries into the city of Parnell, when he was at the height of his pop ularity.
 On arriving at tlieir hotel the ath- letes were greeted by Joseph Dew lin, member of parliament, who in a speech said that wherever they went in Ireland a similar welcome awaited them.

GOLD BULLION
 Al THE OCTAVE
Better Equipment Planned For This
 Property.


 Several mining men returned yester- day from a trip to the Congress dis trict and also a visit to the octave property which, according to reports is still holding a place among the big gold producers of the territory. A shipment has been made of $5,500 in gold bullion and a car of concentrates has been made in the past few days, the former being sent to the Prescott National bank and the concentrates to the Fl Paso shelter.
 The bullion consisted of one bar valued at S3,500 which was the product of the cyanide plant and a bar worth $2000 which was recovered from the plates in the stamp mill. The ore is now being mined on the 1400 foot lev el. It was here that a new deposit of ore was opened up a few months ago. There appears to be plenty of ore still in sight. In fact the mine has enough to keep a mill double the size of the present one running for the next four years.
 The plant at the Octave has under gone an overhauling and repairing by lpltt OL llittiietIiito anu tlit pistut iS now in first class running order. New labor saving machinery for the hand ling of the ore in the stopes has been installed to do away with as much shovelling as possible. Mining is rather brisk in the district at present, having received a stimulus from the recent strikes on old properties, one in Fools Gulch, and the fall is looked forward to a likely increase in pro duction from that SC lion. The Octave is under going steady improvements and the company has still in view greater equipment and new source of power, though the consummation of the plans has been delayed longer than was anticipated several months ago.

When the convention met this after
noon, C.. J.. Benedict moved that al
delegates present, whether they have
credentials OF not, and all voters present
representing towns that held no caucuscs
be allowed to vote. 1t was carried
after II. l.. Schmitt had declared the
motion premature The latter feared
that there might be trouble about
credentials in the state convention
unless matters proceeded regularly.
On motion of Mr.. Benedict, Mr.
jones was authorized to cast the full
vote that Juds0n was entitled to.
Mr.. Benedict moved that the report
of the credentials committee be dis
pensed with, and all present allowed
to vote.
Calvin Smith thought that there was
something back of this motion that
BODIED no good, and he hoped that it
would be voted down. 1t was very
unusual practice.
Mr.. Benedict said that he only
wanted to save time, and he had nc
other motive.
Mr. Smith said that he was in
earnest in saying that there was some
motive back of the motion. Nobody
wanted to save time more than he.
Mr. Benedict withdrew. his motion.

The committee had difficulty II
reading its report, and on motion OF
Mr.. Schmitt the reading was dispensed
with and the report was ordered filed
with the secretary.
Mr.. Schmitt then moved that the
temporary organization be made per
manent, and this was carried.
Strong Resolutions Adopted.
The committee on resolutions pre-.
scntcd the following resolution:
Whereas, the republican party stands
today, where it has stood for years
advocating those progressive principles
that best serve to protect the rights

can people; and
Whereas, the republican party is the
only party that has ever held its
promises to the people inviolate; and
Whereas, by intrigue and design the
democratic party in Minnesota has
successfully created discord in the
ranks of the republican party and
thereby procured enough republican
votes to elect democratic governor
who has by his appointments re-
placed republican officials with demo

said he had talked with large num-
Der of railway men throughout the
middle west and that they believed Mr..
Taft would deal Justly by both the
railways and their employees.
"The railroad men appreciate what
the president has done in preventing
reduction in wages. They believe
Mr.. Taft would adopt Il similar policy,
and would support him if nominated.
If the republican convention makes him
the nominee there will be 10 question

From Fridays d,

Sheriff Donahue returned to the city
yesterday afternoon from Buena Vista
Col, with Raymond J. Donahur. The
latter was this morning arraigned be-
fore Judge Comstock on the charge of
grand larceny in the second degree,
and waived an examination and was
bound over to the grand jury, and his
bond was placed at $500. In default
|of the bond being furnished. he was
committed to the county Jail.
Donahur's otlense is alleged to have
been committed the night of May
'l3 last, and to have consisted in the
theft from Ed. Pfeiffer's cigar factory
of Ss in money. Donahur did not
admit to Sheriff Donahue that he
took the money, neither did he deny
1t very strongly. and intimated that
lie might conclude to go before Judge
Cray and plead guilty and be sem
fenced to saltwater for short term,
rather than await trial at the June
term of court.
Sheriff Donahue had no difficulty i'm
getting his prisoner.

1.-THE kind of harmony" that has ex-
listed the past four years. The ques-
tion that now confronted the coun-
TRY was whether the rich-the corpo-
rate intcrcsts-and the poor have the
same chance before legislative bodies
and executive officers. 1t was not a
question of whether all could get re-
lief i'll the courts from injustice, but
could they get the same relief. The
public conscience is becoming pricked,
and conditions are getting better. Much
graft and rottenness have been discov
cred in the cities, but this should be
considered a good sign rather than the
reverse. The people should stand by
those men who stand by the best
things and the cleanest politics.
The party is now supporting one
of the greatest men of this stamp, and
when the national convention meets
in Chicago it will nominate William
III. Taft for president on the first bal
lot. He was glad that the convention
had endorsed Mr.. Hunt, as he knew
him to be personally and enthusiastic
cally supporting Taft. The party
should be unanimous in its support
of the party choice for the offices. 1t

From Mondays Dali

Uncle George" Anthony died at the
poor farm at three o'clock this morn
ing as the result of general break
down, due to old age. He was ninety
three years old last February. Little
or nothing is known of his family.
He driftcd into Mankato one G,,o thir-
teen years ago, and Henry Zimmerman
Jr., who was then conducting the City
Hotel, took him in and kept him ever
since. He worked around little, as
long rs he was able. and when his
health failed, Mr.. Zimmerman still
kept him, taking him to his home
when he gave up the hotel. Finally
Mr.. Zimmerman placed him in the
hospital, where he remained until two
months ago, and as he could not well
be cared for there any longer he was
taken to the poor farm. Mr.. and
Mrs. Himmclman were very kind to
the old man, doing all possible to
make his old age comfortable.
II is thought that Uncle George
came from New York. He was very
quiet and reserved and spoke but
little, but one story is that he was
once wealthy. He was, familiar

TAFTs STRENGTH INCREASES

Today's and tomOrrow's state and
district republican conventions will pro.
badly serve to increase the lead OF
Secretary Taft for the presidential
nomination.
Niinncsota's four delegates at large
will be selected tomorrow at h con-
vcntion in Minneapolis and they will be
instructed for the war secretary.
The hottest fight of the day will be
that in the convention of the Sixth
Massachusetts, district, i'll session at
Salem. The two Taft candidates for
delegates are opposed by candidates
who desire to 90 to Chicago without
instructions. The campaign has been
bitterly contested and early reports
from the scene of battle indicate an
acrimonious session.
Governor Hughes will gain two dele
gates in the Tirty fourth congressional
district of New York, which is hold
ing its convention at Batavia.
Speaker Cannon will also add two
delegates to his column today, as a
result of the Thirteenth Illinois dis
trct convention.
District conventions were held in
Minnesota today. They all rang with
the hearty Endorsements of Secre-
tary Taft. Minnesota will send "a solid
Taft delegation to the Chicago con-
vcntions. They will prove an impor-
tant factor in that large body.

LOYAL LEGION'S BIG MEETING
Veterans Have q Froiie at the Gath
ering Last Night.

One of the most successful gather
ngs in the history of the Minnesota
commandcry of the Loyal Legion and
one noted for its originality and noveI
conception was held last night at the
Ryan, with over 200 present. The
usual banquet, took place, but in place
of series of toasts and addresses the
evening was devoted to "a Day in
Camp" The routine of soldiers life
from reveilIe to taps was presented
the bugle calls being set to words and
running account given of all the hap
penings of the day:
Captain b. \. Hicks explained the va
rious happenings, introducing the
scenes and depicting clearly soldier life
in camp. a quartet, composed of four
gray haired veterans, sang several
rollicking old war time songs with rare
spirit. The idea, a clever one, was
well worked out and the day in camp
was most interesting, with its duties
frolics and songs and when finally aft
er taps the entire assemblagc arose
and sang one verse of "My Country,
Ills of Thee the picture was COM
pleted.
Prior to the banquet, the nominating
committee which will select the Off
GERS of the chapter for the ensuing
year, was chosen: General James II.
Baker, Lieutenant Thomas II. Dick
son, Lieutenant George o. Eddy, Cap
tain o. s. Clark and Captain d. A.
Sudworth The election of officers will
be held in the early part of May.
