OBITUARY.


In the early morning Of September Is,
,aa ..the silver cord was loosed, !" and the
.nir;, Of Miss Maria r. Wood, loved sis
,er and friend, was set free from its
..,tbly bonds. For weeks her hold on
life had been 50 slight It would seem that
oply the tender ministrations Of her sister
held her here.
Although she had passed her fourscore
vesrs..he never seemed old. Her interest in
an. both old and young, her ready and
cultured mind which not only kept pace
with the changes and improvements Of the
wears but with literature, music and art,
her unselishness and thoughtfulness for
others, her high ideals OF life, her unfail-
ing faith, her steadfsst friendship-these
virtues and many others that might be
enumerated are an index OF her character.
Whatever OF life's cares and SORROWS had
been her portion, she found much to en-
joy, and not the least were the beauties OF
nature. She was passionately fond OF
flowers, and her garden, filled with
bIossoming plants, was constant delight
to her while in her summer home.
Another great pleasure which came to
her was her stay in Southern California
for several years, where she painted to
her hearts content the beautiful flowers
that abound there, for she was an artist
possessed OF unusual talent. She also
wrote several books for Sunday school
libraries which were published some
years ago.
She united with the Congregational
church in 1851, and its interests were al
ways hers. Many will recall her helpful
Instruction as teacher in the Sunday
school and also in the day school, as well
as her useful services on the school board
II was through the personal efforts OF
Miss Wood that the work OF improving
the old cemetery was begun and carried
to successful issue few years ago
Identified with the best interests of the
town, all her life, it Is fitting some tribute
should be made to her memory.
For some years she and her sister, Miss
Abby F.. Wood, have spent their winters
in Dedhsm, Mass, with the youngest sis
ter, Mrs, George A. Chute. One other sister
survives-Mrs. Sarah Peters, OF Stockton,
CAL, and one brother-H. Il. Wood, OF
this place, all Of whom, with the other
relatives, have the sympathy OF large
circle Of friends.

BIG IMPROVEMENT FOR FEDERAL
 MINES

Chas. c. Secular and E. E. Hill, two prominent Chicago business men, were in Prescott Sunday en route to the properties of the Federal Min ing Company in the Cherry Creek district, in which they are inter- ested. They left yesterday morn ing for the mines and will return to Prescott later in the week.
 Several carloads of machinery have been ordered for the property and operations are to be continued there on a much more extensive scale than in the past.
 A hoist, mill machinery, three en- zines, the largest of 80 horse power capacity, a boiler and other supplies for the mine are included in the ship ment which is expected to arrive here within a few days.
 Both Messrs. Scouller and Hill are greatly pleased with the outlook for mining in this section. They consider the showings in the Yavapai districts the most promising that they have ever seen and they have great confidence in the future of this section.
 MT. Secular has made several trips to Yavapai county and states that with each succeeding trip he notices more mining activity. He states that conditions are much i'm proved in the east and adds that customers are looking to the south western country and especially to Ar izona for promising mining proposi- tions in which to make investments.

HAMPTON IS IN CITY GREETING THE
 FAITHFUL
He is Reserved Regard ing Probable Senator
 ial Nominations
,F'rom Tuesdays DaiIy)


 John R. Hampton, councilman iron Graham county and leader of tn, Democratic hosts in eastern Arizona is in the city hobnobbing with the faithful.
 Hampton, accompanied by Council man Mike Burns of Humboldt, arriv ed in the city Sunday from Phoenix where a conference was had with the powers that be in Democratic cir. cles in the Capital City.
 He will remain here until Wednes. day evening, when the rank and file will gather in the Wigwam theater to listen to Hampton, Burns, Sheriff Carl Hayden of Maricopa, and others of the party that tried in vain thrice to place the ''peerless one" from Nebraska in the chair that President Taft is now so comfortably and sat isfactorily filling.
 Hampton believes that Arizona is sure to get statehood. 'It seems to me almost foregone conclusion that Arizona and New Mexico will be admitted,'' said Mr. Hampton last evening. "And we Democrats do not propose to be caught mapping. That is why we are already perfeeting our organization for the coming state " Whether Hampton in this optimis- tic statehood utterance which is in striking contrast to the pessimistic interviews that the disgruntled and soundly trounced Marcus Aurelius Smith is giving out, has committed lese majeste remains to be seen. Prominently mentioned as one of the probable Democratic aspirants for the nomination for senator from the coming state of Arizona, Hampton, when questioned, on this matter says little.
 'I am not a candidate for any thing. I am only a member of the committee on organization, he says. "But your name has been men toned prominently in this eonnee- ton in both Democratic as well as Republican newspapers?"
 "Wel, newspapers publish lots of things" was his sole comment
 He declined to discuss further the
 
 CT he would be a "receptive candi- date," but those who are on the in- side say that Hampton, who was a power in the last legislature, will be in the running when the senator ial matter comes up before the Dem Ocratic territorial convention that will be held following Arizona $ admis- sion.

DOUGLAS DREAMER HAS WEIRD
 VISION
Has Delusion That Fort Whipple Will Be
 Abandoned
tFrom Tuesdays Daily)

Here is a dream from the Douglas Dispatch, which has a weird vision that the Shelter City is to be army headquarters in the Southwest:
 Every indication now is that the brigade army post headquarters is to be established at Douglas. Not only has General Thomas, in command of this division, recommended the estab- lishment of the post here, with rang es for artillery practice, but now comes the abandonment of all work preliminary to the renovation and en- largement of the post at Fort Hua- ehuca, indicating that the recommends tion made by the secretary of war in his recent report is to be carried out.
 The secretary of war advocated the eOmpressing of the forts throughout the west and southwest, on the score that while these small isolated posts and barracks were necessary during the days of pioneer life and Indian troubles, this time has now passed, and the needs of the army are in To- cations more easily reached by rail road lines, and nearer to the big cities.
 The establishment of the post headquarters at Douglas carried with it the abandonment of Forts Huaehuca and Whipple, and that it is expected this change will be made is fore easted in the fact that all work on the enlargement of the fort at Hua- chuea mountains has been called off
 The changes at. Fort Huaehuca were calculated to run into the hun dreds of thousands of dollars. A great laboratory for the hospital was among the plans. The specified tions and plans were given into the hands of contractors, among them Contractor Olson of Bisbee. At least two Douglas plumbing establishments HtAC ASuAAHS Oh thC IAuLAbAAS 1NA the laboratory, Dieus & Co. and R. B. Slime. The plumbing was to cost in the neighborhood of $6OOO for tn. one building alone. The contracts were to have been let December 6, but on the eve of that day the con- tractors received notice calling in all the plans and specifications, the pro- posed improvements having been aban- doned. While the changes of loea- ton of forts is a matter for the war the appropriations have to come from congress, and since congress is now in session it is taken that there isa feeling in Washing ton that the recommendations of the division commander and the secretary ,f war will be acted upon favora- ply by the legislative hody of the government.
 The establishment of the post in Douglas will mean the expenditure of | great amount of money, first for h: construction of the- post, and the and then a steady expendi- ure of money for the maintenance of | he post in this city.

He was pleased to leave the city after SO long a confinement in the Mercy Hospital.
