GooDWIN'S IDEA
Temre Citizen Wants the Forest Re
 serves to Build Roads

That the national forest reserve funds should help the county as well as the territory to build good roads through the national forests is the opinion of J. c. Goodwin of Tempe. ''I see by the press that there will be ex- pended this year some $600,0OO in i'm proving conditions in the forest re- serve. It seems that the national for est reserve Tn Idaho has used consider able money in connection with the county and state to build highways
 CT think it is nothing more than fair that a county like Coeonino, which is almost covered by a national reserve. should have one good road built from the Grand Canyon of the Colorado south by way of Flagstaff to a point near Camp Verde and main tained by the national forest reserve funds. These lands covered by the forest reserve have been withdrawn from entry and the chance for the de- velopment in the counties of the north have been crippled, and I think if the proper person would see to it, this road and an extension on down through Va vapai county will be built and main tained at the expense of the federal government ''-Phoenix Gazette.

PLACER MINING HAS NOT
 YET BEEN ABANDONED

SPOKANE, Wash, May s.-Plaeer miners operating on the old channels to northern and central Idaho, south ern Oregon, northern California and other parts of the Pacific slope will make a cleanup of from $i,500,0 to S5,000,000 in gold this season, thus demonstrating that the placer ground, though worked more than a half cen tury, is far from "petered out" There is much activity this season in and near Elk City, Florence and other camps in north central Idaho, where nuggets ranging in value from 25 10 50 cents and some coarse gold were taken out a few days ago.
 Several companies have installed dredges with which the gold ground is lifted to seows and there washed for colors, and this operation has been so successful that additional machinery will be put to work in a small time. The ground in the old channels carries values of from eight to thirty cents a cubic yard, while the cost of mining it with pipe and giant ranges from two to five cents. Some of this ground was worked with rocker, sluiee and shovel 60 years ago, when elean-ups ranging from $25,OO0 to $50,000 were not ,,nnSual
 Water from the mountain streams and the snow on the high ranges is now used with hydraulic apparatus to tear the pay dirt to bedrock, usually slate, and the nuggets are found among the boulders and heavy rock. Black sand carrying platinum, is also found on the lower strata. The top cover ings are usually elays.
 Randall II. Kemp, a veteran miner of Spokane, who has prospeeted with success in various parts of the west from the Black Hills to Alaska since 1875 says the time is not far distant when the placer mines in Idaho will produce from s2,5OO,OOO to s3,OO0,O00 in gold q season, adding there is no phase of mining in which the element of chance is reduced to so small a min imum, for the reason that miner IS able to determine within a fraction of dollar the value of the ground before starting work.

CHINAMAN'S GAME
 GETS HIM IN TROUBLE
(From Sundays Daily)

(From Sundays Daily)
 Joy reigned supreme in the Chinese quarter last night, the occasion being the capture and incarceration in the county jail of QuOng Ming, Chinese, who secured the cash on a $200 check the night of May and the following morning withdrew his account from the Bank of Arizona and left the city before the cheek was presented for payment. Quong Ming was arrested in Jerome May : by City Marshal and Deputy Sheriff Fred Hawkins imme- diately after his arrival there. He was lodged behind the bars here last night by Sheriff Smith.
 Quong Ming IS considered an outlaw by his fellow eountrymen. In com mon with others he has been in the habit of having his checks eashed at local business houses after banking hours. He has been accommodated this way on several occasions during the last two months at Birch Brothers cafe. He invariably returned the fol lowing morning and paid the cash for the checks, redeeming them before presented for payment at the bank. He failed to call to redeem his s2O0 check the morning of May 6. IL was presented for payment at the bank in the afternoon, when the discovery was made that the Oriental had withdrawn his account from the bank when the in stitution opened for business that morning. The sheriff s office was no- tifed and a search of the city made for the erring Oriental, who had al ready left for parts unknown. The Chinese became aroused at the dastard- ly conduct of their countryman- They notified prominent Chinamen of other cities to have Ming arrested on sight. The sheriff's office notified the officers in Kingman and Needles to arrest him if apprehended going through on the railroad to California. Marshal flaw kins of Jerome was also communicated with and requested to keep a sharp lookout for the fugitive. Ming was in custody less than fifteen minutes af- CT his arrival in the Copper City. Ming claims that he went from Will Hams to Jerome and was never in this city. He was positively Identified after his arrival at the county jail last night. He refused to recognize his old acouaintanees, turning his face away from them and ignoring their ad- vances.
 After withdrawing his account from inc Bank of Arizona he walked to Jerome Junction, where he purchased ticket to Jerome over the United Verde & Pacific railroad. He had s197. 50 on his person when taken into custody by Marshal Hawkins.

Edward M. Doe was born in Yer mont in 1850, and his education was acquired in Iowa, whither his parents removed. He studied in the public schools of Iowa, was graduated from the Iowa State University in 1870, and from the law department of the same university the following year. For several years afterward he en- gagged in a general practice in Iowa, removing thence to Fort Worth, Tex as, and in the spring of 1887 he came to Flagstaff, conducting a law practice with W. G. Stewart, the firm name be- ing Stewart & Doe. After the death of his partner, MT. Doe was appointed the first district attorney of Coconino county by Governor Irwin, when that county was separated from Yavapai. He served one term, and in 1908 was elected to the office, position winch he now fills.
 He is considered one of the bright est attorneys in northedn Arizona, and among his clients in Coconino county are the Saginaw Lumber company, the Arizona Cattle company, the J. NJ. Dennis company, and the Arizona Gen. tral bank. His. reputation as a pro found and erudite students of the law is by no means confined to Flagstaff, but extends over the territory. He has been the attorney of Delegate Ralph Cameron in all of his successful liti gation over the Bright Angel trail, and there is no doubt but that it was Cameron's influence that has now placed him on the bench.
 His appointment gives general satis faction in Prescott, where he has many warm friends, as MT. Doe is a man ot personal magnetism and affable il manner.
 Perhaps the most pleased man il Prescott over the appointment is At tornev T. c. Job who had several time refused to become a candidate for th position, and finally only consented t accept it. should it be tendered him after being repeatedly urged to do s by his closest friends.

HEAVY PRODUCTION FOR
 THE MONTH OF APRIL
CFrom Sundays Daily)


 Reports from Globe show that April was q very satisfactory month for the companies in that district. No change of consequence has taken place in the operations of tine Old Dominion. The production of copper for the month was about 3,OOO,OOO pounds and devel- opment was on the same cOmprehen- sive scale as in previous months, most important being the driving of the west drift on the l4th level, which has advanced well beyond block l and had opened some excellent sulphide ore, and the east drifts on the 10th and 18th levels which are nearing the Old Hoosier mine and has opened ground rich in copper. The Inspiration, Gib- son, Cactus, Live Oak, Globe COnsol- dated, Superior & Boston and Arizona Commercial made important develop ments, which materially improved their already good prospects. The camp has been full of mining men for several weeks and two or tbree big deals are pending.
 Several carloads of structural steel for the Arizona Commercial smelter and power house arrived within the past few days; construction work will now advance rapidly and August 15 will undoubtedly see the shelter com- pleted and in operation. General Man. ager J. W. Bennie will soon go to Globe to personally supervise the cree ton of a plant and mine development. relieving Superintendent Pemberthy of part of the burden. The work of unwatering the Eureka shaft below the 60O-foot level was begun Saturday with good success. A million gallon pump for the 7OO-fOot station has been shipped from the east and should arrive within the next three weeks. With this addition to its pumping capacity, the Arizona Commercial will be in position to readily handle the flow of water likely to be encountered in the Black Hawk mine. The erosscut on the 60O-level has penetrated the vein about 60 feet but has not yet reached the foot wall, where the best ore IS expected to be found. At the Black Hawk workings sinking the winze was discontinued l25 feet below the 5O0- foot level, until the pumps at the Flu reka shaft have lowered the water in the vein. This winze is in high grade carbonate ore carrying ten to twelve ounces of silver. As soon as the Eure- ! ka shaft is undered the development of the 600 and 700 levels will be pushed vigorously.
 At the McGraw shaft sinking and raising continues and June 1 should see the shaft opened to the 4OO-level. At the Great Eastern the winZe has reached a depth on the incline of lS4 feet below the 100 level and is still in fine ore carrying high values in copper and silver. Stoping continues on the 400 and intermediate levels and ship ments of 40 to 90 tons of ore are being made daily to the Fl Paso shelter. Al the MeGraw shaft the foundations for the Sterling boilers has been completed and those for the hoist and compressor are in course of construction. The warehouse has been finished and some other improvements are being made
 At the Gardner shaft the weft drift on the 40O-foot level is being driven as rapidly as possible to reach the ore body that was opened by the Black Oxide tunnel higher up.

VERDE VALLEY Is IN PROSPEROUS
 CONDITION
Crops of Last Year Marketed at Good
 Prices
CFrOm Tuesday,s Haily)

"Verde valley farmers enjoyed the most prosperous year in the history of the valley in 1908 and arc now almost in the midst of another year that prom ises to be equally as prosperous, said Deputy Assessor Stephens, who arrived home Sunday from two weeks visit in the eastern part of the county.
 "The entire hay barley and other grain crops of last year were marketed at good prices 'ihe said. tThere is hardly enough grain in She valley or its tributary agricultural sections to feed the, work stock now.
 "This year promises to be the ban ner one for the fruit +ereps, provided no late frosts come. Fruit growers are anxious to see a eannery establish ed in the valley. The 6Ist-elass fruits find a ready market every year at good prices. With a eannery in the valley the second class product would also be in great demand.
 "New canals and ditehes are being built that will reclaim hundreds of acres and farmers are juhilant over the discovery of artesian water in the uP- per part of the valley.
 "Another feature that impresses the
 2. 4ho4 so an. fbo vaaapt IarOa land and cattle deals the old and con servative settlers were the purchasers. Very little outside capital IS invested, as many of the residents who were m moderate circumstances financially few years ago are now independently rich and anxious te add to their hold ings at every favorable opportunity. "Alfalfa cutting has started on the farms near Cottonwood. The wheat and barley crops are good, considering that this has been a backward spring. Hundreds of acres were, planted in fruit trees last year and many wells for ar tesian water will be sunk this year. In ease water is found in these wells, thousands of acres will be reclaimed m the next few years.
 '.The floods of last December did much damage to the ditehts and washed away many acres of fertile land. The ditehes and canals are De- ing repaired and are again in fair con dition. "The same general conditions pre- vail on Oak, Beaver and Clear Greeks, as in the Verde valley. Farmers and stoekmen are prosperous everywhere visited and ready to extend a hearty erecting to the deputy assessor. Feed is better on the outskirts of the valley than in many years, but not as good as nsual on the mountain ranges.
 1.-The roads in the valley and lead ing to it, especially the Copper Canyon road. have been improved since my last
 visit. The Copper Canyon road, which leads to Dewey from Camp Yer de, is now in excellent condition. l Everywhere I visited the farmers are particularly interested in two things. that is, when work will be re sumed at the Humboldt smelters and when the May term of the district court will open"
 Deputy Assessor Stephens will leave today for Ash Fork and Seligman on his annual assessing visits to these places.
