A. FALCo's WILL IS
 PRoBATED IN YAVAPAI
(Erom Sunday's DailYl

Yesterday in the probate court the last will of the late Aehille Faleo was filed, together with a petition for the probate thereof, and for let teTs testamentary thereon, to be is- will of MT. Falco was made in 1896, in this city, while he was a resident. The deceased few years ago moved to Los Angeles, where he passed away. The action taken as above in the probate court of this county is due to the fact that the will was drawn here, and the witnesses to it are still residents of this city. Af- ter the death of MT. Falco in Los Angeles. his widow moved to Brus- sels, Belgium, which city is at pres ent her home, and it is at this point also where the estate is situated. It is the belief of those familiar with the deceased, that he accumulated real estate in that city of a very valuable character, running to a large sum, together with other European securities that have matured since his demise
 NIT. Falco will be well remembered here as the operator of the Gladiator mine. in the Bradshaws, and the Peck mine, near by. In these ventures he is said to have expended a vast amount of capital, and it was his belief that if he had been permitted to follow out his plans of handling the Gladiator ground he would have demonstrated the merit of the under taking. He was well connected in Paris, France, having a brother who is member of the Loyal Legion of that republic, and a jurist of high rating, possessing also a large for tune. While a resident of Colo rado. MT. Faleo was prominently rated in mining circles, making a for tune. and investing portion of it in what is today in evidence in the ae- tion of the probate court of this county. on the request of the widow from Belgium. The publicity of the will will be awaited with interest by many in this city of the deceased.

DETAILS or NEW LEAD
 SHELTER AT MAYER
From Sundays Daily)


 Referring to an article in this paper some few days ago, the Jour nal-Miner has received eorroborative information from the Mayer Business Mems association relative to the exact status of affairs at Mayer, in connection with the new lead smelt- ing plant which is about to be built.
 The lead furnace will be installed alongside of the present volatizatiOn plant without in any way disturb ing that apparatus.
 The furnace will have a capacity of 100 tons of ore per day. This volume of ore comes from very care ful estimates made of the field in Yavapai county and without taking into consideration the outlying. dis tricts to the south and west.
 A lead shelter is absolutely essen tial to the future development of the country. ..
 While this lead shelter will treat lead ore it should be definitely under stood that a shelter of this kind will also treat gold and silver ore and to a certain extent, copper ore.
 The energetic efforts of the Mayer Business Mems association should be highly appreciated, because their purpose is extremely laudable as 1t will not only help out their section of the country but will be an ever lasting benefit and boon to Arizona, and realizing the fact that this is so a number of mining men of Mayer and vicinity have already subscribed for $lOOOO worth of the shelter bonds.

BIG DEAL REPORTED IN
 CASTLE DOME DISTRICT
From Sundays Daily)

YUMA, Ariz., July PA telegram received by Louis Faatana from Felix Mayhew, now iB Los Angeles, states that the AlvaradO strike, in the Gas tie Dome district, was today sold to a party of Los Angeles capitalists, represented by R. J. Williams of that city. It is also stated that the new company will have machinery and workmen upon the ground in thirty days, ready to commence ex- tensive development work. The deal involves $30O,00O, an option for that amount having been given some time since by the owners, J. M., L. P. and Fred AlvaradO and Felix Mayhew. This option was to have expired on the first of August and it has been known for some time that the hold CTS were exceedingly anxious to close the business, while the Alvar- ado brothers and MT. Mayhew re- gretted their nasty assent to the terms of s3OO,0OO, when they saw the later assays upon rock from the claim. The AlvaradO, which con sists of fourteen claims, two of which are placer, was located Janu- Iary 12 of the present year by two of the AlvaradO brothers, !, Joe and Fred, who afterward included the third brother, Alex, and Felix May hew, a brother-in-law, in the owner ship. The strike lies sixteen miles southwest of Kofa, and about twelve miles from the wonderful producer of the west, the North Star. With the latter and the Amavisea, owned by a California stock company, of which Senator w. A. Barker of Pasa- dena is president, it makes a trio of marvelously rich mines in the Gas tie Dome district-the Fl Dorado of Arizona. Development work suffie- tent to make manifest the great hid den wealth of the AlvaradO was carried on until the heat of midsum- mer and the scarcity of water put an end to active operations. Ore from the mine, being assayed, has run as high as 5000 to the ton. The rock is hard but free milling, a considerable amount of free gold being carried.
 The importance of this deal, the forerunner as it undoubtedly is, to a number which will be made during the year, to Yuma county, can scarcely be Overestimated. It will, among other things, insure the de- velopment of many smaller claims of the district which even DOW are held at high values.

SUFFERING ENDS,
We'll Known Mechanic Passes Away
 From Lingering Illness.
(Fren Puesday's Haily)

After three years of patient sui fering, Henry s. Fernades passed away at his. home in this city, Mon day. morning. He was an emplOye of the s. F., P & P. railway in this city, in the ear repairing department, arriving here about three years ago with his wife and family. He came here at that time in the hope of bafflinf tuberculosis, but the disease had made such. inroads tat it was useless to resist the inevitable fate that awaited him.
 The death of this man is a sad one in many ways. He has a large family. left dependent upon their own efforts, among whom are children of very tender years, to whom in their hour of affliction, much sorrow is expressed. Among his associates universal regret is shown, he being popular with all. and among whom are aequaintanees of years stand ing. He was a native of Portugal and about fOrty-three years of age. He and his family came here from Jacksonville. H.. where he had re sided for many years previous. His father and mother still reside there with brother and sister. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 2:3 OO'elOek, and will be conducted by Maus & shannon. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, and under their auspices will the last sad rites be administered.
 The sympathy of the community is extended to the members of his family in their hour of bereavement.

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO
 THE COUNTY ROADS
(FrOm Sunday s Daily)

Disastrous washOuts followed the storm of yesterday and at Whipple particularly serious damage resulted. The railroad track near the ice plant was undermined and the wagon road way was damaged to such an extent that it is impossible to teams. The bed of the track was cribbed up so as to permit ears to pass over last night. The board of supervisors have a force of men working, and this morning an effort will be made to place the highway in condition for temporary use for teams.
 To the south of Prescott. along Banning creek, the storm waters obliterated the county road, and it is said to be impossible for any ve- hiele to pass over that route. This condition is shown at the same point as prevailed last year. The new grade made by the county there has been washed out entirely, and it will be necessary to construct a new road through that section.

THE PRESCoTT-JUNIPER
 AUTOMOBILE ROUTE
CFrom Sundays Daily)

Progressive methods in transpor- tation seems to be the keynote of this section, and the latest entree in that line is the receipt in this city by the Bashford- -Burmister com pany of an auto road wagon. This vehicle will be used by George Con ard, the government mail carrier, in transporting postal matters as well as freight to points in the western part of the county along the route from Prescott to Juniper, a distance of fifty miles. This road wagon will go into commission tomorrow in its initial run, and with MT. Conard the contractor, H. D. Aitken of this mercantile house, will propel it or act as the chauffeur on the tryont. Test runs given this vehicle yester- day were satisfactory, and it per formed the work excellently. It is of twenty-four-h horse power and weighs about 2,OOO pounds. It is manufactured by the International Harvester company and in its me chanical features is designed to per form the hardest of service, being de- signed especially to carry a maxi mum load of 1000 pounds, and to travel at the rate of twenty miles an hour. Its tires are made of solid rubber cushions, the pneumatic fea- ture not being in evidence. It has all the appearance of a frst-class spring wagon, only built on more durable lines The front wheels are of forty inches in diameter, and the hind ones fortyfour inches. The in tention of MT. Conard in placing this character of transportation on the road is to reduce the cost over the old methods of horse and wagon expense, and to cut down the hours of travel. He says that the caring of horses, the heavy expense of feed ing hay and grain, together with other incidental expenses, absorbs all revenue from the contract prices he receives, and he believes the auto wagon will relieve the burder that prevails. To lessen the time is also potent factor, and rapid delivery will be an objective also.
 The Bashford- -Burmister company are also to receive one of these ve- hicles for their town orders or TO serve nearby points. Following the introduction. of this improved method several others are waiting to see it in commission. Its sdaptability is already established at several points in southern Arizona, and that the general introduction of this type of wagon transportation will follow here is the belief of all who have wit messed this one at work in the trial runs around the city.

NEW DEPARTURE.

Conard' s new auto road wagon left yesterday morning for Juniper and way points, loaded with mail and over 1900 pounds of freight, on its initial run and tryout. H. D. Ait ken was at the helm. Its start was made under favorable conditions, and the intention was to get to the des- tination in two hours. The distance is fifty miles. The wagon will re- turn this morning. Mir. COnard's in tention is to utilize this wagon for express purposes and for hunters from this city, especially during the open game season, the Juniper range of mountains being noted for har. boring big game, and enjoying a good name among hunters.

ELECTRICAL STORM
 VISITS THE CITY
(6JBQ. S. .6Bpuns moIdD

tAttBQ. S.ABputlS uoIH)
 Yesterday exemplified the old adage that the star of empire is trav- cling westward, so far as this ap- plies to the stormy conditions pre- vailing for several days past. The elements finally drifted over the city, and turned themselves loose. A great volume of water was preeipitated and lightning as usual played a prom inent part in the weather engage ment. No damage of a serious na- ture resulted, but several buildings were struck. The Catholic church seems to be the center of gravity of every electrical disturbance in this section, and yesterday it was struck and damaged to some extent. The spire on this lofty edifee was pene- tarted and twisted and a streak of the tower was ripped out about enght inches wide for a length of twenty UT mOIt AccSY hucH bhc DO4I S1AuCA the roof and tore off shingles. About four years ago this same building was struck and a joist cut in two, neees- sitating an insurance company going to considerable expense to repair the damage.
 At the same time the bolt struck the Francis house, a few feet to the north, doing but little harm to that building.
 It then continued to the plaza, and singling out a trolley pole in front of the Hotel St. Michael, started at the top and went down into the ground at the bottom, ereasing the side as if large knife had entered it. -"
 It then passed to South Prescott, and having an affinity for verdant spots, alighted on the greenhouse of Mrs. W. N. Kelly, ripping out DOT tion of that pretty place and set ting it on fire. The fremen were called and the fire was put out.
 From that point it went along un- til the corner of Western avenne and Grove street was singled out, large pine tree in front of the Mercy hospital, being in the way, which it eneircled, and tore off the bark, causing several people considerable uneasiness for a time.
 From there it went south again, and tackled a fence on South Me Cormiek, splintering it into matches.
 Granite creek was a raging tor rent as usual and the dOwnpour at it's source must have been heavy, as it carried a larger body of water than the season up to date has re- corded, being about five feet deep from bank to bank.
 If the system continues as it has been in evidence for the past week, the western portion of the county is yet to receive the drenehing the east ern portion has experienced, these terrific downpours travelling from the east to the west.

FRANKS AIRSHIP AT. SCHOOL

Mr. 1Tackett combined the duties OF
principal and teacher, and was not
popular with his pupils. He was
big, austere old man, who seldom
smiled, and, while he made a very
good teacher as far as grounding them
in the various branches of learning
went yet he showed little personal in
terest in their welfare except "in the
interest of corporal correction" as
Frank had ruefulIy remarked once.
Bill asked him what that meant and
Frank had grimly replied that "the
exact meaning of the words could only
be realized by actual experience"
Frank little knew when he brought
the. Peacemaker to school that he was
lining up" for some more expert
ence."

irresponsible boy about Franks age,
and always acted first and thought

gy liked to go around with the girls.

fancy, and Greggy made himself ludi-
crous more than once to win even a
word or a look from the proud young
schoolroom beauty. He did not care
what means he took to attract her at
tention, and his imaginative mind saw
a romantic opportunity in the Peace
into Clara's notice. SO that was the

Such was the successful though in

open war between Frank, his teacher
and the unknown mischief makec.
Frank vowed vengeance against this
