BACK ID THE PEN
 FOR 1. [. MILLER
This Time a Worthless Check Puts
 Him Back In the House of Gloom.

L. C. Miller, a resident of Phoenix when a boy, and a resident of Pres colt as a young man, with criminal record of rather a bad sort, was sentenced in Tombstone the other day to serve six years in the peni- tentiary for passing worthless check in Lowell He will also nave to serve the remainder of a paroled term.
 Miller seems doomed to spend most of his life in prison, due to both hard luck and a criminal instinct. His first serious difficulty occurred in Prescott, where it is understood he was sentenced to the penitentiary. In any event he was in the Prescott jail and broke out of it with an other prisoner, who during the incl dent killed Lee Norris, a young Pres cott man who chanced to be in the corridor of the court house. Both were captured and the murderer was hanged, Miller being sent to the pen for d life term. The first two years of his service seemed hopeless to him and he was recalcitrant and often punished. Finally he took better view of life, became a good prisoner, and it is said helped in preventing d pen delivery. His sen tence was commuted to twenty years, which with credits for good behavior thus encouraged would have released him in twelve years.
 NHe took up the study of engineer ing through a correspondence school, and it is said attained great profici- ency. His case was brought to the notice of Mrs. Russel Sage, who gave him set of engineering instru- ments valued at $500. Finally, in 1907, with two years of the twelve yet to serve, he brought his case before the board of control with such an appealing letter that a parole was granted and he went to Co., chise county.
 He had one or two minor clashes with the officers and finally came the check incident, which has now secured him another sentence of six years. Whether the violation of his parole eliminates all his good time or not is a question for the authori- ties, but anyway it would appear that he has two years of bacA time to serve and perhaps much more.

CONSOLIDATION IF
 NORTH B|SBEE MINES
Bisbee Coalition Will Be the Name of the New Exploitation.

A new mining company understood to be financed by New York capital ists. is about to be launched in this. immediate district, says a Bisbee paper. This company is called the Bisbee Coalition Mining company and it is reported that it has been in corporated under the laws of Ari- zona. although the papers have not been recorded It is the intention of this company to absorb the North Bisbee Development company, and a meeting has been called for the night of June 19 at the Copper Queen hotel ocomplete a deal
 The notices of this meeting were sent out yesterday to the stockhOld- CTS of the North Bisbee and are signed by R. J. Clark, the secretary. These notices state that the Bisbee Coalition Mining company will buy the North Bisbee stock at the rate of one share of Coalition for one share of North Bisbee.
 The Coalition company has been capitalized at 1,0O0,O00 shares at g. each and it has been arranged that 150,000 of it's shares are to be sold on the New York market at g. per share. After taking over the North Bisbee and selling the 15O,OOO shares the notice of the meeting says that there will be 5OO,OOO sares of stock left in the treasury.
 For some time there have been re- ports of deal concerning the North Bisbee and a short time ago papers outside of Bisbee reported that a consolidation of the North Bisbee and a number of other properties north of Bisbee had been affected or was about to be. This plan did not ma terialize at the time, but mining men think that the present move in con- nection with the Bisbee Coalition has something to do with the merger of the companies.
