IMPROVEMENTS FOR
 PRESCOTT PLAZA
(From Fridays Daily.l


 Another laudable improvement, and one that will add to the beauty and attractiveness of the city, is now con templated in the building of cement system of walks around the plaza. This move is fathered by Mayor Gold water, and it has been presented to Chairman Harrington of the county board of supervisors. in the hope that this body will support the project by extending pecuniary aid to its erea- tion. To carry out this splendid move ment, the cooperation of the county is desired with that of the city, and in addition to this dual feature of financing the plan submitted, Mayor Goldwater says that one-third of the cost will be borne by private in- dividuals. thereby making the i'm provement of the city and county property one of a perfectly feasible character so far as finances are to be considered. The plan proposed is to construct walk 12 feet wide around the square, the work to be lined up against the curb in place, while the intervening space is to be left open on the city ground for cultivation in any manner desired.
 While thIs movement is in a stage of discussion and nothing definite as yet is authorized for its consumma- tion, it is very probable nevertheless that it will be crystalized into favor able action at an early date, sentI- ment strongly supporting the move ment in official channels as well as among the citizens generally who will assist the work from their private re- sources. Many years ago, while mayor of this city, MT. Goldwater brought this question before his administra- tion, and after so many years it is pleasant to contemplate that the in itial steps looking to this improve ment are nearing a solution while he is yet engaged in looking after the welfare of his constituency.
 The cost of this work is estimat- ed at about S2,5OO, a much lesser sum than was originally outlined sev- eral years ago, when it was then recognized as Ca long felt want"

that the only method that promised success. was to start from a base of supplies with a small crew of proved Esquimaux. and progress to a point within 200 miles of the pole, then cache supplies and establish the bulk of the party there or send them back, and then make a dash for the pole with. but one companion. Fiala, fresh from his struggle with the ice-hum mOcks in which his progress had often been restricted to two miles 2 day, asserted decisively that no party of any size could safely try to carry enough provisions to last to the pole and back. A fair sized party could bring supplies close enough to re- plenish the equipment of the sprint CTS for the pole on their return, but the two best men with the greater number of the dogs were all that could safely make the final dash. If one thinks of it, it is fairly obvious proposition. This was Dr. Cook s plan, the fruit of the experience of the many unsuccessful explorers, and from the meagre reports at hand, Le seems to have followed to the letter, sending back Esquimaux at two places after caehing supplies for his retuen trip.
 Modest to an unusual degree, a man who habitually understates, rather than overstates what he does, Mir. Cunniff added, if Dr. Cook has stated that he reached the pole, there san be little doubt that he did reach it.

ORE IS FIN
 VOLUNTEERED IN SHAFT

GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 1.-"The Joe Bush shaft is now in 20 feet of ore of a better grade than anything ever found before on the Inspiration prop erty."
 Such was the statement made last night by George E. Gum, manager of the Inspiration Mining company, who with Consulting Engineer Henry Krumb has been inspecting the prop erty for the past few days.
 FThe showing which has been made in the Joe Bush shaft within the past few days has exceeded my expeets- tions," continued NIT. Gum. "Some of the ore runs phenomenally high, al though this may be only local. For 20 feet, however, the ore shows a very decided improvement and so far has given no evidence of discon- tinuing.
 "The shaft will be sunk to a depth of 400 feet, when drifting will begin.
 "Work was commenced yesterday on the new Scorpion shaft. This snalt is located 2,OOO feet northwest of the Joe Bush. The outlook at this shaft, even at its beginning is very good.
 "At the present time I am unable to give any information regarding the tonnage of ore on the property. This will be announced when the property has been more thoroughly developed, which work will be carried on as rap idly as possible"
 Gum and Krumb left this morning for the Mission valley, where they have other interests which demand at tention.

THE COLONEL"
 WENT TO COURT
He Appeared as Complainant in Breezy Action Heard Before Judge
 M'Lane
(From Saturdays Daily)

minutes the barrister called it off, and to use the vernaeular of the street, he "ducked." Mrs. Pruitt was the star witness of the day, and her retorts to the lawyer gave the seane a decidedly dramatic tone, and it is useless to state she was not call ed to the stand again during the aIt- ernoOn for a re-cross examination.
 Mrs. Rogers followed Mrs. Pruitt and gave a vivid account of the wrecked interior, specifying every ar tiele that was struck by the ire of the accused, and after an inventory was taken the only thing that was not molested was the electric current that runs through the wires of the house. She identified the letter writ ten by her to Mrs. Mcdonald in which she gave notice that the rent of the rooms after September 1st would be $1 per day or $50 per month.
 This was the smoke that broke into the flames later. Continuing her evi- denee Mrs. Rogers created some laugh ter when she said: HMrs. Mcdonald said that some brother Elk would pay her fine if she thrashed me-" Also at another point Mrs Rogers said in answer to a direct question: ''Well, I didn't like her looks any way right from the first''
 "Yes, sah,.' exclaimed the Colonel as he stepped to the witness chair, and then he began the recital of his woes as the head of a home. He in terspersed the trouble by saying that in his 5 years on earth this was the first time he had lodged a complaint against anyone. He eorroborateu the evidence of MT. and Mrs. Pruitt and his wife, and assessed the damages at S2OO. On cross examination when it was getting warm he jumped to his feet and raising his right hand and pointing his finger in a threatening dS AdAOO1Nf AOoO tO AA' feet when asked if he had ever been alone in the room with Mrs. MeDon- aid, by exclaiming in loud tone of voice, "NO, SAH.'
 Here the territory took a rest, and the defendant was called to the stand, denying that she had in any day de- stroyed the property. She was sup ported by Mrs. Greer, while the two transfer men who removed her trunk, also eorroborated her testimony by saying that they did not see any de stroyed property.
 The case then went to the follow ing jury: Gideon Shul, Thomas Laird, William Barclay, J. Estes, JO- seph Birch, A. Ross. After a short deliberation they returned a verdict of guilty. Judge MeLane set this morning 10 o'clock as the time for passing sentence.

NEW PUMPS FOR
 TOMBSTONE MINES
(From Fridays Daily)

It is reported that the new pumps for the Tombstone Consolidated prop erty, in which Prescott people are interested, will arrive very shortly. They will be placed on the 500 or goo foot level and when in operation, it will be but a short time until the water in the mines will be lowered below the other pumps, which are now under water. These pumps will be overhauled and put in first class shape and pressed into service agaiI. In future the company will have pumping capacity ample to insure safety from flooding. The Tombstons mines are good property, but water has been the cause of considerable trouble.

GREAT DEVELOPMENT
 AT LITTLE JACK MINE
Rron ThursdaY.s Daily,


 One of the good indications of the day in the general and steady re- sumption of mining work that is go- ing on in this immediate field, is that of the Little Jack operations that are under headway at the pres ent time near MeCabe in the Chapar- ral basin. At this mine c. W. Ruff ner is working several men, and the purpose is to extensively develop the ground.
 MT. Ruffner IS retimbering the shaft and in a few days will start to unwater it. After this is accom-. plished it is his purpose to continue sinking from the 95-fOOt shaft and after the 10O-fOot level is reachd he will cut a station and begin the work of drifting on the vein. He feels very enthusiastic over the outcome and basis this belief on being locat ed on a belt that has resulted hand somely wherever it has been penetrat ed to any depth. The ore carried ir the Little Jack is an iron sulphide and some teIIurium is also encounter ed. He will return to his camp to day to continue the exploitation oi the property.

HISTORIAN TO VISIT NORTHERN
 ARIZONA
Mulford Winsor Will Come Here For Valu-
 able Data
From Saturdays DaiIyl


 Having secured much valuable data concerning the early history of Ari- zona, Mulford Wiusor, territorial his torian, has returned from several weeks in Pima county, and will short ly go into the northern part of Ari- zona to prosecute his search in that part of the territory.
 Winsor devoted much of his time to getting data about the puntative expedition led into Mexico by Henry Crabb in 1857, which resulted in the death of Crabb and 1O6 of his fol lowers through the treachery of the man Crabb had planned to assist.
 Prof. R. H. Forbes of the Univer- sity of Arizona has for several years made a careful study of the Crabb expedition, and furnished WinsOr with the results of his investigations, in cluding an interesting pamphlet which he has prepared.
 "From what I could gather from Prof. Forbes and others" said Win sOr this afternoon, "Crabb organized his expedition in California following an understanding with Pesqueria that in the event of the latter being able to overthrow Governor GandarO of Sonora. Crabb was to have a string of territory lying along the north bound ary of Sonora.
 "Crabb was to have furnished 1000 men, but entered Mexico by way of Yuma with only 1O6. While they were on the way, Pesquiera conquered Pandaro, and took charge of Sonora.
 "When Crabb reached CabOrea, Pes quiera, who had no further use for him, .repudiated his agreement. Crabb and all his followers were captured, but were promised safe escort back to the United States. They were all taken out and treaeherously shot in stead.
 'Colonel Tozier organized a relief expedition at Tucson and went to Mexico. They were fortunate to get back alive, and endured hardships on the trip.
 ."As far as I can learn, the only living survivor of the Tozier relief ey- petition is John G. Capron, who now lives at San Diego. Capron was a member of the first Arizona legisla- ture. met him while in California and obtained much information from him.
 Winsor has learned that Crabb s widow now resides in San Francisco, and later he will communicate with her, in the hope that she may be able to furnish interesting information.
 In addition to the Crabb expedition, Winsor studied other important early day events, including the movements of the Spanish padres. He obtained several sets of manuscripts that bear on this as well as other pioneer sub jects.
 Sidney R. DeLong, secretary of the Arizona Historical society, furnished Winsor with considerable data that will later he used in the History of Arizona.

PRESIDENT MAY VISIT
 SOUTHERN ARIZONA
(FrOm Friday Dailyl

After all President Taft may visit Prescott by daylight and see the southern part of the territory, mak- ing a stop at Tucson and possibly at Bisbee. This will be the new pro gram if F. NJ. Murphy, who is now en route to New York, succeeds in his plan to induce the president to thus change his itinerary.
 MT. Murphy made known his in tentions in this respect to Mayor GOlf- water just before he left for the east on Wednesday. His proposition is to have the presidential party go direct from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon and then run a special train with the presidential ear attached through the territory and into Albu- querque. The presidents present itia- erary is based on the running sched- ule of regular trains, but by running Especial" enough time would be saved so as to enable the tour to be made via Tucson and possibly include Bisbee. In this case, President Taft would probably be in Prescott about noon on October Is. and this would afford an opportunity for a much more elaborate demonstration than .. night reception. Tucson will undoubt- edly be delirious with joy if this proposed change in the program should be effected. While MT. Murphy has held out no hopes that the proposed change in the itinerary can be made, yet there is some assurance in the fact that he generally succeeds in whatever he undertakes.
 The various committees on the presi- dential reception met last night in the Hotel St. Michael parlOrs, the meet ing being presided over by Robert 2. Morrison of the executive committee. As the proposed change in the itin- erary is only prospective, the com mittee proceeded to act upon the as sumption that the original program would be carried out, which is that the president and party will arrive here from Phoenix at 6:2O p. m. and remain for an hour.
 As the first meeting when the executive committee was named, it | was tentatively agreed that the schoolhouse grounds would be the place for the president to address the | public, but last night the matter was thoroughly discussed and it was de- cided to erect a stand on the side | walk on the north side of the plaza One reason for this selection was the | fact that the courthouse and grounds | would be the scene of a brilliant H. | lumination, and another that large throng could be accommodated on Cur ley street on either side of the stand. | The committee on arrangements was accordingly instructed to work upon the board of supervisors and secure their permission to use the plaza for the purpose named. This committee will then meet with the committee on decorations, and after estimating the expense of the affair the finance eom- mittee will be called into conference, and general meeting of all com mittees held on next Thursday eve ming.
 Should a change be made in Presi- dent Taft's itinerary, that will cause his stop to be made here in day light. then different arrangements will be made for the reception.
