He was recognized recently by Frank Burns, sergeant at arms of the house of representatives, who in- formed Deputy Sheriff Adams of Mar dcopa county of the shooting and the presence of Vaughn there.
 Sheriff Smith was notified of the ar rest and finding no warrant for Vaughn's apprehension investigated the case in Phoenix Monday. He con ferred with Attorney O'Sullivan, who is said to have advised the transfer of Vaughn here for an investigation.

ERECT BIG STICK
 MILL AT HIGH SPEED
CFrom Fridays Daily)

CFrom Fridays Dany)
 Construction of the Big Stick Gold Mining Company's mill in the Santa Maria district is being pushed as rap idly as possible Fifty-fve mechanics and miners are employed at the mill and in the mine. The mill force is being increased as fast as mechanics here last night for the camp and three other mechanics will leave Saturday.
 General Manager T. E. Campbe.. stated yesterday that he is well pleas ed with the progress being made in the erection of the mill and with de- velopments int he mine. The boilers, engine and mill machinery are in place. He expects to have the mill ready for operation in forty-fve days.
 Including teamsters and those en- gagged in other occupations there are over 70 men in camp.
 General Manager Campbell also says that he mas five feet of ore un- covered at the 1O0-foOt level of the Number 9 shaft. A station is being cut at the level. Sinking will be re- sumed as soon as the station is finish ed and drifts started each way on the vein. The ore is of good milling grace.
 A new steam hoist 12 by 14, single drum, has been purchased. The plant will be erected at No. shaft as soon as delivered. The gasoline noist at No. 3 shaft will be moved to No. 9I shaft. Sinking will be pushed in both shafts as soon as the new plant is ready for operation at No. and the gasoline hoist moved to No. 9 shaft.
 General Manager Campbell, who has charge of the Haynes Copper Company in a similar capacity, will leave this morning for the camp of the latter company at Jerome. He says the main shaft of the Haynes is down 5SO feet. As soon as the shaft reaches the 700 | foot level crosseuts will be started.

SoUTHER YAVAPAI FEELS
 GRIP OF ICE KING

Unusually cold weather prevails in Congress Junction neighbOrhood and the southern districts of Yavapai county, according to the statement of Deputy Assessor E. W. Stephens, who recently returned from an official visit to the southern districts.
 Wool growers whose fiocks are lamb ing report heavy lamb losses owing to the unusual inclemency of the weath- CT.
 C. C. Hutchinson is among the heav- jest lamb losers. A large number of his lambs are reported to have perish ed Wednesday night from the severe cold.
 Sheep shearing is in progress at Congress Junction and Beardsley. Many sheep, heavy with lamb, are re ported to have died from exposure recent nights after being clipped.
 Feed on the desert pastures is not so good as usual at this season. The weather has temporarily stunted It's growth.
 Sheep owners report the lamb crVp fair but fear further heavy losses if the cold weather contiues.
 The wool clip is not 50 heavy as last year but of better quality. Prices range from IS cents to 21A cents on the eastern markets. The latter is the highest price quoted so far this season.
 It is generally conceded by sheep owners that the number of sheep on the Yavapai ranges this year is less than last year.
 The sheep are principally native and well bred, being of a higher grade on the average than last year. This is due to the fact that the number of sheep imported from Utah and New Mexico this year is less by thousands than last year.
 It is peculiar, but fact, that the weather in and around this city mas not been colder than usual thIs win ter, although the thermometer IS far below expectations in and around Congress Junction, the pastures of southern Yavapai and northern Mari copa counties.

CFrom Fridav,s DaiIyl

Apparently intent on burglary, one of the plate glass show windows of the mercantile establishment of D. Levy & Company was broken few minutes after o'clock yesterday morning. A number of pistols and shOtguns were on exhibition in the window. The window smashes escaped without securing any booty.
 Will Oliver, who was in the Ed Shu- mate establishment, heard the crash of the breaking glass. He thought the sound came from the breaking of one of the new windows in the Biles-Lock- hart Clothing Company's store.
 Oliver walked outside and before reaching the sidewalk man passed going north. He did not halt the man as he came from what he believed was the opposite direction of the sound of the breaking glass. After finding the windows in the Bile-LOekhart store in taee he found on further investigation that the D. Levy & Company's win dow was broken. The night officers were notified A close watch was kept on the store until daylight, but the burglar did not return.

B. A. M. MINE READY TO
 SHIP ITS FANCY ORE
CFrom Frfday's Daily)

One carload of ore on the dump ready for shipment and three carloads in sight and blocked out ready IOr stoping is the record made in the R. A. M. mine by c. J. MeNulty and one miner in two months and two weeks. McNulty arrived from the mine yes terday to purchase sacks to make the carload shipment and employ a pack train to pack the ore across the noun tains to Jersey Lily road, from where it will be hauled to the railroad here by wagon.
 Samples of the carload which will be shipped to the Needles smelter gave returns of two ounces in gold, ten ounces in silver and nine ounces lead.
 The shipment is the first made from the 15O-foot level of the mine where the other three carloads are ready TOT stoping. The length of the ore shoot has not been determined as the ore body is as large in the face of the drift as in any part opened.
 Several carloads of ore have been shipped to the Fl Paso and Pueblo smelters in the last ten years, while the property was being operated from time to time. The product, which was taken from shallow workings, netted handsome profits after mining, ship ping and shelter expenses and charges were deducted.
 McNulty also reports the discovery of very promising ore body in a eave-in and open cut recently. The ore shoot is five feet in thickness and carries good gold values, part being rich enough to ship to the shelter. He intends to develop the new find as soon as he makes the shipment of the ore on the dump and the ore blocked out in the 15O-foot level.
 The R. A. NJ. group, comprising four claims, is located in the Copper Creek section of the Hassayampa district, nine miles south of this city. The property was discovered by MeNulty fifteen years ago, after his arrival here from Colorado. After making several carload shipments he stoppeu work to devote his entire time to merchandising. Three months ago he disposed of his business interests iere and returned to the mine He is en- thusiastie over recent developments and intends to push the opening of the mine as fast as possible. It is one of the very few mining properties in the district that has paid all devel- opment expenses from the grass-roOts down.

He insisted that the wild beasts had chased him away from his discovery and that he was compelled to remain in the valley to escape a large grizzly intent upon devouring him.

 The Duffy anti-gambling law which the legislature passed this week De- came effective upon receiving the governors signature, and it will be in force as soon as certified copies are re- eeived by the district attorney and sheriff's offices. This law knocks out all forms of card games where money or its equivalent in value or merchan- disc are the stakes, and it also abol- ishes all slot machines. Violation of the law constitutes a misdemeanor and where the punishment is not spec flied in the act itself, the offense is punishable under the general law ap- plying to misdemeanors, which pro vides that a fine not to exceed S200 may be imposed, or six months Im- prisonment in the county jail, or both. Faro and other banking and percent age games which were abolished two years ago are embraced in a law which provides for maximum fine of 5000 for violation thereof.
