OXFORD EDUCATOR PASSED
 THROUGH THIS CITY.
CFrom Fridays oaIiy)


 Dr. George R. Parkin of London, England, passed through here yester- day en route from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon, and thence east via New Mexico and Colorado, sailing for home in the not distant future.
 Dr. Parkin is a representative of the seven trustees of the Rhodes scholarship fund through the good offices of which about 300 young men from all parts of the world are now being educated at Oxford university. He came to this country about two months ago, landing at Quebec, thence travelling through the eastern and southern and finally the gulf states, to the southwest. He will on this tour give the northwest the go- by, but expects to visit America again before long. The work of pr. Parkin is to confer with the au- thOrities in each state and terri tory, concerning the methods of select ing candidates for the Rhodes sehol- arships. In different states different methods are employed, according to local regulations governing the school system, or other local conditions that might affect the matter. It is desira- ble that the most promising candi- dates should be selected without re- gard to any other fact than personal eapability and worth, and there are various ways of sitting out the more likely students The local authori- ties understand their local eondi- tiOns, while Dr. Parkin can give them the benefit of his knowledge of re- quirements and conditions on the other side.
 Each state and territory is given a perpetual scholarship for three stu dents, after the machinery of the plan is in full operation. Arizona now has one, Clarence Spaulding, at Oxford, with three more candidates on the waiting list, two of whom will quite likely be given appointments within the next two years. The term is for three years, and as fast as one graduates another will take his place, but they are not all start ed at the same time.

REPORTS ACTIVE MINING.
CFrom Sundays Dany)

Representing for the time a bounty hide consignment that totals nearly 400 eareases of the skunk family, placed in his care, Judge P. S. Wren of Constellation reached the city yes terday. Monday he will deliver the goods to the supervisors and collect the money. He says that in the past few months mining has assumed a lively interest both in development and investment in that region. Many capitalists are going there and some sales will follow. Judge Wren con- firms the recent strike made in the Monte Cristo, and anticipates one of the most prosperous gold producing districts in the county around that center. Development is going on to great depth and the permaneney of the belt is established through that method of operating.

A VERDE PIONEER
 CALLED BY DEATH
From Sundays Daily)


 Word was brought to Prescott yes terday of the death of Riley Casner, one of the pioneer settlers of Yava- pi county and for many years a prosperous ranchman in the Verde Valley.
 Mir. Casner passed away at the home of Henry Lee in the Verde Valley on November 27. He was 67 years old.
 He enjoyed the distinction of being the first orchard planter in the fruit ful Verde Valley, which established its reputation to being the best fruit growing section in the entire terri tory by winning with its exhibits all of the blue ribbons given at the terri torial fair in Phoenix last fall for displays in the fruit line.
 More than a quarter of a century ago he realized the possibilities of the valley and planted an orchard. The trees thrived wonderfully and the first yield went even beyond his expectations. His example was fol lowed by others with the result that the Verde Valley is now literally GOV cred with orchards that annually yield thousands upon thousands of bushels of the choicest fruits. At the time of his death, MT. Casner was the owner of an orchard of 2O0O trees.
 He was a native of Iowa but came to Arizona in 1875. He was accom- panied by four brothers-John, Will liam, Dan and Moses. The mother also accompanied the party. They settled at Cottonwood on the old In dian ditch in 1877, but later moved into the Verde Valley, settling along Beaver creek.
 MT. Casner is survived by his wid- ow and 12 children. He was an ex- cellent citizen and his death is a distinct loss to the community in which he resided.

LUMBER COMPANY
 ORGANIZED AT FLAGSTAFF
The Coconino Sun says:

The Coconino Sun says:
 The Flagstaff Lumber Manufactur- ing Company is now a reality. The organization of that company was effected Monday and the following officers were elected by the direc- tors President and general manager, Ed. T. McGonigle; vice president and treasurer, John G. Verkamp; secre- tary, Jesse L. Boyce.
 The company was incorporated for $5OO,OOO and starts out with a splen- did future before it. MT. McGonigle has spent over twenty years of his life logging in the Northern Ari- zona woods and knows the business from the cutting of a tree in the woods to putting it in the yard ready for market. He always has been popular with men and there is not the slightest doubt but he will manage the new mill successfully.
 John G. Verkamp, the vice presi- dent and treasurer, is a young man of exceptional business ability and especially well fitted to handle the financial end of the big company.
 He is careful, conservative bus mess man, well known in Northern Arizona and highly esteemed by the people.
 Jesse L. Boyce, secretary, is eoun- ty recorder, serving his second term and aside from being a competent office man, has had considerable prac- tieal experience in numbering. He ranks high with the people of this section of the country.
 The mill will be equipped with a band saw, and will have a capacity of 100000 feet per day. Big re-saws of the latest pattern and a box fac tory will be directly connected with the plant All machinery and equip ment will be of the latest and best that can be secured.
 The exact location of the plant has not been decided upon owing Uo lack of yard room and switches. 4 location near the stock yards is now being considered.
 About 10 or 15 miles of logging road will be built as early in the spring as construction work can com mence. MT. MeGonigle will leave fol the east shortly to purchase the necessary machinery and equipment for the mill and work on the plant will begin as soon as the official. have definitely decided upon the most suitable location.

While in the city yesterday Terri torial Engineer Grand, in charge of the Arizona wagon road movement, made the agreeable statement that the route of the highway from Pres colt to Phoenix had been located.
 It follows the ridge on the easrerly side of Minnehaha Flat to a point where Silver Mountain is tapped, running down that slope on the east ern side. Thence it traverses the backbone of the divide between Hum- bug and French Creeks, going down the latter to the prairie and crossing the Agua Fria below the diversion dam and below the Relief mine, com ing out at Glendale. The maximum grade of this route is six, per cent, which meets with the approval of MT. Girand.
 After he arrives in Phoenix, MT. Girand says the next move of the surveying corps will be made from Roosevelt to Globe, a distance of nearly forty miles.
 After that work is finished it is his intention to come to Prescott, and from this city start the work to the north. He says the route south from Prescott to Minnehaha

TO START MINE WORK.
CFrom Sundays DaiIy1


 Andrew Curtin, the pioneer miner, who returns to the Bradshaws agaln after an absence of thirty years, to start work on the old Alta mine that he had patented in that distant day, yesterday perfected arrangements for the starting of a permanent camp at the mine, by placing a big order with the Clark & Adams Company for lum- Der for the building of several hOus- es. He will ship the same to that point tomorrow, and later in the week will go to the place to outline future development. Mir. Curtin belongs to the old school of mining operators, and notwithstanding that he has not followed the calling for nearly a third of a century, he holds his age remark ably well and is as vigorous physical " as in days agone, which his legion of Hassayampa friends will be pleas ed to learn.

FAILED TO SHOW UP.

For the second time in the tenure of the office, School Superintendent Jolly, who authorized some time, ago the holding of a quarterly examina- tion of school teachers, failed to have a single applicant answer to roll call yesterday. He attributes this unusual condition to the fact that schools are all filed with teach CTS, and the time is not an inviting one, as it is midway in the teaching term. MT. Jolly has been in the office he now holds for nine eonseeu- tive years, and ordinarily there has been a large number of applicants at each quarterly examination.

SCENIC. HIGHWAY
 ROUTE LOCATED
Line to be Followed For Territorial Road to be Built From Pres
 colt to Phoenix.
Rrom Sundays Daily

Flat has been definitely decided upon and it will probably not be deviated from.
 The commission will open bids on the Sth of this month for the building of a territorial bridge across the Gila at Florence, which is to be used for territorial roadway purposes.
 After the selection of a route to cross> the Verde river, proposals will also be asked for a bridge across that stream.
 MT. Girand says the movement is approved in all sections of the ter. ritory he has visited and general sentiment is that the sooner the big project gets into action the better will it be. The people at large are becoming educated to the good roads movement and he believes through the creation of the two highways, one running north and south and the oth- CT going east and west through the territory, thousands of tourists will annually visit the country.
 MT. Grand says that in a few weeks he will again come to this sec tion to start the work to the north and to personally reeonnoitre the country.

SATISFACTORY RUN FOR
 TEST ON UNION.

During the present week John S. Jones completed a seventyfour ton test run of ore from the Union mine in Chaparral that gave results of $S per ton in bullion and coneen- trates. The point selected in the mine was an eight foot vein, and the intention was to gain a definite idea of the value of the body at that point and without any asserting what ever. From the point where this immense body was mined, it is MT. Jones' intention to begin the explor- ation of the mine on an extensive plan in the future, and where rich shoots are exposed. Near the face of this work ore running to as high as $50 per ton was taken out and shipped, and the same conditions are again coming in.
 In other openings on this property enough development has been per formed in past years to guarantee the property as one of the most at- traetive in that field, and from which ore was milled that ran high in the free. The Union vein with the h. dependence, a parallel location. is rated as among the best in the eoun- ty, having many openings, and in each a splendid showing is made.
 Mir. Jones feels very much elated over the recent mill run, and it is his purpose to soon inaugurate a thorough method of development, and to treat the product as fast as it reaches the surface
 MT. Jones says that when he left his camp the report was in cireu- lation that Charley Ruffner had made a strike in the Little Jack mine, near McCabe, but the extent of the ore body and the value was not learn ed. It was, however, gratifying to know that the news was reliable. The Jack was started up but a few months ago, and a great amount of work of a preliminary nature was performed before actual mining work was inaugurated. MT. Ruffner is a practical miner, and is personally handling the development. He has maintained from the first to the last that the mine merited the expenditure of capital, and the verifcation of that belief is shown in what he is accomplishing and at depth.
 MT. Jones says that more activity is noticeable in that district this fall than in years, and in addition to the general work going on at the many camps, investors are running through the place in greater numbers than ever before, and he believed that sev- eral sales will soon follow as a conse- quence. Scores of claims are going through the usual assessment work era and the sound of exploding powder shows the interest claim owners are taking to comply with the law. The coming year he anticipates as a lively one, and the guarantee that the Humboldt smelter is to start up early in the spring gives that district par ticularly a fine future, all mines there being within five miles of the plant, with a down hill pull for their pro- duet.
 MT. Jones returns to his camp to- morrow, and will continue work on the Union and Independence veins.

BUSINESS BAROMETER.

The lumber houses of the Clark & Adams Company and the A. J. Head Company say that in the past month there has been a decidedly increasing business in their lines, and in that time more building material has left their yards than in the past two years in the same length of time. The bulk of these orders has been delivered to mining camps, new as well as old enterprises, and is an in- dication that slowly but surely is the mining industry assuming a favor able consideration and in all districts. Orders to be filled by the above firms are also heavy and are of a character that show a substantial re- gard in the structures to be erected
