NEGRO FOUND GUILTY OF
CONSPIRACY TO MURDER
Jury After DeIiberation of Half an
Hour Decides That He Plotted
to Take Contractors
Life

PASADENA, Jan. 1S.-Thomas Smith, who
is charged with conspiracy to murder Alfred
Hutson a Pasadena contractor, the other party
to the conspiracy being alleged to be Hutson' s
wife, was placed on trial today and found
guilty, the jury being out only half an hour.
Letters found by Hutson among his wife's
belongings in which Smith complained that he
had not been paid all the money promised led
to the arrest which was effected in San Diego
December 81 by officer Kunzman.
Sentence was deferred for week, Smiths at
torneys having announced that they would
move for new trial.
Smith declared it was impossible for him to
have written the letters with which he was
charged since he could neither read nor write,
but this was contradicted by the evidence of
negroes who testified that they had seen him
write a letter in a pool room.
Both Smith and Hutson are negroes

Youths Believed Drowned

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. BIT is believed
that Harry Dople and Charles Smith, young
men of this city who started in a small boat
on a duck-hunting trip on the bay early this
morning have lost their lives owing to the
rough water stirred up by the strong wind
that has swept the harbor all day. The men
were last seen sheltering themselves behind
Shad rock which is located far out in the
entrance to the bay, with the waves throwing
their boat about in a perilous manner. The
police boat Patrol was out all night looking
for the pair but could find no sign of them 1t
is feared that they were carried out to sea.

CLIFTON PRODUCES
 CHEAPEST COPPER IN ARIZONA

CLIFTON, Feb. 9.--It seems to be
 generally understood among outsiders that the Clifton4Morenci mining dis tr;et is too slow for the investment of new capital, perhaps overlooking the
 fact that we are producing 7,OOO,OOO pounds of copper annually at as cheap and in many instances cheaper, than
 any of the copper district of not only Arizona. but the United States. Our copper deposits are found in larger bodies than in most of the other dhs- triets and though the grade IS lower, by this very fact we are insured of permanency, which is an item that should not be overlooked by the cap italist who invests his money for re- suits, and not for "roses" one year and "poverty" the next. There are dozens of mining claims in the Clifton Morenci district that are going beg ging for the capital that it will re- auire to develop them, which, if To- cated in some of our neighboring camps, would be under the control of companies with several millions of dol lars capitalization. When we succeed in convincing the conservative invest or that we are offering better proper ties at less money than any other min ing country, the n-Morenei dis trict is going to advance so fast that it will cause of neighbors to sit up and take notice. Never in the history of this camp has it been possible for any of the companies to work out a mine, Lut in reality they have found large bodies of ore from the very grass roots-increasing in size as depth is attained. The Shannon, Coronado, Longfellow; and in fact dozens of Oth- CT mines, have proven the above state ment to be nothing but cold facts, and any doubting Thomas can be eonvinc- ed by raking trip to this district and

tFrom wednesday's Daily)

G. W. Hull, president and general manager of the Cleopatra Copper Com pany, who arrived here last night from his home in Jerome, expects to have the Cleopatra shelter in operation be- tween the 1st and 10th of March.

ton of the debts, in which it was rep resented that the property had been purchased and that they were entitled to their shares in it. It is further charged that before the time for re demption of the property expired that a prospectus was issued by the direct ors, wno had organized the Tom Reed Mining Company to take over the properties.
 The Tom Reed is among the most promising gold mines in the entire west. It recently paid s45,OOO in divi- dends, although it is yet in an embryo stage of development. An offer of $500 ,OOO is said to have been refused recently for the mine and equipment.
 Several large shareholders in this city are interested in the result of the suit now in court.
 Another application for perma- nent injunction restraining the Tom Reed Mining Company from operating the property is under consideration by the sidetraeked shareholders of the Blue Ridge Mining and Milling Com pany.
 Attorneys R. E. Morrison and Reese NJ. Ling are associated with ex-Gox- ernor Thomas of Colorado for the Blue Ridge stockholders. Attorneys T. G. Norris and John Mason Ross rep resent the Tom Reed Mining Company.

investigating for himself. What this district should do is to organize and boost our wonderful copper resources and advantages.
 After years of struggling persever- enee te small companies seem about to "get show for their white alley" Heretofore the big copper companies have loomed so big in this district that anyone trying any other metal devel- opment must have resources in his pocket; but now capital is coming to the aid of the prospeetor in opening up vast region of mineral wealth. It is a fact that more than one hundred thousand dollars worth of ore has been shipped from Morenei in the years past; and all this ore was sim ply gouged out of surface veins. The sulphide zone was never reached. Our growing optimism is being daily con firmed by the steady progress of the New York-Arizona, whose history is a history of the whole district. DurIng the recent financial furry when many of the big companies had to halt and some of the smaller ones disband, the New York Arizona did not even ''mark time,'' but rather increased their pace. Now, with easier money, they are to "double quick" some to the music of Murphy air drills. The Lillian tunnel is now in about HOO feet and in about 150 feet more will have reached the objective point un- der the Buzzard Shadow shaft. When this is reached they will upraise 400 feet to the surface and sink at the same time on good bodies of milling ore. For the good of tne whole dis triet we hope that their fullest hopes may soon be realized for their success means much to us all. The manage ment of the New York-Arizona has al- ways extended a cordial invitation to all who cared to visit the mines at any time and make a personal inspection of their properties.
 The shannon Copper Company which mas recently acquired several mining prospects in the district, this week commenced development work on the claims of the Coronado Mining compa- ny, which property they are working on a royalty basis. The Shannon has already done considerable work on this property during the past three years, and as it is one of the best mineralized zones of this district, there is little doubt of a big strike be- ing made some time in the near flu ture.

DASHES HEALoNG INTO
 oN-RUsHING LOCOMOTIVE
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

From Thursdays Daily)
 In a head-end collision with freight train No. 33 on the s. F., P. 6 P. railroad near Cedar Glade yesterday morning at 1:15 o'clock an unidentified man was thrown from the track and almost immediately killed. He was carried into the eaboose immediately after the accident and died on his way here in ten minutes. Apparently it was a ease of suicide.
 An inquest was held over the re- mains yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the jury returning a verdict that the body was that of an "unknown man, about 45 years, that he met his death by being struck by an engine on the s. F., P. 6 P. railroad, while running towards it," and "that it was the in tent of deceased to commit suieide.'
 When the train reached a point 300 yards north of mile post 13, the ea- zine crew was startled by seeing man running towards the train in the cen ter of the track. The emergency brakes were applied. He was struck by the rapidly moving train, the pilot throw ing him from the track After the train was brought to a standstill the man was carried into the eaboose in an unconscious condition. He expired soon afterwards without uttering a words.
 The mans back, right leg and left arm were broken in the collision with the engine. His hands were bruised in the impact of his body with the rocks when thrown from the track.
 He evidently removed the saOes from his feet as the train approached. The engine crew noticed that he was running towards the train in his stock ings and examination after he was picked up showed that the soles of the stockings were not damp, although the ground was frozen. It also developed at the inquest that the toes of both feet were frozen so badly that the skin had fallen from them. His shoes were not found. No papers or other articles were found in his possession by which he could be identified His possessions eonisted of two haf-used bars of toilet soap, an old towel and three well-worn railroad time tables.
 The dress and general appearance of the body indicated that it was that of tramp.
 He was seen by train crews the last five days novering around the vicinity where he committed the rash act that ended his life.
 The man boarded the northbound passenger train at Meath Tuesday morning and after being asked his des- tination by the conductor said that he was going to the wood camp. He ap- peared under the influence of liquor He was asked for his ticket and re- piled that he had no money. The train was stopped and after he ahght- ed at mile post started south on the track in the direction of where he met his death.
 The remains are at the Rutfner un- dertaking establishment. They were still unidentified at a late hour last night.

GOV. KIBBEY SAYS
 STATEHOOD IS CERTAIN

PHOENIX. Feb. Ex-Governor Kib- bey returned Sunday morning from Washington, where he went couple of weeks ago on receipt of telegram from Chairman Hamilton of the house committee to bring in the statehood bill The governor feels confident of the passage of the bill this session. This confidence is shared by all other friends of the territories.
 All realize that the unexpected may happen but the chances are greatly against such a happening. This view of the case has been arrived at after taking itno consideration and dis counting every possible adverse intiu- ence.
 Said the governor, "I feel quite confident that the bill providing for separate statehood for New Mexico and Arizona will be passed by the congress and that by this time next year we will be under our own state government. Unless some unforeseen or unexpected event should intervene, the bill will pass, in my opinion, be- fore the 4th of March next. I have especial reasons for this belief"
 On the subject of his confirmation which, by the way, formed no part of his business in Washington, the gov ernor said in reply to question con corning it: "Some objections to my confirmation have been lodged with the senate committee on territories, which as not yet had a meeting this session. These objections have not operated to delay my confirmation and have not been considered. That will come in due time. I know generally, the nature of these objections and their source and I must be pardoned If I decline to become either excited or disturbed by them or by the delay in my confirmation.
 One of these objections has already been described in these eolmuns- It charges the governor with having, when a judge of the Second district, expunged an order made by him, se- verely censuring Francis J. Heney. This action was taken after consul tation with other members of the bench, who agreed with Judge Kfbbey that he had possibly been too severe , in his strietures and that the order might later be made to reflect unjustly upon MT. Heney.
 It is understood that another objec- tion, and so far as is known, the only other one, charges the governor with political partisanship.
 Regarding the problems which the legislature has presented in his ab- senee, the governor had nothing to of fer, but what he has to say will prob ably be said directly to that body.
