MURPHY LANDS JOB AS
 IMMIGRATION CHIEF

TUCSON, Sept. 11.-Ranking only as an inspector when he left this city a little more than a month ago for a sojourn on the coast, J. J. Murphy returned yesterday with the announce ment that he has been promoted to the office of inspector in charge of this district in the immigration ser vice. MT. Murphy and family have been at Long Beach, Cal, for more than a month past, and it was during the vacation trip that he received the appointment.
 Mir. Murphy succeeds George Webb in the position. MT. Webb was transferred from this city about tnree months ago to California, where he remains in the service of the depart ment of commerce and labor. Since MT, Webb's departure, MT. Murphy has been acting inspector in charge
 The appointment of MT. Murphy to this office has created no surprise among government officials here. It was rumored at the time Webb s transfer was announced that Murphy would succeed him, but affairs with the government move slowly but de- liberately and as result his appoint ment was not forthcoming until a few days ago.
 Those who have been associated with Mr. Murphy in his work in the southwest state that he has earned the promotion through valiant service to the department. He has been in the immigration service for six years and before coming to Tucson was stationed at points along the bor- der. During these six years of ser vice his record has been excellent, especially in carrying out the stipula- tions of the Chinese exclusion law.
 The news of his appointment is re- ceived by those in the service in Arizona with general feeling of satisfaction as it is known that he is not only capable, but is deserving of the position.

DECISION IS GIVEN
 .. IN BIG. MINE ACTON
CFrorn Sundays Daily)

A decision handed down yesterday morning by Judge Campbell in the district court in the ease in Tucson of Paine Weber & Co. against the Cop per-Belle Mining Co.,, and James B. Riley, interventor, which gained ad- ded prominence when Riley filed a motion as interventor after the min ing company failed to make a de- fense, awarded Riley judgment. The case is one of long standing and Ow- ing to the amount involved, is con sidered of more than ordinary sig nifcanee. It was brought for the collection of $265,10O on a promissory note of the Copper Belle to HuOt, Moneuse Co. At maturity, the copper company failed to make de fense and James B. Riley, stock holder, intervened, setting up the defense as a ldrE Of consideration. He also alleged fraud and deception on the part of the plaintiff in the transaction.
 The history of the ease recites that early in the life of the company, the necessary funds for is opera ton played out and Noneuse, then a director in the company. advanced S4O,0O0 to relieve T mortgage and to pay the Ope -atins expenses of the company for aree ..edrs. In con sideration, he became pOssessOr of 100000 shares of tle stock. which gave him control of the company. He subsequently, eontended that the money was a loan and got judgment. The property was ordered sold, sub feet to the right of redemption. It was redeemed by Riley and MOneuse and others refused to allow the re- demption.
 He then, as controlling stOekhOlder, made out a promissory note to him self and later transferred it to HuOt- Moneuse & Co. It was subsequently, assigned to the plaintiff, Paine Weber & Co.,, of Boston. Yesterday a deeis- ion was reached in favor of the in tervenor, which substantiates the claim of fraud and bad faith.

COL. w. c. GREENE
 RETURNS TO TERRITORY

F DOUGLAS, Sept 7-(speeial)- Col. ". c. Greene passed through Dougles Tuesday on his return to his home in Cananea from a business looking much better than he was year ago and is viewing the bus mess world with much less appre- hension than many others who got caught in the great. financial slump of two years ago.
 Asked about the enterprises he pro noted in the state of Chihuahua he stated that they were all in fair way now to be pushed to success as he originally planned them. The new owners, who are taking over the enterprises through the agency of Dr. Pearson have already put one thousand men to work on the railroads projected in connection with the lum- Der and mining enterprises of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber Com pany. He regards these enterprises as capable of giving millions of profit during the next few years after they have been set in operation.
 It will be remembered that one of the projected enterprises of Colonel Greene was the line of railroad along the northern border of the states of Chihuahua and Sonora for (which, he secured a concession from the Mexi- can government. This line of rail road was practically the same as that now being handled by the Cananea Consolidated Copper Company which has concession extending from I'm urls to a connection with the Mexican Central railroad south of Fl PasO. Col Greene expressed confidence in the success of this enterprise.
 Asked about the condition of the cattle industry in which he is heav- fly interested both in Mexico and in this country, Col. Greene declared that it is in good condition, as result of abundant rains and that the cattle owners could have no complaints to offer.

TRYING TO REGAIN
 GOLD FROM BEACHES
From snnday's paIlyl

Another attempt at saving gold from the black sand of the beaches is to be made in California. This time the effort is to be made on the beach sands of the Big Lagoon on the ocean shore in Humboldt county. The tract on which the sand occurs is owned by Robert D. Johnson, and has been leased by him to C. W. Fox of San Francisco and associates, says the Engineering and Mining Jour- nal. The exact process to be used has not been described, but it is understood that the sands are to be concentrated before washing them for gold. Gold was discovered at this place as long ago as 1851, and ever since that time more or less work has been done trying to make the sands profitable. Numerous gold saving machines have been installed and operated on the lagoon, which is a lake of braekish water about three and half miles long by two miles wide, separated from the ocean by a sandbar.
 Unlike most of the beach sands of the California coast, there is very little iron sand in this vicinity. There is, however, a large amount of low grade auriferous sand, but the gold in it is very finely divided and difficult to have. It remains to be seen whether the present attempt will be more successful than it's prede cessors.
 This black sand mining has always been attractive. to men of little ex- perienee in mining affairs or mining machinery. All sorts of experimental machines have been tried on the beaches along the Pacific in Califor- nia, but generally with indifferent success. Speaking generally, there is no profit in the business. At eer- tain times of the year, after storms have caused the waves to effect a rough concentration of fhe sand, day wages may be made at the work, but at other times the beaches will not even pay "Chinese wages. " Where the attempt has been made to work on a large scale, failure ,has been the usual result. Probably the Big LagOOn-at any rate, the Hum boldt county beaches-has been the scene of more experiments in this direction than any other place in Cal ifOrnia.

 That Arizona can not only raise fruit but that it can produce fruit which it challenges any of the other states or territories to equal, is the claim that is confidently advanced since John Duke, John Bianeoni and NJ. J. Hickey have returned from the Duke -Bianeoni ranch located on the way to Granite Dells.
 They brought back with them three apples of the Ben Davis variety whih weighed respectiely g, 9 and r ounces.
 To make good the claim that ap- pies of this size can be grown in this county, the apples have been placed on exhibition at the St. Michael. The largest of the apples measures eleven inches in circumference.
 Messrs. Duke, Bianconi and Hickey are planning to send the apples back to one of the big Missouri fairs to be entered in competitive contest with the product from the "Show Me- state, which claims to hold the worlds record for apples.

To WED MAN THAT
 SHE HAS NEVER SEEN
CFrom Sundays Daily)

Crown King in the Bradshaw noun tains in few days will probably be the scene of pretty marriage, and incidentally the termination of one of the most novel and romantic cOurtships that has taken place in this section in many years.
 The principals to this matrimonial event to be are John Benny, in busi- ness at the old Tiger mine, and Miss Louisa Candid, of Toreno, Italy. The latter reached Prescott on yesterday mornings train, coming from her home in that foreign land and in a pleasant manner to her friends stated why she had come so far and alone to marry the man that was selected as her com panion in the Journey through life hereafter. She is a fascinating young woman. She is endowed with that beauty that the young women of southern Italy are noted for and to grace her personality she is accom- plished in the art of music and is vivacious in her manners.
 She says the trip was one long and anxious journey, and when she learned that no train was to leave the city Sunday for the Bradshaw country, she seemed disappointed. When asked about her affianced, she smiled and informed her friends that she had never met him but produced the photo and then stated how the matchmaker worked and gave the source of the marriage that is to be celebrated.
 Mir. Benny's associates in business at the Tiger here came into the play and with him was his wife, the lat ter being the source through which the two plighted their troth. Miss Candid is a friend of this woman and believes implicitly in her, saying that she will wed the man and with little chuckle in her voice believed that he would likewise obey the wish of his partners wife. Preparations are already under way to have a fit. 1 ting celebration in this wedlock trans action and it promises to be the greatest social event of the Brad shaws during the year.

 Forever and ever and aye; And dear is the land where the

 And maketh all seasons a heavenly day, Down Arizona Way. And no matter whether I live or die
 Where body may wander or bones

CRIMINAL TO SEND POOR
 HEALTH SEEKERS WEST
From Sundays Daily)

been made by the people of Arizona against he practice of many eastern physicians who treat tubercular pa tients until theIr money IS practically gone and then send them to this ter ritory to become public charges. The National AssoeiatiO nfor the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has now taken up the matter, according to the following article from the To- ,ledo (Ohio) Blade of September 3:
 "Cruel and inhuman practices are alleged in a statement given out yes terday by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu- berculosis against he eastern doetods who persist in sending dying cases of consumption to the southwest.
 "Fully 7,1SO persons hopelessly dis eased with tuberculosis annually come to die in the states of California, Ari zona, New Mexico, Texas and Colo rado, most of them by order of their physicians. The statement, which is based upon the testimony of well known experts, and all available sta tistics, shows that at least 50 per cent of those who go to the southwest every year for their health are so far advanced in their disease that they cannot hope for a cure in any eli mate, under any circumstances. More than this, at least 60 per cent of these advances cases are so poor that they have not sufficient means to provide for the proper necessities of life, which Deans that 4,315 consumptives are either started to death or forced to accept charitable relief every year.
 Ut is not an uncommon thing, the association declares, for whole fam flies who can hardly eke out a living in the east to migrate to the west in the hope of saving the life of some member of the family. In most in- stances the abjeet poverty of such cases forces them to beg or to live on a very low level. Often eOnsump- tives who cannot afford the proper travelling accommodations are found dead on the trains before reaching their destination. The resources of almost every charitable organization in the southwest are drained every year to care for cases which would be self-supporting in their eastern homes.
 "It costs on an average at least $50 per month for the support of a consumptive in the southwest, inelud- ing some medical attention. The na tiOnal association strongly urges no one to go to this section who has not sufficient funds to care for himself at least one year, in addition to what his family might require of him during this time. It is also urged that no persons who are far advanced with tuberculosis go to so distant a eli mate.
 Consumption can be cured, or ar rested in any section of the United States, and the percentage of course in the east and the west is nearly the same. Any physician, therefore, who sends a person to the southwest with out sufficient funds or in an advanced or dying stage of the disease, is guilty of cruelty to his patient. Renewed efforts are being made to stop this practice, and to encourage the build ing of small local hospitals in every city and town of the country. At tempts are also being made in south ern California and in Texas to ex- elude indigent cOnsumptives or to send them back to the east
