REDDICK IS GIVEN
 POSITION UNDER OVERLOOK

A special telegram to the Phoenix Gazette from Tucson contains the following important news:
 "United States Marshal Overlook has appointed as his Phoenix deputy Bernard Anderson, thus settling the much mOoted question of whom the marshal $ final choice would be. It has been known that many of Mir. Anderson $ friends have been urging his appointment to the post in Phoe- ink, which is regarded as possibly the most important of the territory out side of Tucson. Other appointments made by the marshal were those of ! J. Reddick, deputy at Prescott, and C. l.. Fowler, deputy at Yuma. The appointment of Reddiek gives Prescott a deputy United States mar shal for the first time in the his tory of the town''
 The Phoenieian wnO received the federal plum is none other than '' Bush" Anderson, who for many years was a resident of Prescott.
 The appointment of MT. Reddick is one that should be agreeably received by all in this section of Arizona The position came to him unsolicited, and Marshal Overlook had in view evi- dently man as to his qualifications when he selected the Prescott towns man. MT. Reddick is fortified be- hind many years of official life to guide him in his new office. He has been a deputy recorder of this eoun- ty, deputy sheriff under the Joe Roberts administration and is a dep uty' sheriff at the present time un- der Sheriff Smith. In addition to official life he has at all times been prominently identified with public matters in one way and another. He was president of the Humboldt Smel termen's union and was a member of a California regiment during the war with Spain. He is still in the mill tary service, member of Company F of the national guard of this city.
 MT. Reddiek qualified yesterday af- ternoon before United States Commis sioner Moore and has entered upon his duties for this district.

WHIPPLE MAY GET SEW
 ERAL NEW BUILDINGS
From Thursdays Daily)


 Major General J. Franklin Bell, with his aide de camp, Captain Sla- den, passed through Prescott yester- day afternoon, returning from south ern Arizona, where he inspected the diversion dam on Salt . River near Phoenix, that forms part of the Roose- welt storage system of water supply for that region. He says that he was agreeably impressed with the pro- ject as well as with the section to be reclaimed.
 In speaking of military matters that affect Whipple barracks, he stat ed that he would probably reeOm- mend the erection of several new buildings immediately at the post, in order that the incoming troops would have every facility for accommoda- ton. These buildings will not be covered by an appropriation, but that the funds of the war department will be aavilable for the pnrpOse and will come from a fund set aside specifical- ly for that purpose.
 General Bell expressed his pleasure at coming to this section and be- ieved that Whipple barracks in a few years would be a military center of prominence The climatic eondi- tions existing were conducive to the creation of large military center and the site of the post was all that could be desired. He will visit mili- tary posts in New Mexico and Texas, and goes to the gulf to inspect for tificatiOns, returning to his station at Washington in a few weeks. Gen eral Bell is the last of the long list of Civil war heroes to reach the rank that he has, and after his retirement in few years hence. the officer who succeeds him will come of a later day in military service. From his Civil war days to the present time General Bell has record without a blemish, and as a courageous man, has few equals. Personally he is affable, and to all in this section whom he has met he has eemented a strong tie. of friendship that will follow him wherever he goes or whatever he does.

CROWN KING MINE IS
 SOLD BY RECEIVER
lFrom Thursdays paIly)

Yesterday after nearly eighteen years of litigation the famous Crown King mine in the Bradshaws was sold at receivers sale. the purchasing party being the Yavapai Consolidated Gold, Silver and Copper company.
 The price received for the prop erty totals $75.OOO of which $37 800 was paid in cash and the balance of like amount is taken in stock. The purchasing syndicate is represented by F. M. Murphy, the president of the corporation.
 The final disposition of this matter followed the action of the circuit court of Christian county, Illinois. The sale was conducted in this city by Receiver B. A. Turner. M. F.. Gallagher, attorney for the stoekhOld- CTS, was present at the sale.
 Eighteen claims under ownership of the Crown King Mining company are transferred with all milling equip ment included.
 The property sold has produced ap- proximately $2,OOO,OOO. For five years it was worked under the superintend- ency of Messrs. Harrington and Shekels, the yield being $l,000,000 gross. Dividends aggregating S244,- 500 were paid by them.
 During the period when the prop erty was producing the heaviest, ne gotiatiOns at different times were made to effect a sale, but in this the internal strife prevailing between O. F. Place on one hand and against Harrington and Shekels, blocked the efforts of any transfer being effected. from one court to the other the differences of the principals were liti- gated, and strange as it may seem, the three men at the close of the long era of litigation, were practically dis possessed of their interests and at yesterdays sale neither received a dollar.
 In 1899 the richest free gold ore ever uncovered in any mine in Ari- zona was to the credit of this prop erty. In value it went to SS0,00O per ton, and the strike was made on the 5OO-foot level.
 The intention of the new purchas- CTS is to start the work of exploita- tion at once This will be under the direction of O. Longaere, Jr., and the initial demonstration will be centered in the long tunnel that runs on the vein for a distance of about 2,300 feet. After this work is finished, the unwatering of the 50O-foot shaft will begin, and the vein system explored from that depth.

REFUSES APPLICATION.
(From Thursday,s Daily

Yesterday in the probate court Judge Hicks rendered his decision in the matter of the application of Alba A. Smith to be appointed admins tratOr of the estate of the late Eliza beth Vincent, refusing the granting of the application. This case came up to be heard on August 20th, and was set for final hearing yesterday.

The attorneys for the petitioner after this decision gave no- tice of appeal in open court and the district court will have the final de termination of the matter
 Mir. Smith, who sought to be ap- pointed administrator of the estate, is a son of the deceased by a former marriage.

'PEARY FOUND ONE;
 COOK FOUND OTHER

Major General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff of the United States army, who passed through Prescott Wednesday night, has hit upon happy solution of the Cook-Peary con troversy, which is just at the present time shaking scientific circles and in eidentally affording much uneOneealed amusement to the plebian public which is not up on the fine points of palarisms.
 General Bell intimates in unmistak- able language that there are two poles. One was discovered by Lieu tenant Peary and the other by Dr. Cook. All of which should result in Peary being peevish no longer and in Dr. Cook continuing cheerful.
 The pole interview with General Bell was given to the Phoenix Re publican, whose account of the same is as follows:
 Reporter: "General, the people of Arizona would like to know who dis covered the North polel'
 Major General J. Franklin Bell (af- ter mature thought): ''There are two poles. Peary got one and Cook found the other. Let us suppose that two men start out from different parts of the globe with the intention of reaching that spot where their in struments will record 90 degrees of latitude and no longitude. Let us take into account the personal equa tion of the two men; the inaeeuraey of the instruments used; the fact that the observations are made under the most trying circumstances and after a journey unparalleled for hardships anywhere else on the globe, and what is the result Undoubtedly, the cal eulations of both men under the cir eumstances led them to believe they stood on top of the earth; that they both stood on the same spot is hardly believable. Hence, l deduee two pOles.'

the cultivation of the soil will ac- eordingly be attended with the best of sanitary conditions from one end to the other of the 600-acre tract.
 From a financial standpoint the coming of the Harveys to this sec tion is a matter of the greatest i'm port. Aside from the fact that a force of from 30 to 90 men will be maintained at the farm, the eonstrue- tion of buildings involving an ex- pense of from forty to fifty thousand dollars will be outlayed. The animals they will utilize will run in value to several thousands of dollars more, all of which added to the tax roll of the county will strengthen and materially add to the stability of the county in a pecuniary sense.
 4ne reclamation of this strip is likewise an agreeable fact to antici- pate and the bringing of it into the zone of cultivation and production will be a ereditable reflection of the resources of this section in landed possibilities. From an industrial standpoint. the entire project is at- tended with prominence and progress sivc regard.
 Mayor Goldwater and his municipal colleagues. are to be commended and congratulated for making the project feasible.

ARGUMENT IS MADE WAL
 KER ELECTION IS ILLEGAL
CFrom Fridays Dany)

Official friction attended the meet ing of the board of supervisors yes terday when the question came before them tc canvass the votes of the re cent local option elections at Wal ker and Kirkland. The wedge that entered the controversy was due to the raising of the time limit that the law specifics shall be observed in elections on prohibition matters It seems that official sanction to hold the Walker election was authorized on August 20th by the board and the date set for the election was for September 4th.
 The statutes specify that fifteen days must elapse before the election could take place, and here is where the matter is receiving the attention of thh legal element. the ''wetsn claiming that this specified time in the staute books has not been observ- ed. while the "dry" advocates main tain that the law has been complied with. and the votes should according ly be eanvassed by the board and the result legally announced.
 The district attorney states that the fifteen days required have been full filled, and cites certain reports from the Texas statutes to warrant this assertion, and in the stand he takes Chairman Harrington aequiesees- SOn the other hand Supervisors Smith and Stewart, with Reese H. Ling, the at torney for the "wets," are OutspOken in their statement that the fifteen day dead line can not be legally established.
 The legal notices calling for the holding of the election they say, were not posted until after 6 o'clock on August 2Oth at Walker, and taking that time and the following days that passed until the day of the election, on the 4th of September, the legal fifteen days had not arrived, in the meaning of the statutes.
 The board of supervisors yesterday passed further consideration of the eanvassing of the Walker vote over until October 4th. The vote that was ordered to the effect was carried by Messrs Smith and Stewart voting in favor of this action, while Chairman Harrington opposed it.
 It is said that after a decision is rendered by the board in announcing the canvass. the matter will probably be taken to the district court for final adjudication. Walker voted over whelmingly for prohibition. Kirkland did likewise. However, Kirkland is not included in the controversy, hay ing qualified legally in holding its election, authority from the board hay ing been ordered two days prior to that of the Walker election.
