tate showed some startling financial conditions attached to the estate Cash deposit checks aggregating $5,000 were shown to be in China banks, while a certificate of deposit in a defunet financial concern known as the California Safe Deposit and Trust company of San Francisco, gave an additional $2,553.S2. With these showings the only funds were in the sum of $350, covering some personal effects. His entire wealth reached over $s,OOO. This sum he aeeumu- lated in a few years.
 The accumulation of this handsome sum of money IS but one of many thousands that can De traced direct ly to hundreds of aliens of this par tieular type, and the disposition of it shows the cunning of the willy Chi nese to accumulate as much as pos sible and with the money get out of the country. It seems that the pub lieity of this transaction should serve as a warning to the people generally. The incessant draining of our fnan- eial resources and the lowering of American manhood in labor channels is only too plainly reflected in this instance. The same practice prevails among other heather residents, and if the truth were known the aggre- gate sum that is leaving this sec tion, together with that already lost, will run into the hundreds of thous- ands of dollars. This Chinaman was of no benefit whatever to the stabil- ity or the progress of the country. He had no real property and did not desire any. It is true there are some who are investors, but they are few, indeed.
 Other matters disposed of by Judge Hicks was the appointment of J. C.. Bradbury as the administrator of the estate of the late E. P. Birmingham, insane, who died a few weeks ago in Phoenix. MT.

DEED FUR PIONEER HOME HERE IS
 RENDERED
Will Be Turned Over To Board of Control
 At Phoenix
(Frem Saturdays Daily)

Yesterday afternoon crystalized the final act in the creation of the Pioneer home for the Hassayampers of Arizona. Major Doran rendered to Governor Sloan the deed for the tract, bearing the signature of the donor, Frank NJ. Murphy, the doeu- ment being received yesterday.
 Governor Sloan will submit the in strument to the board of control at Phoenix, of which he is the chair man, and the same will be filed of feially. Action will then probably be had by this board and the site will be approved.
 This action is opportune. Early lnext month the territorial board of equalization will be in session, and at that time an estimate of the general public needs of the territory for the ensuing year will be made. The pioneer home will be among the in stitutions considered. A levy will cover the amount of the appropriation made by the last legislature, and with that the work of submitting plans will be asked. These plans are to be competitive under the legislative act that authorizes the erection of the building.
 In speaking of the home and the site on which it is to rest, Governor Sloan is an enthusiast over the ques- tion of caring for the pioneer. He says that this principle should long ago have been inaugurated, believing that the men who are to occupy it de- serve not only the gratitude of the people, but that their physical wei fare should be whOlesomeIy regarded by every citizen within the borders of the territory. 'There are only a few of the old boys left" says the governor, "and as they come down the track on the homestreteh and as they pass under the wire, the race they have run should be attended at the outcome with every consideration within the power of the living to give'
 Architect Elliott of this city is at present working on plans for the home, and they will be among the first to reach the board of control From southern Arizona come similar reports, and it is estimated that a dozen set at least will be received. Work on the structure will be com meneed some time this fall, and the building will be rushed to completion, it being the aim of Major Doran, the superintendent, to get the Hassayam- pers under its roof as soon as it is possible to do so.

SPEND \ MILLION IN TRIPS ID
 COAST
Banker Gives Startling Estimate of Cost
 To Arizona
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

What one section of Arizona annu- ally spends in money through its resi- dents going to Pacific coast points. in the summer season, was casually mentioned the other day by a Phoe- nix banker, which gives some idea of the sum of money expended in pleasure hunting. This gentleman said that since the first of June his bank ing house had been drawn upon week ly for the sum of $1OO,OOO, that rep resenting several hundred individuals, all of whom had left that section, the majority going to southern Cali fornia for the summer months. What the other banks had been drawn upon for he was unable to state, but it was as equally heavy, if not more than the above sum. In estimating the aggregate sum the Salt River val ley expended annually for this seem ing pleasure to escape the heat of one place to go to the same climate of another, an estimate of $1,0O0,000 were his figures. This sum he gave as a minimum.
 This same gentleman said that the climate of northern Arizona was far more preferable to him than at any place along the coast, and he could not account for the persistence of pleasure seekers for this one article by going to a section that was not blessed with ti, such as seems to be epidemic among such a large element as is noticed this year, especially.
 His only argument of a coast he gira is that the ocean resorts are the indueement. This he classes as de fusion. Backing up that assertion, he asserts that on the very bring of the sea the weather was at times intOlerably warm, for a greater DOT tion of the day, and the sunshine was as radiant with heat as that of the Salt River valley.
 This gentleman believes that greater portion of this money should be kept at home, and by following out this principle it would only be a few years until the people who per sist in jumping out of the territory would receive more physical comfort by supporting and maintaining home attractions of an ideal nature, and which are capable of being created within the territory at many points, and especially so in northern Ari- zona.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

The value of advertising, and par tieularly of advertising in the Jour nalMiner, was never more remark ably demonstrated than by an incl dent last night, according to the ex pressed opinion of all those who hap pened to be fortunate enough to know of it.
 A manly little fellow of about ten called at the Journal Miner office and inserted a want ad. It read:
 FTaken up-One burrO; black streak down back; short hair; gray color; branded F."
 The little fellow paid fifty cents for inserting the ad three times.
 Five minutes later he returned and asked that the ad be killed.

This bail he was un- able to furnish and went to jail. Sev- eral Chinamen swore that the motive was to destroy the business of a neighbor who occupied an adjoining room, together with threats previously made. In addition to that the odor of the room immediately after it was entered was decidedly of a kerosene nature.

F. railway companies. This case occupied the time of the court the remainder of the day, and upon adjournment was under consid- eration. It will probably be con eluded this morning. The plaintiffs are suing the railroad companies for the sum of $9S0, said to be due for the loss in handling a shipment of sheep to eastern markets. This trial las taken up four days, and has been one of the most ably contested trials ever to take place in this district.

CHAS. HONG MUST RETURN ID
 CHINA
Deportation of Jerome Merchant Is
 Ordered
From Saturdays Daily3


 It will be learned with general re gret that Charley Hong, a Chinese merchant and land owner of thi. county, residing in Jerome, must go to China. His deportation is order ed from Washington. This case is due to a technical construction of the Chinese exclusion laws.
 Leading up to this judicial action, it will be remembered that this China. man, some two years ago, was called to his country on an important busi ness mission. He was in southern Arizona at the time, and left the United States via Nogsles, a port of entry. On returning a few months later he entered the territory at the same place. His mistake was made in not returning through a regist- cred port for that class of aliens, Portland and San Francisco being the only ones designated on this coast His arrest followed, and pending the final disposition of the question months have passed without any e& fort being made to deport him. This delay was made to permit him to set tie up his business affairs before the execution of the order.
 Yesterday, Judge Moore, the United States commissioner of this district, made the order, and the only redress Hong has is to go to the United Staes court. In this he will probably find relief.
 Attending the final disposition of this mans freedom, there are phases of his past residence which give him an excellent rating. He has been in this section of Arizona for over twenty-five years, and during that time he has been an investor in land and a merchant.
 He is said to be the owner of farming land on the Verde, and a real estate owner in the town of Jerome, having constructed good buildings on his lots. He also carries merchandise and conducts boarding houses of three different mining camps. In all public celebrations he has contributed money toward their observance, while in the line of extending pecuniary assistance to American friends his reputation is one of generosity in many instances.
 Hong is known to almost everyone in this section. His deportation will be followed by feelings of regret, possessing as he does sincere regard for the interests of his adopted land, and of which he became identified in many material channels of genuine citizenship.
 Another deportation case was also considered by Judge Moore, that of Gee Wing. He was arrested in this city recently by Chinese Inspector Wm. W. Thiess of Tucson. He says he will appeal his ease to the UniteS States court, now in session in this city. He was smuggled in through Mexican territory, being one of many who reached Arizona in this man ner. There are said ot be over twen ty-fve Chinamen in this section Of Arizona who have been rushed over the line of Mexico in the past few years.
 MT. Thiess is accompanied to the city by a Chinese interpreter named Lee Park Linn, who is stationed at Tucson, and is employed especially for the purpose of gaining inside facts from those who are arrested in violation of the exclusion laws.

deavored to give the flames the greatest possible range before they were discovered.
 Feeling still runs high among the Chinese over the matter Many say that the man should be seriously dealt with, as this occurrence is the first of its kind in many years where a countryman has figured in such a transaction. At the time of his ar rest they endeavored to reach him, and were only prevented from injur- ing him by the vigilance of Officer MeMahon, who rushed him to the county jail. A tong war may pos sibly result as the elimination of this discussion, several Chinamen be- ing friendly to him.

Way to Travel.

PARIS. Dec. n.-Thc rNa~-N~- ~ D"~"-
ties today passed the tariff bill by a vote
OF S65 to ~ after a p]rotracted discussion.
This represents a victory for the high pro-
tcctionists and the tariff commission,
which practically had it's own way. The
government has hvlo d..ol ..4- ..u-
shown its hand except to interv enc for tHe
modification Of some schedules which were
inevitably bound to menace Frances for
eign trade relations. Nevertheless. Il Is
expected that The government win step In
at the final moment and offer a c%oncilia-
tory proposition, as the bill still has a long
road to travel. II must yet pass the sen
ate and the differences between the two
houses must be reconciled.
Although the enaoting clause puts the
new tariff in force on March 81, 1910. IT Is
considered that the bill will not likely be
adopted until later in the year. M. Klotz,
chairman Of the commission, in his closing
speech assured the hambe that the bill
was designed only TO protect ths +ni'erests
OF France and was in no way aimed at
any foreign country. HI urges the lnser-
ton of an arbitration clause IN future com

government again bring forward at The
