COUNTY WINS IN THE
 NOTED HIDE CASE
prom Wednesdays Dany5

In the district court yesterday the celebrated hide bounty case of Peters brothers was disposed of, Judge Doe rendering verdict in favor of the county. Last November these people brought to the board of supervisors the hides of twenty ami mals, asking the payment of bounty on the lobo wolf basis. An exam ination of the hides led to a dispute as to the character of the fleece, the board stating they were the cover ings of the coyote. A suit was filed by the Peters, and after hanging fire for over seven months, it was finally decided as above, yesterday.
 The expert evidence given was voluminous, and after the wolf and the coyote had been dissected from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, the audience was wiser of the characteristics of the four-footed beasts in every respect, with the ex- ception of the tone of the bark each was capable of uttering. Whether it was a deep basso or a high tenor the audience was left in gloomy darkness. Otherwise it was perfect piece of taxidermy. Contrasted with the coy ote hides in evidence were four lObO wolf skins, all being Haunted in evi- denee. The Peters brothers were on the stand for their side, supported by H. L. Fletcher and Joe Hobbs. The county had B. H. Smith of the board of supervisors, J. H. Robinson, formerly a clerk of the same body, an authority on the skin question, and J. A. Bozarth, P. c. Wilder, J. w. Stewart of the present board, and Orville Bozarth.
 In the case of the Hite Gold Min ing company, R. J. Rice and Ed De vanney against F. X. o'Brien, judg- ment for defendant was given.
 In the cause of W. H. Otterson versus the Arizona Power company, a new trial was denied, and notice of appeal given.
 In the case of Ross 6 O'Sullivan versus the Unida Gold Mining com pany, judgment for plaintiffs was given. This suit was instituted for the collection of attorneys fees.

SIGNIFICANT MOVE
 AT FORT WHIPPLE
cFrom Wednesdays Daily,


 That Fort Whipple has been de- cided upon by the war department as the headquarters of the Eighteenth regiment of infantry, is now gener- ally believed to be a fact. A few days ago, MT. Butts, the civilian who purchased the old hospital for nOm- inal sum at the recent auction of old and unused structures, received noti- ication that it was the desire of the government to rent the same from him at a small sum per month, and asking him not to demolish it. The request was also followed with the further information that if the buiLl ing was occupied a rental of $50 per month would be rendered him.
 This would signify that the band will undoubtedly come with the four companies of infantry, and it was the purpose of the war department to provide them with suitable accom- modations, and such as the old hos pital are capable of furnishing. The barracks at this post will accommo- date four full companies, and it is said to be contrary to the military custom to merge the band with the line, and which will be adhered to in this instance
 This request is believed to be tSe result of selecting Fort Whipple as the headquarters of the regiment, the custom being to station the band with the colonel of the regiment, the band also accompanying any battalion that is selected for this rank in the ser vice
 Nothing official to this end has been received at Whipple, but if the recent request is any indication of the forerunner of events, in that line, this move is certainly indicative of the post being in line for especial consideration in this respect.
 Four companies of infantry are or dered to take station at the above post, as soon as they arrive in the United States from the Philippines. They are expected in San Francisco in September or October, and the battalion to take station at Whipple will come direct.
 All the old and condemned houses at Whipple have been torn down and removed, with the exception of the hospital. This was to go also this week, until the order reached the post to save it. It is the best pre- served of any of the old landmarks, being used until few weeks ago. It is cOmmodious and well adapted for band quarters. It is not, how ever, capable of housing any more men than are enlisted in the band. It is the belief that it is to be util- ized for the band, in the absence of any other necessity.

Leaving the two ore veins behind in 2GO feet has been explored, and an iron quartz oxidized has been run into. Attending this work the same mineralized condition of the various formations is again seen, and it is the belief that in a short time an other vein will be tapped, or before the present work is completed.
 The work is attended with the most attractive conditions in wideness. In the event that this work terminates as is expected, the future of the Little Daisy is assured, and it will undoubtedly be a splendid producing proposition. Interest is, however, felt in the termination of development in the new ground, mainly from the fact of what is proven in the initial work of crosscutting at a point so close to the main shaft.
 Many stockholders of the company have recently visited the property, among them pr. Allen Gardner of Hollywood and Major A. J. Piekerell of the Senator. The latter is a prac- tical mining man, and ranks as one of the most conservative in the busi- ness, as well. He gave his opinion of the property in an open and will ing manner, the other day, and be- lieves that it will be demonstrated as one of the most attractive propo- sitions in the fields in this section. Dr. Gardner. supports this belief also, and is pleased at being identified with it as an investor, also making this statement openly to several peo- pie in this city.

STEVE MOTT DIES or
 PARALYSIS OF THROAT
From wedneroay,s pailxl

Steve c. Mott passed away at the county hospital yesterday morning, his death being due to paralysis of the throat and bronchial organs. He was brought to the city few days ago from the Bonanza Gulch country, where he had been engaged for sew eral years in developing several min ing claims His affliction is said to be due to the using of water from these mines, and the supposition of several of his friends is that he drank too freely from a certain spring on one of the properties which was contaminated with a copper solu- tion. This he spoke of on one of his visits to the city a few months ago, saying that the entire water supply of that section where his mining interests were located was i'm pregnated with this or some other mineral.
 From the first no hopes were en tertained for his recovery, and fol lowing his inability to converse with friends to make his wants known, he became unconscious about twenty-foul hours before death came. MT. Mott was well known and enjoyed strong friendship with all people in thi: county. He was in 1890 elected tC the legislature from this county making a good record and having several mining laws enacted of an es sential nature to the mining element He operated the Little Prince mine il the Bradshaws, near the famous Peck in the early sos, making a fortune

WORK CONTINUES ON
 LITTLE DAISY MINE
From Wednesdays Daily,

Work continues on the Little Daisy mine at Jerome, and three shifts are driving the crosscut to the north east from the bottom of the 600 foot shaft. Since two veins were cut in to, giving this property an estab- lished rating for the future, the pur- pose of the management has been directed to continue exploration until the hanging wall is reached, or the limit of the location lines is explored.

RICH STRIKE MADE IN
 TOMBSTONE PROPERTIES

Reports come from Tombstone of what is believed to be the most i'm portant ore strike ever made in the Tombstone Consolidated. It is said that this strike was made last Wed nesday, when the miners shot into what looks to be the best bunch of ore ever found in the old mine. For the rest of the week and now they are still in this rich ore and 1t is now expected to be the largest body that the mine has. As a result the Tomb ctone Consolidated management is feeling better than ever and enter taining a growing belief that fate has turned them a fortune.
 Among the new plans of the com pany are the installation on the tenth level of a duplicate of a pump now on the eighth level, and with this object in view a station is being cut on the 1000 foot level. The pumps have been ordered.
 It is also said iu Tombstone that the Barret is about to resume opera lions and this resumption is to occur on the 2Oth of the month.
 It is said that supplies are now being hauled from Tombstone to the Barret camp, which is in the Ora goons. near the south pass, and about six miles northwest of Gleeson.

WILL LOOK OVER
 ROUTE TO VERDE
From Saturdays Dailyl

The Jerome News authoritatively states that Arthur Mcguire, assistant chief engineer of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad, of which Senator W. A. Clark is presi- dent, is due in Jerome in a few days with the object of making reeonnais- anee towards the south from Jerome. The prospective road is supposed to be a connection with the railroad of the Southern Pacific system towards Globe, from their extensive coal fields at Durango, Colo.
 The Clark interests have been seek ing an outlet from Jerome for a lOns time. A line has been surveyed from Flagstaff south and other routes have been looked over.

INTEREST AROUSED IN
 THE ROAD MOVEMENT
From Wednesdays Daily)

From Wednesdays Daily)
 Already the splendid effects attend ing the possible building of a north and south wagon road, on the plans outlined in yesterdays Journal Miner, are coming to the surface. The endorsing of the route author ized by the union meeting of the board of supervisors and the Good Roads association of this city and county, is more earnestly regarded than was anticipated, and especially so in the line of restoring eommer- clay advantages to this city and other places along the route selected. Singling out one district, that of the inviting mineral field along Hum bug creek, from its source to its mouth, at Columbia, prominence will for the first time in its history sbe extended it. This may seem an un-
 
 of the fact that of all the mineral divisions of northern Arizona, Hum bug is practically the pillar of quartz and placer operations, and with that regard it is today the most isolated and neglected from lack of transportation facilities. It is shut out, and aside from a few miner $ trails from one place to another with In its active one, not a vehicle of any character can reach the many properties being developed. Strangled with such conditions capital will not enter. This has been proven in three specific instances, and as many sales were recently cancelled from this one objection alone. By tapping the main portion of it under the plans that are now desired one of the most in viting and wealthiest sections of the county will be brought into the pro1- thence it deserves.
 Another paramount consideration that will follow the building of this highway Is that attached to the Sill yer Mountain country, southwest of Harrington. Following the granting of patent to group of eight claims at that point, the first move toward operating them by the new company is said to be the building of wagon road. As they are at the present time situated there is no established H6adway to or from them to build along
 Some comment is heard that the movement for the revolution of the roadways of Arizona finds its sup porters mainly among those who de- sire the comfort of pleasure jaunts, and that the automobile is the ave nue responsible for this spontaneous awakening. This is true, undoubt- edly. The better the roads the more of these vehicles With the char acter of the highways improved so as to permit of rapid and comfortable communication, only the more enthus- iastically should every citizen sup port this move. Whether the burro IS to travel it or the old time meth cd of heavy freight wagons are to be affected, only the more should the matter be urged along. What is of benefit to one affects all in this instance. It is to be hoped that any influence that will stimulate the building of good roads will be en- couraged to that extent that is seiz- ing all these days.
 Especially should those on the outside who have material interests at stake, be supported and eneour- aged to the limit of expenditure of the public funds.

HUMBOLDT ENJOYS
 GREAT ACTIVITY
CFrom Thursdays DaIIy)

lfTOm InuESOdN s IJ&liyJ Affecting the future of Humboldt, important matters are to be consid- cred today in New York city, is the general report in circulation in this city. From an authoritative source it is learned that the selection of a board of directors is to be made, and with that important move there will follow soon the announcement of a plan. of operation for the future of this enterprise. A we'll known civil engineer at the Swansea plant says that from New York city he was re- gently advised that all questions look ing to the taking over of this plant and the starting of the same had been definitely settled, and he believed that it was a settled fact that inside of three months the company would be on the market to buy ores.
 Yesterday the Arizona Power com pany unloaded over ear load of electrical machinery to be used by the Arizona Smelling company. In this shipment were all transformers to be used in operating that plant from power from this company, as well as furnishing an immense num- Der of lights for the various depart ments. A
 At the plant there is general evi- dence of the work going on in every department of the immense plant, that corroborates the general impress sion that the work is being done to- ward this end.
 Yesterday the work of unwatering the Blue Bell was started. This was for the purpose of resuming work on the same.
 The big reservoir near the blast furnace is under course of construc- tion, and three teams are employed in the work. This adjunct to the plant is for future use only, and in no way affects the Blue Bell unwater- ing plan. It is an immense enclosure, being from six to ten feet deep, GOV ering more than an acre of ground. It is being lined with slag from the former output and has a clay filling.
 The old engines are being rebuilt and repaired. One is finished and several mechanics are at work on the other.
 The big tanks in the concentrating room are also being rebuilt, it being found more economical to do so than repair the old vessels.
 All portions of the old smelter are being repiped, and made available for future uses of the concern.
 The former telephone service IS again being introduced, with a full line of new instruments, so that all departments may be in rapid means of communication with the works as we'll as to the outside.
 Mechanics are also being put to work as soon as they arrive, three new men, skilled in their lines, go- ing there yesterday.
 From the character of the work gO- ing on the feeling of all is that the plant is getting ready to go ahead on its former lines of operating, and with what is heard, it will be much more economically conducted enterprise than before.
 All business interests of the town of Humboldt feel the resumption of work on the limited scale prevailing, and to support this considerable money is again in circulation.
 Six saloons have thrown out their shingles, an increase of four in the past month.
