OLD YARNELL MINE TAKEN
 OVER BY NEW COMPANY

A company capitalized at two and a half million dollars was formed at the Hotel Adams in Phoenix Monday to take over and work the Yarnell gold mine, a few miles east of Congress Junction. The president of the new company is c. J. Price, mining ex- pert from South Africa, where he has been engaged for the past fifteen years in treating low grade ores such as the Yarnell property is chiefly composed of.
 Thomas J. Sparks will be the gener- al manager of the company and on the board of directors will be c. B. Stewart of Kansas City, G. D. Lytle of Topeka and T. G. Norris of Pres | colt, who will act as counsel for the company, and Lewis A. Durham of New York Mir. Dunham and MT. Price will suporintend the engineering work which the company proposes to put in at once.
 The new development work of the company will consist in the enlarge ment of the twenty-stamp mill which is now on the property and the install ation of more modern and efficient ma chinery. According to ono of the di- rectors there IS now in sight over 15O,- 900 tons of ore and this will be treat ed after the most approved and mod crn methods.
 The Yarnell mine, up to a year ago. had not been worked for twenty years. Before that time a good lot of ore was taken out with remarkable showing in spots. The ore averages about $7 ton and the cost of reduc- ing it was one of the reasons why work on the mine ceased. With bet ter machinery it is thought that it can be made valuable paying prop | osition.
 MT. Sparks has had control of the mine since year ago and in that | time has had force of men at work | on it and has taken out a good deal ot ! gold. The force will not be increased ] and everything done to make the com pany a dividend paying corporation.
 MT. Price came to Arizona a week | ago to look over the property and af- ter a careful examination decided to enter the directorate of the company and take charge of the engineering work

MRS. ADA c. PARKER
 IS AGAIN A BRIDE
CFrom Wednesdays Dailv)


 The matrimonial troubles of W. 2. | Parker, formerly the contractor Ct the county hospital and latterly the quondam proprietor of a moving DIG ture show, and his wife, Ada c. Par ker, are well known in this city. Botk have been in court and their aeeusl- tions against each ether would not look well in print, even were they not in controvention oi the Federal stat utes which forbid tine circulation of obscene matter through the mails. Parker is in Mexico, or is reputed 10 be, while his divorced wife is again a bride, according tu the following ae- count in the Phoenix Republicans:
 A love affair of ten yeras standing culminated in marriage in probate court yesterday afternoon. Otis S. Kane, of Helena, Mont, accompanied by Mrs. Ada C. Parker, called for the license. There was no foolishness about it. MT. Kane is a cowman and was dressed for the part in broad brimmed hat, shirt sleeves and leather "shaps," a good-looking young fellow of twenty-seven. The bride, rather petite and quite handsome, wore q cow boy hat, blouse, with handkerchief about her neck and divided skirt. She carried a whip. The license having been handed to MT. Kane, there was no silly simpering by him or the bride to-be, but a matter of fact, "I sup pose we can get tied somewhere around here" Judge Phillips overheard the remark and hurriedly removing his coat from nail, he slipped into it and invited the wedding party into the court room.
 The wedding words were hurriedly said and the groom. grasplng the bride around the waist, lifted her off her feet, gave her a vigorous hug, and ex- claimed, "At last!"
 MT. Kane and Mrs. Parker knew eacn otner ten years dSo' btlOlC thN marriage of the latter, but had seen very little of one another in the mean time. Mrs. Parker went to Prescott, where she remained until four weeks ago, then coming to Phoenix. MT. Kane arrived here q week ago.
 The informal dress of the bride and
  groom was part of the plan for the deception of their friends. The wed ding had been set for next Sunday. Yesterday morning Mir. Kane mention ed that he had business out in the and sent for horse. In the most casual manner he asked Mrs. Kane if she would not like horse back ride. She would, and they start ed. The really objective point was he office of the probate judge.
 MT. and Mrs. Kane will remain in md about Phoenix until summers sets m good and plenty, when they will cave for Helena.

CONTRACT SYSTEM HIT
 BY GRAND JURY
From Wednesdays Dai!y)

tfTOm NeOueSudy bdlsA
 Manicopa county's recent grand jury in its report found it necessary to score severely the management of the poor farm, as regards the treatment of 5he inmates and the deplorable unsani- tary conditions. In that connection the grand jury made this reeommenda- ton:
 "We understand that the last leglis- lature passed an act which was signed by the governor, making it optional with the board of suervisors to do away with the contract system and to pro vide themselves the food, care and at tendants of the poor farm and county hospital, and to place a superintendent in charge, and if such fact be true, VIC recommend that in the future the board of supervisors, instead of letting ont the care of indigent patients by contract, take charge of the poor 1arm and country hospital themselves and manage it by means of a superinten- dent appointed by them to represent them"
 Regarding the above it is only prop CT to remind the citizens of Maricopa county that the new law providing for the appointment of a superintendent of the poor farm, originated in Yava- pal county and was proposed and ad- voeated by the present board of super visors. In fact, Supervisor Barney Smith made several trips to PhoenIx while the legislature was in session for the sole purpose of expediting the passage of this bill in order that the board might be able to take advantage of its provision at the expiration of the old contract for the county hos

WHEELED A RANGE
 TO HIS OWN HOME
lFrom Wednesdav's Daily. )


 Charged with the theft of a large
 Comfort range as well as various and
 divers articles of household furniture
 from the home of Mir and Mrs. Hart
 son on the Hatson' ranch, immediately
 west of the city limits, John J. Buck
 man. IT,. known as "Buck' Buckman,
 is now a prisoner in the county jail.
 He was arrested yesterday after the
 stove and furniture were removed
 from his pemises in West Prescott where the articles were found by Dep
 uty Sheriff Joe Cook, armed with q search warrant and recognized by Mrs. Mary E. Harrison.
 Buckman was arraigned before Jus tiee of the Peace McLane after hls arrest and held under $500 cash bonds or $1,OOO personal bonds. His prelim- mary examination will be held in the court of Justice MeLane Thursday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock.
 The inventory of the stolen goods includes besides the Home Comfort range, a bed, mattress, bedding, spoons, knives, forks, stove pipe, cup board, shelving, rocking chairs, chars and other articles, as well as a picture of Blarney castle that was found hid den between two mattresses.
 MT. and Mrs. Harrison have been ab sent in Wiekenburg several months. She returned from Wickenburg Monday afternoon and on entering her home was surprised to find almost all her furniture and household utensils gone. She noticed a chimney eappIng and stove pipe that resembled the one that adorned her residence which she left, in place over the chimney of the house occupied by Buckman. She swore to a complaint and the search warrant was issued. She accompanied Deputy Sheriff Cook to the Buckman premises and recognized her goods. AL though the range was in use cooking a meal, the fire was removed, and it was disconnected from the stove pipe and loaded on an express wagon while yet | too hot to handle with the bare hands. | The other articles recognized by Mrs. l Hartson and her own were also taken | and stored III the courthouse pending further investigation.
 When Officer Cook and Mrs. Hart son entered the Buckman premises, Buckman claimed that all the furniture in the house was there when he and ! family moved into it in February. This is denied by the owner of the house. Buckman assisted Deputy Cook and the express man in loading the goods on the wagon. When the house was denuded of the alleged stolen Buckman was requested by Cook to accompany him to the court house and assist in unloading it. Buck man volunteered to accompany the of feer, and when the property was un- loaded was surprised to be informed that he was a prisoner.
 After his arrest he is alleged to have confessed to Deputy Cook that he wheeled the stolen range from the Hartson ranch to the house occupied by himself and family in West Pres colt, in a wheelbarrow at night. He also admitted appropriating the other articles at various times.
 Buclman is a laborer by occupation. He formerly worked at Fort Whipple He was born in this county and raised to mans estate in Thompson valley. He retired from the active life of TOW puncher a few years ago and has lived here ever since.
