The reductions shown in rates from St. Louis will make like reductions in rates from points in what is known as defined territories which are bas- ed, as you know, on differentials over the St. Louis class rates.
 The. class rates to Phoenix from points shown above and other points affected by these reductions will ap- ply, as in the past, at intermediate points on the s. F. P. & P. lines thereby reducing class rates from such points to all points on the s. F. P. & P. Ky and leased lines.
 Mir. Barnwell, general freight agent of the A. T. < s. F. Coast Lines. requests me to say to you that he is now engaged in reissuing tariff carrying class rates between Los An geles and all other stations on the coast lines and points upon the main line and branches of the A. T. & s. F. Coast Lines in Arizona, inelud- ing the Grand Canyon railway, which will materially reduce those class rates and that he hopes to make this tariff effective at an early date. I

PARENTS WANT DEED TO
 CHILDREN SET ASIDE.
rFrom Thursdays DaIlv'

A unique suit was yesterday insti- tuted in the district court when MT. and Mrs. Westbrook of this county filed a petition for the setting aside of a deed, having within it the stip- ulations of a will, principally because of the fact that since the deed was executed two additional children have come to bless the home of the West brooks, says the Tucson Star.
 At the time the deed was recorded in 1907, giving into the custody of the five Westbrook children, all min ors, certain parcels of land in the Sunnyside addition, the father of the children was i'll; so i'll in fact that his physician and members of the family believed that he would not recover. In order to provide for the future needs of the children, he as- signed them the property intending the deed as a will, as follows: gro Ella Westbrook, north half of block &; to Alice J. Westbrook, block Il; to Thomas B. Westbrook, south half of block &; to William A. Westbrook, the north half of block z, and to Mary James Westbrook, the south half of block z, all in the Sunnyside addition"
 Since the deed was executed, how ever, the father has completely re- covered and in the meantime two additional children have been born to the Westbrooks. Now the parents are seeking to recover the property deeded to their children; first, be- cause they desire the younger ones to share in their allotment and sec ond because they desire funds at this time with which to educate the ehil- dren.

understand that this will reduce the class rates between local points in Arizona on the A. T. 6 s. F. Coast Lines, as well as those from Califor- mia to such points.
 I am now preparing for the S. F. P. 6 P. lines a new local class tariff which will also substantially reduce our class rates from Phoenix to points on such lines; and I will be pleased to furnish you with advance copies of these tariffs and data show ing the reductions accomplished there by at the earliest possible date
 The reduced class rates from points outside the territory to Phoenix and intermediate points on the s. F. P. 6 P. lines have been published to be- come effective January 2, 1910, and all other class rates referred to here in will be published and made effect i've early as is consistent with the large amount of tariff work involved in the reissue or amendment of the many tariffs affected by the general reduction of class rates in Arizona.

PRESCOTT LAWYERS
 TO ADDRESS ELKS.
(From Fridays Daily.l


 Prescott attorneys are urgently in demand for their forensic abilities, and a late draft for several of the most accomplished orators is shown in the selection of three well known members of the bar of this city who will deliver the memorial addresses in adjoining cities for the B. P. O. Elks on next Sunday.
 E. s. Clark, recognized as one of the most brilliant and scholarly men in the territory, has been requested to deliver the memorial address at Winslow on the occasion of the me- morial Observances of the hallowed day to all Elks. He has accepted.
 Two members of that lodge have passed away during the past year. However, they were not only among the most ardent supporters of that fraternal organization, but in their devotion they were also two of the oldest members in residents in Ari- zona. One was F. M. Buck, who for over thirty years was prominent in the business life of the north. The old hotel at Holbrook known as the Buck House remains to his memory as a long resident. MT. Buck person ally was acquainted with practically every man in that section.
 The other man whose memory will be honored was A. F. McAllister, who for over thirty-three years had resid- ed in the north also. For six consec- utive terms he had been elected eOun- ty recorder of that county, and his death cast a gloom over all. Both MT. Buck and MT. McAllister were members of the Grand Army of the Republic, the latter losing an arm at the battle of Gettysburg. Both veterans passed away within a few days of each other. Considering that the Elks of Winslow have one of the strongest lodges in the territory III memDeIsHlp, lJ SceHS SOluoNudL strange and sad that the two oldest members in residence in Arizona should be called hence, and that their memories should be revered jointly on such a sorrowful occasion. Much interest will accordingly be taken in the forthcoming eulogy.
 LeRoy Anderson, also a member of the bar, has been requested to go to Kingman for a similar duty to the departed Elks of that thrifty city, and has accepted. He also is brilliant orator, and in securing him for the observance of the day Kingman. has been fortunate.
 For the Flagstaff mission on Elks' memorial day, the selection of H. H. Linney, also an attorney of this city, is announced. He is among the youngest members of the bar of this city, but a pleasing entertainer on the rostrum, and conversant with the duties of the day.
 The attorneys will leave for the northern cities tomorrow morning.

FINDS SWANSEA IS
 VERY LIVELY COUNTRY.
(From Thursdays Daily)

W. I. Johnson, after several weeks at Swansea, reached the city yes terday on a business visit. He states that this place is one of the most active in that reg,nn and that the activity prevailing in all de- partments of the company business is indicative of the prominence of the enterprise and its merited rat ing.
 The enlarging of the smelter to a capacity of 75O tons daily capacity is going on uninterruptedly and a heavy volume of ore is coming to the surface. The grade of the railroad has reached a point within three miles of Swansea from Bouse, and the laying of the track will be start ed this week, and rushed as fast as possible. Delay has attended this work owing to the fact that ties could not be secured sooner, together with the rails.
 Shipments are now coming to Bouse daily, and crew will begin the practical building of the roadway at the above time. Very much interest is attending the building of this line and in addition to the Clara interests other mines in that immedi- ate field will receive the stimulating effect that economical transportation facilities will afford in the working of them also. The future of that field is considered of the brightest.

evidence the regularity of the Assure
 veins of the Idol, the Bell and Hill
 side, which are punched within a
 space of less than one thousand feet,
 and the Majestic which is traeeable
 for miles, all have a northeasterly
 and southwesterly trend and in their
 well defined character run to and into
 other mines in that zone that are fair
 ly established in mineral rating. The mountain range along Cherry Creek to the west from where the Arizona Copper Gold Company's interests are situated to the Verde River Copper company, on the east, is cut at scores of places, and the supposition of many is that the belt of the United Verde courses through the system of Assures that are so distinctly in ex- istence and traceable at these points.
 In acquiring the group as above mentioned the Hillside people say they are imbued with an earnest pur- pose to develop the ground along principles that call for practical work. The reduction of the ores will be secondary, and will be made only for the purposes of determining the character of the product. They are not enthusiastic, but operate along lines of conservative regard. They are advancing the money necessary for a long campaign out of their personal resources, and estimate that it will require at least $1OO,OOO to carry out their plans. They will start the work at once and later will make the selection of points at which they will concentrate their efforts.
 In coming to this section these peo- pie feel very q dnthusiastic over that particular field, development to be considered, and sincerely believe that it is one of the most attractive zones in the Territory for the investment of legitimate money in mine exploita tion.
 Messrs. Thielman, Greene and Davis are heavily identified with mining in Wyoming, and in making a success at that state believe the inducements in the Cherry Creek district are as equally attractive as what is pre- sented in the northern field, develop ment or course being taken into con sideration. They are selling no stock, and will place none on the market until such time as their plans of de- velopment have been executed and demonstrated the value of the prop erty to such a pronounced extent as will warrant them in recommending their friends in the East to invest.
