THE COMING OF PRESIDENT TAFT.

Within forty.eight hours President
Taft will be in St. Paul, not'a guest
of that city, but rather a guest of
the state of Minnesota. It is espec-
tally appropriate that he should be
sheltered and make his public ap-
pearance in the capitol city for here,
by reason of it's state officers, the
commonwealth can most appropri.
ately welcome the head of the nation.
That this welcome will be real
and spontaneous, and divorced from
semblance of politics, is shown by
the harmonious efforts of men of all
parties in an effort to pay proper
homage to the head of the nation.
Party discussions and party lines
should melt before the coming of Mr..
Taft for it is a sad day for the re.
public when courtesy and honor due
the highest office on earth is not
forthcoming.
If the roaming insurgents of Min.
nesota have stirred feeling against
the administration there are better
ways for the dissatisfied to show the
feeling than any effort to slight Mr..
Taft, who comes, not only to make a
political speech, but to aid in a move
ment having Tor it's purpose the bet
terment of the entire country.
1t isn't likely that President TAFT
will receive the same jubilant re-
ception which wi make holes in the
atmosphere upon the arrival of his
predecessor, but Mr.. Taft is of a
different make up than the colonel,
and while he may not create as
much noise, he has done many
things which entitle him to quite
as much respect as even the
spectacular resident of Oyster
Bay.

There are but ffty.eight more days

That it will be Thomas D.

positive, if Mr.. O'Brien can be

 Coming as this statement does from an authority rated as of the highest. and associated as he is with a property of world wide fame, and adjoining the Little Daisy, the at tractive conditions prevailing on the Daisy are certainly worthy of the consideration that practically and eonelusively eorroborates what has generally and privately been known in recent months to be in existence on that property.
 in evidence, stating that the possi- bilities for the making of a great mine were unmistakably in evidence. More than that; from what he could see of the ore bodies, and mentioning specifically the formation in which they were found, he was all the more pleased at the geological conditions evident and the development.
 Speaking of the progress of devel- opment, MT. Fisher states that the winze from the HOO foot level is still going through the big body of chaleo-pyrite ore, where the main de- velopment is under headway. He feels very much elated at the out look at this point, while from the 800 foot level the evidence of strik- ing a similar condition is practically assured, and he expects to establish the same determinations as prevail below, within a short time. All points on the property are attractive and the merit of the mine is ineon- powerfully established, warranting its listing as one of the great cop per producers of the country.

General Manager J. J. Fisher of the Little Daisy mine, yesterday au- thorized the announcement to be given publicity that in a short time the United Verde Extension Mining company, operating that property, would enter it on the Stock Ex- change of Boston, this decision hav- ing been arrived at on the 18th of this month, at a meeting held in New York City by the Board of Directors, when the treasurer was directed to proceed accordingly.
 The importance of thIs move will be appreciated in mining annals of the county, as one of the most vital and noteworthy in favorable rating tha thas ever taken pliee in Northern Arizona, establishing, as it does, the entry of a property into a state of concrete and inflexible value, and on which is based the notable determin- ations that have been made in the past few months, without an equal in this field of mineral possibilities.
 Later the stock will be listed on other exchanges, the desire of the corporation being centered at the present time to listing it at eenters where copper mining has paramount consideration.
 On leaving for Jerome, yesterday, MT. Fisher also conveyed the sig nifcant information that last Friday he extended Robert Tally, superin- tendent of the United Verde Copper company, an invitation to visit the underground workings of the Little Daisy, which was accepted. MT. Tally, after an investigation of all

merit of the undertaking.
 That the strike is one of the great est that has been made recently in that section is shown from the decidedly keen interest that is pre- vailing in that field, following a sim liar demonstration when the Little Daisy came into prominence under nearly the same conditions.
 The watch word of the company is to rush the exploration ahead with all the vim and vigor possible, and with the installing of the pumping plant this will be the consideration extended
 William Wilson, a Colorado mine operator, has the contract for all the underground work on the property, and since July has advanced the sev- eral headings a distance of 322 feet, from which method in the energetic operations prevailing, some idea may be formed of the purposes of the company to solve the problem at the earliest date practicable.
 The Haynes people are rated as among the most energetic in that field of large undertakings, and have followed a course of practical oper- ations several years. Their success meets with much commendation from all people within and without the mining industry of that country.

BOY BITTEN BY SCORP|ON
 EXPIRES
(From Tuesdays Daily)

(FrOm Tuesdays Dally)
 Saturday afternoon, at the home of MT. and Mrs. James Bishop of Stan ton, one of the saddest afflictiOns that has ever ivertaken them, was the death of thei little three-year-old son, Ray, who was bitten by scorp- ion, and less than two hours after ward succumbed to the deadly poison. The little fellow was playing in the kitchen of the home, and it is the belief of his parents that when his face was on the floor he was seized by the insect. He did not complain of serious pain, until later, when he rushed to his mother, informing her of what had happened. An investiga- tion showed that his cheek had been penetrated by the prongs of the scorpion. Every known remedy available in the home was applied, but without avail, and in less than two hours he expired in great agony.
 A short time after he complained he lapsed into inconsistencies.
 The body was brought to this city Sunday afternoon and interment was had yesterday in Mountain View cemetery from Ruffner's chapel. MT. and Mrs. Bishop have the sympathy of the community in the loss of their dear little one.
