 FROM NATIONS CAPITAL

For the purpose of obtaining com plete and accurate information regard ing the manufactures, mines and smelters in Arizona; James B. Kitch, special agent of the Department of Commerce and Labor, has come to Arizona from Albuquerque. He will remain in the territory for two weeks engaged in this work.
 "The Bureau of Commerce and Labor is at present engaged in com piling statistics for all manufactur- ing, mining and smelting companies throughout the United States" said Mr. Kiteh.
 "There are agents in Colorado, New Mexico and California, and in all the surrounding territory, and the work is progressing rapidly.
 "The publication of authentic data on these separate industries will be of inestimable value to the manufae- turers and mining men, and I am en- deavOring to make my report for Ari- goa as nearly absolutely correct as statistical figures can be made. In order, however, to secure these results it is essential that I have the hearty cooperation of all manufacturing concerns, bakers, bOttlers, printers, publishers, etc, and mining eompan- ies. I am glad to say that this CO., operation has always been extended and have every assurance and req son to believe it will continue, for they cannot fail to realize the value of such report in the pursuance of their occupations
 "All replies to questions the held strictly confidential by us; in fact, a heavy penalty is imposed for a breach thereof. No individual statements or reports will be shown, but only by classes, groups and locations in ac- eordanee with our tabulated elassifea- tiOn.
 "Every mine and manufacturing industry in the United States will be visited and reported upon. This makes it difficult for me to place a time limit for the completion of our canvass, but we expect to have our reports ready perhaps in a few months"

GRAND MOUNTAIN PROP
 ERTY TO BE OPERATED
From Thursdays pailvl

Always considered as ore of the banner mineral sections of Yavapai county, the MeCabe district is now showing unusual activity. Only a few weeks ago it was officially an- nounced that the Triangle mine was to resume operations, and now comes the gratifying news that extensive de- velopment is to be given the Grand Mountain, which lies one and half miles southwest from Humboldt, on the road to MeCabe.
 F. L. Dwight, president and general manager of the company, is now here to supervise the installation of a 20- horse power gasoline hoist and other machinery, which were shipped from San Francisco a week ago. Timber sufficient to carry the shaft down 300 feet is en route from San Pedro, and J. I. Cheatham, who has been engaged as foreman, will arrive short ly from Los Angeles.
 MT. Dwight, who was in Prescott yesterday, purchasing supplies, states that the shaft will be sunk to a depth of 300 feet, to determine the pitch of the vein, after which a two compartment vertical working shaft will be sunk. In carrying down the present shaft, ore will be blocked out on the loo, 200 and 300 levels. He further states that all plans have been perfected to the end that the property shall be permanently worked.
 The holdings of the Grand Noun tain Mining company comprise six claims, upon which development work consists principally of a 5OO-foot tun- mel and shaft 100 feet in depth. The shaft follows the vein, which carries silver, lead and gold values, there being a large body of ore un- covered.
 Its close proximity 10 the Hum boldt shelter makes it an attractive mining proposition, and MT. Dwight, who is a mining operator of extended is so favorably impressed with it that he has purchased the interests of Ben Rybon and others, who have been identified with it here tofore.
 J. l. Cheatham, the new foreman, is a practical mining man, and has been operating for several years in Lincoln county, Nevada MT. Dwight will remain on the ground about three months, until operations are well under way, and then will re- turn to Los Angeles.
 The opening up of the Grand Noun tain on a practical and permanent basis should prove a great stimulus to the mining industry of the Me Csbe district.

GOVERNOR SLOAN WILL
 RECEIVE AT PHOENIX

Especial to the JOurnal-Miner.(
 PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 2.-Prepara- tions for the big aviation meeting which is scheduled to be held at Phoenix on February 10th, 11th and 18th, are progressing in a manner more than satisfactory to the com mittee in charge.
 Most encouraging has been the cor respondenee with all of the big stars who are to be in attendance, each of whom declares it is their intention to make a new world record in their particular line of air navigation.
 Curtiss, who has just completed his two new machines at his factory in New York state, has written and wired that all he will ask to break a record will be good weather. The present outlook is most favorable on this point. Hamilton has for some time been anxious to get into this valley, where atmospheric conditions are said to be the best for flying, there being such a small percentage of wind velocity. Willard will be the first of the aviators to arrive, probably the first of the coming week.
 For the entertainment of the visi- tors there will be something at night as well as day. On Friday evening of the week the Phoenix Country Club will give a dress ball ta the Arizona School of Music. The fune- ton will be a full dress affair and Governor Sloan and several of the territorial officials will assist the club in receiving.
 Not one night of the week will the Elks theater be dark, one of the entertainments being the home talent show, "A Night in Bohemia" which was so well received when presented last week. In addition to the above. all of the local lodges are planning open sessions, and in fact, open house during aviation days.
 In anticipation of making comfort able the tremendous crowds tha. will be in Phoenix, a bureau of aecommo- dations has been opened at Aviation headquarters in the Fleming building, on Washington street, and Harry B. Allen placed in charge as secretary. Accommodations may be reserved by wire or letter addressed to :he sec retary at address stated above. Wis itors not making reservations for ae- eommodations in advance, should, up- on their arrival in Pkoenix, first visit headquarters, which will be open at all hours.
 It is seldom Arizona has an op- portunity to entertain men like Cur tiss, Hamilton and Willard and see the wonderful exhibitions they have proven themselves so competent in giving. Whether records are made or not, the aviation meeting will direct the attention of the entire reading world to the fNst that Arizona is pro- gressive and must have the latest and best.

MANY BUSINESS
 CHANGES ARE MADE
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 It is understood that M. L. Tribby, who recently resigned as manager of the shoe department of the NJ. Gold water store, intends to open an ex- elusive boot and shoe house in this city in the near future. It was re- ported yesterday that he had leased one half of the store in the Bash ford block that has been occupied by Richard Bros.' grocery store, and that he will move into these quarters when the division partition has been con- structed. MT. Tribby is a shoe man of extended experience, and his long connection with Goldwater's has en- abled him to observe and recognize the needs of the community in foot wear. Not only this advantage but that of having gained a wide circle of friends during his residence here, will serve him in making a success of the enterprise.
 The other half of the store will be occupied by W. A. Cline, who requires more room for handling his coal and transfer business. For years he has occupied quarters in the Wilson block.
 Richard Bros. will move into the Lawler block, in the quarters orig inally occupied by the Electric the ater.
 Another important business move is the lease secured by the Biles-Lock- hart Clothing company of the corner store of the Ba.hford block, that is now occupied by the Brisley Drug company. D. H. Biles is now in Chi cago, buying new fixtures to install in his new store, of which the firm gets possession on March l. The Brisley drug store will remove to the K. of P. building, owned by Judge Hawkins, a ten-year lease having been signed. Until recently this was occupied by the Wigwam theater, and is a choice location, being only two doors south of the Bank of Ari- zona. The place is now being over hauled and renovated, and a con crete floor will be substituted for the wooden one. A new plate glass front will be installed, and the store made thoroughly modern in every re- speet.
 The exodus to Cortez street received another addition, yesterday, in the removal of the Prescott store, dealers in fruits and vegetables, to the old o. K. meat market. c. N. Otoi, the proprietor, will not only enlarge his but will add line of groceries.
 A new business enterprise that will | open in a few days, will be a res taurant in the store on North Cortez street formerly occupied by E. Voigt- | lander, the tailor.
 Mrs. D. J. Ryan has leased the Gentry Club at 124 North Marina street, and will open a cafe. She has had extended experience and for several years successfully conducted a restaurant in Jerome.
 MT. and Mrs. Andy Lynn have rent ed the Granite Dells resort, and are to serve cold lunches on Sundays and special dinners when or dered in advance by mail. They are successful caterers and should enjoy I a good patronage this summer.

MERCHANT SLAIN.
Clinton Rhoden Killed by W. B,
Glenn at Batesburg.-Crowd
Witnesses Tragedy.

Batesburg, March a. Clinton
Rhoden, a merchant Of this place,
was shot and instantly killed at one
O'Clock this afternoon by ". B.
Glenn, city electrician. The shoot
ing occurred on the principal street
Of Batesburg, which was crowded at
the time.
Glenn surrendered and was taken
to jail at Lezin ngton. There had been
bad feeling between the two men
for some time. As Glenn was going
along the street past Rhoden's store
the latter called to him. Glenn an
swered, "If you want me you can
come out here for me-
Rhoden then left his store and
went toward Glenn. A few moments
conversation ensued, and then Rho
den was seen to strike Glenn. Sev-
eral blows passed, and then Glenn
drew pistol and fired four shots at
Rhoden. The first went wild, but
the next three took deadly effect.
The first effective shot entered un-
der Rhoden's chin and passed through
the neck under the left ear. The
second severed the right jugular vein
and penetrated the brain. The last
bullet entered under the left arm and
plowed its way through the body,
going just under the heart and pen
tpateing the left lung. 1t was after
wards found just to the right Of the
,breast4bone. Any one Of the shots
would have proved fatal.
At the eoroner's inquest two wit
nesses testified that Rhoden had put
his hand behind him, as if to draw a
pistol, just before Glenn opened fire.
The coroner's jury brought in the
customary verdict that Rhoden
"came to his death by gunshot wound
at the hands of Glenn.''
Rhoden was about 50 years old.
He is survived by his wife and five
children. Glenn, who is about the
same age, also has wife and five
children.

KIRKLAND COMMITTED TO JAIL
Coroner's Jury Charges Him with
Wife Murder.

Camden, March 26.-The tragic
death of Mrs. Sam Kirkland was
wired the News and Courier yester-
day. Since that time fuller details
have been obtained, which are shock
ing in the extreme.
In brief, Sam Kirkland was
drinking man, according to all &C
counts, and when under the influence
of liquor was a turbulent fellow, and
treated his wife brutally. On Thurs
day he is alleged to have asked her
to get in his buggy with him; that
he wanted to talk to her.
A neighbor, who saw them in the
buggy, is reported to have said that
their actions were suspicious, and he
detected that Kirkland was drink
ing. He is said to have left homs
with a jug of whiskey and imbibed
freely Of the ardent spirits. When
he returned home in the evening his
wife's face was swollen, and there
were scars and bruises upon her. Her
bonnet was lying in the foot of the
buggy in a bloody condition.
In her desperation she is alleged
to have said that she could not stand
it any longer; so she saturated her
hair with kerosene oil and set fire to
it, dying as a result early yesterday
morning.
Coroner Dixon was notified, as was
also Solicitor Cobb, who attended the
inquest. The verdict Of the coroner's
Jury was "that Mrs. Belle Kirkland

bly, in the South and West, that the
prohibition laws were negative
through the operation Of the "blind
tigers,' and the ''bootleggers," and
in response to demands for remedial
measures, he directed that steps be
taken to stop the practices so far as
lay within the Federal power.
New regulations we're drawn under
the supervision Of Mr.. Cabell, the
commissioner of internal revenue and
approved by Secretary MaeVeagh to-
day. They set out that as the ped
ding Of liquors are not covered by
the internal revenue laws, as no pro-
vision is made for the issuance of
any stamp legahzing such practice,
peddlers Of liquors, or "bootleggers, -
are not to be regarded as coming
within the class Of unintentional vio-
lators and should be arrested and re-
ported for prosecution whenever
found selling liquor in such manner.
Heavy penalties Of fine or impris-
onment or both are prescribed for
violations Of the law.
As a supplemental measure of as
sistance to the State in the enforce
ment Of their prohibition laws, a
method has been provided by which
they may obtain information gathered
by the Federal government Of in
ternal revenue violations.
