MINING EXPERT ANSWERS
 THE LAST SUMMONS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. l5. - Fitz- James Mccarthy, better known to the mining world as "Fitz-Mae," was found dead in bed yesterday morning at II o'cIoek by Rev. R. s. Fisher of the First Methodist Episcopal church, at the First NJ. E. parsonage, 226 West Monroe street. Death was prob ably due to apOplexy.
 Mccarthy was in his usual good health when he went home, and as he passed up the stairs of the Fisher home he joked with members of the family and appeared to be in cheer ful frame of mind. This was the last seen of him alive.
 A telephone call came for MT. Me Carthy this morning and Rev. Fisher went up to his room to summon him to the phone. When he reached the bedside he found MT. Mccarthy cold ID utdlH. cured several hours before he was found.
 MT. Mccarthy has been rooming at the Fisher residence since last Sep tember, and had been a resident of Phoenix for the. past three years. He was about 65 years of age, and one of the best known men in the West in mining circles, being a mining ex- pert and correspondent for several mining papers. For the past several years he spent most of his time in Colorado, Nevada and Arizona, and his work in writing up the various mining properties of the three states attracted attention from all over the United States. He was partially deaf and used silver mouth plate in con versing with anyone. Mccarthy num- bered his friends by his aequaintanees and news of his death will cause pro found sorrow among his hundreds of friends.

many things that might be said of the Constitutional convention that were good, but only one occurred to him at that moment. He believed that this Constitution would possess more originality than anything here tofore conceived by God or man. Re garding his observations at the Fair, the Judge stated that judging from the specimens of the fair that he had seen on the streets, "the fairest of the fair' came from good old Yavapai county. However, he did not feel so well qualified to speak on the subject as were some other gentlemen who were present.
 This ended the formal speech mak- ing and the remainder of the evening was spent in conversation and good fellowship.

 AGAIN A PRODUCER
(From Sundays Daily.l

Bullion receipts yesterday at the Bank of Arizona included a fifty eight ounce bar of gold from the Mammoth mine, a partial cleanup of the plates of the new mill in the test run started a few days ago. It will be shipped to the brancn mint at San Francisco.
 The Mammoth mine was taken over several months ago by George U. Young. Secretary of Arizona, for the Young Mines company. The prop erty was one of the noted producers of the Territory a quarter of a cen tury ago. Since the title passed to MT. Young and his associates great progress has been made in reOpening the property, which has been idle many years, due to litigation and dis agreements among its former owners. Some of the old workings nave been repaired and in addition virgin de- posits of rich ore, not known to ex- ist in its early history, have been uncovered.
 The new mill has been finished and ten stamps are now working on the test run giving satisfaction.

BAR ASSOCIATION
 RULES ARE APPROVED
(Frem Sundays Daily.)

On eonvening court yesterday morn ing, Judge Doe announced that he mad approved the Bar Association rules, adopted at a special meeting Friday afternoon. The report was ordered printed and filed with the records of the District Court.
 The move taken by the Associa- tion is to facilitate the expeditions handling of the business of the Dis triet Court, and among the more i'm portant matters are the following:
 Saturday of each week, while the court is in session, is to be observed as law and motion day.
 On the Friday preceding, the Clerk shall make up the law and motion calendar, and the bailiff shall post the same on a bulletin board that morning.
 No civil cause shall be set for trial until all demurrers, etc, other than pleas involving issues of fact, shall have been heard.
 Civil causes are to be placed upon trial at the earliest practicable day certain.
 In any action other than a erim- inal proceeding, trial by jury must be demanded at the time of setting the action.
 Hereafter no paper on file in the office of the Clerk must be taken from the court house, except exhib- its, certified copies of which must be substituted.
 When several counsel are employed in a case but one shall examine or cross-examine the same witness.
 The adoption of these rules and their observance will relieve clients and witnesses of disagreeable situa- tions many are placed in at the pres ent term of court.
 The criminal calendar is unusually large, and scores of witnesses are re- quired to be present and to remain for many days, pending the disposi- tion of them. This neeessitates a heavy expense, and the same rule will apply to the civil suits on the calendar.

WALKER DISTRICT
 IS REPORTED ACTIVE
(From Sunday. Daily.)

While in the city yesterday from Walker, G. G. Henderson stated that the showing being made by leasers in that district is creating considerable comment, all experiencing good re- turns from their efforts. Many of the mines of that section are being operated on this principle, and through the returns received in mill runs made there is every reason to believe the creating of some attrae- tive properties is evident. The mines under development by the several companies are also making a splen- did showing. It is the general Opin- ion that Lynx Creek at the upper end is now a permanent mining sec tion, and that some of the heaviest producers in the Territory will be developed there.

WAR DEPARTMENT ' --- -c TO ENLARGE wHRPLE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Reports are in circulation at Whip pie Barracks that during the coming year, the construction of additional buildings will be authorized by the War Department, and that the head quarters of the 18th Infantry will be established there. As given out from reliable sources, the additions will in- clude a new double barracks building, possibly band barracks and two sets of officers quarters, together with other accommodations that go with that reinforcement, The appropria- tion for this increase of the garrison will be available on and after June 30th. It is believed construction of the proposed buildings will be author ized even before that date.
 In conjunction with this reinforce ment of Fort Whipple, it is also the current belief that the strong report made by General Thomas, now a guest of the city, endorsing Whipple as regimental headquarters, will be en- dcrsed and carried into effect. Gen eral Thomas, in a former report, as commanding officer of the Depart ment of the Colorado, made favorable mention of this post for that specific purpose. In view of this it is be- lieved that the post is destined to be in the very near future what this general officer has recommended.
 Fort Whipple is one of the most desirable military posts in the nation, and many prominent officers station ed at Washington are eognizant of it's unexcelled rlimate, its purest of pure waters and other features which eonduee to the general health of the garrison. The officers eonversant with these attractive conditions are outspoken in their admiration of tie site, and through their generous and unbiased judgment it is anticipated that the government will heed the recommendations of General Thomas and others standing high in the War Department.
