 "Son; let me tell you one thing. It matters not whether the prospeetor strikes mine or not. He is happy in the hills. He breathes the pure air. He sees nature as she is, and she delights him. With his lone burro, with his bacon and beans, breaking rock here, picking into the ground there-aIways optimistic, always hope ful-he is the happiest man on earth. I know, because I have gone through it.
 "Some city folks, with their late hours, their mixed drinks, their hot birds and cold bottles, think they are happy. Never! I have tried them both. Give me the hills, every time."
 Vigorous as are his ideas on long evity, MT. Pierce has equally well de- fined ideas on modern topics. He freely diseourses on automobiles and airships, while the same epigrammatic flavor that he talks of matters of the past.

SINKING IS BEGUN ON
 PROPERTY

All the hoisting machinery of the Grand Mountain Mining company is now in place and the work of sink ing the shaft will begin today. A force of ten men are employed and as the shaft work progresses, levels will be run. General Manager F. L. Dwight has been on the ground sup erintending the construction work and will leave today for Los Angeles.
 The company is strongly financed and the management has made all preparations for continuous and ex- tensive development. Situated as the property is, in the rich MeCabe dis triet, and only a few miles from the Humboldt shelter, it's prospects are excellent for becoming one of the big producers of that section.

 Ash Fork had a thrilling "Wild West' the other evening, that re- calls all the vivid past, when single handed and alone, the deep and dark eyed villain shot up the burg, in true frontier style. The sole feature lack ing in the tragedy was that "Bob" Moulds was the whole show, carrying out bis "dime novel wrongs" with a big gun that had a hair-trigger to permit of quick action, in his slender foot" endeavor to wipe off the earth any who did not like his "style."
 The Fashion saloon was the barri- cade that Moulds desired to erumble to pieces, and after he had taken a bead on it, the ringing of the bull lets was too real, and he "ducked" to Prescott.
 He was arrested here by Sheriff Smith, and yesterday taken back to answer to the complaint. District Attorney Ross represented the county in the preliminary examination be- fore Judge Kraemer. Moulds was held to the grand jury in $1,OOO bond. which he has thus far failed to furnish.

His flowing beard snow-white, his still luxuriant growth of hair on his head the color of the white siIken gown of a blushing bride, Nathaniel P. Pard) Pierce, Arizona veteran, but net a resident of Sawtelle, Cal, filled with vim and vigor and active even beyond a man of thirty years his junior, yesterday in this city gave some genuinely wholesome maxims as to how to attain to ten years beyond the allotted three-seore and ten.
 "Pard" Pierce, as he prefers to be known, is not new to Arizona. He came here years before many of the present residents were born. He is proud of the fact that he lived in the West for sixty years. He is i'm mensely pleased that he can say with out any boasting that he is one of the hardy pioneers, who in the days when the cruel, heartless, bloodthirsty Indians were roaming about, helped to fCblaze' the Southwestern trail.
 Withal, MT. Pierce is one of. the most modest, most retiring of pio- neers. He prefers not to talk of the past. He would rather engage you in conversation on present topics. And it may be stated here that he is keenly read, that he is conversant with matters of pressing interest, that despite his four-score years he has not in the least lost his interest in Ariozna affairs.
 Just a few days ago MT. Pierce re- turned from two months arduous lab ors on his mining claims, swinging a "single jack" He performed his own assessment work. It is a feat that would test the hardihood and en- durance of many of the younger gen eration to the utmost. He considers

STEPHAN SAYS coNDI-
 TONS ARE NORMAL
CFrom Friday's Daily.)


 c. E. Burton, one of the repre- sentative sheepmen of the county, was in the city yesterday, arriving from Phoenix, where, with Mrs. Burton, he has been spending the winter.
 His sheep are ranging along the A. & C., and he will return to that locality tonight. In speaking of the general reports in circulation that the industry will be seriously crippled through heavy losses sustained from lack of grazing ground, scarcity of water, and poisoned weeds, he says they are exaggerated and misleading. While it is true some bands have been decimated, and for time range feed was scarce, many floeks will pass through the season with a loss that will not reach 10 per cent, which he considers remarkable under the circumstances prevailing for few weeks.
 The warm weather of the past week, he says, has been of a bene- fcial result, and the grass is again creeping up, and the sheep getting in fine condition. The increase is also maintained this season at it's us- ual percentage, which, in itself, is the best argument of the actual condi- tion seen on the range. With others who have their flocks in that section, he will begin driving to the northern part of the county next month.

TERRITORIAL TAX MEASURE MAY
 BE TESTED

Will the territorial statutes, which
 make it the duty of every employer to pay to the assessor the annual school tax for his employees, and de- duet the same from their wages, hold water when it is tested in the eourtsP asks the Globe Silver Belt.
 Such is the question which bids fair to be settled in Gila county with in a short time. There have been numerous complaints against this stat ute from business houses in that city, and the head of one concern in this city has flatly refused to pay the school tax of his employees.
 County Assessor R. E. Merritt, af- ter making several attempts to collect the school tax from the employees of the man in question, yesterday passed the matter up to the district attor- ney's office and suit will probably be brought to decide the question. It is claimed that the employer will fight his side Of the legal battle for the purpose of testing the law and as the result the validity of the statute may be determined.
 It is generally held that the Ari- zona lawmakers stretched a point when they adopted this statute, but it is a recognized fact that a tax law, no matter how weak, is usually hard to break down, and if the mat ter is taken up in the courts, which is quite probable, it is more than likely that the validity of the law will not be settled without a lengthy legal battle.
 Another matter which will arouse the ire of the taxpayers, is the fact that they will more than likely be compelled to pay road tax to both the county and the city this year.
 Before the adoption of the recent road district law, which abolished all former road districts, and made one road district of each county, the old system of road taxes, by which each road supervisor in the country dis tricts collected the taxes of that district, was abolished and in the new road law it was specified that every male resident of the county should pay road tax in the same man ner that school tax is paid.
 No provision is made for the ex- emption of the residents of ineor- porated towns and as the result, the male residents of Globe within the re- quired age limits, are apparently due for a double dose of taxes this year.
 Both District Attorney Shute and Attorney General Wright hold that the county must collect road tax from the city of Globe as well as from the outside districts, and unless the matter is settled in a test suit, it is apparently up to the Globe people ! to grin and bear it and find solaee 1 in the fact that residents of incor- porated towns throughout the entire territory must take the same medi- cine until such time as the law can be amended.

TUCSON DOCTOR MEETS
 DEATH IN AUTO

Dr. Walter B. Purcell, one of the leading physicians of Tucson, was in stantly killing by the overturning of his automobile, yesterday, out on the road to the Twin Buttes mine, about twenty miles from town, says the Tue son Citizen. He lay for four hours pinned under the machine, his neck having been broken in the accident Deputy Sheriff Earle and four miners at the Twin Buttes mines, previously notified by telephone of the tragedy, hastened to the scene on a handear, lifted the heavy weight from Dr. Pur- cells body, and brought the remains into Tucson on the handcar. They arrived here about 5:3O o'clock yes terday evening. A eoroner's inquest was held at o'clock this afternoon to formally determine the cause of death.
 The funeral was held Wednesday at 10 o'clock from the cathedral. It was under the auspices of the var iOus fraternal organizations of which pr. Purcell was a member. The eere- monies at the graveside were con dueted by the Elks lodge.
 The accident was of an unusually tragic nature. The doctor, with a companion, was on his way to the nuk s- pire automobile, which he had just purchased. They were following tho road along the east side of the rail road track, and should have crossed over to follow the Twin Buttes branch at the point of divergence from the main line.
 Instead, through mistaking the road, he proceeded along the east side of the extension for about three miles further. Pereeiving his error, then, Dr. Purcell turned the machine back on the old road, hoping to strike the crossing sooner than by retraeing his way completely. But when he reached the railroad he found a steep embankment of perhaps five feet in height, which he did not believe the machine could negotiate. It was all ready part way up the grade, how ever. In backing and turning, the automobile suddenly turned turtle, pinning Dr. Purcell underneath and projecting the other occupant of the ear twenty feet or more away. The latter was severely shaken and bruised, but otherwise escaped in jury.
 News of the tragedy first reached the Twin Buttes mine, and within a few minutes Deputy Sheriff Earle and four miners were pumping hand ear with all their strength, fairly flying over the rails on their way 10 the scene. They were delayed in their arrival through having to follow the branch line down to the junction and take the main line from that point to the place where the overturned au- tomobile lay. It was not until about 3 o'clock that they raised the ma chine from Dr, Pureell's body.
