CONS|DERAT|ONOF HOME BIDS IS
 STILL ON Board of Control Has Thus Far Not Made
 Choice Local Architect Called To Pboenix For
 Consultation
Frnrn Saturdays Daily,

Consideration of the competitive bids on the plans and specifications for the Pioneer Home to be located in Prescott, is still on before the Board of Control at Phoenix, and as yet no conclusion has been reached as to who is to be the successful one.
 Yesterday another meeting was to take place for the further eonsidera- ton of the project on these lines and at the request of the board E. H. Brennan of this city, who submitted his plans, was called for consultation, appearing yesterday morning He was accompanied from Prescott by Joe Petit, also a contractor, who will ap- pear before the board in MT. Bren- nan's behalf. The delay attending the awarding of the bids is due to the labor necessary to make a thor ough investigation of each architect s work.
 From reports that reach Prescott from Phoenix, the board is anxious to close the matter of the acceptance of the plans of one of the five archi- tects, in order tha bids for the con- struction of the building may be ad- vertised for immediately, and the work started and completed at the earliest practicable date.
 Governor Sloan is quoted as an en- thusiast on this question, and is sup ported by MT. Riggs, the citizen mem Der, who is also anxious to have the institution up and occupied. Major Doran, who will be the superintendent of the Home, is still in the Capital City, rendering assistance in the dis cussiOn of the plans that is prevail ing.

INVESTIGATING SPENCER
 DEATH Stomach of Ash Fork Man Being Chemically
 Analyzed Many Rumors Are Cur rent Over His Sudden
 Passing
From Saturdays Daily


 Whether there is any foundation for the sensational rumors, which are current in Ash Fork over the sudden death of W. H. Spencer in that town, early this week, will be known when a chemical analysis, now being made at Williams, of the stomach of the deceased man, is concluded. His re- mains had been sent to that town.
 Spencer, previous to his death, had been drinking heavily, it is said, and eoroner's jury at the inquest held following his sudden death, returned a verdict, stating that Spencer had died from heart trouble.
 This verdict was not satisfactory to a number of the friends of the de- ceased, who requested District At torney Ross to conduct an invesriga- tion. As a result instructions were wired by the latter to District At torney Sleeves of Coconino county, authorizing him to have a post nor tenn held.
 It is said that Spencer died in frightful convulsions, and it is said also that this occasioned suspicion among his friends and led to a re- quest that his death be investigated further. Spencer was familiarly known as "Joe Bush.''

A. W. MCASH
 PASSES AWAY

Photographic advices reached the city yesterday that A. W. MeCash, form erly the cashier of the Prescott Ma tional bank, had passed away at Las Cruces, N. M. His death was due to tuberculosis, from which he had been a sufferer for years. He resigned his position with the above bank about two years ago, to seek a change of climatic conditions, removing to New Mexico, where he seemed to be i'm proving, until recently, when a recur- renee of his illness took place.
 While a resident of this city, MT. MeCash made many friends through his genial fellowship and gentlemanly bearing, and regret will follow the news of his death.
 He was aged about thirty-six years, and leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss His brother, I. s. MeCash, a resident of this city, was with him when the end came, as was also his mother, Mrs. F. E. MeCash, who came from Cincinnati, Ohio, a few days before he passed away.
 MT. MeCash was a native of Ohio and when the affliction seized him he came west in the hope that a change of climate would effect a cure Mrs. McCash will be pleasantly re- as an accomplished vocal ist of this city, participating in many entertainments while residing here.

Work to be Begun On This Property Next
 Week
Shipments Will be Made To Shelter At
 Humboldt

Owing to the killing, a few days ago, of 8. H. Anderson, work was ten- porarily suspended on the Silver Butte mining claims in the Thumb Butte district, owned by Sweeney 6 Anderson. Following an adjustment of the affairs of the deceased, which have been made, his son, Albert, be- ing appointed the administrator of the estate, it is now the intention to resume development, and Monday next the camp will again b: under headway.
 H. L. Sweeney, the surviving part ner, in a statement made yesterday, says the property is established, and the amount of rich ore on the dump will aggregate over two ear loads This will be sacked at once and sent to the Humboldt smelter.
 Development will be followed earn estly, and it is the intention to send to the shelter weekly. at least one car load
 Albert Anderson will remain in the country, representing his fathers in- terests at the property. The Silver Butte has very recently come into prominence as a splendid mining prop osition, and with the greatest depth shown in the main shaft the best showing has been made.
 Mir. Sweeney has been interested in the property for years, and while not over-enthusiastic over the outcome of the development, proved his faith by expending considerable capital to place it where it now ranks. He says the company will start to repair the road that travelling aeeommoda- tions will be better, and establish the camp on a permanent basis. He is a practical miner, and will have charge of operations of the future, being assisted in the work by the son of his late partner.

PLANS TO RECLAIM
 RICH VALLEY LAND
(From Fridays Daily.)

E. W. Stephens, deputy assessor,
 has filed upon the water right of
 certain stream flowing through his land in Ferguson Valley, and yester- day made the announcement that he will utilize the same for storage pur poses.
 He proposes to construct a large dam of concrete, and to reclaim 200 acres of rich agricultural land, fol lowing out in this respect the plan that has been successfully demon strated at many other points in the county, in conserving the natural re- sources that are annually going to waste.
 He says that as soon as weather conditions will permit he will build a dam seventy feet wide across the stream, and which will be at least twenty feet high. This size will create a lake from 150 to 400 feet across and back it up the stream for over 600 feet. A big watershed will support this porjeet, and it is MT. Stephens belief that from the amount of water that is flowing down that point on the surface, he will have no trouble in storing a supply that will be abundant for the cultivation of every inch of his land interests.
 Where the stream passes into his land it sinks into the gravel, and where the bedrock appears near that point he proposes to build the con crete dam, the site being very de- sirable one to find an anchor for the project. In addition to the re- claiming of the land, he says the range stock will also receive the ben eft of the water impounded, and this will be valuable when the warm weather comes and the other streams are dried up. He is prompted to make this move through what has been accomplished at many other points in the country and on the ,pen range, where the practice is uni 7ersal, and which is said to be the saviour of the live stock industry, md as well fruitful of results in fertile land that otherwise would remain dormant in production Q any extent.

ASKING
 BULLION RETURNS
Issued Statement to Mining People, With Schedule of Estimates to Be
 Made on Production.
(From Saturdays Daily)

County Assessor Campbell yesterday placed the machinery of his office in motion for the current year. He is- sued a statement of the return or produced bullion for the year 1909, addressing the document to the min CTS of the county. The report is made returnable on or before May I. In making up their report for the current year in gross production the mining interests will be governed by the average value during the year on the New York market, based on the following quotations:
 Silver-51.502.
 Gold-s20.67.
 Copper-12.eS2.
 Lead-4.273.
 Zinc-5.5o3.
 For 1908, the following quotations governed the metal output, which showed a general advance in the price that prevailed, and was as fol- lows:
 Silver-52.864.
 Copper-13.20S.
 Lead-4.20.
 Gold-$2O.67.
 Zine-4726.
 Assessor Campbell estimates that while the quotation price is lower for 1909 than prevailed in 1908, the heavier production in the metals above for the current year will off set, or equalize, the difference in the market quotation that governs the assessment of the output for this years enumeration. In other words, the value is lower for this year, but the production is heavier than in the previous year, especially in copper.
 Accompanying the statement issued by Assessor Campbell is important data that will serve as a guide to the mining people interested, taken from the act passed by the legisla- ture, and from which, the following is taken, and must be- given:
 The name and address of the own CT or lessee.
 The description and location of the mine, mines, mining claim or claims, covered by said statement, giving the name, area, in acres, mining district and county. If there is no mining district established, then the location with relation to the nearest establish ed district.
 The number of tons of ore or other mineral products extracted and treat ed or sold from said mine or mining claims during the period covered by the statement.
 The amount and character of such ores or mineral products and the yield of such ores or mineral products in constituents of commercial value, that is to say, the number of ounces gold, silver, and the number of pounds of copper, lead or other commercially
