POPULAR MINER
 CLAIMED BY DEATH
(From WednesdaY,s DailvN

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Letters received in Prescott yester- day from St. Helena. Cal. brought the sad news that Lawrence Martin passed away there recently, eatarrh of the stomach being the fatal malady. The death of this popular man, who until a few years ago was a resident of this county, and resided at Me Cabe. takes away another stalwart pioneer and one of the most valuable of citizens. He came to Arizona in 1875. locating at Tombstone, where he was associated with others in mining Later he came to this section, lOeat- ing finally at McCabe. and where he acquired mining interests. Of a quiet and unassuming nature, his fidelity to a trust and his firm friendship gave him fellowship that will en- dure for time. His death will be deeply dePIored by the many that knew him best. The afflictiOn that ultimately proved fatal, was acquired while he was miner and to relieve which medical skill was unavailing.
 Mir. Martin was a native of County Galway. Ireland, and was 56 years old. He is survived by several rela- tives residing in San Francisco. He was interested in farming lands and mining claims near Parker, leaving that country a few months ago to seek change of climate on account of failing health.

HIGH GRADE ORE
 READY FOR MARKET
(From Fridays Daily.)

NENO- ~%J-l
 While in the city yesterday from the camp of the Yavapai Metals Mining company, R. B. Stanland, su- perintendent, and George MeGarvey, stoekholder. state that another ear load of high grade copper ore is on the dump. and would be shipped to Humboldt beginning on Monday. This will be the third ear shipped in the past four months, and is of exception al interest from the fact that it Is the highest grade that has ever been produced in the mine, running to 4s per cent in copper, with small gold values. and comes from the deepest workings also. MT. Stanland, yester- day, in speaking of the development. states that the main shaft is down 23O feet. and the grade of ore is rich CT than has ever before been known in the property, with the vein strong CT and showing better indications of permaneney.
 Following this shipment, limited work will be carried on owing to the installing of large hoist, and the disearding of the whim, which is i'm practicable owing to the depth. Nessrs. Stanland and MeGarvey give publicity that when returns are re- eeived from this shipment, not cent of indebtedness will be outstanding, and there will be a healthy surplus in the treasury. The property has been paving from the grass roots. and although development to present depth has been expensive, this remarkable showing is of more than usual interest.
 The Yavapai Metals property is To- cated about six miles east of Hum boldt. and to the northeast of Mayer, in zone that never attracted any attention until development brought it into prominence within the last six months.

It has been the cornerstone of our glorious free gov ernment in which the delights of the individual and of the minority have been preserved while governmental action of the majority has last noth- ing of the beneficient progress, eff cacy and directness This balance was planned in the constitution by it's framers and has been maintained by our independent judiciary. Preeedents are cited from state constitutions said to be equivalent to popular recall. In some. judges are removed by a vote of both houses of the legislature
 This is a mere adoption of the British address of plea to the crown for the removal of judges. It is similar to impeachment in that affirmative part ing is always granted. Such a provi- sion forms no precedent for a popular recall without adequate hearing and defense and with new candidates to contest the election It is said that the recall will be rarely used. If so, it will rarely be needed. Then why adopt the system so full of danger, but it is a mistake to suppose that

 OSCAR UNDERWOOD"
 The same inspiration that suddenly aetuated some of the Prescott Demo crats, seems to have seized the mem bers of the party at Phoenix for on Wednesday, bunch of them forward ed the following message to the lead CTS of the senate and the house:
 "The undersigned Democrats of Arizona, in view of the Presidents veto of statehood, earnestly request the Democrats of both houses friendly to our admission into the union, to immediately urge such an emergency measure as may be available to eer- tainly secure statehood for Arizona before the adjournment of the present session. Great interests of a tram meled people plead with you for such speedy relief. Those who tell YOU that Arizonans do not want statehood without the recall of judges totally misrepresent the majority of our party and the people; are not representative Democrats. but are Republicans by record and relations; and have no honest interest in securing Statehood.
 "The real Democrats of Arizona de- sire statehood above all things and beg you not to postpone or sacrifice our interests therein by insistence upon a single detail of government that can be fully and independently dealt with after statehood is granted.
 "Assuring you of ou- profound thanks for your efforts already made in our behalf, we will be forever grate ful if this request can now be aehiev- ed by your action before the present session is coneluded.''
 The "Republieans" referred to in the foregoing is the Akers clique who have forfeited the right to bear the honored name of the party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Mckinley and Roose- welt. It is apparent that the self Democrats of Phoenix re- fuse to swallow these renegades.

TOM REED SHIPS BAR
 OF GOLD BULLION
(Mohave County Miner)

AMOndNt tOuulN MlHeE
 Last Monday B. L. Lunceford. as sistant superintendent of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company. brought in a bar of bullion that weighed S55.000 the clean up for the last 24 days The bar was one of the hand some chunks of gold that this com pany has formed the habit of ship ping to the United States mint at San Francisco. MT. Lunceford re- ports that the mine is showing up good ore in the lower levels and that enough of the rich stuff is in sight to keep the big mill pounding away for a year or more. The mine also has thousands of tons of ore running more than SIG in gold values that will be later extracted when larger milling facilities are provided.
 Report comes from the Ruth mine that the drift now being carried east from the 100 level of the No. l shaft is showing an ore body fourteen feet wide of good milling ore. The open. ing of this ore body has been a sur prise and a source of much gratifica- ton to the management, and indicates that the development of the property may have many more such surprises.
 This week C. D. Richardson came to Kingman and took back with him crew of men to begin the sinking of the main shaft on the property another 100 feet below the present level. The boys are already at work and expect to drive the shaft down as fast as the big drills can do the work. With the big eompressors in eommis- sion work throughout the mine is showing satisfactory results

ASSAULTS WIFE
 WHO SEEKS TO FLEE

The abiding respect for womankind and the love of fair play maintained by Arizonans last night narrowly missed causing a tragedy when the Santa Fe train from Ash Fork. arriv- ing here shortly before midnight. drew into Skull Valley. It restored to a mother her little daughter. who was about to be taken by force Irom the shielding arms of the woman. The father of the child was the as- sailant and by physical force he was attempting to gain possession of mo- ther and child. By physical force ne was restrained by passengers on the train and the woman and girl were sent on their way to their home at Swansea. A son of the couple, siding with his father, stood by with a shot gun during the melee which resulted in the illustration of the mans at tempt to outrage his wife by forcing her into a life of shame, but he was too young to realize the situation and was easily overawed by the show of force made by the passengers.
 The affair occurred at the station at Skull Valley, where, as the train pulled to a stop. E. L. Baird was in the act of dragging his wife by her hair from the platform.
 The male portion of the passengers at once declared itself in the game and bought chips to the extent of its last individual. The attack was halt ed and then council of war was held.
 It appears that the man came to Arizona with his wife seventeen years ago from Kansas, where they were married Some time ago they separ- ated, the woman, with her daughter, securing a position as cook in the mining camp of Swansea, while the father, with his son, went to work as a miner at the Mckinley mine, three miles from Iron Springs.

such a powerful lever for influencing judicial decisions and such an oppor. tunity for vengeance because of ad, verse ones, will be allowed to remain unused.
 But it is said that the people of Arizona are to become an independent state when created and even if we strike out the judiciary recall they can incorporate it in their constitution after statehood.
 To this I would answer, that in dealing with the courts, which are the cornerstone of good government and which not only the voters but the non-vOters and non-residents have a deep interest as a society for their rights of life. liberty and property, no matter what the future action of the state may be, it is necessary for the authority which is primarily res pOnsible for its creation to assert in no doubtful tones the necessity for an independent and untrammeled judiciary.

 As a result of a Democratic confer ence held Wednesday night in the Lawler block. eight telegrams were sent that evening to Senators and Representatives urging them to use every effort to pass statehood bill providing for the elimination of the judiciary recall from the Constitution. These telegrams which were sent to four leading members of the senate and to four of the house were signed by J. P. Dillon and J. H. Robinson upon the authority of those present at the meeting. Henry F. Ashurst was not in attendance as he was busy with some clients from Flagstaff, but he was shown the telegram and he en- dorsed the action that had been talk en. Judge C. P. Hicks, however, en- phatieally registered his protest against the procedure, and it is re- ported that he said that such action if taken at all should haze been long ago, and that to act at this late hour, would only make capital for the Re Pubicans.
 News of the conference and its re- suit caused quite a sensation yester- day in political circles and some Dem oerats who had not been invited to participate in the deliberations but who consider themselves as prominent Tn the party, were outspoken in their denuneiation of what had been done. or rather they were opposed to the dilatOry feature of it.
 4 telegram of similar import. and likewise approving of the elimination of the recall feature, was sent to Senators Bourne, LaFOllette and Owen signed by NJ. G. Cunniff and Homer R. Wood in the capacity of officials of the Yavapai County Statehood League. C. P. Hicks is or was secre- tary of this organization but his name was not appended to the dispatch. Last evening Mir.

 At the preliminary examination yes terday of George w. Anderson, aeeus- ed of stealing horse from Colin Campbell of Ash Fork in July, the de- fendant was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of 5000. which he was unable to furnish. Anderson, in a pitiable manner, related his misfOr- tunes. specifying that his age of 73 years, and his physical infirmities, with the additional fact that he pur- chased the animal from a stranger in Coeonino county, should give him the benefit of any doubt as being a horse thief He told a pitiable story, but when his escape from Sheriff Smith was mentioned. in which he showed very much agility for three days and nights in evading that officer, Ander- son weakened and was unable to make his play impress Judge MeLane as he so earnestly desired. He travelled un- der aliases. and his horse deal had many missing links, according to his own version of the transaction.

 John Simpsons mining camp on
 Upper Humbug creek was practically
 devastated of everything of value last
 week, it is alleged, by a hobo miner
 named Kimball, who was passing
 through the country. After rounding
 up two burros near by, both were load
 ed with blankets. clothing, provisions,
 cooking utensils. and ther articles,
 after which he started to leave the country. MT. Anderson was at work on his mines near by, and reaching
 his camp in the evening was startled to see what was in evidence in the house. The scene was a trying one, in view of the fact that he had noth
 ing to eat after a hard days work, and it was several miles to his near est neighbor The next day he start ed out to intercept the thief, but was unsuccessful in cutting the trail. Kim ball took the old Tiptop route, and was heading for the north. After the second day, Simpson got on the trail, and in the evening of the third day located his man in camp in Black Canyon, the discovery taking place through the two burros who were found grazing The return was then undertaken to Simpsons camp, with in custody. Telephone com with Sheriff Smith of this city was established from the Pacific mining camp, when Kimball eunningly hi. eaptor and made a hasty exit. taking to the ravines.

Last nights session of the Chamber of Commerce might truly be called an automobile fest as most of the business transacted was in reference to good roads and automobiles.
 Perhaps the most important of these items was the consideration of protest from the residents of the Pine Crest Addition who begged of the Chamber of Commerce that that body take some step. toward the protection of children living in the Addition from the careless driving of automObilists who use the Murphy Drive.
 The Chamber of Commerce .signi. fled its desire to prevent, if possible any repetition of these offences and requested that all drivers bear in mind that the road is a private high way and that automobilists are per mitted to use it only through the courtesy of the owners of the road Therefore it was resolved that all drivers be requested to drive slowly and sound their alarms while pass ing through the colony.
 H. D. Aitken, Secretary of the Prescott Auto Club was requested to notify all automobile owners that the Chamber of Commerce, if necessary, would make an effort to force auto mobile drivers to use due caution while driving through the matchless Pine Crest Addition.
