DAY EXCURSION IS
 ARRANGED
Hundreds of Residents Of Phoenix Coming
 To Prescott
PEOPLE OF VALLEY DESIRE TO CEMENT GOOD FEELING
 BETWEEN CITIES.
(From Tuesdays Daily

The board of directors of the board of trade will hold a meeting on Monday for the careful consideration of a project for running an excur- sion to Prescott on the 2Sth and 29th. The project is the development of a half dozen different ideas that seem at this time to fit harmoniously together, says the Phoenix Republi can.
 In the first place the board of trade desires to further cement the good feeling between Phoenix and Prescott that was engendered by the recent chamber of commerce exeur- sion from Prescott to Phoenix. It is in way a continuation of the gen, eral policy of "getting together that originated with the Rose special to Parker last winter The chamber of commerce of Prescott is in full accord and moreover it would like to have the Phoenix people who have recently acquired lots in the summer colony, come up and look. the property over, and bring as many more along with them as pos sible. It will then be about time a lot of them will want to begin building also. And as for the rail. road, it is always willing to run an excursion train when the people want to ride.
 General Agent GoldswOrthy took up the matter with General Freight and Passenger Agent P P. Hastings and he conferred with the Prescott chamber of commerce, which in turn has taken the matter up with the Phoenix board. The study of the calendar discloses that the 2Sth is on Saturday. Two days later will be decoration day, which will be a holiday in Prescott, the same as elsewhere. and it will probably be arranged to sell excursion tickets good on the 2sth or 29th with return limit on the 3lst. the next day after the holiday. That will give those who desire it a five-day visit in the pine country. But there will be nothing definite about the excur- sion until after Mondays meeting of the board of trade directors.

(From Thursdays Daily.)

Raymond Carr, representing busi- ness men of the Mohave metropolis, with J. W. Sullivan. John Dial and Nj. Mcbride of Seligman, appeared before the Board of Supervisors yes terday, to have official action taken at the earliest possible time. Three propositions are involved in the move ment, which is assuming very much interest. No action was taken by the Supervisors, but it is probable that after the Mohaye Supervisors meet, there will be favorable cOnsid- eration extended the undertaking, which will involve but 8 limited out lay of public funds.

WHY THE GHOSTS WALK.

The widow of the late David F. Walker one-time president of the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company, has deserted her late hus bands mansion, because, she says, his ghost walks O nights.
 Why should it not walk? We do not believe it does, because any business man who would deliberat- ely allow the people who trusted him to be robbed as David F. Walker did, would not have the conscience to keep his spook a wandering after death. But if he should walk, as his widow intimates, it indicates that even ease-hardened constitu- tiOn cannot withstand the dickens that it gets beyond the grave. If the devil is making David F. Walker move around lively in his grave clothes, the devil is a much better person than anyone had a right to expect.
 But is the widow of Walker not mistakenl Has she ever tried to in- quire of the spoOky visitors at San Mateo whether they were not the uneasy spirits of the men who com mitted suicide because of the loot ing of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. How can they walk at ease or play their heavenly harps in harmony when they realize that Walter Barnett has gone free, that the Treadwell prosecution has been a farce. and that J. Dalzell Brown has been permitted to escape justice because of friendship with men of high degreeY Dalzell Browns little few months in the penitentiary, half the time of which he spent in automobiling around San Francisco in the congenial company of pleasant deputy sheriffs, can not be sufficient to lay any decent ghost.
 And the poor depositors whom these men robbed starved to death or went mad or killed themselves.
 The dear Lord knows it was a seandalous thing. But what are you going to do about it! There is no doubt that the California Safe De- posit and Trust Company was loot ed. There is no doubt in the world The evidence piled up in the courts of San Francisco proved that.
 And no one has been punished ex- cept fat, little Dalzell Brown, and his sentence was grossly inadequate
 We do not wonder that ghosts walk in the house of the president of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The wonder is that the devil does not appear in person and fire and birthstone lend their aid to the scenery and the smell.

FINAL PAYMENT IS
 MADE ON MINES
(From Sunday's DaiIy.)

Yesterday the final payment of 5000 was made by the Tiger Gold Company to P. Kearney, for the lat ter's interests in the Gray Eagle and Cleveland mines, in the Brad shaw Mountains, which aggregates S6O. 900 paid for these properties to date The original deal dates back to 1905, when the company assumed charge MT. Kearney was the own CT of a one-half interest in each mine, and had been associated with their development for many years prior to their operation by the pur- chasing company. This transaction removes, all pioneer owners and MT. Kearney is the last to retire from ownership. Both mines are at pres ent under development and more at traetive than at any time in their history. The Gray Eagle lode is among the oldest locations in the Bradshaw region and has always en- joyed high standing in mining circles.

accessory shops in the valley below Jerome, and put the building of a railroad through the Verde valley on the shelf indefinitely. That the Santa Fe railroad people and the Frank Murphy interests are working and working necessarily to bring this about, The News has positive evi- denee from the best of authority.
 The Santa Fe has proposed that they construct a branch from Yaeger station on their Bradshaw Mountain branch, to Russell station on the United Verde & Pacific Railway, and in this do away with the haul up the heavy grade from Junction to Russell, and also do away with the most costly piece of road the |. V. & P. has to keep up. The laying of track from Yaeger to Russell would be easy, there being no grades to overcome, as by reference to the map of that country can be seen.
 Again the proposition of running standard guage road to the U. V mine by tunneling the mountain in the neighborhood of what is known as the Horseshoe" on the Je- rome road, has been approached. All know that the tunnel proposition has been under consideration for years by the local railroad officials.
 The splendid system of railroad facilities at the Humboldt smelter, where all parts of the works are reached by a perfect system of switehbaeks already built; the fact that the necessary Aux for reducing Jerome ores are close at hand; that the mines owned by the Humboldt company are developing ore bodies that, while not of high grade, vet when worked in connection with the Jerome ores would give net returns, as well as the water proposition are all being held out as inducements
 In fact the Santa Fe is making every effort to take the Jerome shelter to Humboldt. and if success ful in doing so, will also succeed in delaying the building of a railroad through the valley east of Jerome. for an indefinite time

CHANGE IS MADE
 AT HUMBOLDT SHELTER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 While in the city yesterday from Humboldt. annouhcement was made by A. H. Wethey, general manager of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Co.,, that D. T. Matthews of Butte, Montana, had been appointed super and would assume charge immediate ly. The change is interesting and important, from the fact that Mir. Matthews, many years ago was asso- eiated with Thomas Taylor, of the United Verde Copper Company at Jerome, in Montana, and this will be the first time in over a decade both have been in the same mineral coun- try engaged in similar work.
 Mir. Matthews assumes the responsi- ble position at Humboldt equipped with many years of practical exper- fence in copper smelling, and was associated with MT. Wethey when the latter was general manager of the large interests of W. A. Clark in Montana.
 MT. Wethey arrived recently from tie east on business incidental to his position and will return to Hum boldt tomorrow to continue his inves- legations. He will remain for sev- eral days before returning to New York, where the main offices are located.

PRESCOTT DOCTOR
 IGNORED BY GOVERNOR.
CFrom Sundays Daily)

When the International Congress on Hygiene and Demography con venes in Washington. D. C., on Sep. tember 20, there will be in attend ance from Arizona the following dele. gates, who have been designated by Governor Sloan, as the representa-, tives of Arizona, the appointments being made Wednesday:
 Dr. C. E. Godfrey, territorial health officer; Dr. Ancil Martin of Phoenix; Dr. F. F.. Shine of Bisbee; Dr. C. F.. Yount of Prescott and Dr. W. " Whitmore of Tucson.
 The object of the congress is to extend the knowledge and improve the practice of hygiene, public health and vital statistics in the countrie, that participate. The Congress on Hygiene and Demography represents the leading thought of all civilized nations in connection with those sub, iects and all that they stand for The last one was held in Berlin in 1907. The above appointments were made from list of fourteen sub mitted, Arizona being entitled to only five.

Jerome appears to be excited over the prospects for removal of the United Verde Copper Company s smelter from that city to Humboldt and the matter is the subject of much discussion in that town and the Verde valley. Many believe that the Santa Fe railroad is making an effort to have the plant removed to Humboldt, and if successful, will also succeed in delaying the building of railroad into the Verde valley from the east indefinitely.
 Commenting on the situation the last issue of the Jerome Mining News says:
 Of interest to Jerome is the fact that D. T. Matthews of Butte, Mont, has been appointed superintendent of the Humboldt shelter, and is now in charge of those works. As an nOunced in The News a few weeks Der of years associated in Montana with the present successful superin- tendent of the United Verde Copper Company's smelter in this camp, Mir. Thomas Taylor, who speaks of MT. Matthews being a smelterman of ex- eeptional ability.
 After installing MT. Matthews as superintendent, General Manager Wethey of the Humboldt Company left for New York City, where the beaduarters of that company are To- cated.
 The fact that Mir. Wethey had for years been general manager of the Clark interests in Montana, has undoubtedly given color to the re- port that Mir. Clark was about to take over the Humboldt shelter with all its holdings in the way of mines.
 If this should happen, and The News, while it does not think such a thing is probable, yet cannot close its eyes to the possibility of such a move, it would mean the smelting of all of the United Verde ores at Humboldt, where Senator Clark could erect an immense modern smelt- CT. This would, of course, do away with the building of a smelter and

that any effort to commend him to

be useless as he is so well and fa-
yorably known all over the district.
We all know that by dint of his

county larm and his early manhood
years were spent in teaching coun'
yry schools. Realizing there was
something higher IN life for him
he began the study Of law and

was admitted to the bar. In that
profession he has risen rapidly in
