INSURANCE RATES
 FOR PRESCOTT REDUCED
(From Wednesdays Daily ,


 ApropOs of the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to get a reduc- tion of fire insurance rates for the city of Prescott, J. NJ. w. Moore & Son have been advised that an i'm portant ruling applying to Prescott has just been published by the Rate Board
 This ruling permits brick merean- tile buildings, occupied exclusively for mercantile, office, lodge or pub lie hall (withOut seenery), hotel or dwelling purposes, to be insured for three years at twice the annual rate, provided a 70 per cent reinsurance clause is made part of the policy. Heretofore dwellings, public buildings and farm property were the only classes that could be written for longer than one year at a time, and the new rule should mean a consider able saving on insurance in the busi- ness part of town, especially to those who are already insured up to 70 per cent or more of the value of their buildings. Those who are not will have to increase the amount carried. or carry part of their own insurance. to get the benefit of the rule, but will find it an advantage to get larger protection for practically the same price.

(Mining Review.)

(Mining Review.)
 MT. Neil NJ. Macdonald. who has been manager of the machinery sales department of Fairbanks, Morse & Co.,, for the last eight years, passed into the infinite realm of Spirit on last Wednesday morning, at nine. His demise was attributed to heart trouble by the physician in attend ance, and occurred after several months illness. MT. Macdonald had q pleasing personality and genial smile which won for him many friends throughout the great Southwest. He resided with his wife and three children in a cOzy little nome on West Thirty-ffth street, in this city.
 Mr Macdonald was a native of Scotland, but a thorough American. He fathered and practically develop ed to its present state of perfection stamp mill which is now well known in many parts of the mining world. To his energy. ability and personality is due in large measure the success of the department of the firm he represented. His jurisdiction extended over Southern California, Southern Nevada, Arizona and the states of Sonora and Sinaloa, in Mexico. Perhaps nothing will ex- press better the esteem and admira- ton which his associates held for him, than the words of a member of the house with which he was con nected: "We loved and respected him. He was pet with the firm and to us all was familiarity known as Mac. y Mir. Macdonald was a member of the Sierra Madre Club.

PRETTY ROMANCE
 HAS HAPPY CLIMAX
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 One of the prettiest weddings that has been sOlemnized recently in this city was that of yesterday afternoon, when the romance of other days was gracefully ehrystallized into the union of Miss Alice Burhans and Frank G. BOtkins at the parsonage of the Baptist church, in this city, Rev. H. E. Marshall performing the pleas ant ceremony. The bride deserves special consideration in this nuptial event, from the fact that she trav- eled all the way from her old home in Reynolds county, Missouri, to wed the man of her choice. after long separation, while on the other hand the cOnstancy of the groom was firm ly cemented in a faithful remem- branee of the day when they both plighted their troth. Mrs BOtkins is of one of the leading families of her home city, and personally is en- deared for her charming and vivac- ious manners. MT. Botkins is with the Wingfield mercantile house at Camp Verde, and with frugal habits is also filling a responsible position. A few of their intimate friends were present at the wedding. They will leave today for their future home at Camp Verde, and the occasion will be fttingly celebrated upon their ar rival with a reception and dance.

BUREAU REPORTS ON
 ARIZONA PROGRESS
Department of Commerce and Labor Issues Statement Showing Increase
 Of Manufactures Since 1904

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 24. A preliminary statement of the general results of the census of manufactures for the territory of Ari- zona was issued today by Census Director Durand. It consists of a summary comparing the figures for 1904 and 1909 by territory totals, prepared under the direction of MT. William NJ. Steuart, chief statisti- elan for manufactures, Bureau of the Census
 Steam laundries are given sep arate presentation because the Thir- teenth Census was the first in which they were canvassed, and therefore there are nc statistics for prior cen suses with which these totals can be compared.
 The figures are preliminary and subject to such change and correction as may be found necessary from a further examination of the original reports.
 The Thirteenth Census, like that of 1901, with reference to manufae- lures. differs from the Twelfth Cen GUS, in 1900, in that the two later censuses excluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neigh borhood industries, and took account only of establishments conducted un- der the factory system. In the last census. also, as in that for 1904, statistics were not collected for fac tories having a product for the cen sus year of value less than $500. except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a portion of the year 1909, or which began operation during that year, and whose products for such reason were less than $500.
 The word establishment as used In the Thirteenth Census may mean more than one mill or plant, pro glded they are owned or controlled and operated by a single individual, partnership, corporation, or other owner or operator, and are located 5D the same town or city.
 The reports were taken for the calendar year ending December 31, 1909, wherever the system of book Keeping permitted figures for that period to be secured, but where the fiscal year of an establishment diff fered from the calendar year re- port was obtained for the operations of that establishment for its fiscal year falling most largely within the calendar year 1909
 Industries operated under govern mental control are excluded from the census, and therefore the statistics xOT Arizona do not include the ex- 6ensive cement works operated by the Federal Government in connection

amounted to $6,2s2 ,OOO, and in 1904 to S4.441 GOO, an increase of S1,S41,- 900, or fl per cent.
 In 1909 the numDer of salaried of ficials and clerks was 496, and in 1904, 291, an increase of 205, or 70 per cent.
 The average number of wage earners increased from 4,793 in 1904 to 6,4l5 in 1909, an increase of 1922, or 34 per cent.

NEW EQUIPMENT. OF PACIFIC IS
 INSTALLED
Sinking of Main Shaft Again Being Pushed
 With Vigor
From Saturdays Daily)

'
 Development at the works of the Pacific Copper Mining Company on Silver Mountain has again assumed normal conditions, after a temporary delay in installing one of the larg- est and best equipped operating plants in the county, is the report received in this city. Three shifts are at work The new equipment is an unqualified success, and every de- partment is working satisfactorily. The improved methods adopted in mechanical service with expenditures kindred to facilitate economical op- eration oeeasioned the outlay of nearly $4O,OOO, from which an ioes may be formed of the attractive mineral conditions established to warrant this heavy disbursement. This disposition of such a sum is also significant and interesting, from the fact that the undertaking is still in the development stage, treat ment of the ores being. of secondary consideration. The equipment con- sists of an so horse power vertical gas engine, which propels a 4-drill compressor, a 2O-kilowat generator that runs the pumping plants and furnishes the lights on the surface and underground, a 40-horse power hoist, and other appliances. In ad- ditiOn the company has erected new bunk house to accommodate 30 miners, with another under headway, a boarding house for sixty men, a new office and residence, blacksmith shop, gallOws frame, A feet in height, engine house, comfortable dry room for miners in wet work, and number of other accommodations, making one of the best and most complete services of any mining camp in the county.
 Sinking the main shaft from the old workings on the 300 is now un- der way. A vertical depth of 100 feet additional has been reached, and it is estimated that when 30 more feet is sunk, the vein that was cut on the 300 will interseet the shaft. It was at this point in the develop ment where the best showing ever made was established, and from which the best values were obtained. So pleased were the many stockholders over the splendid determinations made, that it was deemed expedient to equip the proposition as above, and to follow large operations with out regard to the expense. One of the most active camps in the Brad shaw region is now under way, ana mining men eonversant with under ground conditions speak in splendid terms of the outlook of the Pacific interests.
 John Kelly, president; c. W. Nit ehell, general manager; and W. A. Moses, a stoekholder; are expected to arrive tomorrow from Mexico, for an extended visit at the works.

RICH DISCOVERY IN
 LITTLE DAISY MINE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

AIioul 4uuLsudN ' DdllN-l Confirmation of the reported big strike made last Sunday night in the Little Daisy mine at Jerome, was ob- tained yesterday afternoon from l.. E. Whicher. president of the United Verde Extension Mining company, | who arrived direct from the works, and without question, he states, it is the most important determination that has ever been made in the his tory of the proposition. MT. Whieher in freely expressing himself. says that a five foot body of copper glance the east drift, and sample assays gave results that reached to praetie- ally 30 per cent in copper, with nom inal values in gold and silver. This body of ore was astounding to him and associates from its mineralogieal character, and occurring at a time while several of the officers and stockholders were en route from the East to make their annual examina- tiOn of the property, is a peculiarly pleasing occurrence. By way of a coincidence, he says that on March 17, 1910, he received adviees of the discovery of the first big ore bodies in the Daisy, while in the East, and is now firmly eemented to the belief that March is a Hateful month in the life of the enterprise. The discovery has also created considerable discus sion in Jerome mining circles, and a repetition of sentiment was prevail ing when the initial discovery was made over one year ago.
 He also states that the good show ing on the 700 foot level is not the only favorable one, mentioning spe- officially what has been developed on the 500 foot level in a winze sunk 70 feet, where a good grade of py- ritie ores is established. In fact, the general outlook was never so eneour- aging or attended with such attract i've conditions as are in evidence at all points.
 Speaking of the purpose of the company to begin shipping ore, he says that the smelter ot the Clara Consolidated at Swansea is to blow in on April 18th, and eoineident with that event his company is ready to ship twenty-five tons of ore daily, and to maintain that volume for treatment.
 In the Daisy party that arrived yesterday. in addition to MT. Which CT. are c. c. Burger of New York, consulting engineer, and a frequent visitor; Henry Sachs of Colorado Springs, Colo, a director; Chas. B. Strieeker of Boston. of the Boston Financial News; Stephen R. Dow of Boston. a stockholder, of the Boston Stock Exchange, and T. A. Warden, superintendent. With the exception of Mir. Warden, they left last night for their respective homes.

CITIZENS RALLY TO
 MAINTAIN GUARDSMEN
From Wednesdays Daily)


 A large and influential gathering from all parts of Yavapai county as- sembled at Dougherty's Hall, last night to do honor to ten men of Company E, N. G. A., who nave term mated their three years enlistment.
 While it has not been learned how the ten Guardsmen stood toward re enlistment, Captain Mitchell, in an appeal to the citizens of Prescott and Yavapai county, stated that an additional enlistment of twenty men at this time is imperative if the ex- istenee of Company E is to be main tained, and that an enlistment of thirty-seven is required to place the company on a war footing.
 Captain Mitchell said that the du- ties required of men in tnis branch of the service, though onerous, and demanding the best the young eiti- zens possessed in patience, manhood and patriotism, were not such that any able bodied, strong minded young American need fear; that it would be a blot on the fair eseuteheOn of Prescott. fairest of Arizona cities, if the company were disbanded. He felt sure, he deelaired, that Prescott tonians would rally to the rescue and that the necessary complement might easily be secured by means of the citizens of the city presenting solid, united front to that end. He then presented Attorney LeROy An dersOn, who was the first captain of Company E.
 MT. Anderson made a stirring ap- peal to the patriotism and civic spirit of his tOwnsmen. saying that he knew what the service meant, and that it fitted young men for better performance of their duties to their fellOwmen, as it taught self-reliance and self-possession. He said the pro- posed encampment of the First Regi ment here meant $4O,OOO to the city, besides the good fellowship it pro- noted among the soldiers from diff ferent cities, and urged that Com pany F. be strengthened.
 Dr. Yount, of the regimental staff, seconded the remarks of the previous speakers. He reminded young men that, after taking the degrees in discipline demanded by the Guards mans oath, they would attain a de- velopment in the discipline of life which no other three years in their career offered.
 Harry Heap. who followed, suggest ed that committee. to be chosen from among the representative eiti- zens, canvass the young men of Pres colt, asking that they enlist and that the Chamber of Commerce, at its meeting, Thursday night, discuss with a committee from Company E such l as might seem best to insure i the desired result.
 An athletic program of rare merit was witnessed, under the director of Physical Instructor Prof. Jack Me Mahn, after which refreshments were dispensed.

THE COTTON MARKET
is RATHER SLUGGISH
Speculation is listless with
Prices Irregular.
EAST INDIA CROP
A MiLLiON SHORT


inair, IN Which Most oi the People
are iii an EXpcatant Attitude Await
ing Something TO Turn Up To send
the NaIAct Up or Down.
Speculation in cotton last week was
listleSs and confined for the most
part TO professional operators. Ir-
regularity of prices has been notice
able, but on the whole quotations
have been pretty we'll sustained, de-
spite certain amount Of bearish sen
timent among commission houses
who have been impressed by the con-
tinued largeness of the movement of
the crop to market, the sluggishncss
Of trade and the Indifference of the
outside public to the speculation at or
near to the l5-cent level. There has
been a fear, too, that the next ginning
report may be rather bearish, showing
a larger total than most people had
been led to expect. Also the New
York certificatod stock continues rap
idly to increase and some regard it as
a standing menace to the market. Not
Il few spectators long of the market
have sold out in disgust owing to the
nprclGIpnI nf l,n Il,
ton.
Now and then stop orders have been
encountered. Liverpool, New Orleans,
Wall street and local traders have
sold. On the other hand, however,
the Liverpool spot sales have been
large enough to indicate that foreign
spinners were buying there with a
certain freedom. Lancashire's trade
is active at firm quotations. Greek
interests usually we'll informed insist
that the East Indian crop is 10000
bales smaller than that of last year.
The Bombay receipts certainly show
a noteworthy reduction thus far this
season. Spot quotations at the South
have been on the whole quite steady.
Very large spot interests and spin
ners have been among the buyers Of
futures here. Spinners have also
been buying futures here on any re-
cession. AT times the receipts at the
ports have fallen off noticeably. This
was attributed to cold weather, but
there are those who believe that be-
fore long the decrease will be at once
permanent and sharp. 1t is argued
by not few that there is no surplus
of cotton at the South weighing upon
the market. Exports have been lib
eral and they are expected to reach
a large total during January. Very
tive interests have given support to
he market from time to time.
1t is believed by many that trade i'm
1911 will show considerable improve
ment over that of 1910 in conjunction
with an Improvement in general bust
ness, of which they think they see
signs already
But fer the moment it must be con
fessed that the cotton market is
languid affair in which the majority
of people are waiting for something
new to develop. The public is plainly
loath to embark in aggressive bull
speculation at l5 cents unless some
thing new shall appear to give them
greater confidence, or until the bulls
demonstrate their ability to put the
price up sharply and keep it up and
advance it to higher and higher
levels.
