wrong. Any honest, or even dis honest, difference of opinion, may re- suit in a petition for the officer s recall, or at least an election held for that purpose.
 "Any trumped up charge, true or untrue, is sufficient, if you file a petition with 25 per cent of the vot- ers' names attached to it.
 "The first recall is paid for by the people. If a big corporation or moneyed men are after the official s scalp, they can put up money for one recall after the other as long as they can file petitions. The poor man cannot afford one campaign after an- other, and even if he is right, he must eventually give up the fight for lack of money.
 "This is in reality the square deal that is being boosted as a great boon to the poor man. This is the cure all that is supposed to make all men honest.
 ct lays open the way for the moneyed interests to either make men vote their way or put them on the rack until they are useless to their constituents.
 "The average man knows how easily he is induced to sign a petition. He will do so nine times out of ten without knowing it's contents.
 "NO official ever pleases every one; the best of them fail to do that, and yet this recall puts it in the power of a few to break a good man if he does not do their bidding."

Jerome Junction
CORRESPONDENCE

JEROME JUNCTION, Ariz., Jan. 23.-Messrs. Mutchler, Swiger and Scott are in receipt of several hun dred fruit trees, comprising many varieties, and the aforesaid gentle men nave industriously labored, the past week in the task of settling the new arrivals in the finest soil on earth.
 MT. and Mrs. Hugh Burns are now comfortably domieiled on their home stead. With blowing, fencing, etc, MT. Burns manages to keep pretty busy.
 Bob Taylor has plowed and harrow ed several acres of his choicest land, and now awaits the coming of May and the dark of the moon to plant his crop.
 Larry Little's place, north of the Junction, begins to assume propor- tions, and a neat little house on the homestead looms up against the per speetive.
 The Junction has several ambitions, and the wholesale raising of turkeys is one of them. Prescott may look for some nice, fat birds from this section for winter consumption.
 Will Burns eontemplates searify- ing the face of nature with a blow, shortly, and calculates that the weather man mas a kindly eye on the dry farmers of 1911.
 Business is pretty good about the station, these days, and the Santa Fe and Verde freight men are hand ling quite a lot of business.
 Modern farming implements, disc harrows and the like, add to the pas toral scene, and the slogan of the dry farmer is, blow early and often.
 MT. and Mrs. J. T. Nelson were Prescott visitors, yesterday.
 MT. Johnson has erected a nice lit tie bungalow on his place, west of town, and will delve into the soil and watch lem grow.
 More people coming in, right along, and they all say they are sorry they hadn't been here long before.
 The weather has had its effect on the automobile traffic and several parties took a little whirl over the loop, visiting the Junction, Sunday.

COPPER JACKET HAS SPLENDID
 SHOWING
From Tuesday's Daily)

Samples of ore from the Copper Jacket group, on exhibition at Linn's jewelry store, in this city with reports received, recently, are attracting general interest among mining men, giving that proposition considerable interest This property is owned by the Yavapai Metals, Mining and Reduction company, com posed of a few practical miners, and first came into consideration a few weeks ago by the heavy returns re- ceived from smelter treatment at Humboldt. At that time many min CTS who visited the camp and exam ined the ground were enthusastie, and following their observations there was quite a rush to the new field. The Copper Jacket mines are not new properties, but for several months have been operated by their three owners. As depth was gained the possibilities grew encouraging, and it is the belief of competent miners who have inspected the deeper points that it will open into a good producer.
 In order to gain a definite idea of the actual merits of the group, George Oakman, who visited the camp last week and returned yesterday, is enthusiastic over the outlook, and firmly of the belief that the group is all that has been claimed for it. Speaking from observation, he says that the mines are situated about seven miles east of Humboldt, and three miles northeasterly from Stod- dard, on the Agua Fria. The form ation is a metamorphic granite and diorite, while the geological makeup of the ore bodies is a porphyritie diorite. As depth has been reached the values in copper and gold have increased, and in the shaft, 93 feet deep, copper of 24 per cent, $3.s0 in gold and $2.05 in silver is returned. Some assays ran to as high as 41 per cent in copper, Ss in gold and S2.97 in silver. In the leached ores ? per cent in copper, and gold and silver ores were found.
 Mr. Oatman also says that the sys- tenn is well prospeeted, and surface showings at all places re decidedly attractive, and where deeper develop ment has been given the ore bodies are strong and there is every indiea- tion that the proposition is a perm anent one.

It is no time to deal in vicious po- litical personalities The welfare of Arizona hangs on the decision of the people regarding the Constitution on February 9th. President Taft has made his position known. That po- sition was known to Congress before the provision submitting the Consti- tuition to the President for his ap- proval or disapprOval was placed in the Enabling Act. The President, himeslf judge of the highest char aeter, believes the proposed recall of the judiciary is vicious, and so be- lieving, also believed that to ap- prove such a provision in the Ari- zona Constitution would stultify himself His opinion is also the opinion of the big leaders in the United States Senate. That is the condition which eonfronts Arizona.

From Tuesday's Daily)

Thumb Butte as a tomb, was the grastly revelation of Sunday after noon, when two young men of this city, Roy Richards and Henry Brink meyer, Jr., made the discovery of the dead body of a man in one of the deep crevices of that familiar landmark. So stupefied and astound ed were they, that after a few minutes observation, and after en. deavoring to ascertain whether the man was injured or not, and satis. flying themselves that life was ex. tinet, hurriedly left the scene and gave the alarm in this city. Yes terday morning, acting on the well connected statement, Judge .MeLane accompanied by Lester Rufner, un. dertaker, and a eoroner's jury, left the city for the butte.
 Arriving at the place, and after considerable trouble, they reached the pinnacle of the high mountain, and found the corpse, as represented. They were also shocked that evi- dence gave the cause as suicide, a pistol being found lying by the side of the body. The sight was ghastly made so by the method adopted by the unfortunate to close his earthly career, surrounded as he was with the horror of the place and the se- lection of a sepulehre that was all but closed to human vision. After viewing the remains from a height of over thirty feet, into the crevice on a ragged ledge of rocks, to reach the body was a perplexing question To descend with their shoes on was fatal, SO it was decided to remove the footwear and go down cautious ly and slowly.
 Judge MeLane, Lester Ruffner and Wiley Woodruff were selected for this purpose, and after several min utes reached the body. They made an examination of the remains, and then began surveying the scene for the best manner in which to remove the body to the surface.
 Finding the feat impossible, and after satisfying themselves that to lower it over 300 feet was also out of the question, they began an ex- animation of the remains, to aseer- tain the cause of death, and to gain from tine personal effects any iden- tity of the man. The pistol, a .32 ealiber double action Smith & Wes- son was lying by his side, while a bullet hole in his mouth showed that he was a suicide. In personal effects nothing of material evidence was found, except a note eneased in a nickel shaving tube. Sixty cents was found in a pocket of the pants, while in the band of his hat, on the inside, was found a portion of a San Francisco paper which showed that it bore date of September 9th.

THE DANGERS OF THE RECALL

The newspapers of Arizona are waking up to the dangers of the re- call provision that has been ineorpor- ated in their proposed State Consti- tuition, and are exposing those fea- lures as well as portraying the stated advantages. In setting forth some of the dangers of the recall system the Coconino Sun says:
 "The recall sounds good and the average man seems to think it merely gives the people the right to recall an official when he goes wrong.
 "That is small part of what can be done under this provision.
 "It isn't necessary that he do

THUMB BUTTE TOMB
 OF UNKNOWN SUICIDE
Body Discovered in Deep Crevice On Top of High Peak by Two Juvenile
 Explorers Sunday Afternoon

Communicating to the surface, the three men gave an accurate outline of the difficult problem that faced them in removing the remains, and after the members of tine jury were acquainted with the ordeal it was deemed advisable to leave the body where 1t was, and to ascend to the surface. The dead limbs near were carefully placed over the remains, weighted with small boulders picked from the cliff at considerable risk.
 Again on the surface, the result of the examination was made known, and the little tube opened. It con tained the following:
 "'This is as fine a place for a dead man as Cecil Rhodes has in the Mata- bele Hills, SO I will take a rest here. l hope they won't disturb me. My life is just as thorny as this cactus. Therefore, I want to quit this Dev- il's Kingdom. My spirit will go where there is a better Ruler.
 "OMBRE MUERTE."
 The above note was written in a German hand, and that it was pen. eilled while he was at the bottom of the ereviee is shown by his allus- ion to the cactus, that was found growing within a few inches of where his body was lying. Before committing the deed, the man took off his coat and hung it on a ledge near by, while his hat was also found at another point, on a sharp pointed rock. His cap was by his side.
 In appearance the body was that of a man about 50 years old, and the clothing were of a grayish color. He also took off his shoes in de- seending, and they were found near the body. They were of good qual- ity, with rubber heels and soles. He wore a soft light shirt and a pair of heavy police suspenders were on his body. An eye glass case bore San Mateo, Cal, printing.
 MeLane, Ruffner and Woodruff state that to remove the body was out of the question, owing to it's mortified condition, their belief be- ing that it had been there for over five months. The party went to the highest part of the butte, and the place where the ereviee leads below was on the eastern slope of the cen ter of the high mound.
 The discovery was an accident, for during the past few months several excursion parties have aseended the mountain, and the desire of the young men to venture to dangerous points to look into the deep ereviee led to the discovery of the body.
 The barrel of the pistol found by the body is six and a half inches long. The number on the weapon is 19191.

There is not a man in Arizona who does not know that Statehood has never yet failed to bring in it's wake flood of millions of investment cap. ital and big influx of population. Capital and population are the two prime essentials demanded by Ari- zona to bring a multiplication of the bonanza days of 1906 and 1907. Statehood will surely bring the great blessing. Statehood has been the one and only issue in Arizona since the election of Cameron in 1908. It is the only issue before you on Feb ruary 9th. If you vote for the Con- stitution and force it up to the Pres ident to disapprove, you simply fly in the face of the inevitable and kill the Enabling Act. By voting the Constitution down you vote to reassemble the Constitutional conven- tion with instructions to strike out the recall of the judiciary and make the Constitution so acceptable that Statehood will be secured.

CHIEF STATEHOOD ASSASSIN.


 At the time of the statehood fight in Congress which resulted in the passage of the enabling act the clos ing days of the last session there was on deck in both houses of Con- gress a group of so-called statesmen who banded themselves together for the purpose of defeating statehood for the territories. They were known around Washington as statehood asssssins," and rather rejoiced in the cognomen. Chief among them was Jonathan Bourne, a United States senator from Oregon. Al though daily in the senate his voice was not once lifted in behalf of statehood. It was rumored around the senate that he would vote against the bill on its passage, and Senator Aldrieh and Senator Crane, the lead ing opponents of statehood in that body, knew that they could count on Bourne to aid them if there was chance of defeating the bill, or bury it in conference. So notorious was the opposition of the Oregon sena- tor to statehood, so freely did his friends quote him as believing Ari- zona and New Mexico unfit for statehood that President Taft was finally appealed to use his good of fees with Bourne to stay his fight against the bill and vote for it on it's final passage. Finally the Chief Executive from whom Bourne at the time was seeking many favors of patronage, obtained from him the promise that he would not line up against the bill.
 ] When the Bourne speech on the Oregon system of government was given free circulation by the thous- ands in Arizona last summer, many people in this territory wondered where the money came from to give this document such general cireula- ton. The printing bill alone was large one To this day no one knows whether Senator Aldrich or Senator Bourne or some other enemy of state hood footed the bills. In the light of these facts those who know them can only laugh at the letter of the Oregon senator, who ever since he took his seat in the senate has been the errand boy of Aldrich, proclaim ing to the people of Arizona his ear nest desire that the people shall not modify their constitution to meet the President s objections. Bourne knows that he has hit upon the sur est method of keeping Arizona out of the Union in urging the ratifica- ton by the people of a constitution which the President will tell him he intends to disapprove.
 We shall not be surprised to hear that the chief of the gang of state hood assassins at Washington the senator who is radical at home and reaetionary abroad has already reeeiv- ed the thanks of the boss of the sen ate and Wall Street interests with which he is so thick at the success of his efforts in misleading the people of Arizona and diverting them from the only road to state hood. That is just what Jonathan Bourne has been told to do. Thus the plot against statehood goes merri " on.-TucsOn Citizen.

MAN DIES IN PUBLIC
 INSTITUTION
From Tuesdays Daily)


 NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The death, this week, in a public institution, of Robert Caldwell, revives interest in story that was one of the great est sensations of the country a gen eration. ago. He claimed to be pos sessed of all the details regarding the robbery of the grave of A. T. Stewart, the s'merchant prinee", of New York in his day. That the body of Stewart was stolen and held for ransom was pretty thoroughly estab- lished. As to whether it was return ed and the ransom paid or where it is now inferred is a mystery that may never be cleared up. That Cald- well knew anything about the matter, however, was generally discredited. few years ago he gained renewed notoriety by appearing as the prin- cipal witness in the suit of a London claimant to the estates and title of the Duke of Portland. In this suit he swore that the Duke of Portland did not die as he was supposed to have died, but lived on for years in the guise of a London shop keeper. The statements put forth by Cald- well in connection with these and other famous mysteries caused him to be dubbed "the great American af- fidavit maker" although in reality he was an Englishman. Alienists de clared that he was suffering from a peculiar brain disease that was re- sponsible for his mania in mixing in cases of mystery. Apparently he be- al, were. to the very end of his life, which remains as great a mystery as any of those with which he was fond of assoeiating himself.
