DEATH SUMMONS A POPULAR
 TEACHER
Miss Mary (. Miller Is Called to Her
 Maker
(From Sundays Daily.)

One of the saddest deaths that has ever occurred in this city, was that of Miss Mary C. Miller, who passed away late Friday night at Mercy hospital, after an illness of only a few weeks. While a sufferer from tuberculosis, the affliction did not assume serious nature until re- gently. The death of this estimable and accomplished young lady will be learned with sorrow by all, as she was very much endeared and was known in all parts of the county as a public school teacher. She taught in many districts. and last spring closed her school at Peck's Lake, on the Verde. She arrived in Prescott about ten years ago, coming for the benefit of her health, which seemed to improve and it was believed she had fully recovered until a relapse took place a short time ago when she exposed herself in stormy weather.
 Miss Miller was a native of Fair mount, West Virginia, and leaves a father and mother, with other rela- tives in that city to mourn her death The remains are at H. M. Maus' parlors, awaiting advices as to their disposition. It is probable they will be shipped home for inter- ment.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 TO BUILD IN PHOENIX

PHOENIX, August 12.-The South ern Pacific today announced i'm. portant plans in connection with Phoenix and the immediate territory, An appropriation of S400,0OO has been made for the building of shops at Phoenix. the shops to be provided with facilities for doing heavy work.
 These will be in addition to those to be rebuilt at Tucson burned in an ineendiary fire year or two ago.
 The new branch from Mesa to Chandler will be opened for business September l.
 The foregoing definite announce ment of the purpose of the Southern Pacific company to locate its shops in Phoenix will occasion little sur prise though a great deal of grati- fication. About two years ago the railroad company began the purchase of several tracts of land along the right of way of the Arizona Eastern and it was then assumed that one of the tracts would become a site feI- shops
 A few days ago it was stated by railroad man to friend that though it had not been decided, SO far as he knew, the company intend ed when it built the shops to erect them on tract of 16O acres lying south of East Lake park.
 This appropriation of S400,eoO for shops was announced a, couple of weeks ago from New York but ir was then understood that it was for the purpose of replacing at Tucson or elsewhere, the shops which were destroyed by fire last year.

SOCIETY GOES TO THE DOGS

NEWPORT, R. l.. August 12.-The first dog show held here in several years was given at the Casino today under the auspices of the Rhode Is- land Kennel club. More than 100 canine pets belonging to the fashion able residents of Newport were dis played. There was no place for an ordinary dog in the exhibition. A line of blue blOOded canine ancestors was the only ticket that insured ad- mittance. Even class distinctions prevailed among the tiny animals, the naughty Blenheim spaniels and those named in honor of King Charles absolutely ignoring the breezy look ing little English bulldogs and Bos- ton terriers.

BIG COMPANY IS
 PREPARING TO OPERATE

One of the most important trans actions that has ever taken place in the southern part of this county. is the creation of the R. O. Locke Min ing Company, which was legally effected Monday by the filing of articles of incorporation, and the an- nouncement given publicity that an extensive system of mine exploitation was to immediately follow. The be- ginning of operations by this com pany is due to the purchase in this city a few months ago of the George Carey and other mining interests near Columbia, which involves a sum. it is said, running into the thousands of dollars. and embraces some of the best gold mines in that section. The incorporation of this company is also noteworthy. from the fact that all of the men identified with the organization are influential in financial circles of New Mexico, and are also practical in mining work. They are J. E. ard B. E.. Hedding, J. W. Corbett. O. O. Smith, George L. billiard and R. o. Locke.
 The entry of the company to that district, will also signalize the be- ginning of the first large system of mine development that has ever been extended that hitherto neglect ed section. Deep mining is to be prosecuted, and to handle the output large reduction facilities are to be introduced. The company is prepar- ing to begin work and will estab- fish a permanent camp in the next few weeks. Judge J. ]. Hawkins of Prescott. is the agent in Arizona and perfected the organization a few days ago. Mir. Locke. who negotiated the deal, is now in Albuquerque and is expected in the city ;n few days.

WORK IS STARTED ON GYPSUM
 PLANT

PHOENIX, Ariz., August l4.-Work commenced today on the buildings for the Arizona Gypsum < Plaster Com panv at the factory site, five mi es east of Phoenix on the Tempe road. close to the Cross Cut canal. The capacity of the plant will be about forty tons per day and will include gypsum building blocks, plaster and land plaster. The placing of a land plaster on the local market at cheap rates will be helpful to the farmers. It has been demonstrated in Califor- mia that great crop gains are se cured following the use of gypsum land plaster and for certain types of soil that are hard to handle. it is the one thing that makes the land both productive and easy of tillage,
 The use of gypsum building blocks is growing in favor, it is being used extensively on the new Hotel Adams and is used because of it's nOn-con- ductive properties. It is non-eOn- ductor of heat, cold and electricity. The advantage of having local source of supply for gypsum build ing blocks will give much eneour- agement to the use of this building matter which can be made up in form to suit the builders or the preference of any party wishing to construct any particular type of structure.
 The officers of the Arizona Gyp- sum company are. D. Y. Mclean, president and general manager; Harry Welch, viee-president; J. F. Cleave- land, treasurer, and F. L. Pogue, secretary. The company is capital ized locally. The factory will be in operation in about ninety days

EXTENT OF LATE CASHIERS REGULATIONS

Directors of the Company Hold Meeting and Announce That They Have Taken Action to Fully Protect
 All Depositors and Patrons of the Institution

there was more investigation and finally the officers of the bank be- came convinced that their cashier was a defaulter. Of course, this system could have been pursued only with depOsitors who brought in their bank books to be balanced at long intervals, and this is the main reason it is believed, that the manipulations could not have been extensive.
 Where the Money Went.
 Another reason why a large short age Is not credited, is that the late cashier was not a man of expensive habits and apparently he lived within his income. There were street ru- mOrs yesterday that he speeulated on the stock market, but there is absolutely nothing to substantiate that report. No correspondence or memoranda was found in his desk to show that he had any business re- lations with any stock broker, and none of his friends have any knOwl- edge that he was financially interest ed in stocks.
 The bonding company has been notified of the matter and an agent is expected here in a few days who will make thorough inspection of the books of the bank.
 Troubled in Spirit.
 That Larimer was worried over some trouble was apparent to friend who dropped into his office shortly before he left for California and to whom he said: "'What is life worth living for anyway! I have not been able to sleep for more than a couple of hours a night for weeks.'
 A Trusted Employe.
 MT. Larimer has been cashier of the Commercial Trust Company since the time it was organized about nine years ago. when he resigned a posi- tiOn with the Phoenix National Bank in order to accept the position here. His ability was of a high order and his integrity has at no time been under suspicion and the news of his :nfidelity to his trust. was received with keen regret and sorrow last evening.
 Baseless Report.
 A rumOr to the effect that Larimer had committed suicide in Los An geles proves to be absolutely unfound- ed as the following dispatch received last night from the Examiner shows:
 Leslie Larimer died of pneu-
 monia. He was sick for days
 and had a trained nurse and two
 doctors all the time. The coroner
 knew him and says he died of
 pneumonia.''

that he would be allowed leave of absence. The Commercial Trust Com pany is the local agent for the United States Fidelity and Trust Company, and the president of the latter com pany had written to us stating that he would be in San Francisco and wanted to have conference with all of the agents. He offered to pay railroad fare and expenses and as MT. Larimer had never been in San Francisco he was anxious to make the trip. especially as it would cost him nothing. When he preached the matter to me l gave him no encOur
 agement, saying that I thought eithet Mir. Fredericks or myself would go, but two days prior to the time that he left I told him that he could go. He figured on attending the meeting in san Francisco and then go to Los Angeles and spend a day or two with his wife who is summering there.
 ''As far as the bank is concerned, it is all right and the shortage does not trouble me. The most regrettable feature is that he has an estimable family who must suffer from this knowledge when it comes to them. v
 How the Money Was Lifted.
 It is understood, although not off
 cially stated, that the discovery Of the shortage was made accidentally or rather that an incident occurred that led to further investigation. de- positor. it is said, found tlRt his balance in the bank was smaller than he supposed. and his bank book did not agree with his ledger account in the bank. That might have been due to clerical error in making an entry but investigation indicated that the discrepancy was intentional. Then

 After an illness of less than three weeks. Robert Campbell, one of the best known residents of this county, suecumbed to Dr.ght s 5;sease at Mercy hospital yesterday morning, He. was stricken i'll suddenly at Dugas' ranch. last month, and brought to this city for medical attention, gradually growing worse, the disease making such inrOads that it baffled the skill of physicians.
 Mir. Campbell belonged to the pioneer circle of this territory. arriv> ing over thirty years ago, and en- ioyed the good will of all. He was generous in disposition and was pos sessed of a splendid fellowship on all occasions. He followed mining and owned at the time of his death, it is said, valuable interests in this county. In the early days he ae- quired quite a fortune, and one of his admirable traits was to assist other miners who were less fortunate in their operations. In. all he was a good man and exemplary citizen. He was born in Pittsburg, Pa.. about 63 years ago. and is survived by his mother who resides at Newcastle in that state, and a brother who is at Boulder City, Colo. The body is be- ing held at the Ruffner chapel until his relatives are heard from. The funeral will be held under the auspices of Prescott Lodge No. 33O, B. P. O.

 As to that part of the Prescott Grand Canyon boulevard, extending from Ash Fork northward, Messrs. Gordon and Moselle, who have just made the trip from this city to Fl Tovar without difficulty or mishap, wired Mir. Smith yesterday that it is in very fair condition, with few "sOre spOts' anywhere.
 The Westgard party, in planning the itinerary of its continental trip, had anticipated going from Gal lup, through the White mountains, into Phoenix. By reason of the ae- tivity pledged to make the Gallup Flagstaff highway possible before the first of November, there can he no doubt that Mir. Westgard will easily see the advantage of crossing Ari- zOna in the north. viewing the wOn- ders that center there; then detuF- ing. via Ash Fork and Prescott into Phoenix. From this point, side-trips will no doubt be made to Roosevelt and other places of scenic interest in Southern Arizona; thence the tour will be continued. via Yuma, into California and to the Pacific.
 Before next summer. if the plans of Mir Norris bear expected fruit, Arizona auto roads will be thoroughly described in state guidebook. This will cost over 5000 and guarantee of $1.OO0 must be remitted to the publishers in Los Angeles before the roads are written mp and mapped. Each turn. crossrOad and junction on every permanent road in Arizona will he photographed and the view shown opposite the point on each map Every conceivable bit of in formation for the comfort, safety and convenience of the auto tourist will find its place in this guide. which will be sold for $.

President GOldwater's statement.

When President Goldwater was in terviewed last evening he did not appear at all worried or embarrassed and said: ''I do not believe that I can say any more than is contained in the statement issued by the board of directors. It is absolutely impos- sible at his time to say what the shortage is. It was only discovered two days ago and it will be some time before the accounts can be ex- amned The books were aduited last month by the directors and also periodically by the territorial bank examiner. and the fOotings were all ways found to be correct. Whatever peculatiOns there were. were effected by the manipulation of individual accounts
 ''I have every reason to believe that MT. Larimer intended to return when he left for California on a vacation two weeks ago. His private papers and personal effects were left in the office and in fact he did not know until two days before he left

(From Sundays Daily.l

More shocking than the unexpected news of the sudden death of Leslie B. Larimer in Los Angeles on Tues day. was the discovery announced yesterday that the late cashier of the Commercial Trust Company was a defaulter.
 Just the extent of the shortage is not known at the present time nor can it even be approximated, as it will require several weeks to make an expert examination of the books. From the necessarily limited investi- gations that have been going on for the past two days, it is eonieetured that the deficit may reach 5000 and on the other hand there is a pOssi- bility that it may somewhat exceed that sum.
 Depositors Are Secured.
 Neither MT. Goldwater, president of the bank, nor any of the directors were able to give any definite figure, and cannot until after the books have been completely audited. but whatever the deficit may be the de- positors of the bank are amply se- cured. Larimer was bonded in the United States Fidelity and Trust Company of Baltimore, Maryland, in the sum of S1O.0OO and if the short age should exceed that figure which is regarded as hardly probable. the directors of the bank have personally pledged themselves to make it good. This action was taken yesterday at a meeting of the board of directors when the following announcement was officially authorized:
