the Spanish part of their ancestry. The Spaniard is a man of honor. His Mexican descendant, with blood per meated by Indian strains, unites the vice and wrong-doing of the Indian and the Spanish conquistador One has to talk plainly on this subject. America s interest lies alone in the maintenance of the supremacy of Diaz. Diaz, out of the rascal mob around him, has placed his trust in Raymon Corral, Euardo Creel and others. That he has faith in them is proof that they are worthy of trust. The Grand Old Man of Mex leo knows men and he has picked people who are worthy of being be- lieved. If they are believed in by
 Diaz, they can be believed in by Americans.
 The proof? Look at the riff-raff of adventurers and looters who have gathered around Madero and the cheap and easy generals" whom Madero has selected. These fellows are mere cut-throats. Their idea Of liberty is rape, rapine and murder. Let them loose and the vested in- terests of the American citizens who have put their all into Mexican ven i lures will be swept away to. satisfy the plunder bund of the insurreetOs. The United States cannot avoid the issue. President Taft is being badly advised in delaying. We MUST intervene.

PHOENIX YOUTH
 ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

A most pitiful accident occurred last evening just at dusk, on the Al kire ranch, two and a half miles west of Alhambra, when J. M. Yberri, Jr., a 15-year-old boy, accidentally shot himself with a 2O-guage shotgun, just below the heart, dying as the exclamation, "I'm shot" escaped his lips.
 The boy was seated at the time in a delivery wagon belonging to his father, who conducts a store in the southern part of Phoenix and was accompanied by two other boys named Juan EspinOsa and Luis Cordoba. Dr. Dameron was summoned but of course found the dead body on his arrival Coroner Johnstone was also informed, and empaneling jury went to the ranch and viewed the body, which was brought to town by the broken hearted father, who had arrived i'll the meantime
 The boy and his companions had gone to the Alkire ranch to deliver consignment of groceries that had been ordered in the Yberri store, by one of the tenants of MT. Alkire. It was the custom of the lad to take along his shotgun on the occasion of these little business excursions into the country, and shoot doves or such other game as he might encounter. He was sitting in the wagon at the time, rolling a cigarette, with the gun on his lap or between his knees. It slipped from his control and fell downward, the hammer striking on the footbOard in front of the seat, in such way as to discharge the weapon. The muzzle was pointing just below the heart and the wound was almost instantly fatal-Phoenix Republican.

GREAT FESTIVAL
 ARRANGED FOR INDIANS.
CFrom Friday s Daily)

CFrom Friday Daily)
 Ghost dances, chicken-pulls. races, wrestling contests, a barbecue, reli- gious rites, that seem as strange to the white man as do his forms of worship to the untutored son of the plain and mountain and dances of every sort will go to while away the 27th, 18th, and 29th of this month.
 United States Commissioner C. H. Rutherford, of Jerome is the father of the movement and through his influence and the generosity of the merchants of his city, Indians from all over the territory will be per mitted to take part in the games which will be held at William JOr dan s ranch on the Upper Verde. The affair is well under way and all arrangements have been completed. Wallapais, Supais and Moquis will be allowed to leave their reservations and take part in the festivities. Over three hundred Indians will be pres ent.
 The religious rites will consist of dances to appease the wrath of souls already hunting in the Big Lands across the Black River. Dances to the Sun; the Moon; the Big Mighty Rain God; the God who causes the flowers to come from the Breast of the Land, and the God who drives the Venison to the arrow of the Mighty Hunter. And last of all the Scalp dance which will last for days and which the red man feels is e greatest dance of all.
 People from all over the terri tory will be on hand and what may be the last chance the white brother will ever have to see the red man at his festivals will occur near Jerome the end of this month.

spOnsible for that sin, and since we know that forgiveness is ours for the asking, why walk along the highways and the byways of life with long face? Cheer up. There is more good in the world in smile than there is in a frown, and the sad cOuntenances of the heart-broken find no excuse in the saints, for the martyrs went to torment with smile and bore the cross with happy countenance.
 Goodness does not have to show itself through d glass darkly. It does not have to mourn, nor does it have to tread the paths of mortal existence, handkerchief in hand, weeping bitterly. Goodness can be as merry as sin proverbially is.
 If sinners are serene, how much more so should be those whose lives give promise of reward hereafter2

RUSHING WORK ON
 WHITE CLOUD MINE
(From Wednesdays Dsily.)


 Returning Sunday from a few days inspection of the interests of the. White Cloud Mining Company, of which he is president, H. William Stevens stated that mine development was proceeding on the 400 foot level under very favorable conditions and that there was no question but what the line of work would result in creating a very desirable property.
 Considerable comment was heard over the rich strike made a short time ago by Victor Thylan on the Nugget mine, formerly known as the '' Portugese Joe" property. Two feet of ore that carries very high gold values was cut into at the deepest point, in addition to which was large tonnage of good milling ore taken from previous. development. A new stamp mill has been ordered for the property and reduction is as sured for many months. MT. Thylan recently purchased the property, and among the members of the company is Governor Curry of New Mexico.
 MT. Stevens says the mining out look in the district was never so good. and the building of the new wagon road from Tubbs Springs will afford several owners a great con venienee in taking out their products and bringing in supplies.

SALE OF FAMOUS
 MINE STILL PENDING.
(From Wednesdays DaiIy)


 Last Wednesday afternoon J. F. Mcconnell came in from GoldrOad with bar of bullion weighing s1s,- 800, the result of the last eight days cleanup of the mill. Owing to lack of power some of the re- grinding machinery has been out of commission, but it is expected that before long arrangements will be made to get all necessary power to drive every piece of machinery at the mill and mine.
 At the mine work is going on at a rapid rate, the drifts oH the 800 and 700 levels being carried into new ground. The 300 level has reached point 800 feet east of the No. 2 shaft on the Billy Bryan and is said to be in the richest ore ever dis covered in the property, samples run ming as high as $12,OOO to the ton None of this ore is milled, that part of the mine not having been as yet put in shape to send it's output to the mill. On the 700 great ore has been opened in a new character of ground. The lower works east shows the ground to be rapidly changing and the values running in material that has not heretofore been considered ore bearing. The general impression now is that the French people have refused to accept the offer of the United States Smelling Co.,, and that there will be no sale. unless the price comes close to S5,- COG, 900 for the property. The in vestment is now considered gilt edge by the European investors and it will take good, hard coin and plenty of it to secure the control of this great property.

 It is better to be serene at any tune and in any place than it is to be depressed.

WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY.
From Thursdays Daily,

(From Thursdays Daily)
 The promptness with which Judge Doe yesterday called a special ses- sion of the grand jury met with universal commendation. Such ae- tion not only reflects credit upon the jurist himself but it likewise speaks well for the sentiment that pervades the community which as a whole is law-abiding. When crime breaks out in spots justice demands that there should be quick retribu- ton and the Court has convened the grand jury for date-the 22nd-as early as the statutes permit under such circumstances.
 While the grand jury will deal with the two murder cases, it doubt less will concern itself as to those conditions which foster the commis- sion of crime Already evidence is being gathered to present to the in 9uisitorial body to show that the disorderly houses and dives of the Redight district are being maintain ed in open violation of the law. Really no proof is necessary as the vice district, abutting on one of the main thoroughfares of the city, is so obtrusive that it is in itself prima fseie evidence. It would be inexpe- dient to attempt to stamp out the social evil but it can be segregated and placed in a sequestered locality. Situated as now it is in the heart of the business district, its cOnspieu- Ous presence gives the city black eye, and is daily the subject of un- favorable comment on the part of visiting strangers. But even this removal will avail but little in the way of reducing crime and disorder unless steps be taken for the strieter regulation of the saloons. Only. by doing so, can prohibition be averted for there is a growing sentiment in that direction. It is the dives and ! desd-falls that bring discredit upon the entire liquor business and there Is no class of men in the community | that welcome such regulation so much as those saloon men who are conducting orderly places and whose self-respect impels them to refuse to serve liquor to minors or to men who are in a state of even semi intoxication.
 Hence the special grand jury faces l great responsibility and a great work. t....

WE SHALL HAVE TO INTERVENE

The affairs of Mexico have taken
 turn that ought to convince Presi- dent Taft of the necessity of inter vention. The capture of Juarez mere ly emphasizes a condition of affairs that has been obvious for some time to those who have had occasion to lie by mail. The postal facilities be- tween the City of Mexico and this country have been seriously interfer ed with and the condition is such that the United States, whose citi- zens have many millions at stake in the government of Diaz, must take hand.
 For several months the undertaking magazines, known by everyone to be open to bribes, have been busily en- gagged in denouncing the government of Mexico. One of them has even. printed the letters of an untrust- worthy person who, as Fresno ra- porter, could not be given a court house detail, with any degree of cer- tainty that what he wrote, copied from documents before his eyes, was correct. All this has been strong evidence of crOokedness, and the nc tive for it has been obvious.
 What mOtiveY This: Money. There is invested in the Mexican mines, rubber plantations and cattle ranches, coin of the United States to the extent of over $50,0OO,00O. Most of this is put into stock com panies, the shares of which are for sale on the stock and bond exchanges of every large city. To cause these securities to depreeiate in value, all that has been necessary has been to diseredit the government of Porfirio Diaz. Granted that DiaZ is a die tatOr, granted that he rules with a rod of iron, granted that he is des potic--how else would he be able to maintain stable government in Mex ico7 Let us deal with facts, Mexico is country in which the mass of the people are common, ignorant, thoughtless, and unintelligent. The average low Mexican is a treacher- ous, untrustworthy scoundrel, whose knife would be driven freely into the back of any man with money enough to warrant the attack, if the occasion offered. Diaz, an Indian, without a drop of Spanish blood in his composition-not a half breed, but a clear blood-Diaz has been able to redeem that country from the dis honor and treason into which it had fallen until its name was by-word throughout the world.
 How has he done it7 By compell- ing the yellow dogs around him to give some respect to the sentiments of honor and deeency that animated

Walter |. Fisher Appointed Sec.
retaTy Of Interior.

Ballinger's resignation as secretary

ccpted by President Taft and Walter
L. Fisher of Chicago, was appointed
as his successor, his commission be-
ing signed Immediately by the presi-
dent. Mr.. Fisher will take Office with
in few days
Secretary Ballinger based his resis-
nation entirely upon the condition of
his health. The president replied at
once, expressing his confidence in
Secretary Ballinger and his reluctance
to accept his resignation, and request
ed the secretary to remain in Office
until the close of the session of con-
gress.
The correspondence between the
president and the secretary is not
voluninous, but displays beyond ouos-
ton the confidence which Mr.. Taft
has rercsed in Mr.. Ballinger through
out the long seige and the indigna-
ton with which he viewed the attacks
upon the secretary's personal and Of
fetal integrity.
Ihe appointment of the Chicago at
tcrrey was commented on by some as
a natural step following his work ON
the national conservation commission.
In 1908 President Roosevelt selected
Mr.. Fisher as head of his conserva-
tion movement.
Mr. Fisher was born in 1862 at
Wheeling, w. Va. He was graduated
before the age of twenty-one from
Hanover college, Hanover, O., of
which for many years his father was
president. Four years after his grad
uation Mr.. Fisher was admitted to
the bar and began practice in Chicago.
AS an active worker in relation to
Chicago's municipal affairs the new
secretary Of the interior first became
prominently known as secretary of
The Municipal Voters League. Later
he became president OF this body and
retained an interest in it's work after
ceasing TO be an official.
His work in framing the tracticn
ordinance and examining witnesses
before the Merriam commission are
recent things for which Mr.. Fisher
is known.
