FAMILY OF DEAD POLICE
 OFFICER REMEMBERED

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 1.-The s1GOOO fund for the widow and children of John T. Sullivan, captain of the Spokane police force, who was killed by an unknown person, was raised by the Spokane Chamber of Commerce in less than thirty-six hours. Subscriptions, ranging from $1, 100 to $1, were received without personal solicitation, but as the result of a letter canvass. Many business men of the city sent in expressions in favor of raising the fund, in addi- tion to enclosing their checks for var ious amounts. A widow, probably seventy years of age, called at the Chamber of Commerce rooms and gave $1. She said it was only mite, but she wanted to give what she could. Another subscription, which aroused considerable interest, was one of $1O, from the Japanese Commercial Club. The money is to be invested in trust by the Chamber of Commerce trustees for the widow and children of Captain Sullivan. They will thus have a permantnt and regular income during their entire life time.

(From Saturdays Daily.l

Prof. F. Crabtree of the Carnegie Mineral College, at Pittsburg, Pa, re- turned to the city yesterday after examining mines in Chaparral, ae- quainting himself with geological conditions, and left for Jerome, where he desires to inspect the large smelting works of the United Verde Copper company. He will return to Prescott today, and will continue his research in the MeCabe section, de- voting the coming week to that work. He speaks in favorable terms of the of the belt at the Mount Elliott and adjacent mines, and an tieipates a heavy producing district. This is his first trip to Arizona, and the evidences of mineral wealth are a revelation to him.

OIL DISCOVERED IN
 WELL NEAR wINSLOW
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

(FrOm Wednesdays Daily.)
 E. s. Clark, who returned from a professional trip to Holbrook, yester- day, brings the important informa- tiOn that it is quietly reported that oil has been discovered in the Little Colorado River valley, near Winslow, and that it is undoubtedly true. The discovery is on land owned by the Aztec Land and Cattle company, and the depth where the small flow was encountered was 600 feet The find is causing considerable excitement in Winslow. The company has been drilling in that section for several months for a water supply, and the well that brought up the oil is the deepest. An immense area has been under the ownership of the company for many years. Private parties also own large acreage in that section, while the public domain covers sev- eral sections that are open for To- cation. Since it has been quietly given out that oil exists, all avail able ground is being located. The continuation of the Aztec well to greater depth is to be prosecuted i'm mediately.

VALLEY GROCER SENDS
 ORDER FOR SNOW

Nathan Levy. of the mercantile firm of D. Levy & Co.,, of this city, recently received a special delivery letter from H. A. Mckee of the Me Kee Cash Store at Phoenix, asking him to send immediately, by express, a barrel of at least sixty gallons ca Pacity of clean, well packed snOw The "goods" were desired for i'm mediate and urgent use, but for what purpose was not stated. The request amazed NIT. Levy, and his inference is that the warmth of the southland demanded snow balls from the Mile High City to cool eff the Salinas tourists from the frigid lands of the East. Later, MT. Levy, after con- sulting the Chamber of Commerce, sent the following wire: "Nothing doing in Yavapai. We still have the best climate on earth. Mean tenn perature, 66. Five inches rain went to Salt River from here, last week. That's all for presert."

DECISION GIVEN
 IN FAMOUS CASE

In the decisions handed down at the recent term of the Supreme Court in Phoenix, among the more interesting was the celebrated brindle COW and calf case of NJ. C.. Fitzmauriee against William Poland, in which the latter was given judg- ment. This legal controversy started In this city over two years ago, and had its first inning in the justice court, when Poland was given judg- ment. An appeal was taken and the Judgment was reversed. Injunction proceedings were resorted to and Fitzmauriee triumphed again. Then the ease was called a second time to the District Court on another is sue. Fitzmauriee lost, and the issue went to the highest tribunal in the Territory, which gave judgment to Poland.
 The COW and calf were appraised at the sum of s75. and a deal was made for them by Poland who agreed to furnish Fitzmaurice cord wood in that amount. The trouble started on the delivery of the wood.
 A review of the two years of le- gal strife, shows that before the case ls settled, MT. Fitzmaurice had pass ed away, dying several months ago. The little calf has grown to matur- Ity, and had an increase of a calf about six months ago. The original mother of the herd still lives and IS said to be a good milker. The costs that have piled up since the first suit was instituted reach over $500. becoming the main issue, and this does not include what the four at torneys in the case were paid.
 MT. Poland lives near Mint Valley, and has had the animals in pasture during all these controversies. under surveillance of officials. He has turned them loose, and now they will roam at will without any further legal fetters.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20. -
 The value of the production of gold in the United States in 1910 fell be
 low that of the record output of 1909, which was nearly $lOO,0OO,O ,OOO. Preliminary statistics compiled by the Director of the Mint indicate that in 1910 the value of the total production of gold in the United States (ncluding Alaska and the in sular possessions) was s96,055,2 PA, a decrease of s3,6lS,1s6 from the value of the output in 1909, which was $99, 9,673, 400.
 Notwithstanding this decrease, which was chargeable mainly to re- duced production in Alaska, Colorado, and South Dakota, the decrease in the two latter having been due to merely temporary suspension of pro- duction in important camps, the gold mining industry was on the whole and during most of the year pro- gressive and in a satisfactory con dition. Important increases in pro- duetion are indicated for California, Nevada and Arizona, and smaller in ereases for New Mexico, North Caro- lima, South Carolina, Utah and Wash ingtOn. Decreased output of gold is noted for Alaska, where the prOdue tion from the Fairbanks and Seward Peninsula gravels has finally begun to decline; for Colorado, where oper- atiOns in Cripple Greek mines until near the end of 1910 were somewhat less active pending the completion of deep drainage by the Roosevelt tunnel; for South Dakota, where the great Homestake and other mines and mills have made less than their normal yield owing to labor diff culties in the early part of the year; and for Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Virginia, where the decrease in out put was less important. Other states show minor variations, and indeed the final figures may change somewhat the distribution of production given by the latter figures. Reduced pro- duction from Alaska foreshadows a probable continued decrease for 1911, but this reduction may be to a con- siderable degree offset by produe- ton from new placer fields in Alas ka and by increased activity in work

Postal Telegraph Line Has Reached That
 Point
Concrete Work East To Williams Reported
 Finished
(From Saturdays DaiIy)

Commencing next week, double tracing the main line of the Santa Fe will be inaugurated at Ash Fork. The work will proceed to the east from that point, and will continue to where the heavy excavations are go- ing on near Williams, without any delay. At the present time there are employed at Ash Fork over 160 men drilling holes in ties for the spikes that later will be inserted by a specially designed machine that has arrived and is now being put to- gether. This mechanical utility is said to be the first one used in the country, and in tests in the East is said to have been revelation in rapid ity of work. It does the labor bet ter than by hand, and in its intricate equipment gives the line to the track and automatically drives the spikes into the rails with lightning like rapidity, working on both sides of the rail at the same time. In railroad building circles the machine is considered a remarkable invention.
 The heavy concrete work between Ash Fork and Williams is also com pleted, after several months. and an enormous amount of money has been Outlayed for that purpose.
 Yesterday the new line of the Pos tai Telegraph company reached Ash Fork, and will be continued to Needles. The poles are said to be the highest and most massive ever seen in the Territory. After reach ing Needles, the line will be con- tinued to the coast.

AMERICANS MAY
 BUY CLIFTON MINES

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Early last year an effort was made by the Cole-Ryan-Amalgamated interests to secure control of the Arizona Copper company, which is largely owned in Scotland. This company, operating in the Clifton, Ariz., district, is an important producer and has been for years outputting about 30,000,00O pounds of copper per annum, it's cop per being sold by United Metal Sell ing company.
 The Cole-Ryan people had confer enees lasting several weeks, the Ari- zona Copper company being repre- sented by John Gill of Edinburgh, Scotland, who was chairman of the board of directors. An offer of 50 shillings per share for the control of the Arizona Copper company was made, but MT. Gill demanded 70 shillings per share for the stock and no trade was made. The stock is now selling at about 30 shillings.
 Within the past week Mir. Gill died, and as he was the active man in the organization, although near ly so years of age, there are pOssi- bilities that by his death this fam ous property may now revert to American interests, especially as the company now faces heavy eonstrue tion charges amounting to several million dollars, which in turn may result in a temporary suspension of dividends.

GOOD BASEBALL TEAM IS NOW
 ASSURED Applications Already0n File From Star
 Players Treasurer Lindell Says Subscriptions Are
 Liberal
FTom Fridays Daily.)

It is practically foregone eonelus- ion that Prescott will have one of the strongest teams in the Northern ArizOna Baseball League, if requests from players reaching this city in the past week are a criterion. Since the organization has been effected. several residents have received let ters from friends asking for informa- tion, and desiring to have their appli- cations entered. The wide range of She communications shows that the fame of the new league is not con fined to local boundaries, but reaches from the East to the West. For in stance, Dr. H. T. Southworth has received a letter from Chicago, in which a young man, of promising ability as a pitcher, desires to come to Prescott to begin his official car ger on the diamond. He is desirous Of going into a minor league, and is possibility for being enrolled in the famous White SOx team of the American League two years hence.
 Jesse Wilson, who will probably be one of the official umpires of the new league, having retired from active playing on the diamond, yes terday received a letter from Lee Wolf. in Los Angeles, saying that he would like to return to Prescott to enter the new league. Wolf is one of the star first basemen of the coast and has recently been playing with some of the crack amateur teams in California. He will be favOrably re- membered as a member of the Pres eOtt Grays.
 Clarence Marshall of Los Angeles, one of the reserve pitchers of the Vernon team of the Pacific Coast League, has also expressed a desire to come here. Marshall has an ex- eellent reputation. and with the Chi eago pitcher the Prescott team would have a good, strong staff. Other ap- plieations are also coming in from various positions, and it is probable that before April there will be good perfected in this city.
 Treasurer Lindell of the Prescott club states that financial assistance is liberal, and he anticipates raising l good fund.
 President W. c. Alvord of the League is in Los Angeles arranging excursion rates. He will be in Pres eOtt next week.

 The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce says that Prescott now stands for progress. The Chamber of Commerce is making progress in the right direction. Inquiries from per sons seeking desirable locations are coming in right along, the number re- eeived having increased more than 90 Der cent during the past week. The majority of the inquiries are about land, irrigable land, dry farm Ing land, orchard land and all other kinds of land. Two letters come from Hood River, Ore, asking about or ehard land. It seems that the writers have heard of the beautiful apples displayed at the Territorial Fair from Yavapai county. When one considers that Hood River is in the orchard part of Oregon, it much also be ap- parent that Yavapai county will soon be the orchard part of Arizona.
 Fully One-half of the inquiries ask for the prices of land and state they are looking for favorable climatic To- cation. A careful comparison of the weather reports for Prescott for the past four years shows that for year round climate it's average is hard to beat. The seeretary's slogan seems to fit all right" Finest Ch- mate On Earth.''

GOLD PRODUCTION
 DECREASES IN 1910
Output of Arizona Has Increased Over $6OO,OOO Due Largely to Activities

ing auriferOus lodes. With the pros- peet of further increase in production in Nevada, continued good results in California gold dredging resumption of production at their full capacity of the mines of Cripple Creek and in the Black Hills, and with normal conditions elsewhere, the outlook for 1911 is good. Serious curtailment of copper production would of course affect the gold output, particularly in Montana and Arizona, but the to- tai decrease from this cause would be relatively small, as the great bulk of the gold produced continues to come from plaeers and dry silieious ore.
 Changes in Rank of States
 The preliminary figures show that Colorado has lost first place to Cali fornia and now stands second, and that Alaska has lost third place to Nevada and now stands fourth. South Dakota and Utah remain fifth and sixth, respectively, in order of gold production but Arizona has changed places with Montana, and these States now stand respectively seventh and eighth in order of output
 Alaska.
 In Alaska there was a total de- crease of $3,35O,OOO in the value of the output of gold but marked in- crease in gold lode mining partieu- larly in the Juneau district. Placer mining in general was active in Al aska in 1910 and production from old districts and prospecting of new fields continued to be features of the industry; but the output from the Fairbanks gravels fell off over $3,OOO,OOO and that from the Seward Peninsula gravels about $5,OO,OOO
 Arizona.
 In Arizona the increase in gold | production in 1910, amounting to over $6OO,OOO, was due largely to i activity in the Gold Road and Tom l Reed mines, in Mohave County, but | is to be ascribed partly also to in- crease in the production of copper, in which Arizona ranked first in 1910.

Until the past few years immigration

DIVERS AT WORK ON A WRECK.

In case of total loss the vessel is strip
ped for the underwriters; and it is the
Key West wreckers who do the work:
everything of value is taken-anchors.
chains, brass fittings, and copper pipes
from steamers, and all the sailing-gear.
sails and masts, from sailing-craft.
Nothing that junk-dealer would be
likely to buy is abandoned. From
wooden vessels even the copper sheath
ing is stripped by the skin divers. The
wrecking- schooner, with it's crew of
divers, anchors alongside the wreck. 1t
may be that only the masts are sticking
out of water, that the hull lies in four
or five fathoms The divers, negroes,
all go down without helmet or suit, and
are therefore called skin divers. They
are big-bodied, small-headed, watery-
eyed fellows, who can be watched through
water-glass, distinct against the clear
bright coral sand in the shadow of the
hull. They strip the sheathing with
chisel-a dozen of them at work at a
time. 1t takes about three minutes for
diver to release sheet of copper,
then up he comes to the surface, grabs
lifeline, and is hauled aboard, where
he lies gasping until, five minutes later,
he is ready to go down again. He is
good for six hours continuous labor of
this sort, unless sharks interfere. But
if shark is seen loafng in the shadow
of the keel on the listed side of the hull,
there is no getting diver over the side
that day. AS Bub Smart, the most IA
nous Of wrecking craftsmen, says: mo
blame to them. It's creepy business,
keeping a shark off with your chisel
while you shoot to the top of the water.
even if you only scrape your naked skin
against his sandpaper hide. George
