COLIN CAMEON
 STRICKEN BY APoPLEXY

TUCSON, Ariz., March 7.-Colin
 Cameron, one of the oldest and best known residents of Pima county, was stricken by a sudden attack of apo plexy at 11:45 o'clock, Monday, at
 his home on Franklin street, and died almost instantly.
 Like most of such attacks, Mir. Cameron seizure was extremely sudden. He was fully dressed, and had been going about the house as usual when the end came. He had not been in good health for several years, however, and had complained to friends recently that his sight was failing seriously, and that he suffered from frequent pains in his head. Anticipating that he might not live long he recently deeded most of his property to Mrs. Cameron.
 Colin Cameron came to Arizona from their home in Pennsylvania in the spring of 1882 with his brother, Brewster Cameron, who was killed a few years ago by falling into the river at Niagara Falls. One of the first friends whom they made after their arrival here was J. P. Hohusen, who has since been one of Colin Cameron closest friends.
 Not long afterward, MT. Cameron purchased the San Rafael de la Zanja land grant and cattle at Loehiel, near the international bor- der, from R. R. Richardson. After becoming wealthy in the cattle busi- ness, he built a splendid ranch home on the grant and made it the resi- dence of himself and family. About five years ago when he found his health beginning to fail, he sold his ranch and cattle to the Green Cattle company. He then removed, with his family to Tucson, purchased amount of city property, and made his home here. He was a member of the National Live Stock Association, and was one of the lead ng representatives from Arizona in that organization.
 The deceased was about sixty-two | years of age. He was a member of he Masonic fraternity and held high | degrees in that order. He iE sur rived by Mrs. Cameron, a son, Colin Cameron, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs. Lyman Wakefield, Miss Jean Cameron and Miss Alice Cameron.

HOME EXPLAINED FOR INDECENT
 DRUMMERS

SPOKANE, Wash, March 10. - Preliminary plans have been made to establish a permanent home in Spokane for indigent commercial travellers. Walter P. Edris, post master of Spokane, who was a sales man before he entered the govern ment service, several years ago, is chairman of a committee of the United Commercial travellers having the project in hand. The idea has been approved by commercial men and travellers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Colum- bia. Construction work will begin during the coming summer.
 "We are negotiating for sitely tract of land on which to build the home," MT. Edris said, in making the first announcement of the plan "There are more than 100000 trav- cling salesmen in this country, and all are connected with one or more associations. It will not be a big undertaking to get at least 100000 to join this proposition when they know that by paying $1 a year they will always have as good home as they have been used to, where they will be welcome and receive the best of attention should diversity come or life's twilight begin to fall. To always have that feeling of security and contribute a small amount for the comfort of others is worth many times $1 a year. Though they never expect to take advantage of what is offered, there are many men the country over who will join with us in this enterprise just to know that if things go wrong there is a safe retreat open to them"

FIND RICH ORE IN
 CHEMEHUEVIS MOUNTAINS
Mohave County Miner.l

This week George Grosscup and Jack Simpson arrived in Kingman from Chemehuevis Mountain, where they have been doing assessment work and incidentally trying out the mines by milling some of the ore. Owing to the failure of the water supply they had to discontinue work on the mill and confined their eff forts to opening up the mines. On one of the veins they discovered an outerOp from which they took ore that gave values of better than three ounces of gold and some silver From this ore they recovered fifteen ounces gold and twenty-one ounces silver, and half ton of concentrates that gave values of eleven ounces gold and twenty-one ounces silver. The ore will concentrate about ten tons to one.
 While working on the claims the gentlemen found a new spring, situ- ated about half way between the Sunrise mine and the Sehoolma 'am. This spring is said to flow enough water to supply a five stamp mill and all camp uses. The mill will be re- moved to this spring and the work of prospecting the vein and running the mill on the ore will be carried on without interruption.
 Judge W. B. Blakely is president of the corporation operating the prop critics and several other Kingman peo- pie are interested in the company and mines. Ores from the property that have been exhibited in Kingman show free gold all through them.

 TERROR TO CRIMINALS
(From Wednesdays Daily.) )

Sheriff John Francis of Coconino county, passed through the city yes. terday, en route to Fl Paso, Texas, on a very important criminal trip, that of taking into custody an al. legged murderer, and another man ae- eused of a felony. Sheriff Francis, in the past few years, has effected the capture of every outlaw he has gone after, and the decline in erim- inal misdeeds in his jurisdiction is one of the favorable results of his administration. He states that Flag staff is passing through a very pros porous era, and during the coming summer there will be building boom under way. The growth of the city last year was the largest of any one year in it's history.

MINING IS ACTIVE
 IN WALNUT GROVE
0From Thursdays Daily.)

rEOm 1HuISudy DdllN.)
 Walnut Grove, according to a
 statement made yesterday by A. A.
 Moore, who is in the city the first
 time in several weeks, is more ae. tive in mining than in many years, and, generally speaking, the results are gratifying. Several propositions are mentioned, with placer mining attracting the greatest interest. He says that hydraulic operations are under way about a mile above his ranch, on the Hassayampa, by T. J. Cox, who has installed machinery and is working the banks on the side of the stream, the power being furnished from the pumping plant that is situated in the bed of the creek Small sluiee boxes catch the gold. and it is said that some of the dirt yields a value of over $1 to the cubic yard. The operations of MT. Cox are attracting considerable at tention, and creating interest from the fact that it is the first introdue- ton of this method, and the abund- ance of water makes the plan a feas- ible one In the line of placer oper- ations on an individual basis, others are also sluicing and rocking, and in the aggregate thousands of dollars are being taken out. The placer work will continue as long as the water flow continues sufficient.
 The work going on by the Mines Development company at the old Zonia camp, is also creating eOnsid- erable discussion, two churn drills that immense field to great depth. The work progresses satisfac- torily, but publicity is not given to determinations. Reports are in cir eulation, however, that good copper values have been returned from many of the holes. It is expected that sew eral weeks will be taken up in ex- ploring the belt before active mine development will be started.
 At the Malapai mine, the belief is current that it is one of the coming big gold producers of the district, the uncovering of new and strong ore bodies being the foundation of the report in general circulation.
 At half a dozen other places in the district, individuals are oper- ating quietly and maing some re- showings. Many of the mines are being opened to consider able depth, from several years of periodical development. Many in- vestOrs are visiting the district, and it is probable, MT. Moore says, that some good sales will be recorded in | short time. The entry of the Mines Development company to that feld, and the practical manner in which they are operating, at a great outlay of capital, mas revived interest in the district in not alone copper but in other minerals

CENSUS BUREAU
 TO SHOW NEW FACTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., March B.
 Two important innovations will be made in the compilation of mortality statistics by the Bureau of the Cen
 sus, beginning with the report for
 1910, In preparation under the di- reetion of Dr. Greasy L. Wilbur, chief statistician for vital statistics.
 These comprise the tsbulation of the rate of mortality by days of age for the first three weeks of life and by months for the first two years of life; and also detail informa- tion including principal causes of death with distinction as to age and sex for the more numerous and i'm portant nationalities of the foreign population, such as Irish, German, Italian, etc
 These statistics are expected to add important and valuable informa- tion to current knowledge of infant mortality and of the comparative vii tality of the foreign element in the United States.
 Up to January 10, 1911, the Bu- reau of, the Census received tran scripts of 611,639 deaths, which oe- cured in the registration area during the year 1910, of which number 5Is,- 4O4 were from the registration states. This area comprises over 55 per cent of the total population of the United States; therefore, the information. re- garding the infant mortality by days and months of age and the relative rate of mortality among the differ ent nationalities of the foreign pop ulation will apply to about 5o,OOO,OOO people.
 How many babies die before they are weeks old, and on what day of their agel How many die before they are years old, and in what month of their age' These important questions will be fully answered by the new figures of the mortality sta tisties of the Census Bureau. It is by means of such statistics that ad- vance toward arresting the appalling death rates of infants is facilitated, and aid given to the great move ment now in progress for the saving of the many thousand of babies lives in the United States whose death is preventable. It is now estimated that the deaths of babies less than l year old form one-ffth of the total an- nual death rate.
 The comparative mortality of the various nationalities among the for eign population will be absolutely unique, for nothing quite like it will be available elsewhere for the stu dent of ethnOlogy and sociology. Is the German element in the popula- ton of the United States harder and longer lived than the Irish or the Itslianf Is either of these races, pr any other, hardier than the na- tive American stoekf What races are lying the fastest after coming to the United States, and also in what To- ,ahties is the death rate among them he nighest9 The great importance If the statistics of this character is 'een from the fact that the foreign clement at present constitutes about 'ne-third of the total. This kuowl- sdge will be of great value in the judy of the immigration question.
 When this new information has be- ome available through the publica- ion of the Census Mortality Statis- ies for 1910, there will then be no ther country in the world with so arge a body of facts conveniently on the problems involved.

ANOTHER DELAY IS
 GRANTED PACKERS
Judge Carpenter PostpOnes Hearing Until De-
 cember 6

Chicago, November 24.-Judge George A. Carpenter in the United States district court today granted the indicted Chi cago packers a delay in their criminal trial until December 6. pending proceed ing for the defendants before the United States supreme court.
 Counsel for the packers will seek fur ther delay when the federal supreme court reconvenes at Washington December f. A motion for a stay order in the form of a supersedas will be presented then to the supreme court.
 Judge Carpenter suggested that the se- lection of jurors for the trial, begin next Monday and that no witnesses be called until the supreme court had ruled on the packers motion. This was objected to, however, by Attorney John s. Miller, chief counsel for the packers.
 'Tf the jury was selected and it took two weeks to get this matter decided by the supreme court" said MT. Miller, there would be further delay and if a stay order was entered our time would be wasted. Then, too, I understood that the jury will be ordered locked up. We wish to avoid any such thing"
 Unless there is serious objection the matter win go over until December at 10 o'clock" said Judge Carpenter. With this ruling the brief court proceedings in the case were terminated for the day.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS FAVOR W. [. QUINN
Doctors Statement Helps Man Accused of Murder
 of Schwarz

Developments, which may ultimately prove the undoing of the network of evi- dence built up by the officers against Walter E. Quinn. charged with killing Harry Schwarz, were brought forth by a statement made by the physicians at the Hillman hospital who attended Schwarz.
 schwarz came to the Hillman hospital Saturday morning with a gash in his right temple, which was dressed. He was al most immediately discharged by the hos gdtal.
 Later he came back to the hospital where he died Wednesday afternoon. Con- sequently the deduction was that the hlow on the head caused his death.
 Walter Quinn was arrested Thursday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Ford McDufi charged with the killing. Quinn admit ted that he hit schwarz who was Quinn'' brother-in-law, on the head with soda water bottle. but maintained that lie did St in self defense.
 Now comes the statement from the hos pital that the blow on Schwarz's head did not cause his death, nor could it have done so, because there was no fracture of the skull. The physician stated that the large gash seen in the mans head at Lige Loys undertaking shop, was caused by it being enlarged by an autopsy held at the hospital after his death.
 The physician further states that the direct cause of SchwarZ's death was titanus, or ioclxjaw, and that th' chances of titanus being caused by ( wound on the head were about 100' to 1 against it. He says that ther' was a slight abrasion on the mans foot which could possibly have caused te tanus However, he states the cause o1 this particular case of tetanus coul not be determined. It was said tha lock jaw is frequently caused by al injury to the hand or foot, wherea: a case from an injury or blow to th head is one of extreme rarity.
 This new phase of the case has bee splaced in the hands of the sheriff and is thought will be introduced at tn preliminary trial of MT. Quinn, the dat for which has not yet been set
