CONFIRMS PRESS
 REPORTS OF BATTLE.
lFrom Thursday,s Daily.l


 Dr. l.. C. Gonzales, formerly a practising dentist of this city, now located in Bisbee was an arrival and will remain for a few days visit ing his mother, Mrs. J. NJ. Watts and his many friends. During the recent Agua Prieta battle near Douglas, he says with others in an auto he witnessed that thrilling en- gagement and confirms the press reports published as true in every detail. Visiting the camps of the belligerents, deplorable conditions were in evidence among the wounded, the federals especially negleeting to care for those shot and refusing as sistance from the American Red Cross who magnanimOusly volunteered their services. The condition of the wounded was heart-rending, and more passed away from neglect after fall ing than were hit by bullets. The battle had its ludicrous as well as it's interesting features, and was well worth the dangers experienced.

MACHINERY FOR NEW
 PLANT IS ARRIVING.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Arriving yesterday from the old
 Tiptop mines, E. G. and F. E. Wager,
 who are identified with the property
 as members of the Tiptop Heath Min
 ing Company, which has revived the
 old bonanza silver producer of early.
 days, the statement is made by them
 that modern machinery is arriving at
 the camp and by July reduction will
 be under way. The method of treat ing the dumps that accumulated in early days, with ores exposed in the drifts and stopes will be by eOneen- tratiOn, and a minimum volume of 10000 tons is the estimate.
 Interest attaches to this proposi- tiOn from the fact that tungsten values are known to be carried in the ores which were permitted to lay on the dump as useless when the property was abandoned over a quarter of century ago. Another important consideration attached to this property is that the average grade ores were left in the stopes and until the property was acquired by the present company, and the old workings exposed, but a vague idea of the ground was known. The fu- ture of this property is believed to be attractive, and the recovery of the tungsten metal alone, is said to warrant the outlaying of the capital now being spent to revive this fa- nous producer of the pioneer era. The new plant will h2.-e a capacity of thirty tons a day.

 Miss Lima Eldred. who passed through the trying ordeal of teach ing the public school at Naeo, dur ing the recent insurreeto trouble in Mexico, and performed the duty com plaeently and faithfully, arrived in the city yesterday from Kirkland Valley, and will be the guest of Mir. and Mrs. A.

Miss Eldred, previous to going to the troublesome line country, was a resident of this city, and bears an excellent reputa- tion as an educator. She gave @, thrilling account of life on the bor-- der, and the danger incident to being on the firing line at all times of the day and night, but did not mention. whether she followed out the or thodox rule to "teaeh the young idea how to shoot.''

A fine instance of the value of good automobile roads may be found in the assertion of "Dud" Clark, that, had it not been for the build ing the Del Rio-Ash Fork road, the great Cathedral Cave, situated twelve miles due south from Ash Fork, might never have been discovered or explored.
 The party which explored the cave Sunday remained in its subterranean recesses for about three hours, and was equipped with every facility necessary for its thorough exploita- tion. Considerable difficulty was met with at the orifiee, which is but sixteen inches wide, consisting of two pieces of flat rock extending from the surface in an oblique diree- tion for eight feet and terminating in space.
 By the courtesy of Mr. Clark, Sup ervisor Barney Smith and Don Senor Patterson, a rough step-ladder and rope was rigged from the surface to the termination of the Oblique en- trance and another ladder was placed at its end, extending about thirty feet down to the floor of the cave at point about fifty feet from it's back wall.
 Once at the foot of the ladder the cave opens a vista of about 300 feet, eighty-five feet wide, having a vault ed roof not unlike that of a grand cathedral
 Stalagmites and stalactites of my riad shapes and sizes increase the wis itor's wonderment at every step. A full description of the cave will ap- pear later.
 The party consisted of Messrs. F. W. Foster. Al. Weber, Barney Smith and O. A. Hesla and Paul Burks. with their ears, which carried Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Hesla, Charlie Hesla, Miss Blanche Foster, MT. Gentry, Forest Supervisor Hinderer, Assayer Barnhart. Jesse Kellum, M. A. Fraser and Erwin Baer, official phOtog- grapher.

Editorial Comment

nix impressed the visitors deeply. Now, they insist, it is Prescott $ turn to show hospitality and good will. The people of Prescott are making extensive preparations to entertain their visitors from Phoenix on May 27. News of these preparations is not necessary, however, to convince the people of Phoenix that they will be made to feel thoroughly welcome and at home when they visit their northern neighbOrs. They have known for long time that there is nothing of the provincial, crossroads town in the makeup of Prescott. There is no jealousy of Phoenix at Prescott, nor is there jealousy of Prescott here. Each of these thriving cities has its own sphere of development. Anything which helps one city helps the other, and the people of both cities, being broad-guage citizens of Arizona, are always ready to boost for the whole territory.
 It would be good thing for Ari- zOna if this "get together spirit could be made dominant in otLer cities of the territory. The spirit ex- ists; it is only necessary to make it manifest. It would be a fine thing, for example, if the cities of Phoenix and Tucson could be brought closer together in feelings of mutual inter est. It is impossible to make the people of Phoenix believe that the people of Tucson are so provincial as to approve the constant eaterwaulng against Phoenix which eharaeterizes the Tucson Star. The intelligent citizens of both Tucson and Phoenix fully understand that the two cite. have every reason to pull together and that there is no sensible reason for jealousy and ill will.
 The business and professional men of Phoenix and the business and pro- fessional men of Tucson ought to arrange to visit each other and get better acquainted. Provineialism is only another name for lack of knowl- edge of other communities A self suspicious provineialism is chiefly responsible for making China a laughing stock for the rest Of the world -|t

BOTH FERNINsT IT.

Whatever the platforms declare two years hence, it is a good guess that both the nominees for the presi- dency will be on record as against the recall of judges, For within a few hours of each other, both Presi- dent Taft and Woodrow Wilson, whose cinch on the democratic nom- ization seems unquestioned, declared anew their opposition to this doe Urine.
 MT. Wilson made his statement in Los Angeles, and made it the more positive in challenging newspaper report to the effect that he "might be convinced. 7" For the afternoon papers in the city, unwilling to re- port that this democrat of such i'm posing rank was opposed to the re call of judges quoted him as being in somewhat uncertain mind on the subject At the first public oppOr- tunity, few hours later, NIT. Will son removed the uncertainty, and declared himself against the plan.
 In a speech in New York the same (Saturday) night, President Taft said:
 And now, not content with re-
 ducing the position of the judge
 to one something like that of the
 moderator in a religious assem-
 ply or the presiding officer of
 a political convention, the judge
 is to be made still less important
 and to be put still more on trial
 and to assume still more the
 character of a defendant by
 provision of law under which, if
 his rulings and conduct in court
 do not suit a small percentage
 of the electors of his district he
 may be compelled to submit the
 question of his continuance on the bench during the term for which he was elected to an cleo tion for recall, in which the req son for his recall is to be in- eluded in 200 words and his de- fense thereto to be equally brief.
 It can hardly be said that this proposed change, if adopted, will give him greater authority or power for usefulness or con stitute a reform in the enforce ment of the criminal law of this country. It will certainly not diminish the power or irrespon- sibility of counsel for the defend ant. Let us hope that the strong sense of honor of the American peOpe, which so often saved them from the dangers of demagoguary, vii not be lacking in respect to this "nostrum.
 So that so far as these candidates are concerned, and they are more than likely to be the opposing can didates, they stand on a common plank opposing the application of the recall to the judiciary.
