BIG TONNAGE IS
 AVAILABLE FOR TREATMENT
CFrom Thursdays Daily)


 After three years of development of the old Tiger mine in the Brad shaw mountains, during which time several thousands of tons of ore have been placed on the dump, treatment of the yield is to begin immediately, was the announcement made yster- day by H. J. Meany, general manager of the Yavapai Consolidated, Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Company. operating the property with other valuable mines in that section. The old mill has been overhauled and placed in first-class condition. Ten stamps will be dropping in a few days, and it is the intention to make an experimental run at once. From samples taken of the dump, success ful results are assured.
 The purpose is also to increase the mine force, the old drifts being opened and showing favorable condi- tions for extensive development. In fact, it is said. this old and famed mine, through the system employed by the present management, is at tracing considerable interest and has a decidedly flattering outlook.
 The old Tiger was the first to come into prominence in the Brad shaw mountains, and under primitive and expensive methods of operating, proved remunerative, until its base ores of varying grade, were uncount- cred at depth. With cheaper trans portation, and reduced cost of min ing and reduction, its entry into an active state, naturally follows. The property was among the first in the county to have a mill placed on it, and when under operation in early days quite a large community known as Bradshaw city was maintained by | it for several years.

During their stay in the north they made trip over the route of the territorial highway from Prescott to Flagstaff.

Barton who died Sunday evening at 4o'elock at the Pfau mine in the Cherry Creek district, were taken to the city yesterday by her sorrowing hus- band and Lester Ruffner and are being prepared for interment at the Ruffner undertaking establishment. The funeral will be held this after noon at 3 o'clock from the Ruffner chapel and interment will be in Mountain View cemetery.
 Mrs. Barton succumbed to paralysis after an illness of five days. Dr. Riley Shrum of Jerome was called to her bedside when she was strick ken and although he resorted to every. thing known to medical science she gradually sank until death came as a relief to her sufferings.
 Mrs. Barton was born in Missouri sixty years ago. At an early age she accompanied her parents to Texas where she and MT. Batton were joined in wedloek. They lived several years in New Mexico before coming to Arizona nearly a quarter of a century ago and resided in the southern part of the territory before making this county their home.
 Mrs. Barton's death will be widely regretted as she was a woman of endearing personality, sunny and charitable disposition. Besides her husband she leaves surviving two sons, R. F. Barton, filling a respon- sible position with the Bashford- Burmister Company, Emmett Barton of Mayer and a daughter, Mrs. G. W. Raley of Minetti, Washington.

YAVAPAI CONVICT
 ESCAPES FROM PRISON
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

I VT AO4A4 " GuuGSudy ; OdLl.J
 TEMPE, Ariz., June 27.- Charles
 Mccarthy, a convict, escaped from
 the stockade here last Friday even-
 ing at about o'clock, and up to
 the time of this writing he has not
 yet been caught. He was one of
 the twenty-five prisoners that are
 here working on the bridge, and was carpenter helper, and at , o'clock
 when the time came to quit work,
 he with all the rest of the men was checked in. At the supper table, however, 1t was noted that he was not present. He was looked for and it was found that he had gone to point a short distance east of the stoekade where the horses are kept and there got into one of the irrigat- ing canals which happened to be dry at the time, and getting down on his hands and knees he went in this posi- tiOn until he passed the bridge. There he got up and walked or ran down through the river bed in western direction. As soon a. his tracks were found a number of men employed on the surveying force and other men working on the works set out in pursuit of him. Captain Van Sycle immediately phoned to the sheriff and also set out to hunt for him. His tracks were found, as he wore the usual hob nail shoe, and his track was kept until the cement mill was passed, where his track was lost. On account of darkness some of the party then returned, but the greater amount of the men remained In that vicinity during the night.
 Saturday news was sent broadcast through the country. Sheriff Hay den made trip to the Maricopa and Saeaton reservations and told the h. dians of the one hundred dollars re- ward, and it is likely that many of the Indians were on the trail yester- day or at least looking for it.
 The only person that has seen him at all are a couple of Mexican boys who live below the cement plant | who say that they saw him Satur- day morning.
 Mccarthy was a trusty, as were all the men brought here, and Mir. Van Syele stated yesterday that he was always a good prisoner and seem- ed to behave himself. He was sent up from Yavapai county on a charge of burglary and was received at the prison last November to serve a sen tence of three years and six months, and had he continued his good be- haviOr and with the credit that he would have gotten for the work here, he would have been paroled within a year. He was born in Fl Paso and the only relative known is a sister n Sonora, Mexico.

NARROW ESCAPE
 FROM DEATH IN WE'LL.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Information received yesterday from Jerome Junction, is to the effect that
 c. A. French had a very narrow es- cape from death through asphyxia- tion few days ago while digging 2 well on his farming lands. He had finished drilling for the time and went below to spring the hole with giant powder. The shot was fired and after a few hours had elapsed he went below. As soon as he reach ed the bottom, he was partially over come. Giving the alarm to his son at the top he was hoisted to the sur face, and was found to be seriously affected. He was carried to his house near by, and by that time had lapsed into an unconscious condition, re- maining So for over an hour. He was finally resuscitated, and at last accounts was rapidly improving. He states that as soon as he reached the bottom, a stifling odor seized him, and he instantly realized the danger, when he signalled to the surface to be raised. He had a very narrow es- cape, and had he not had the pres enee of mind to realize his preearious situation, serious results would have followed.

GOVERNMENT BY
 COMMISSION SUCCESS

SPOKANE, Wash, June 2s.-Three months trial of the commission form of government in Spokane has con- vineed many, including the severest critics of the plan, that the affairs of the municipality today are con- ducted with greater efficiency, econ omy and dispatch than under any ad- ministratiOn, since the incorporation of the city in 1881. Many wastes have been stopped, numerous abuses have been corrected and modern methods are now employed in all the departments. The business of the city is conducted in the same manner that a successful merchant or manu- facturer operates his store or factory plant. Robert Fairley, commissioner of finance, said today that. while there is nothing certain yet relative to a reduction in taxes, he is pre- pared to show that the taxpayers have received 100 eents' worth of work for every dollar expended by the commission. Commissioner Fair ley has received requests from more than 100 cities in various parts of the country for copies of the spo- kane charter, which is declared to be the most advanced practical plan in Ameriea

rich in olivine are by far the most important source. They alter to ser pentine and under favorable eondi- tions give rise to asbestos. The pur- CT the serpentine the more likely it is to contain asbestos, especially if the serpentine has been greatly frae- tured and intruded by granite dikes, as in the vicinity of Thetford, Cans> da. Rocks and conditions similar to those of the asbestos region of Cana da but much less rich in asbestos occur near Lowell, Vt., and Caspar, Wyo., where prospecting and mining operations are now being carried on.
 A small amount of cross fiber as- bestOs of high grade has been taken out near the bottom of the Grand Can yon of the Colorado, and there are large masses of low-grade asbestos in Georgia and Idaho which have been operated to a greater or less extent. With the immense supply of high grade asbestos at our Canadian door aS well as an increasing production in the United States-already about 4 per cent of the Canadian output the asbestos industry of this eoun- try is in good condition.

That the layman in the Arkansas
Valley may have a better understand
Ing of the figures involved in the
Kansas colorado water suits, the fol-
lowing data is offered
There has been appropriated from
the Arkansas river senior to Janu-
AIRY /, 1884, S2l second feet. There
has been appropriated Junior to that
date 5.539 acre feet. The water suit
involves the latter amount of the
water, or something running about
S7is per cent of the total appropriat-
ed water of the entire river. In the
lower end OF the valley the per cent
is a little greater.
However. in giving the figures.
there is no reason to believe for one
minute that any danger exists, other
than the danger involved in any suit
Of law. 1t exists for the reason that
such a suit regardless of the worth
Of his claims, and there is no reason
to feel for one minute that the water
conditions in the Arkansas Valley viii
not remain as they are. The suit
exists, however. and the Arkansas
Valley Ditch Association. aided by
the state is defending them as a mat
ter of policy. and taking no chances
with the greatest asset the state
has.
Recent decisions in water matters
fully settle all doubt OF any outcome.
and 1t Is said that Kansas residents
take the suit very lightly. and with
no reason to believe that there is
anything In them other than a last
chance. The state of Kansas AS a
state, was fully convinced Of that in
the last suit. and the final decision
of which was given by Justice Brew
er Of the United States supreme
court. and general basing laws are
