State Quarantine
Orders

Following a joint conference
of the State Board of Health
with the Council and Committee
on Public Policy of the Arizona
Medical Association, at the Cap
itol, August 19, the Board of
Health, actingon the recommend
ations of the conference, amend
ed it's regulations so that infant
lie epidemic paralysis is added to
the list of communicable diseases
included in the quarantine regu-
lations of the Arizona Health
Laws.
''All children entering Arizona
from California will be placed in
quarantine for fifteen days, the
incubation period of this disease
This is already being done in most
of the cities of Arizona, but is to
be made a universal practice all
over the state. Of more import
ance, perhaps in preventing the
disease, all clothing and per-
sonal effects brought in by any
one from Califoria must be fumi-
gated Immediately on arrival at
it's destination, The County
Health officers, with the aid Of
the City Health boards, will take
this in charge.
Residents of Arizona with
children visiting in California are
advised to bring them home at
once, subject to the modified
quarantine which will be imposed
on their arrival; otherwise,
should the epidemic increase, an
absolute quarantine forbidding
the entrance of children under
fifteen years Of age from Cali
fornia will be instituted, which
might result in keeping Arizona
children in California, or away
from home, indefinitely. Friends
and relatives OF families now in
California are asked to write
them these facts.

Death Takes Toll of 5000
Lives

CoNSTANTINoPLE, Aug. H.
The American guardship 'Scorp-
ion' which returned today from
the district south of the Sea of
Marmora, where the earthquake
was severe on Aug. IA, reported
that at least 5000 people were
killed. Many villages are a heap
of charred ruins. Others are un-
approachable because of the
stencil arising from the dead
bodies.
The plight of the survivors is
most horrible. Succor was Civ
en- all within reach of the "Sc-
orpion, " while other relief boats
will be sent out. The quake con-
tlnues daily in that district.

Darrow not Guilty, Spectac-
ular Demonstration Follows
FOreman's Announcement
of Verdict
Jurors Shake DarrOw's
Spectators Tender
Reception

LOS ANGELES. Aug. II. &C. S.
Darrow, the noted Chicago at
torney. was found not guilty to-
day of the charge OF bribing a
Mcnamara juror.
The jury was out thirty-four
minutes, and but one ballot was
taken.
Though warned by the court in
stern tones against any demon
stration, there was a spontaneous
outburst when the foreman, M.
R. Williams, in response to the
courts query if a verdict had been
reached, announced that the jury
found Darrow not guilty.
Instantly there was rush for
the defendant. The bailiffs for
a moment stopped the Demon
stration, but it was again renew
ed. Amid the hubbub the court
thanked the jury and discharged
them.
Then ensued a remarkable
scene. Darrow, approaching the
jurors, who were still in the box,
thanked them individually, when
two of them, Dunbar and Gold
ing, threw their arms around his
neck and patted him on the back.
Other jurors reached forward
and shook his hand.
The scene gradually resolved
itself into reception for the ac-
cused and his counsel, nearly all
the court room crowding forward
to congratulate all connected with
the defense, while the flashlights
of newspaper cameras doomed
on every side.

Twin Peaks Lively Camp

Iy dIlu supplies nave Doon unload
ed from the Arizona and New
Mexico railroad at York station
and large number of mountain
freighting mules and also the
Twin Peaks company's mules are
hauling it to the mines of Twin
Peaks, 10 miles east of here.
There are about rs men now on
the Twin Peaks company's pay
roll. A small crew engaged on
the road work, completing a new
road which follows a long level
mesa to the rim rocks, distance
of eight miles. The mesa is
smooth with a gradual grade.
making an ideal road even for
automobiles. From the rim rock
to Twin Peaks camps a distance
OF, about two miles, the road has
also been improved so that teams
are now making the round
trip from York to the mining
camp daily. Heretofore it took
two days.
The construction work of one
OF the most modern and uptodate
types OF concentrating and cyan
lding mills ever built in this sec
tlon is now under way at the
Twin Peaks camp. The plans
were first designed by J. w.
Kniffen and the work is now un-
der the supervision of Mr.. Bryan,
mining engineer and metallurgist
formerly of Miami, Ariz.
A large storehouse isbeing COM
pleted and the cemented stone
work of the foundation for the
mill is finished and mill timbers
and machinery are being unload
ed at the mill site. The camp
presents an unusual scene of ac-
tivity. The Free Gold shaft which
has about 1000 feet Of develop
ment done, will be the main pro-
ducer of gold ore for the new
mill.
Preparations are being made
for the installation of machine
drills. The mine is already eq-
uipped with a 100 horsepower air
compressor and a large air recei-
yer, a rs horsepower steam hoist.

for at least 1900 feet Of depth.
Two 65 horsepower boilers fur
nish the steam for power.
A large go horsepower automo-
bile is being employed for trans
portation of passengers and light
freighting from Clifton, York
and Duncan, Ariz.
Probably to the efforts of JOS
eph F. Fraser more than anyone
else is due this great activity in
the Twin Peaks mining camp.
He arrived here a couple of weeks
ago from Cedar Rapids Ia., where
he has been for several months
promoting the interests of these
mines and interesting eastern
capital. He has raised about
$3.50, 900, which is being used ex-
clusively for the Improvement
and developement of the big
group of gold mines and for the
installation of the new mill.
There are four Fraser brothers
and they came originally from
western Ontaro, Canada. Jim
Fraser struck out for the far
west and became a miner, work
ing in the big mines of Colorado.
In 1904 Jim made the strike at
Twin Peaks, finding some extre-
mely high grade ore on the very
surface. The next year his bro
theirs, Dan and Alex, on his sug-
gestion, joined in the develop
ment of the mines. Two years
later Joseph Fraser also sold out
and came and cast his fortune
with the others. It was strictly
a family affair in the prospective
stages. When they were posit-

In adopting the Shackleford good

democratic party in the lower branch of
congress has added another to the list
of 1908 platform pledges which 1t has
carried out or attempted to carry ont
since gaining control Of the popular
body in 1910.
Both the republicans and the demo-
Gratis favored good roads legislation In
their platforms Of 1908 but in the 81st
congress the republicans were too busy
taking other matters up and when they
went out Of power at the beginning OF
the 6cnd congress they left many
mighty good openings, including this,
for the democrats.
Many republicans can share the
credit with the democrats and among
them are the members Of the Iowa del

leford bill. and one Of whom. Mr.. Ken
dali of the sixth district. was very ac-
tive in its behalf from the day the bill
was endorsed by the advocates Of good
roads legislation. " .t
