BIG STRIKE MADE AT
 THE UNION MINE Hpom ThnssAax, DailYN

The wisdom of giving young men hand in the mine operating game, particularly where they are fortified with practical experience and col Iegiate course along scientific lines, was cxemplificd recently in the big strike that was made at the Union mine in Chaparral by w. II. Jones, who was entrusted by his father with the sole operating of the prop erty.
 The cutting into of new and un- known ore body has been determin- ed. and exploration given in the past week has demonstrated the property as facing its most attrac- tive prospect in many years.
 The development was started by Mir. Jones in crcss-cu, that pene- ,rated the dolor.p. footwall in the Union stope about 80 feet above inc floor of the drift. A fivc-ioo' ore-body was encountered, thirty inches of which assayed $iS per ion in gold. The shipping orc o' the sample was left out, and wher assayed gave values of $2 per tor in gold.

 Embodying naughi but facts. yet stranger than fiction is the dramatic story told by C.. c. Goodwin who has just arrived from the troubled centcrs of Mexico. Mir. Goodwin is we'll known in Prescott. having at one time been connected with the Humboldt smclter and other con cerns in this county as mechanical engineer. Being fresh from the in- surrccto country his recital of con ditions there will be read with more than ordinary interest.
 He prcfaces his review of the de- plorable condition of Southeastern Sonora, where he has been for the past five years. by stating that press reports coming out of that country to the American newspaper arc con sidercd as exaggerated. On the other hand. Mir Goodwin declares not one quarter of the awful state of affairs has leaked out. and only the refugee can give a clear con ception of what is and has been prevailing for the last two revolu- ,ions in the guerilla warfare that is rampant, and the death list oi

 With the storms of March, and the big one of Wednesday, caicu- lations arrived at in the flow of Granite and Willow creeks were sufficient to fill the main storage reservoir at least three times. It is probable that when construction begins on this great water conser- vation project, the plans in dam construction will be materially alter. ed to accommodate what may req sonably be expected in the annual downpours of this watershed in the summer season and not taking into consideration the winter snowfall.

 The two men were intoxicated and the trouble arose over money matters. Without any warning. and while the two men were indulging in . wosdy wrangle. Garcia, ac- eording to the statements made by eye witnesses, pulled his knife from its sheath and struck at ve- laseo. the latter raising his right hand in an attempt to ward off the blow. when the blade passed through the palm of his right hand and entered the side of his neck to the depth of over three inches, severing the jugular vein. He reel ed for several feet and fell to the ground, expiring without uttering . word. After velsseo was wounded, the blood spurtsd several feet in the air. and those present stated that the sight was . ghastly one, as the dying man uttered several inarticulate moans.
 Garcia, after committing the crime. was captured by Deputy Sheriff Frank Burnell while in the act of leaving the place. Garcia later was taken before the justice of the peace. and pleaded guilty to murder. being placed under bonds of $s.o00 to appear before the grand jury. He was brought to Prescott yesterday morning and placed in the county jail.

HUNT DENOUNCED BY PROSPECTORS
(Daily Silver Belt)

Great indignation prevails among thc miners and the prospee,ors at many of the camps and prospects oi this section because of the fact iha, it begins to appear as though i, would not be possible to get an application in the near future of the principles of the initiative, the referendum and the recall to the miners lien law. Up to the present whenever the subject of the miners lien law has been up for discussion the disposition of the practical politicians in charge of matters here and at Phoenix has been to pass 1t of with a Well if the people don't Ike the law they can get rid of 1t through the initiative and the ref crendum." This has had the effect O. pacifying those persons who do not like the law and they have been quite busy industriously circulating petitions tending to show that the people of the new state arc opposed 10 the measure and that they arc really anxious for an opportunity of voting the so-called miners lien law out of existence.
 But during the past week the evil dencc has been accommodating to de- monstratc that the practical poli- tioians have only been playing with the opponents of the miners lien law much the same as cat plays with a mouse. Statements are now being made to the effect that the people are not to be even given chance to vote upon the so-called miners lien law--at least not before the election of l9i4 The big min ing companies arc said to favor the miners lien law because tt has a tendency of centralizing that in dus,ry in Arizona in the hands of few men, so far as Arizona IS N'HNrTncus NVu " is s"""N' ''N big mining companies will not hcsi- late to appeal to the highest court teyen 10 the Supreme Court of the United States) to maintain the lead which they have secured.

 One peculiar thing in connection with the miners lien law IS tha while the old prospectors back II ihe hills are bitter, their bitternes appears to have been directed no against the courts of the new stat rendering the decision against al election of state officials this ia' but against the Democratic mach'n of which Gov.
