SENATOR WOOD SEEKS
 REPEAL OF LIEN LAW
tF'rom Fridays Daiiy)

So unjust and SO iniquitous is the new mine lien law regarded through out Arizona in the mining counties | especially. that decided movement was initiated yesterday under the referendum clause of the constitu- ton to submit the matter to the voters direct. asking for the repeal of the statute
 Senator II. R. Wood. from this county, is in charge of the move lnent, and was busily engaged in forwarding to all sections of the state the necessary petitions for the legal number of names to be at ,ached thereto for voting theron at the first state election. Senator Wood stated yesterday that the en- iioreement of this law, which orig mated in the house of the last legislature, would work greater hardship on the mine owner than the investor, and for that specific reason, he would assist in having it repealed. taking the referendum avenue as the easiest manner in which to accomplish this object.
 Since the legislature adjourned. and the import of the new mine lien law has been given publicity. mine owners have been indignantly protesting over the substitution of the new for the old law. Analyzing the situation, they face condition that will prevent development rather than encourage the investment of capital, by having their interests held responsible for any debts or obligations that may arise over the operating of their property.
 50 Tar as certain mining proper ties arc to he considered in this field. which arc in state of limited development, and which are desired by the lcaser or operator under a bond. six deals have been abandoned within the past week. the owner refusing to assume the obligations ot operators, at the possible sacrifice oi his interests for any debts that may be contracted. while on the other hand. the investor has flatly refused to give security while en- gagged in developing the property
 Under the old law which the new one repeals. the mine could not be held responsible for any debts con tracted by any operator other than the owner. by legal notice being given to that effect. In Mohave county the new law is regarded as the hardest blow ever extended the mining industry and will practically stampede the future investor from that field
 In this county. likewise, as the import of the law is being realized, the small mine owner states that the crisis that faces him practically means the annihilation of his years of labor The petitions to be circu- lated will be wholesomely endorsed, by not alone mining men. but also by all residents in any line of industry.

BUSINESS CAUSES
 DORIAN TO RESIGN
(From Wednssday's Daily.)

Major A. J. Doran. superintendent
 of the Arizona Pioneers Home in
 this city, has rendered his rcsigna-
 ton to Governor Hunt, this an
 nouncement being made yesterday.
 and causing considerable surprise
 Tn speaking of his actions to be re-
 lieved of the duty. Major Doran
 stated that private business interests
 require his attention. much as he regrets to step down from an office
 that has been filled with many pleasant conditions in looking after the wants of the Hassayampcrs. of which colony he is member.
 In speaking of the home. he re. calls the first agitation that arose for this institution to be created. and which practically had it's founda ton from an incident that occurred several years before favorable iegis- lative action resulted. The occasion was one day. when Captain ]. R. Boyd the original discover of the now great United Verde mine was seen lettering down Gurley street. iriendless and penniless. This pathetic scene inspired the idea in the mind of Major Dorsn and other pioneer residents, that Arizona could lily afford to permit such splendid and deserving men to pass their declining days in the throes of want and despair. when the idea was instantly graspcd to take care of them in the same spirit of fellow ship that other states had carried out SO justly and successfully.
 The following year Major Doran was elected to the council of the Legislature. when bill was framed for the creation of the pioneer home It met with cruel treatment in a pocket veto. Two years later. the movement was revived and stren. uously advocated. with Geo. D. Nor ris of this city, as it's young Iegis. lative sponsor. The bill passed with rising vote. and the present mag niiieent structure echoes the fulfill ment of the devotion of the present generation to those of the long ago. the original pathfinders of the southwest

REMARKABLE AGE
 OF MRS. LUIS PARRA
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Mrs Luis Para. one of the oldest
 women in the nation. was brought
 to Prescott few days ago from
 southern Arizona. to escape the in
 tense heat, and if possible to pro
 long her earthly career. This his
 forical and interesting Castilian. has reached the ripe old age of nearly to substantate that remarkable span
 in human endurance. produces au thcnticated statements from official sources of Mexico. She was born m Hermosillo, Sonora. in September o' l797. and in lineage is of the pure Castilian race Her complexion
 IS of that light olive tint that is typical of her ancestral relations. while a pair of deep blue eyes welds the link of her progeny.
 This remarkable old lady is al the home of Mrs Jesus Rivera on South Montezuma street. where she will remain until the warm weather abates in the south, and she presents picture that thrills the many who have called out of a passing fancy to behold the little withcred creature whose longevity is SO remarkable. Her physical condition today cx- cites admiration. and barring the fact that she is sleeping the greater portion of the day and night time. when awake she moves on her feet with an agility that IS surprising Yesterday afternoon she was taken for walk among the rocks and performed the feat without the least fatigue.
 Immediately after returning she stepped to the side of her bed and in few seconds was lost in slumber. She is but five feet in lhcighth. and when weighed the day she arrived tipped the scales al an even sixty pounds She converscs an an audible and intelligent manner at times. but the exer,ion soon has its effect, and her mind begins to wander into the days of the dreamy past Her hearing Is splendid. but one eye has lost it's usefulness. With the remaining one, however, sine can discern objects far away.
 Her appetite is like unto that of a little child. and her food must be prepared with all the delieaey to he extended an infant. This frail little woman was in Prescott early m 1864, and recalls the shadowy past with many interesting "reminiscences, and when her husband belonged to a company of Mexican soldiers who participated in the Indian wars under Stoneman. Howard and Crook. Over forty years ago her husband was killed in the Verde valley country. while fighting the Apache
 Mrs. Parra stated yesterday that sine first arrived in Arizona and located at Tucsan sixty-three years ago, as best she can recall dates.
