He was working for the swas' tika Mines company, A new mining enterprise located about old Fort Mo have. and with other employees was bathing.
 The water was very cold, and 1t is believed he was seized with cramps while swimming close to the bank. He never appeared on the surface after going down, and his bcdy up to date had not been recovered. The de- ceased arrived in this section from Bisbee. and lived here for about three months.

 The posts recommended to be abol. ished, according to Secretary stim. son, have lost their strategic import. anee. by the change in conditions that have followed in the pas, de. eadc, and studies at the war college indicate that the mobilizing of the troops stationed at the above posts would result in a saving of over five and one-hslf million of dollar, an. nually.
 In retaining Fort Sill, Okla, the report specifically mentions that it IS desirable center for establishing z a school of musketry and artillery.
 Fort Huaehuca, on the Mexican boundary, is requested to be main. tained for limited time.
 The sweeping change that is desired in the location of army posts is rec. commended on the principle of having a mobile center which is favorable for transportation, administration and supply. where posts in groups are to be maintained. These will be distri. buted at the several strategic points indicated as follows: On the line be. tween the St. Lawrence and Atlanta covering the Atlantic Seabosrd, be. tween Puget Sound and Los Angeles, covering the Pacific Seaboard, be. tween the Great Lakes and the Rio Grande.

 CONTINUES ON VERDE
(From Tiday's Daily.)

P. l.. Griffin and James Page re. turned to Prescott yesterday after in' spcc,ing thoroughly the wells of the Jerome Oil company at Jerome and the Verde Valley Oil company, at Ol City.
 The latter well was down $50 feet yesterday. Wednesday night, the dnlers struck a change of formation after having been in blue shale for over 200 feet. A very strong odor, like that of gasoline, is evident when 'he sand pump is removed and the owners feel very much encouraged. A slight. rainbow like scum is appar' ent on the surface of the pool made by the refuse of the dumping of the sand pump.
 At the Jerome Well, which is . standard rig, . depth of $50 feet has been reached. Tho drill is now in a body of sandstone and clay, mixed, and progress is being made at the rate of twenty-five feet daily.
 C. c. Jones, president of the Tempe National Bank, spent two days in the field with Griffin looking over the holdings of tho Tsmpe-vcrde Oil com pany. He returned to Tempe ysstsr day. His company expects to have hg in the field within the next three weeks.

is behind them is very clear.
 People never get too old to run for the Senate, and the sachems who think the wise thunks and grow old in that sacred institution, never know how to quit. Senator Cullom of Illi. nois, who is cighty.three years old, is out with a statement this week telling why he should be returned to the upper branch of Congress.
 The Washington friends of Presi. dent Taft are delighted with the strength thrown into his recent cam. | paigning in Ohio. and his remarks are being featured as "keynotes." Just before the return of Mir. Taft . statement was given out by Secretary Hillcs, who has been the personal political spokesman for the adminis- tration, is which it was declared that the President was absolutely sure to bc nominated at the Chicago conven- tion. The Taft people all along tho line seem to he getting new courage, though they acted shaky for a time; and while there is n good deal of talk of other candidates yet all classes of Republicans, whether they want it SO or not, are rather free to admit that MT. Taft is almost sure to win. The man with a printed copy Of the apportionmcnt of delegates to the next National convention, aided by lead pencil aud vivid imagina. tion, Is "figuring ii out" for anyone who will listen here in the capital, and the prospects are that thr.e wise prognosticators, who like some of the professors who specialize in horo- scopes will give you anything you want arc about to extend their field of operations throughout tho width and breadth of the land.
 The transitory fame that attaches to congressional leadership was signi. fieantly emphasized here this week by the visit of former Speaker J. Warren Keller to the capital. The old man was practically n stranger to the Washington over which he commended 90 great m influence, and in the House of Representatives where he occupied his post of power and honor, he found but a single member who had served in Congress under him. This single relic was cx- Speaker Cannon, of Illinois, who was serving his first term when Keller was finishing his service as Speaker. That was more than thirty years ago.
 Governor Harmon of Ohio, has "also" opened headquarters in Washington, and from this great fount of learning Harmon literature is to be sprinkisd broadcast through. out the land.

 YAvAPAI GREAT MINING FIELD
(From Fridays Daily.)

Belcher Whittlock, prominently known in geological circles of Canada and for many years n mining operator in Montana and Mritish Columbia, is recent arrival in the city, returning yesterday for an inspection of proper ties in the southern part of the coun- ty, and also along the line of the A. & C. railroad. Before returning to Houghton, Mich, his home, he will visit the copper belts of this county, including the United Verde, where he will remain for several days.
 He expressed himself as surprised with evidences of mineral in the vari' ous districts he visited, and believes that Yavapai is in its infancy as a producer. He also states that this field has the greatest area in distine' tive naturalization there is known in all the world, and that with deep and practical development the great producing field in the Southwest will be further developed.

SIR GILBERT NEVER
 LIBELED WRITERS
(Erom Fridays Daily.)

Sir Gilbert Parker, NJ. F., who is sojourning in Arizona to get the benefit of it's rare climate for malar. ial trouble, said yesterday that the alleged interview which appeared in the New York Sun on Saturday, Feb ruary }, in which he is made to attack great writers like Mir. Yeats and MT. Robert Chambers, and to say that American novelists lack vitality, was fake and that the editor of the Sun had been Chad" He declares the interview not only to bc absolu. tely unauthorized but full of gross misstatements. and inaccuracies, and that it is stupidly and mnlieiousiy un. true.
 The origin of such information as the interview contained is as follows: Early in December when Sir Gilbert was not well and va. at Lakewood, N. l., he received a letter from e lady stating that she was n representative of the New York Sun, and desired an interview on behalf of that paper on literary topics. Sir Gilbert wrote that he would only give a dictated stenoeraphie interview; that he would not permit an interview, SO common nowadays, from the memory of . re. porter. The lady telegraphcd in re. ply that his conditions would be full. filled. Sir Gilbert then appointed q day for her 10 come. She came but she said she could not take an inter. view stenographically and that she supposed he had a stenographer there. Sir Gilbert then promised that he would dictate m interview upon It, erary topics which were broadly dis cussed. She left and a few days later Sir Gilbert was taken down with tonsilitis and could not dictate the interview as promised. When he got well he came direct to New York, there wrote the lady to say that he would if possible, do the interview in Arizona, and send it to her. He did not do the interview because he wished 10 get rid of all unnecessary work while trying Co get back his health.
 There are statements in the alleged interview which he is not willing to let pass without denunciation. That for instance regarding Mir. Yeats, and others, and that concerning MT. Rob. ert Chambers. His alleged views con. corning the lack of vitality in Amcri. can fiction are false.
 Sir Gilbert says that he has never read, much to his regret, any book of Robert Chambers in full though he remembers having partly read, and greatly admired one of his first books called. he thinks "Cardigan,'' dealing with the French revolution; hut hs has never seen the book called "The Common Law" has never read 1t, and would he the last man ip the world publicly to attack a literary colleague whom he greatly admires.
 In reference to his own forthcom. ing book in the faked interview was purely private, but the statements and the language are as much unlike his own as could possibly be imagin. cd. He warns the press and the pub lie against taking n single paragraph of the so-ealled interview as having any relation to his own opinions or views. He thinks that kind of thing an offense against the high character of that journalism which the Sun hes aluavs regycasntsd
