GLOBE, MIAMI CAMPS
 VERY ACTIVE
Copper Men Have Their Eyes in That Direction and Are Watching for Opportunity to Operate-Much Looked for During the Next
 Few Months.

Pope Yeatman, consulting engineer for the Guggenheim interests and one of the best informed men in copper circles in the world, was an arrival on last nights train. In the party with him are H HI. J. Wilkins, Louis Row and and Fred Hellman, all prominent in the copper world, says the Belt.
 In an interview last evening MT eatman said:
 The Globe-Miami mining district is one of the most promising n the world. Your mnes are classed among the very best both from the standpoint of pro- duction and mechanical condition. Cop per men have their eyes upon Globe and Miami and are anxious for an op. portunity to operate in this district
 When asked regarding industrial conditions generally and the price of copper, MT. Yeatman continued:
 There is every indication that the price of copper vii remain around eighteen cents. Although the mines are producing more copper than they have for some time, the demand has more than kept pace with the produc- tion. Even should new mines be dis covered I do not think it would effect the price, as industrial conditions throughout this country are very sub- stantial at the present time an dactivc conditions generally keep up the price as well as the demand. The agricultur al output in nearly every state in the union this year is large and big crops create activity in all industrial Ines"
 MT. Yeatman stated that he did not believe that the presidential election would have a tendency to affect com conditions.
 The party will inspect the mines ill Globe and Miami today and will leave for other points tomorrow. The party is on an inspection tour and have ex- amined into conditions of copper mines in this as we'll as other states

PACKARD SAYS WALL
 STREET HELPING
Putting Up for Both Sides in Mexican TroubIe-Great Sums Exacted from Mining Companys for Pro- lection Both Ways, But No
 Protection is Given.

Hon. B. A. Packard, one of the well known business men of Arizona and president of the First National Bank of Douglas gives out some very in teresting history of the financing of the Mexican revolution and states that the mining interests have been digging very literally for the benefit of both sides of the forces in Mexico. Not only has money been exacted in large amounts from the mines of Mex ico under promise to leave property alone but fail to comply with the con- tract. In fact they are simply playing both ends against the middle with re- markable results. Speaking through the Arizona Democrat MT. Packard says:
 That the United States is financing the Madero army and indirectly put ting up the money also for the Orozco revolutionary campaign in Mexico is the statement of B. A. Packard, the well known Douglas banker and business man, who is in Phoenix today.
 Mr. Packard, who is in position to know whereof he speaks, states that all the Madero bonds are being purchased in Wall street, New York, thus furnishing the president of Mexico with the funds necessary to carry on the operations of the fed eral army.
 On the other hand, the money which enables Orozco and his follow CTS to keep in the field against Ma dero, is paid over to the rebel lead CT by the big business interests in Mexico, being in the nature of trib- ute.
 According to Mr. Packard, the Nacozari mines company paid into the revolutionary treasury the sum of $250,000, with the understanding that their properties would not be molested by the rebels. In addition to this immense sum, $100,O00 was paid Orozco by the owners of the Fl Tigre mine, also with the under standing that the property would be protected by the revolutionists, or rather, not molested by the guerilla was accepted by the rebel leader, hut in both cases the protection mich was paid for was not given. Not only was the Fl Tigre property attacked by the rebels, but the Naco- zari property was threatened for several weeks by marauding bands of rebels.
 The American railroad interests were asked to pay a half million dollars in tribute to the revolutionary cause for protection" and when the money was refused, Orozco at once began the work of destroying bridges and mile after mile of track.
 In addition to the enormous sums Of cash which have been forced from American interests in Mexico, Pack ard stated further that thousands Of dollars worth of food, clothing, guns, ammunition, horses and mules, had been stolen by the rebel raiders from ranches in northern Mexico owned by residents of the United States.

CAMPA SURRENDERS
 TOU.S 5. SOLDIERS
Leader of Mexican Revolution Caught Near Tucson While Leaving Mexi- co Forever. Says He is Tired of Fighting But Fought For
 Principle.

The Tucson Citizen of Monday af ternoon gives the details of the ar rest Of General Emilio Campa, and ten of his followers, all now in the Pima county jail. General Campa is thus quoted by the Citizen:
 T intended to surrender myself to the United States authorities upon reaching Tucson," said General Cam pa. T tried to conceal my identity between the border and here for fear that some one would take a shot at me-"
 T was fighting for principles. The revolution is now corrupt, and there. fore I could not fight for it longer l was making my way to Tucson when arrested.
 "Orozco is in some part of Sonora, just where do not know. I have not seen him for some time. He will not try, but will keep on fighting"
 While the prisoner hesitated to commit himself on the chances of the revolution he made it evident, by shrugs, that a revolution without principles could not long endure or succeed.
 T started this revolution" contin- ued Campa. It was at Casas Gran des on the Mexican Central that I got the first force together. Then I was met by General Salazar, who came down from the United States. Since I started it, I felt responsible, for the way things are being con- ducted now"
 First Denies Identity.
 Campa did not admit his identity until Sunday at midnight, when he was visited by Ismael Padillo, secre- tary of state of Sonora, who hap pened to be in Tucson.
 Both Governments Notified.
 The capture of Campa and the oth- CT rebel soldiers has been communi- cated to both the state department at Washington and to the Mexican goyernmen, President Madero being notified by Mexican Consul E. V. Aan- va. The wires are now hot with between Mexico City and and strenuous efforts will be made by the Mexican govern ment to get the rebel chieftain in it's possession. There exists be- lief in Tucson at present that the, United States government will not turn him over to Mexico, which means, it is supposed, execution the next few days will bring some definite fact in this re- gard.
 Campa cannot be held by the Unit ed States even on smuggling charge, it is said Jas he was taken afoot without anything dutiable.
 First Message.
 First news that Campa had crossed the international boundary came in 3 letter to Marshal Charles J. Over lock, sent by Lieutenant Lyman, U. 5. A., written from Sasabe, Ariz., September 21. The army officer said that the report was that Campa and P men had crossed the line headed for Gila Bend

MANDAMUSR SRUNN|NG AGAINST BOARD 0F
 SUPERVISORS
judge Laine Grants Writ to Ben N, Crawford Commanding Board to Pay Salary to Clerk of Super for Court as Provided by LegisIature-Also Ef-
 fects Sheriffs
 Office.

One of the legal matters which has arisen in Greenlee County and which has far reaching effects as far as the State of Arizona is concerned, is that of Ben M. Crawford, Plaintiff against Wade Hampton, C. P. Dunn and R. A. Campbell, board of super visors of Greenlee County In this pe- tition, plaintiff, made application to the Superior Court, praying for Writ of Mandamus against the defend tants, commanding and requiring them, as such board, to pay him the sum of one hundred and sixty-six dollars and and sixty-six and two-third cents, sal ary, as Clerk of the Superior Court of Greenlee County. Judge F.. B. Laine granted Writ.
 The proceedings grew out of the following:
 The Constitution of the State of Ar;- zona provides: Section IS, Article VI:
 There shall be elected in each
 county by the qualified electors
 thereof, at the time of the elec-
 tion of Judges of the Superior
 Court thereof, Clerk of the Sup
 erior Court, for the term of four
 years, who shall have such pow
 CTS and perform such duties, and
 receive such compensation by sal
 
 law. Until such salary shall be
 fixed by law, the Board of Super
 visors shall fix such salary. The salary of the Clerk of the Court of Greenlee County was fixed by the Board of Supervisors at one hundred and fifty dollars per month, up to the time the legislature should meet and enact law covering the salary of the Clerk. When the legislature met 1t 6<.1 fDx- !, IL <~f ~I-r "A the Superior Courts in Counties of the fifth class, and Greenlee is a fifth class county, to be two thousand dollars a year.
 The contention of the plaintiff in this action which was upheld by the Court is that the provision of the imperative. in so far as the fixing of the salaries of the Clerk of the Super for Court was concerned immediately . upon the passage and adoption of a law by the legislature of the State of Arizona, fixing such salary.
 The Attorney General of the Stats of Arizona, Hon. J. P. Bullard,. in an opinion covering this legal question, held that the Board of Supervisors could not pay any salary in excess of that provided by them during the ten ure of office of the Clerk who was holding office at the time of the en- actment of the law by the legislature. His opinion turned upon the point that The Compensation of no public officer shall be increased or diminish ed during his term of office"
 Upon this point Judge Laine held differently for the reason that prior to the adoption of the Constitution, and the admission of statehood. no such of flee as Clerk of the Superior Court was in existence, nor was any salary 6aI Ixr1 1ax f<.,- any such officer.
 This decision will also effect the of- fee of County Sheriff. The Board of Supervisors fixed the salary, of the Sheriff in excess of the salary enacted by the State legislature.

date hotel, the Grand Pacific, corner
Of Fourth and Bro adway, is being
fast rushed to completion by a large

aim of the management to have the
handsome structure completed by the
opening of the Industrial Exposition
in order to handle the large crowds
which will undoubtedly be present.
Henry lately, the owner of the
handsome structure, recently return
ed from a trip to the cities where he
purchased the furnishings for the in
terror. The value Of the goods pur.
chased was the smallest item with
Mr.. Tately as it is his intentions to
make the Grand Pacific the most
modern furnished hotel in the north
west. With this in aim he purchased
nothing but what was of the highest
grade and value. All of the rooms
will be finished with fumed oak. The
chairs and tables will be Of the
fumed oak while the beds will be Of
BRASS with the box springs and hair
mattresses. The furniture is arriving
daily and will be stored away until
ready for its use. Every room in the
house will contain a private telephone
and a large switch board will neces-
sarily have to De installed in order
to care for the calls. The switch
board and the telephones are o. hand
at the present time.
The plumbing and heating for the
structure has been installed except
ing the fixtures and they are here
awaiting the completion of the rooms.
The rooms are in the hands Of the
plasterers at the present time and it
is thought that they will finish up
within the next ten days. The new
electric passenger elevator is also be.
ing installed and will be ready for
use sometime this week. The kitchen
will be finished up first. A large new
range and a steaming table was in
stalled Tuesday and are ready for
use. Following the completion of the
kitchen the carpenters will then pro-
coed to finish up the dining room.
AS sool as the dining room is com.
pleted it will be used as the temper
airy dining room is too small to ac-
commodate the large business. The
terazzo tlooNin the dining room will
be completed Saturday.
As many wol kmen will be kept on
the job as can be used and if it is
possible tie management would de-
sire tC have the structure ready for
occupancy ten days before the open
ing of the exposition When COM
pleted the Grand Pacific will be mod
ern and up to date in every detail
and will equal any hotel in the north
west.
