APOPLEXY CLAIMS
 AL FINCH AS VICTIM
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Al Finch, one of the best known miners in this county, dropped dead at the cabin of J. W. Hobbs, near Thumb Butte, yesterday morning at about zoo o'clock. Apoplexy is given as the cause. At the time he was with his nephew, Frank Finch, and when he arose from bed he appeared to be in good health. Stepping a few feet away after dressing himself he lunged forward without uttering a word, and in a few seconds was a corpse.
 He had been in i'll health for sev- eral months, and when in this city about two weeks ago, complained of his mental faculties as being affected He was the owner of many mines in the Copper Basin district, and had been a resident of this county for over twenty years. He was aged about s years and a native of Cali ! fornia.

RIDICULES IDEA OF
 ALLEGED LAND GRAB
From Thursdays Daily)


 The report from Phoenix that land grabbers" are taking or figur- ing on taking great body of ur- surveyed land with scrip as charged by Representative Maddox, is impos- sible of belief said Fen s. Hildreth yesterday.
 ~As a matter of fact, there IS moi tc exceed 1000 acres of unsurVeyed land scrip in existence, and the price on this class of scrip is from S35 to S55 an acre Any prudent man would surely ne4 expend that much money an acre to speculate on unsurveyed land. and l know of no case where scrip has been sold to a speculator- It is sold almost entirely to cattle men, irrigation companies and home stead and desert land entrymen- The cat1leman uses 1t to protect his range and to get a pasture which he can fence. Irrigation companies use the scrip to ger land upon which to put water, thus building up the country and carrying out the conservation policy of the government. The de sert land en&rymen and the home stead claimants use the scrip be- canse with ii, residence IS not ne cessary and he can raise money with which 10 improve his land. Neither the Santa Fe railroad nor tine scrip dealers file on the land for them selves but sell 1t to individuals to protect their range or entries. The accusation of Mir Maddox that land grabbers" stood in with the com mission Is ridiculous, as there has been no land selected for speoula- ton and the commission would be the last place for a person to go for information. If he indicated he wanted certain lands, the state board if it wished, could select ahead -oa him and thus defea1 his plans, ii he ever had any"

MONEY ENOUGH
 TO LAST TWO YEARS
Rrom Thursdays Daily.)


 Active development operations are being carried on at the United Verde Extension property under the super vision of George Kingdom of the Old Dominion as consulting engi- neer. Work is at present concen- trated in clearing out the old work ings which filled up while the mine was closed down There are some 300 feet of those workings which will have to be attended to but before the end of the present month 1t IS hoped that 1t will be possible to To- cate the new shaft At tine point SC 1ected for the shaft an upraise will be started and a winze will also be sunk to depth, so that by the time the shaft is holed through to the surface, or before, considerable knowledge vii have been obtained of conditions at depth.
 Present expenses are at inc rate of about $6,000 per month so that by the terms of the Douglas stock pur- chase the company has funds suffl- cient to last for at least two years
 Directors Douglas and Tener are visiting the property now and on their return it IS expected that ad- ditionSl information as to the pro gress of developments will be avail able.
 Stockholders of the Jerome Verde Company at a meeting on January 31st ratified the terms of the option which the United Verde Company obtained on their property. The option runs for a period of three years and at the end of that time dhe company can be taken over on a stock basis. This property is belieT- ed to possess considerable value and can be worked most advantageously from the United Verde Extension new shaft while the former workings of the Jerome Verde Company were in another part of the tract
 Among the members of the Doug las syndicate, which is now in con tro1 of United Verde Extension, are the following: John D. Ryan, of the Amalgamated; w. D. Thornton and L. D. Ricketts of Greene Cananea; John C. Greenway, of Calumet X Arizona; H. B. Hovland, of lnspira- ton; w A. Corey, the steel man; Gordon R. Campbell, C. A. Congdon, George T.

All praise 10 the EIks of Arizona.
 The noble animal that symbolizes their order is to receive humane consideration, as was reflected on "Wednesday afternoon when the hrst herd of eighty-three arrived at Wins low, in fine condition and were ac- corded a welcome that brought every resident of that ci3y out to witness their unloading.
 Dr. R. N. Looney, who was the representative of the Prescott lodge, viewed the interesting proceeding, and states that the animals were very much admired and the incident appealed to all from the standpoint that the bunch had found home that in the future would not be bur ,dened with the cold blasts Of the northland and that food in plenty would be then lot hereafter.
 The bunch was brought iron Gardner, Wyoming, and only two died on the long trip of twelve days both by accident Of this shipment all are lawns, with two old COW! that will act as leaders on the range Seventy are does and thirteen art bucks. They were corraled near th' depot and all were as gentle as cat tie on the range Their keeper wh' accompanied them on the long tril stated that thousands are dying Il the north every winter from lack o food, and with the rapid decimatiol going on it would be only a fev wears more until they would be a
