An unconditional pardon from Pre-
sident Wilson made Charles Hamil-
ton the happiest man in Prescott
yesterday as he walked out of the
county Jail a free man, after SIX
months of confinement Hamilton
was sentenced on October p of last
year in the Federal Court at Phoe-
nix to serve ten months for bigamy
The trial developed the fact that
there were mitigating circumstances
and accordingly the sentence impos-
ed by the court was a comparatively
light one. 1t seems that Hamilton
who is a stockraiser in Coconino
county, had a wife in California.
She had sued once for divorce and
later on sued a second time and as
the husband made no defense, he
supposed, according to the state
nent, that it had been granted. With
this belief he married again at Grand
Canyon and soon after discovered his
mistake. Then he undertook TO ar
range matters with the California
wife in order that his Arizona mar
riage would become legal. In seek
ing to arrange matters and do the
right thing, he used no secrecy in the

R. A. Kinsman who is in the city
from Humboldt, states that the Con-
solidated smelters are running full
blast and heavy production is main
tanned daily. Since the big concen-
trating plant has been added, the
facilities for treating a larger ton
mage under better conditions than
heretofore give the proposition that
stability that would indicate perman-
ency. Mr.. Kinsman states that the
amount of ore coming to the plant
and the business-like foundation on
which the undertaking is being han
died would indicate that Humboldt
is a permanent camp of the future
and has a better outlook than at any
time i'll its history.

CAPITAL T|M|D
ON ACCOUNT
Of TARIFF
Men With Money Wait
To See How Badly
They Are Hit.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

While it is true that nv mission
to Prescott is to look over the hold
ings of the Braganza Mines Com
pany, on Big Bug Creek, and that
it is probable there will be a re-
sumption of development early this
summer, still there is no certainty
of such action" was the emphatic
way in which Colonel J. c. Rankin
expressed himself yesterday after re-
turning to the city from that prop
erty.
Continuing he said: There is no
question whatever but what the Bra
CANA is an attractive gold proposit-
ion, and with the carrying out of
the long tunnel that was started over
three years ago, the great depth to
be reached undoubtedly will prove
the wisdom of outlaying a great
amount of money. The trouble that
faces our board of directors, how
ever, in making the disposition of
money necessary for this large de-
velopment, is the incontrovertible
fact that the political situation in the
east affectiong the tariff, places inan-
cial matters in very chaotic con-
dition. There is a splendid feeling
in the east toward mining in this
county, since the industry has settled
down to a bona-fide basis, but you
may rest assured that no matter how
desirable an investment may be for
mining or any other line of business,
until capital knows what the future
has to offer, just so long will there
be no disposition of funds for any
project whatever Many stockholders
identified with the Braganza are also
interested in various lines of manu-
facture, hence you will appreciate the
timidity with which they entertain
placing money for an outside invest
ment, and particularly so when they
feel that they may possibly be dis
tressed by contemplated legislation
at Washington i'll one line or the
other OF their established pursuits. 3"
Colonel Rankin returns TO the east
today, and will lay the matter of re-
Stunning on the Braganza before his
Prescott in three years, and he came
especially to look at the old property
that produced handsomely until deep
development was necessary. to carry
out which will require quite a large
sum of money, several hundred feet
of dead work being necessary be-
fore production follows. A new
plant is also a necessity.

EFFECT IS SOON
FELT BY WOOL GROWERS
(From Thursdays Daily

{. E. Burton, who passed through
the city Tuesday from Hillside, to
his Upper Verde ranch, stated that
the sheep industry is passing through
one of the worst seasons known in
many years.
The past winter has been a severe
one, the duration of the cold weather
retarding the growth of new feed on
the range, and the prevailing agita-
ton for free wool. having a disas-
trous effect on lowering the price of
that article. Already, he states,
wool is dropping and few days
ago he was informed by an eastern
buyer, that the price of l9 and one
half cents per pound could not be
maintained. A rate of not over IA
cents will be the price, if it does not
reach a lower mark, after contem-
plated legislation was put into effect
is the prediction. The price of NUT
ton, however, continues steady in the
eastern market. at a favorable figure
So far as the domestic producer is to
be considered in competing with the
foreign wool grower, under a tariff
schedule as contemplated, Mr.. Bur-
ton is unqualifiedly of the belief that
the American grower of sheep will
be wiped off the map if free wool is
permitted to be enacted into a law.

world on any stated subject. Alpha
betical Loeb, late of the Arizona

the officers of the law over in the
Old Pueblo and laid path for
evasions galore of the regulations
cities make in regard to the speed
with which motor cars may be run
within the corporation limits. Loeb
drives a sort of car. He has been
known to make that car do things
that no self respecting car would
do Witness his attempt to ride up
the front steps of a Tucson resi-
dence. The car had had nothing but
straight gasoline and Mr.. Loeb pure
HI o.
When he presented himself in po-
lice court to answer to the charge
of overspeeding, Loeb turned his
fine Italian hand to the task of show
ing the law right where it stood,
thereby demonstrating all the things
listed above. He was-according to
reports in the Tucson press-particu-
larly successful in springing the law
on the law enforcerS and from the
generous fund of the information
he had picked up in the course of
his short but brilliant career as
special writer on the staff of the
Star he dragged forth facts enough
to make said police court like like

gathered from the newspaper report.

write-the law took its course just
the same.
The following from the Stars re-
port shows how Loebsy put 'er ever:

hooked and made the simple Are

look like kindergarten plays.
Loeb denied that he was exceeding
10 miles an hour Sunday night when
arrested by Patrolman Jack Anderson

to know all sorts OF things.
He wanted to know if Anderson,
who has ridden the machine only
four days, could run it at Is miles
an hour, flash his electric light on the
speedometer and read it. He want
ed to know why he, Loeb, was going
l8 miles an hour and Anderson l8
miles an hour, when Anderson must
have made better time than that in
order to catch up.
He objected to the legality Of the
arrest on the ground that Anderson's
appointment has not been confirmed
by the city council. He asserted that

admitted that the range was in poor

engineer, passed through the city a
few days ago for Mohave county,
to make reconnaissance of conditions

Immediately.
Mr. Barlow will be favorably re-

the Verde Valley division, where he
built the bridge across the Verde
river, and completed a section of the
line TO the plateau of the Mogollon
mountains out of Beaver Greek.
This splendid piece of highway re-
mains as firm today as when con-
structed, while other work perform
ed by the above engineer reflects
creditably on his ability. Mr.. Bar
low stated that he will make a gen
eral investigation of the route from

fred B. TayntOn, of OskalOosa, execu-
tive secretary, and viii c. Dean and
Win n Cork, field workers, will rep
resent Iowa at this gathering.
There Is no indication that the
"drys" are at all discouraged over
the loss in their vote in the recent
election. They lay it all up to inter
nal dissensions which was begun in
1904 by John G. Wooley, who has re-
Gently declared that he has finally re-
nounced the party. This is looked on
with satisfaction by present leaders
who say that it means the end of the
disaffectiOn and the beginning of Il
new regime in party management A
new era is also assured by the cleo
tion of a new chairman who took
charge just before the end of the last
campaign but not early enough to
bring about complete harmony and
save a loss in vote.
Among the plans that may be
adopted at Indianapolis is a great
speaking campaign to cover the en-
lire nation All the leading spell
binders will be engaged by the ma
tional committee and sent out under
the direction of advance" men who
will make engagements and properly
advertise them. 1t is also proposed
to give the National Committee pow
er to send a trained promotion man
into each inactive and unorganized
state and start campaign of organ
iZation. A national organ will also be
named and its circulation promoted on
q large scale.
Prohibitionists maintain that the
dissipation of the dry wave" and the
continued increase in the per capita
consumption OF drink Is evidence OF
the failure of the non-partisan plan
of settling the drink problem. This
scheme fails to develop enough polit-
ical power to get vital legislation,
such as an interstate anti.liquor law,
etc, leaving the general traffic IA
drink untouched. They say that
most of the legislation now on the
statute books Is indirectly due to the
party vote and If small vote will
bring about such results what might
be expected with a concentration OF
the temperance votes of the nation
in this direction. teFto1a f,s >.
