FIREARMS WILL BE DELIVERED BY
 MAIL
A Special Order Admitting Them By Postoffice Department Local Business First Day Exceeded That of Los Angeles and
 Frisco.

The Phoenix postoftice yesterday received a copy of an order made by the postmaster general admitting guns and pistols to the parcels post. The general instructions issued when the service went into effect, barred these articles from the mails. Pistols and guns have always here tofore been barred from the United States mails. The reason of their recent inclusion was not given i1 the order.
 The parcels post in Phoenix is what Uncle Joe Cannon said the United States was, that being in liberal interpretation, something of a success The number of packages sent and received daily are increas- ing at a rapid rate. The first days business here exceeded the business at both Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. Indicative of the wide range of articles being mailed, packages received yesterday included a dozen eggs and a bicycle frame. The pack ages at present, are being delivered by the foot postman, but later they will be delivered by a postal cart.

IN SEPARATION.

Unless delayed by slow deliveries of steel and machinery the first sec tion of the Inspiration mill may be started in the middle of 1914.
 Preparations for mining are pro- gressing rapidly, as much as 10000 tons of ore being taken out some months in driving drifts, raises, etc. When the mill is completed there will be several hundred thousand tons of ore on the dumps and the mine will be able to produce ore as fast as the six 1250-ton units can be con- pleted.
 The contract made with the recla- nation service by which the Inspira- tion will purchase all the surplus pow CT from the Roosevelt dam project will give the Inspiration company cheaper power than any other large mine in the Southwest.

A STRANGE STORY COMES FROM
 GRAHAM CO.
CASE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDUIE THAT READS AIkE GENUINE
 FIcTfUN.

Stafford, Ariz., Jaa. 12.-One of the strangest stories since the Arabian Knights has been brought to light re- gently through the sAeriff's office of Graham County.
 About two weeks ago H. F. Smith, who owns a big cattle ranch near Black Rock, went to the sheriff $ office, with P. c. Little to represent him, and told the following story, and also swore out warrants for the arrest of King and Denver Evereth and Robert E. Lee.
 About two months ago, so the story goes, these three men appeared at the Smith ranch and told Mr Smith that one of his cows was down and that he should go and see to it. Smith saddled up and went, accompanied by the other three.
 When they arrived where the COW was, Mr. Smith discovered that she was tied down, then the other three ordered him to kill her. She belong ed to Marshall & Foster. This he re- fused to do Then he looked into the muzzle of a Winchester, and was told if he did not kill the COW, he would be killed; he killed the COW.
 In the conversation he was told that the three had been paid $2,OOO to compel him to do what he had done, but if he would pay them $2,- 900 they would leave the country and say nothing about it.
 MT. Smith finally agreed to this but did not have the money. He went to Globe and secured part of it
