SENATOR ASHURST NEAR VICTIM IF
 BUNCO ARTIST
CONFIDENCE WON BY PURPORT.
 ED LETTER FROM BIRONO.
By Winfield Jones.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3O.-- Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, has had a narrow escape from being victim ] ized by a group of forgers operating with headquarters in New York Following the arrest here of a man who is known under several aliases for attmpting to pass a forged check on Representative Howard of Georgia, it became known that last August a man representing himself to be HI c. Royston,' and believed to come from the Mormon settlement in Ari- zona, came near defrauding Senator Ashurst out of $39O by means of a John Birdno, chairman of the demo- cratic central committee of Arizona : Last August Senator Ashurst re ceived a letter postmarked Los An geles, purporting to come from Birdno, reading in part:
 III G. Royston will call on you in few days with a letter of introduc- ton. Please show him every court esy possible.
 Two days after the receipt of the first letter a note was pushed under the door stating that "Royston" was Ashurst in a few days.
 The alleged -Royston" called on schedule time and presented letter addressed to himself, alleged to be from Birdno, reading:
 T enclose cashiers check for $39O drawn on the Central Bank of Los An geles. I know your delicacy about asking people to cash checks for you, but I am sure Senator Ashurst will fix you up.
 Considering it pleasure to do a favor for Birdno, the senator wrote a note to the cashier of the Riggs National bank of Washington, intro cashier to accommodate ''Royston' by cashing the check He went so far as to have his clerk take Roy ston" to the bank and personally in- troduce him.
 Ashurst's secretary was dubious
  and the clerk had left the capitol de- | cided to take matters in his own | hands and telephoned the bank to | postpone action He was met with | refusal, the cashier stating that he considered it a favor to accommodate | Senator Ashurst and would cash the | check The cashier refused to fol- | low suggestion of the secretary to give 'Royston" $90 and hold up the $500, saying it was all or nothing" It then became necessary for the secretary to have Senator Ashurst personally request the cashier to hold the matter up At Senator Ashurst's direction he telegraphed to the bank in Los Angeles on which the check was drawn, inquiring if it was good. The reply came back that it was worthless.
 When 'Royston" discovered that in- luiry was being made he disappeared md had not been heard of again until le was arrested in Representative office for trying to work a similar fraud on Howard "Royston" discussed Arizona politics with Sena- or Ashurst and showed a wide ac- Iuaintance with the state.

cent.
 There is considerable tonnage of
 low grade ore that can be mined very
 cheaply, which the management is | planning to leach. It will not yield
 up it's copper profitably by any other, { system of treatment, and the expert
 mental work done so far, leads the
 management to believe that this ore
 will socn be an important source of
 production. It is estimated that
 there is nearly 1,OOO.OOO tons of 2
 per cent teaching ore in one deposit
 alone In addition Shannon has L. 100000 tons of tailings that carry 20 to P pounds of copper per ton, which probably will be leached some tune. Outside of the Shannon group the company is mining a small tonnage of high grade ore from it's Fl Paso group or claims nearby, aNd is getting such tonnage of iron sulpbides as it needs
 for Aux from it's Leonard group iocar- ed near Courtland It's Copper Bell ores carry heavy excess of iron and
 sulphur and from "A to copper and
 $1.6O in gold and silver As rule these ores cost about $7 per ton more than they yield in copper, gold and silver; but they are so valuable a f1ux that their use adds to Shanno1's profits. Recently the Leonard group ores have been running higher in cop per than previously
 In a property adjoining and partly surrounding Shannon's and group of four claims, the Arizona Copper com pany has developed a very good de- posit of porphyry concentrating ore. Indications are that Shannon has a big shoot of ore on the same dike This property probably will be pros pected soon.
 Last year Shannons copper cost was HAP cents per pound. The prin- cipal reason for this was that more low grade ore was mined and sent to both mill and smelter than would have been had the price of copper | been lower The company simply ! took advantage of the fact that more of it's low grade ores could be handled | profitably on high metal market. An advance in wages and the reduction in hours also contributed to, the higher copper cost.
 Since the first of the year the man. agement has been making a special ef- fort to cut expenses and to increase ,he efficiency of it's workmen. I un- ing down it's copper cost materially. With the metal selling at 15h cents profit of 31a to cents a pound or copper produced and earn between many years to come.

Whereas, There are now in tn, state prison of Arizona awaiting exc cution some half dozen brutal, cold blooded murderers whose sentences would be commuted, and who would Tn all probability, once more be re leased to become a menace to the public, should the death penalty be abolished; and
 Whereas, The records shows sey. eral instances of late where cold. biooded murderers have been releas. ed, either through absolute pardon by ! executive pleasure in violation and in disregard of the letter and the spirit of the law; and
 ! Whereas, The chief executive Of this state has repeatedly reprieved homicides, tried, convicted and sen- fenced under capital punishment statute in force at the time such exc cut1ve took the oath of office, swear ing to uphold and enforce the laws of Arizona, and which statute is still in force; and has once vetoed the penal code passed by the legislature at it's recent special session, which code contained and continued in force the death penalty statute and also re- moved from executive control the power to reprieve or commute sentenc of death, except upon new evidence tending to show the accused innocent of the crime; and
 Whereas, It is deemed best for the punishment of crime and the protec- tion of socity that this code be pass ed intact and the pardoning power be restricted in order that no one man, however conscientious he may be. may by mistaken views, thwart the will of the people; and
 Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That we commend and congratulate the senate and house of representa- tives for their, action in passing the law as outlined above; and
 Be it further resolved. That We the citizens of Yavapai county, call upon the governor of the state of Ari- zona, Honorable George w. P. Hunt, to execute the will of the people and 7 the legislature to lecome a law; but should this code again receive execu- tive disapproVal, we most earnestly call upon and enjoin the legislature ssSd especially the members from Yavapai county, Senators M. G. Gun niff and H. R. Wood and representa- tives H. H. Linney, Perry Hall, A. A. Moore and P. s. Wren, to again pass the code; the veto of the governor to the contrary notwithstanding; and
 Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the governor the president of the senate and the speaker of the house 1 of representatives

COMPETITION

There's an rronainG
!"natching Of wits between
competitors in business.
Incvcry phase Of store-mak-
ing, for example, the smallest
Advantages are eagerly sought
for the sum Of these often
enables a merchant to under
sell his competitor, or to better
serve his public.
Thcmistakcsof a competition
are not always sources OF grief
to a merchant. Especially is
this true if his competitor
shows signs Of weakening
i'll his advertising activities.
No merchant, for example,
ever personally reioiced to se>
a competitor use an enlarged
advertising appropriation il
this ncwspaper---nor grlevet
to see him using a reduced
one. And the merchant whc
is in business to please anc
CRAFTY his competitor does no
remain i'll business for yer,

It is a pity that the affairs OF
the parish Of Vermilion have been
thrown before the eyes of the pub
lie as it has been done, and, as II
most all cases, true facts OF the
matter are not always portrayed as
they should be. While we regret
to see the matter come about as il
has, we still firmly believe that
public affairs should be public, and
to.this end, we believe that here
after the business of the parish
will be conducted or a firrer basis
which will, no doubt, soon place
the parish in fine condition finan
cially.
The recent audit of the book.
shows very PANTY where changes
may be made, and save the parish
some extra expense; and it Is th'
unanimous sense of the citizens o
the parish to see a conservative
system placed into use.
There is no finer country thar
ours, and il the face of the debt
with no improvements to show TO
the same, is one thing alone tina
does not encourage outsiders t
come and cast their lot with us.
If our parish were III debt, III
matter how heavy, and we hao
good roads, fine buildings or othe
things to show for the debt, W,
could boast of progress.
We earnestly trust that i'll tn,
future, everything will work il
harmony, and place our parish be
fore the eyes of the public, as OH
OF the foremost of the state, wher
it rightly belongs.
