WILLIAMS WAS WELL
 SHAKEN ON FRIDAY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Mrs. H. F. Adams, wife of a member of the firm iof Clark X Adams of this city, writes quite an interesting letter from Williams on the absorbing topic of discussion n that city of the earthquake that occurred on Friday forenoon. She states that the first rumble was ex- 1erienced at l0:05 o'clock and the duration was several seconds. The vibrations came from the northeast, md every building in the city was rocked 10 and fro. There was iothing violent to the temblor, but the length of time it prevailed caused considerable uneasiness, al- though but few were frightened. No damage to property resulted.
 It is believed the source of the :cmblor was Howard lake, about ten miles to the northeast, which

Biggest Check Raid
 in County's History
(From Fridays Daily)

What is believed to have been the largest individual check ever paid into the county treasury was yes terday handed over to County Treas urer E. A. Rogers by Richard Lam son of Anderson & Lamson, attor- neys for the United Verde Copper Company. The check is for Sl4S,- 76S.0l and is in payment of the 1913 taxes levied upon one of the wealth jest copper mines in the world.
 MT Lamson ayers that the check was just as heavy in weight as any other and that the paper is of the ordinary kind. When the reporter had gasped for breath, he said: Say it quick. It won't sound so big"
 The United Verde is the heaviest in the county and as this years check is larger than any pre- ceding year, it is taken for granted that there Is no stretching of the truth wlkn 1t is christened "the biggest of 'em all"

MISSING HORSE FOUND AFTER
 LONG SEARCH
ANIMAL IN A PITIABLE CONDITION FROM ITS LONG PERIOD OF BEING WITHOUT FOOD

After two days of searching the country to the north of this city, the fine gray horse of George C. Ruffner was found yesterday afternoon in a dell of the Point of Rocks, hitched to the buggy. Later it was brought to the city When found it was standing in a ravine unable to move forward and it is believed sought shelter from the heavy storms of the past three days.
 The animal had been missing since Sunday afternoon, and had been without food or water for at least ninety-six hours. The check strap was in position and accordingly it was unable to lower its head. It had wandered along the railroad track until a point about one and one half miles east of the P. & E. june ton was reached, within fifty yards of the track and to the south where it had sought shelter This point was not over two and one-half milcs from where 1t had last been seen by the men who had rented the rig.
 The condition of the animal was such when found, that it is believed f t had been exposed to the cold weather another night it would have perished. Mir. Ruffner and Deputy Sheriff Joe Young ran onto the horse at that point while in the field nearby were Bob Neal and John Welch. The animal has ravenous thirst. but care is used to give it but a small quantity of Wa ter for the present It refuses food and whether it will survive Is prob lematical
 The recovery of this horse and its treatment at the hands of those who are held responsible led to warrants of arrest being issued Wednesday for Harry Davis and Walter Mckinney, the latter colored. They rented the team on Sunday to go hunting deer ill the Lonesome valley country, returning later on foot. Since then parties have been in the field to ascertain its where abouts, but not until yesterday was the matter cleared up. The animal Is the most valuable in the stable and the buggy a new one.

REGIMENTS ARE MADE
 UP OF ONLY BOYS.
(From Sunday Daily.)

Thomas Lincoln, for many years a resident of this section, and d mine blacksmith and shelter man by occupation, who is in the city from Fl Paso, Texas, gives quite an interesting account of the re- capturing of Juarez by the troops under Villa.
 Speaking of the general makeup of the Rebel army. he states that one feature in the press reports has never been covered, that of the mere youth of from twelve to ff- teen years of age, being the bulwark of the army With other Ameri- cans he personally saw an entire regiment oi about 75O of these boys on duty.
 It was also reported that there were in the ranks females clothed in male attire, and this revelation of the Sex was disclosed after the corpse was removed from the bat tlehcld for burial
 Lincoln is cn route tO Jerome to locate, saying that the troubles of Mexico will never cease until this country takes a hand in the game, and this version is freely admitted by all classes and particularly those of Tcxa,, who arc on the ground and convcrSant with actual condi- tions prevailing on the other side of the Rio Grandc.

McCABE DISTRICT HAS FINE FUTURE.
(From Sundays Daily)


 Within a radius of ten miles oi McCabe there has been an awaken ing of the mining industry in the past six months that is surprising and noteworthy" was the statement made yesterday by J. A. Martin, ot Mayer, who is in the city on busi- ness pertaining to his holdings in that field.
 He says the enlarging of the plant of the Humboldt Consolidated smelters, to treat ores by a new system and at greatly increased ca pacity is an index of what that field is to afford in the future. The Copper Queen determinations on the Agua Fria have passed the stage of speculation, from the magnificent ore bodies cut into at the deepest workings in the past few weeks. The Blue Bell looks better at the greatest depth than at any stage in its development, and is ship ping daily five carloads of copper ore. The reviving of the Henri etta and the plan of deep develop ment announced practically assures that proposition to be a successful one. The Fortune, further up Big Bug creek, has made a splendid showing, in fact it is an established property beyond any question what ever, and in short time will have stamps dropping to treat the ore on the dump and ready for stoping. The Chaparral Mining Company has completed preliminary work at the Jessie and active development is to begin early in the coming month. The proposition is creating very much comment, and its operation henceforth is predicted to be sue cess.
 It was reported, MT. Martin says, that the Binghampton is to be an active camp III a short tune from the splendid showing accomplished in recent months. The sale was reported as closed in Prescott few days ago of the old Red Rock. the Belcher and the Eugenia, which go in one group to an Eastern syn dicate, the price ranging close 10 S50,000. The Lone Pine continues developing east of Huron a few miles, and it is probable will be a shipper soon. The Humboldt Con solidated continues shipping. The above mines in active operation he says will give some idea of the re- vival of the industry and whicl show that the district is on the up ward move and on a stronger foun iation than at any time known iu the past twenty years.

Weekly journal-miner., 1913-12-10

colt has under her special charter,
 will be awaited with keen interest,
 not only by the local government,
 but the officials at Phoenix, who
 have come to know Prescott as the
 rebels of the north"
 Mir Mitchell when interviewed
 yesterday by a Journal-Miner re-
 porter upon the important topic,
 was not inclined to give definite
 statement, but hinted that the city
 fathers were right in the attitude
 of defiance they assumed against
 the State Departments. When the
 special charter was granted Pres colt in 1882, a number of speciai privileges were contained therein. Among these was the provision that Prescott collect its revenue in any way 1t saw fit. The initial rate was fifty cents upon $l00. Later this was raised to $100 flat The last assessment was made on a 75 per cent valuation of property.
 When the segregated district law recently went into effect, the city charter and recent legislation again conficted, but the city fathers talk ing the bull by the horns, solved the problem in accordance with the provisions contained in the charter The council had made plans for as- sessing local property in its own way next year and the ultimatum of the tax commission that it abide by its instructions has provoked a feel ing of antagonism.
 The local charter has been amend cd two or three times in minor de tails by special legislation but other wise the city has done just about as it pleased
 Special charters nowadays are very rare. Invariably they create d great deal of turmoil as is ap. parent in the present instance. Phoe- nix, until recently, possessed a spe- cial charter somewhat similar ta the local one, but this was su-- rendered and a new one voted. Of course, if Prescott should see fit tn its charter in similar manner, all these difficulties would be obliterated. But in the light oi recent occurrences it is unlikely that Prescott will conclude its part in the fray by such course
 When Mr. Mitchell finally deliv- CTS his report. and if it is favor able to the city. some interesting developments will follow. For in stance, neither Wells Fargo nor he telephone company has paid Ii ,cnse fees for the past several years )y virtue of legislation enacted at Phoenix. Should the city charter . jc deemed all supreme, suits may be . brought seeking the collection of these license fees.
