To Fight Convict Labor.

Duluth Mimi. Dec. 5.-The local
labor paper, the World, states that
the committee appointed by Presi
dent Hall, of the Minnesota State
Federation Of Labor to investigate
convict labor situation of Minnesota
will meet in the near future in St.
Paul. For years organized labor
has protested against the employ
ment of convicts on State work
where their labor would come into
competition with free labor. In
this State convicts are employed in
the prisons under the iniquituous
contract system in the manufacture
of shoes and binding twine and
farm machinery 1t is the purpose
of the committee to study the con
vict LABOR system from every angle
In all probability efforts will be
made to secure legislation that will
abolish the contract system and
provide employment for the con
victs in the manufacture of such
products as are used by the State
in the institutions which are solely
State supported This plan is in
vogue in some States, and appears
to be working satisfactorily. This
committee will render its report to
the convention to be held in thi,
city in July, 1914, aud upon the
action taken will depend the future
efforts to be made by the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor.

WONDERING WHO WILL
FILL SHOES OF MORGAN

NEW YORK. April l0.-While
New York is still casting about in
an endeavor to decide what person.
if any, is likely to fill or attempt to
fill the financial shoes OF the late
J. p Morgan, the death OF the
great fnancier has brought into the
limelight one of the most remarkable
careers that this city has ever seen;
that of Henry P. Davidson.
While plenty of people know OF
him as one of the Morgan partners
and a smaller number as the dynam-
ic force of this firm, very few per-
sons know that the man who pilot
ed the $l70,OOO,0OO subway deal, al
though he is not yet forty-hve years
old, came to this city twenty-five
years age without job and possess
ing only $40 in cash after giving up
a job at teaching school. He finally
secured employment here in bank
which was going through a process
of reorganization. From that small
start he rapidly made for himself a
reputation in the financial world.
Davidson has become a man who
was given the floor when men of
money wanted to hear from men of
brains, and when the panic of 1907
came along and J. Pierpont Morgan
scowled over his long cigar ins his
nightly library conferences, Davidson
was one of those invited to man the
salvage corps and Morgan saw quick
ly that the young man had the real
ring.
The panic sessions made him a
member of the Morgan firm. Nor
gan liked his style and his ability
and there is little question but what
his frank manner of expression did
more than anything else to impress
his worth on the big man of the
money bags. He went into the
Morgan firm January l, 1908, and
since that time has been a field mar
shall in many of the biggest things
the house has done.

NOTED CASE IS
STRICKEN FROM CALENDAR

Official advices from Phoenix
state that the Supreme Court has
handed down a decision in the case
of the State against J. T. Dowdy and
F. L. Gibson, on appeal from this
county, ordering it stricken from the
calendar as being improperly there
on.
This criminal action was a very
warmly contested one in the old dis
trict court of this county several
years ago, wherein the defendants
were figures in rather an interesting
alleged burglary transaction, in Sc
curing financial redress from the
rental of property they owned in
Weaver gulch.
The land was owned by them, and
included the placer mining area and
Improvements which they had To-
Gated. The building thereon was
used by Pete Calvi as a saloon, but
payment for rent was reputed to be
rather lax. AT favorable time Glib
son and Dowdy entered the build
ing and secured all the cash in sight,
over $1,000, which they brought to
the city and deposited, stating where
they had secured the money and for
what purpose it was intended to be
used. They were tried before jury
and found not guilty for the alleged
crime, whereupon the verdict was set
aETda 1v,1 L.
where it was finally decided on Mon
day of this week Associated with
this transaction are involved other
issues of civil nature The money
still remains in a bank for its legal
owner, but is getting rusty await
ing its final disposition.

STANTON MINING
FIELD SHOWS ACTIVITY
From Thursdays Daily.)

According to statements made by
t. Akard, who arrived yesterday
from Stanton, that field is showing
more mining activity than has been
noticeable in many years, and in
many instances some noteworthy de-
examinations are being made.
His Daylight claim is under de-
velopment For the present but a
small force is employed, the camp
being established recently and shall
low work performed. He feels very
much elated -over the outlook and
will maintain a permanent camp.
Considerable interest attaches to
reports in circulation that the Oc-
tave is to resume on May l, and the
examination made by an engineer,
who is said to have reported fav-
orably, practically assures the re-
viving of this famous gold producer
of other days.
d. B. Genung has resumed devel-
opment on the Mildred mines, and
has a full force employed in shaft
sinking. Reports that a high grade
gold ore was encountered a few
days ago, adds interest to the future
of that proposition. Later a mill
run will be made from the vein
where the rich strike occurred.
T. R. Williams has revived his
holdings and has Il force of four
miners employed. He has outlined a
plan of deep development, and is said
to have an attractive looking gold
property.
Placer mining still continues, and
with the finer gold, an occasional
nugget is recovered that adds to the
possibilities of that auriferous field,
in maintaining a steady yield, after
the supposition prevailed that it was
worked out

a sub-chief OF the Tontos, and after
their subjugation, he INDUCED in

RICH COPPER IS
FOUND IN OLD GRAVEYARD

Arrivals in Prescott from Mohavc
county state that the theme in min
ing discussion was the discovery
made recently by Mr. and Mrs. lay,
at Mineral Park, eighteen miles from
Kingman, an old grave yard being
located as showing high grade cop
per values.
The owners are prospecting the
morbid surroundings with some deli
cacy, so as to not disturb the re-
mains that are lying under the sod,
and according to reports have sunk
several shafts in and out of that
enclosure. They have been residing
in that locality for many years,
which in early days and before the
coming of the Santa Fe railroad was
the county seat and possessed the
western characteristics of being the
only live town of any consequence
in that section of Arizona With its
whirlwind life OF excitement, a plot
was selected in which to lay away
the many who died with their boots
on, as we'll as the few from natural
causes. Sacred regard for the dead
imbued the living to not trespass
that forbidden soil, and the most
avaricious seeker OF hidden wealth
never for a moment believed that the
home of the dead was rivetted with
the assures OF a red metal deposit.
Even in the halcyon days Of gold
mining the graveyard was never mo-
Tested. and until the well defined
groupings caught the eye of the sole
occupants of the old town, was the
metallic condition revealed.
1t was reported that the removing
of the remains to another site will
be the next move to afford deter
limitations to be made for mineral
riches that appear so attractive at
certain points in and out OF the
home of the dead of other days.
Verified reports of the grade of the
copper struck range from 20 per cent
to as high as 40 per cent.
