PERMISSION GIVEN
TO ROADS TO MERGE
Special to the Journal-Sdiner.

PHOENIX, June H.-What is
taken to be one OF the most impor-
tant applications ever granted by the
State Corporation Commission was
tonight given out when the order
giving permission TO the FL Paso &
Southwestern to consolidate and
merge the various lines OF the rail-
road owned and controlled by it in
New Mexico and Arizona, was issu-
ed
The opinion and order, which was
written by Chairman Geary, gives
permission to the company to issue
various stock and bonds in the same
sum that are now outstanding for
the various companies and that
should further proof be shown to
the Commission that additional mon
ey is needed for extensions, the
same could be increased by and
with the consent of the commission
This latter is taken to mean that
contemplated extensions are intend
ed in Arizona and that at an early
date the FL Paso and Southwestern
will build to Phoenix and also ex-
tend its road to the Coast.

TO INSTALL FIVE STAMP
MILL AT THE CORONADO
CFrom Thursdays Daily

So satisfactory has been recent
development on the holdings of the
Coronado Gold Mining Company, at
Rees, near Congress, that a FIVE
stamp mill is to be installed immedi-
ately, and is now in this city, was
the important news given publicity
yesterday by Manager w. T. Saw
yer.
He states that the plant will be
erected at the Grasshopper claim,
where it is estimated there is an
ore supply ready for treatment, val
ued at over $4,000 and of a desir-
able character. being free milling. l.
G. Ochenreiter, secretary of the
company, has returned East, after
devoting several weeks making an
examination of the property.
Mr.. Sawyer states that work will
continue theoretically on the Coro-
nado claim. and the showing is at
tractive at that point also. A drift
will be run to the Grasshopper az
great depth and approximately 700
feet in length, that determinations
may be absolute of underground
conditions prevailing.
The Grasshopper was located
about a quarter OF century ago by
the late Dennis May, the discoverer
of the famous Congress mines. He
refused to sell the Grasshopper at
ter the Congress deal was closed,
which was considered as indicating
a splendid future of that property,
Mr.. May being regarded as one of
the most competent miners in the
country, and whose prophetic ability
was demonstrated on several occas-
ions in bringing certain mines into
very much prominence through
the handsome returns made later.
The force of miners is to be in
creased at the Coronado camp in
a short time, and the outlook =
more favorable than in many years
for the creation of another producer
in that field

in the city. after an absence of
nearly a quarter of a century. His
mission to the old stamping grounds
is for the sole purpose of renewing

PREFER CHARITY TO
HOME ON THE HILL
(Erom Fridays Daily

(from FRIDAY Daiiy.)
Two more Hassayampers have left
the Pioneers Home in this city, dis
gusted with the management OF the
institution, and preferring to submit
to the charity of friends rather than
be imposed upon. The men who
have packed their little worldly eff
fects and gone to the four winds
are L. B. St. James and Phil Schrib-
er.
The former left yesterday for Je-
rome, his old home, where he has
been promised light work, that body
and soul may be kept together until
the big divide is to be crossed. Phil
Schriber pulled out for Globe the
day before, and is also to go into
camp for the last time.
Mr.. St. James freely and emphati-
eally expressed himself for taking a
thirty days furlough on Wednesday
night, saying: Since Major Doran
left the home We have had no home.
If change in the management takes
place before my furlough expires I
will return. Otherwise l will starve

that hell house. Rather than go
back, the county poor farm will be
a haven to what / and other pion-
GERS have endured for several
months at the state institution. The
Pioneers Home is simply a misnom
er-it's nothing more nor less than
humbug. a place where despotism
reigns, and where conditions are
such that a white man will no, and
cannot endure"
Louis ST. James is one of the
very early pioneer arrivals in Ari-
IONA, coming from the coast in
1864. Old age and physical ills have
shattered a once vigorous frame,
and as the sun is setting on a life
that in early days was we'll known
for its benevolence toward so many
other old timers in want and dis
tress he is practically wanderer
on the face of the earth without re-
fuge, but not lacking friends.
Phil Schriber likewise was explicit
and said: 81 placed my situation at
the home before friends in Globe,

From Thursdays DaiIy.)

That Flagstaff has the mer and

betterment of that community, 50
far IS auto tourists are to be con-
sidered, was reflected yesterday
when advices were received that I.
A. Riordan, David Rabbit and
Thomas Pollock had formed a tri-
umvirate and would personally assist
in financing the building of the
state highway south of that city
to the Yavapai County line.
The road to be constructed will
cut through the plateau of the Mo
gollon mountains via half a dozen
places of historical as we'll as scenic
interest, and connect up the old state
highway. built a few years ago. The
state will outlay $1,000 in this coun-
ty TO the north of Camp Verde, that
being the sum to the credit of Yava-
pal, none OF which as yet has been
applied within its boundaries. Co
conino county, however, has disburs-
ed its allotment, on the east and
west highway. and is now eager TO
make direct connection with Pres
colt, which will close the gap in the
first section of the great north and
south highway that has been under
consideration for some years.
The state engineers are now in the
field north of Camp Verde and be
fore the summer ends a through
line from Prescott to Flagstaff will
be available.

SOME FISH STORY
BUT REALLY TRUE

The New York telegram publish
ed in the Journal-Miner yesterday
morning pertaining to the capture
of the largest monster of the deep
of record, is confirmed by John
Lindell, Charles H. Hooker, and
John A. Bozarth. Of this city, who
inspected the gigantic sea animal-hsh
at Miami. Florida, early in May,
when they were members of the
party of this city that made the
journey TO the Everglades. Mr.. Lin
dell gave an interesting account of
the capture made BY Captain Chas.
H. Thompson, with whom he per-
sonally conversed and preserved the
measurements which he verihes as
absolutely correct. They are pre-
sented below:
The weight was 10000 pounds.
Length, IS feet
Circumference. q feet nine inches
Diameter, 8 feet 3 inches.
Mouth, (openl 81 inches.
Mouth. SO inches wide
Mouth, 43 inches deep.
Tongue, 40 inches long.
Several thousand teeth as sharp as
the point OF a needle.
Had swallowed an animal weigh
ing 1900 pounds, and which was
found in the intestines.
The liver weighed 100 pounds.
Characteristics of the fish and ami
mal-contrary to all laws of natural
history.
Tail measured 10 feet from tip to
tip.
PICTORIAL fin feet long, feet
wide
Dorsal fin, feet long, 2 feet. 9
inches wide.
ellis, 4 feet long.
Hide, 3 inches thick. no scales.
The specimen was mounted by ].
s. Warmbeth, sent to Miami, Flor
ida, BY the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington. Over 1000 gallons
OF fluid were used in embalming
it.
All three Prescott visitors state
that the monster was captured on
May !, this year, a few days btfore
they reached Miami, in the vicinity
of Knights Key, where it had en-
tered shallow water, and was unable
to leave until after it had been har-
pooned. There were fired into its
body Isl bullets, of the soft nose
and explosive make, as we'll was it
harpooned FIVE times. 1t required
80 hours to subdue it, and FIVE
days to finally kill it. When it was
being overpowered in the ocean $50
miles away from where it was first
discovered, it travelled at times at
the rate of IS miles per hour.
This creature was pronounced by
officials of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton at Washington who came to
Miami to make a personal investi-
CATION as not classified in natural
history. and is one of the most re-
markable specimens ever captured.
1t is to be placed on exhibition
throughout the United States, by
Captain Thompson, and specially
designed car will transport it.

DIFFERENT ON
THESAYER TRAGEDY
Evidence Adduced at Coroner's Inquest
Shows Facts Surrounding Killing
Of Cameron by White.
(From Wednesday, Dsf1y.)

( in the gun another magazine oil
six cartridges.
1t is said he was preparing to
shoot again. when NJ. J. Rice, by
stander and eyewitness, grabbed
White, telling the latter that Cam
eron was dead.
Everyone of the six shots fred
by White took effect, as an examina-
ton later of the body of Cameron
proved. One bullet passed entire
iy through his body, and was picked
up later in his clothing. One bullet
penetrated the shoulder and another
the arm Two bullet wounds were
found on the right leg, while the
fatal wound was in the left breast,
near the navel, this probably reach
ing the heart Both men were in
their shirt sleeves, but Cameron had
no weapon on his person at the
time.
There were FIVE witnesses within
twenty feet of the two men at the
time of the shooting, Mrs. A. Con-
rad, who was hanging out clothes
on a line. R. J. Rice, Curtis Short,
Ned eagle and Reuben Ratarie.
The trouble between White and
Cameron originated from the pois
oning of dog at the camp of White
about two years ago, when Gamer
on put out strychnine, as he stated,
for coyotes. White had become
very much attached to the animal,
and accused Cameron of malicious
conduct. The men were neighborS
on the Hassayampa river, White
being identified with mining and
Cameron goat raiser. They became
bitter enemies after the dog was
killed, and up to the time of the
tragedy had not been on speaking
terms for over two years. Land
rights are also said to have figured
in the animosity of the two men.
Attorney E. S. Clark has been re-
tanned by Mr. White Both stated
to a representative of the Journal
Miner yesterday that the facts will
be developed at the preliminary
hearing at Congress Junction later
before Judge Luke, when the de-
Tense will give its version of the
unfortunate clash between the two
men.
Sheriff Keller found White at his
mining camp, where he went i'm
accompanied the sheriff to this city
without offering the slightest resis-
lance. White was reticent from the
time of his arrest and on the trip
to this city in conversing with
friends, and never mentioned the
tragedy in any manner whatever.

Telephone advices from Con-
stellation on Monday were decidedly
misleading as to the manner of the
killing of A. NJ. Cameron by Leon
ard White, at Sayer, and instead OF
Cameron meeting his death in the
way given publicity, he was shot by
White six times who was armed
with Colts automatic revolver.
Sheriff Keller arrived from Sayer
yesterday afternoon with White in
custody, as also did County Attor-
ney O'Sullivan, and Miss Oleen,
stenographer, after attending a cor
oner's inquest. The jury returned a
verdict that Cameron had been shot
and killed by White, without justi-
hcation, the verdict being based on
evidence given by several eye-wit
nesses OF the tragedy.
So far as the evidence adduced at
the coroner's inquest is concerned,
it appeared that on Monday morn
ing at about 1000 o'clock, White
drove into Sayer with his team Of
mules from his mining camp, about
four miles distant, and a short
time thereafter Mr.. Cameron came
into the same town riding his burro,
both men being after their mail. At
about II o'clock the stage from
Wickenburg brought the mail, but
in the meantime Mr. Cameron, who
was a deputy game warden, was
occupied in making out a hunters
license for one George Keyk and
delivered it to him. White went
into the postoffice for his mail, while
Cameron after issuing the license
to the hunter, started for the post
office also for his mail
When Cameron was within about
len feet of the door White stepped
out and faced Cameron. White was
heard to say something to Cameron
in low tone of voice that was in
audible, and was not heard in full
by witnesses, except that part OF
the conversation which spoke about
poison. Thereupon Cameron said to
White: You heard what | said.
Whereupon White was seen to draw
from his clothes an automatic six
shooter, when he fired two or three
times i'll rapid succession at Gamer
on who was only five feet away.
Each shot took effect, and Cameron
fell prone to the ground. White
then stepped away and to one side.
when he again fired two or three
shots more INFO the body of the dy
ing man who was writhing on the
ground. After emptying his revol-
yer into the body of Cameron.
White was seen to quickly take
out the empty magazine and place
