ANIMALS GIVEN
 RUN FOR THEIR LIVES
(From Thursdays Daily.)

John A. Sanderson, famed as a hunter and trooper, whose arrival in Arizona was mentioned a short time ago by the Journal-Miner, is certainly an interesting character, and above everything else a true blue sportsman, in giving wild ami mals a run" for their life.
 He writes an interesting letter to J. H. Drew, among other things saying that the method many hunt CTS follow in using poison to capture their prey, is to be condemned and against which law should be pass ed. He states that he is very much opposed to using poison in any manner whatever. MT. Sanderson at present is at Cottonwood, in the Upper Verde Valley, but is prepar- ing to move on to the bear and lion fields in short time He has hunt ed large and small game from the iiAiN OA Ai4N NHdaAOi AO AA4N ANONhAN1 in Canada, and has profited by the business. His favorite method in bringing down game is to use well trained dog and follow what he terms a slow trail, which is the saf- est and surest way in hunting big game especially. Steel traps are also serviceable for certain kinds of game and with the unerring aim of the hunter, there is remuneration in fol lowing the business, if game i: abundant
 He will go into the Wild Horse Basin country within short time where the mountain lion abounds 1T great numbers, and is causing yer, much destruction among the live stock interests.

Mortgage Tax Contemplated.

Word has been received in this city that an effort will be made at the next session of the legislature to introduce a mortgage tax, simi- lar to the Minnesota mortgage tax. Local politicians are Of the opinion that a strong fight will be made on the bill, if it is proposed.
 The Minnesota law provides for a tax of 50 cents on each Sl0O for which a mortgage is made. The law is designated, on the face of it, 10 help the man who is borrowing the money on a mortgage. The tax is paid by the person making the loan and is paid 10 the county treas urer where the mortgage is regis tered. The mortgage then became exempt from all other taxes. As at present the proposed bill to come be fore the next legislature will be modelled on this law.
 Although designed to protect the borrower Of money, the law would, in all probability fail in this regard, those who are keeping "tab" of the bill say. This would be done by the lender adding to the interest to be paid by the borrower the amount of the tax. This could be done by the mortgage being made through third party, so that there would be no conflict with the legal rate oi interest to be charged. Supposing the legal rate amounted to 10 per cent, the borrower would have to pay this and an additional percen- tage, sufficient to cover the tax, to loan the agent" who negotiated the loan. Local politicians express the opinion that a strong fight will be made on the bill if it is introduced.

Cobb's Christmas Present.

The Christmas present or Cover nor Hunt to State Engineer Lamar Cobb was the appointment as dele gate from the state Of Arizona to the New Orleans convention of the National Rivers Control Congress which meets in the Delta City on January 9th, 1913. The appointment of MT. Cobb comes as the result of a suggestion conveyed to the gov ernor in a communication from the board of trade following meeting with Hon. E. B. Smith, president of the Yuma County Water Users association recently who addressed the board on the advisability of sending delegate from Arizona to the congress.
 The intention of the Yuma County Water Users is to send delegate or two from that section, and a movement is on foot to send still other delegates from other parts of the state, but it was deemed wise, because of the importance of the congress, and the necessity that the Colorado river basin obtain substan- tial recognition in the drafting of the Newlands River Control Bill with its consequent s5o,0o0OO0 per annum appropriation, which is to be pre- sented to congress immediately af- ter-the-holidays resumption of the session.

Almost Too Late.

An idle suggestion, casually drop ped in the course of a conversation between friends, saved Mayor Huff man, Assessor-elect Duncan, City Treasurer-elect Brooks, Recorder elect Cowan and City Marshal-elect Rolling from being disqualified, and at that the rescue was made in the course of scant two hours.
 There is a provision in the city's charter which says:
 The mayor and common council shall meet within five days after any election and canvass the returns and declare the results. * x Should any of the officers elected fail to qualify and give the bond required for the period of ten days after their election, the office shall be vacant and shall be filled as here matter provided"
 When the work of taking the oath of office and filing bonds was finish ed the officials rallied around the clerks desk and all together-ike that-gave loud, air-ripping sigh of relief. Also they probably bought
 Had the day been allowed to pass without these formalities the offices of mayor, city assessor, treasurer city recorder and city marshal would have been vacant following the ex- piration of the present terms of of fee and the places would have beer filled by the mayor and the counci until the next succeeding election.

(From Saturdays Daily.) )

 There is more money in pene- trating the ethereal cline than in delving into the bowels of the earth" was the trite expression us- ed by Fred Denton, in letter to a friend in this city from East St. Louis, as he started his career as a birdman in an aeroplane.
 Denton was formerly a miner of this county and between laboring for wages and working properties oc- casionally to limited depth, had a varied experience. He was some thing Of a mechanical genius, and in tackling aviation states that it is simply the finest recreation he ever experienced with remuneration enough to double-discount the game with a pick and drill. He is pro- tege of a German aviator, and up- to-date has gone up in the air eleven times, the greatest height being about 250 feet He is learning the stunts of the business, and is slated to go abroad in the spring, after his marriage to a young society girl oi the above city His sister was a visitor to Prescott two years ago, and was accompanied to her home at Rock Island by her brother, since which time he has become innocu- lated with the high flying mania.

EMPIRE MAKING A
 VERY FINE SHOWING.

L. H. Johnson who has returned from the Arizona Empire Mining Company's camp, sixteen miles out of Parker, reports that property as exciting more interest as a copper producer of high rating, than any other mine undertaking in that DOT ton of the state.
 From the amount of develop ment performed, and with the bon anza values of the ore, in gold alone, the prediction is made that it is destined to attain a foremost rank in the state without regard to locality. The camp was recently re-established and at the present time a force of about twenty min CTS is employed.
 The Eagle claim is the location where the fabulous values are being returned, and as depth is being giv- en the interest manifested is reach ing to all outside points. C. w. Mitchell, identified with the Pacific Copper Mining Company, of the Bradshaw mountains, is general manager, while his superintendent is Thos. D. Marmont, favorably known in this field as a mining claim.

was being concealed. The clrculn-
stances of his death commenced to
grow Immediately and we are of the
opinion that the popular idea of the
tragedy is far more serious, and we are
quite sure it is remembered much
longer than if the facts had been
stated in the beginning.
A few weeks ago woman who
lives on 1.-The street called easy ar
rested in Los Angeles confessed that
it was she who had killed young Mar
shall Field. According to her story
the young man was shot in a resort
whose name is not mentioned in
polite society from which he was re-
moved before his death. She says
that she was given $500 to get out
|of the country a few days following
the tragedy. But the Chicago news
papers had nothing to say about this
confession.
Had the death of young Field been
that of prominent man in neigh
boring city the Chicago papers would
have devoted columns of space to it
However the Marshall Field company
| is big advertiser and the story oi
the tragedy was treated with great
care. But, beyond doubt, the sup
preston of the facts has made mat
ters worse adding to the story feat
ures that may not concern 1t and i'm
posing on the Chicago newspapers th'
lcharge of having violated theil
obligations to the public by th'
lpromise of advertising favor. Aftel
leight years the Marshall Field Incl
dent has been revived in a magnifie,
form. If the truth had been publish
ed in the beginning the affair woult
have been forgotten by this time.
