LARGE PLAN OF
 DEVELOPMENT DECIDED ON
(From Fridays Daily.)

F. H. Drury, vice president Of the New Mexico Lead and Copper O., is decidedly optimistic over the tu- ture possibilities of the group on Mount Union, basing this belief from a three days examination.
 With J. w. Meyer, secretary, he arrived from Chicago last week, both being here for the first time and for the purpose of outlining a large plan of development as q re syJt of their examinations Instead of concentrating work on one claim as originally projected, the Efhe and Florence mines are to be extensively explored, both showing attractive conditions from limited development.
 New and modern machinery is to be installed immediately and the two mile stretch of the old wagon road IS to be repaired to transport the heavy mechanical equipment.
 Being a practical mining man, and associated with other undertakings, Mir. Drury speaks advisedly in an ticipating a splendid future for the above proposition. He is the secre- tary of the Mark Process Company for the desulphurization of ores, this -principle reducing the treatment cost 10 about one-third of the present methods. Several plants are runhihs thI.foughout the west, and in due time one is to be installed in this field, where this character of a re- bellious yield predominates. and es- -Dee;s,.; -Dees;s,.; in all districts to the east of this city
 MT. Meyer has concluded to make Prescott his headquarters in the fu- lure, and will act as the general manager of the company. He IS ex- perienced in mechanical channels and likewise is enthusiastic over his mining interests. Before leaving for the east yesterday Mir. Drury ex. pressed himself in pronounced manner over the attractions of Pres cott, the wonderful state highway for scenic beauties, and the unequal led climate He contemplates mak ing another trip in the very neal future.

pass a law putting into effect the provisions of the amendment. If no special election is called in the meantime the voters of the State will ballot on the question of issu- ing bonds for good roads, at the general election in 1916.
 T. G. Norris, president of the Ari- zona Good Roads Association, who was in the city Tuesday, heartily endorsed the movement, and said that every good roads booster in Arizona would work for the initia- ton and adoption of the amendment.
 The Arizona Automobile Dealers Association at a luncheon held at the Adams Hotel passed resolutions in favor of the movement and each member was pledged to work and boost for the success of the bond issue.
 State Engineer Lamar Cobb, nat urally an enthusiastic good roads booster, stated that the issuing oi a substantial amount of bonds for the purpose of constructing roads would save the tax payers of Arizona many thousands of dollars. livery taxpayers league in the State should endorse and work for the bond issue" said Mir. Cobb. "It means that Arizona will then be able to build good substantial roads without burdening the taxpayers oi today. The future generation will help pay for our good roads because the bonds will not be due for long time"
 Secretary Davidson will ask every board of supervisors, every cham Der of commerce, every automobile club, and every good roads associ- ation in the State to assist in circu- lating the initiative petitions and to afterwards work for the adoption ei the amendment by the voters of the State.

 The passing of this soldier and upright citizen of the early days will be learned fwith sorrow through out the state, and especially in this section, where he had resided since lS63.

(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

Ore shipments from the Com mercial mines in Copper Basin are to be appreciably increased in the future, Geo. C. Rufner sending an other team of six mules from this city yesterday. The contract calls for the delivery to the railroad at Skull Valley of about forty tons per day, for shipment to the Copper Queen smelters at Douglas.

A young and beautiful Portuguese woman, Mademoiselle Constance da Cana, is indefatigable in her efforts to secure better treatment for Roy alist prisoners in Portugal who sui fer bad treatment at the honds of the Portuguese government. Court proceedings do not deter her any more than the handships of naviga- tion deterred her famous ancestor, Vasco da Cana, from sailing out to India in the fifteenth century.
 The activities of this young woman brought her before a court martial in Lisbon in April on a charge of conspiracy against the government. She was tried and acquitted. She at once resumed her campaign in Op- orto, where she has collected $lSOO for the relief of Royalist prisoners. As Mademoiselle da Cana journeys through the country she is hailed as heroine by Royalist prisoners, who bow down before her in grateful ac- knowledgment of her self-sacrihce in their cause. Her courageous persis- tence is attracting considerable sd- miration even from officials of the Republic.
 To the Duchess of Bedford, anoth- CT woman devoted to the Royalist cause, belongs the distinction of be- ing the principal accuser of the Por- tuguese government in the matter of their treatment of political prisoners. Material for her revelations, which have caused something of a sensa- ton, was secured during visits which she made in person to the various prisons. The Portuguese govern ment, however, protests against these revelations, as we'll as the attacks against the Republic which have ap- peared recently in foreign news papers.

PATRON OF BIRDS
 AND WILD ANIMALS

PARIS, May 22.-President Poin care is strongly opposed to the kill ing of animals and birds for sport, and one of his first acts after cleo ton was to announce himself a pat ron of the French society whose purpose is to afford protection to animals. He does not, however, wish to pose as an animal lover. merely in name, and he has just made the official announcement that he will not hold gun in hand during his term of office.
 This decision of the President is an entirely personal one. He dc clares he has no intention of inter fering with the sport of others, and that when his duties require him to be present at a Presidential hunting party, he will fulfill them.
 It is believed, however, that this attitude of NJ. Poincare will have a considerable effect on Presidential entertaining during the coming year: of his administration One of tho chief attractions of France to roYa visitors has been the magnificent coverts of the Presidents country seat at Rambouillet, but out of de. ference to the opinions of NJ. Poin care, it is believed that most roya visitors will refrain from hunting while in France.

Two of the most celebrated picture actors in France are NJ. Prince, of the historic Varieties theatre, and Max Linder. They are both exceed ingly inventive and manage to evolve every week some clever pantomimic comedy in which they take the prin- cipal parts and stage manage the entire production.
 Although both regularly employed in playing leading parts in the best theatres of Paris and the provinces, the earnings of these two actors in royalties from the moving pictures far exceed not only their own con siderable salaries from the "legiti- mate" practice of their art, but prob ably the profits of most popular ac- tor-managerS. Max Linder alone is understood to have received over $200,OO0 from his moving picture work in the past three years.

The municipal authorities of Paris have under consideration an ordi- nance making it obligatory for all motor cars to carry a device by means of which passengers in the interior of their car may stop it in stantly without the assistance of the chauffeffur Such a measure would prevent accidents similar to that in which the two children of Isadora Duncan met their death. Another preventable accident of the same kind was caused in Paris q short time ago by a chauffeur fainting on his box. The proposed device which the technical committee of the Pre- lecture of the Seine have before them for consideration, is said to be easily applied to any automobile at a cost of about ten dollars.
