Moore giving the custody of the four year old daughter to the mother of the mother, who resides in Phoenix The decision states that the child will remain with that relative for the present only. Judge Smith was called to Phoenix to try this sensa- tional case, which occupied four days, behind closed doors, the evi- dence being so unwholesome in the family history of the principals, who since have become divorced, that this course met with the approval of all concerned The further hearing of the case will probably go to an other county at some time in the future, three trials having been gone through with up to the present time.

MINE INSPECTOR
 SUBMITS REPORT
Makes Some Good Recommendations For the Benefit of Companies
 And Their Employees.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

News Bureau of the Journal Min CT, Room 203 N. B. A. Building.
 PHOENIX, Jan 6-In his report just submitted to Governor Hunt, c. H. Bolin, state mine inspector, reviews the work of his branch of the state government from his ap- pointment to November Both, 1912 It will be recalled that the office of mine inspector was created by the constitutional convention anl the duties of the office were outlined by an act of the first state legislature following which the appointment of Bolin was made. Later William Farrell, John Harper and J. C. Vii son were named as deputies and with their chief have conducted the work of the office.
 In all at least two inspections have been made of all of the more impor- tant mining properties of the state. On the octassion of the first visit an effort was made to point out to the mine operators various changes which would work to the benefit of the employees and at the time of the second inspection changes which had been suggested were where they had been installed inspected.
 The greatest problem which con fronted the mine inspector and his deputies was that of mine ventila- ton which according to the report of the inspector was at the beginn- ing of his work very poor. In many cases the humidity was so great that it was almost impossible for employees to do an average shift of work without impairing their health to a marked degree.
 In discussing this question Mine Inspector Bolin says: "I want to
Weekly journal-miner., 1913-01-08

impress upon the minds of the man agers of the different mining com panies operating in the state, and am speaking from a practical stand point, that they cannot reduce the cost of production of ores by any system they adopt, more than they can by properly ventilating all of the workings of the mine To ob- tain the best results the interest of the employer and employee must be interdependent If the employees in a mine see that conditions are made as safe and sanitary as possible for his health and safety, he naturally takes more interest in the work he is doing and will accomplish more than he could if the mine was oper- ated in an adverse manner"
 According to the report much good has been accomplished by the inspections made all of the compan- ies joining with the inspector in putting into effect remedial correc- tions. Some of the operating mines have men employed whose sole duty it is to see that the temperature in the workings is kept reduced to at least 70 degrees fahrenheit.
 Tn all the inspector and his as sistants have attended six inquests for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the fatal accidents but in some cases it was impossible to ar rive at places desired in time in which cases the verdicts of coro- ners have been examined. In this connection the suggestion is made in the report that some provision of law be made for the appointment and compensation of deputy inspec- tors for each mining camp of i'm portance.

HELPED SURVEY
 THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT
(From Sundays Daily.)


 There passed away at the Pioner's Home in this city yesterday vener- able John Cheney, at the ripe age of over SC years, whose death follow ed after an illness of only a few days.
 He was born in Stanley, Missouri, on June l, 1928, and had resided continuously in Arizona since 1862, first arriving at Tucson. He was a cousin of theI late Bob" Groom, and accompanied the latter to Pres colt in 1863, remaining for several years but later drifting with the tide of mining excitments as they occur rel at different camps throughout the country.
 Mir Cheney assisted MT. Groom in laying out the town of Prescott early in 1864, which event he often com mented upon, and recalled the me thod of making the surveys. The in struments used were primitive, moul- ded from utilities on hand, the com pass being made of an old frying pan, and the delineations of the townsite being gauged from the north star in the heavens. Under this crude system of civil engineer ing the various blocks of the city were marked with metes and bounds running due east and west, and so accurate was the work done that not over foot in block of 600 feet in length was found to be any more inaccurate, when up-to-date instru- ments were available. The defec- tive lines, however ,are maintained to this day, and while some of the blocks may be somewhat topsy at ore end and turvy at the other, so far as the points of the compass are to be considered, the illusion is hardly perceptible to the eye.
 Mir. Cheney was a splendid citizen, genial in manners and generous to all. He was a builder of the coun- try, but in his declining years, step ped aside for younger men to han dle the helm. He has brothers re- siding at the old home and it is probable his remains vii be taken there for burial. The body is at Ruffner's being prepared for inter ment.

THE SCENE OF GREAT
 ACTIVITY
(From Tuesdays Dai1y.)

Arrivals yesterday from the Brad shaw mountains give good reports of the general outlook in mining in that field, and anticipate one of the best years known from the practical character of development going on
 The resumption of the Lincoln is attracting very~much favorable con- ment, the management driving a tun- mel to intersect at great depth a known vein tbat has every indica- ton from surface showings of prov ing the wisdom of that exploitation. Considerable supplies are going into the camp, and the outlook is de- cidedly encouraging for placing that we'll known property into a produc- tive stage and on a permanent basis.
 At the Del Pasco, W. A. Thorpe and associates are energetically drifting on the vein and following out a system of crosscuttins.
 The Crown King mill is steadily treating the old tailings dump of that mine, and the output is report ed a success by the new methods introduced. Concentration is the principle and the tonnage available is not only valuable, but will last for several months. The working of this dump is attracting very much in terest, after so many years of lying idle.
 At the War Eagle Gladiator camp, Lester Jackson continues his syste- matic operations at great depth, and a heavy tonnage is exposed for treatment at some time in the near future.
 J. P Waldron at the Montezuma camp, is carrying out a large line of tunnel work, awarding a contract recently to extend that exploitation for an additional 200 feet. The property is reported to be justifying the outlay of capital, and is destined later to get into the producing class.
 Foltz and associates are opening up Wire Gold properties, and will carry out a large line of work dur ing the spring.
 Staniland & Co., are in the field near the old Tiger on a new loca- ton, which carries attractive values in silver and is exciting very much comment throughout that section.

MAYER CITIZEN
 ANSWERS LAST CALL
(From Sundays Daily.)

Advices from Phoenix yesterday morning brought the sad news of the death of Dan Bowen which occurred at the insane asylum from pneumonia after an illness of less than five days. He was in feeble health when taken to that institu- ton, which accounted for his de- mented condition.
 The deceased enjoyed a splendid name as a citizen, upright in all dealings with his fellow man, and generous spirit that often was re- flected in the assistance extended so many. He followed mining, and owned several properties in the Big Bug district, among which was the onyx beds at Mayer. In early days he was quite wealthy, but met with reverses in Mexico, through the ex- tortions practiced upon him and his brother by officials.
 He came into Arizona from that country over thirty years ago, To- eating at Tucson. For over twenty years he had resided in this county, principally at Mayer. He has a sister residing in Iowa, as we'll as two nieces in that state An effort is being made to locate them. His remains will be- brought to this city today, and interment will be made later.

reclamation service and made this new contract with the company. get ting the company on it's part to sur render the old franchise thereby. And as the reclamation service had been canny enough to limit it's contract to ten years. why in d comparatively short time the gas and electric com pany would be up against the whole proposition de nOvo with its perpetual franchise perpctually wiped off the slate. And that surely would not be bad for the city, however it might affect the company.
 Back to the charge came Hensley and Galloway, and under vigorous and searching examination it was presently made to appear that this surrender of tho old perpetual franchise was all buncomhe The company had been obligated to fur nish light and power at all times un- interruptedly, but il was well known that service often had been inter rupted materially and for consider able periods. Therefore the franchise had long been forfeited and of no validity. and its surrender for the con tract that enabled il to rob the good people of Phoenix was q base device to deceive and obfuscate its victims.
