To The Housewife

Madam, il your husband is like
most men he expects you to look
after the health Of yourself and
children. Coughs and colds are
the most common Of the minor
ailments and are most likely TO
lead to serious diseases. A child
Is much more likely to contract
diptheria or scarlet fever when it
has cold. If you will inquire
into the merits Of the various
remedies that are recommended
for coughs and colds, you will find
that Chamberlain's Cough Rem

Of people who use it. 1t is prompt

HAS FAITH THAT
MINE WILL BE PRODUCER
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily)
r. r. Macdonald, a we'll known
mining operator of this section of
the State, has revived the old and
we'll known Socorro mines in the
Hsrqua Halas, and proposes to con-
duct a large line of deep develop
ment from his own individual re-
sources.
Arrivals yesterday from Wenden
stated the movement was attracting
considerable comment, this being
the first time in many years since
the famous old gold producer had
been placed in an active state. The
method of handling the ground is to
drift from the old level at the depth
of $50 feet where a fault was en-
countered by the former owners
and work was suspended. The the
ory of Macdonald is that when
this condition is passed through the
ore bodies will be found in place
and as an illustration. of this being
proved he states that the Yuma
Warrior development is kindred
and has terminated satisfactorily He
has recently rebuilt the old 20
stamp milf and quite force Of
miners is now employed.

FIRST TIME IN 80
--.'-. YEARS THEY MEET
From Wednesdays Da;lv1

(Erom Wednesdays Daily.)
An epoch in the lives OF two
men occurred in Prescott on Mon
day when VI. F. Griffin OF Spencer,
Iowa. and his brother, Judge y. L.
Griffin, of this city, met for the first
time in over sixty years. Both have
passed the goal OF attaining the
three-score and ten-year mark and
with that feat they are the only
two remaining ones on earth of
what was originally a large family.
The visitor is yet active in buSi-
ness cares and at present is lead
ing banker in his home city. He
is en- route to the coast for the
winter, and on his return trip East
will again visit Prescott. He de
sires to have his brother take the
back track over the old Santa Fe
trail to the homestead of their
boyhood days and IT is probable the
Hassayamper may decide to go and
grow up" with the country. Mr..
Griffin states that he has been en-
gagged in the banking business under
one roof since 1870, or for forty
four consecutive years, and when
half century is clipped off he pro-
poses to retire as the directors are
anxious to make 4 cleanup and get
into new and modern quarters.
The visiting Griffin is charmed
with Prescott's climate and stated
he does not believe in reprimanding
the prodigal son for coming to this
country and staying so closely by il
under the ideal conditions that are
apparent in prolonging ones life
as there is an elixir in the ozone
that is simply indisputable. Maybe
I'll try the medicine on the trin
back if the Eastern business situa-
ton is agreeable" was his closing
remark as. both got aboard the
train for the north. -

NIIOIll 1Hul SuAy > DdllJ-J
The worldwide search for Kurt
Hammann, son OF a famous ply
sician in Berlin. touched Prescott
with the receipt of a letter by
Coroner Charles II. McLane from
H. X. Fiegler of Denver, Imperial
German Counsel. In the communi-
cation. the auxiliary to the search
asks fot information regarding the
death of an unidentified man in a
railroad accident in 1909.
The missing man was last heard
of in this vicinity about March, 1909.
Coroner McLane, in looking up his
records, found that but one man
had been killed by a railroad in
this vicinity during 1909.
The accident occurred at Cedar
Glade in February OF 1909. Inas-
much as the missing man had been
heard of at a later date, the clue,
it is believed, will not be productive
of results. The man killed was
about IS years of age. Other details
have been forwarded by the coroner.

The two witnesses told OF Torres
admissions that he had shot a man
and wanted to get away fast; that
he held the fatal rifle in his hand
when he made these admissions &c
them, and OF his fast departure
after he had shed his coat. The
testimony was OF the most damaging

All through it, Torres barely more
than twenty-four years of age, sat
with downcast eyes appearing sew

down his Drowned cheek as the &C

was carrying 4 % rifle. Suddenly

wheeled. aimed the muzzle at his

FIGHT STARTED
OVER SHERIFF DEEDS
From thursdays DailY.l


Suit to quiet title to valuable min
ing property has been instituted in
the superior court by four plain
tiffs against w. II. Kreeger. another
claimant to the property. The plain
tiffs are Dennis Welch, NJ. J. No
Ian. H. D. Ross and P w. O'Sul-
Ivan. The property involved is val
ued at about $4,000.
The history of the case is along
these lines:
About three years ago Dennis
Welch secured a Judgment against
the American Gold Company, own
ers OF the premises at that time.
At sheriff's sale. WEIGH bought
in the property and secured Sher-
ifs deed to it. Later he sold a
twenty-five per cent interest to NJ.
J. Nolan. Ross and O'Sullivan,
local attorneys, were later rendered
fifteen per cent interest in pay
ment for legal services.
In the meanwhile Kreeger was
also rendered a sheriff's deed by
virtue of a claim he held against
the defunct company and took pos
session of the property. The pres
ent suit will settle for all time the
permanent ownership of the prem
iscs.
The property is located in the
Humbug district and consists OF four
claims and a quartz mill.
