(From Thursdays Daily.)

(FrOm Thursday s Dally.D
 From authoritative sources 1t was learned yesterday that the Consoli- dated Arizona Smelling Company at Humboldt Is entering on an era that would indicate a decided departure from former methods of treating the mineral output of their hold ings, and that the expenditure of a very large sum of money is to be made in the next few months, indi- eating that the propositions is a sue. cess.
 The probability of the plant being opened again to the custom market
 is under consideration and with the capacity increased, this move is eX- pected to follow.
 The rehabilitating of the smelter is now going on and among the noteworthy improvements the fol lowing additions are being made; The enlarging of the concentrating mill from l5O tons to 250 tons in treating capacity is going ahead. The putting in of q Notation process IS attracting very much attention IT metallurgical circles, this treatment being the first of is character 10 be introduced in the northern part oi the State. and which will simplify reduction and promote the securing of values on a scale that will give this plant a distinctive rating of the future. There is to be installed a battery of fourteen Wililey tables, and six jigs. Plans for a new re verberatory furnace and new wedge roastcr are under consideration. The latter process Is similar to that be ing placed in the new shelter of the United Verde at Clarkdale All foun- da.ions for the new additions arc to begin being laid in week. and it IS believed that by the middle of March the completed plant will be ready for operating.
 In the meantime the Blue Bcll mine has been closed down to clear up the ore stocks in the yards oi th@ smeltcr. The affairs of the com pany ;n short are reported to be iu a healthier condition than at any time in its history and with the heavy ore reserves of the Blue Bell mine and the producing properties scattered throughout the county the future of this ore market center $ q very encouraging one.

YOUTHFUL PLAY ALMOST
 ENDS IN TRAGEDY
(From Thursdays Daily ]


 Following a successful operation during which the bullet was ex- tracted, fourteen-ycar-old Jimmy Smith, son of Postmaster and Mrs A. L. Smith, was yesterday after noon, reported out of all danger X-ray photographs taken Tuesday night, immediately after the acci- dent, located the bullet in the lads thigh. The bone was not touched The lad will probably bear no ill., effects in after-life to show for his thoughtless play.
 Jimmy on Tuesday afternoon re ceived his cousin, Louis Venator, who had come to spend New Years with him. Late in the afternoon t two, with young Smith in charge of his automatic gun, sallied out to the target upon the hill. Louis grasped the gun and shot Un- aware of the fact that it was an au- tomatic he lowered 1t in an uncon- cerned manner.
 Suddenly a flash followed a loud report. Jimmy grasped his side and then his thigh. His companion was dazed and at a loss to under stand the situation.
 I'm shot" said Jimmy.
 Believing that he was joking his companion ran over to him. The sprinkle of blood convinced him that the truth was being told.
 Jimmy picked himself up and, limping upon one leg, gamely start ed for home. After walking half- way he was picked up in a wagon and delivered at the residence of his parents in Mount Vernon street.
 Several physicians were immedi- atciy called and at night several X-ray photographs were taken to locate the bullet which was finally found in the flcshy part of the thigh. The bullet had grazed the skin over the stomach and lodged .n the thigh, almost going through and missing the bone by about half an inch.
 Drs Yount, Looney and Finn performed the operation at o'clock yesterday afternoon. after which the young fellow was reported out of all danger.

DAN CUPID WAS
 BUSY DURING YEAR.
(From Thursdays Daily)

T lOlAA I AlA.- quay 1)s-Ay-f
 Dan Cupid was mighty hustlina chap around these diggings during the year, which passed, with the sounding of the courthouse clock ai midnight. His assistant, Court Clerk Patrick Farley, was kept upon the jump. issuing a total of l6l marri- age licenses. Of this number all but ten were utiziled. The remain der-what became of them is nys- tery. Sudden change of heart, etc, Is the most reasonable supposition under the circumstances.
 Justice of the Peace Charles (. McLane easily carries off the prize as the marriage justice" In fifty one cases, two hearts were made to beat as one; two lives inter woven for time evermore.
 Poetic expression comes easy with thoughts of the new year and brigh. resolutions. but visions of the sta tistics shattcr all.
 Get this-therc were lifty-onc di- vorcc trials instituted during the year. In other words, Dan Cupid, instead of racing with the birth mark, was further handicapped by q contest from the evil ones angle
 The remainder oi the marriages, not gobbled up by Justice of the Peace McLane, are distributed among a score or more of minister and peace justices throughout the county. In the courthouse, how ever. all roads lead to one direc- ton for the anxious, blushing ones 10 the McLane Haven. A rushing business during the past two weeks has aided materially in setting II? this record.
 The theory that the present arc hard times is shattered by the fact that but 1l5 licenses were issued ;n 1912. as against the much larger number during the hoodoo period.
 In all, a total of 234 lawsuits were instituted in the Superior Court and the majority are now off the caler- dar. Of this figure. large mum Der were tax collection suits.
