MARSH CASE MAY GO
TO HIGHER COURT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

1t is probable that the case OF
Howard +. Marsh. accused OF hav
ing embezzled the sum of two hun
drcd dollars from Miss Sophie Dal-
ton, will go to the superior court
in which event it will come up for
trial some time in December.
Marsh is still in Jail. having been
unable to comply with requirements
that might have resulted in his re
lease. These tacit stipulations were
that if he would repay the money
he acknowledged having secured
from Miss Dalton and also pay at
least one hundred dollars OF the
costs. which will amount to much
more than this sum he might be
released. His preliminary hearing
was held some three weeks or more
ago. He contended that he had
borrowed the money on note due
in seven months at seven per cent
interest. Miss Dalton just as strong
ly averred that he took the money
through false representations. and
the testimony of the two was prac
tically all the evidence before Judge
McLane. The judge held the case
in allegiance, with the evident view
OF having the matter settled without
binding Marsh over. if possible. it
appearing probable that the con
iicting testimony would hardly be
sufficient TO convict There is little
question that had Marsh been able
to raise the necessary three hundred
dollars he would have been dis
charged. although no statements to
this effect have ever been made by
the Judge.

LARGE SUM FOR
ASSESSMENT WORK

(From Wednesdays Daily)
c. D. Rynearson is in the city
from Kirkland valley completing ar
engagements for performing the an
nual assessment work on the hold
ings of the Walnut Grove Water
Storage Company
This year over $1,000 is to be ex-
pended in continuing the wagon
road from Moore's spring to the
damsite, distant about twelve miles.
The annual assessment work in past
years has been scattered at different
points, but this year the move is
believed to be the forerunner of
having an outlet for the great pro
ject in view OF early construction
being practically decided upon.
Since Mr.. Rynearson has had
charge OF the company's interests in
the above line he has expended over
$4,000. and in the aggregate at
least 100000 has been outlayed since
the dam was destroyed in 1890.

enburg, in this county, work being
suspended when the decline in cop
per occurred. Over $500 feet OF
exploration was given and the dis
6ursements reached to over $4,000.
The showing is excellent, and ac
cording to statements made by Mr.
Wcbbcr yesterday, there IS but little
doubt exploration will be carried
out as originally planned, conditions
being decidedly attractive in large

Morris is practically a demonstrate
ed property, and now that the future
of copper seems to be coming
around again slowly to normal con-
ditions, it is my belief that when
the eastern investors are on the
ground and appreciate the splendid
possibilities OF their holdings, de-
velopment will be authorized. and
production will begin, to reap the
benefit OF better times in the red
metal market.
There is another matter. however.
that faces the material end OF the
mining industry OF the state which is
proving veXatious to heavy investors
and that is the indisputable fact
OF there being too much law for the
outsider to digest Chaotic condi-
tons are evident. and with this feel
ing OF unrest. men OF means are
slow to enter and will be until con-
ditions change and security as well
as relief from future disturbances
to vested rights is assured. The in
coming legislature has a splendid op-
portunity facing it. The wiping
away OF the bulky and burdensome
laws governing mine investments
and the mine itself, will bring in
capital instead OF keeping it out. We

prevailing and to assist. rather than

TIGER GOLD CAMP
WILL SOON BE REVIVED
(From Thursdays Oaily.)

(frOm thursdays Daily-l
The recent trip TO the Bradshaws
of George S. Connolly, president OF
the Tiger Gold Company, is report
ed to have been for another purpose
than the installing OF a big custom
reduction plant at Crown King,
the matter of reviving the above
old gold property at Harrington, be-
ing taken u? for earnest considera-
ton.
Two mining engineers who &C
companied Mr.. Connolly are report
cd to have given q favorable report
on this property. Their mission was
a broad one, it is said, to ascertain
the tonnage to be derived from
mines in that field for the projected
custom plant Certain matters are
to be adjusted however, in which
the Barnes holdings figure to
large extent and are to be closed up
before a reorganization will be ef-
fected This question, it is re-
ported from reliable sources, will
be settled. and under the new ar
rangement large operations are con
templatcd.
One OF the strong inducements
that leads up to an active camp be-
ing established in the near future,
is the cost of treating the product
at a very much reduced expense
over old methods. in which the new
electric service will be factor in
solving a vexatious problem. One
of the units OF the new plant Sc
iected for the Bradshaw Basin will
be installed at Harrington, the pow
er to be generated near Crown
King. Also it is reported to be
probable that after the Harrington
plant is running, the Gazellc and

HIGH GRADE ORE
FROM LITTLE JESSIE

(From Wednesdays Daily)
Arrivals yesterday from the Little
Jessie camp in Chaparral stated an
air OF satisfaction was noticeable at
the old mine, which was supported
by the splendid showing made re-
Gently in the 300-foot level. where
ore bodies OF high grade value were
encountered.
One shipment OF a few tons was
made to Humboldt, and another to
r. H. Hetherington, OF this city,
both patches being taken from the
same zone, that gave returns OF $500
in gold to the ton. Both the cast
and west sections OF this level are
reported to be in this character OF
ore, as well is a milling grade be
ing developed that would run close
to so per ton.
The mill Of John s. Jones starts
dropping stamps today, and quite
a tonnage is ready for testing the
values. This property is but dupli-
eating its past record Of early days,
when it was not an uncommon pro-
Queer of ore that ranged to as high
as $500 per ton. One car shipped to

the so per ton grade was the aver
age value that was shipped. 1t is

PHOENIX TERRORIZED
BY UNKNOWN FIREBUG

PHOENIX. Nov. l7.-That this
city has a hrebug has been dem
onstrated beyond the possibility OF
doubt, and that the iend has start
ed no less than seven conhagra-
tons in less than a week IS no less
true. although he has not yet been
captured.
Suspicious to this effect have been
rife ever since last Friday when the
first OF a series OF seven fires was
lit. but not until Monday night had
anything developed to transform the
belief into a hideous reality. Last
night while the red glare OF the
ruins OF the Goldman warehouse
was still reflected in the heavens,
4. f. Loecher. engineer OF the Phoe-
nix Flour Mills, discovered an I'M
known person in the yards OF the
flour mills in the act of applying
a lighted match to a neatly ar
ranged pile of oil waste. From this
pile a drapery of oil waste hung
over the open door OF a box car,
evidently to carry the fire inside.
Loecher grabbed the iend by the
coat collar and tried to throw him,
but the intruder struck him a blow
squarely on the jaw, knocking him
down and escaping. Later in the
evening evidently the same man was
discovered near another blaze which
he had started and the Waterman
fired twice at him but to no avail.
As soon as the Waterman had eX
tinguished these flames he discover
cd still another fire in an old shack
nearby. which was probably the
work OF the same man. or some
one who was helping him in his
dastardly employment.
The fires laid at the door OF this
bug are the Goldman warehouse. a
box car near the flour mills. the
lighted blaze in the \. F. yards,
the Light warehouse, a caboose on
the tracks OF the A. T. warehouse,
all on Friday night, and the four
fires lighted Monday night.
The Goldman warehouse was a
total loss. including fifty tons Of
hay. a large quantity OF grain and
equipment, the total value OF which
is estimated at $1,000. All this. COM
ing in connection with the loss Of
the Harry ]. Jones block. Sl50O00,
is a serious infliction by the fire
fend in less than one weeks time
1t is the theory of the officers
that the person guilty OF starting
these fires has some imaginary griev-
ance against the Arizona Eastern
Railroad Company.
The yards of the company and
other places about the city where it
is suspected such hend might want
to get in his dastardly work. are be
ing guarded by numerous watchmen
with sheltered electric torches under
their coats in a determined move
ment to catch whoever may be
guilty.
