Niagara Falls, June 1S.--Emilio
Rabasa. one of the Mexican delegates
TO the mediation congress, issued a
statement in which he declared that
tho insistence by the United States
on the selection OF constitution
alist for provisional president would
be 'antamount to abetting and even
exactlng fraud and violence at the
elections
The American delegation answered
the memorandum and said the prefer
ance for a constltutionalist for pro-
visinal president was due wholly TO
he conviction that man Of that
party must be taken In order to in
sure the disarmament OF all factions
hat otherwise would menace the
new Mexican government, IL man
not satisfactory to the constitution.
alists should be installed In place Of
Huerta
The United States contends that
he agreement with Huerta on
neuiral'' would be valueess unless
the great body Of constitutionalst
roops is ready to accept him which
lid not seem likely, from their ex
pressed attitude.
The Mexican delegation said II is

opinion might be publicly approved

HAS
SOLVED BIG
PROPERTY
NEW DEVELOPMENT IN
COPPER BASIN MINES
IS MOST NOTEWORTHY
EVER MADE

Fifty feet OF a solid and unbrok-
en- body OF copper ore has been
determined by the Commercial Min
ing Company in their Copper Ba-
sin holdings. and that there may
be no exaggeration OF the pro-
nounced neurological condition
proven, Major A. J. Pickrell, in
charge, yesterday confirmed the
strike that has now been verified.
Mining men also. who have in
spected the property during the
past few days. oorroborate the news,
and furthermore state, the explora-
ton reveals what they regard as
the most noteworthy copper devel-
opment that has ever taken place
in this field in recent years. Major
Pickrell was elated over the out
come of work. and stated yesterday
the Commercial now enters on an
era that is indicative of a better
rating than at any time in its his
tory
Speaking OF zone where deve;-
opment has been prosecuted recent
ly, he states the new ore bodies
were cut into in a vein that parallels
where the original strike occurred
in Garbarino Hill. several months
ago. The objective point was to
reach the footwall, and the driving
of a crosscut was decided upon.
In performing this work the wall
has been reached at a depth of 20
feet, but the crosscut now shows
a solid fifty foot ore body, the last
twelve feet of which gave values
of ten per cent in copper The ore
is 4 carbonate, red oxide and az
rite and is characteristic of the min
eralogical conditions proven in 9TH
er portions of the property. The
main tunnel is now to be energeti-
cally pushed ahead to the north
for an additional 100 feet. when
prosecuting will begin. The ex-
tent of the ore body proven TO-
gether with the values given, mining
men say places this mine and that
belt in a far more favorable rat
ing than at any time in its many
years of limited development, as
well is the strike regarded as a
forerunner OF permanency in the
line OF future heavy production.

TO RAISE TROUT
ON AR|zONAN
RANCH
CORPORATION CAPITAL
lied AT $4,000 FORMED
TO PROMOTE LUCRA-
TIVE PROPOSITION

Supplying fresh trout to the peo-
pie of Prescott and Arizona is the
object of the five men who have
launched the Crystal Springs Trout
Company, a corporation to buy,
raise, sell, propagate and generally
deal in all kinds of fresh fish and to
build and construct hatcheries for
the raising of fish. The capital
stick is $4,000 and the incorpor-
ators are Leroy Anderson, r. K.
Porter, Dr. c. H. Totten. w. L.
Roberts and S. A. Cotterell. The
first three named are local men.
Roberts is the owner of the ranch
which has been leased to the cor
poratfon and Cotterell is the man
behind the gun" who will manage
the business by virtue of wide
experience in this line.
Articles of Incorporation have
been drawn up by Anderson and
Lamson and approved by the State
Corporation Commission. The work
of constructing the hatcheries will
commence at once.
The general scope of the work is
simply explained. After the hatch
cries are erected, several hundred
thousand small fish will be import
cd, placed and raised in these spec
tally prepared hatcheries and lakes.
A large investment is necessary to
guarantee results but it is declar-
ed that the returns are enormous.
Ten inch trout are guaranteed with
in as many months.
A large market is expected for
the fish in this vicinity. The COM
pany, however, figures upon dis
posing of a major portion of its
output to the Harvey restaurant
system OF the Santa Fe railroad. At
the present time, the entire fish
market in this city and vicinity de-
ponds upon the coast for its sup
ply. Fish, right from the lake to
the door is promised by the new
corporation.
Work will be commenced at once
in converting the Roberts ranch in
Skull valley TO meet, with the re-
quirements of the new business. Mr..
Cotterell comes from Salt Lake
City and was previously connected
with a similar institution which is
making great Roadway and enor-
nous profits.

that time the company has annual
ly expended several thousand dol
lars in performing title work to
hold the various locations embrac-
ing the zone to be uti-
lized for water storage purposes
and rights of way along that stream.
This property and the rights of Mrs.
Whitman's father descended to her
and she inherited her fathers firm
determination to rebuild the dam
on a larger and more substantial
scale than was originally in evil
dence. The plans as prepared and
filed for record include the main
storage reservoir to be constructed
on the site of the old dam, short
distance from Wagner in the lower
end of Walnut Grove, where it is
estimated that 10000 acre feet of
water can be stored. Another stor-
age site on the Hassayampa, near
Wickenburg, with a capacity of g
600 acres feet is also designated.
From this point will be run a pipe
line and canal about fifteen miles
in length to the land to be re-
claimed.
During the past ten years reports
have been circulated of the intention
to rebuild this immense water stor-
age service, but with the official
action taken recently, the consum-
nation OF the big undertaking
seems at last to be assured. 1t
will be of vast importance to Pres
colt and Yavapai county, for the
reason that in addition to the agri-
cultural benefits to accrue, the en-
tire southern part of the county
including the Bradshaws, will be
revolutionized by being afforded
electrical power with which TO op-
crate mines. This principle was to
prevail with the old company, as
well was hydraulic mining on a
huge scale to be prosecuted along
streams tributary to the Hassay-
ampa owned by the company. This
project will be the biggest in the
west, under the ownership OF pri
vate capital. Preliminary work in
dam building at the two sites, will
begin in a short time, was the in
formation impaired at the State land
office.

According to information received
from Phoenix and official sources,
the rebuilding Of the Walnut Grove

close in Prescott. Manager Viii

they are, count 'em-Diskin, Hager,

The indications are that if the
Bears book another game, it will
be staged in this city, and probably
next Sunday. There's something in
the air, for the way Elliott wants
to bring his Cockneys to Prescott
is something of a caution. Prob
ably his anxiety is intensified by
virtue OF the fact that his boys

PATHETIC CASE IS
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
(From Sundays Dally)

Thirty years ago among the van
of railroad builders who brought
with them civilization into the
southwest, was John Davis, a me-
chanic of skill and recognized by
his superiors as a man to be de-
pended upon. But the blood of a
turbulent district was in his veins.
In fit of passion one day, he killed
one of his men.
Two days ago, John Davis, an
aged decrepit old man walked into
the Office of Judge Frank o. Smith
of the Superior Court and asked
admission to the Pioneers Home.
Two hours later he was in the of
fee OF Attorney T. G. Norris, the
only person of that collection OF
lawyers and witnesses at the Davis
trial, living today. Still a few
hours later, Davis with ticket in
his hand, left FOR the home of a
neice in Albuquerque, there to spend
the remaining days of his life.
Imbued with the spirit of the
west and the wonderful opportuni-
ties it Offered, Davis, then a man
in the prime OF life came west with
the road builders. When the line
was completed up to Winslow, a
station was opened there and Davis
placed in charge as the master me-
chanic. Among his employees was
one who persisted in raising trou-
Bile and abusing his overhead man.
In a fit of passion one day, Davis
killed him.
The trial which followed in St.
Johns, then county seat of the pres
ent counties OF Navajo and Apache,
was one of the most memorable in
the remarkable criminal history OF
that section of the State. All of
the attorneys connected with the
case, the judge and every one OF
the witnesses as near as can be
learned, are now dead. Davis was
convicted and sentenced to twenty
five years imprisonment. He serv-
ed about ten years in the institu
ton when pardoned during the
term of Cakes Murphy as governor
Since leaving Yuma, he has driited
about various parts of the State
for years with no home or pros
poets in view. He is today seventy
three years of age.
Then he came to Prescott. Judge
Smith in the course of procedure
required that Davis bring witnesses
to prove his qualifications for ad-
mittance TO the Pioneers Home
Davis tried but couldn't find any.
Attorney Norris name was men
toned and the unfortunate man re-
cognized it. Mr.. Norris was a prac-
ticing attorney at the time of the
trial in ST. Johns but he was not
connected with the case.
/ Realizing the futility of trying to
/ find witnesses and of the almost
impossible barrier to surmount in
the way of proving the possession
of the required character, Davis
finally abandoned his application to
enter the home.
1t was then learned that the old
man had a neice in Albuquerque
in good financial circumstances. Ac-
cordingly, he was induced to leave
for her home where, it was yes
terday learned he received a wei
come.

TEND ANNUAL TAX
CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD HERE JULY q

With public and Chamber OF Com
merce officials comprising an eff
cient and hustling arrangements
committee, a cordial reception is

assessors, State Taxpayers Associa-
ton and many others directly con-
nected with the tax conference 10

July u. While the tax men of the
State are converting in Prescott
primarily for the purpose of hand
| ling an immense amount of bust
ness on hand, the local hosts with
true characteristic Prescotto man
hospitality desire to leave nothing
undone to assure the visitors an
enjoyable time.
There will be representatives he:e
of almost every city in the State.
The attendance of members of every
supervisors board is mandatory

walton in the fact that the State
Taxpayers Association will have its
"own" day at the session. This
organization was recently formed
with large and influential mem
bership and a big delegation will
be on hand.
1t is conceded that the session
will last at least a full week. Last
year it was held i'll Phoenix when
every delegate present voted unani-
mously to transfer the meeting to
Prescott.
Assessor Tom Campbell afScd the
Chamber of Commerce at meet
ing Thursday night 20 receive the
city's guests in the true spirit OF
Prescottonian hospitality. He point
cd out that Prescott could without
doubt be made the annual meet
ing place of the conference.
After explaining the nature OF the
conference and offering several sug-
gestions. he proposed that COM
mittee be appointed to take the mat
ter in hand Further discussion de-
veloped that a Thursday afternoon
program would be the most desir-
able.
The tentative program calls Tor
a dinner, auto ride around the in
ner loop and smoker at the Yavapai
Club during a several hour period
Thursday afternoon and evening.
The Prescott Auto Club will be call
ed upon to furnish the machines
while an arrangement committee
will work out all the little details
in connection with the program.
