HOPE ABANDONED
FOR HEYMAN'S RECOVERY
(From Saturdays Daily)

NFIOlll SdIuludy DdllJ.J
Gus Hcyman. one of the best
known commercial travellers to visit
this city, according to adviccs re-
ceived yesterday from San Fran
cisco. is so seriously i'll again that
all hope of his recovery has been
abandoned.
He is afflicted with a recurrence
of an attack OF appendicitis, and a
few days ago was suddenly stricken
in Phoenix. 1t was deemed advis-
able to take him to the home OF his
sister, and since then his condition
has not improved. He was operated
upon at FL Paso about one year
ago. and later pneumonia developed.
\ few months ago he paid this city
brief business trip. when he COM
planned OF failing health.
Heyman is one OF the first COM
mercial men alive to come into
Arizona as long ago as 1877. He
is of a charitable disposition and
enjoys splendid name from one
end to the other OF the State. One
of his beautiful practices every
Christmas was to send to every hos
pital in Arizona floral remembrances
for those who were i'll. and at
every county poor farm the unfor
tunate were likewise remembered in
a substantial manner.

SOUTHERN END OF
COUNTY IS JUBILANT
(From Thursdays DailyO

(From Thursdays Daily.)
Southern Yavapai county, accord
ing to the report made yesterday
by Deputy Assessor Stephens, is in
the finest condition from a range
standpoint known in many years.
The rains of January proved bene-
fetal in stimulating the growth OF
range feed. and the finishing touches
now going on in a recurrence of the
storms insure a return to conditions
that prevailed in the olden days.
At the various camps on the des-
ert where thousands OF sheep are
wintering, there is noticeable very
much rejoicing among the many
owners, and the losses will be incon-
sequential compared to former
years. Shearing is going on at
Beatdsley, Hot Springs Junction
and Congress Junction. with the
animals in far better form than at
this time a year ago. The rains are
tempered with warm weather, an
other favorable and unknown con-
dition for this time of the season.
Cattlemen also are happy and
their range holdings are equally
benefited. Mining is moving up
ward and particularly SO in the
Constellation field in Tiptop district
and other localities near the Mari
copa line.

3-FOOT BODY
Of ORE STRUCK
REPORT COMES THROUGH
MINER OF IMPORTANT
FIND AT BIG PINE
HOLDINGS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

From a reliable source it was
learned yesterday that a very I'M
por.ant strike has been made in the
Big Pine mines of the Hassayampa
district, the actual values not being
known, but the indications being
that it is without doubt one OF the
most noteworthy that has ever been
known in that field.
According to the statement made
by miner. and not the owners, a
three foot body of ore had been
exposed in the face of the main
tunnel being driven TO the south
which showed wire silver freely in
evidence and with which was iasso-
GATED what appeared to be a high
grade gold zone. in an ore body OF
all oridized condition. The Big Pine
is said to be under option of sale.
and quite a large line of development
is going on at the present time to
make determinations before the
property changes hands.

VOTE ON $4,000 BOND
ISSUE AT MAYER
(From Thursdays Daily.)

NfrOm lnuTSQdy Ddliyj
With the approach of the special
school bond election, interest in the
probable fate of the proposed Sl0.-
600 bond issue at Mayer is running
high. Thus far, the sentiment at
the little mining burg has been en-
tirely in favor of the issue and
unless a sudden reversal of opinion
becomes apparent at the eleventh
hour, the new schoolhouse for May
CT is assured.
The electors will be called to the
polls next Thursday. February 20.
The present school structure has
outlived its usefulness in Mayer, but
at the same time were not opti-
mists drawing upon their store OF
good cheer predominant in the
town. the school election would not
even be called. In short. the cleo
ton is primarily called with the
object in view OF accommodating
an expected increase i'll population.
Mayer believes it will soon get
that new 100000 reduction plant
and a general revival in mining as a
direct result.
Ash Fork. too. is figuring upon
special election for a 5000 bond
issue. At an election held nearly
a year ago. the issue was voted. but
the action taken at the election was
afterwards at the request OF the
school trustees, rcscinded. Ash Fork
is badly in need OF new structure.
it is declared. The school board OF
trustees of that district will shortly
call the election.

WOMAN IS ADEPT
AT BORROWING MONEY
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(trom thursdays Dally)
DIR. Thacker. the woman mine
operator of Big Bug district, is in
the limelight of the courts of Los
Angeles.
According to the Los Angeles
Times, the trial Of the case OF
Stadie against this woman. where
in the man was given judgment for
$500 developed the dips, spurs and
angles of the financial questions in
volved. The testimony revealed the
fact that Mrs. Thacker appealed to
two sisters for financial aid, the
Misses Susan and Sophia Goodwin.
who owned a home on Monmouth
avenue. She induced them. accord
ing to their testimony, TO deed this
property over to her in order that
she could pledge it for as much
as she could raise. At that time
Mrs. Thacker told them OF $1,000
600 that was to come to her from
an English estate, at the same time
assuring the Goodwin girls that a
little bit more OF development on
the Arizona mines would enrich
them all
To protect them she executed a
contract that was not to be record
ed. by which she would return the
property to the Goodwins within
two years The Goodwins have had
possession OF the property ever
since and it was this fact that
brought them into court to dispute
the Stable mortgage Stadie, it was
proven was induced to lend Mrs
Thacker the sum of S4,500. Subse-
uuently Mrs. Thacker sold the
Goodwin property to X. Lundeen to
discharge a loan obtained of him to
help her mining work. Believing
his title good Lundeen sold the
house and lot TO a man named
Spogren. and the latter then got rio
OF his deal by slipping it over TO =
person by the name of Maloney
The latter held title for a short
time. when 1. w. Mulholland tool;
a whirl at the investment. When
Stadle sought payment OF his mort
gage he found the above array OF
disputing ownership, but with only
Mulholland standing pat to make tho
final stand against the mortgagec
and the Goodwin sisters. Here the
Goodwins entered the suit and con
tended that their continued adverse
possession and their contract %
tectcd them.
The decision OF the court showed
that Mulholland, the last purchaser,
had won, and that the Goodwin
sisters and Ludeen had lost, and
that the beneficiary of the entire
transaction was Mrs. Thacker and
her Arizona mine, the Logos. II
is now up 10 Mulholland TO buy
tine Goodwin home or suffer the
loss of considerable money. Other
litigation affecting Mrs. Thackcr and
her mining ventures is on the calen-
dar Of the courts in the California

10 NEW CITIZENS TAKE
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily)
Seldom, if ever before, was a
brighter or more intelligent batch OF
applicants for naturalization papers,
examined in the local superior
court. Out of eighteen applicants
who took the examination Thurs
day thirteen were sworn in as cit
liens of the United States. The
other five applicants were forced to
forego the pleasure at this time be-
cause of technical errors in their
prior course OF procedure. Not one
single failure was recorded.
The examination of such appli-
cants is usually an occasion looked
forward to with relish by the humor
ously inclined. But Thursdays ex-
animation was, with the exception
of one or two instances. a rather
solemn affair. As a whole, the APP
plicants answered all questions in
diligently and without hesitation.
The questions put by Judge Smith
were by no means of the simpler
variety and would have taxed the
brain of the ordinary high school
student.
The faces of Judge Frank o.
Smith and Court Clerk Patrick Far
ley were wreathed in smiles for an
instant during the afternoon session
when a real laughablc breach of
court order occurred.
John G. Simpson, who IS Il pic
turesque figure in Yavapai county,
was the witness for one of the ap-
plicants for naturalization papers.
Knowing Johns peculiarities, Judge
Smith invited him early in the morn
ing to testify.
Simpson wasn't seen until about 2
o'clock when he strutted into the
courtroom as Judge Smith was ex-
aiming another witness and Mr..
Farley was just about to begin
swearing in a successful applicant.
Court in session, Judge?" asked
Simpson.
YES" said the judge somewhat
annoyed.
All right answered Simpson, and
with that he turned toward Mr. Far
ley and blurted out: Say Pat. will
you go to the show tonight
No" said the invited guest after
he had recovered from his surprise.
"All right" said Simpson and
turning upon his heel he strutted
out OF the room, looking somewhat
disappointed.
A round OF laughter was caused
during the morning session when
Judge Smith was examining the
brother OF Timothy Joseph Con-
molly, an applicant for papers.
How long have you known
your BROTHER asked the judge in
matter-of-fact way.
"All my life l believe responded
Connolly.
/ Generally, foreigners make every
effort to change their names to
simpler form and pronunciation.
Not so in the case of the applicant
who when he was examined de
clared he wanted 10 be straight
ened out and had his name changed
from Anton Kurzoxitz to Anto Ku-
kuruzovic
Judge Smith conducted the exam
nation of the applicants and wit
nesses throughout. The citizens
were congratulated upon all sides.

FOUL MURDER OF
A BRITISH SUBJECT

Ell PASO. Feb. 2.-William s.
Benton. a Scotchman and a subject
of Great Britain, is dead.
His death was confirmed by Gen
eral Villa and conveyed to his wild

American consul at Juarez.
Benton was a big ranch owner III
Mexico. Consul Edwards said that
Villa had confirmed the report OF
the death but asked him not to make
any details public except in his OF
fetal dispatches to his government.
Benton was executed on Tuesday
night after a trial by a military
court in Juarez OF which Federico
Gonzales Cara was head.
According to what appears to be
the correct version OF the affair,
charge was made that Benton was
implicated in a plot to take Villas

Benton was last seen alive in
yuarez on Tuesday morning. lie
was making his way to Villas
home. and said he was going to
tell Villa what he thought of him"
for the manner in which his ranch in
Western chihuahua had been looted
by Rebel soldiers.
Instructions were sent by the
State Department yesterday to Con-
sui Edwards, it is reported, to see
that no harm should come to Ben

sent upon request OF the British am
bassador. The warning now appears
to have come too late.
