society were built on such a basis
that instead of a woman always pro-

ARIZONA'S ARENA COMES;
RACE TRACK GOES
(From Fridays Daily)


The passing of the old race track
and its transformation into a scene
that has all the quaint appearance
of hugh hippodrome, may appro-
priately be applied to the local turf
center OF days gone by.
Yesterday the work of shifting the
past into the background had made
such Roadway as to give clear
outline OF the uses this place will al
ford in the future i'll events OF skill
and daring for man and beast. The
banks have been cut away, while
the half-mile track has been re-
graded and made inviting for any
character of sports that may be
pulled off. One Of the splendid fea-
lures OF the arena OF the future is
that an unobstructed view may be
obtained from any point where the
people may congregate. The railing
around the track has been removed
also, and with the fills made and
the cuts in the formation, the stage
is ready for Frontier Day festivi-
ties to accommodate scores of at
fractions with the actors in full view
of the audience every moment.

work for the Northern Arizona Fair
Association. and expects to turn

JEROME, April 2S.-The follow
ing is the report of the visiting
nurse of Jerome for the months OF
March and April. During April the
nurse was off duty because of i'll
ness for one week
During the months of March she
inspected the greater part of the
Mexican quarters and found condi-
tons deplorable, especially the sew
erage, and reports the dwelling
houses most unsanitary. The homes
in the gulch were also inspected
and found free of contagious dis
eases.
From nine until twelve o'clock
each school day is spent in the
schools examining the children pre-
cautionary to contagious and in
fictitious diseases, including defects
of the eyes, ears and nose.
She was on six cases with DIR.
Riley Shrum during March. and
gave first aid to eight families in
circumstances which did not permit
of an attending physician. Ten OF
these cases were among the Spanish
people.
During April advice and first aid
calls were made on twenty fami-
lies. Eight calls were for DR..
Shrum, sixteen calls for DR.. Muir
rieta and three were were for DR..
Carlson.
She was on duty for an emer-
gency case for DR.. Shrum at the
hospital all night on April 10.
The daily reports of the Visiting
Nurse are filed by her in the Sup

HISTORIC CENTER OF
ARIZONA IS BEHELD
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

lfrOm wednesday Dahy.J
Memories of fifty years ago in
Prescott, when the guhernatorial
mansion was being constructed
were recalled Monday afternoon
when the old logs were again ex-
posed in the work of giving that
historic site touch of the modern

The work going on by f. H. Car
penter, to rearrange the inside oil
the old log house, around which
clusters the day of so long ago
when the place was used as the first
executive quarters of the Territory,
shows the hewn timbers in position
and as plumb today as half cen
fury ago. The mud chink between
the huge logs is still intact, and not
withstanding the crude effort of the
mason of that day, the cementine
remains undisturbed. The old man.
sion many years ago was trans
formed into a residence, when il
lost its familiar aspect by being
clothed in a weatherboard shelter
Many of the old logs are being cut
away, which has brought on the
ground a score of relic hunters to
chip off the block a souvenir OF
what was. The only living per-
son in Prescott who helped erect
this structure is Dan HAITI. He had
a sub-contract. and without any

death yesterday is considered no.
thing short of miracle by his fell
low workmen and others who saw
pass through his body an electrical
voltage which could have killed a
dozen men.
The man, whose name could not
be learned at the local Office OF the
irrigation company yesterday, was
carrying some water pipe to be
deposited in the line leading from
the city water main which runs
through the camp.
Just as he reached his destina-
ton, he commenced TO lower the
length of pipe from his shoulder.
As he settled one end upon the
ground, the other went clear into
the air becoming antangled in a
mesh of electric wires.
For a moment sparks were seen
and the man stood as erect as a
statue. The mere fact that one end
OF the pipe was firmly planted into
the ground thus carrying on the
current, was the only thing which
saved his life. His hands were
badly blistered.

PLACER DIGGINGS ON
LYNX CREEK REVIVED
(From Fridays Daily)

Major A. ]. Doran, of Walker,
who is in the city, stated yesterday
that the reviving Of the placer min
ing industry along Lynx creek was
assuming very much interest, and it
was estimated that over fifty in
dividuals were engaged in this in
dustry at the present time.
The awakening is the result of
miners of small means trying to
get ready money and from lack Of
capital to follow quartz pursuits. AT
some camps virgin ground is be
ing worked. but in the majority OF
cases, old dumps are being sluiced
over again with fair returns. Pros
pecting for new channels also goes
ahead, and in one instance, that OF
John Berry, a nugget weighing over
SIS was washed out with consider
able coarse dust also. Lynx creek
has an authentic record OF yielding
over S2,OOO,OOO in its placer output
from the days of the advent of the
Walker party in 1868 to the present
time. With water. it is believed to
be still capable OF giving good re-
turns, in localities that have never
been disturbed.
Major Doran also states that in
quartz operations more mines are
producing than in many years, and
investors are coming in to make
examinations. The Eureka begins
shipping to Douglas smelters OF the
Copper Queen in a few days, the
Poorman of s. L. Duncan is ready
to get in the producing class, while
a half dozen individual claims are
also yielding.

ANDERSON TAKES OVER
R. A. M. MINES
(From Fridays Daily.)

One of the most important mining
deals closed in this city in many
months was that announced yester-
day, whereby the R. A. NJ. group,
owned by Sidney Birch, was acquir-
ed for a large sum by F. NJ. An
derson and associates of Iowa.
Mr.. Anderson has been a resi-
dent of Prescott for over a year,
making observations in this field,
and conducting a minute inspection
of the above holdings before clos
ing the transaction.
The property is to be explored
on a large scale and the closing
of the first contract in sbsft sink
ing to a depth of seventy feet was
awarded to Frank Clinesmith. The
latter left yesterday with crew
of miners to establish a camp and
begin development. After this con-
tract Is finished the driving of a
tunnel to penetrate ground under
the old shaft that produced high
grade gold ores years ago, will be
the next move. The X. A. NJ. I'M
der former owners yielded hand
somely, several shipments being
made outside the State. The belt
in which it is located, is attracting
attention in gold mining, the Billy

WAR ALTERATION ---------
LEADS TO SHOOTING
(From Fridays Daily

NIiOAi IAfQdJ , 0dllIJ
Yavapai county's interest in the
near-Mexican war suddenly shifted
from the south to the north early
yesterday morning when Ray Fer
70 was shot directly above the right
side of the collar bone and close to
the neck following a brawl in Pat
Costello's Ash Fork saloon which
was the direct result of an alterca-
ton over the Mexican and Ameri-
can difficulties. Burrell Horigan is
held for the shooting.
While the. details of the shooting
are decidedly meagre. this fact is
Cue to the unwillingness of the eye
witnesses to tell their tales. The
four white men in the place at the
time, OF course, evince a tendency
not to cast any light upon the
shooting while the companions of
the wounded Mexican aver that not
only were they insulted but injury
was heaped upon insult
According to the investigation
conducted by Deputy Sheriff Fred
Bartlc:.:. Of Ash Fork, Fierro was
armed with a long, wi-1ed-looking
knife. When John Cummings, the
bartender and Tom Foley, a by
stander sighted the weapon, vivid
scenes of Mexican warfare were
portrayed in their minds. In less
time than it takes to tell, the 'trou-
bic maker" was in their possession.
Nothing happened for the next
twenty minutes and according to
Cummings, he doesn't even know
who fred the shot. Cummings was
heading for a back room when he
suddenly heard shot. He wheel
ed and found the Mexican upon the
floor.
There is no danger of the wound
proving fatal. The bullet was
steel-jacket and from a twenty-five
calibre gun. Fierro was brought
in on yesterdays afternoon train
and taken to the hospital.
Deputy Sheriff Bartlett accompa-
MED the injured man and had also
in charge Horigan whom he turned
over at the county Jail Horigan
denies any knowledge of the crime
although an automatic gun with one
bullet discharged was found in his
room after a search yesterday
morning.
After the shooting occurred, an
effort was made to hush matters up.
Nothing leaked out until, Fierro's
negro wife awakened Justice Of the
Peace Sheively shortly after 6
O'Clock yesterday morning and told
him of the affair. Deputy Sheriff
Fred Bartlett was accordingly noti-
fed, Fierrc questioned and the 9TH
err eyewitness rounded up. Hori-
gan is a bartender by vocation, in

NOTED NOVELIST COM
MENDS u. S. POSITION

LONDON, April 29.-Sir Gilbert
Parker the noted novelist and one
of the best informed men in parlia-
ment says that the initial provoca-
tons offered by Huerta's officers to
the United States was so premedi-
tated and calculated that any self
respecting nation would be COM
PEELED to demand satisfaction.
This is not alone an American
question. 1t is a world question.
though the United States must set
tie it. The offense offered to the
United States might easily have been
offered to a European nation i'll diff
ferent form and the situation thus
created would have been infinitely
more difficult of adjustment and set
Element than this one.
The United States was bound to
exact from Huerta, temporary ruler
OF Mexico, an apology adequate to
the offense. The United States has
behaved in the whole business with
exemplary patience, but it has done
at last what it always does when
driven too far. 1t acts with sharp
and resistless decision.
One thing is certain The whole
Anglo-Saxon world will approve the
course taken by President Wilson in
enforcing his and the nations proper
demand. The national honor of the
United States necessitated full and
adequate apology. The simplest form
is that Of saluting the flag which has
been insulted.
What the result will be needs d
real prophet to declare, and real
prophets ar5 scarce in the twentieth
century.
1t means that the United States
must undertake the subjugation OF
Mexico in order to secure law, order
pacifcation and constitutional free
dom for its people the country will
be engaged upon vast enterprise
the end OF which no man can see.
Ninety per cent of the inhabitants
OF Mexico are mixed negro, native
and Spanish blood. Not more than
5 per cent have any real education
and there is no constitutional free
dom or liberty in the land and never
has been.
The only government that ever
succeeded was a dictatorship. and
Mexico has a long way to go before
it reaches the ordinary constitution
al position Of any modern, civilized
country. No successful war could
accomplish that Immediately.

The chief value of having the boys
