noon of Monday About forty-five
 of the prospective jurors were af- lfected, these being of the venire call
 ed last week.
 Term Not Vet Ended.
 While the most important cases of the calendar of the present term were finished at the conclusion of the AL i Ian case, yet a number of cases are yet to be settled, making probable
 that the present term will continue
 throughout the coming week, at the least. Several of the civil cases yet
 to be tried are important in that
 they involve large damages requested,
 and their course will be watched with
 interest. The Baker case, involving
 grand larceny, is the only criminal
 case the trial of which during this | term is certain. Probabilities are
 that the cases against Phillips and
 McMayhan, accused of stealing live
 stock, will come before the present l term
 Supervisors Meet.
 | The county supervisors met on
 Monday, March 2, in regular session. 1 The most important action taken at this meeting was the selection of A. l.. Gravely, of Morenci, as member of the Board to succeed c. P. Dunn, resigned. The resignation of Dunn was upon the day of the selection, and had been expected for some time, he for the past several weeks having been absent at Phoenix, where he and his family now reside, and where he is engaged in the conduct of drug store.
 Mr. Gravely immediately upon his selection assumed his duties, he with Chairman Hampton and Member Campbell deciding several issues on the first day of his service. MT. Gravely is one of the pioneers of the Clifton-Morenci section, having for many years been connected with | the stores at Morenci of the Detroit | Copper and Arizona Copper com panies. For the past several years he has been superintendent of the hardware department of the Arizona Copper company's store at Morenc1. Through his residence for so long in this portion of the state, he has friends who will be pleas ed to, know of his selection as one of the administrators of the county's affairs, they realizing that no more important work is before Greenlee public officials than is that of the county supervisors, and recognizing him as a public-spirited citizen and man of affairs. His business experience, and acquaintance with the needs of the county, are con- fidently expected to be for the bene- it of all of Greenlee's people.
 At the meeting Monday the super visors awarded to the Western Metal company the contract of supplying to the county all corru- gated iron pipes necessary for the of the county's road system for the year ensuing after the award. The contract prices of this company, the lowest bidder, range rom $.S6 to ST -00, and the largest pipes included in the estimates con- ,erned with the firms offer are of he diameter of 72 inches. Following he award of the contract, Representa- J i've Welch, of the company, with County Engineer Tunis, made an in g and Clifton-Duncan roads, his being that an estimate of the ipes which will be necessary for Il hese roads immediate maintenance e made. A decision was reached to lace few sections of the pipe on he Clifton half of the Clifton Mo U enci road. No pipes will be placed n the Morenci half of this road, as r is realized that the present wooden 1lverts will be adequate for the con- II enience of traffic until the Morenci alf of the road is replaced with the te dmirable highway which the present ans of the Board contemplates as J cling constructed within the immedi- e months. The supervisors at this meeting . varded to the contracting firm of C & Black the contract for e building of an extension to the M
