 KELLUM IS DROPPED
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 By request of the county attorney the case against Jess Kellum, who was road foreman for County Road Superintendent Clark has been dis missed. Both Clark and Kellum were arraigncd before Justice of the Peace Charles H. McLanc on complaint charging conspiracy to defraud the county.

 Following arraignment, Kellam was released under S20O0 bond. Conhning the prosecution solely to Clark, who was recognized as hay ing sole charge of the boarding house venture, the prosecution dccid- ed to drop the case against Kellam.

REPUBLICANS AND PRO-
 GRESSIVES MAY UNITE

PHOENIX, Sept. 1S.-The pro gressives and republicans are about to agree on a consolidated state ticket. The prOgressives have ap- pointed a committee consisting of Dwight B. Heard. Geo. B. Wilcox, J. E. Alexander and P. II. Hayes to confer with the republicans to this end. The plan is to have some of the republicans withdraw and re- place them with progressives and have both parties support the ticket. J. L. Hubbell. republican nominee for the senate is willing to with draw in favor of Jos. H. Kibbey, while Mir. Nelson, the progressive nominee for United States senator IS to be taken care of by the repub- licans with a nomination for an other office. The only obstacle is Mayor George U. Young of Phoe- nix who does not want to withdraw unless Ralph Cameron withdraws. However, progressives hope to in duce him to act for what they con- slider the best and insure the defeat of the Hunt machine at the polls. They are assuring Mayor Young that such course will strengthen him with all classes and put him in line for future favors of a political nature.

There Mohave, with its heavy expenditure, is clos ing the gap in the Old Trails route. which strip, when completed, will be linked to the well built roads in Coconino county, giving an un- broken chain from the Colorado river on the West to the Little Col orado on the cast. over 200 miles in length. Mir. Johns says that there IS not the slightest abate- ment in the zeal of Mohave or other northern counties to build at any cost the main artery.

FIVE TRAINS TO CARRY
 CARGO OF FREIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. lS.- The largest cargo of merchandise that ever entered the harbor of San Francisco arrived from China and Japan on the Pacific Mail liner Man. churia today (Thursday, Sept. ID and by morning will be speeding eastward in bond to New York on five special Southern Pacific trains The cargo consists of 20 tons oi raw silk and silk pieces. and 270C tons of tea, mating and other Ori- cnta. merchandise; the total ship ment requiring over l65 cars, Is oi which are of an especially construct cd design to meet the requirements of the silk
 For a week, the Southern Pacific has been obtaining every available car Of the highest type of equipment in the neighborhood or San Fran cisco. These have been lined up near the Pacific Mail dock, with several switch engines assigned to the duty of handling them prepara- tory to the departure of the trains on'the transcontincntal.
 Special train and freight handling crews have likewise been held in readiness. The silk goes first on its own special-tonight The remain ing 2700 tons of merchandise will follow in other specials as rapidly as it can be assembled into trains
 Freight handlers will work day and night until the entire cargo is out of the port. the company cndeavoring to establish a time re- cord for the transcontinental run in view of the perishablc nature oi most of the merchandise. While the Southern Pacific excrts every effort to handle all shipments ir the best possible time, there is an other reason for its activity in this case. It is trying to make San Francisco the main point for the routing of Oriental freight destined to the East. Great Britain has bar red the vessels of belligercnt nations from the use of the Suez canal. and this means that the great bulk oi Oriental merchandise consigned tc New York and other eastern point: must come to the Pacific coast, here 10 be unloaded and re-shipped by rail. In this connection. the South crn Pacific and the Pacific Mai want to make San Francisco "Thc Trans Shipment Point"

 Road Foreman J. R. Lowry com ccntrated the work of his road crew yesterday on the Lynx creek hill, and the widening of the grade on both approaches to the bed of the creek is the intention. Travellers in and out of Prescott will ap- preciate this action. Several acci- dents have been averted on this stretch of road only through carer ful driving, and for many months complaints have been heard of teams and autos meeting at certain places where trouble was encountered in trying to pass each other. While this work is being performed the old route will be used which was made passable a few days ago by being repaired. During the past month two teams and three autos have met with accidents, but for tunatcly the most serious injury was to a teamster who had his left arm broken when his horses became frightened, throwing the driver and wagon into the gulch below a few hundred feet.

TO DEMAND THE WITH
 DRAWAL OF JONES
(From Fridav's Dailv.l

NIlOll TIludy DdhJ.J
 PHOENIX, Sept 17-When the democratic party council meets in session at the state capitol Tues day, September 29, Corporation Com missioners w. P. Geary and A. w. Cole will demand that Commissioner r. A. Jones withdraw from the ticket.
 Treachery to the party will be charged against Jones. It will be alleged that when he announced to the directors of the Maricopa Coun- ty Commercial club that he would not serve again on the commission as at present constituted, Jones weakened the entire ticket.
 Jones did make that statement to the directors. He said that if he was elected with Geary and Cole he would resign. Now the Commercial club and similar organizations throughout the state are planning a campaign to elect Jones and, a progressive and a republican. The Commercial club, when 1t cir culated Jones petitions and had his name placed on the ballot at the democratic primaries, did not think that Cole had a chance for renomi- nation. It was not thought worth while to pick a running mate for Jones from the democratic candi- dates. It was thought certain that either Sam Bradner or Don Bab- bitt would be nominated and either would have been acceptable to Jones.
 Whether the commercial bodies could have prevented the nomination of either Cole or Geary is a ques- tion but members of the Commer- cial club think so and they say that they are going to spend all kinds of money rectifying what they regard as a grave political error.
 Thomas E. Maddock, of Williams republican candidate for the corpor- alton commission, is here comforting with the directors of the club. They expect to endorse Maddock and some Cochisc county progressive.
 Jones is in San Francisco attend ing rate hearing and rumors oi |, what Geary and Cole will do to him at the party council meeting arc flying thick and fast There is no way under which the council can force any candidate to withdraw from the ticket and it is regarded as not extremely likely that Jones will heed any demand for his resig- nation.
 Geary and Cole will point out that Jones is openly opposing his run ming mates and has announced that he will not serve with them if the three are elected. It is also whis- pered that they will charge him with removing original records from the office files.
 This latter rumor is persistent and seems to be spread as much by Jones friends as anyone else But the Jones people arc saying that if Geary and Cole know what is good for them they will try to forget all about the records in ques- ton and not force the issue.

HELPING MINERS
 POPULAR MOVE

CFrom Fridays Daily.)
 Visitors to Prescott from Mohave county state that the movement in Southern Arizona to assist the hun dreds of unemployed miners by giv- ing them work on the public high ways. will be taken up for consid- eration in the near future in Mo have county. Since the big mines of the south have curtailed their forces. Cochise county has come to the assistance of several hundred miners and they arc at present. work ing on the public roads, and will continue to do so. until noraml con ditions return and they can again secure mine employment. \ few weeks ago the Chamber of Com mcrce at Phoenix took up the ques- ton of giving the unemployed min CTS work on the Federal reserve wagon road leading to Roosevelt, and the matter is now before the proper officials at Washington. F. NJ. Murphy, of Prescott. was the first to appreciate the seriousness of the situation in this line, and per sonally started the movement by communicating with Phoenix and asking that the federal allotment to roads on its reserves be disbursed to worthy miners.
 So far as the situation in Navapai county Is concerned. it is a well known fact that more miners are today working on wagon roads than ever before.

ABSENCE OF BIDS
 FOR BOND ISSUE
(From Fridays DailyN

NIlO IlIudJ = Ddilk
 Although the time set for the op- ening of bids for the sale of the S250,000 new court house bond issue is 10 o'clock next Wednesday. not a single bid has been received from any of the big bond buying houses in the country, and it is believed that this same state of affairs will exist when the date for opening the bids arrives.
 Many of the big bond buying houses that have been more than anxious to buy in previous Yavapai bond issues, have responded to no- ticcs from the county authorities stating that the money market is such that they were not in a posi- ton to bid. This situation is di- rectly due to the European war.
 The average rate of interest in the money market is today seven per cent. The bends are only five per cent.
 Fourteen bids were received six months ago for the So5,00O issue voted for the erection of new schools in Prescott. The contrast between the condition of the money market then and today is notable from the fact that not single bid has been received for an issue over twon and one-half times as large as the school bonds.
 Officials concede, however, that there is small chance of a holdup in the plans to build the new court house. It Is believed that the local banks will come to the rescue and buy the issue.

 George Gatung, of Gallup, N.

He was re- turning to the city on foot and when he reached the head of Gov crnment canyon to the east picked up the yellow stuff, much to his surprise. Gatung says he was sit ting down under a juniper tree, and the idea never occurred to him to do any prospecting. The nugget was lying about six feet away, and had lodged against a buolder, evi- dently having been washed out by the big rains. Gatung devoted two days in looking for the ledge, but was not successful. That section in carly days was thoroughly prospect ed, after rich float was picked up in the ravine, but as yet the mine has failed to materializc that is suppos- ed to have been the source. nc mug get valued at $7O was found there many years ago, and others of lesser value have been found since Miners have been "stakcd" to hundreds of dollars to prospect that region, but as yet the paystreak has been lean one
