Fitting in the balance of uncer- tainty for many months, and anxi- ously speculating on the fate of a silent policy Of the executive. Judge P. S. Wren is very happy mortal, landing the promised plum yester- day as the future superintendent of the Pioneers Home in this city. He arrived from Constellation on the af- ternoon train, and immediately hit the trail for the hill, took up the cudgel, and started his career as superintendent.
 This institution has been passing through an ordeal of flip the penny management. It is hoped that it will now settle down to a basis of solid comfort.
 The building of the annex to the home is the next move to be made, and the executive is the authority for stating that the Parsons be- quest of S40,00O will be used up i'm mediately, for caring for the women pioneers Of Arizona, as was stipu- lated in the will left by the generous Hassayampa

 of the death in Africa of E1bridge
 c. Decker who was widely known
 throughout the State. He was shot
 to death by natives in the African
 wilds in June. The information came Tn a report from the leader of a band of engineers prospecting for a mining company in the African diamond fields, of which Mir. Decker was a member. The report states that the natives made the attack on the engineers without provoca- tion or the slightest warning.

When the latter fell, nor tally wounded, Newport made heroic effort to get him to place of con cealment Both men were armed with revolvers but the attack was so unexpected that they were pow erless to offer much opposition. Newport, supporting the almost life less body of Decker, held the natives at bay with his pistol while retreat ing toward a nearby river into which he plunged with his burden. The swept the dying man from his arms. Newport dived and after passing through two dangerous rap ids, escaped. After spending the night in the jungle he made search Tor Decker's body but it was never Newport later found the other members of the engineering | party who summoned soldiers to .he scene.

Columns are reserved to the Re publican, Progressive, Democratic, Prohibitionist, Socialist and non partisan parties. Each column should reach about farce or four feet in length.

STRIKE IN LITTLE
 DAISY GROWS BIGGER
(From Sundays DaiIy)


 | Robert Birch and John Lindell returned Friday night from Jerome, and confirm reports in circulation tof exploration in the Little Daisy as occasioning very much comment. The strike of native copper ore in large bodies is bonafde. This con dition was cut into on the 1000 foot level in a crosscut being driven According to statements made, 1t is without a parallel in that field as to tonnage values, pieces of malleable copper showing the wonderful min eralogical formation developed. It was also stated by miners that the ore body penetrated has not been passed through, and a sulphide ore it Is believed will be determined with another 100 feet of sinking. Indications to this effect, are al ready coming in, and it is the cur rent belief of those conversant with mining that counterpart of the United Verde is practically proved. During the trip Mrs. Lindell and Mrs. Birch accompanied their hus- bands.

INSPECTOR DETERMINED
 ON COURSE
DR. MESERVE WILL COME QUIETLY THE NEXT TIME; GIVES OWNERS WARNING
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

When State Chemist and Bacter-
 iologist Dr. Meserve again comes to
 Prescott to inspect the dairies, he
 will do so on the quiet. Dr. Meserve IS playing fair, however, with all
 dairymen and he proposes to keep on doing so but the milk dealers must comply with his requirements for insuring sanitary dairies or sui fer the consequences.
 During the course of an inspec- ton trip throughout the State. Dr. Meserve arrived in Prescott two weeks ago. He examined all of the dairies and ice cream manufactur- ing plants. At that time, he offered no statement for publication but it was understood that he had warned a number of dairymen to improve conditions at their premises.
 Dr. Meserve left with the under standing that he would return with in the next two months unheralded and prepared to deal severely with all those who failed to heed his warning. Hence, when he comes again, it will be without notice. Milk dealers in order to safeguard against prosecution must start in to make improvements now and con tinue in order to make sure that they will not be caught unprepared.

ANOTHER HEAVY RANGE
 DEAL IS CLOSED
(From Sunday's Daily.l

One of the largest individual range deals closed in many months, was that of yesterday, whereby H. C. Miller bought from Wingart &, Fraser, approximately $50 head of cattle, valuable land grazing rights, and other desirable assets in live stock pursuits. The cattle pur- chased are known as the Triangle v" and the FEW" brands, and range in the Turkey creek country. The price paid is up to the standard of the day in this business and will run into the thousands. Mir. Miller will be favorably remembered as the principal in closing three big land deals in Skull valley, in re- cent months, and is now expanding into the bovine sphere, with the ob- ject of utilizing later his valley farm lands on which to feed his noun tain raised cattle for the market His ranch in Skull valley is being modernized for this purpose, and in due time will be extensively culti- vated for the side line industry uses above.

LARGE SLABS OF NATIVE COPPER EXCITE ADMIRA- TON, AND BIG SHOWING PROVED
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

"The strike made in the Little
 Daisy has gone into history in the
 mining field of Jerome, and big
 copper property has been incontro-
 vertibly proved" said c. w. Hull.
 who arrived in the city yesterday.
 This authority on mines and mining
 is probably better qualified to give a creditable statement of the show ing accomplished on that property than any other operator in that section, for he was on the ground before the United Verde attained its high rating, and has resided in Jerome continuously for over thirty years. He stated that slabs of na- tive copper in a malleablc condition. weighing over ten pounds, have been taken from the Little Daisy in crosscut driven for thirty feet from the l,200 foot level. and which, with the oxidized condition continuous. a very interesting mine problem has been solved. Mir. Hull also says the extent of this orc body as yet is undetermined, work being sus- pended in the crosscut that drift ing may go ahead on this magnifi- cent shoot Sinking the main shaft is to go ahead in short time and indications are that sulphide zone will sooner or later be tapped. !. At any rate" says Mir. Hull, "the | Daisy has lost its old time ear marks as a copper possibility, and s at last in the rating of mine n every sense of the word.'
 Lively transactions in stock deal ng. are also an indication that the property IS mcriting investment and many deals have been closed dur ng the past week.

 A satisfactory culmination to al parties was reached yesterday in tho Superior Court in the divorce ac. ton brought by F. L. France against his wife, Leona L. France.

Follow ing the making of this order, the plaintiff through his attorney, re quested that the action be dismiss cd without prejudice.
