GLOOMY PICTURE
 PORTRAYED OF BIG WAR

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Mrs. Bertha Jacoby, of Berlin, Ger many, writes to her son. Julius Jacoby, of this city, under recent date, and gives a vivid account of the hor- TOTS of the war and its severe rela- tions to home life. She mentions many interesting matters, and among other things says foodstuffs have reached such an outrageous price in recent months as to occasion alarm. Certain articles are practically pro hibited. even some that are rated in the common class. Another incident of the prevailing situation in that country is the intense strain and anXi- ctv that faces males who are subject to military duty, in retiring for the night or in eating their meal, to be summoned at a moments notice to bear arms on the firing line. There is no alternative. and business or oth- CT affairs must be set aside without any formality when the imperative order comes. Mrs. Jacoby states her son-in-1aw is at home, and he, also, bears the burden of mental strain in facing the uncertainty of what the future may ordain. MT. Jacoby is very much elated 10 learn from his mother that his two brothers have been spared 10 date, and though they have taken part in many big battles, neither has met with the slightest in jury. The letter received also shows the exactions of the censor, in the elimination of certain objectionable matter. l. had been opened and then resealed.

Arch members. The occasion was the triennial convocation of the Genera! Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of the United States, and in which each delegate thereto was the recipi- ent of an emblem which from senti- mental standpoint or in intrinsic value is said to be without paral- Tel in fraternal circles. The souvenir is composed of silver and gold, beau tifully moulded into an emblematic design, and has an actual value oi $20. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Nevada was the donor. and there were exactly 300 re ClplGlllS Ol llliS lOkNu Ol IT olNl lleA1 . gard In the aggregate $6,OOO was represented in this act of generosity from the small to the large organiza- ton. The design is the familiar tri- angle made of solid silver, and sus- pended therefrom is tiny chain hold ing $l0 gold nugget, to symbolizc the bimetal resources of that State. The silver was donated by John C. Kirchen, and the Tonopah Extension Mining Company, and the gold was contributed by George Wingfield and the Goldfield Consolidated Mines Company.
 Of the Arizonans who were bene- ficiarics of this graceful and generous act there ate only five, Mir. Freder- icks, of Prescott; George H. N. Luhrs; ]. ]. Sweeney, Dr. ]. N. Swet- nam, of Phoenix, and L. s. Mover, of Globe.

ELKDOMS HEADS
 DISCUSS NEW IDEAS

BISBEE, Oct. 13.-Results of i'm portance to Elkdom in Arizona may be expected 10 follow the meeting of the executive committee of the State association, which was recent ly held in this city. Definite plans for work of the year were not only outlined but steps wete taken to put them into early operation.
 Meeting of claims for damages aris- ing from alleged damage to growing crops occasioned by herds of elk from the game preserve, the bringing into the association of all lodges in the State, establishing of children's day to be observed by all of the lodges of the State, a division of the State into two districts and the appoint ment of two district deputies from the grand lodge, adoption of official State uniforms, State badges and State ban ner, a State Identification card such as lodges have, but showing mem bership in the State association, are only some of the matters which were considered.
 The matter of bringing into the as sociation Douglas.

BOOMING MINES
 MAKE GOOD TIMES

Returning yesterday from trip through cities in Southern Arizona, ]. II. Robinson, secretary of the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Con. gress, stated that Tucson, Bisbee, Douglas and Tombstone reflected the return to normal mining conditions and all were experiencing period of pronounced prosperity. Douglas, he says, is an exceptionally thrifty center, and with its live industrial en- terprises, with 4,5OO troops stationed there, it has a payrool of over $450,- GOO in circulation, the effect being to benefit all forms of business. MT Robinson also states that prepara- tions are being made in Pima coun- ty to hold the annual fair at Tue son. beginning on November 4, and ending on November 6.
 The building of the new railroad cut of Gila Bend on the Southern Pacific to tap the Ajo copper mines, A miles south, progresses and is half completed. These mines are copper, and will be operated by the C. & A. Company, of Bisbee. Mir Robinson also states there is much inquiry in the south pertaining to mining in the Yavapai and Mohave fields, in view of recent important developments in each. He is to retain the offices oi the Chapter in this city for the pres cnt. which is central to the broad field to be covered as occasion arises

BRIGHT FUTURE
 OF BRADSHAW DISTRICT
(From Thursdays Daily)

lIIOIl ' lllll SQdN . ipdllEJ
 Returning Tuesday from the War Eagle Gladiator mines after getting the camp in shape for resuming in the next few weeks, Ezra Jackson stated the awakening of the Brad shaw country has been realized al last. General activity is prevailing throughout the district, and on lines which indicate practical and perma- nent operations. The Nelson strike, he says, was the stimulating factor of the activity now manifest ed at many new camps, and the tenn per of the community is decidedly op- timistic in contrast with the uncer- tainty of short time ago. This prop crty is lively on the surface through the construction of ore bins to handle the assured yield at the three different mine points which are opened, while the electric railroad is being placed in condition for hauling the product to the station at Crown King, for shipment to the smelter. The driv- ing of the lower tunnel goes ahead, and the tonnage exposed is very heavy and of very high grade. The discovery made short time ago is expanding instead of pinching, and the grade of the ore is higher.
 Another important movement in that locality is the completion of the big reduction plant of Randolph X Gammel to treat the old tailings dump of the Crown King mill, estimated at over 10000 tons. Steam was up last Monday, and the trial run of the ma chinery will begin at once.
 The initial work of driving long tunnel through a series of well de fined .fissure-veins lying north of Crown King, and at great depth, has been inaugurated. This exploration is regarded with much interest in as well as out of that section among min ing engineers conversant with abso- 1ute conditions, it is admitted to be the forerunner for determining one of the greatest mineral divisions of the country.
 The resumption of the Saratoga. and the erecting of a new Marathon mill of 15O tons daily capacity, is another activity of the district. The Bear strike, of short time ago, the probable taking over of the Gray Eagle holdings by Nevada syndi- cate, and many other sections moving ahead. present scene that would in dicate a bright outlook for the sec ton. in view of the fact that the en- terpriscs are being conducted in a practical manner and supported by ample capital.

FALL OF TURKEY THE
 SIGN OF fl NEW ERA

PHOENIX, Oct. 13.-(SpeciaD-- The Downfall of Turkey" as the sub jcct of the discourse at the Seventh day Adventist annual camp meeting here last night, Elder F. E. Andross, of Los Angeles, being the speaker. He said, in part:
 Though Constantinople is the prize which all Europe covets, and the driving of the Turk into Asia Minor is a momentous event, it is insignificant compared with the won derful happenings of which Turkeys end is a sign. The prophet Daniel, 2,5O0 years ago, foretold the fall of the Ottoman empire as an event to take place just before the coming of Christ.
 Speaking of this Mohammedan power. the prophet said in Daniel &: A, AS and F; l, 2: 'Tidings out of the cast and out of the north shall trouble him therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his pal ace between the seas, in the glorious holy mountains, yet he shall come to his end, no one shall help him. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy (Danieps) people, and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. even 10 that same time, and at that time thy people shall be de livered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake
 "The glorious, holy mountain is Jerusalem, as other scriptures show US. It lies between the Mediterranean and Dead Seas, and there the sultan ultimately will establish his seat of government, and come to- his end, without assistance from the powers which he has enjoyed for many years.
 "When Turkey comes to its end, Christ's reign will begin. But it will not come about in the way many peo- pie suppose. A time of trouble such as never was since there was a na- ton is immediately to precede that event For 6,OOO years sin has reigned upon this earth, but for 1000 years, following Christ's coming, the entire earth will lie desolate and without in habitant. During this time the right cous will be with Christ in heaven. and at the close of that period the earth will be restored to its edenic state"

OFFICER BRANNEN

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 Lieutenant Thomas Brannen, of the Chicago police force, should be placed on the payroll of the Prescott Cham Der of Commerce, for his diligence i'll directing the afflicted to this city, This officer regained his health after serious illness during six months residence, and he attributes it solely to the health giving climate. Since returning home last spring to resume active duty, he has been guiding sev- eral friends hither who were in poor health, whenever the occasion arose. Howard Landis, of that city, stated yesterday that Mr. Brannen advised him to come to Prescott, and he is appreciative of the good results ob- tained. Another afflicted person was Mrs. Roland Duman, who was also a visitor until recently with her hus- band, and has gone to Phoenix for the winter, to return next spring. Lieutenant Brannen was a resident of Prescott over a quarter of a century ago, hence he knows a good thing, and will voluntarily boost" as the opportunity arises.

TURN DOWN DRY
 FARM ROAD PROPOSAL
(From Thursdays Daily.}

At a special meeting of the board Of supervisors yesterday it was decided not to build a road through the Gran ite Dells to the Dry Farm because it was considered not practical, and the cost to keep the road in repair would be too great. In its action the board turned down the proposition of Nancy Brothers and Company to construct the road with proper drain age for the sum of $3,100 Plans and specifications had been submitted and the company had also said that it would continue the highway from the farm to the loop for the sum of $4OO, shortening the loop by a mile or two.
 The question of building road from the loop to the farm as a branch road north of the Dells was not discussed and it is not known whether this road will be constructed by the county or not.

SELLS THE MAMMOTH
 FOR LARGE SUM
(Erom Fridays Daily.)

Mayor George U. Young of Phoe- nix, has many friends in Prescott who will be pleased to learn that he has negotiated the sale Of his Mammoth mine holdings in Pima: county, for a large sum. and that $20000 has been paid upon the purchase price. He has gone East to receive this sum, and to formally turn over the prop erty. The Mammoth was brought to its present high rating through the practical efforts alone Of the above operator, and after the property had lain idle for oyer fifteen years. It is quite probable, now that this deal is closed, Mayor Young will devote his attention to the Madizelle near and west of this city, as well as to certain attractive gold mines which he owns on the Hassayampa. While the sale was pending a few months ago, he informed Prescott friends to this ef- feet.

TRUNKS SEIZED
 WITH WHISKEY INSIDE

DOUGLAS, Oct. 1Z-Nine trunks filled with whiskey in pint bottles av- eraging from two to three cases of liquor to the trunk, were seized at the local depot Friday and yesterday by the city and county officers. work ing in conjunction. The ownership of the liquor has not been established, although the officers are working hard on the case.
 The seizure was made in install ments. Two trunks were seized Fri day morning, three Friday night and four yesterday morning The trunks were checked through from Fl Paso. The officers watched the depot close " all day Friday and yesterday, but the fact that the seizure had been made was too well known and no one appeared to claim the liquor.
 It is claimed that the persons ship ping the trunks from Fl Paso arc working the same game which was recently stopped in Los Angeles. They go to the depot and purchase a ticket for Douglas and have trunk checked through. They miss the train purpose1y and then appear at the com pany offices, stating that they have fOund themselves unable to make the trip and demand a refund on the tick ct. Unless worked too often this game can be carried on indefinitely. Again the trunk is checked through and the check and key mailed to the local dispenser.
 Another method, it is stated. is for one confederate to check the trunk, giving the ticket and check to a sec ond man, who makes the trip through and delivers the check to the local bootleggers, who have draymen call for the trunks and deliver them. It is alleged that they have spies meet ing each train, and if anything show ing the officers to be on the alert should develop, the men on the local end receive warning and do not ap- pear.
 The trunks were delivered to the officers on their receipting for them and are now safely under lock and key. The breakage of some of the bottles in one trunk caused the seiz- ures to be made, it is stated. Al though an attempt had been made to pack the bottles securely, the rough handling received by the average trunk en route is too much for glass ware. and some bottles are quite like lv to be broken in each trunkful.

SAVING SINNERS BY -
 THE BURRO ROUTE
(From Thursdays Daily!9


 Jim Swanson continues to trek along the coast punching his burro, drawing a two-wheeled cart, and breaches the gospel in an earnest en- deavor to save souls. This advocate of his own religious cult, conceived the ingenious ruse that he would dup licate early Christian practices by i'm pressing the proverbial animal to ply his proselyting, but seems to have met with little response from the so- called benighted element. He is a well known Hassayamper, and for over third of century had worked the formation from the grass roots 10 bedrock for placer dust, and saved up a few hundred dollars, somewhat of an exceptional showing to be ac- complished in that vocation. Swan son was grounded in an early day in a training in religious work, and true to his hereditary influences branched cut strong and fearlessly as mature years rolled on. He left this city with the wild elation of success facing his sacred pilgrimage, and the San Fran cisco exposition was his mecca for the dispcnsation Of divine inspira- ton. He secured a jeanette and its offspring, and with his uniquely built cart. left Prescott with the first stat ed sermon to be delivered on the shakv crags that dot the rim of the Grand Canyon at Fl Tovar. His the ologica1 dope did not take well for a starter. but he was not dismayed. Taking the trail back to the main line of the Santa Fe railroad, he con tinued on and on, and finally reached his haven. There was chilly echo to his theological application in San Francisco, and he tired of the game, only to resist in hitting the high places with his infallible will power. Swanson has been heard from by a Prescott friend, and last week was at Placerville, Calf. Whether he will again go into camp in familiar min era1 environment he knew so well in this sphere, or will continue to clean ID the religious dust, was not impart-
 ed in the letter written. Swanson in timated. however, that his buckskin sack was getting light, and that the banning of thinned skinned human souls was not as remuerative as 1t should be. He has hiked to date 1875 long and weary miles on his
 novel crusade He is over 70 years old.
