BROOKLYN MINES
 PREPARING TO START UP
(From Fridays Daily.)


 From trustworthy sources yester- day it was learned that the Brooklyn Arizona Mining Company, is under going an entire readjHstment of it's affairs, which in a short time will be consummated.
 The holdings are situated on Cop per creek, east of Mayer about twen- ty miles. and the move to resume is due to litigation being closed up, and in which an entirely new organization will be in charge with ample finances for carrying out an extensive system of deep exploration. A close corpo- ration Of Boston capitalists, it is also learned, will assume control, and none of the former officers will be associ- ated with the future of this copper undertaking.
 This movement is another note worthy indication of the possibilities of mines on which limited develop ment was formerly given. So far as surface conditions on the Brooklyn would indicate, engineers who have recently made observation, ard exam ined old underground workings, have recommended further exploration to great depth The belt on which is To- cated the big group, is attracting at tention, two old mines having re sumed recently within a few miles of the camp. Copper mines are assum ing a decidedly healthy outlook among capitalists, and the Brooklyn will be the tenth to wheel into the line of activity in this field since the first of December.

PACIFIC COPPER
 PASSES INTO NEW HANDS
(From Fridays Daily)

NEIOHl IIludy Ddlly)
 In the sale conducted yesterday of certain holdings of the Pacific Copper Mining Co.,, under a receivership pro ceeding by w. V. DeCamp, the prop erty was purchased by E. J. Mitchell, of the law firm of Norris & Mitchell, of this city.
 It was stated that later Mitchell will transfer his holdings to Kansas City capitalists, when the affairs of this company will be placed in per manent hands.
 This transaction is believed to be the forerunner of early resumption of development, in which the original plans partially carried out, will be continued. The Pacific is situated on the eastern slope of Silver mountain, near Harrington. Several thousand dollars had been outlayed, when it is stated differences arose among those interested, and the camp was shut down to undergo legal proceedings to arrive at an adjustment.

RICH STRIKE IS MADE
 IN LITTLE DAISY
(From Fridays Daily.)

NElOIl liuhy . CdllJ.J
 News of new strike in the Little Daisy mine, officially known as tho United Verde Extension Mining Com pany, stirred up considerable excite ment here among local stockholders. The strike was on the new 1400-foot level that is being driven to tap the big ore body that was found on the 1900 level, and the discovery was un- expected as it was figured that con siderably more drifting would be necessary. The vein encountered yesterday carries two feet of rich copper ore and is distinct from the main body.
 As a result of the strike there was quite trading furry ill the stock, one holder from Jerome refusing an offer of $290, and several parcels changing hands at $25O and $2.75. Only three weeks ago, the market price was g.
 For several weeks past the mine has been paying all expenses from ore shipped in sacks to the United Verde smelter, and General Manager Douglas recently stated that he did not believe it would be necessary to sell any more of the treasury stock for prosecuting development work, as had been planned,

HUNT TO IGNORE
 THE NEW BOARD OF
 PARDON AND PAROLE
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

tfTOul FI1udJ OdilJ'J r Governor Hunt has declafed over his own signature that he does not in tend to officially recognize the exist ence of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, created through the referen- dunn at the last election by the peo- pie. He bases his action on the ground that the bill is in conflict with the constitution, which confers upon him the prerogative of pardOning and paroling, and until the Supreme court declares he is wrong in his iuterpre- tation of the law, he will continue to be of the mind that he is the whole thing when it comes to dealing with this subject.
 The controversy, if such it can be designated, grows out of the whole sale reprieving of murderers at the Florence penitentiary and the refusal of the chief executive to connect their necks with pieces of hemp, in accord ance with the decrees of juries and courts of the state. The situation grew SO bad that the last legislature passed law shorning him of the pow CT of pardoning, paroling and repriev ing and vested the right in board of pardons, reprieves and paroles, consisting of the attorney general. superintendent of public instruction and a citizen member to be selected by the two. The measure was re- ferred, due to the efforts of Hunt and his friends, but 1t was carried at the last general election. Before the board formally organized the date oc- cured for the execution of one of the murderers. Warden Sims, however. did not carry out the decree, giving as a reason that the prisoner had no opportunity to present his plea for clemency to the new board. The out come of this high-handed action on the part of the warden was the reso- lution lately introduced in the senate of the legislature by Morris Gold water of Yavapai, providing for an investigation of the conduct of state officers. The resolution was adopted by the senate but it has no more chance of getting through the lower house, where Hunt has effected a strong combination, than a gasoline cat would have of traversing the in fernal regions.
 It is known that the governor has already referred the legal questions involved to Attorney General Jones with a request for an opinion. This opinion, it is believed, will soon be rendered as the new board has an- nounced that it will hold a session carly in March and that if the con demned murderers desire their cases to be then heard, they can present any plea they desire to the board in an effort to show that they should be saved from the death penalty.
 And in the meantime the governor is standing pat on his position that the constitution protects him in the exercise of this prcrogative and that the referred measure, passed by the people is null, void and of TO effect If the new board refuses to interfere with the carrying out of the death sentences, it will be interesting to note what action the governor will take.

REVOLVING CRIME
 CHARGED TO DARLINGTON
(From Fridays Daily.)


 Charged with crime so revolting in nature and so nauseating in its de- tails that it cannot be given publicity, D. J. Darlington, a mattress maker of Jerome, is now behind the bars in the county jail, where he will probably remain until a trial determines wheth- CT or not he is guilty.
 The little girl, who is the victim of Darlington'S alleged vicious teachings is also in jail. She has been there for several days along with her small brother, the two being subjects for action by the juvenile court. They are accused of having committed a number of thefts in the copper city, but the girl Maude Patton, who is aged but l2 years will have to appear as witness against Darlington, both at his preliminary hearing and his subsequent trial in the Superior court.
 Darlington is no stranger to the in- side of the county bastile, he having been confined there upon being brought back from Chico, California, a year or more ago on a charge of abandoning his wife and failing to contribute to her support. He was given his liberty upon promise to make monthly payments for her maintenance. He opened up a furni- lure repairing, and mattress mending and making shop on Cortez street, put later closed it, leaving for Jerome where he has been engaged in the same line of business, and also in one which will land him behind the bars or a long term of years, if the ac- ,usations of the officers can be prov n to be true to the satisfaction of jury.
 Darlington was brought over from erome on yesterdays afternoon rain by Constable William Fitz- -erald, who was delegated the task of making the arrest, owing to the fact hat the sheriff and all of his deputies 'ere busily engaged summoning eniremen for the March Jury trial erm of court

ROAD MOVEMENT
 DISCUSSED AT WICKENBURG
(From Fridays Dafly.)

Wickenburg was host early in the
 week to officials and prominent citi-
 zens of Yavapai and Maricopa coun' ties. The occasion for the gathering
 was good road building, in which commercial advantages to both com
 monwealths were considered. Those
 present were the following: From
 Maricopa was Chairman of the Board
 of Supervisors, Wm. A. Moueur, Su- pervisor Peterson. County Engineer
 Caruthers, Harry Welch, Secretary of the Phoenix Chamber of Com merce, H. K. Behn and o. A. Ensign. From Yavapai were Wm. Stephens, chairman of the Board of Supervis ors, Malcolm A. Fraser, secretary of the Yavapai County Chamber of Com merce, and Robt. E. Morrison.
 Tuesday night banquet was given at Hotel Vernetta, which proved an enjoyable event to $ guests. The following day at noon the party was welcomed at the Monarch mining camp, by President J. H. Mulholland, where lunch was served.
 The Maricopa and Yavapai delega- tions inspected the road from Wick enburg south to point 'hree miles below Tubb Springs, which is badly in need of repairing. About four miles of this road are located in Yava- pal county. Both boards oi super visors were earnestly requested to start repair work and place this high way in condition for the heavy traffic | which will come over it this year.
 The Yavapai delegation also drove over the road to Constellation, which also is badly in need of repairing. Deep gullies appear from the recent -ains, making it difficult for even blackboard to negotiate the trip. |
