FATAL ACCIDENT OVERTAKES
 HARRIS
MINER OF THIS SECTION IS HIT BY A STEAM SHOVEL AND DEATH INSTANTLY FOLLOWS
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)

George c. Harris, mention of whom was made several weeks ago as leaving this city with Mike Bran non, for the San Juan placer fields of Southwestern Colorado, was instant ly killed three weeks ago, when he was hit by the blade of a steam shovel.
 Particulars state that he was stoop- ing down in the cut, as the shovel was released by the engineer, the nose striking him on the small of the back as he was rising to step to the side of the opening. Harris was in charge of loading the shovel, and the nearest miner was about fifty feet in another zone of the workings. His brother was the foreman of the property, but at the time of the accident, was some distance away, sampling ground.
 Harris was quite well known in this section, and aged about 45 years. Be fore coming here he had three fingers of the left hand blown away by giant powder in a mine accident at Miami.

INSANE MAN ASKS TO
 BE LOCKED IN JAIL
(From Saturdays Daily)

A man giving the name of Emmet Harlow, who said his home is in Glas- gcw Kentucky, appeared at the office of Sheriff Joe Young yesterday and said, "I am crazy and want to be locked up to prevent myself doing some harm for which 1 might be sorry
 He was taken into custody and given quarters in the county domicile, Dr. Southworth being summoned to examine him.
 The examination disclosed the fact that the man was telling the truth concerning his condition, and his case will be determined formally within the next few days
 Emmct said he was 34 years old and had been in this part of the coun- try for some time, being a common laborinp man. He has brother in Louisville, Kentucky, and a sister in another part of the same state, ac- cording to his story, which seemed perfectly truthful He had few dol lars in his pocket but no other effects were brought to the jail by him. He appears to be of ordinary intelligence and talked in a perfectly rational manner yesterday.
 He said he was possessed of a per iodical .hallucination that some one was on his trail for the purpose of murdering him. At times this de mentia assumes such form that he suffers a great deal and is completely unable to control himself. He says he is thus possessed at night more than at any other time and that he has labored diligently to argue him self out of the thought which appears so dreadful and real to him, but all in vain.
 His case excited a great deal of pity among the court house officials, owing to his general appearance and his perfect frankness in wanting to prevent himself doing any fellow man harm

APACHE COUNTY ON
 VERGE OF PROSPERITY
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Thousands of acres of land will be added to the cultivated area of Apache county this year as result of the recent heavy rains that have soaked the entire northern tier of counties, according to statements made by Fred w. Nelson, former county at torney of Apache county and cashier of the Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust Company branch at St. Johns, who passed through Prescott on his return trip home after visit with his sisterin-law, Mrs w. Paul Geary, at Phoenix
 "The northern counties are in bet ter shape than they have been for years" said Nelson, "Stockmen and farmers generally are look ing forward to their most prosperous season. If not another drop of rain falls we have ample water until the late summer season at least, not on ly for stock raising but for farming as well. Several big companies and many private individuals are plan ming to place in cultivation large areas that have heretofore never been farmcd because of the lack of water for irrigation purposes. Among the is the Lyman Irrigation Company which owns several thous- and acres oi rich farming land near St. Johns. It is needless to say that the large addition to our cultivated lands will greatly increase the tax able wealth of Apache county"

PHANTOM RICHES LURE MINERS
 ID DESERT
THE ELUSIVE LOST FRENCHMAN" GOLCONDA IS THE QUARRY THAT LEADS THEM ON
(From Tuesdays Daily.O

For the fifth time in ten years Timothy Ward is with a party of min CTS which is seeking the treasures of Lost Frenchman" gold cache on the desert, letter being received a few days ago stating that he and three others are securing the desert region northwest of Ehrenberg Geo. Wheeler is also with the party
 This expedition was organized un- der the representations made by Ward, who claimed to have been in the close confidence of an Indian squaw several years who lived at old Cullen's Well, and for favors extend- ed her she outlined vaguely the loca- ton to be explored.
 There is no twin peak stunt in this search" writes Ward. He also stated that he believes in the sincerity of purpose of the old woman, but that his former hunts have been tni5direct- cd through a misconception of the particular land marks of the wild country.
 This movement is due, like many others, to legend of the desert, ap- parently well founded, wherein a party of highwaymen were said to have robbed certain miners who were leaving Rich Hill in the early eos. and made away with large amount of gold dust All were ambushed by Indians and but one escaped, he a Frenchman. The latter is supposed to have perished on the desert later and to have cached his riches. This belief has been the lure to take scores of prospectors to the desert in years past, and is not identified with the Nigger Ben, the Pegleg, the Adams diggings, or like phantoms, but Is an exclusive Arizona Fl Dorado.
 Ward also writes that later in the year he and friends will go to Peoples canyon, near the Santa Maria, if they are unsuccessful A. H. Peoples, after whom this strip was named resided in Peoples valley and after exploring that region for many years, gave up the search, going to Phoenix, where he passed away, confident to the last breath. that the Lost Frenchman" was hidden in that rugged dehle.

BOND BIDS MUST
 BE FILED IN Is DAYS
(From Sundays Daily.)

But fifteen days remain until the time will have arrived when the new
 court house bonds must be sold if
 they are to be disposed of at all under
 the present advertisement, and yestcr
 day not single formal bid was on
 file at the office of the board of su- pervisors. Previous to the publica- ton of the advertisement. now rum ming, three or four offers had been made, but could not even be consid- cred because of the necessity of the board fulfilling the law as to advertis- ing. At least one of those offers was of such nature that it could have been accepted had the board had the authority to do so.
 Chairman William Stephens says the fact that no offers have been made as a result of the advertise ment, is no indication that the bonds will not be sold, however. The clerk of the board has furnished dozens of copies of the advertisement to- bond ing houses and others making in- quiry, and all the information that is needed on the subject is already in the hands of about every bonding firm in the entire country. It is thought by Mr. Stephens that by March s, the last day when bids can be accepted, number of representa- tives of bonding houses will be on the ground in person and that bids will be available at that time If they are the board will at once get busy, and by the time spring opens up workmen win be busy on the dis and tearing down of the old on the site of which the new structure is to be reared.

STARVATION NOW THREATENS
 SONORA
BISBEE MAN TELLS OF AWFUL SITUATION IN THAT COUNTRY; VERY LITTLE HOPE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

J. J. Hayes, of Bisbee. who was in the city yesterday, said that the prin cipa1 excitement on the border now was the development of the war in Sonora. For long time the people on the Arizona border to Sonora have been up in the air" as to what they may expect next. MT. Hayes said that the latest report of sensa- tional nature reaching Bisbeei was that starvation now threatened hun dreds of Mexicans and Americans in Sonora, particularly south of Quay mas According to his report, the Carranza column, under General Iturbe, has not yet invaded Sonora, but Is advancing steadily through Northern 'Sinaloa, meeting with little opposition and delayed chiefly by the necessity of repairing railroad bridges destroyed by the conventionalist ad- vance guards as they fell back upon the main body at Fundicion, Sonora, about sixty miles north of the Sinaloa border.
 He says that little food remains in the extreme southern portion of Son ora, while the Yaqui river valley is particularly hard put to keep body and soul together. Flour has been entirely exhausted throughout this section and there is no way to secure new supply, owing to the stringent embargo on foodstuffs promulgated by the conventionalists in Guaymas, and strictly enforced.
 For this reason the people are fac irg the advance of the Carranzista column with great fear They know flat Iturbe's men must live off the country and there is so little food ob- tainable that the introduction of any IOHSluSl dDlC DOuy Ol lhSl IIlO lilN district will mean starvation for the greater portion of the inhabitants un- less aid comes from some unexpected source.
 The situation is still further com plicatcd by the severance of railroad communication with the north. In the recent heavy floods which de stroyed much foodstuff, including cattle and other live stock, the steel bridge over the Yaqui river was wash cd out. The railroad people have been unable to make repairs because of their inability to assemble a sufi- ciently large force of workmcn. They are unwilling to say just when it will be repaired but their very silence adds to the burden of fear of the population.
 Because of the lack of railroad ia cilitics many who would otherwise come to the northern part of the state find themselves unable to do so.

British Capture of Chappene
Largest Gain in North France

success against attacks planned by the
only military genius the war has pro-
duced.
There will be satisfaction in England
over the capture of Neuve Chappelle not
only because positive gains of any kind
are rare, but also because the Indians
were specially mentioned as participat-
ing in the attack. Since the first APP
pearance of the Indians on the firing
line, tales have been circulating in Eng
land of their inability TO face artillery
fire. The stories were never published,
but they have been passed along from
mouth to mouth.
The Indians discovered the terrors of
artillery fire when they first faced the
Germans. Reports received in England
declare they were Mortified not only by
the destructiveness of the fire, but also
by the huge holes torn in the ground
and the terrific booming of the larger
shells. As a consequence the Indians
were reported to have been removed
from first line trenches.
