THREE GUARDIANS
 WITHIN VERY SHORT TIME
(From Sundays Daily)

Two estates closed, a guardian ap- pointed, a transfer of guardianship ordered, and a civil suit transferred, constituted the business in the Stu perior court yesterday.
 Judge Smith in the suit of Nels K. Nelson, administrator of the estate of Olaf K. Nelson, deceased, against the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Com pany of Mayer for the sum of $l5,OOO granted the petition of the defendant for a transfer of the case from the Superior court to the Arizona Dis trict Court of the United States. The change of venue was ordered on a plea by the attorney for the defend ant of diversity of citizenship, the Consolidated Arizona, being under foreign ownership. The plaintiff, a brother of Olaf K. Nelson, claims that the deceased was killed in the Blue Bell mine through negligence of the company.
 Transfer of the estate of Margaret s. Devine, a minor, to the State of California was ordered. A decree of a settlement of the guardians account was also granted. The guardianship of the estate and the ward were turn ed over to ]. R. Hughes of California who was appointed by the Superior court of Sacramento country where Miss Devine has become a resident. Mir. Hughes will be the young lady 5 third guardian, she having had two in this state, the first being attorney R. P. Talbot, formerly of this city, and then the Commercial Trust and Say ings Bank, which by order of the court will turn the estate which is valued at approximately $24,000 over to Hughes.
 In the estate of Thomas Mackin, a minor who lives in Wisconsin with his mother, and owns property in Ari- zona, the court appointed Peter Mack in, resident of Prescott, as guardian. Bond was fixed in the sum of $500.
 Orders discharging the admins trators, closing the estates and exon crating the bonds were made in the estates of J. Howard Nash and Chas. H. Shackelford, which were ordered distributed last Wednesday.

REAL CASE OF A
 MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY

NEW YORK, April 3.-Onc of the strangest cases ever brought before he immigration authorities of New York is that of Nathan Cohen, who las been called the ca-wandcring Jew" owing to the fact that he has just completed year at sea, having travelled 33,7OO miles on his $45 steer age ticket. During the entire time he has never been allowed to land.
 Cohen Is actually man without a country He first came to New York in May, 1912. Two years later he showed symptoms of Of insanity and was sent to Ellis Island. There the experts decided that his mental crook edness was due to causes which had -xistcd before he came to America and he was ordered dcportcd to Rio lc Janciro. Brazil, the port whence he came. The Brazilian authorities refused to accept him, as he had no papers to show tl:at he was citizen of Brazil. Cohen maintains that he is a citizen and that Portuguese is lis natal speech, but as he has no papers to prove his claims Brazil re- fuses to admit him. The steamship Inc al whose expense Cohen has been travelling tried to persuade the immigration authorities that Cohen was all right when they took him aboard originally and again made an effort 10 have him sent to some place of permanent anchorage. There was hint of Russian in the Portuguese of Cohen and it was suggested that he might have been born in Russia.
 While the authorities were con sidcring sending him to Russia the war came and put an end 10 the plan. In the meantime Cohen has been mak ing his regular trips to Brazil and back. The sea voyages apparently have improved his mental condition and the steamship line is arranging to have alicnists pass on his cOndi- ton so that they may avoid having him as a life passenger on their ships. Ellis Island cannot go back of its de cision unless it is proved that Cohen is now sane. Unless proof to satisfy the government is offered he will start on another 7O00-milc trip in a few days and will come back, over the same same course. some time within a few months.

MURPHY THOUGHT
 TO BE BUYER OF MINE

TUCSON, April 3.-That the pur- chase at auction of the properties ot the Imperial Copper Co. this week was made by the Murphy interests IS the opinion of close observers ot the case. It is hazarded that if Frank M. Murphy has again secured control by this means, he will redouble his et- forts to re-hnance the mine and re- sume operations. The mine at Silver bell has not been operated since 1910.
 Mir. Murphy was here from Pres colt shortly before the auction, which occurred Wednesday. He is known to have been arranging with the holders of the receivers certih- cates, amounting to $6O,OOO or more, to purchase them. It is also stated on good authority that he arranged with the receiver and attorneys in the case to defer collection of their fees, amounting to $40,O00, consisting ot $15,OOO for the receiver and S25,OOO for the attorneys.
 The properties were bought in by Frank H. Hereford, in the name of Leo Goldschmidt It is generally conceded that MT. Goldschmidt IS merely fgurehead.
 The purchase price was $lO4,OOO, just about the total of the certih- cates and the fees. This represents the pressing debts against the prop erty. The certificates were issued to cover expenses of maintenance.
 It is known that Mir. Murphy still has great faith in the Silverbell prop critics. They arc regarded by mining men as very valuable. The machinery at the shelter is in excellent condi- ton, all parts liable to rust having been covered with white lead. The Corliss engines and compressors are considered modern equipment.
 It was only two years ago that deal was arranged in New York city whereby the Murphy interests were to receive five and a half millions for the Silverbell and Christmas mines. The purchaser was ready to pay down $1OOOOO in cash, but the deal fell through.
 The sale must be confirmed by or der of court, and within ten days thereafter the purchaser must pay in the full amount of his bid
 In the meantime, the decision of the Superior court in the case of the Bankers Trust Co. vs. the Imperial Copper Co. has been appealed to the Supreme court by John H. Martin, trustee in bankruptcy of the copper company. If the decision is reversed the sale will be set aside and the assets distributed in the bankruptcy court.

WOMAN DRIVEN TO
 SUICIDE BY HOME BREW

GLOBE, April 3.-Disgraceful con- ditions arising out of the sale of home made booze" by bootleggers whose business has been fourishing since statewide prohibition went into effect the first of the year were re- vealed in Judge Hinson Thomas court when an inquiry was made into the death of Mrs. Belle Murray, who. shot herself while riding home from a dance at Wheatfelds carly last Sun day morning. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the woman committed suicide.
 It was discovered through the evi- dcnce at the inquest that powerful intoXicants, evidently alcoholic mix lures of nondcscript character, were freely dispensed at the dance and that large number of the members of the party became hopelessly intoxicated. One fourtecn-ycar-old girl, who said that she had never before taken a drink of intoxicating liquor, testified that she lost consciousness Saturday night and knew nothing more until Sunday afternoon, when she woke up in the home of relative A nine year-o boy was also said to have been made drunk on the liquor that was flowing at the dance.
 Willie Stroupc, on whose lap the Murray woman was sitting when she blew out her brains, stated that he remembered a Mexican who was playing in the orchestra with him, fell off his chair ard that he had no remembrance of anything that hap pencd afterwards until he woke up the next day in af rooming house in Globe. He did not know until later that the woman had committed sui eide.
 The grand jury has taken up an in vestigation of the case. The grand jurors arc cndcavoring to learn where the drinks consumed by the dancers were obtained, and indict- mcnts ill that connection arc cx- pcctcd.

REMARKABLE ORE
 FROM LITTLE DAISY
(From Sunday's DaIIy)

The last shipment of ore made from the Little Daisy to United Verde smelters at Jerome, went to the 43 per cent grade" said James Doug las, while returning to Douglas on yesterdays afternoon train.
 This information was given to sev- eral friends at the depot, and com ing from one who is so heavily inter ested ill that property, is nothing more or less than a vcrihcation of re ports over high grade ore being de- tcrmincd Mir. Douglas also stated this remarkable product comes from the zone explored from the 1,4lO-foot level. On the 400 level, he stated, drifting goes ahead, and later it IS ex- pected to tap the shoot above. Ship mcnts aggregate about ten tons per day and packing on burros IS the method of transportation for the present.

LAKE SUPERIOR AND
 BIG PINE CONSOLIDATED
(From Sundays Daily.)

With the consolidation of the Big Pine mines of the Hassayampa dis trict and the Lake Superior and West ern Company's mines of the Crown King section, under the name of the Big Pine Consolidated Mining Com pany, local mining has received a new impetus.
 The new company is a combination of local people headed by Charles H.. Dunning, who have been working the Big Pine mines extensively and Du- luth people, who arc interested in the Crown King mines owned by the Lake Superior and Western Com pany. The machiHcry which has been used in working the latter named mines will be moved to the Big Pine mines and there put in operation.
 The men known to be interested both financially and otherwise in the new corporation arc Charles II. Dun ming and A. M Boss, who arc the organizers and live in Prescott. 9th CTS arc Felix Durocher, Andrew Bjorkman. Herbert C. Shotwcll, John J. Hawkins and Andrew Bcrgquist.

GRANITE CREEK
 BOTTLED UP AT LAST
(Frcm !S':nGsy's Daily.)

NFICm NfilOoy Odlly.j
 At last is water storage on Granite creek a reality. The huge dam of the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Com pany had the last concrete poured yesterday, and the laying of the two gates is going on, this incidental work to be finished tomorrow. The blades will lowered in each during the day, and Granite creek will cease to run to the sea.
 The formal ceremonies of dcdicat- ing this laudable undertaking will probably occur on Monday afternoon, contingent on the arrival of Prcsi- dent Watson and several other stock holders from Indiana, who are cn route. Mir. Watson was one of the original incorporators of the project and has remained stcadfast and per sistent in upholding the ultimate out come of the heavy investment as war ranted by its future possibilities in retaining fertile lands that are said to be without an equal in the South west. Lake Watson will probably be the title bestowed on the new inland body of water for the future. With the big dam ready for use, after the arrival of eastern stockholders ma tcrial matters pertaining to land de- vcloping are to be acted upon and closed up.
 Construction of a second storage dam on Willow creek, less than one mile distant from the one completed, will be considered, and it is stated will receive immediate attention. Granite creek at the storage site, is carrying a good sized body of water, sufficient it is stated, to develop the 5,O00-acre tract set aside as the first unit of the 32,O0O acres owned.

INITIAL MOVE TO
 BEGIN LARGE MINING
(From Sundays Daily)

w. s. Wilhelm, who has attained considerable prominence in this field in recent months as practical min ing man of ability, is preparing to be- gin operations on quite an extensive plan, completing legal arrangements yesterday for incorporating the Ari- zona and California Mining Co. This syndicate will have capitalization of $250O0O, with stockholders composed of MT. Wilhelm, Garrett Lavender and Walter Wilhelm, all of Long Beach, California.
 This movement is noteworthy, for the reason that Wilhelm is decidedly well pleased with exploration carried on for several months on mines of Hassayampa district, which is to be the future field covered by the cor poration. In speaking yesterday of recent development on the New State and Elk claims he said the unwater ing of the first had been accomplish ed A satisfactory body of gold orc is exposed, and the purpose is to cX- tend the tunnel until a depth from the surface of 150 feet is reached At the Elk camp development has cX- cccdcd expectations, and orc valued at $40 per ton in gold has been open ed tip.
 Mir. Wilhelm is well pleased with his investments. and with d camp to be established later on the Perry, is contemplating the erection of plant to treat the product after additional exploration is given
 Through the influence of this opcr- ator. considerable Long Beach cap ital is coming to this section, as well is that zone of the Hassayampa he has entered, attracting very much attention and interest as to possibili- ties by engineers making investiga tions, and several sales pending.

MINING
 COMPANY IS LAUNCHED

(From Sundays Daily.)
 The mining situation in this section was again given prominent consider ation yesterday by the incorporating of the Long Beach Mining Company, which will begin operating immcdi- ately in Hassayampa district.
 This association of capital results after an extended prospecting of the 16O acres of patented land owned by the Maricopa Queen Oil Co.,, of Cali fornia, which made the purchase last fall
 In the new mining movement c.. w. Duncan, of the coast city will be a factor, and with him as a large in vestor is James r. Connor also of Long Beach. Mir. Duncan has con ciuded an exhaustive prospecting of the property, taken over under lease, and is sanguinc over the show ing made. He stated yesterday there is every possibility of making sue cess, and the idea of failure is dis countenanced. He returns in few weeks, to establish camp and start operating. Before the deal was clos cd Mir. Duncan carried out line of systematic prospecting, and on the attractive mineral conditions proven. the deal followed. The holdings ac- quired are situated near the Elk and New State mines, which zone IS com ing into prominence by the good showing recently made on each.

is in my judgment great big milling proposition. The stability of its mines rests upon foundation of medium grade ore whose precious metal content is largely gold. The reduction problem is therefor easily solved insofar as it applies to the ex- traction process. How and where to obtain that essential factor, water, is a more difficult phase of the problem. For a time at least the subterranean flow that will be tapped in the vari- ous mine workings will probably sup ply the need in conjunction with the flow available through the medium of developed water right. Ultimate ly, however, the orc tonnage will be so large you will be forced to go to the Colorado river for your water supply. However, the cost of piping and pumping it from that source should not be formidable.
 A Cause of Surprise.
 T am agreeably surprised at the faith the residents of the Tom Reed Gold Road district have in the future of its mines. Nearly every person residing in camp which is coming into prominence will talk big about its prospects, but it is somewhat un- usual to visit a mining community where real money is doing most of the talking. Why, there is scarcely a grown person in the entire camp who does not own stock in one or more of your mining companies. Local backing, together with really phenomenal ore showing, has sent United Eastern stock from 25 cents 70 $2 per share. Local people over subscribed at g cents per share with ng three days an issue of 100000 shares of United Western, through whose estate is said to pass the con .inuation of the United Eastern orc  body. I have been informed by re- liable people that Tom Recd-Gold Road district mining stock to the mount of $100,000 has been sub scribed for within week by people lying within a radius of 25 miles of lere. Facts such as these arc cm-  ohatic-they speak for themselves.
 q believe that the trend of spccula- i've sentiment Is again becoming fav- orable to mining-to legitimate min ng, not to madc-in-a-night mines and irresponsible mining companies. The lay of the wildcattcr and his weird promotion is tale that is told. They Aave no place in the present and would find no favor with the invest ng public. Clean, honest mining propositions will, however. in my judgment continue to grow in popu- ar favor and to receive popular sup port. The mines of this district will probably have first call with the in vesting public. I believe if you give he public a square deal you will find he public responsive in a measure to your most Sanguinc hopes, and that you will in due course establish !crc one of the best known and most profitable mining camps in the United States. In all the mining essentials :. is a wonder camp right now.
 ITO me, though, the greater won Ter is why its worth has not been hcralded long before this"

FANS LOYAL TO TINE END.

Baseball. that great American game
that engrosses the attention OF count
less thousands thruout the country
every summer. has closed in Marshall
town for another year, The loyal fan
who has stood by his team thru defeat
as tho it had been victory, will now
have to content himself until next sea-
son by playing the games over again
in his mind.
Our season has been success
financially. despite the unreasonable
weather that has sent many a minor
league on the rocks this year. No
minor league has had better support
from home fans than the MARSHALL
town aggregation. If the team lost,
there was always some good excuse.
If errors We're made, and they often
We're. they We're excused in most in
stances. II a pitcher proved unsteady,
and all pitchers are at times, it was his
off day" Local fans have been loyal
~ personified. They have done much
to help the game in Marshalltown.
To be true, Marshalltown would have
liked very much TO have finished
farther UP in the percentage column,
If for no other reason than 10 have had
the benefit of better advertising
abroad. But when losing team can
command the support the Ansons have,
there is something more than pass
ing interest in the game. This charac-
teristic of the local fan is what at
tracts the attention of outside man
ayers. who scramble for an opportunity
10 lead the team next season.
Marshalltown has deserved more
than she has received in the way Of
baseball for her outlay for a team this
season. The town was entitled TO a
place higher UP the percentage ladder
than a. position next 10 the bottom.
If the town will support a losing team,
what would it do for one which was
winning? Business doubtless would
be practically suspended toward the
latter part Of the season, We're the team
lighting for a pennant. Perhaps II is
better for business if not for the sports
that we are nearer the bottom. Who
would let business interfere with base
ball anyway?
