IneipIent Blaze


 Thursday morning about ten o. clock small fire was discovered in front of the residence of J.: M. Lally atove the Morenci Hotel. MT. Lally had the day before unpacked furni- ture for the new rooms he has recent ly added to his house and had piled the excelsior and burlap on the ce- ment porch. When discovered Ithe Z fire had gained considerable headway but by the efforts of two or three wo- men with buckets the blaze was fn- ally put out. The door to the new portion of the house was considerably scorched and had the new wall been built of lumber instead of tile the entire building probably would have burned to the ground The cause of the confagration is not known but it is thought that it caught from tie spark from a passing engine or the result of cigar or cigarette stub which was carelessly thrown into the refuse.

 found several punches of keys, one of
 which belonged to the cigar case in the Morenci Club and others were
 found to fit different places of busi-
 ness around towns which would indi4 Fcate that they intended to carry on their operations extensively The
 boys had their hearing on Wednesday smornins at which time the complain
 ing witness did not appear to prose- cute the charges against them and
 they were turned loose with severe
 lecture by the justice and promise

Newtown Cases Dismissed

The charges which were pending against fourteen Newtown women were dismissed tliis week at the re- quest of the County Attorney, owing to insufficient evidence. The cases pending were similar in character to that of Jackie Frazier which was tried a short time ago. This defendant vas found not guilty by a jury and it is the concensus of opinion that the remaining cases would of necessity result likewise as in cases of this na- ture it is almost impossible to se- cure a conviction.

 Fermin Chavez, better known as Wells Fargo an old time Mexican who has resided in Morenci for years land was known by nearly everyone in town, was drowned in the Eagle river Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock. It snot knows just how the accident happened but it was evident that he attempted to cross the river on his burro and on account of the stream being high and the strong current the burro was swept from it's feet throwing Chavez into the water. The deceased was an old man and was undoubtedly helpless in the water and easily succumbed to it's force. The body was brought to Morenci late Wednesday evening for inter rnent.

UNIVERSITY COURSE FOR ARIZONA

College of Mines at Tucson Will Offer Exceptional Opportunities Nto the Miner, Millman and Prospectors.

It is announced by Prof. Charles IF. Willis, director of the Bureau of Mines of the University of Arizona
 that plans are being made for a Eshort course for miners, mill men and Iprospectors for next year along quite novel lines. The customary short course as given by other institutions Eranges from periods of from two weeks to four months, and include Ia group of lectures which must nee |cessarily cover large field in a short time. It does not, therefore, admit |of the completion oI the thorough un- |derstanding of any one subject.
 The branches of the mining indus try are so diverse that the man wish ing to study assaying may not care lin the least about field geology. min management, electrtcal machinery, etc Tor one desiring to study the mechani- |cal ends of mining would not be in |terested in the methods of prospect ing or elementary minerology.

 The work is planned to be intense ly practical, its sole object being to allow men of mature age the facili- ties for study to better themselves in their present positions. It Is believed
 that the demand for such a course is great, and it is anticipated that after
 the first year it will be necessary to extend the work even farther.
 The plans are not completed as
 yet, owing to the fact that the state Legislature at it's regular session did
 no pass the appropriation bills; when
 these bills are passed. more complete information will be given out.
