NO COMPROMISE
 SAYS ATTORNEY O'SULLIVAN
(From Sundays Daily.)

|
 During a two hours argument over law questions involved in the suit oi c. E. Oyler versus the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company for $35, Attorney O'Sullivan for the plaintiff in the Superior court yesterday, de- clarcd that they would not compro- mise for five cents less than his client had sued for and he was fighting for principle.
 The arguments were over two ques- tions which were brought mp by mo tions of the attorneys, LeRoy Ander- son for the defendant. having made a motion that Mrs c. E. Oyle- be made a plaintiff or a cross-defendant and Attorney O'Sullivan having made motion that a demurrer to the de- fendants counter claim be granted. Both were taken under consideration by Judge Smith and date for a hear ing of the suit was set for Saturday, May 29.
 The suit which is for money alleged to be due the plaintiff on ores sold to the defendant, was first brought up in the Justice court of Humboldt and the defendant was granted judgment, Oyler then taking an appeal to the Superior court.
 Oyler claims that the defendant owes him $9169 and while the com pany admits owing $56.69, the plain tiff will not accept the portion Of the sum, but is suing for the extra $35.
 Judge B. w, Mowday in the justice court at Humboldt ordered that the company pay Oyler the $5669 and that Oyler bear the costs of the suit.
 Title to l6O acres near Camp Verde was granted Frank Turner ct al in his suit brought against J. A. Bris- tow ct al by Judge Smith after docu- mentary evidence had been submitted by Attorneys Russell and Brown for the plaintiff. The defendant failed to appear
 On a motion of County Attorney O'Sullivan the case of the State versus Anton Arrocta who has entered an appeal from the judgment rendered against him in the justice court at Rumble Bee, was set for June 9. He was found guilty by Justice T. L.. Harden of trespassing on forbidden ground with his herd of sheep and fined $20O.

STATE HIGHWAY
 FIGURES IN SMASHUPS

The machine being driven by Geo. C. Ruffner was hit by another ma chine as he was returning to the city on the state highway at slow pace. The driver Of the othe- auto is not known, but the vehicle is owned by City Clerk Whisman. Ruffner was coming from Senator and had reached point about three miles out from this city, when the collision took place. He stated that the outgoing auto was sighted down the grade about half q mile distant making ex- cellent time, when he concluded to slow down as there were series of sharp curves intervening.
 The impact occurred of course, as both machines reached the place most to be avoided, which ended with no bodily injuries but bad smashup.
 Another head-on collision also oc- cured on this driveway on Wednes- day, in which a stranger figured, not being accustomed to that region. Ruffner again was bumped into" but his opponent was knocked out of bus mess from mechanical viewpoint, the condition of his Buick car being good evidence to that effect.

SECOND STORAGE DAM
 MAY SOON BE BUILT
(From Saturday's pailyl


 w. H. Rosecranz, with the Arizona Land and Irrigation Co.,, as con- sulting engineer, is expected to ar rive in few days from Chicago, when it is believed the construction of a second storage dam on Willow creel; will receive immediate attention.
 This movement it is stated, will be independent of that wherein the Has sayampa Alfalfa Farms Go. is inter ested and will be undertaken to af- ford supply of water with which to develop other units of land owned of that immense project embracing over 32OOO acres. The Willow creek shed is stated to be capable of conserving sufficient water to develop at least 7.5O0 acres, and with the success of the Granite creek storage, early op- erations may be anticipated on the second dam.
 Mir. Rosecranz' has made frequent inspections of the site selected on Willow creek, and it is probable will arrange for placing engineers in that field, in fact it is stated by those in terested, .his will be his mission in coming on the ground again.

CANAL CONTRACT
 WORK STARTS AT ONCE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 Arriving yesterday from Terre Haute, Indiana, H. G. Wells, of Nancy Brothers Construction Co.,, stated the work of digging the main canal and iaterals to irrigate lands in Lonesome valley for the Hassayam- pa Alfalfa Farms Co. would be start cd today. He estimated that about four months will be required to com plete these water systems, and that a large force would be employed in an endeavor to rush the work.
 In another department, this com pany is quite energetic in carrying cut its plans of land developing, and it is surmised that the tract of 5000 acres will be reclaimed this fall. Flowing still goes ahead, and large shipments of farm machinery are leaving this city. Since Lake Wat son has assumed the reality of fine body of water, it is quite probable that John Barbazette, the president, and other stockholders will soon make another inspection of their large holdings.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN
 THE CHAPARRAL SECTION
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Denny Forrest, of Miller valley the we'll known mining man, has re turned from scouting trip through Chaparral and along Big Bug creek, where he reports general mining revival as going on.
 He states the Union mine is mak- ing a heavy production of a good grade of shipping ore, and the owner, John s. Jones, is quite elated over the outlook. The Little Jessie is again operating under the superintendency of C. H. Blacker. The Jones mill is being remodeled to treat Jessie ore and it was reported steady run is assured for the summer. George Hammer continues developing and the showing is favorable. James O. Brien is leasing on Big Bug creek and will begin shipping in short time.
 Mir. Forrest states that he endeav- ored toSsccurc a lease on certain old mines, but was refused, the owner having arranged to start up on his own resources. This is the disposi- ton that generally prevails in that field.

PRESCOTT IS AFTER
 MOOSE SANATORIUM
(From Sundays Daily)

Prescott's position as a contestant for the Moose tuberculosis sanatori- um site occupied considerable time in discussion at the last Chamber of Commerce meeting, when the whole subject of publicity in connection with Prescotts claims was thorough ly threshed out.
 Silver City, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Colorado Springs are the strong est competitors against the mile high city. which appears to be in the front rank in the consideration of the Moose sanatorium committee of three members which visited Prescott in 1914.
 Cooperating with the local Moose lodge, the Chamber of Commerce will begin heavy publicity campaign fo- Prescott as the site, beginning next week. The plans are approved by both organizations and all the matter is now in hand for distribution broad cast in such quarters as it will best serve.
 The Washington Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is to hold nationwide meet at that city, June 15'16-17, and Prescott literature will be there in plenty at the head quarters office. Miss Bethesda Beals, secretary, has kindly permitted the Prescott climatology booklet to be so distributed, having made the arrange ments with Dr. C. E. Yount, chair man of the advertising committee.
 Dr. Yount's committee very much favors the distribution of 50 of these booklets at the Grand Canyon on the date when the American Medical As sociation is to sojourn there. The ex- pense entailed, it is thought, will be very small compared to the benefit which can undoubtedly be obtained by presentation of Prescott's claims to some ot the most celebrated medl- cal men in person.
 Senator Ashurst reported that he had made arrangements with the fish ey bureau at Washington for the ship ment of an adequate supply of black bass to be planted in the waters of Lake Watson.
 Chairman Kastner reported every thing going ahead well in connection with 1915 Frontier Days.
 President Aitken has received pa pers from Attorney Morrison which will form the basis for subscription list for acreage under the Granite creek dam, to be taken by local citi- zens and committee. for solicitation will soon be in the field

agreed upon and the next evening the same booth was used. The tables and chairs were piled on top of each other and Sharpneck, Reichard and i Anderson were hidden behind them to hear the conversation. Sid Birch and Robert Birch were both present and listened to the spotter's proposi- i ton which was that he had control of his two understrappers and could switch both of them in the prelimin- ary hearing which was to be held ! Monday morning. Sid Birch, afte- hearing the proposition, said that he wanted nothing to do with it. The Birch Brothers would have had him arrested then but the witnesses had not heard the proposition very clear ly, owing to the amount of noise i'll the building.
 Monday night after the preliminary hearings Alto again called up Robert Birch and said that he wanted to see him. Wondering what he wanted this time Birch told him to meet him Tuesday or last night in the room upstairs. The men had been placed out on the roof, lying on mattress right under the window, at which Altos head was, while he gave his
  new proposition to Birch. Alto said that he wanted to get out Of this d-n business and for $400 would leave the country and go all the way to New York and take his two under strappers with him. He also said that he could not do anything with Van Order, saying that the latter was sneak and could not be believed while under oath. He also said that Van Order had talked with Maria Treviso and had urged her to testify in behalf of the State. After the story had been gone over twice in earshot of the five men, Sid Birch, who had been called into hear it the second time by Robert Birch, told the spotter that he could do nothing for him and would not bribe any body. The Mexican was then taken to the door and handed over to Ky bon, who placed him under arrest. Alto was so taken by surprise that he completely collapsed, his legs re- fusing to support him. A large sized pistol was found in his rear pocket.
 George Yoshihiro, Frank Ito, Joe Abbott and Susana Cota say that they were approached by the spotter and that he offered to leave the country for $1OO from each. Sam Manlax says that the spotter told him that he need not worry as he would soon leave the country and then Manlax could go free.
 The sheriff's office, after it had re- ceived news of the arrest, stated there would be more sensational develop ments today, but would not indicate the nature of the surprise to he sprung.

BIND OVER TWO
 MEXICANS FOR ASSAULT
(From Saturdays Daily)

 Jose Gonzales and Inocencio Val ades, charged with assault with intent to commit murder, were returned to the county jail yesterday from Je- rome in charge of Deputy Bozarth after they had been given a hearing before Justice of the Peace w. A.. Kearns of Clarkdale who bound them over to the Superior court
 Gonzales and another Mexican named Andras Jourieguy after being locked in the county jail for nearly a month, pending results of a wound inflicted on Eduardo Gomez, by Con zales or Valades were taken to Je rome Thursday to have a hearing. It developed during the examination that Jouricguy had nothing to do with the shooting and was released. Val ades, it appeared from the testimony had fired twice at Gomez, the com blaming witness, and his name was entered on the complaint by Deputy County Attorney Morgan who rep resented the State at the hearing. Gonzales, it appeared, shot five times but none of the witnesses were sure whether it was he or Valades that fired the shot that hit Gomez. Both of the defendants who were bound ove- to the higher court under bonds of $1 900 claim that Gomez shot at them first. No evidence was submit ted to prove it and Gomez denies it. The affair was the result of quarrel in a dance hall in the Mexican sec ton of Jerome and occurred about April 11th.

BINGHAMTON IS
 READY TO GO AHEAD
(From Saturdays Daily9

lfrOm SdIuIQdy Odlly-J
 High priced copper is stimulating old mines to activity in this field, and the reviving of the well known Bing hamton holdings, on the Agua Fria, near Mayer, has been decided upon.
 This important announcement was made yesterday by Celora M. Stod- dard, who arrived from Phoenix, and who leaves today for the camp to ar range for early resumption. This property was among the first known to be located and operated in that section fer It's copper possibilities, and g large line of deep development was given. The slump taking place last year, occasioned a cancellation of plans decided upon to operate, but with the return of normal conditions those interested are desirous to go ahead again.
 I. T. Stoddard, recently deceased, was heavily interested in these hold ings, in fact, the original locator, and whose faith in their future never waned His son now takes up the unfinished work, and according to statements made by miners, the extensive ex- ploration given in many years, shows attractive determinations.
