SWASTIKA MINES ACQUIRED BY GIROUX
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

It was learned yesterday from re liable sources that the closing of the deal for the mines of the Swastika Development Company, took place al Mayer on last Tuesday, in which F w. Giroux is to assume charge and begin operating immediately on a bond and lease, with a provision made in the agreement to purchase out right the holdings at a stipulated sum. Representing the company in this transaction was F. w. Wood, of Los Angeles, who made the trip for this purpose.
 Included in the deal are the Silver Prince and the Black Warrior mines, both old-time bonanza silver pro ducers, that are located near Peck siding on the Bradshaw Mountain railway. Both were revived a few years ago by the company, after lying dormant for over a quarter of a cen tury, and production has been main tained at a profit, according to re ports. Until recently regular ship ments were made to Fl Paso smelters and the high grade ore attracted very much attention, returns of 750 ounces to the ton being frequent
 Giroux is one of the best known of local mining men, and is conversant with the property. The camp, he states. will be active in the future, and the plan of development outlined and under prosecution will be carried put. Business matters on the coast require the personal attention of Wood, is the reason he gives for dis posing of the property.

LONG TERM IN THE
 PEN FACES DARLINGTON
(From Thursdays Oaily.)

(From Thursdays Dally.)
 D. J. Darlington must go to the state prison at Florence. He was convicted by jury of his peers, after long deliberation, lasting from Tues day night until yesterday afternoon about o'clock, when verdict was returned finding him guilty of the crime of lewd and lascivious conduct with a girl under IA years of age. The opinion had been freely ex- pressed that it would be a hung" jury, owing to the fact that a verdict was not rendered in short time, it being evident that some of the jurors were holding out for acquitta1. It is said that the first ballot was 10 to ? for conviction, which later changed to II to for conviction and was that way when the jury, wearied of the dis cussion, turned in for the night The one lone juror steadfastly maintained his faith in the innocence of the ac- cused through many hours, but was finally won over, thus barring any chances that Darlington might have through a new trial, resulting from disagreement.
 Sentence will be pronounced by Judge Smith Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time there will also doubtless be made a motion for a new trial The penalty for the crime of which Darlington was convicted is from one year to life in the 'pen." It is not probable that the second charge, that of attempted rape, will be pressed.

HITTING
 GOOD GRADE ORE
(From Wednesdays Da;,v)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Returning Monday from the Rosalie camp, each of Mayer, George C. Mcese stated recent exploration had been attended with gratifying re- suits, the ore body being penetrated, and under conditions which were deemed absolute as indicating per manency.
 Through the efforts of this oper- ator this property was revived a short time ago, after a suspension of sew eral years, for its possibilities in gold, and due to copper quotations again assuming an upward movement.
 In speaking of the Rosalie Mon- day, MT. Meese was quite optimistic over determinations made in so short a time, and is confident of his hold ings meriting the outlay of quite large sum decided upon by the com pany that has assumed ownership.

(From Fridays DailYl


 Secretary Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce has received news from Tucson that on Saturday, March 20, in connection with the Southern Ari- zona fair, there will be offered a $500 prize for any cowboy who can ride certain vicious broncho they have on tap for just one minute.
 It is requested by Secretary John F. Myers of the Southern Arizona fair that this news be given as wide publicity as possible John says that no COW punch in Yavapai can get the dough- but it is understood that Doc Pardee considers the investment of the amount necessary to go to Tucson to ride that broncho a very safe one.
 In connection with this fair, visit is to be made by the same booster squadron from Fl Paso, which visited Prescott in 1913. The pass city men are to take their Fort Bliss military band and will travel in a special train of Pullmans.

LAND SELECTED
 LAPSES TO THE U. s.

PHOENIX, March 9-Over one third of the land selected for the state by the land commission, went back into the hands of the United States yesterday, when an order from the department was noted at the local land office. putting 7l4,240 acres back into the public domain. This land is not yet open to settlement and entry.
 Since its organization, the land commission has selected in the neigh borhood of two million acres of land. and it is estimated that the cost to the state of this work is close to $600O0. Yesterdays order means that about $20,000 worth of this work has gone for nothing.
 Failure to get publication of the le- gal notices covering the 7l4.240 acres is thought to be the reason for the se- lection being turned back. In his let ter to the land office, the bureau chief says that Governor Hunts intention was evidently to permit the general land office to view his failure to re-
 
 new his request for the withdrawal or the said lands as equivalent to a re- quest for the elimination of the with drawal Of said lands. An order for the survey of the lands in question has been issued to Surveyor General Ingalls,, but he has not yet put his men to work on the job. He is ex- pecting an order resembling the previ- ouS order for the survey.
 ] Giving as an excuse the statement that 6.500 acres of Gila river bottom land in Yuma county is not good soil, the land commission last week re linquished part of the selection al ready made over to the state, and it Is understood that other relinquish- nents will follow on similar or on the same grounds.
 Thirty-one townships are embraced in the tracts the state has just per mitted to go back into the public do main. By description, this land is: Ts. and ?, N. Rs. 6, 7, s, 9 and 10, w.

MAYER ENTHUSES OVER
 CUSTOM ORE WORKS
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 The building of the new custom ore plant near Mayer, has awakened that community into a pleasant reali- zation that its fond hopes are being crystalized after many years.
 Business conditions are picking up already, and three prospects that have been dormant for many years, are now alive, with half a dozen more camps to spring up during the month" was the statement made yes terday by an arrival from that place The work of grading for the new plant already has started, as we'll are buildings going up. It is stated the Gray Eagle Reduction Company means business, and with its chemi- cal-electro process propose to give the miner a very moderate rate in treating his ore, that production may be encouraged and the plant run to its capacity. Another feature attach ed to the future of Mayer is that under consideration is the early in cooperating of the place into a full hedged city and the organizing of a chamber of commerce.

SUCCESSFUL RUN
 OF CLIMAX MINE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 For the second time during this year, the Climax mill has made q very successful run of ore, and the bringing in yesterday by Superintend, ent s. L. Duncan of bar of gold bull lion weighing several hundred dollars is evidence of the success of that property.
 Duncan stated the last run was of 100 tons, and while withholding the values, stated, however, the grade was high, and the run was one of the best ever made. He also stated the mine never looked better, and development is going ahead energetically, with un- derground conditions as decidedly at tractive.
 This mine has been remarkable producer in recent years of gold bull lion, and with a force of only six miners, has yielded as high as $30,OOO in a single year, mine work alternat- ing with that of milling as occasion requires. Kidneys of free ore have been taken out that ran to as high as $500 to the ton, which were sacked and shipped. Under the system of operating, the Climax is paying its way, with margin of profit and is to become one of the big gold mines of this field.

DOMESTICATES LOBO;
 AS GENTLE AS DOG
(From Wednesdays Daily.l


 Chester Murray, who is in the city on mining business, stated yesterday that he and his partner, c. K. Larson, have conquered the wild nature of a lobo, and made it as gentle as a dog.
 The creature was captured near their camp in the Planet range of Yuma county, when about one week old, after its mother had been killed. It was kept in an enclosure for over five weeks, before being permitted to wander around. It disappeared for a few days, but finally showed up, evi- dently being hungry. Feeding it reg ularly it responded to kind treatment, and seldom leaves the camp for longer than an hour at time. The lobo IS now five months old. Murray will ship it to the San Diego expo5i- ton and afterward it will go to the, latter's home.

COURT DECLARES
 ROBBINS CHIEF OF POLICE
(From FridaY's Daily.l

Robert Robbins is the chief of DO lice of Prescott and will remain so unless some higher court disagrees with the decision rendered yesterday afternoon by Judge Smith in the Stu perior court.
 There were no formalities to the rendering of the decision. Just as tue spectators were filing out of the court room, following the adjournment of the Floyd pandering case until this morning at 9 o'clock. Judge Smith said: MT. Clerk: In the case of Heisler vs. Robbins enter an order that the petitioner take nothing and that judgment be entered in favor of the defendant"
 Judge Smiths opinion, holding that Robbins is the legally appointed chief of police is based on Section 5 of Article 2 of the city charter, which he maintains absolutely controls the manner of the selection Of the chief peace officer of the municipality. Section 5 reads as follows: The Mayor and the Common Council shah have the further power to create the offices of City Attorney, a Chief of Police, a City Treasurer, a Health Officer. City Surveyor, Clerk of the Council, a Recorder and such other officers, as they may deem proper, and shall appoint officers for such offices, whose duties, powers and terms of office shall be prescribed by the Common Council, not inconsistent with this act"
 The end of the case is not yet, how ever, for it has been understood that no matter which side won in the local court, an appeal would be taken to the Supreme court.
 The fight over the office antedates the last municipal election by mum Der of months. It was determined last summer to operate the city under a commission form of government. and an investigation developed thai the charter was elastic enough for the purpose in view. An ordinance was passed in September changing tn, offices of recorder, city clerk, assessor and chief of police from elective to appointive tenures. That left only the Mayor and Councilmen to be elected by the people. Subsequent to the election, in February, the Council made its appointments and Robbins was named to succeed Heisler. The latter persisted in claiming the office. alleging that the Council had no pow CT to abolish it, and instituted quo warranto proceedings. Ever since that time Prescott has nominally had two chiefs of police, and two men on night duty. one the appointec of Rob bins and the other the appointee of Heisler.

SUSPENSION OF
 QUARANTINE IS URGED

PHOENIX. March lO.-Urginb the formation Of a triple alliance" for the suspension of state quarantine regulations against the foot and mouth disease, Governor Hunt yes terday wired the governors of Texas and New Mexico proposing that a tri- state agreement be made relative to shipments originating in the three states.
 The governors action followed a conference earlier in the day between the chairman of the Live Stock Sani- tary board and representative of the farmers of the Salt and Gila river valleys, at which it was pointed out that the drastic quarantine regula- tions recently adopted by Texas pre- vent the importation of hay, farm equipment and other commodities from all states, including Arizona and New Mexico. New Mexico it was stated is about to adopt the same rules against the foot and mouth dis ease, so that all shipments of hay from this state will be prohibited lnasmuch as Arizona already has a stringent quarantine in effect, and may make it even more sweeping to conform o-those in force in the other states, it was proposed that the three states enter into agreement permitting shipments to pass freely in the terri tory designated.
 Under the existing regulations no shipments of cattle or hay from any source can enter Texas. California is admitting shipments from Arizona. New Mexico and Texas for immediate slaughter only. There have been no outbreaks of the disease in any of the states mentioned the nearest cases having been reported from Kansas. Governor Hunts telegram to Govern or Ferguson of Texas follows:
 Phoenix, Ariz., March 9, 1915. Hon. Jas. E. Ferguson,
 Governor of Texas,
 Austin, Texas.
 As I am informed that New Mexico and Texas contemplate adopting rigid quarantine restrictions similar to these recently inaugurated by Ari- zopa for the safeguarding of live stock interests against foot and mouth disease, I'would urgently suggest that New Mexico, Texas and Arizona agree upon certain qualifications of quarantine regulations affecting ship ments of livestock, farm equipment, hay and other commodities originat- ing in any of these three states. Such an agreement would undoubtedly greatly facilitate the conducting of stock raising and agriculture, as well as the finding of suitable markets for certain products common to the states mentioned above. A similar wire is going forward to the governor Of New Mexico Any expression Of opinion which you may care to ad- vance on this subject will be greatly appreciated.

Famous Royal Artillery Band.

One of the most famous bands is that of the Royal artillery. Many per sons who have attained distinction in the musical world have been connect ed with the Royal artillery or its band. Among them was Sims Reeves, who was the son of a bandsman, and who, in his boyhood, sang in the military choir at Woolwich. It is, perhaps, not well known that the Royal artillery band is fifty years older than the Philharmonic society, having been formed in 1762. It has done much for the advancement of music in England, and has always enjoyed the advantage of having a succession of eminent mu- sicians as bandmasters. It has always been double-handed; that is to say, the players are as proficient on stringed instruments as on wind, and can at any time assume the character of an orchestra.
