japanese Fleeing.

Mukden, via Peking, May 6.-Jap-
anese consular orders have resulted
in a general flight of Japanese from
Mukden. The value of a gold yen
has increased 80 silver cents and a
rich harvest was reaped by exchange
brokers. All Japanese civilians ex-
cept few bankers and railway Off
cials now have left.
All classes of Chinese view the ex-
odus with stolid indifference, not in
sulting or molesting in any way the
persons leaving the city. Although
the natives are deeply perturbed, the
city remains quiet.
Japanese troops occupy strategic
positions in Mukden, while Chires :
soldiers are reported to be moving
into position south of the city. Many
OF the residents in that district are
coming north.

ITALY THOROUGHLY PREPARED.
Special Measures Are Adopted for
the Defense Of Venice.

On the Italian Frontier, Wednes-
day. May 5, via Paris, May g.
Though negotiations between Italy
and Austria continue, Italy's military
preparations are being completed
with as much energy as though the
country expected to participate in
war tomorrow.
All the carabineers and the Gus.
toms guards attached to the. army
nave been called to the colors. All
military leaves of absence have been
suppressed.
The frontier on the Austrian side
has been strongly fortified. All the
passes are protected with entrench-
ments and wire entanglements. Con-
crete has been used in many places
in erecting barricades.
Special measures have been adopt
ed for the defense of Venice and it's
art treasures. The naval authorities
believe long range guns Of large cali
bre are sufficient to deal with any
hostile fleet. To afford protection
against aerial attacks, anti-aircraft
guns have been set up at several
points around the city.
In addition to- the troops concen-
trated on the Austrian frontier an
other Italian army has been assem-
bled near Brindisi, on the Adriatic
This is interpreted as a sign that
Italy foresees the possibility OF ac-
tion in the near east.

CHAPLAIN BROWN
 CLOSING ARMY CAREER
(From Saturdays Dsiiy)

The many Prescott friends of Chap lain Henry A. Brown, U. s. A., will be interested to learn of his desire to be retired from service in the army. At present he is attached to the First Battalion of Engineers at Washing ton Barracks, D. C., with the rank of major.
 Chaplain Brown is a native of Ohio, and was graduated from Oberlin Col lege in 1888. During the Spanish war he was a resident of Prescott, the rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church, when he received the appoint ment of chaplain of the Rough Riders organized in this city in 1893 He was with this command in the Cuban cam paign, and won the admiration of men on the firing line for his valor and assistance in caring for the wounded at the risk of his own life. A few months later he became nationally prominent, through his military and religious career, when he was ap- pointed post chaplain in the regular army.

GASOLINE EXPLODES;
 HORRIBLE DEATH
(From sundays palIyl

Charles D. Liggett, resident of this city several years ago, met with a horrible death at Manila, P l., on June 1, when a cask containing 6O gallons of gasoline exploded, envelop- ing him in flames It is presumed this compound was ignited from spark in his pipe, as he was in the act of taking from the supply few gallons for. an army officers auto while smoking. Liggett was hurled 30 feet and was conscious for a few minutes only. He enlisted in the navy in this city, and later was transferred to the army. His aunt, Mrs. B. D. Marrien, here from Salt River valley, received news of her ncphew's sad ending on Friday. He was aged 5 years.

GOLD DISCOVERY IN
 CHRISTMAS DISTRICT

CHRISTMAS, Ariz., July Y. - The old saying that "gold is where won find it." was never more strik- ingly illustrated than in the discovery made by s. o. Stewart on his group of claims adjoining the London-Ari- zona. Stewards find has precipitated a gold excitement such as the Christ mas district has never seen. Ore averaging $2OO ton is being shipped bv Stewart and several leasers to the Fl Paso shelter.
 It has been demonstrated that sort of volcanic blowout cutting across the length of, three claims IS rich in gold. It is formation such as no geologist or prospector in search of gold would look at sec ond time. Lava and white arsenical iron predominate and both carry gold, also silver and copper. Picking out specimens freely sprinkled with yellow specks is an easy matter. Al most everyoue in Christmas and Winkleman has his pockets full of specimens. Some of the gold is in the form of wire. Silver and copper values are also carried.
 Takes Out $1,OOO a Month.
 The lava and other volcanic forma- tions are so burned that they can easily be broken down with pick. Little powder is used. Stewart and one Mexican are taking out over $1,OOO worth of ore each month. He has given leases on portions of his ground and several of the leasers are also making big money.
 Stewards discovery was purely ac- cidental. Six months ago he was practically "broke" At that time he was working on a certain portion of his group where the indications were promising but he had no money to continue operations on big scale. In desperation he went over a hill and began to pick into the volcanic ledge that he had always before passed up as worthless. In few days he began to take out ore and he is now reap ing the reward of long years of toll in the Christmas and Troy country.

WANTS TO LEARN OFFI-
 GALS IDEAS ON LAND
(From Sundays Daily)

In a letter to William Stephens, chairman of the board of supervisors, State Land Commissioner w. A. Moeur says: q have just learned that the Annual Tax Conference will be held in Flagstaff on July %, and I have decided to be present, being de sirous of discussing all matters per taining 10 the general welfare of your country and regarding land matters"
 According to the above letter it is believed that the State Land Commits sioner wishes 10 get into touch and work together with the different SUI pervisors who will be present. The men from the different counties will be met, it is thought, and questions relating to state lands both towards disposing of them and caring for them will be talked over and definite plans formulated. The land com missions idea seems to be to gain the general concensus of opinion among the county officials on this matter.
 From Yavapai county the board oi supervisors, William Stephens, Harry Heap and Henry Suder, the clerk oi the board, R. T. Bclcher, County Assessor C. E, Gentry and his assist ant, Ed. Stephens, will attend the con- ference 10 be held at Flagstaff.

NEW SHELTER IS
 TREATING BIG TONNAGE
(From Sundays DaiIy)

The shelter at Clarkdale is at present treating over 1,4OO tons of ore per day, and furnace No. and No. ? reverberatory are to be blown in next week, which will increase the capacity to 2,5OO tons. The equip ment of the plant consists of four blast furnaces, five convcrters and three reverberatories, one of each of which is always to be held in reserve so that when the plant is running full blast there will be three blast furnaces, four converters and two re verberatorics in full operation. The plant is expected to produce 6,0OO,OOO pounds of copper per month, when in full swing.
 The work of dismantling the old United Verde shelter goes mcrrily on, and it is only a question of a short time when the final passing takes place. One furnace and one converter are at present being work cd to capacity, and will probably be maintained for some time, or so long as copper holds to the prevailing price. The plant stands on valuable ground, which is to be worked in the near future. Not because it is need ed, as the company has ample re serves, but because the oxidized char acter of the ore lends itself admir- ably to being smelted. - Jerome News. %

"Yours very truly, "J. C. CALLAGHAN,
 State Auditor"


 In addition to the above claims, one for $500 for postage stamps for the tax commission was filed with and returned by the auditor several days ago.
 A copy of the auditors letter of refusal, and of each of the claims submitted was tranmitted to Attor' ney George A. Stoneman late ycster- day afternoon by Secretary Boyce. The papers in the suits to compel payment were being prepared by At torney Stoneman yesterday, and 1t IS expected that they will be filed i'll superior court today.
 Although yesterday was pay day at the state house, but few of the attaches received their usual check from the auditors office. Officials and attaches whose salaries were not affected by the muddle were the only ones blessed with the usual stipend. Others tried not to look worried, but the opinion was expressed in many quarters that Hong dry spell was in prospect.
