MINES TO START
 UNDER NEW STATUTE
(From Thursdays Daily.D

The repeating of the mine lien law is having good effect already in this field, and several leases are being closed up, by which properties may be operated freely and without their owners being burdened with handi- cap that has necessitated practical abandonment of many prospects in this county in recent years.
 Yesterday Ed. Block was closing up two deals by which his newly ac- quircd mines in the Rradshaws would become active in short time. q closed the deal for six patented mines near Crown King, owned by Ms. Aranetta Hill, of Oxnard, California, on the ground that this owner refus- ed to permit me to operate without securing her, and after making several inspection trips, the sale has been closed. Under legal conditions now prevailing, these mines will become active. for the first time in many years. Two of the group are located as south extensions of the War Eagle and parallel the Nelson, three are first north extensions of the Fairview, and one is situated northwest of the Lincoln. Another lease to be closed up in a few days will be that of James D. Bryan, who will operate gold mine along Humbug creek, the owner refusing him permission over one year ago to go on the ground with out securing him fo- any possible ex- pense that might be incurred. Bryan, who comes from Socorro, New Mex ico, states the repeating Of the old law is as much of benefit to the leaser as to the owner.

NEW LAW POINT IS
 DECIDED BY COURT

PHOENIX, April IA. - That the
 Superior courts of Arizona have jur- isdiction to determine the ownership of Arizona corporations where action is brought against a nonresident de- tendant by substantive process, the corporation not being a party, was settled in the Supreme court yester- day when by a divided decision, that tribunal reversed Judge Lockwood of the Cochise court in the now famous Hook-Hoffman case By this decis- ion, the controversy over the owner ship of about a fourth interest in the rich Mexican mining property of La Democrata will now become an issue in Arizona courts. As determining point of law that has never been brought directly before any court, and which is therefore unique, this decls- ion is highly important one. It was written by Judge Franklin, Chief Jus tlce Ross concurring and Judge Gun ningham dissenting.

MISS DAY GIVEN
 VERDICT IN LAND SUIT
(Erom Wednesdar,s Dailv.l

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 The somewhat locally famous land litigation in which Aaron H. Powers endeavored to dispossess Miss May E. Day of a certain homestead tract of 16O acres, near this city. has finally ended in favor of this young lady.
 P, w. O'Sullivan as her attorney was officially advised Tuesday from Washington, that a decision by the interior department from the general land office, had been handed down to this effect.
 Miss Day is now qualified to com plete her entry, after nearly two years of litigation, in which Powers figured as contestant of her rights to hold and claim the land in ques- tion. He instituted proceedings be- fore the land office at Phoenix, and and was given verdict. Appealing from that decision Miss Day sought redress before the general land office, when the decision of the Phoenix land office was. reversed. Powers then appealed to the secretary of the in terior, and has lost in the court of last resort.
 Miss Day, it will be remembered, filed upon this tract of land that is situated to the west of Prescott a few miles distant and in good faith, according to evidence submitted, made improvements thereon, as well as was cultivation performed and legal residence established. For four years she had been the sole occupant, and she stated yesterday her purpose is to comply with the law and acquire this desirable property legally and for the purpose of making it home ultimately. She had expended sever al hundred dollars for this purpose in building a fence, erecting building, and otherwise improving the prop erty.

CRIMSON CAREER
 HAS TRAGIC ENDING
(From Wednesdays DailY.l

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Agnes M. Maloney, as she was so well known many years ago, while residing in Prescott with her sister, Mrs. Thomas Carrigan, was brutally shot down by her paramour, named Murray, in Los Angeles last Satur- day, and instantly killed. The man also took his life, blowing off the top Of his head with the same shotgun he used to slay the woman.
 This tragedy has all the colorine of wayward life of the man and woman, and the death of both is at tended with highly sensational doingS along the crimson trail.
 The woman in this case married T. N. Lantry in Prescott in 1893, but the union was short-lived. She se- cured divorce, and then drifting with the tide started a sensational career, in which she was summed by close relatives. Frank R. Lisembee was the next victim of the matrimon- ial yoke, in Maricopa county, and the divorce mill again started to grind and Agnes was as free as a bird. A man named O'Leary claimed her af- factions, for a brief career of illicit love, and finally Murray, railroad brakeman, met the same fate as many others.
 It is believed the double tragedy had its inception from two motives. The woman became tired of the man who loved her, and on the othe- hand Murray faced arrest for violating his parole on highway robbery charge. It is presumed he first killed the wo- man and then himself, the bodies be- ing found in a dingy room of cheap dwelling in the Russian quarter of Los Angeles. They had evidently been dead for over two days, as a light was seen burning constantly during that time. Press clippings from newspapers were among the effects of the woman found, and which conveyed a sordid tale of drifting from bad to worse, from Denver to the coast.
 When a resident of Prescott the dead woman was about 19 years Of age. She was admired by many, and was a vivacious brunette of charming personality Murray, it is stated, had left his wife and family for the wo- man he claimed to the last.

HUNT RECOGNIZES NEW
 BOARD OF PARDONS

PHOENIX, April 14-Acting on the recommendation of the new board of pardons and paroles, which was sustained Monday by the Supreme court, Governor Hunt signed 36 cer- tihcates of parole for prisoners at Florence.
 All of the men paroled had earned their paroles under the merit system by work on the state roads, having served for sufficient time in the road camps to entitle them to release un- der this plan. Recommendation for their parole, which were filed with the governor some weeks ago by the pardon board had not been acted upon pending decision in the Laird case.
 Governor Hunts action was the first taken in accordance with the rec concentrations of the new board. He did act on a recommendation to re- prieve the five murderers, who were to have been executed March 19, but instead of granting reprieves for a 3O- day period as was recommended, eX- tended the time to 70 days, on the ground that the time specified was not long enough to permit the Supreme court to pass on the Laird case. The mems reprieves expire May 2S.

FAMOUS COPPER CHIEF
 TO HAVE BIG PLANT
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(trom Wednesdays Dally)
 Of the many mines to resume in this county in recent months, and large deals to be closed up, that an nounced Monday affecting the cele- brated Copper Chief, near Jerome, in the movement decided upon to build large reduction works, outclasses in importance any similar transaction.
 The estates of Messrs. Hayden and Mignon, of Connecticut, owners, are to outlay at once vast sum of money in plant that will have capacity of from 150 to 200 tons a day in treating the immense tonnage that has accum- ulated from over ten years of develop ment. The type of works will be a stamp mill, and cyanide, 10 which will be added tube mills for grinding and other accessories.
 From Arthur Hendey, who for many years was in charge of this property it was learned yesterday that a conservative measurement of ore bodies available shows 100000 tons Of an oXidized, and at least 100000 tons of sulphide product. The values arc principally gold, with copper, silver and lead following in that order. The wives of the above decedents are the owners. and since inheriting these mines have expended thousands of dollars in annual title work and de- velopment. The group has many times been under option of sale, and at one time, many years ago, the late F. Augusta Heinz, of Buttee, it is stated, made an exhaustive inspection with his engineers. reporting favor ably, but the price was said to be rrohibitive. Guggenheim engineers as well as other copper Syndicate5 were desirous of becoming interested, but the obstacle of a set price could not be shattered.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
 ASSUMES NEW VERSION
(From Fridays DailYO


 Circumstantial evidence has been
 unearthed in Los Angeles which changes the aspect of the deaths ot Agnes Maloney and James Murray, and that the man and woman were victims of a cold blooded murder now
 seems to be conclusively established. The guilty one, however, is not known and only vague clue IS obtainable as to his identity. At the inquest held two knife wounds were found in Murray's head, and the blood stained blade of the knife used was picked up in an adjoining room of the residence where the crime was committed.
 Murray also had gun wounds on his head which he could not have in licted, as his body was lying fully six feet away from the big pool of blood in the room, while the shotgun used was in another corner under a chair. Physicians state that from the nature Of wounds on Murray's head he could not have moved after being shot, and that his body must have been dragged the intervening six feet from the pool of blood on the floor.
 Search for a well dressed young man about 25 years of age is now going on in the above city. Wit nesses have come forward who stated such a person was seen to leave the residence at an early hour the night of the tragedy and after enter ing a street car, made the following remarks to a friend: "Im going to make her keep that date with me to- night, and am coming right back afte- I go downtown, if she goes back on me, I'll bump them both off" /

ROAD FROM HERE TO
 GLOBE AT STANDSTILI
(From Fridays Daily.)

For the present negotiations for a road between here and Globe, the Gila county seat, are at a standstill and nothing can be done towards its construction by either county. The Gila county board of supervisors Is undecided and the local board of SUI pervisors will make no move until word is received from Globe agreeing to the proposition.
 The Gila county board through their clerk, Frank L. Gates, has noti- fled the Yavapai board that the prop osition was taken up at the last meet ing and it was decided to let the question remain undecided for the present. According to a letter re ceived by R. T. Belcher, the local boards clerk, from the Gila county board, at a meeting held April ,, with a delegation of Northern Gila county citizens present it was agreed to call an election for the issuance of $25G, GOO road bonds as soon as possible and it was further agreed that $50,O00 of the road bonds should be set aside for the north. Until the election is held and the question decided fay orably, nothing further can be done in connection with the building of road from Globe to the county line.
 The proposition in the first place was for this county to build road from Camp Verde to Fossil creek on the county line and from there the rest of the road to Globe was to be constructed by Gila county, thus gain ing direct communication between the two county seats.

 HAS BIGGEST GOLD MINE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

NTIOn l QuISQdE Ddlly.)
 ]. H. Robinson, secretary of the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress, returned to Pres colt yesterday from Mohave county. and verifes reports of the strike made by the United Eastern Mining Com pany, as without parallel in gold mining in the West. This belief is founded on the examination he was permitted to make of the zone where the extensive ore bodies have been developed.
 Robinson states the crosscut from the 307-foot level exposes an ore body of fully 27 feet, 12 feet of which gave values of $40 per ton. On the 463- foot level one ore body of 43 feet Is opened up, that runs from $20 to $3O per ton. The main shaft will be sunk g feet deeper, for a stump, when ex- plo.ation begins on large scale. This property Is situated on the Tom Reed belt. and is an extension on the northwest.
 Prom the rush that is on to tha; field, it is generally predicted another Cripple Creek is coming into exist ence. Some of the biggest operators in the country are arriving" he says.

VILLA BRANDED AS
 DESPOT BY LATE AIDE

TUCSON, April IA. - Francisco Villa i, as much a dictator in Mexico today as Huerta ever was. Governor Navtorena of Sonora is little better. Carranza has made many mistakes and has had no regard for the prin- ciples of the revolution, but at least he is not a bandit and assassin"
 Thus spoke General Juan G. Ca bral in explaining his course in ieav- ing the revolutionary army with which he has fought for four years. Gen eral Cabral has just issued a pam phlet giving his reasons for leaving Sonora, to which he was detailed by General Villa
 With the other generals of the revolution I attended the convention at Aguas Calientes and agreed to abide by the decision of that con vention. Villa agreed to abide by it also. but as soon as Gutierrez was installed as president, Villa began to intimidate him and to execute the officers of the convention who did not agree with him. Thus he killed the vice-president and the secretary of the convention and others in Mex leo City who opposed his will I came to Sonora as a supporter of President Gutierrez, but found con ditions there similar to those in Mex ico City Governor Maytorena called himself constitutional governor, but he had no congress and was virtually a dictator. The state was controlled by the Villistas and I could not well align myself with Villa and Maytor- ena who were virtual dictators and executed all those who opposed them.
 "Carranza made his first mistake when he left Gales in Sonora to rep resent him. Gales and Maytorena had been personal enemies and this action was bound to cause division in the state. Carranza was responsible for a similar division in Chihuahua and showed the same uncompromis- ing spirit toward the Villa faction as he has shown in his dealings with the United States. I fought for prin- ciples and not personality. There has been too much disposition in Mexico to make the revolution a fight for some individuals cause instead of battle for principles. Carranza has paid no attention to the agrarian problem or other great principles of the revolution. He has made his per 5onality foremost.
 "The present situation cannot last long. Lack of funds is the rock on which both Villa and Carranza will eventually be wrecked. The finances of the country have been so depleted that revolutions cannot be financed much longer and the lack of funds and resources and the depleted con dition of the country will force order out of chaos. I look for third lead CT to arise in Mexico and save the country from this wasting revolution. Right now Villa is the worst obstacle to such a movement"

HUNT AND ANTI-HUNT
 FACTIONS TO CLASH
(From Wednesdays Daiiy.)

(From Wednesdays Daiiy)
 A dispatch to the Fl Paso Herald from Phoenix, says:
 Trouble threatens the Hunt com bine that came near dominating the lower house during the regular ses- sion of the second state legislature. Three members want to be speaker. Unless Hunt can again bring his forces into line, and force two of the ambitious ones to quit the fight, the combine may go to pieces at the beginning of the special session, which is to open April 23
 Pinkley, of Pinal; Powers, of Mar icopa, and Proctor, of Navajo, are the three Hunt men who would dis place William E. Brooks as speaker of the house. There are IS men in the Hunt combine and Y who are perfectly satisfied with Mir. Brooks. If the Y have their way, no new speaker will be elected at the open ing of the extra session.
 It is of the highest importance to Hunt, therefore, that his supporters concentrate on one man. Either of the three candidates would be ac- ceptable to him and his task is to decide which can be elected with the least danger of disrupting the or ganization.
 There is a possibility that the house may spend several days at the beginning fighting over the speaker ship. But Hunt is an artist in lining up his forces and the chances are that the course of the combine will be fixed before the gavel falls at noon on the 23rd. At this time Brooks does not appear to have more than an even chance of retaining his posi- ton.
 Aside from the fight in the house over the speakership, the indications point decidedly to a stormy session. John Christy and oth- CT members of the opposition are in clined to take the stand of Represen- tative Goodwin and refuse to vote for an appropriation of any kind till the state has an adequate land code.
 At the capitol the general feeling is that every appropriation, assum- ing that the general appropriation bill will not be blocked by the anti administration crowd, will be cut to the limit The legislators will have to do but fight over appro- rriations and that, it is believed, will result in generous cuts.
 Estimating the length of the extra session is a popular indoor sport in Phoenix It is admitted that a gen eral appropriation bill could be passed in week, but the estimates run all the way from 30 to 60 days.
 Brooks Confident.
 MIAMI, April l3-SpeakeT William E. Brooks, who was in Miami today from Globe, smiled when shown the statements of the Fl Paso Herald upon the subject of the speakership contest. He did say, however:
 "The Phoenix correspondent of the Fl Paso Herald is a little off in his talk of that kind of lineup between so-called Hunt and anti-Hunt forces When the time comes for the election of speaker it will be found that I will be reelected"
