SARATOGA INVESTORS
 ARE WELL PLEASED
(Flom Fridays Daily.)

J. L. Deming of Crown King, presi- dent of the Saratoga Mining Co.,, an.l a factor in getting that property Ill action after many years of idleness, was in the city during the week to meet Dr. P. L. Parsons, R. C. Baker and w. J. Ladd of Des Moines, Iowa, associate members. All have con- cluded an inspection of their holdings in the Bradshaws, with which they are agreeably impressed.
 This company is introducing the Marathon mill to treat the dump Of the old Crown King mine, as well will Saratoga ores later be handled. The plant begins operating carly in Janu- ary, while the Saratoga will also swing into active development later.
 The reviving of this property is oc- casioning very much favorable com ment in mining circles of that region, owing to its attractive showing under ground, and its unprecedented ability to be a 'neavy producer from the ton mage exposed. Its main works are within few hundred feet of the south end lines of the Grown King mine.

COMMERCIAL MAKES
 RECORD SHIPMENTS
[From FridaY's DailY.l

At no time in the history of the Commercial mines of Copper Basin have underground conditions been so satisfactory to Major A: J. Pickrell, as at the present. Daily shipments are being made to Skull valley, that average s tons, and which are assur- ed for months to come, without talk ing into consideration what future de, velopment will provide.
 This output represents the heaviest tonnage ever handled and ii freight ing facilities were available, could be doubled daily. Thousands of tons of good grade of copper ore arc ready for breaking and according to reports new development only adds addition al interest to the future of this prop crty.
 Sulphides coming in in new work ings give to this holding an addition al attraction, indicating permanency, and the general outlook underground could not be better, is the report given by miners. The bringing of this property into its present state of production, and its exceedingly attrac- tive future, reflect what persistence and practical ability accomplish ill mines and mining, when under the di- rection of men like Major Pickrell.

RECORD DENOUNCES HUNTS
 PROMISES AS BLUFFS

Arizona is earning an unenviablc reputation for lawlessness. The hc- lion writers who for many years have been depicting this State or territory as the home of the bad man" had little enough justification for their as
 sertions in what were known as the frontier days here, but in this "eu- lightened' age they might find plenty of material for giving Arizona and .Arizonans a black eye" Nowhere else have the rules of independent civilization been so outraged as in Arizona under the administration or George w. P. Hunt, once, we blush to say, a resident of this county.
 The latest outrage against the right of tine people of the common wealth was committed Friday when Warden Sims, Hunt man, ignored the law and the mandates of the peo- pie by flagrantly violating his trust in his refusal to execute William Faltin, murderer. These occurreue- cs have become so frequent and so hagrantly audacious as to be sicken- ing to anyone who has the faintest respect for law, order and the will oi the people And the most disgust. ing phase of the situation is that Hunt and his cohorts commit these offenses against the people who have named them as their representatives with hypocritical pretense of aim ing at the public good. None of these men in public office was endowed with supreme powers of divination

STOCK IN THREE MEDAL
 GROUP ON MARKET
(From Fridays Dailv.)

Word was received yesterday from Phoenix by Attorney Richard Lam son for the Three Medal Mining Company that the corporation com mission had granted the company permission to sell 100000 shares of its stock. It IS now being sold by Robert E. Moore in Jerome and Clarkdale at Is cents per share.
 The company's property, the Three Medal group, in the Mineral Point district near Russell, just out of Je- rome Junction on the narrow gauge railroad to Jerome, is now being worked by small force of men. The main shaft on the property is down lO0 feet and the crew is working a wide vein of low grade gold ore which runs between SC and $7 per ton.
 The men behind the company which was organized short time ago are Dave Goodwin of Jerome, J. J. Stan ton and C. E. Johnson of Clarkdale.
 About Is years ago a great deal cf excitement was caused in Jerome and Clarkdale over the strike of pocket of gold ore in that district which ran $22,000 to the ton. The men in charge of the new proposition have great faith in their property and are con fdent that their vein will run mucn heavier in gold as depth is reached.

WALLAPAI WARD TURNS
 TRICK ON EDUCATORS
(From Thursdays Oaily0

There is nothing that savers of al untutored mind in the case of the Wallapai Indian boy examined by me at Clarkda1e last week for robbing the postoffice," said U. s. CommiS sioncr Rutherford of Jerome, yester- day, as he was passing through to Phoenix.
 This official went into details of the daring deed of this youth of only IA years, and stated that over $l,000 in checks had been taken from the box on the inside and while in the posses sion of the Indian, some neat pen manship in forgery, and also some crude conceptions of manipulating the get-rich-quick trick were disclos- cd. The names of the persons to whom the various sums were drawn, were forged on the back as cleverly as by an expert, and held good in be- ing cashed. The boy, however, went tOO lol, li4 oSNCld al SdSC9, ny SuDSllllt.- ing the signature of the manager oi big mining company for that of the one to whom the check was issued. The same name was placed on the back oi the paper to certify to its genuine nature. This conflicting chirography exposed the game and the arrest fol- lowed, The boy admitted his guilt and later conducted officers to four different caches where all the missing checks were recovered. The boy was educated by the government and seems to be making some speed iD keeping pace with the criminally in clined of tine pale faced race.

CHAMBER HOLDS
 ELECTION ON DEC. 14 EErnu, Eridn,r,e nail,r1

On December II, 1915. the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual meeting at which new directors will be elected. Every member is expected to be present. Twenty-Five new directors will be elected and from among them they will elect new set of officials, the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer.
 Last nights meeting was the first since the night of November 4, and little new business was transacted.
 Cooperating with officials of the agricultural department of the State University the chamber has sent peti- tions to Skull valley, Camp Verde and Red Rock to be signed by the farm CTS and presented at the meeting of the board of supervisors on Decem- Der 70, in an effort to get it to make ] donation of SIPS towards obtaining q farm advisor for Yavapai and Coco nino counties.
 The plan is one started by Superin- tendent Stanley r. Morse of the de partment of agriculture. The funds for the farm advisor are furnished partly by the United States depart ment of agriculture, the University, the Santa Fe and the two counties. The SIPS will be asked of the board as this county's donation and the Co., conino board is expected to furnish the same sum. The $250 is the dona. ton for but six months. Three rep resentative farmers and the dry farm committee of the chamber are to pre- sent the petitions to tine board.
 The question of whether or not the chamber shall adopt number oi recommendations to congress made by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce relative to changes in the present navigation laws of the United States in an effort to provide an Am crican merchant marine was referred 10 the legislative committee.
 Expecting over 500 members of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association to be present in Prescott at their tenth annual convention the chamber last night referred the question of en- tertainment for them to the reception committee with power to act. The cattlemen meet here for three days during January, 1916. the 10th, llth and 12th.

JUSTIFIES USE OF
 PROFANE LANGUAGE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily)
 After two hours deliberation jury of six men in Jerome last Tuesday afternoon freed Justice of the Peace w. A. Kearns of Clarkdale from the charge of disturbing the peace and using profane language, brought against him by J. NJ. Jenson.
 The case was tried before Justice IS. r. Denison and proved very inter esting, according to those returning from the copper city yesterday, as the defense did not deny that Kearns had used "cuss words" at Jenson, bur claimed that the justice was innocent because Jerson needed the "cussin. "
 Kearns was charged with having used profane language on Jenson while the latter was in his courtroom, arrested without a warrant being is sude or a complaint sworn to. The names applied to the prosecuting witness which the defense admitted, would not be. fit to appear in print.

ITALIAN OFFICER
 MAKING NOVEL JOURNEY
(From Thursdays Daily.

Lieutenant Alfredo Pecinini, of the 1 Italian army, arrived in Prescott on Tuesday afternoon, his mission being one of industrial research and having no war significance whatever. He was greeted cordially by resident countrymen, and while unable to con- verse in English, through an inter preter conveyed to officials his object and to others related an entertaining experience of his globe-trotting duty.
 He is commissioned by his govern ment to visit every known country on the earth and for four and one-l1alf years he has been treking all lands. | His time limit IS up in one and one. half years hence. He is bearing off cial authority which is unquestioned, and his passports give him clear en- try in and out of any land. He in 1 formed friends yesterday that to date only one nation had barred him from entering, and that was Mexico. "l stepped over the boundary line at Juarez from Fl Paso, Texas, how ever, and immediately returned to the United States deadline on the bridge; SO 1 had peep at the manyana country, at any rate" he said.
 This prominent Italian was very I ,-,,,.l a,o,,,o-aJ ,,.;t1, tbo ITp;ta1 States long before he set foot on its soil. This was due to thrilling cpl sode he passed through in Chili many months ago, when he and his two companions, French and Italian officer, were captured by bandits, and his life was only saved by the heroic act of the American minister to that republic His two friends, however, were shot down and killed.
 Lieutenant Pecenini will resume his long journey homeward today, visit 1 ing San Diego, Los Angeles, and 1 sailing in a few weeks for Japan. China will be visited, and he crosses Siberia i'll the last lap for Russia. From that country, he must pass through Austria to his home land. There is not way to divert or change the mapped out route, and fl the war is still going on when l get to the boundary line, I will be obedient to 1 the will of my superiors, and under take the task at the sacrifice of my life,' he said.
 The distinguished visitor is but 28 years of age. He stated that after his mission is finished ne will take up the study of English. q want to, and will master the language of a nation with which 1 am in love, and which is the greatest and grandest on this earth" he exclaimed with a fervor characteristic of his race.

when he was elected to office-each one was sworn to carry out the mandates of the people who elecrei them to their positions of public re sponsibility. That they should take the law into their own hands should be resented by every right-minded citizen whatever may be the view of the justice or injustice of capital pun ishment The most bitter foe of the capital punishment idea cannot hon cstly be in favor of lawlessness and that is what the matter amounts tc when a public official continues to mold his office and at the same time refuses to respect the law, voted by a majority of the people of Arizona, which says that murderers shall go 10 the gallows.
