Diocese Of st. Paul. .

This brief account of Catholicity
in Minnesota comes to an end with
the appearance of the ecclesiastical
organization, which made its begin

and was continued under Bishop Gre

pal See of st. Paul. 1t is crafty
ing to us Catholics to know that
practically all of the early travellers,
explorers and missionaries were of
the same faith as we are. The Scan
dinavians of the 14th Century were
spiritual children of st. Ansgar and
professed the faith brought to them
by their national Apostle in the 9Th
Century; although their descendants

JONES RELYING
 ON YAVAPAI COUNTY
(From Sundays Daily)

P. s. Wren, superintendent of the Pioneers Home at this place, return ed yesterday from trip to Phoenix, his principal business being the in terests of that institution before the legislature.
 Asked as to the status of the home at the present time with reference to the old age and mothers pension law, he said that he believed there would be some way to perpetuate the insti- tuition. He was interested in making sure that the maintenance and i'm provement fund be provided for in the legislative appropriation bill which is to be passed before the state solons say good night" and said that the bill as drafted contains provision for maintenance fund of $15,0O0 and an improvement allow ance of $500. The fact that the home must share the fate of the mothers pension law makes no difference with reference to this appropriation, ac- cording to Mir Wren. The appropri- ation will be made, but whether 1t will be used is another question. He had a conference with the attorney general on the subject, and said that Attorney Jones was anxious to have the matter get before the Supreme court in some form which would set tie it for all time. The Goidwater bill is practically dead, and the attorney general says that the only procedure left is for some one to push case forward to the Supreme court. He expressed surprise that the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce had not before now brought its case to that tribunal, and said he had been depending on this county to prosecute the matter to finish

OVERDRAFTS NO
 LONGER ARE PERMITTED
(From Sundays Dal1y)

Within the last month many deposi- tors in Prescott district national banks and perhaps in national banks all over the country have been sur prised and pained to receive notices from banks that overdrafts are no longer permitted. They have called in indignation to inquire what has happened to their credit when they were informed that the national bank ing regulations do no longer permit national banks to give their patrons such accommodations.
 This order was issued by the comp trollcr of the currency on January A, In recent letter the comptroller writes: "The granting by some banks of accommodations in the form of overdrafts is objectionable and can not be continued by this office. The practice should cease entirely. To facilitate the accomplishment of this result. the subject has been taken up by this office with the banking de- partments of various states and these authorities have generally agreed to take the necessary action to secure the cooperation of state banks in at taining the end desired.
 You arc requested to adopt reso- lution directing that no officer or em- p1oye of your bank shall pay or charge to the account of any deposit or any check of such depositor when there are not sufficient funds to the credit of the drawer of the check to meet the same"
 Tn an accompanying circular the comptroller states that the annual overdrafts of the national banks of this country for the last five years averaged $27.OOO,O0O; the highest of any year was $47,O00,000.
 The comptroller notes with satis- faction that the amount last year was reduced to $19,O00000 and he trusts that as a result of the recent order the practice will be eliminated en- tirely.

WORK BEGINS TO
 REVIVE OLD ALVARADO
(From Sundays DaiIyl

The old Alvarado mining camp, in Fools Gulch, few miles to the cast of Congress Junction, is again in the sphere of activity, and If reports are credible, ill a few months it will as sume its old-time phase of being a lively center.
 Arrivals yesterday from that section stated that General Manager Durfee had arrived from the East, and was paving the way in an energetic man ncr to resume. A new wagon road is being built, wood is being hauled and packed from the adjacent mountains and rehabilitating program Is under consideration for the camp. Nothing was learned of the nature of the deal closed, or the consideration given, but this old and well known producer of early days, changing hands, with the large amount of equipment on hand and the many surface improve ments on the ground. indicates the amount involved to be quite heavy. Negotiations had been pending for several months.

LINING UP PLANS FOR
 FRONTIER CELEBRATION
(From Sundays Daily.)

Frontier celebration talk Is becom- ing very prevalent about the city. The selection of E. A. Kastner to manage the affair is meeting with general favor. MT. Kastner is noted for his push and energy. Few things which he takes hold of are unsuccess- ful. He never believes in overdoing anything, and the fact that he will have the last word in everything per taining to the celebration means that when it is over there will be clean slate.
 Mir. Kastner, when asked about his plans, said that they would be lined up definitely before very long. He will have an executive committee consisting of three men upon the shoulders of which will rest the bur den of the work. There will be other subordinate committees which will have charge of detail work, and from what the manager says it is probable each of these committees will be small. It is the belief of MT. Kast- ner that more effective and speedy work can be accomplished with small committees. Large committees are unwieldy They are hard to get to- gether, and from diversified opinions of twelve or fifteen men no better re suits can be obtained than from a lesser number.
 Another thing Mir. Kastner has done which will rebound to the sue cess of the affair is the making of a pre-canvass of the business men of the city and obtaining data upon which ke can base the fabric of his plans. He already knows where he can lay his hands on good help, both financially and otherwise, and, know ing the size of his cloth, will cut his garment accordingly.
 It is the general opinion that the celebration this year will be a won derfully successful affair.
 People in the southern part of the state are already commencing to make inquiries concerning it. In fact many letters are coming from all di- rections asking if Prescott will cele- brate Many of these come from peo- pie who expect evidently to take this into consideration in connection with their plans for their summer outing. It is thought that on this celebration depends, to a great extent, the mum Der who will make Prescott their summer home.
 While the wild west feature will take the lead on the program, 1t has been given out that this year there will be greater variety in the amuse- ment features than last year. It is too early yet to give out the different lines upon which these diversions will extend, but they will include classes of field sports which have not figured very heavily in previous events in Prescott.

DANIEL DENIES
 NON-SUPPORT CHARGE
(From Sundays Daily.)

Claude B. Daniel has filed an answer to the divorce complaint of his wife in the Superior court, with the evident intent of contesting the case. The complaint was filed Febru- lry 12th by J. E. Russell, attorney for the plaintiff, in which it alleged that the couple were married at Ros- well, New Mexico, March 1, 1903, and that for more than one year previous the husband had neglected and re fused" to provide for the plaintiff although having the ability to do SO. There arc no children i'll the family. It is understood that the wife is at the present time working in local restaurant.
 Daniel alleges in his answer that the charge of non-support Is untrue, admitting all the other statements i'll the complaint, which refer simply to the place of residence, time of mar riage, etc.
 Another Answer.
 In the case of w. J. Bleisner vs. George A. Carter, the latter filed an answer to the complaint. through his attorneys. yesterday. The complaint alleges that Carter is indebted to Bleisncr ill the sum of $580, for arch itcctural work in drawing plans for a residence on the ranch of the defend ant, d credit of so appearing on an account for 5000 Interest at the rate of per cent is also demanded from April 1, 1912, the time when the draw ing is alleged to have been completed.
 The answer is in the form of de- murrer, setting up the claim that the allegation in the complaint to the cf- feet the plaintiff is a resident of Yav- apai county Is incorrect, and that the stated facts are insufficient upon which to base complaint. It fur ther denies that Carter ever agreed to pay Bleisner any sum whatsoever for the drawing of the plans, or that he Is in any manner indebted to the plaintiff.

WATCHING CROWN
 KING PLANT CLOSELY
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
 State Mine Inspector Bolin, who recently paid a visit to this section of the state, speaks in an interesting vein concerning mining develop ment in Yavapai County. The prin- cipal object of his trip was to look over the United Verde property at Jerome, but incidentally he took ad- vantage of his visit to note some of the conditions aside from this great mine.
 He says that an interesting feature of development work in Yavapai county at the present time is the new plant in the process of installa- tion at Crown King for the treatment of ores by the electrolytic process. The company which has this project under way claims that all ore values can be extracted by such course of treatment, and MT. Bolin thinks that if its contention prove to be well founded it will mean a big thing for the whole district, and a course which will probably be initiated generally over the state concerning the grade of ore which is now not handled. Many grades of ore are being taken from the mines which cannot be worked at all with profit, and this new process is depended on to place this stuff in the profit column. The Crown King experiment is attract ing great deal of attention by local mining men, and it is stated by many in Prescott that if it proves success ful there will at once be many such plants installed in this part of the state.
 Verde Increasing Output.
 Inspector Bolin, speaking of the United Verde, stated that this com pany is putting more men on all the time. The United Verde at no time since the commencement of the cop per depression suspended operations to the extent that other copper mines did throughout the state, although some curtailments were necessarily made. The company, however, made few curtailments so far as develop ment work is concerned. It will be but a very short time until the plant will be running at its maximum ca pacity.
 Ray Also To Front.
 Word has reached Prescott from the Ray district to the effect that the Ray Consolidated Company, which recently made extensive operative reductions, has advanced toward its normal capacity until seven units are at work now handling seven thousand tons of ore per day.
 Mining men in Prescott are more than happy at the prospects for the coming summer. From every section of the state they are hearing of in creased activity. All the old plants are getting back to normal produc- ton and many of them are making arrangements to increase the capac- ity of their operating departments. It is said that if the copper regions of Arizona do not boom from this time forward, and many new prop critics open up, it will be entirely the fault of the people who are inter ested in the mining business and have money to invest. The Hack of con fdence" period has passed; likewise low prices for the red metal is by gone incident.

the reduction of expenses in the state engineers office.
 It is costing $28,93169 to maintain this office with four assistant en gineers. The bill provides for re- duction of the number of assistants and the placing of road work in the hands of the individual counties, which shall have their own road officials | The centralization of authority, how ever, remains in the office of the state engineer
 Senator Sims argued that the. over head charge was altogether too high and pointed out that with county en- gineers to do the work it is absurd to have it all done over again by state assistants. Apache and Graham, it appeared, have no county engineers, and these counties, he said, could be taken care of by the state engineer or from Washington.
 Senator Stapley said that it cost $70O0 a year for every assistant en- gineer The bill was reported ad- versely by the finance committee, but the committe of the whole recom- mended its passage.
 A number of bills were referred to committees, and Senator Munds (Ya- vapaD, endeavored to resurrect the theatre license bill for the relief of amusement purveyors permanently established. The attempt to have the measure, which was indefinitely post poned few days, reconsidered failed by tie vote.
 In committee of the whole, Senator Webb (Maricopa) in the chair, it was recommended that senate bill No. 42, introduced by Senator Sims (Co- chise), do pass"
 This bill makes it all offense to ob- tain money or other property, with intent to defraud, by drawing check or other negotiable paper upon de- pository when the person uttering the paper has insufficient funds on de posit to meet the same.
 When the amount is more than S100 the offense is made felony pun shable by a fine of not more than S50OO and imprisonment for not more than five years. When the amount is less than $100 the punishment is I fine not to exceed $500 and impris- onment not to exceed six months.
 New House Bills.
 The few minutes the house was in session suficed for the introduction of the following bills:
 No. 1O2 by Representative McClain (Maricopa) provides for the burial of indigent veteran soldiers by county boards of supervisors; the cost there of not to exceed $50 being a charge against the general fund of the state.
 No. 103 by Representative Austin (MaricoPO by request provides for an extra deputy for the clerk of the superior court.
 No. 104 by Representative Sweeney (YavapaD seeks to create a depart :nent of labor ruled by Commission er of Labor to be elected for two years at a salary of $240O per year; a deputy at $500 and other necessary employees.
 The act provides that the commis- sioncr shall immediately investigate all labor disputes and report to the governor" and shall keep himself in formed on the industrial, social, edu- cational, moral and sanitary condi- lions throughout the state:
 The commissioner is also made ,hief arbiter in strikes, lockouts, or industrial controversies. Two other members may be appointed; one by the labor union involved and the third by the employer.

 New Senate Bills.
 In the senate this afternoon Sen ator Webb introduced a bill provid- ing for the taking of the census of counties of the first class, which means Maricopa.
 Senator Munds introduced a bill providing for an educational survey of schools
 Senator Karns introduced bill providing for the building of bridge across the Santa Cruz river.
 Senate bill No. 49, introduced by Senator Martin (Pima) relative to the transmission of county funds to the state treasury, was indefinitely postponed
 Senate bill No. 4, relating to Su- perior court fees, was passed finally by unanimous vote. Senate bill No. 38, introduced by Senator Karns Santa Cruz) remit ting to building and loan associations unpaid taxes assessed on the stock and providing in lieu thereof prop crty tax, was passed finally.
 The senate then resolved itself into committee of the whole for the con- sideration of senate bill No. AS, which is the Stapley bill, abolishing the board of control and centralizing the administration of state institutions under board of public welfare, and providing for the appointment of a purchasing agent.

PHOENIX, Feb. IT, A sleeping potion was administered to the mine tax bill by the house this morning and the propPsed measure passed into the legislative sleep that knows no awakening. The vote was Y to 17, and it is conceded that if As semblyman Briscoe, who is sill with the smallpox, had been present he would have registered his vote in the negative. The vote on final passage was as follows:

 The fate of the mine tax bill ob- scured other business in the lower house of the legislature at the morn- i ing session. It was pretty definitely known how each member would vote, | but it was so close that the change of d single vote would have meant the passage instead of defeat of the bill and its opponents did not breathe easily until the record was complete
 Representative Graham (Cochise) fired the first gun when he moved tc recommit the bill to the judiciary committee This motion came early in the proceedings and was ruled out of order. After the reading had com menced Graham renewed his motion but afterwards, satisfied that the votes against it were secure, he with drew the motion, and from that time the long act was read with but few interruptions.
 There was no debate on the fina passage, although Representative Francis (Cochise) availed himself O his constitutional prerogative anC read into the journal his reasons fol . voting against the proposed law. The killing of the bill leaves the mine ta2 situation just where it was, for houst bill No. II paralelling senate bill No 15, has been indefinitely postponed and there is now nothing before tht : legislature on the mine tax problem

Tests Demonstrate Value
of Electrical Propulsion

Washington, d. c., May Lieu
tenant Bryson r. Bruce, a graduate
of the United States Naval Academy,
who completed last year post
graduate course in the Graduate En-
gineering School of Columbia Univer-
sity, has been appointed by the Naval
Department to the important post of
chief engineer in charge of the United
States collier Jupiter. This vessel is
the first electrically propelled ship
used by the United States govern
ment and important tests are being
carried out with it. The success of
these tests has induced the govern
ment to install similar electrical pro-
pulsion apparatus in the new battle
ship California. This will be the
largest installation of it's kind in the
world.
BY the recent tests which have
been made with the collier Jupiter,
under the direct supervision of Lieu
tenant Bruce, it has been demon
strated that the electrical propulsion
apparatus increases the speed of a
ship with less weight of machinery
and reduces the consumption of coal
by one-quarter as compared with re-
ciprocating engines. Skill in maneu-
vering ship is also enhanced by rea-
son of the fact that the navigating
officer, standing on the bridge, can
regulate the entire apparatus by but
tons at the wheel without any inter-
mediate signalling.
