UNCLE SAM TO
 TAKE HAND IN GAME

1 PHOENIX, April 7.-Bootleggers and bootlegging suspects gathered up by the county, in the recent cam paign, will be investigated by the
 federal authorities, according to a statement made by United States At torney Thomas A. Finn yesterday. Seven names will be presented to the grand jury by his office, out of list of sixteen submitted by the internal revenue department.
 Selling liquor without having paid the governments special tax is to be the charge preferred in these cases. In discussing the cases, Mir. Flynn brought out an odd phase, in that bootleggers who were formerly in the liquor business, and whose spec ial taxes are paid up until the end of tke fiscal year in June, need not fear prosecution by the United States. no matter how much they may get in bad with the state authorities.
 The indictments in the majority Of the cases will depend on whether or not it can be proven that the defend ants have been carrying on the busi- ness oF selling liquor" Whether one O. two isolated sales, indictable un- der the prohibition amendment will be the basis for a true bill under the federal, interpretation, remains to be seen. Records of convictions from the Superior court will probably not ! be accepted by the Federal court as proving the sale of liquor as a regular business unless other circumstances enter to confirm the facts sought by the U. s. prosecutors.
 Those whose names were written on reports handed in by the inspect ors under the internal revenue de- partment were Carlos Blanco, Henry Rosenstein, George Mullen, Jack Mo Cord, J. E. Sanders, Denny Taught, George Holmes and Al Acosta.

PIONEER SOLDIER
 ANSWERS LAST ROLL CALL
(From Thursdays Daily.)

 Advices have been received from the Soldiers Home at Sawtelle, Cali tornia, of the death last week of Geo. 1 E. Berry, who was admitted from Prescott, Arizona. His army record shows that he served with the First California volunteers in service in Arizona.
 The passing of this well known pioneer will be learned of with regret. He arrived in Prescott in 1863, with Captain Hargrave's command, which was the first infantry to garrison Fort Whipplc the following spring. In fact this body of military was the first to be sent to this section of Ari- zona. It went into the field at once, and for several years kept the Apaches at bay. Berry was a ser geant, and received commendable dis charge papers after three years ser vice. He later followed mining, and was the hrst to locate what Is now known as the Little Jessie in Chap arral, which in later years verified predictions made by Berry that it would be an attractive proposition when some method became known to treat the base ores.
 Placer mining occupied his time later, when his mechanical abilities were appreciated and he was made foreman of the old Curtis sawmills to the south of this city. The deceased was charitably inclined, and with a generous hand was free to give on any and all occasions. His death re- moves one of the historical figures of border days, and one also, whose kindly deeds he desired to be with held from channels of publicity. He was aged about 30 years, and his death was due to a shattered frame after years of privations on the frontier.

TO BOOST
 RATE ON COPPER
(From Thursdays Dailxl

PHOENIX, April 7- Notice of
 proposed advances in the rates on
 copper bullion and copper matte from points in Eastern Arizona to various
 eastern points caused the rate de- partment of the corporation commits sion to send hurry-up letters to the mining companies affected.
 The change in rates on copper bull lion would affect Globe and Miami, and unless suspended by the inter state commerce commission will take effect April P. The proposed ad- vance in the tariff copper matte on the Fl Paso and Southwestern would apply from Clifton and Morenci to Fl Paso and Deming and would re- suit in an increase of the existing rate of $4 to $4.25 per ton. The min imum of 4OO00 pounds for a carload shipment would also be raised to O. eco pounds. The new rates are pub lished to take effect April 30. Un- less the mining companies affected agree to take some action in protest the corporation commission will not protest the new rates.

COPPER OUTLOOK
 ENCOURAGING FOR STATE
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

N4 4Olll ObllN9 ICdllJ.J
 Lifting of the contraband on cop per by England should and will be a benefit to mining in Arizona, and it lis the concensus of opinion in manu- featuring centers of the eastern states as well as foreign shippers of this metal, a marked improvement in prices will result" was the statement made yesterday by c. Lewis Ho- garth, of Houghton, Michigan, who is visiting different camps in the state where the red metal is the main pro- duct.
 The first announcemtn of the ac- tion taken by England, sent the price up in one single day one cent pound higher, and later an advance of one half cent per pound followed. Ho- garth also stated that three essential conditions faced the future of copper to send it to higher price, contin- gent on the European war enduring until September. First Ordnance construction abroad is lively, and this metal is paramount to others, for allowing. Second Ammunition de mands copper. although this commod- ity must be used in limited amounts so far as bullet making is to be con sidered as copper projectiles are chased as inhuman and international law strongly prohibits its use. Third Copper and zinc have an affinity for each other, and in this metallic has reached that ad- vanced stage that economy demands one shall be associated with the other in hundreds of channels in manufac turing war materials.

POPULAR WOMAN
 PHYSICIAN IS DEAD
(From Fridays Daily.)

Friends in Prescott of pr. Martha
 E. Bucknell have been advised of her death, which occurred on Monday of this week at Los Angeles, at the ripe age of 93 years.
 It is said she was the first woman to practice medicine in California and also was one of the pioneers of that state.
 Mrs Bucknell came to California with her husband in 1850, from Bos- ton, the latter being a surgeon. A few years later her husband passed away leaving his widow but small sum of money to begin the struggle of life. She always liked the practice oi medicine, so decided to return to Boston to enter the college of Physic ians and Surgeons. Graduating few years later, she again crossed the plains and began her professional ca reer in San Francisco. Later she went to Los Angeles, where daugh- ter resided to spend her remaining years in quietude amidst the flowers of the southland.
 Of local interest is the death Of this prominently known and success ful woman physician of California, for the reason that she visited Pres colt for several weeks, many years ago, as the guest of her brother, Dr. i Oscar Lincoln. who also was physic- | ian, and at one time the owner of what is now the Valinda Rancho in valley, and as well was he one of the commissioners entrust- ed with building the present capitol ot Arizona. l

20-CENT COPPER PRE-
 DICTION OF MINING MEN

PHOENIX, April 6.-'rMining men are predicting twenty-cent copper in
 side of six months" said Tax Com missioner Thomas F. Campbell yes terday, after trip through the east ern part Of the state. Tn Gila. Gra- ham and Greenlee counties, condi tions are excellent in mining, farm ing and stock raising, and properity is already in evidence. At Miami, from eighty to ninety per cent of the full force of men is now at work in the mines, and at the shelter, and everybody is happy over the pros poets. Operations at Globe have been almost entirely suspended, on account of the water in the Old Dominion mine, and although pumping now seems to be the main industry there, it is being carried on as fast as pos sible and an early resumption is an ticipatcd.
 "In Graham county the prospects for splendid crops are excellent, and farmers are rejoicing over the out look. The price of wheat is going up, and other grains are also advanc- ing. A large crop of mohair was pro- duced this season, and is bringing very good returns. At Stafford there is a young chamber of commerce, only two months old that is doing splendid work not only for Stafford but for the entire Gila Valley.
 "Over in Greenlee county, more men are constantly being put to work at the mines, and smelters. Morenci and Clifton are both in prosperous condition, and business is improving all the time. In northern Cochise county the dry farmers are jubilant over the rains of the past winter, and the prospects for the growing season."

REPUBLICANS WIN
 THE PHOENIX ELECTION

PHOENIX, April 7.-Complete re-
 turns on the vote for commissioners
 indicate the election of Oscar T.
 Richey and George N. MacBean over
 F. A. Jones and Clinton Campbell in the municipal election yesterday. Through the untiring efforts of old line republicans, Messrs Richey and MacBean rolled up handsome majori- ties in the face of campaign by the Jones for Commissioner Club," that was untiring in the latter days of the campaign and which seemingly was destined to land the corporation com missioner in the city office.
 Clinton Campbell, the new man on the ticket, did not engage in an ac- tive campaign, and there was gen cral belief that Richey would be elect cd, so that the contest in the final days seemed to dwindle down to the question of whether Jones would be elected or whether MacBean would poll enough votes to defeat him.
 MacBean's campaign was conducted along conservative, business-like lines and the old line republicans, working for Richey, threw their support to him as opposed to Jones, democrat.
 While the candidacy of none was conducted along partisan lines, Rich cy and MacBean are recognized as republicans and their election means a victory for the republicans of this l city.
 It was a comparatively quiet cleo tion day. Out of the 6,000 or more citizens registered hardly 20O0 took of the opportunity to re- gister their wishes as to the com mission or to express approval or dis of the questions submitted relating to the repeal of Ordinances No. B. No. "A and No. 25 or the twenty-four proposed amendments to the city charter.
 Workers were out bright and early and automobiles were kept busy from early morning until the time for the closing of the polls. The republicans were the most in evidence as work CTS and to their efforts is attributed he victory of the two republicans who will be members of the city com mission for the ensuing two years.

LEGISLATURE IS RE
 STRICTED TO 2 SUBJECTS

PHOENIX, April 6.-In the gov ernor's proclamation, calling the leg islature to convene in special session on Friday. April g, only two sub jects are mentioned, the passage of a general appropriation bill, and fix ing the rates and providing for the levy oi taxes for the next two years. Under the definition of the constr tuition. the general appropriation bill Is only to provide money for the different department of the state, for state institutions, for public schools and for the interest on the public debt. This, it is pointed out, would include the state land commission, or Of the need of a state land policy, of which no special mention is made in the governors call Governor Hunt also refrained from any refer ence to the law providing for the semi-annual payment of taxes, indi- eating that he did not intend to leave a single loophole by which the legis- lature might return to the subject of mine-tax legislation.

STOCK SCOURGE
 WELL UNDER CONTROL

PHOENIX, April 7.-Though this
 region was never seriously threatened,
 stock growers of Arizona will learn
 with satisfaction that the government is getting the upper hand of the dread
 foot and mouth disease. A letter from H. H. Hicks, inspector in charge Of the Bureau of Animal Industry to President Dwight B. Heard, of Am erican National Live Stock Associa- ton, says: q am in receipt of bureau circular No 576 of March 30 which brings the work up to March 25. This shows four infected herds which have not been killed; one each in Ken lucky, New York, Ohio and Pennsyl- vania." Mir. Hicks quotes from the circular: While it is expected that isolated cases may appear for some time to come, it is hoped that soon the foot and mouth outbreak of 1914 1915 will be matter of history. Com paratively few cases have been dis covered during the past week and slaughter is practically completed for the present A few farms remain to be disinfected and careful examina- ton is still being made of stock near infected centers."
 The figures show that between the time of the outbreak last October and March 25 there had been slaughtered throughout the country, 124,14l ami mals. That number of animals does not, however, represent the total loss occasioned by the disease. The dam age to the quarantined states because of the disease and the interference with operations in the large stock yards cannot be so easily estimated.

MAY BE
 SOON BUILT AT BENSON

1
 BENSON, April 7.-While no def.
 mite information can be secured,
 every indication points to the build
 ing and early operation of shelter
 in Benson. Numerous rumors are afloat and while none can be actually verified, it is evident that they are based upon a groundwork certainly of known facts.
 About the first of the year parties who control large mining interests at Johnson camp, bought an option and lease on the old smelting property from the Merrill brothers. The lease was to terminate April lst. It has been learned that second payment has been made and the lease extend cd. The ores from this smelter will come mostly from the big camp of Johnson, about 25 miles east of here. Benson IS the nearest point to the mine where water and Aux can be ob- tained at nominal cost. Again the excellent railway facilities make Ben son an inviting point for the smelter. There are also large ore bodies in close proximity to Benson, which would be developed in the event of the smelter being located here.
 Everything is prosperous in the Johnson camp. In the Keystone mines they have recently cut into large bodies of extremely rich ores, on the strength of which the direct ors came out from Kansas City, and are now on the ground making prep aIations for extensive work. They have ordered new material and just recently placed big order with the Southwestern Lumber Co.,, of Benson, for lumber The Arizona Michigan, under the management of Mir. Tong, | is working three shifts. They are sinking a vertical shaft in prepara- tion to taking out a large amount of | ere this summer. The Black Prince, ! under the management of Dr. Bart | lett, is also making preparations for extensive work. Never did the pros poets for the camp look better, and it IS anticipated that the big work will be in full swing shortly. l

HOW ERRONEOUS
 IMPRESSION WAS CREATED
From Fridays Dali,

How the erroneous impression was
 created that he had deserted his wife
 and children, was explained yester-
 day by F. L. France, who wishes the
 circumstances made known to the
 public. Mr. France is engaged in the
 cigar and tobacco business in Jerome
 and left there on March g for Los
 Angeles on business trip, his clerk
 being left in charge of-th store.
 Just before I left Jerome" he said, q received letter from my wife saying that she and the children were all right. 1 knew of nothing to the contrary until I arrived in Pres colt from the coast on Wednesday, and called up my clerk over the phone. He informed me that lady had phoned to him stating that Mrs. France was sick and in the hospital. l went to the residence of Mrs. Prior, who has recently been taking care of the children and then learned for the first time of their mothers death. immediately made preparations to give her a suitable burial and the arrangements were just as complete as though we had never been estranged. My children are all that l have to live for, and I want to place the three little girls, the young est of the fve-in some good homes where they will receive a good edu- ,atiOn, and be given the care that 'oung girls should receive, and in order to accomplish this I would be willing that they should be adopted y the families in which they enter."

FILING FEE MUST BE
 PAID TO CLERK
(From Wednesdays Daily)

NLlOtlA W CullSSNdJ DdllN.) A question was raised recently whether or not a delinquent taxpayer should pay in addition to other costs assessed, filing fee to the clerk of the court when suit had to be filed to compel the payment of the delin- quent tax. To settle the matter it was referred to the attorney general, who holds that the taxpayer must pay the added cost for filing the suit, as in all other civil proceedings. His opinion follows:
 Your letter Of the 18th inst. re- ceived, in which you ask this depart ment for an interpretation of Par agraph 1924 Of the Civil Code 1913, upon the question:
 Must the Clerk of the Superior Court charge the sum of ten dollars ($l0O0) as his fee and costs against a delinquent tax defendant, who, after tax suit has been filed, comes into the treasurer's office and offers to pay the amount of his taxes and all costs due thereon"
 You are advised that Paragraph 3lS2 provides that the plaintiff in any civil action commenced in any superior court shall at the time of filing his complaint, pay to the clerk of the said court the sum of ten dol lars ($1OOO).
 Paragraph 1924 of the Revised Statutes of Arizona 1913 provides that fees charged for service rendered in the collection of delinquent taxes shall be the same as are allowed by law for like service in civil cases, which shall be taxed as costs in the case. Said paragraph also provides that all fees collected by any county officer under the provisions of this paragraph shall be by him paid to the county treasurer for the benefit of the general fund of the county, taking the country treasurer's receipt for the same.
 I know of no provision in law for the refund of any part of the costs paid to the clerk on the filing of a civil suit. am therefore of the opinion that the clerk is entitled to the same amount of costs in this case, viz: ten dollars ($l0), as he is permitted to charge in other civil | actions, irrespective of the amount of services performed, and that he is not required to refund any part of said costs.
 Hoping this will give you the de- sired information, l am,
 Respectfully yours,
 GEO. w. HARBEN,
 Assistant Attorney General.
