GRAPHIC STORY OF
 IMPERIAL EARTHQUAKE

PHOENIX, June 25.-The most graphic and detailed account of the Imperial Valley earthquake which has yet been made public is contain ed in d letter received by Judge Jos eph H. Kibbey from his son, Walter B. Kibbey, who is engaged in the practice of law at Fl Ccntro. Un- der date of June B he writes of the earthquake which demolished build ings in the Imperial Valley:
 "The damage can hardly be esti- mated even now. There is not a business building in town which es- caped injury, and in my opinion, all but possibly two or three will have to be entirely rebuilt. A few minutes after s o'clock we felt a slight shock I remarked that I would like to see and experience one severe shock, pro- vided no damage would result The next instant the whole house seem ed to tilt on end, recover and tilt the other way, the chandeliers traveling first east, and then west, and while in motion the lights went out"
 After describing the escape of him self and neighbors from the building, he continues, "The earth was still rocking. The sky was almost instant ly filled with flames and the glare from the large Delta Mercantile wholesale house, which caught fire and was destroyed at a $9O,OOO loss. We could hear people screaming and the crash of failing buildings. One of the owners of that store lived just across the street, and his son, MT

JURISDICTION OF
 POLICE JUDGE DECREASED
(From Saturdays Dai1vl


 The jurisdiction of Police Judge Whisman is now greatly increased as the law giving police judges concurrent jurisdiction with justices of the peace within city limits has become effective
 Representative Sheldon A. Reed of Pima county introduced the bill in the lower house of the state legisla- ture which has become law without the signature of Governor Hunt on March "A, and which increased police magistrates jurisdiction.
 It provides, in amendment of sec tions 1939 ct seq. of the revised stat tutes, that there shall be created in every incorporated city and town of the state police court which shall have jurisdiction "of all cases arising under the ordinances of the city or town in which 1t is established and shall have concurrent jurisdiction with justices of the peace in the pre- cinct or precincts where said city is established over all violations of the laws of the State of Arizona commit ted within the limits of said precinct or precincts and of all civil matters arising in said precinct and triable therein as are now triable by justices of the peace and subject to the civil procedure of the State of Arizona in like manner as if said action had been commenced before a justice of the peace"
 The next section of the act pro vides that proceedings for the viola ton of ordinances or state laws, shall be by sworn complaint and that all fines and fees collected shall be paid 10 and enure to the benefit of the city. The third section gives right of appeal to the Superior court to either party.
 The police judge will have exclus- i've cognizance of the breaches of city as heretofore to which will be added the authority of jus tice of the peace in both civil aud actions. Civil suits may be brought before the police judge when either one of the parties to the suit reside within the city.

PUT DOPED DRINKS
 UNDER POLICE BAN

PHOENIX, June 25.-Following the publication of story of the dis pcnsing of liquor containing no alcohol but intoxicating, neverthe- less, Chief of Police George o. Brisbois sent an officer to the cstab- lishment where the real old-fashion- cd drunks were being manufactured and notified the proprietors that the sale of the decoction must cease. He let it be known that, notwith- standing the absence of alcohol in the liquor, there was d means by which they could be reached, and that this means would be employed in putting stop to its sale.
 Despite the order which was sent out carly in the day and the apparent shutting off of the sale of the intoXi- eating beverage the police succeed ed in landing at least one drunk. though it does not appear that his state of intoXication had anything to do with visits to the drink empori ums previously visited by the police

BELL CARTMELL AND R.
 COLYER BOUND OVER
(From Saturdays Dailvl

NfIOm OdluI udy Ddlly)
 Bell Cartmell, and Richard Colyer who are charged with stealing a desk from the Iron King mine near Hum boldt, were bound over to the Stu perior court yesterday under bonds of $500 each by Justice of the Peace McLane.
 The arrest occurred about three weeks ago and about week ago the evidence of the State against the two was heard by Judge McLane At that time Attorney Morrison for the al legged burglars asked for time in which to prepare his defense. Yesterday when the time came for him to pre- sent his evidence that the two were not guilty he waived defense declar- ing that the testimony presented by the State which is all circumstantial, was insufficient on which to hold Mrs. Cartmel1 and Colyer. On this basis he moved for a dismissal of the case. The motion was denied.
 Morrison in his argument for a dis missal asked McLane if he believed that woman of the high standing of Mrs. Cartmell, known throughout the town, could possibly be implicated in such an affair and if he could imagine her lifting a desk onto a wagon out of the office buildings of the mine? He also termed the entire case of the State as being very fimsy, gauzy and weak.
 Morrison declared he could see nothing for the justice to do but dis miss the case so he had decided not to make defense. County Attorney O'Sullivan related the entire story over and laid it before the magistrate, who apparently was convinced by O. Sullivan that the two should be bound over to the Superior court.
 After Morrison had heard the de cision of the jurist he declared that he knew very well that because of the weakness of the evidence thus far presented he could have the two re- leased by habeas corpus proceedings. He also said that they will have an absolutely perfect defense and he is more than certain that they will be found not guilty by jury of 12 fair and square men in the Superior court

GUGGENHEIMS IN
 GIGANTIC DEAL FOR MINES
(From Fridays DaiIy.l

The Guggenheim interests have closed the deal for the holdings of the Gila Sulphide Copper Company, in Pinal county, which adjoin the Lon don-Arizona, and extensive operations are now going on, with large equip ment also being installed.
 This transaction unquestionably is the heaviest one consummated in re- cent years in Arizona and from cop per mining standpoint will have a far reaching as well as beneficial effect on mining throughout the state. It is expected that these parties will prose cute large development on the Lon don-Arizona, and it is reasonable to suppose that in the near future an- other large producing copper property will be in evidence. The Christmas transaction is large one, and long time contract has been entered into.
 The operating of these properties means much to mining in Arizona, and at this particular time is an index of the wonderful possibilities of a field that offers such attractive possi- bilities for big capital.
 F. M. Murphy, who returned yester- day from Los Angeles, when seen at his office, was reluctant about going into details of this huge deal, although it is generally known that for many years he had been prominently identi fled with the Gila Sulphide It is only fair to assume however, that it is largely due to his efforts the prop erty has taken the satisfactory shape it has. MT. Murphy stated that there arc many other important mining matters crystalizing that are likely to mean much to this particular section of the state. He expressed himself as highly optimistic over the future of this section, and particularly the min ing outlook

HISTORICAL DEED IS
 RECALLED BY DEATH
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 The death of General John Gorham Chandler at Los Angeles during the week, is an historical event, which few of this day can appreciate, as he was the first man known to suggest that the first capital of Arizona be christened Prescott, in honor of the memory of the well known historian.
 General Chandler in 1860 or 1861, was a captain in the military service, stationed at Drum Barracks, now Will mington, Cal, and was ordered to escort Surveyor General Clark, by the war department at Washington, on a accommodating expedition to Arizona, for the purpose of establishing per manent seat of government for the new territory. The command reach ed Fort Mohave, on the Colorado river, several months later. From that post the expedition drifted for several weeks, and made observations of many localities, but without mak- ing a final selection for the first capi- tai of Arizona. General Clark was also military officer with the en- gineer corps, but on this occasion was clothed with a civil capacity, while Captain Chandler was designated to perform military duties only. The command of about so officers and men made many camps and finally located for several days at what is now known as Simmons Springs, in Miller valley. Returning to Fort Mo have, after supplies, General Clark, remained there for several weeks, and it was at this post when the name of Arizona's first capital was suggested by Captain Chandler. General Clark resumed his accommodating expedi- ton and retraced his steps to Sim mons Springs in 1863, when Prescott was officially christened as the first capital of Arizona. The townsite was laid off and embraced originally 16O acres. The first building constructed was known as the gubernatorial man. sion, where ali civil business was con sidered.
 After performing his military ser vice, Captain Chandler was ordered East, to take part in the civil war, serving until the close with the artil- lery. He finally reached the rank of a brigadier general, and retired in 1895. He passed through Northern Arizona as long ago as 1855, and per formed conspicuous service on the Coast He was aged S4 years, and had resided in Los Angeles since his retirement.

COPPER EXPERT
 WHO CALLED THE TURN
(From Saturdays Daily)

David L. Murray, mining engineer, passed through Prescott yesterday for Pinal county, and recalled his prophecy made last spring that 20 cent copper would be realized before July lst.
 This engineers version of the cop per situation was published ill an in terview at the time in the Journal Miner, and was treated rather lightly by several rcd metal skeptics of this locality. He believes copper will re- main stationary for the rest of the year around this price, and will begin huctuating gradually until a perman- ent basis of 16 cents is reached which will be maintained for several years. Mr. Murray is with Michigan cop pc company, and is making observa- ton in this state He returns to Pres colt later to look at certain holdings.
 He stated that Arizona mines, for investment, now rank as far more preferable than those of any state of the union, and the country's only handicap as considered by capital is lawmaking which prevents men of money investing.

COPPER LEASERS
 MAKE GOOD CLEANUP
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Thomas and Farnum, who have been working the Eggc mines, near Huron under a lease, have received returns of $1,625 from Hayden smelt- CTS from batch of 191A tons of cop per ore shipped recently.
 This splendid showing is some what noteworthy in mining, for the reason that this property is the first one known in that locality to be rat cd in copper possibilities, and the yield was taken from shallow work ings.
 Unusual mincralogical conditions are linked to the belt on which the Egge claims arc situated, by copper ores being determined for the first time known. A $7OO gold nugget was picked up in a ravine nearby several years ago, while within a stones throw is a silver formation from which many shipments have been made in recent years. The Egge showing in short, is another ilustra- ton of the diligent and practical leaser moulding a future in mining, and this mineral demonstration but paves the way for capital to enter and do likewise.

PRESCOTT GETS BOTH
 GOOD AND BAD MILK

An analysis of samples of milk sold to the public by nine Prescott dairymen which was received by City Health Officer H. T. Southworth from the state laboratory few days ago shows that some of the local milk dealers are putting up excel lent milk and others extremely dirty lacteal fluid.
 The bad milk may be taken with impunity by the adult, without bad effects, but the small child or baby is very susceptible and is likely to be affected by the impure milk, there fore it should be eliminated as speed fly as is possible, said Dr. Soutlworth in an interview yesterday. He also declared that during the hot summer months this dirty milk is of greater danger than at any other time of the year and that the frequency of diar- rhea among children during that peri cd is caused by the impure milk. Babies are the future men and women of the nation and one of the principal ways of preserving their lives is furn- ishing pure milk as impure milk dur ing last year was the direct cause of over 175 infant deaths in this state, according to the report of State Health Officer Dr. R. N Looney.
 According to Dr. Southworth there is certain amount of bacteria i'll all milk, even that which is pastcurMed, containing about seven or eight thou sand to every cubic centimeter. A cubic centimeter is 20 drops, third of tcaspoonful or one-thirtieth of an ounce. Certified milk contains not more than 10000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter. In the State of Now York. if dealer sells milk that con tains more than 50,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter he is prosecuted by the state while here the limit has been set at 100000 by State Health Officer Looney. Milk containing not more than 75,000 bacteria to the cubic cen timctcr is considered as good milk by the majority of health officials. The dirt is invisible and cannot be tasted but still it is there, greater amount in some milk than in others.
 Dr. Meservc, head of the state lab oratory, will establish an office in Prescott in about week and during the summer will analyze the milk of all dairymen of the northern section of the state.
 Prosecution of the man is also placed in his hands, he acting through the county authorities.
