DISMISS CASE
 AGAINST DONA BOWEN
(From Fridays DaHy.)

Taking the stand and corroborat- ing the statement he made Wednes- day that he h ad beaten up Dona Bowen, Ed Carter, the negro who was stabbed by her, yesterday caused Assistant County Attorney Morgan to move that the charge against the woman be dismissed. Judge Me Lane, acting favorably for the de fendant on the motion, freed her.
 Carter, while on the stand, told of going to the crib of the woman very frequently and said that on the day she stabbed him he woke her up early that morning and quarreled with her because she had been away the night before. He said that the quar- rel in the morning ended by skipping her face, and returning at noon to fight with her again over her ab' sence the night before. At noon he said that, after skipping her, she grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the chest. Carter said that he has been married for five years, and that his wife is here in Prescott, and that they have two small children. He is 2S years old and came here from California during the first part of last May.
 Dona Bowen, the defendant, with tears in her eyes, testified that Car ter had awakened her in her bed on the morning of the day she stabbed him by skipping her in the face. At noon, she said, he returned and again started striking her. She said that she pleaded with him to stop, but when she found that he did not in, tend to she stabbed him with knife that was lying near her on a trunk,
 Before either of the principals in. the case had testified a number oi, negroes and women of the tenderloln, who had been subpoenaed, were placed on the stand, but none of them seemed to know anything about the affair or were present when it hap pened. Attorney Richard Lamson represented the defendant.

SPORTING GIRLS ARE
 BOTHERING WICKENBURG
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Complaining that sporting girls just across the Maricopa line from Wickenburg and in Yavapai, are caus- ing trouble an unsigned letter arrived at the board of supervisors yesterday asking them to take up the matter. No action will be taken on the letter, which follows, because it is anony- nous. It is signed by the "Womens' Club"
 "Wickenburg, Sept. g, 1915. Supervisors Office:
 "As we have been suffering for some time on account of the flucies, or better say, saloon girls, and as we know they are private we thought of writing to you about the same to see if you could send a detective to enforce the law. Things are getting real out of order just above the coun- ty line in Yavapai, where they have games of poker, girls, etc, and where OppOSlle Is ldnIlly "i'4 N who have to observe everything. We write to you not knowing the address of the sheriff who could stop this at once. The girls will reside here for three or four days more, SO It you will come at once you could know. The party who wrote this does not want their name mentioned as they do not care to get into trouble. But it is a club of some women at Wickenburg who would it if you would hand this letter to some one who could act in the matter.
 Yours truly,

RUTH REDUCTION
 PLANT NOW ASSURED
(From Sundays Daily.)


 I. R. Slack, who arrived yesterday from the Ruth mining camp, six miles to the south of this city on Indian creek, reports several mechanics em- ployed in constructing the new re- duction plant, which will have a ca pacity of treating 50 tons of ore per day.
 A large Huntington mill and sever al concentrating tables are being in- stalled, and a new smelter will be added later, giving the combined plant a perfect system of treatment. This move is to reduce the cost ot transportation of the product to the market, and obviatcs heavy expense in freighting and railroading.
 Speaking of the mine showing, Mir. Slack, who formerly operated the Ruth, under lease, stated an inn mense tonnage has been developed by w. s. Wilhelm, manager of the Arizona and California Mining Com pany, which purchased the property, and the high grade values in zinc, lead and silver practically insure sue cess. During mill construction, mine work is suspended, but resumption be- gins with larger force than before after the new plant starts operat- ing.

WALDRON MAKES BIG
 SHOWING ON BEAR (Erov, Saturdays DsiiYl

Arrivals from Crown King during the week stated that another mine, the Bear, owned by the Montezuma Mining Company, was attaining merit ed consideration by the ore body being opened up in the lower or tun- mel No. 2, which proves quite a CO., incidence in notable determinations made recently in that field.
 The Nelson hit the shoot under similar conditions ill the lower tunnel also. While the Bear is not as big as the Nelson, however, the showing is satisfactory to J. P. Waldron, the president, who is on the ground, and whose persistence 1t would seem is at last to be rewarded. The ore body developed is four feet in width, and general sample cut gave $l3.9O in gold and silver to the ton. This val uation is conservative.
 The history of the operating of this property is another reflection of prac- tical ability, demonstrating the wis dom of deep mining. The Bear had been developing for over three years, and the third contract for extending the tunnel to tap the ore shoot is now under way. Limited surface de velopment on the apex of the range warranted the heavy outlay of capi- tai that has been made to run the main or lower tunnel, and the theory of WaIdron has at last been sub staHtiated. Samples of the ore in the city show desirable smelling product. A mill site has been graded, and it is quite probable the company will erect a plant. The Bear group was patented after being purchased by the company, and the camp IS within two miles of Crown King.

(From Saturdays Daily)

Ed. Block. who has returned from his Fairview mines in the Brad shaw mountains, stated yesterday he has filled 500 sacks with ore, and 1000 more are to be sent out to clean up the dump, when shipping will begin. He also stated the miner is scare in that field since many mines are reviving, and for the first time in many years he manipulated" the shovel for full eightLhour day. He is quite enthusiastic over this property since the big Nelson dis covery, the Fairview being the first north extension, and less than 1,6OO feet away from the point where the Nelson tunnel opened up the big gold ore body

BEE EXHIBIT TO BE
 FEATURE AT THE FAIR
(From Saturdays Daily.)

CFrom Saturdays Daily.)
 It is the intention of w. E. Wood ruff, of Cottonwood, to make a dis play of honey, wax and other apiar- ian products at the Northern Arizona Fair. It is very probable a colony of live bees Gin screen cage, of course) will be exhibited and 1ec- ture given once day. At other fairs where such an exhibit has been held it has proven to be equal to side show in its drawing power-for peo- pie are naturally curious to see the manipulationS of live bees. This mat ter has been referred to MT. James A. Hope, manager of the agricultural department.
 Although it IS very doubtful wheth- CT the fair association can procure a troop of cavalry for participation in the fair, owing to the unsettled con ditions on the border, the secretary was instructed to ascertain the cost of transporting company of infan- try from Fort Sam Houston.
 It is very probable that several strings of horses from Tucson will be entered in the racing events, ac- cording to a letter received by Miss Sparkes from Secretary John F. Mey- CTS, of the Southern Arizona Fair. He has personally talked with J. J. Ken nedy, of Willcox, and has endeavored to interest him in sending one or more of his string of runners. It is probable that Sam Davis, of the Tue son stables will also enter string. A feeling of shyness seems to exist among the southern men in entering their horses, as it is generally under stood that some very fast horses arc to be entered in the various events. Doc Pardee, however, is in touch with these gentlemen, and every effort will be made to try and interest them in the fair programs. A. J. Stanley has written from San Francisco that he has just recently shipped a string to Los Angeles and is desirous of hay ing definite information as to the To- cal races. w. J. Ahrens, of Tucson, is anxious to stage marathon race in Prescott during the fair. This matter has been referred to Arena Director Pardee.
 All women interested in the fair should make it point to procure premium lists, which can be had at the Chamber of Commerce office, and should begin now to prepare their exhibits. It is earnestly desired by those in charge of the various de partments that the women take an active interest in the woman's de- partment this year, as has been done in the past. Any information desired will be gladly furnished by either Mrs. Beyerle, in charge of the culin- ary and pantry stores; Mrs. Harry Colvig, textile fabrics, or Mrs. Rich ard Lamson, of the art section.

ORE
 FINDS READY MARKET
(F1om Fridav's DailY.)

That the fame of the new hubner- ite mines of Yavapai county is travel ing far and at rapid pace, may be judged from the inquiries reaching this section since the big discovery was made a short time ago, in Eureka district, and the bringing to this city of the first product.
 The owners of this valuable prop crty have now on the road to the East, a shipment of exactly 3,455 pounds, and for which price of $25 per unit was quoted them to author izc the immediate marketing of this metal. It is practically pure, and at the above figure will return value of $2,764. The space occupied in the car was less than six cubic feet, a very small measurement when a big sum like the above is to be con sidered It is quite probable still higher price than the above will be received, and on basis of $50 per unit expected from the keen demand said to be prevailing, this small batch of ore will bring the amount up to S3,316.9O.
 The owners of this property, Will fam Connors, H. R. Wood and Will iau Lawler, stated yesterday the re- sources of their holdings are of an i'm mcnse tonnage, and they are prepar- ing to bring in more shipments at once. One sack of this ore is to be placed on exhibition at the Northern Arizona Fair in this city in Oc- tobcr.

SHUTE DECISION IS
 SUBJECT OF ARGUMENT
(From Fridav's Daily.)

TUCSON, Sept. 23.-The Tucson Daily Star says:
 The recent decision of Judge Shute, of Globe, to the effect that liquors can be imported into the State for personal use, based on a recent de- cision of the United States Supreme court in the Adams Express Com pany case from Kentucky, is being discussed with much interest by local attorneys.
 The decision of Judge Shute was given in the case of Sam Yshura, Japanese, who was accused of intro ducing liquors into the State, but who was not alleged to have done so for the purpose of selling or giving them away. If was not shown that the defendant had introduced the liquor into the State for any other purpose than personal use, and it was upon this point that the ruling was made.
 So far as known, this is the first case in which a test has been made of the right to introduce liquor into the State for personal use. It is be- lieved that a ruling can quickly be secured from the State Supreme court on account of the interest in the case.
 County Attorney Hilzinger refused to make any comment on the ruling, but was much interested in it. He stated that he doubted whether any but authorities in border counties could prosecute for the offense of introducing liquor into the State in any case. He has received the recent ruling of the United States Supreme court on the recent Adams Express Company case from Kentucky on which Shute's decision was based.
 County Attorney Johnson, of Gila county, wrote to MT. Hilzinger re- gently that it was his personal opin- ion that the law could not be con strued to cover the introduction of liquors for personal use, although heI stated that he was upholdfng the law as generally interpreted. It is also understood that County Attorney. Ross, of Cochise county, holds the same opinion as to the introduction of liquor for personal use and in his complaints always specifics that the introduction was for the purpose of sale or giving away.
 Attorney A. A. Worsley stated that he had noticed that Judge Shute was. generally correct in his rulings, hay. ing very few reversed.
 Jones' Views.
 PHOENIX, Sept. 23.-In spite of. the recent action of the Superior. court of Gila county in "personalH use" liquor case, Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has notified all the county attorneys of the State to con tinue to enforce the prohibition. amendment without reference to. whether the liquor is introduced forH personal use.
 Although notice of appeal has been filed in the Gila county court, the attorney general stated yesterday that he did not expect to carry the case to the Supreme court. A better com-t plaint in which the question of the introduction of personal use would be- clearly defined would, he said, be taken into the Supreme court for decision. Meanwhile county attor- neys, with the exception of the Gila county prosecutor, are instructed to stand pat and enforce the law, re- gardless of personal use" eXplana- tions.
 The case in question is brought by the State against Yam Yahura for introducing intoxicating liquor into Arizona.

CUSTER SUIT IS FILED
 AGAINST CAMERON

PHOENIX, Sept. 24-That the government is determined to bring to some sort of a settlement, the liti- gation over alleged mining claims held by R. H. Cameron, in and near the Grand Canyon, is evident from the fact that an entirely new action was begun yesterday by the United States attorney, in filing an custer suit before Judge Sawtelle, in connec- ton with the claim known as the Cape Horn"
 This suit is not an outgrowth of the contest proceedings that have been instituted against Cameron in the United States land office, and which the Cameron interests have got into Federal court on plea of no jurisdiction. As the cases now stand, the United States has three separate legal combats with Cameron, impend- ing. The first to be heard, will be the suit over the Cape Horn loca ton, called for Saturday before Judge Sawtelle at Tucson.
 The government maintains that Cameron applied for patent several years ago, the patent was denied on the grond the land was not proven to be mineral bearing, and in addi- ton, the U. S. land office voided the location. On the assumption that the government could deny patent under these circumstances, but could not void his location, Cameron has held to the ground which is of com manding importance ill connection with the livery business at the Grand Canyon.
 When the patent was denied, and the location declared void, the gov ernment holds, this tract of land re verted back to the Grand Canyon na- tional monument, where 1t was not available for further mineral loca- ton.
 The hearing on the amended bill of complaint, on which the defendant hopes to secure an injunction re straining the land office from taking jurisdiction in a contest is set for October II, and will be held here. And the hearing before the land of- flee of the defendants evidence sup porting the propriety of his mining claims against the governments con tention they are not mineral, will be begun on October IA, unless unex- pected legal delays are interposed.
 In connection with the land office contest, the defense has objected, not on the ground it had a right on the land, but on the ground that an i'm proper legal means was being taken to oust it. It was claimed that To- eating a mining claim gave man a certain vested right in the land, and that he was not morally obliged, to secure title through patent. And it was held that to attack vested rights. the contestant must take his case before a court, rather than a land office. In this matter of jurisdiction Judge Sawtelle held the land office did have jurisdiction, but gave pc titioner time to file an amended bill. It is this amended bill that will be heard October II.
 The other objection, that no loca- ton could be attacked before patent had been applied for, is met in the latest suit, although attaches of the United States attorneys office deny that this action is an outgrowth of the previous contests on the other claims, for which no patent has yet been sought.

FEDERAL GAME LAW
 IS TO BE ENFORCED
(Ernm FridaY's DaiIYl


 The smell of cool September morn ings-what about it? Ducks, that's all Ducks, and meanwhile much hauling out and amounting of guns and many quiet thrills of anticipation. If you do not know what this means, ask the man with the gun. He knows and there are 5,0O0,000 of him in the United States.
 Of all sportsmen, duck hunters are perhaps the most ardent devotees of their chosen pastime. If this is true, it may be said that of all forms of sport, duck hunting gives one of the most genuine and therefore one of the most valuable forms of recreation. In these days of brain-fag and worry, a form of recreation within the reach of all pocketbooks takes on an enormous public value, and duck hunt ing is surely in this category. But its permanent value as form of rec reation depends on ducks. How long will the ducks last? With good laws and moderate bag limits well en- forced forever. Without these, only very few years. These are the con clusions of great majority of well informed and public-spirited sports men, and are based on experience.
 Experience, for instance, has al ready shown that the enforcement of the Federal migratory bird law, which eliminated the deadly practice of spring-shooting, has already inn proved the fall shooting in many To- calities, including most parts of Ari- zona and New Mexico. During the past summer ducks have nestled and reared big broods of young where formerly they were driven out and went far north to nest. These To- cally raised young birds make the shooting begin earlier in the season and the increased number of birds from the north make the shooting better throughout the season. The migratory bird law therefore deserves the hearty support, not only of sports men, but of the public.
 With the approach of the open sea son, the United States Department of Agriculture is warning sportsmen that the Federal law will be strictly enforced. Some misunderstanding has arisen from the fact that State laws of Arizona and New Mexico do not conform to the Federal law. Tn such cases the Federal law, of course, supercedes.
 Open seasons for migratory birds in Arizona and New Mexico under the Federal law are as follows:
