COPPER BELT IS AGAIN
 SCENE OF ACTIVITY
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)


 "The Arizona Copper Belt Mining Company has resumed, and for the present the sinking of the main shaft to a depth of 200 feet, is the plan, 3 said General Manager C. F. Dilthey who was in the city yesterday from Constellation.
 When work was suspended a few months ago the shaft had reached q depth of lS5 feet, and 1t is due to the attractive showing made in gold values that eastern stockholders con cluded to eXpend quite large sum on straight development only. Mir Dilthey is quite elated over the prop erty, and stated the determinations would indicate a desirable proposi- ton.
 After the first of the year, the force is to be increased, and when the 200 is reached a system of extensive crosscutting and other exploration will go ahead. The Copper Belt scv- eral months ago attracted very much attention in the gold belt of Con stellation, after a strike of a good grade of milling ore was made, and from which present plans have ma tured for extensive operations. The company owns a group of thirteen claims, four of which are patented. The visitor also states quite a reviv- al of old mines is going on, and the celebrated Monte Christo continues the absorbing topic as a wonderful property as great depth is being reached.

TOO SICK TO BE NURSED
 TODAY SAYS CARD

LONDON. Dec. 30 Correspond ence of the Associated Press.)-"Too sick to be nursed today" a placard said 10 have been placed over the bedstcad of a soldier wounded in the South African campaign, is much needed in British hospitals now, ac- cording to the National Council of Trained Nurses, which has sent to Lord Kitchener a protest against the employment of incompetent nurses. In acknowledgement Of the resolu- ton, the Secretary of War asked the council to submit evidence in support of its charges, and report on the matter is expected shortly.
 The professional trained nurses are complaining that young women of means and social influence, at- tracted by the sentimental side Of nursing at the front, have stormcd the hospitals and have in many cas- es obtained positions notwithstand- ing that they knew nothing of the work. If Lord Kitchener had ask ed for 5O0OO0 nurser to enlist for ser vice instead of for 5O0,OOO men, said a trained nurse. ''hc would have had the number the next morning"
 Such being the case, according to the allegations of the nurses coun- cil. the rush of amateurs has pushed aside the competent greatly to the misfortune of the wounded Tommy who has to submit to "fussing" and betting at the hands of pretty uu- trained girls, which, while sentiment tally appealing, does not go very far toward ministering to his real good.
 The agitation against the incom- potent nurse was raised early in the war. but only just now have the or ganized. nurses, numbering some six thousand, brought the matter official ly to the attention of the war office
 Lord Knutsford in letter to the Times, rather humorously stated what he considers the chief objection to come of the "untrained nurses" who have got abroad. They woulI give less offense. he said if-
 They were not photographed SO often.
 And would wear their uniforms more modestly
 And would talk less in public about their patients.
 And would be a little more humble and less aggressive.

ARIZONA FACES BANK
 RUPTCY UNDER LAW
CFrom Wednesdays Dailv.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 All aboard for the old age and mothers pension picnic" will soon ring out on the pest ridden legisla- tive atmosphere of Arizona via the initiative destroyer Ready to step up to the treasury Of this county was the announcement made yester- day oi a widow of this city with her three children. the latter under the age of sixteen years. They are en- titled to put their hands into the big cash. box. as the law gives them the right, and they propo~c 10 dip in. The above widow will receive Sl5 per month. and her three children each 5000 per month, it being prov en they are dependent on the mother for Livelihood
 It is computed that in the state there are over 800 widows who arc justly entitled to this benefit, and each woman averages two children under the above age.
 Taking the figures carefully com piled by an authority in this city, on minimum basis of the number of women and children to be affected by this vicious law, the astounding situation develops that the state will disburse the first year of the opera ton of this amendment a total oi S234,OO0. The mothers in other words will receive $90,000 while their chil- dren will get $144000. All must have resided in Arizona for five five years preceding their application. Another provision carried in the amendment specifics that wives of convicted fclons in the state peni- tentiary. as well as the wives of men who are in the insane asylum, are entitled to the above benefit. The above authority also mentioned the fact that one race living in Arizona if they prefer, could bankrupt the state the first year of the application of this vicious law. The widows are known to outnumber the whites two to one. and have on an average five children, all the offspring of fathers who were naturalized as citizens and a record of whose death is kept. The above amendment calls for the sale to be made of all county farm prop erty in the several counties of the state, and proceeds thereof applied to the payment of the pensions. What would they bring under the hammer is the delicate question 10 be an swered.

 CALLS DAYS OF YORE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

George B. McGarvey and r. w. Hatch, who purchased the William Miller placer mines on the Hassay- ampa short time ago. brought to the city yesterday their first cleanup, which weighed ten ounces and was valued at over $185.
 The dust is coarse and was recov- cred with a rocker. It represented less than two weeks working the gravel beds, and the owners are quite elated. They say that the snow and rain interfered with get ting the ground in shape, but in the future anticipate no further troEblc. They have stretch of over 900 feet along the river that can easily De worked, and it is quite probable will sluice in the future, the river carry ing a large flow.
 This is the first time in very many years that this ground has been worked, and the exhibiting of the yield attracted very much attention yesterday, as well did it recall the day when this feature of gold mining was prevailing, and thousands of dol lars were coming to the city from that locality and others.

RUSHING WORK ON THE
 GRANITE CREEK STORAGE
(From Wednesdav.s Dai1v.l

tFrOm w eQneSQaY Ddlly.J
 Owing to high water in Granite creek. actual dam construction was not started until yesterday by the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co. The immense volume of water to be har- died. necessitated provision to be made against any possible trouble in the future from this source.
 With this department adjusted, other important matters pertaining to the developing of the lands are to be taken up for active consideration early next week. upon the arrival from Chicago of w. II. Rosccrans, accompanied by H. c. Wells. The. latter two with Chief Engineer R. s. Cookinham are to consider a gen eral plan of future action, and will discuss the question as to what ex- tent construction is to go ahead on work other than the main storage, in which will be included the diver sion dam to be built on Granite creek. about one mile below the main storage. The building a one7half mile long Hume, the digging of a ten mile ditch to irrigatc west side lands, and a system of lateral ditches with structures are to be considered.
 Cookinham stated yesterday that the coming of favorable weather was agreeable, and with five days moro of a continuance, the work on the dam would have progressed sufi- cientIy to permit of no further trou ble. if the creek carried the biggest flow ever known.

CUNNING CUPID LOSES
 OUT BY NEW ROUTE
(From Wednesdays Daily)

'
 If a judicial stunt pulled off at Se- ligman few days ago is any cri- terion to go by, Cupid had better abandon his job as matrimonial agent of the lovelorn.
 Earl Martin, young man of that town is languishing in the county jail for ninety days on the alleged ground of attempting to beat a board bill, while in the act of getting mar ried. With the girl of his choice, hc started to hike up the Santa Fe track to Ash Fork, where the knot was to be tied, the Scligman atmosphere not being conclusive to his inclinations, or the young lady for that matter.
 Martin and prospective bride start ed out on foot, and had reached Pincveta, within four miles of their nuptial station, when they were ov-' ertakcn and brought back to the starting point. They had travelled an even twenty-five miles in the race for the altar. and every inch was nc gotiateq by the pedal route, and in a foot or more of snow. They spent Christmas in a chilly manner by the side of a pile of ties, but the warmth of affection was all the more cement ed with the true love that passion ately burns in the hearts of those who love well. but not wisely" when relatives took a hand in the game, with the assistance of a land lord with bill in his pocket.
 At any rate Cupid was sidctracked and his disciple who lost out in the first round will click his heels to- gether for the next three months in joyous anticipation of winning out in the long run. If all men who marry had to have their financial re- sources judged as Martins was, there would be many aching hearts still pining for the one who was lost by a board bill or other obligation.

DAD TIME WAS MAS
 TER OF CEREMONIES
iFrom Fridays Daily.)


 Pandemonium broke loose in Pres cott last night just as the faithful old clock in the court house steeple said the word "go" Every whistle in the city was in operation, even that unearthly siren which makes people think it is the judgment day. And they continued to blow, punctuated with explosions of fire arms and every other kind of imaginable nois- es-enOugh to make new born babes turn over in wonder and amazement.
 And it was all because sweet little Miss New Year came down off Gran ite mountain and ordered Aid Dad Time to be quick in taking a slice of the cycle and returning the loaf to her. She was the queen. No king in the business at all.
 And the rejoicing was also a fun eral-the saloons closed while the whistles blew, and the crowds from the saloons blew while the whistles blew-that IS blew out the doors never to return-for Old Man Pro- hib" arrived locked horns" with Miss New Year and the two of them sort Q lovin' like commenced to run things all of a sudden to suit them selves, to the complete discontinue of Old Dad Time and Old Man Bar leycorn.
 Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye" was the song-but is was so old the boys forgot to utilize it But they did not forget to shout the old year out and the new year into the com plete satisfaction of all the shouters and the distress of those who were in dreamland at the time, seeing vis- ions of better days, or worse days, and better things. or worse things, for Arizona.
 However all the things" may be which are mentioned or neglected. 1t is certain that the cycles of the years nave turned another notch in the wheel. and it is up to all poor earthly nortals to fit into the groove and 10 the best possible.

BREWERY WINS FREIGHT
 RATE LAW SUIT
Trom Wednesdays Dqily.)

(FrOm Wednesdays DlllY)
 Attorney II. T. Andrews, repre- senting the Arizona Brewing Com pany in an appeal to the Inter state Commerce Commission in which a large sum was involved in the way of reparation for freight overcharge, on the part of the Chicago & North western, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Prescott & Phoenix Railroad Companies, has received notice of- a decision in favor of his clients, judg- ment having been awarded in the sum of S2.2S6.S1. with interest, and an order issued to the defendant com panies to pay the same on or before the 18th day of next February
 The case was heard in Prescott before an examiner for the Inter state Commerce Commission on o. tober /. 1910, but the decision was held up pending a decision of the United States supreme court on the question of inter-mountain freight rates. the latter decision having re gently been made.
 The brewing company was charg- ed $143 per hundred pounds on the shipment Of thirteen carloads of malt from Milwaukee and other points Ill the Chicago shipping district, and set up the contention that this was exorbitant, the decision compelling the companies to make reparation in the sum of forty-three cents per one hundred pounds on twelve carloads, the statute of limitations having eX- pired with reference to one carload, making recovery on this lot impos- sible.
 During the progress Of the investi- gation it was shown that the defend- ant companies had charged rate for direct shipments to Prescott as though the malt had been shipped first to a Pacific coast point from Chicago, thence back to a Missouri river point. added to which was the freight charge from Maricopa to Phoenix. On this basis the freight had been thus figured: SiXty-five cents from Chicago to the Pacific coast, sixty cents from the coast back to the Missouri river, plus eighteen cents. from Maricopa to Phoenix which it will be seen, amounts to $143.
 In rendering the decision the com mission says the rate is grossly eN- cessive," and makes the order for re- paration that was contended for by the plaintiff through Mir. Andrews. Ii is noted in the text of the judgment that the distance from Phoenix to Los Angeles is 544 miles and from this city to San Francisco is S54 miles.
 The decision sets precedent for shipments by car lots from the Chi cago district to Prescott which will be of value to Prescott merchants as well as all other shippers in this part of Arizona, and eliminates the further possibility of railroad com panies adding to freight rates to this point the cost of shipment to the coast and then back to this city, while they have hauled the freigh, direct from the district in the east to Prescott.
