KILLING CATTLE WITH
 POWDER IS COSTLY
(From Fridays Daily.)


 Dynamiting a milch COW to end its miseries from some affliction proved disastrous to a dairyman of Groom creek a few days ago. The expert ment had the desired effect, but when the smoke lifted the entire herd, practically, of milkers was blown to atoms.
 The novel procedure had its in- ception from the fact that there were no firearms on the place and as inc cessity Is the mother of invention, the explosive was brought into play as a last resort from humane stand point to put an end to the suferings of the diseased animal According Iy the COW was rounded up, and to her head was lashed five sticks of dynamite, to which was attached a fuse only twelve inches long.
 Applying the match the trouble started. The sizzing was too closely dlllCQ lO lHe CATS Ol lilC NOW, dIiu instantly there was stampede. ln- stinctively the poor brute started for its shed. with the owner endeavoring to thwart its purpose by holding to it's tail and cxerting all his physical ability to shift her to another course. It was useless however. The COW entered its accustomed place and in few seconds later the terrific cx- plosion told the story of damage done. Two other milch COWS were found sprawling on the ground in a dying state, and the dynamited one with it's head blown off The impact was so forcible that the front end of the stable was torn away, and the falling timbers had struck the fourth one, breaking its back. "Dynamitcd beef for sale" now dangles from d sign at the former dairyman's quar- tcrs.

STATE FAIR COMES IN
 FOR GOOD BAKING

PHOENIX, Jan. 21.-The fate ot
 the Arizona State Fair is trembling
 in the balance.
 The State Senate sitting as a com
 mittee of the whole this morning
 after vivid debate not unmarked by personal feeling recommended by a tie vote that the appropriation of | $25,O00 asked for be retained in the emergency appropriation bill, and by vote of nine to eight that the bill take the regular course.
 Senator Campbell, former Fair Commissioner, said after the session that he believed the bill will pass. If it does not it will leave the Fair Commission high and dry without funds to proceed with the work of building the 1915 exposition.
 The bill was attacked from the floor by Senators Claridge (Graham) Sims (Cochise) Martin (Pima) Riggs (Cochise) and Goldwater (Yavapai. Campbell (Coconino) Colter (Apache) and the Maricopa senators rallied to its defense.
 The battle came shortly after Sen ator Bacon (Gila) was called to the chair upon motion of Senator Riggs to strike out the item in the bill ap- propriating $5,693 for expenses until June 30, thus providing only for the payment of the deficit of $19,307.
 Senator Martin (Pima) thought that State Fair finances should be looked into more closely than they had been in the past and intimated that altogether too much money is being expended for that branch of state activity
 Senator Riggs declared that Ari- zona was getting ahead of hcrself' and that before long would be no longer a place where poor folks might come.
 Senator Claridge declared himself against piecemeal legislation. Twen- ty-fve thousand now," he said; "and in the general appropriation bill we will be asked for $35,000 more." Goldwatcr (YavapaD wanted the fig ures in the last report explained, and Sims (Cochise) wondered if the state is financially able to maintain the fair in the style in which it has been 
 Ninety per cent of the people who come here do not see the things which will do them any good. It is ! show; meeting place, and hold 1p proposition when we get here.'
 From all parts of the floor came a ,lamorous desire for recognition. It was the first good opportunity to .ake poke at Maricopa, and the fair, ts management and the expense en- ailed was banned" fore and aft.

NO CONCESSIONS FOR
 SALOONS IN MEXICO
(From Sundays Daily.)

NAlClL OuHudy Odlly. , When asked to confirm or deny the report that General Gales, of Agua Prieta, had ordered the execution of
 any man, or set of men who sell liq-
 uor at Agua Prieta, Naco or Nogales, the three principal Arizona border
 Mexican towns, J. R. Pruess, of Bis
 bee, who was in Prescott yesterday
 said that the report was true. He al
 so declared that the report of the es-
 tablishment of saloons in these places by Americans since the adoption of
 prohibition in this state was unfound.
 ed.
 General or Colonel Gales is in
 cooperation with American authori-
 ties on the subject" he said, "and as
 a result of his order two men have
 been executed already at Nogales.
 Mexico. As soon as the prohibition
 amendment went into effect de-
 termined effort was made on the part
 of many saloon men of Douglas and ! the other border towns to transfer their business just across the line.
 All kinds of reports were circulated as to the progress of such work. it being reported at Douglas that a reg ular Monte Carlo was to be establish ed at Agua Prieta But I know whereof 1 speak when 1 say that all applicants for saloon concessions in the three Mexican towns named have been turned down flat by the Mexi- cans. 1 think this is because they do not desire to sign away rights which may be valuable to Mexicans themselves at the proper time when the war is over, more than anything else, the order for executions as a penalty for liquor selling being pro mulgated at this time more for the particular purpose of keeping liquor away from the Mexican soldiers. It is known on the border that Gales is a friend of Americans, however, and there is little doubt but that, at Douglas in particular, he is being in fuenced by the American authorities in their efforts to prevent the estab- lishment of American saloons in Agua Prieta, where Douglas would have to stand the brunt of all kinds of trouble and expense and receive no revenue. Personally, however, believe the time will come when the border Mexican towns will make all kinds of trouble for their American neighbors as the result of prohibition Naco is one-half in each country, nothing but the railroad track form ing the boundary line, and saloons in the Mexican portion of this town are just the same as though they were in the American portion. And it is about as bad in Nogales and Agua Prieta, although, in the latter in- stance, the distance between the two towns is about three-fourths of a mile"

 Slate creek, is one of the most active mineral divisions of the coun- ty at the present time, and one of the agreeable features to give it prominent consideration for the fu- ture is the character of work going on and the production that follows" said well known mining man who was in the city yesterday from that locality.
 Going into details, he stated that the Davis is making very credit able showing, with Joe Caspari and Eric Bloom operating under a lease. They arc working from the lower tunnel into an upraise, from which has been taken several carloads of ore which arc piled up on the dump ready for shipping to the shelter
 William Johnson, farther down the creek, also is producing from his claim, and the grade of the yield will stand shipping also Fritz Vierthaler has established camp on his Vic toria group, and has quite large tonnage ready for shipping. His property is rated as attractive.
 The Dunkirk mill has been run ming day and night for the past two weeks, and mine work goes ahead steadily with the showing as excel lent. Production also is heavy, and the plant is sufficiently supplied from the development going on. All the mines carry gold values, principally.

ZULICK NOT VEL
 COME IN THIS STATE

PHOENIX, Jan. 2l.-The hour glass of time was turned upside down this morning in the senate chamber and the sands were permitted to drift back a generation when, with impas- stoned fervor and deep feeling, Sen ator Goldwater (Yavapai) attacked house joint resolution extending an invitation to former Gov C. Mey- CT Zulick of Avon-by-thc-Sea, N. J., to visit Arizona during the present session Of the legislature.
 Eloquently the senior senator from the county on the north retouchcd the aging canvas, and one by one the manikins of a former day walked and walked again before the very eyes of the stillcd senate and the breathless proletariat in the gallery.
 It was the first set speech of the session and one of the finest that has been heard in an Arizona legislature for a long time. The senator de- clarcd that he knew of no good C. Meyer Zurlick had ever done for Ari- ona and drew in vivid strokes the story of an insult offered in the long ago to distinguished citizen. He rccited the story of paIatial junkct from Prescott to Phoenix by way of Los Angeles; of the opening of the gates of the penitentiary by the former governor with d golden key" call ed him "carpet-bagger" and con cluded with a motion that the senate

 men who have been blackliSted by
 this law. They represent the most responsible class of workers and cit izens. They have reached that age of discretion which takes precedence over passion and impulses of youth in industrial strife. Most of them, like myself, have reared families and now that the families are able to take care of themselves are trying to accumulate little property against the day when they can no longer work.
 Heretofore it was the practice of the companies to retain the mar ricd men and let those upon whom there was no one dependent go in times of industrial depression, but since the operation of this law this has been reversed and the man whose sole interest in the communi- ty is his bread and butter, and whose property consists of a grip, holds his position to the exclusion of the man of family and the taxpayer.
 "Thc law places a great risk upon the home builder, the small contract or, and the operator of small mining properties, and the leascr. No man of small means can afford to employ labor and take the chance of acci- dent.

 In effect the law exempts from taxation for a period of ten years all of the property of any concern which shall during 1915, after they have filed notice with the secretary of state of their intention to so do, begin the construction of any line of railroad or street railway. The in tention to utilize the benefits of the legislation proposed must be dcclar- ed by filing notice with the secre- tary of state and work must be be- gun within six months after such no-
