LAW IS VIOLATED
 BUT NO PROSECUTION

. GLOBE, April 2O-Onc Globe man has party of friends in Fl Paso who are not terrified by the drastic laws against the shipment of liquor into Arizona, according to story that was going the rounds yesterday. The tale is to the effect that the man in question who is avowedly wet" when it is not absolutely and painfully nee essary to be dry" received a care fully wrapped package from the afore- said friends in the pass city. He went into dark concealment and opened the bundle and his fondest hopes were fulhlled-it contained whiSkey. But there was "fy in the ointment" The size of the bottle was not all that could be hoped for. The smallest bottle for perfume to be found in the market had been obtained and filled with the liquor. And with it was a medicine dropper together with in structions signed by persons who claimed the title M. D." instructing the patient to take one drop every "A hours. It is understood that the au- thorities have decided they will not attempt to prosecute the importers.

SIGNBOARDS TO
 DIVERT TRAVEL THIS WAY
(From Fridays Dai!w.)

l
 That the board of supervisors ha:
 ordered huge signboards to be in
 stalled at the junction of the Santa
 Fe, Grand Canyon and Needles high
 way and the Ash Fork Prescott road
 and at suitable points eastward and
 westward therefrom, was the report made by the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at the regular meeting last night.
 These signs are to be used to divert auto traffic through Yavapai county and Southern Arizona from the north ern highway, over which the bulk of the trans-Arizona tourists will travel en route to the California expositions this year
 The secretary was instructed to ascertain from Hon. James Watson, president of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Co. just what proposals had been made to the Moose tuber- culosis sanitorium committee as to land for their purposes, should Pres colt be named as the site of the s. 000,000 institution they are to build for their afflicted members. From in formation received recently, it ap- pears that Prescott has fairly good chance.
 Judge P. s. Wren, superintendent O! the Pioneers home, was unanim cusly elected a member of the cham Der. President Aitken announced that he is holding in abeyance the ap- pointment of a committee to secure local purchasers for acreage unde- the Granite Creek dam, until he is able to hold further conferences with Attorney R. E. Morrison, counsel for the company. He will announce the personnel of this committee as soon as possible. ..

SENATOR REGION
 MINES BEGIN OPERATING
(From Saturdays DaIIy.)


 Arrivals yesterday from the Sen ator field, give an interesting review of mines and mining, and anticipate a lively summer at many camps, on the eve of reviving, with many also oper- lting.
 The Dunkirk again is the scene of quite lively times on the surface and n mine work. R. M. Hanson has started to freight out several tons of Dunkirk and Poverty ore for ship nent to Fl Paso smelters. He has TWO teams of four animals each on he road daily.
 The Venezia Gold Mines Co. camp $ again the scene of life, and hauling out of concentrates is to begin in a short time. This product has accum dated from several runs of the mill il recent years. The camp, also, is being rehabilitated fof large opera lions immediately.
 It was also reported that arrange. mcnts are being closed whereby the Y.-P. is to enlarge on its present plans of development since connec- ion had been established with the Senator vein in a long winze driven from the Cash claim, which solved a very interesting mineralogical situa- ton.
 Shipping of Snoozer ores to Doug ias smelters will soon resume, several hundred tons of high grade copper accommodating during the past winter.
 The Davis is to start shipping 100 tons at once, and will be steady producer during the summer.
 Advices from Chicago state that those interested in the New Mexico Lead and Copper Company holdings, which embrace the Breed group, will begin operating some time in May. Their engineer endeavored to reach the camp in March, but ten feet of snow barred him The movement to resume at that time was cancelled, ac- cordingly. The group had been pros pected previously, and the good show ing made warrants the movement to explore to depth.
 The Juanita camp again is quite active, with D. A. Seaman operating under bond and lease.
 Crook canyon is open to traffic af- ter being shut out since January, by deep snow. Individuals are produc- ing, and it is said that at no time in the past twenty years has the general mining outlook in the Senator region been as encouraging as at the present time.

PATHETIC SCENE
 MOVERS OVER APACHE
(From Fridays Daily)

The Observer, of St. Johns, in speaking of the Lyman dam disaster, of last week, has the following to say:
 This was the fourth dam that has gone out at St. Johns, the third one at Hunt, and the dam at Woodruff has been taken out innumerable times. Men have spent their last dollar on the Lyman project, and some are on the verge of bankruptcy. Of course they will hold on, and if there is people on Gods footstool who deserve help from the govern ment, the state, or any place they can get it, they are the people who live on the Little Colorado river at the pres ent time. The dike of the dam was 450 feet long at the base, $40 feet at the crest and contained 100000 yards Of material. The reservoir formed a capacity of 10000 acre feet and was second in size in this state. At the time of the break the water was to a depth of B feet. The accepted theory of the break is that the portion of the dike across the channel below the conduit outlet did not have a chance to settle, consequently that section was naturally weak and gave way un- der the heavy pressure. The dam was intact at 10:45 the night of the diSas- ter, and the break occurred without a moments warning. The terrific body of water reached St. Johns at 10:45 o'clock at night, and sweeping on took out all bridges of the state high way. Up to l0:20 o'clock at night there was never a thought of the dam breaking or of any immediate danger. Men of experience have been con stantly on the ground to give warning at the first intimation of danger"

FINANCIAL TIDE
 TURNS TOWARD MINING
iFrom Fridays DaiIy.l


 There is no stopping of the tide that is sweeping over the country at the present time in a genuine revival oi mining, and which is apparent ev- anywhere east and west among men of money to become interested" said ]. P Waldron, the Bradshaw operator yesterday.
 MT. Waldron among other interest ing things stated he cohversed with several Frenchmen at Colorado Springs only a few days ago, and their engineers informed him they would visit Prescott this summer, to make observations in this field. Fa- milia-ity was shown by them with the magnitude of the United Verde, the Arizona Consolidated smelter holdings, the United Verde Extension, the Copper Chief, and several other mines that are attracting attention. These foreigners are wealthy, and have been wintering in the above city, being unable to return home on account of the European war. In other centers, M-. Waldron stated, he was surprised to see what interest was being manifested to secure in vestments in any line where minerals were to be considered.
 This field" he says, 'is regarded as practically virgin, and offers at tractivc inducements for reasonable investments owing to the limited de velopment given, through lack of capital It is my belief, that this summer will witness more deals be ;ng closed by practical mining, men than has ever been to the credit of the county, and for the reason that industrial conditions east of the Mis- 5ouri have slackened, and capital realizes that mining faces better op portunities than known in many years, and along lines also of per manency. Mining stock investments in New York city show the way the wind Is blowing"

OFFERS FREE SITE
 FOR SUMMER RESORT
(From Fridays Daily.l

The following offer was received yesterday at the Chamber of Com merce from C. A. Behm, of Spruce mountain, near Groom creek:
 Should you hear Of anyone want ing a mountain hotel or summer re- sort site, 1 have the best one in the west, bar none. 1 will give it to any one that wants it for that purpose It Is located about two miles west of Spruce mountain on a hat-topped bluff, 1000 feet higher and overlook ing the state highway. The view rom that point is better than from Spruce. One can see from south of the Harqua Hala mountains to south Of the Mogollons.
 There is round-top butte near by, on which a solarium could be built and from which a still better vlew can be had and there is plenty of water near. It would take but little money to extend my road on Spruce mountain to that point, but 1t would be better still to build a road up Banning creek, cross it with bridge, then on to the divide, all not over half mile and at small cost, there being no rock work. Then fol low the divide until the resort site IS reached and then down the ridge to the state road
 This would give Prescott the best skyline drive in the West, running for several miles along the very top or the divide, furnishing a drive of about 25 miles for the round-trip. The upkeep on the road along the divide would be little. It takes me but half a day a year to keep my road of over one-half mile of grade, in good shape. If this was in any other place but this country, it would have been done long ago. People coming to Prescott want to get on the mountains for view and not on the plains to look up.
 Yours truly,
 "C. A. BEHM."

 INTEREST IN THE DUNKIRK
(From Fridays DailyN

(From Fridays Daily.)
 Negotiations for the purchase of George Waagstaf's interest in the Dunkirk group of mines, on Slate creek, were concluded few days lgo, in which Frank Whisman, be- comes interested and in the future will be associated with D. NJ. Clark.
 Following the closing of the deal ten more miners were sent to the camp on Wednesday, while mechanics have started work in mill repairing. The oil Notation process is to be in stalled at once, as well will mine work being conducted hereafter on larger scale than heretofore. This property was revived last winter after a sus- pension of several years. and frequent mill runs were made, giving quite a large product i'll concentrates, but with recovery of values as unsatis- factory owing to the method of treat ment for the complex ores. With the new process installed, and mine condi- tions being decidedly favorable in exploration recently given. this prop osition faces better future than formerly.

DAVIS RESUMES
 SHIPPING TO DOUGLAS
(From Fridays Daily0

NA iOiAA AlNeJ DoAiy'p
 Shipping ore from the Davis mines on Slate creek, started yesterday, Geo. C. Ruffner sending several mule teams to load 100 tons. This yield has been packed out from the mine to the summit on the state. highway, and is the product of operations last winter, in which Joe Caspari and Fritz Vierthaler figure as lcascrs.
 This shipment is consigned to Cop per Queen smeltcrs at Douglas, and the values arc mainly gold. A few weeks ago 1t was current report that new ground opened up on this prop erty exposed some exceptionally high grade ore, which was considered by miners who had inspected the work ings as worthy to be c1assed as a strike. The present shipment is to be followed regularly by others, and it is stated that from the tonnage ready for stoping this mine faces a better outlook than in many years.
 The Snoozcr in that field also, will begin shipping to Douglas later and in- dividual operators near the Senator are ready to begin production. The three months snow blockade caused a total suspension of freighting in or out of that country until a short time ago.

YAVAPAI PEOPLE BUY
 PHOENIX ICE PLANT
(From Saturdays Dailv.l

PHOENIX, April 23.-Announce- ment was made last evening of the sale of the stock in the w. H. Con stable Co. Inc. by the estate of w. H.
 Constable to some of his former partners in the ice and brokerage business here, Prescott and Jerome capital absorbing the interests of the deceased business man. Coincident with this sale, but in no way connect ed with 1t, comes the resignation of J. B. Gillespie, for five years business manager of both branches of the bus mess, and one of the men who have built 1t up from a small concern to one of the most pretentious estab- lishments in the city. MT. Gillespie. who has contemplated leaving the service in order to attend to private business, ever since the death of Mir. Constable, will remain in Phoenix.
 Walter Miller of Jerome owner of part of the stock in the w. H. Con stable Company was the agent for the Jerome and Prescott capitalists who took over the remaining stock of the estate Allen Wheeler, administrator of the estate, who has been in the city for several days, left last evening for his home in Los Angeles after the completion of the deal.
 The deal, which was consummated at o'clock, Is of two-fold nature. By it, the northern interests take over the ice plant and all connected with it, while the w. H. Constable Com pany of Fl Paso becomes owner of the brokerage department.
 In the past five years, the ice com pany has grown from two-ton-a-day delivery to an average summer output of 30 to 40 tons day. The brokerage department has grown and f1ourished with similar vigor.
 Manager Gillespie, prior to his com ing to Phoenix, was connected with the Phelps Dodge Company at Bis bee, and he left the Cochise city to take ove- the management of the Constable interests in Phoenix, both the ice plant and the brokerage office.
 The identity of the new stockhold- CTS has not been disclosed, but it IS on good authority that no immediate changes will be made in the policy of the company, nor in the business. Rumors that the consolida- ton of the stock would result in the new owners controlling a string of similar establishments in Arizona nave been denied.

LIBEL ON WATERS OF
 HASSAYAMPA REFUTED
(From Fridays DailY.)

(From Frldays Dally.)
 To the Editor of the Journal-Miner In connection with the launching oi the battleship Arizona, and the selec, ton of water to be used in the cere- mony of christening the finest vessel i'll the navy of the United States, am surprised to notice in the Phoenix Republican an editorial stating that the waters of the Hassayampa river could not be used for this purpose because the drinking Of those waters invariably destroyed persons ability to tell the truth.
 This is another evidence that a little learning is dangerous thing. Had the editor of the Republican not been enveloped in most lamentab1e ignorance, he would not have uttered this slandeT upon the sparkling water of the Hassayampa and the many worthy people who have quenched their thirst at its brink.
 The true legend is that only the water below the crossing" had the haneful influence mentioned in the Republican, while the flow above the crossing" is clear from taint, invig- orating, pure, and gives to those who drink it settled habit of veracity.
 In the Journal-Miner of December 10, 1909, was printed a history of the legend which contained the following ve-sihed statement of the experience of prospector who had been for tunately warned before drinking at the wrong place.
 Legend of the Hassayampa. Beside the Hassayampa's brink, Below the crossing, paused to drink, One who beheld, as in dream Fer yet he quaffed the crystal stream, A beauteous sprite which warned,
 Beware,
 This Till so clear is fraught with care; No noble thought can cross your mind If here relief from thirst you find; If from this sparkling tide you sip No truth can pass your faltering lip. But seek above, for there indeed, The spell is changed, allay your need, From that charmed draught no il
 can flow, No purpose false, no motive low, For virtue, honor, there control, And truth resistless fills the soul. And whoso drinks that nectar rare And breathes that free, inspiring air, Is thrilled with love that never dies For Arizona's undimmed skies; And though he wander far, and roam Beyond the bordeTland of home, His heart is never stilled, or knows Peace, or contentment, or rcpose, Till fortune guides his steps once more Towards Hasssyampa's golden shore
 As a further evidence that the drinking of the waters of the Has sayampa is not so fatal in its conSe- quences as the Republican would have us think it will be remembered that in October, 1910, when President Taft visited Prescott, Hon. Robt. E. who presided at the meet ing at which the president addressed our citizens, presented MT. Taft with I glass of water, especially procured by Mir. Morrison for the occasion from the Hassayampa above the with which the president re- ,-eshed himself
 No evil consequences followed, and aS stated in the Journal Miner in the ssue above mentioned, the drinking of this water has developed large body of Arizonans who are known the world over as truthful beyond suspicion or compare"
