John d. Rockefeller, junior, is get
ting his name and picture on the
front page these days with unceaslng
regularity. He has emerged from his
Sunday school sanctum long enough
to tell the federal investigating COM
mittee that he didn't know a blamed
thing about the differences between
the miners and mine owners out in
Colorado, and If there were no Y.
NJ. C. A. convention in the next few
weeks he might make trip out there
and look things over. Young Jawn
is a pretty good fellow, but if he
should ever become pregnant with an
idea of his own, the result might
prove disastrous to him.

sH EAR STEAL

]. e. Bolts of Liberal, Kansas, APP
peared to have mistaken Lawson's alb
stract office for garage Saturday
afternoon. He ran his car on bee
line for the entrance, knocking out
the door and casing but not other
wise seriously damaging the building.
The car, which was Ford, escaped
without damage. Mr.. Bolts was max
ing a turn in the street and appears
to have lost control of his car, prob
ably due to defective radius rods,
and he hit the abstract Office full
blast. Repairs have been made TO
the office and the force think they
will recover in time from the shock
il gave them. Constable j. H..
Mcbride got busy Tuesday and ran
in jim Forney and Dick Meeks, re-
cent arrivals In this section from the
eastern part of the state, on charge
of drunkenness. They plead guilty
and were each assessed a fine of SIS
and costs. Constable Mcbride was
also instrumental in causing the ar
rest by Sheriff Jones of Charley Stan
ton and j. N. Robbins Friday night
on a charge of violating the liquor
law. Stanton plead guilty and was
fined SIS and costs. Robbins gave
bond for his appearance in county
court. Mr.. Mcbride received the APP
pointment of constable at the Janu-
airy meeting of the commissioners,
and from the way he is going after
law violators, he is proving that the
appointment was good one.-Bea-

The "jitney' service is coming
into popular favor in all the larger
cities. This will ultimately mean the
end of poor street car service where
such is forced upon the public by a
greedy street railway company, and
will also do away with the taxicab
hog in many instances. The jitneys
have been given thorough trial for
several weeks in Kansas City, and the
proprietors pronounce the project a
financial success. The next step in
order will be the passing of laws and
ordinances for their proper regula-
ton.

ores will not be taken this year to the State Fair at Phoenix, and no exhibits whatever from the mines of Mohave county will be made there.
 Mir Lynch stated that since his ar rival in Prescott with the exhibit, he had been frequently asked for sam pies from the Tom Reed, the Gold Road, Tennessee, Golconda, Ivanhoe, United Eastern, and score of other mines rated as bonanzas, and after deliberating over the matter conclud- ed that the best move was to keep them in this city and thus give those who desire opportunity to inspect and see for themselves the mineral char acter of the products that are attract ing so much attention at the present time.
 Mir. Lynch also said that his trip to Prescott this year has been gratifying in the large number of persons who witnessed the Mohave exhibit to learn or general conditions in that field, as well as seeking specific information on a score of properties, which, he says, is an index of keen interest manifested in mines and mining, and which has a strong tendency to pro mote investment in legitimate under takings.
 The Mohave exhibit will be kept in tact, and will be an attraction of the future to the resident as well as non resident seeker of information.

 That civil action may be brought against violators of the State game laws and damages collected by ordi- nary suit, in addition to the regular criminal prosecution, is fact not so generally known among hunters ac cording to officers, as crlmlnai charge is usually the only one filed in most cases.

 The minimum amount that can Dc collected for each animal illegally killed or wounded is as follows; Elk S2OO; deer, $50; antelope, $lOO; noun tain sheep or goats, $2OO; bird Slo' fish. Sl.

HUNT IS LOSING
 GROUND WITH HIS PARTY

PHOENIX. Oct. P. - Out of great mass of conflicting reports and rumors, regarding prospective demo- cratic activities in preparation for the race for State offices next year, the impression seems to be gaining ground hereabout, that Governor Hunt will find it increasingly difficult to swing a nomination in case Wiley Jones, present attorney general, con cludes to go into the lists against him. For a time, prominent democrats even those openly opposed to the ad- ministration,-believed that the gov ernor's position would be materially strengthened by the furious outbursts against him, for his conduct of the States affairs in connection with the copper strike in the Greenlee district. Now, however, the same prominent democrats arc permitting themselves to believe that while the governor may have gained a small measure of popularity among the not over 12 per cent of voters among the strikers he has lost more than enough to offset this gain, among other citizens.
 The rumor persisted all last week that Jones had said he would not op- pose the governor for the nomination. This has been vigorously denied by friends of Jones, in his absensc in Washington, where he is engaged in arguing the 30 per cent law case be- fore the Supreme court. Governor Hunt, on the other hand, has been quoted as saying that if Jones runs, he will enter the lists against the States prosecutor with even more relish than he would, ii Jones did not run.
 That the entrance of Frank J. Duffy, State democratic central com mittec chairman. into the race, will mean a divided Hunt support, and less hard won victory for Jones, is the statement of ono or two we'll versed demos. Duff's candidacy has been shelved in much of the private discussion of battle lines lately, but as Jim Lavin says of nearly every demo- crat in the State "he is ill receptive mood
