SUMMONS COMES TO
 GILBERT S. FERGUSON
(From Fridays Daily.)

Gilbert s. Ferguson passed away yesterday morning at 9:l0 o'clock at the home of his mother in this city, after an illness since last January, but which did not manifest itself ser iously until a short time ago.
 His afhiction was due, it is be- iieved to drinking water at his min ing camp in Big Bug district, which was poisoned, and under unusual cir cumstances so far as the source is to be considered. The water was caught from the newly painted roof of the building, during the rain and snow storms of last winter, and was quite largely used as the distance to the creek was inconvenient to make trips to secure. the supply necessary. Symptoms of being afflicted did not develop for several weeks, and about one month ago the deceased com menced to complain of being sick when he discontinued mine work He was able to be on his feet up to last Saturday, but since that time had been rapidly sinking.
 The death of MT. Ferguson is very much regretted. He was an indus trious person, and for several years had followed mining, being regarded as an authority in the business. In early days he was printer, learning the trade in this city. He was gen. crous and wholesouled, and his genial personality made him many friends. He was a native of Arizona, born at Tucson 46 years ago, the son of the late w. H. Ferguson. Surviving is his aged mother, Mrs. w H. Bunte, sister, and other relatives. The afhictions of death to overtake this family in the past two years number four, and much sympathy is express cd to those who remain in the deep bereavement they again face in the loss of one so near and dear.

WILHELM CLOSES AN
 OTHER DEAL FOR MINES
iFrom Fridays Dailv.l

As president of the Arizona and California Mining Company, w. s. Wilhelm yesterday closed the deal with J. I. Gardner and James R. Slack for the Blue Ribbon mines in Hassayampa district, and immediate ly took possession. The day previ- ous the sale of the Ruth occurred, in which Mrs. J. C. Herndon, of this city, and Mrs. C. B. Rush, of Mis- souri, were the sellers to the above company.
 These deals are quite important, and have a significant bearing on zinc mining in that belt, the Ruth and the Blue Ribbon being quite prominently known as producers in recent years, the Ruth under a recent lease ship ping 30 carloads to Pueblo smclters.
 Speaking of future plans, Mir. Will helm stated yesterday development begins at once Several buildings arc to be built at the Ruth camp at once and a pumping plant is ordered. The product will be treated on the ground by a combination mill, embracing rolls, stamps, a Quinner crusher and other utilities. The plant has been ordered, and will have capacity of 30 tons per day In acquiring the Ruth and Blue Ribbon, both proper ties are merged into one unit, and from a continuous Assure in that zinc silver belt will close the link in the chain of locations that include the New State, Elk and Perry groups, owned by the Maricopa Queen Oil Company of California, and with which MT. Wilhelm is identified as a stockholder, giving total length Of over one mile.
 At the three last named camps de velopment goes ahead under contract and Mir. Wilhelm stated yesterday he is very much pleased with determin- ations made in the past two months on these gold properties. It is his belief that zone of Hassayampa dis trict offers attractive inducements for investing, hence he was favorable to closing the Ruth and Blue Ribbon deals as soon as possible. The new plant for the Ruth also will treat ores from all the above mines, to ascertain the best method of reduc- ton, when independent plants will be built.
 MT. Wilhelm entered the. above field less than one year ago, and in that time has closed six deals with four camps at the present time act ively operating.

WANTED BOOZE;
 TOOK LONG CHANCE
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Evidently desiring to make them selves believe they were still living in state that had not gone dry" two negroes and a white man broke into the basement of the Antler block and freely assisted themselves to all the sparkling liquor that they could get hold of Thursday. Wine, beer and whiskey comprised the booty of the trio. They were discovered by their inability to keep sober after they had stolen the liquor which, it is said, be- longs to the stock of Captain Dodge.
 Yesterday the crime having been discovered by T. F. Mclaughlin com plaints we're sworn to by him and the three men were arrested after Chief of Police Robbins had started investi- cations into the drunken condition of the three the night before. The men arrested arc L. Barber, negro in the city jail; Harry Lee, a negro in the county jail. and William Pruitt, who is also in the county jail. The arrests we're made by Sheriff Young, Con stable Fitzgerald and Chief of Police Robbins. The complaints, which were sworn to before City Judge Whis- man. charge the three men with burg lary. They will probably be brought before Judge McLane as it is said that they took liquor valued at over $50.

BANG AWAY, BOYS, DOVES
 ARE NOT PROTECTED


 PHOENIX, June 3.-If there is a Federal law or regulation prohibiting the shooting of doves and white wings in Arizona at this time, that law or regulation is being smashed all to smithereens these days. Scores of hunters with twelve guage shot-guns are going out every morning with pockets full of ammunition and are returning with ammunition gone and pockets bulging with birds. Despite the admonition of State Game Ward en Willard that he will prosecute all who take doves and white wings, the hunters have gone ahead with their sport, acting upon the presumption that the Arizona state law, which pro vides an open season for doves and white wings from June to February ?, is the only law that applies in this connection.
 In order that the situation might be clarified telegram was sent few days ago to Henry w. Henshaw, chief of the bureau of biological survey at Washington, reading as follows:
 Are there any Federal regulations placing closed season on doves?"
 To this telegram the following re- D1,, ,,,ac reca;vad.
 "Doves not now protected under Federal migratory regulations.
 "HENSHAW."
 As though there still might be some doubt whether there is or is not Federal regulation which would prohibit the shooting of doves at this time those who contend that the Arizona law is the only one that applies, and who took interest enough in the matter to telegraph to Chief Henshaw for information, also brought to light Farmers Bulletin, No. 628," issued by the United States department of agriculture on October 20. 1914. This bulletin gives the vari- ous game laws of the country, both Federal and state There are tables showing the open seasons for various game and birds in the several states. The bulletin states that where the state game laws do not conflict with the Federal regulations they appear in these tables, and that where there is a conflict the Federal law is sub stituted. The table presents the Ari- zona law showing the open season on doves and white wings to be from June 1 to February ?.
 United States Commissioner J. H. Langston, before whom charges would be filed in the event of viola tions of Federal laws or regulations, had a conference with Warden Will lard yesterday and while he would make no positive statement, he said he knew of no law under which the prosecutions threatened by the state game warden could be brought, but that he had asked the United States attorney general for an opinion to definitely settle the question: That opinion is expected within the next two or three days. In the meantime the hunters are going along as though there was no doubt about their right to shoot the birds.

MINE EXAMINATION

Harold Winthrop, of Great Falls, Mont, with his consulting engineer, F. K. Lewiston, is a recent arrival, and is now in the southern part of the county, making an examination of gold mines. It is presumed the old Minnehaha Flat Co. holdings arc being looked over, on which a 20- stamp mill remains. Lewiston is re- ported to have examined the group several months ago.

followed discovery has been a seri- ous shock to the Canadian people It has also been a lesson to Ameri- cans. Dishonesty knows no national boundary lines. While American cit izens will not be lacking in loyalty to their government in its differences with other nations, neither will they l for one moment relax their vigilance in scrutiny of government business. Nor will any honest government of hcial ask them to. Acts that are wrong in times of absolute peace are doubly culpable when committed un- der cover of the nations strained in ternational relations If it is the duty of American citizens to be loyal to the administration, it is doubly the duty of the administration to be loyal to the people. When defenders Of any administration seek to avoid crit icism or scrutiny of its official acts because important diplomatic cores pondence is under way, it is time to give special attention to the manner in which public business is being con ducted. Pitiless publicity was never more needed than when public atten- ton is diverted from the ordinary business of government.

 Because railway equipment com panies lack business for their factor ies, they are willing to take orders at prices so low as to eliminate profit. Taking advantage of the opportunity to get cars and locomotives at sacri- fee prices, some of the eastern rail roads have placed few orders. And it is this sort of business that demo- cratic newspapers point to as an evl- dence of revived industry. The fac tory that takes orders for the pur- pose of keeping machinery from rust ing is about on a par with the man who works for his board to keep from starving. In each instance there $ useful employment but it would be hard to induce either to accept such work as an evidence of prosperity. When the submarine F-4 sank in Hawaiian waters, it was suggested in very plain terms that the navy de oartment had neglected this arm of the national defense and that few if any of our undersea craft were really capable of effective work. Josephus Daniels denounced this criticism as piece of malicious and ghoulish pol tics. But now it seems that 50 per cent of the submarines which start ed out in the "war game" last week, have been withdrawn from the fight ing line by reason of defective ma ;hinery. K-6, flagship of the fourth division of the Atlantic fleet, went fast aground on No Mans Land. K-1 with disabled engines, and E-2, with broken shaft, have been lowed to port. D-1, G-4, and Ks are reported to have returned to harbor, their cruising radius exhausted. Sir Jose ohus will probably explain at once that this too, is matter of politics.
 The Philadelphia Ledger uses fine language to describe minor political event. The giving of job to that deserving democrat" Bryan's son-in- law, is described as merely nepat- e act, intended to lubricate the amenities of an administrative rela- .ionship."
