"CROSSING THE BAR"

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning at the
bar,
When l put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundl9ss deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of fare
well,
When | embark;
For tho from out our bourne of Time
and Place
The flood may bear me far,
l hope to see my Pilot face to face
When l have cross'd the bar.

MINE INVESTORS PLEASED WITH
 HOLDINGS
DIRECTORS OF GOLD BLOS- SOM CO. DECIDE TO IN STALL BIG PLANT AND SINK TO DEPTH.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Geo. NJ. Spicer. A. C. Scarlan and Hal Harrison. of Long Beach, Cal. concluded an inspection of their Gold Blossom mine holdings on Indian creek, and stated yesterday that an enlarged plan of operating will begin at once, in which a new mechanical equipment is to be installed.
 Their trip to the property was made in order that a full understanding could be arrived at and under ground conditions examined. All were enthu- siastic over the showing made, and the first move will be to continue shaft sinking until a depth of over AGO feet is given. Said MT. Spicer: The proposition to extensively dc vclop is supported from what is iii evidence today, and the proposition passes from the speculative stage in 10 what we candidly believe is the making of a good producer in the future. The Gold Blossom, in short was a prospect in the beginning, ana development is proving a better prop osition than was anticipated. The new plant will he modern in every detail. and we also will increase the mine force"
 In charge of this property is Vii liam Ellingford. and the depth reach ed 10 date is over l60 feet. The Goli Blossom holdings adjoin the Ruth, which is making a heavy concentrate return. and it is probably due to tho success of the latter that its neighbo- has decided to go ahead on an en larged plan Of operating.

On the latter date the cause will stand submitted to the court for consideration and decision
 Considering the amount of evidence and the number Of witnesses cxamin- cd, the case was completed, as far as the main trial was concerned, in a remarkably short time.
 The suit involved the ownership ot onc-half of the ore in tne Copper Chief property in the Verde mining district Hull claimed to have been granted a United States patent to the claim in 1899. On or about October l. 1900 the northeast half of the sur face of the property and one-half of the ore in the entire underground body was deeded to the United Verde Extension Company. Later, it was claimed, the company deeded back the surface half of the property. Hull claimed that this deed should have included also the transfer of the in terest in the ore in the entire claim. He contended that there had been a mistake i1 the deed, in that it did not include the return to him to title of the company's entire interest in the Copper Chief.
 Attorneys. for the defense argued that there was no mistake in the deed, and that the company was en- titled to the ,lalf-interest in :he ore. They also argued that Is years had elapsed since the filing of the second deed before Hull had laid claim to the entire body of ore and alleged there was a mistake in the deed.
 Hull was represented by Attorney H. H. Linney, and the defendants by Attorneys Lamson, Hawkins, Russell and Sweeney

 Stephens said last night tlat the property in question was sold for de- linquent taxes.
 The taxes were delinquent for two years before the mining equipment was sold at auction" said Stephens We had written several letters to Mir. Luce notifying him that his taxes were due and all letters were returned by the postofice department which could not locate him. We gave the owners all the time possible in which to appear and pay the taxes on the property, but when they made no at tempt to do so it was sold at auction.
 We do not care to work hard ship on any one. and always give tax payers all inc time possible to pay their assessments, but we were put in office and ordered to obey certain rules governing the sale of property for delinquent taxes and in selling the Luce mining equipment we were sim ply obeying the law
 The Brayton Company is said to have held Sl,000 mortgage on the property involved in the suit.

DEATH PENALTY MUST
 BE PAID BY MEXICANS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Without betraying a sign of ner- vous1ess or fear and seemingly indif- ferent to their fate, Miguel Peralta, Eduardo Perez and \. B. Chavez, each of whom was convicted of frs; degree murder and sentenced to death several years ago, were again ar raigned in the Superior court yester- day and again sentenced to be hanged at the Florence State prison. Unless the spirit of luck which has saved the men from death many times since their first sentence steps in and once more takes a hand, the three men will be hanged at Florence between 10 a. m. and p. m., Friday, June 9, 19l6
 Chavez was the first to be resent enced yesterday morning. He was represented by Attorney T. c. Norris and appeared perfectly at ease. When asked by Judge O. J. Baughn, of Pinal county, sitting in the case for Judge Smith, who was disqualified. ii he had anything to say or any req sons to give why sentence should not be pronounced, Chavez said he had absolutely nothing to say"
 Perez was re-sentenced next by Judge Smith. He also had no req sons to offer for sentence not being pronounced. Peralta, who was con victed of having slain his wife and a companion, was arraigned last and he. too. took the sentence silently and without betraying emotion.
 Ever since they were brought from the Florence prison to the Yavapai county jail, according to Sheriff Joe Young, the men have not by word Or action appeared to take any interest in the fact that they had but a few days to live
 In spite of this, close watch has been kept to prevent any possible at lempts at escape or suicide William Blount and w. H. Morgan were aD- pointed special guards and watched the three men all last night. Owing to the length of the commitments to be made out in their cases. the men were not taken to Florence last night. but will probably be taken to the prison this afternoon under close guard
