WELL KNOWN MAN DIES IN SHAFT

CLIFTON, Nov. 6.-Dan Griffin, a miner working in the Gibson mine at Bellevue, died of heart failure in the bottom of shaft there this morning shortly after going on shift at 7:3O o'clock
 Griffin went on shift at about 7:30 and climbed to his station in the bot tom of the shaft, via the ladder. A little later his partner Tony Johnson, lowered the bucket containing the tool and showed the bucket over to one side of the shaft A little later Johnson called down to him, but after repeated calling no reply being re- ceived, he went down to investigate. He found Griffin leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, one hand on the ladder and one on the bucket, with his eyes rolled back. Johnson immediately went for help and sent his partner, Beckham, to get the man out while he telephoned for a doctor. 1t that time it was supposed that Grifiin had been injured in the shaft.
 Ie was dead when Beckham reached him.

ACTION AGAINST
 COMPANIES TAKEN

PHOENIX, Nov. 6.-In connection with the operation of the Investment company laws. the state commission found it necessary to take criminal action against three companies op- erating in the Jerome distrirt. for sell ing stock without a permit.
 Quite recently a number of com panies have assumed to inaugurate . rather extensive advertising stock selling campaign. offering what they termed "pre-organization stock" Such stock was sold prior to the incorpora- lion of the companies and before any application had been made for a per nit. much less any authority being granted. It is obvious that the prac- tice is unlawful. and if permitted to continue would nullify the investment company laws.
 The county attorney of Yavapai county was very prompt and vigor- ous, arresting those complained of, who appeared in the justice court in Prescott, waived preliminary exam nation. plead guilty in the superior court Each was assessed sl50, which was paid.
