the case under advisement.
 Martinez was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Guy Bozarth and Night Pc liccman Tom McMahon early on the morning of May l2 in local lodging house In the room with Martinez was Roman Nurillo, whose throat was slashed and wno was almost exhaust ed from loss of blood. The two men had been fighting in the room for sev- eral minutes but Louis Bernard, pro prietor of the house, had heard their voices, thought an insane man was in the room and locked the door until the officers arrived Murillo was talk en to the county jail and his wounds sewed up.
 At the hearing yesterday Murillo testified that Martinez had attempted to steal a money belt from him and that he had fought the latter to save bis money. He said that Martinez had cut him with the razor and tha, when the officers finally rushed into the room he had thought that he was mortally wounded.
 Martinez, testifying in his own be- half, claimed that he had awakened and found Murillo attempting to steai S60 which belonged to him. He ex- plained AIurillo's wounds by saying that the latter had held the razor and that in the struggle he, Martinez. had probably forced Murillo's hand against his throat. He denied that the razor was his.
 Murillo frequently laughed sarcas- ticly and seemed to hugely enjoy the testimony of Martinez. In view Of the fact that each man accused the other of having started the trouble Justice McLane decided to take the case under advisement before releas- ing Martinez or binding him over foi trial. Both men are held in the coun- ty jail.

GREAT SOUTHERN NEARING ITS
 ORE BODY
GEN. MANAGER DIVIS IS PROSECUTING DEVELOP MENT ON PROMISING M'CABE PROPERTY.
(From Sundays Oaily)

Development of the estate of the Great Southern Gold Mining Company in the McCabe district is being diligently prose cuted under the supervision of General Manager A. W. Davis. and is attended tive of the proximity of an ore body. Mir. Davis is a mining man of experi-
 nee and has a practical working knowledge of the ore occurrencies of the McCabe and other mining sections of Yavapai county. He is interested in a number of mining properties here and has been instrumental in bringing con siderable outside money to this section for mine development purposes.
 The northwest crosscut from the bot tom, or 2S2-foot level of the Great South ern shaft. is within approximately 90 feet of the intersection of the Henrietta and Hammer veins, both of which have at other points carried extensive shoots of high grade gold ore. The Henrietta vein. in particular is enriched not alone with gold. but with copper and silver as well. At the point of its juncture with the Hammer vein it is probable large and valuable ore shoot will be encount- cred Such is the opinion or Mir. Davis and of the miners in his employ, most of whom are investing in Great South ern shares.
 Drifts are to be sent out in both di- rections on the Henrietta vein the one to the west picking up at a point about 100 feet from the station, the famous Silver Belt lead The latter is pro ducer of high grade silver-zince ore in large tonnage and is today one of the most valuable in the McCabe section. About 300 feet west of the end line of the Great Southern estate Is located the famous high grade gold ore shoot from which the McCabe Mining Company min ed upward of s2.OOO,OOO worth of ore. The Great Southern shaft is being sunk along the dike of which the ore shoot men, toned was a part, and as in the Me Cabe workings. the high grade or bod ies in the Southern will probably make against the north wall of this dike.

MOCCASINS TO SOON
 BE THE NEXT FAD
(From Thursdays Dailyl

Prescott dealers in shoes have been advised to anticipate another advance in this article, owing to conditions that are seriously affecting the supply of leather, but in which, however, tie European war is not given as basic reason why this commodity is to be increased in price.
 The statement is made by manufac- turers that from 1907 up to 1910 in- elusive, the population has increased while tile number of beef steers has decreased at an alarming ratio. It $ predicted that shoes now selling for $ may reach a price double that amount in a reasonable time. In 1907 there were, according to government statistics. 5l.565,731 beef cattle in the United States. which had a poprla- ton at that time of 7,31, ,559. 1n 1916 the number of cattle had dropped to 39.000,OO0 head. while the popuis- ton had increased to over lO3.OOOOOO Tn reviewing prices of recent months, that have been steadily advancing on the basis of the raw material supply becoming limited. local dealer said yesterday: "My Eastern wholesale increased the price of the last ship ment some months ago an average or about Is cents per pair. and the las, lot received by me went up 50 cents per pair. The reason given was that the numbers of cattle and people ir this country are moving al an inverse ratio, the cattle decreasing and tne population increasing" The fact Is also mentioned that black dull calf leather. that sold in March, 1915. at 30 cents per foot. on January l. l9iS, was A cents per foot, and in this ra- tio all other leather goods have kept advancing since the first of the year.

EARLY LANDMARK
 TELLS STORY OF LONG AGO
(From Fridays Daily.)

One of the few remaining landmarks of early days in Prescott, is fast fad ing away into memory, in the trans forming of the Cliff house, on the cor ner of Cortez and Willis streets into a modern labitation, to be used here after by Cavell's second hand store. The lumber placed therein nearly a third of a century ago, is being re moved, and will be used again but under a new arrangement in interior design, in which this old-time lodging house goes out of business. The ma terial is in hrst-class condition, as good as the day when it was placed in position. A. J. Head, the owner, is in charge of the work, and is hanG- ling every piece removed. In a re miniscent mood yesterday, he said:
 Nearly a third of century ago I was employed by Clark & Adams, as their head sawyer at their mill on Willow creek, near Thumb Butte. and with these same hands I handled ev- cry stick of lumber that IS being piled up on the sidewalk Today I am again carefully laying away every piece. IS you can sec. l don't want anyone 10 assist me as there is something more than sentiment echoing from this mass of silent material. I got my first start from that firm. and a. hat time it was my last thought or wish for that matter to ever believe that at some future time l was to be the owner of this or any other build ing in which this lumber was to be used. l mad no idea of remaining in the country, and as l review tie shadowy days of so long ago. tiie dreams of the young man fade ava, and the inevitable dawns. This lum- ber is cherished for the sweet mem ories it echoes, and for its refreshin : recollections of an era that time has nearly obliterated in looking back ward at the good old days"
 MT. Head stated also that J. J. Gardner. the merchant, whose place Of business is on the opposite side Q; me street, had fire hauling contract of Clark & Adams, and he likewise, handled every piece of the lumber now being piled up. Both townsme1 stayed with the game" of life. with characteristic Western zeal, and have prospered. MT. Head still handles lumber for his firm, but not in as strenuous a manner as in carly days, and on this occasion is simply keep ing in practice as the work has ten dency to recall the olden days when his physical ability had to assert it. self to keep the proverbial wolf from the door. Mir. Gardner likewise mas side-stcpped his carly-day vocation and is now selling instead of hauling, with prosperity his well-deserved re- ward.

 JEROME. June 3.-The condition of Northern Arizona roads this Sum mer was vividly told by Morris Good man and Al Riesman, travelling out of Los Angeles in a Buick car, who left Jerome this morning for Prescott. Mir. Goodman spoke of the roads as follows:
 From San Bernardino to Victor vile. we found the roads to be very good with a few bad chuck holes. From Barstow to Needles the road is not in good condition and there arc many dangerous curves. Especially dangerous was the curve which cross cs railway track just out of Bar stow.
 Leaving California at Needles and going to Oatman via Topoc. the road was fair as far as Topoc but from there to Oatn:an it was very bad. The short and much travelled stretch from Oatuan to Kingman is mostly rough with dangerous curves. There arc however, one or two stretches of good road
 The road from Kingman to Selie- man was the worst of the trip and that from Seligman to Jerome June ton was no better. From the june ton to Prescott, though, the road was in excellent shape.
 Good roads made easy driving from Prescott to Jcromc The seen cry was very interesting and l was sorry I had no camera. Although there arc hard grades from Prescott to Jerome, the road is so built that the climb was taken with case"
 Both Goodman and Riesman de, clared that the grades of Yavapai roads were the best they mad ever seen. On the way out Of Kingmar, the motorists nearly succeeded in crossing the Great Divide by sliding down hill. By strenuous effort. Good man kept the car to the road.
 From all reports Of motorists pass ing through this part of the State, Navapai county leads in road build ing.

INDIAN OFFICERS
 BACKED UP BY FLAGSTAFF
(From Saturdays Daily)

After carefully examining witness es, dispositions and all information ac cessible bearing upon the case of Stu perintendent Walter Runke, of the Western Navajo reservation, who, with E. Nash, Ashley Wilson and D.. NJ. Robertson, was indicted by the Federal grand jury at its March ses- sion in Prescott for the staying of Paddy Tin, Navajo, the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce recently sub mitted report of its findings to the commissioner of Indian affairs at Washington. Runkc is at liberty on bail, but his three employees are held in the Yavapai county jail awaiting trial, which will probably take place in August.
 The Flagstaff organization. in its report, claims that the Indian was well known as a notorious character, a menace to the welfare and advance ment of his own people, and a per sistent and unyielding influence for bad against the whole policy of the government and every other organ ized effort working within the tribe V
 The report says that the action of the agent which unexpectedly result ed in the killing of Taddy Tin was within the bounds of his jurisdiction and in no way a violation of the rules of the department. The report points out that similar incidents on Indian reservations have been approved and sustained by the department.
 The Chamber of Commerce urges the Indian department, in its note, to appoint an attorney to defend Runke and the three others, ard to arrest any further procedure against them.

ONLY DRAWBACK TO
 PROSPERITY IS REMOVED
(From Saturdays DaiIy)

The only drawback to the unex- ampled prosperity of Arizona has been removed and the forward speed of the development of the State dur ing the next few months will be as never before in its history, says re- port of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines. The low price of silver no longer hangs over the market afford ing an excuse for the delay in the restoration of the high state of pros perity.
 Silver occurs with so many ores i'll the State Of Arizona that the increas- cd price of silver makes decided in crease in the production at many oi the mining camps, and reports arc being received that shipments arc stimulated and further exploration greatly encouraged.
 Silver remained very low after the war and was the very last to respond to the conditions that have boosted the market for all of the other met als. With the increase in silver comes greater returns, greater wages. etc. and more material prosperity. which will be reacted over the entire State.
 In 1915 there was a record produc ton of silver in Arizona. the outpu; increasing from 4,377,o ,oo4 ounces ir 1914 to about 5,45S,O00 ounces in 1915, or over 24 per cent. having a total value of about S2,7Sl 900. With an in crease in the value of silver of almost 40 per cent, it is readily seen what this means to the total States pro duction. The greater part of the sil- yer comes from the copper ores, sl- though the increased shipments of silver-lead ores have also contributed to the increase. The silver produc- ton from zinc ores and lead-zinc ores is not great, but siliccous ores in Co., chisc county supply a material per centage. The Commonwealth mine at Pearcc and the Bunker Hill mine at Tombstone contribute the greater part of the Coc!lise county silver.
 Every increased price in metals adds hundreds of thousands of dol lars to Arizona's importance,

A COMING PROFITABLE
 INDUSTRY FOR WOMEN
By MARY E. HART


 Miss Morris Wagner and Miss Irmagrade Richards are demon stratlug the fact that goat-raistng that is, the rearing of imported breds-~ is a most renumeratiVe in dustry, and especially adapted for the S. called weaker sex" These young ladies have a flock of half a hundred, full blood and mixed preds, which command a ready sale of from $2OO.OO to $2O.00 per head, according to pedigre. The mir at hospitals is in demand at six cents per gallon and one of the large San Francisco markets has a standing offer of an equal amount per pound for all the goat milk cheese that can be produced from the Los Cabritas herd, the name that has been adopted.
 The animals increase rapidly and entail scarcely any expense for main .aihance aside from the labor of herding as the succulen+ grasses and tw:gs in the beautiful Montara canyons furnish ample provision.
 A pure bred doe will give four to six quarts of milk daily in season, and one gallon of milk makes a pound O. the most delicious cheese. Only lO5 of these Toggen'burgs hay been imported into the United States and the young ladies are con graduating themselves upon the quality as well as the rapidly in creasing number of their herd. The work of herding, milking, and rheese-making is all done by the two girls, who have formed a CO., partnership, and the ont-door life has transformed them from frail and almost anaemic college gradu- ates into pictures of blooming healt and unbounded energy.
 A feew days since they burned of the thick dead underbrush and weeds on the hillsides of their Dorth canyon and will soon have a pasture of succulent growth when Ithe winter rains set in.
 The industry promises to become ropular in Alaska, small herd having already ben established at Sitka, and the writer is strongly tempted to give up all other inter- ests and transform at least a small portion of the so-called Frozen North" into an Arcadia similar to 'he delightful one SO recenly dis covered in the fertile canyons of beautiful Montara.-Tbe Coast Side Comet, Nov, IS, Montara, Cal. ta

A RESTORED FRIENDSHIP
By ZiteIla Cooke

By ZitelIa Cooke 1 The noblest, truest riend had The friend 50 staunGh and leal, Whose love wrought of my kicks
 aud sights
 The very hooks Of steel Which grappled me unto his heart And held me there always The friend who never flinched or
 failed Was buried yesterday. And now today sit apart,
 Il musing sad and deSp, And wonder where my friend has
 gone,
 What fir .endships he may keep. For him could be no future woe, But, is a larger veal, A fuller life awaiting him
 That earth could not reveal? He lived, he felt, he thought, he loved, Can He who did bestow Tha' power of thought, that wealth Of love,
 His wondrous work forego? Or, shall the heart that beats so
 true
 To Gods own image here Know naught of it's Creators love In a diviner sphere? We may not speak beyond our ken Howe'er our thought may rove, But my own soul hath richer grown Because of this friends love. And it may be sometime, somewhere Some being I shall know, Who gives me welcome "Friend,
