 Mfr. Leni was an Indian agent, with headquarters at Fort Whipple, and the mission of his son is for no other purpose than to investigate his death and place in the family memoirs data thereof. The deceased bore a prom inent name in carly days of this re- zion in temporizing with the Apaches through moral suasion and Christian teachings. For time ne succeeded, and to his credit over 75 Indians were pacificd and converted. On his last trip in a blackboard from Whipple to Camp Date creek. he was waylaid in Bells canyon. by the Indians he knew so well, and shot down. with his clerk. The body of the latter after death was not disturbed. but that of Mir. Lchi. however, was frigntfully mutilatcd. placed on huge boulder and burned to a crisp.
 Lehi's death occasioncd nationwide comment al the time. When killed he was cn route 10 San Francisco to join his wife and family. among the latter being his son who is now in this city, a baby boy at that time in the cradle. The visitor will leave in few days to DhotopraDh the scene where his fath- CT was killed. and which place still shows the charred boulder on which the body was crematcd.

H|GHGRADERS IN NEW ROLE OF
 OPERATING
FOUR IDLE QUARTZ MILLS NEAR THIS CITY ARE RE- LEVIED OF THEIR COP PER PLATES.
(From Sundays Daily.)

An attorney of this city, who repre- sents four defunct mining companies, which have milling plants on their idle properties, imparted the surpris- ing news yesterday that he had been advised of highgraders entering these premises and taking away full sets Of copper plates used in each of these mills.
 The aggregate weight of these util- ities is estimated at over 2,5O0 pounds. and their value runs to over S2OOO. In each case there was no keeper at the plant, and the thieves were per mitted free hand without being mo- tested. An examination of the grounds showed that 2 team had been used in one robbery, and the tracks of the wagon were followed to certain point on the main highway. After ripping off the copper plates other sections of the mill buildings were visited, and every article in which copper figured was also stolen. The copper plate attachment to quartz mill has as a rule a high valuation. based on age and usage in absorbing gold. A case is recalled where a set of plates from fve-stamp mill in this county, shipped to the Selby Smelt- ing Co.,, in San Francisco, brought a total of S762, and from which it is be- lieved the gold recovered represented over half the above sum. The older the plate the more valuable is term to be generally applied to these nec- essary attachments to the standard gold mill.
 The robber;es follow those of a few weeks ago in this city when the idle plant of the Arizona Brewing Co.,, was entered, and the copper bottoms of two large tanks were sawed off, and these vessels made worthless The brewery plant was also relieved of other articles in which copper formed base in making. The bold ness of the robberies going on is oc- casioning wide comment. and mill owners arc diligently protecting their interests in certain cases.

THREE-CENT FARE FOR PEOPLE OF
 ARIZONA
(From Sundays Daily)

PHOENIX, June TO- - Three-cent passenger fare on the lines of the Santa Fe, and Southern Pacific, and rates of 311 and 4 cents mile on the Arizona Eastern are prescribed in an order of the Arizona corporation com mission issued Saturday Three cents a mile is also prescribed on the line of the Ray & Gila Valley railroad. Existing passenger rates on other railroads operating in Arizona arc not disturbed by the order, which be- comes effective August 1st.
 The commissions order affects all the lines of the Santa Fe and South ern Pacific within the State, including both main and branch lines, or lines being operated under lease. The threc-cent rate. however. does not ap- ply to the Arizona Eastern railroad. subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company, connecting Phoenix and the Salt River valley with the main line of the Southern Pacific at Mari copa, and the Globe Miami district with the main line at Bowie. The passenger fare on the Arizona East ern is fixed at four cents mile OH the Globe and Cochise divisions and at three and one-half cents on the Phoenix division, which includes the line to Florence, Hayden and Winkel- man. The order, as it affects the Arizona Eastern is effective for oO days at the end of which time the road is to furnish the commission with certain data to be prescribed as to expenses and profits under the new order.
 The commissions order is the re- suit of an exhaustive investigation oi passenger rates within the State oi Arizona. When Arizona became a State one of the first bills to pass the legislature provided for three-cent fare on all the railroads of the State. A referendum was invoked against the measure, but before the next cleo ton the State Supreme court handed down a decision which left all regula- ton of railroad rates to the corpora ton commission. The referred meas ure was approved by large majority at the general election in 1914, but the vote on the question had no effect at that time in the light of the Supreme court decision.
 Existing passenger rates range from four to ten cents mile. the latter high rate applying on some of the smaller roads to mining camps.
