HORRIBLE CRIME |S BEING RUN
 DOWN
AzbiII Brothers of This City Under Arrest Accused of Killing Boy Last Fall

. RESCOTT-Sheriff W. H. Dick son of Coconino county, who spent several days in Prescott last week, stated that he had placed under arrest Henry and Morris Azbill, both former residents of this city and county for the murder last flal of a young man, whose body was found in lake of the Johnson Cattle Co.,, south of Williams
 In an effort to establish the identity of the victim of one of the most cold blooded of crimes, there was only a thread to follow, a vague description of the companions of the murdered young man. One clue and another was grasped, and finally those answer ing the description of the two men last being seen with the deceased, were taken into custody on the Colo rado river, and are now in jail at Flagstaff. Their capture was effect | ed through system of tracing their meanderings for over four months, and by means of certain business dealings they had in disposing of property of their alleged victim. The gold watch of the dead boy, his rife, revolver, burros, wagon and, other ef- fleets were parceled out to different buyers, and through these dealings, the llnk Tn the long chaln was closed aud the Azbills were located and placed under arrest. Also in their possession was some clothing owned by the dead boy,and which later was identified by his father, as also were the guns, the gold watch, and other property.
 The crime of which the Azbill brothers are accused was horrifying They evidently shot and killed the boy for his property, and some cash on hand. After death an attempt was made to cover up the crime by throw

ing the body into the lake, with heavy boulder tied to the neck. Through some cause not known the body lodged on reef, few inches from the surface, and in this position was accidentally discovered later by the foreman of the Johnson Cattle Co.,, in riding the range. The alarm was then given, and the search start ed by Sheriff Dickson in person.
 The Azbill brothers and their sup posed victim started from Phoenix early last fall to hunt big game on the Mogollon mountains, and were infrequently seen at only a few range camps. Personal descriptions of the Azbills were obtained however, and finally in the remotest section of the State they were run down and cap tured.

FIRST PAYMENT 0N CARLISLE MINE
 |S MADE
Total Amount of Sale Price Was $500, ,o0o-OId Property Is Again Entered on List of Active Produc- CTS.

The examination of the old Carlisle mine at Steeplerock was completed by experts ting the company few days ago, and conditions under ground were found even better than was expected by the purchasers, con- sidering the fact that the mine had not been entered because of water, for IA or 15 years. The large bodies of low grade ore were found to exist as represented in the report of the Eng fish engineer, which was one of the fa ctors in the sale The first payment on the purchase price, $10,000 was made to George H. Utter,l of Silver City, following the examination and a second payment of $40,000 will be made in July. The total amount of the sale price is $300,00O.
 This sale was one of the most re- markable ever made in the history of Grant county mining. The mine was taken over by the purchasers on what was known of the past history of the mine, including an elaborate report which MT Utter had secured from the former owners in London, England. They spent at least $10,000 in getting the mine unwatered so that an exam ination could be made. Strange to say, the report which sold the mine condemned it on the ground that there was nothing but great masses of refractory ore in the mine. These ores are no longer refractory and the mine will doubtless be a steady pro- ducer for years to come. Events have proven that MT. Utter's judgment in regard to this property was absolutely well founded.
 The new owners will commence the shipment of certain ores almost at once, hauling them to Duncan, Ariz. i,

men, and expects to produce this year 30O,0OO,0OO pounds of copper. During the last two years the con- pany has expended S10,000,000 or more in improvements at the Washoe
 smelter, the Great Falls reduction works, and the Butte mines. The Washoe plant has been reconstructed and enlarged, the concentrator plant remodeled and oil fotation plant in- stalled, a new reverberatory plant built, the converter plant remodeled, the power substation enlarged, the new sulphuric acid plant erected and equipped, and improvements made in other departments. Another import ant improvement was the construc- tion of 2000 ton teaching plant, to recover copper and silver from 15,- 100000 tons of tailings.

SPECIAL RATES FUR THE BIC ELkS
 REUNION
Certificate Plan Assures Low Fares;
 Ornate Announcement Posters Is sued.

BISBEE+Letters from all of the railroads of the state have been re- ceived by the committee of the local Elks that has the matter of the State Reunion in hand. This insures uniform rate of one fare plus one-third for the round trip from any point in the state to :3isbee. This rate pre- vails coming from April 4 to and re turning April 6-10.
 The special rate to Bisbee for the Elks State Reunion is under the certi- ficate plan. It prevails provided there are more than 50 in attendance this to be certified and the tickets to be validated by the secretary of the local committee As Douglas and Tucson may each be expected to send at least that number, the rate is assured long in advance of the convention and re- union.
 Posters announcing the B. P. O. Elks Reunion in Bisbee April 6-S have been sent out by the secretary of the Bisbee committee. Printed in purple ink on heavy paper,the size of a page of the Review, they are highly attrac- tive in appearance and still more so in the features or enterta1nment pro- missed. Foremost of these is the trip to the Shattuck cave with attendant features and auto trips to Tombstone over the splendid mountain boulevard to Douglas with its smelters and to the battlefields of Naco and Agua Prieta in Mexico with the trips underground into the mines of the District. A fea- ture of interest to the general pub lie will be the monster. Elks parade that the poster also announces.

NOTABLE PARTY OF MINING MEN IN
 ARIZONA
Inspection of Inspiration Properties Scheduled-Rumored Merger of In- spiration Properties With Anacon- da is Not Authentic.

GLOBE, March 8-A notable party of mining men, who have come to Arizona to visit some of the principal copper camps of the state arrived in Globe late yesterday afternoon and will spend today inspecting the In- spiration Consolidated Copper com pany's mine and works, and the h. ternationaI shelter. The visitors were met here by General Manager c! E. Mills, of the Inspiration con- pany.
 The personnel of the party is as follows: c. F. Kelly, vice-president . of the Anaconda Copper Mining com pany, and president of the Interna- t:onal Smelling and Refining com pany, with headquarters at New York City; John Gilie, of Butte, Mont, general manager of the Anaconda company; Fred Laist, metallurgical manager of the Anaconda company; Anaconda company; P. l.. Foster, of New York, American director of the London Exploration company; and w.
 thornton, of New York, vice-presi- dent of the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company.
 Visit Ray Consolidated.
 The first copper property visited by the party was the Ray Consolidat- ed at Ray and Hayden, and they mo- tored to Globe from Phoenix over tho Apache Trail. Leaving here ton1or- row, the visitors will go to Bisbee and Douglas, and perhaps will visit other copper mining centers before their de parture from the state.
 interviewed by a representative of the Globe Record, MT. Kelly said that this is his first visit to Arizona and he expected to derive both pleasure and profit from the trip. He was pleased with the Salt River valley and impressed by the urged grander oi the Apache Trail, the imposing Roose welt dam, and beauty of the lake.
 Merger is Denied
 One of the first questions asked MT Kelly, was, whether the rumor that has been going the rounds of the min ing and financial press to the effect that the Inspiration would likely be merged with the Anaconda was au thentic? He stated positively that there was no truth in the rumor; that there had been no negotiations look ing toward such an amalgamation.
 Butte, like other great copper min ing districts, is experiencing greater activity and prosperity than ever be fore in it's history. The Anaconda company employees more than 12,OOC

the nearest railroad point. Work upon the construction of large concentrat- ing plant will be rushed to handle those ores which cannot be shipped in their present condition.
 The Carlisle is only one of many mines of similar character in the Steeplerock district and already the work on this property has shown its influence on the district which is destined to add largely to the metal production of Grant county.

 He thanked the teachers for their work during the last year and asked their co-operation for next. Teach ing children, not teaching bool1s,' will be our aim, he said.

MUGWUMPS

The first general use of the word "muSwump' as applied to a deserter
 from a political party was during the presidential campaign of 1884 On June 18th of that year a New York newspaper referred to the independent Republicans who had deserted Blaine as t'nugwumps,'' and the word was immediately taken up all over the United States as a fit appellation for the disaffected Republicans calling themselves tsindependents-' The word is supposed to be of Algonquin origin, and was used by the Connecticut Indians as a synonym for captain, leader, or superior person. In the modern political meaning it is ap- piled satirically to those who consider themselves superior to their former partisan associates. It has also been alleged that ''mugwump" was used by some Indians to designate an Ind ian who left his own tribe to marry into another. but there seems to be little if any basis for this explanation of the words origin The word was incorporated into the United States language long before it obtained it's modern political significance, being often used in New England and the middle West as a synonym for "dude, pharisee, or hypocrite.

Monro is of the quiet
 bulldog class of fighters, and his
 beaang is characterized by the dig nlAed simplicity of the best type of
 professional soldiers. Entering the army in 1897, he rose to the rank of
 captain in ten years, and. became a
 colonel in 1sos His first active ser vice was on the northwestern frontier
 Of India in 1879, and he won his first
 medal there. He has also fought in Egypt and South Africa, achieving
 medal in the conflict with the Boers.
 For some years after the African war

 codnmandant of the School of Mus
 Retry at Hythe, and in 1907 he was made brigadier-general in command of troops stationed in Dublin. At the l outbreak of the war he went to

HOW HILL PROVIDED
 FOR GREAT NORTHERN
mall Street Journal.l

In the railroad world, James J. Hill is known as the man who, more than anyone else, revoIutionized the cost of operation, and made heavy train load ing a. fact and not a wish. It was Great Northern's low operating cost that caused an eastern banker to re- mark: eff that man Hill doesn't look out his net will be larger than his gross
 While HilE stood out as railroad operator his building of Great North ern's financial structure was no less remarkable. He was among the first to see in the blanket refunding mort gage, tbe best instrument for safe guarding and providing for financial needs of the future.
 E In 1911 the creation of a $500 ,000, 900
 mortgage by the Great Northern made the financial districts buzz with com ment and conjecture. At that time MT. Hill said: "It creates a financial (Great Northern's) several outstand- ing securities may be converted into one of standard form and value; and it forms in addition a reservoir of au- thorized credit so carefully guarded by the conditions of the mortgage pated, yet so ample that it will supply all needs for proba bly, fifty years to come.
 ..The financial outlook of this com pany is well assured as that of
 most governments. No emergency can surprise it.. And the development of it's business makes the payment of dividends on the stock as certain as that of it's bond coupons More than one-half of the $500 600 GOO mortgage is to be used to redeem un- deriving: bonds and those issued to buy the Great Northern's interest in the Burlington. Nearly $123, ,O00,O0o may be
 used to cover the cost of other prop critics acquired or to be acquired:
 while $10O, 100000 may be issued, at
 not to exceed $3, 100000 a year, to cover
 the cost of construction, acquisition 1 and betterments. So far s35 900 900
 bonds have been sold under the mort gage.
 1 Since Great Northern created it's
 blanket mortgage, several large sys-
 tens, notably, Northern Pacific, St.
 Paul, Baltimore and Ohio, New York Central and Pennsylvania have fol-
 lowed suit, and others are considering
 it.
 l Great Northern has $250, ,000, ,0oo stock
 outstanding, and when that amount | was reached in 1914 by the offer of l $19, ,000, GOO stock to stockholders at par | MT. Hill said that a, quarter of a bill 1 lion stock for Great Northern rounded
 out the issue of shares, and added
 that it would probably remain at that
 figure for good and all.

 Commissioners Tague and Lindqu1st were appointed a committee to con sider the advisability of abolishing the alarm bells in the fire houses.
