EXPLAINS PLAN TO.
 DEVELOP FARM LANDS
(Fiom Fridays Daily.0

Lloyd Sigler, representing the syn,
 dicate that has taken over and vii
 colonize the lands of the Hassayampa
 Alfalfa Farms Company, outlined the
 plans of his firm at a meeting of the
 Chamber of Commerce last night His
 talk was enthusiastically received and
 at the conclusion the members voted
 him assurance of the hearty co-opera-
 ton and support of that body.
 "I have been here for several weeks investigating the colonization pro- ject," said Siglcr, "and am convinced of its merits. We realize that the
 first man to care for is the farmer. The irrigation business itself is the poorest business in the world and should be gone into only by the wealthy man who does not expect to get any returns for years. This com pany realizes that it is in for a hard pull. We have already invested in tine neighborhood Of half million dol lars and arc ready to invest another half million if necessary.
 'We will first develop 4,000 acres Of the land, and later on plan to take up much more. Our largest asset here is the market. The farmer is not inter ested in how much he can raise but how much he can get for what he raises, and unless the farmer is sue cessful the company cannot be sue cessful. In developing the first 4000 acres we want only the farmer with S5,000; not necessarily in cash but in some resource that proves that he is not failure, for we cannot take a failure and make a good farmer out of him. We will loan the farmer money enough to build his home and to carry him over the first year, and we will give him plenty of time to pay us back.
 "We have already set aside Sl5,000 for advertising and will immediately start publicity campaign for Yava- pal county and our particular lands | throughout the Salt River valley and | Southern California. We will not sell | the land through real estate agents but through men who have been in our employ for years and know just what class of dependable farmers we want"
 Frank Whisman and NJ. A. King also spoke at the meeting on the plan to improve the city streets by the most modern oiling and rolling methods King is an expert on road construc- ion and maintenance and has been by the city 10 look after that work in Prescott.

the ore will eventually be cut by the
 shaft itself. All work on the property is being concentrated in the south cross-cut with view of proving the width of the new ore body. As soon as the new road to the Pittsburg-Jc- rome property, now under construc- ton. is completed the new compressor hoist and other equipment will be rushed to the mine for installation and development, which should soon bring it into the producing class will be started.

SAYS HE SHOT PADDY
 TIN IN SELF-DEFENSE
(From Sundays Daily)

The prosecution tentatively con,
 cluded the examination of its wit.
 nesses in the trial of Ashley Wilson
 E. Nash and D. NJ. Robertson, charg-
 ed with staying Taddy Tin, in the
 Federal court yesterday. Two of the
 defendants, Wilson and Nash, were
 placed on the stand by Attorney E.
 s. Clark, in charge of the defense
 and testified regarding the incidents which led up to the struggle with Paddy Tin which resulted in the lat ter's death.
 Wilson, a tall, dark-haired young fellow, told a straightforward story on the stand. He described a previ- ous attempt to arrest Taddy Tin which was abandoned on account of bad weather. On the occasion of the shooting, he said, he had had a war rant from the superintendent of the reservation for the arrest of the In dian. The warrant was introduced as evidence. He told of having attempt cd to overpower the Indian in the hogan of another Navajo and ad- mitted having shot Taddy Tin, but said he did so only when the Navajo, one of the most powerful members of the tribe, had drawn a gun.
 Nash, a slender, boyish-looking fellow, told similar story. He said he was an old friend of Wilson's and had met him by appointment at the Kaiveto store about the middle of January and from there had gone with Wilson when the latter attempt cd to arrest the Navajo. Nash said he had seen Taddy Tin frequently about the store at Kaiveto and that the Indian always went about armed Nash said he was outside the hogan" when the shooting occurred.
 When turned over to United States Attorney Flynn, Nash was subjected 10 long and gruelling cross-exam- nation. Every possible detail was questioned by Flynn and the ques- lions shot at Nash so fast that he was forced at times to stop and think for several moments before answering. | The prosecution was unable to shake he main points in Nash's testimony put succeeded several times in get ing the witness tangled up on dis ances, directions and time. The case will be continued Monday On the whole, the defense had a shade the better of the trial yesterday, holding ts own in spite of the vigorous at empts of the prosecution to break own the testimony that the Indian ad been killed in self-defense.

BIG ORE BODY IS
 EXPOSED IN FANNIE
(From Sundays Daily.)

Satisfactory reports were given yes tcrday by Superintendent w. L. Com CT of the Bannie, situated in Walker district, and in his opinion believes the property will prove to be big when greater depth is reached.

II HARD WORK ID MAKE
 STATEMENT
GOVERNOR SAID TO BE PUZZLED TO ACCOUNT FOR HIS PRIMARY ELEC- TON EXPENDITURES.

PHOENIX, Sept. P. - Now that the primaries are over and all know
 who the nominees are, it is rumored
 on the streets and in the hotels tha,
 the governor is seriously worried to
 know how to make up his campaign expense account and come within the
 statutory provision that candidate
 for governor can spend not more than 5000 for campaign expenses.
 Besides the expenses of his army of appointees, it is pointed out that the governor must have spent sev- eral thousand dollars for newspaper and other literature. It is asserted that several hundred thousand circu- lars and pamphlets were printed for the governor and mailed from his office.
 During the last month of the cam paign he secured the services of sev- eral newspapers. For instance he had page of Southwestern Stock man Farmer. It is stated that S1 ,250 was paid for this Then there is the State Herald. The editor of this sheet demanded S4,OO0 if it supported Olney, which was turned down, then it threw its support to Governor Hunt. There is also the Messenger.
 The editor of that sheet stated be- fore election that the governor and his packers had agreed to put up S2,500 to make a daily of that sheet. and that after portion of the equip ment had been ordered, backed out. Then the Messenger announced that its position on the governors race would be neutral, but few weeks be- fore election became a rabid Hunt supporter. The management of that sheet has not yet announced whether | the full $500 was paid or not. The above are few of the items which i are being traced down, and which will | be fully shown up during the

Heads Likely to Drop.

Another well defined rumor affect
 ing the State house is causing a great
 deal of comment here. It is said tha.
 three clerks in the State land depart
 ment and one in another department
 will shortly be looking for new jobs.
 It cannot be ascertained whether or
 not the governor is dissatisfied with their work in the campaign. Should this be the cause it is quite likely that other heads will quietly drop.
 Since the election there is great activity on and around the fair grounds to get everything in readi- ness for the State fair. Of course the general election comes before the fair and this may cause another lull in the preparations, although that is hardly likely to occur.
 Tom Campbell is here, and seems to be confident that he will pass under the wire away ahead of Hunt. No vember 7th. A solid Republican vote will be behind him, and it is known that hundreds of voters who voted for Hunt at the primaries will cast their ballot for Campbell in the general election. Then there is the 70 per cent of the Democratic vote that did not go to the polls, large majority 1 Of which will go to Campbell, being thoroughly disgusted with the prescn, Democratic administration. Camp bell has discovered that he cannot rely on any of the Olney votes, as it IS pointed out that that is the real Democratic vote of the State. They lre the fellows who always stay with he party nominee, although they of en know, as in the present case, that

Proceedings Threatened.

Another thing that is said to be worrying the governor is the rumor that some of the candidates whom Dunbar's Weekly bitterly fought arc preparing to bring criminal libel pro- ceedingS against the editors of that magazine. IL is said that it would be useless to bring a civil suit for libel against that sheet as it has no prop erty, but that it is printed in the Ari- zona Republican office, and that a civil libel suit will be brought against that publication under the United States law, which provides:
 "A printer who prints libel and delivers the printed copies to the author, knowing that he intends tc submit them to various persons to be read becomes liable as a publisher of such libel from the moment any third person reads it"
 It IS also rumored that the Repub- lican management was not aware Of the provision of law until just before Dunbar's last issue before election was printed, when two pages were discarded and other matter substi- tuted

HEALTHY CONDITION OF METAL MARKET BRINGS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT OF MANY PROPERTIES.
(By William P. De Wolff

With the metal market in the heal thiest condition for many months and the stock market in equally good shape, mines in Yavapai county are being developed at a rate that seems almost impossible. Activity in the Verde copper field, at Jerome and vi cinity, continues to lead all other dis tricts in the county, although many properties in every part of Yavapai are being developed with satisfactory results.

San Andres, 40 miles on the railroad
west of Chihuahua City, toward San

along the railroad, from which they
poured a heavy fire into the Carranza
troops. "
The Carranza forces retreated to
Santa Ysabel, then to Palomas and
are now reported to be in Fresno, a
few miles west of Chihuahua City
Carranza officials here admit there
has been heavy fighting between San
ia Ysabel and Chihuahua City, .-
Gen. Jacinto B, Trevino,, command
ing the forces of the Carranza com
mander in Chihuahua City, sent de-
nial to Gen. Francisco Gonzales in
Juarez Of the report that Gen. Carlos
Ozuna had been killed during the
fighting with the Villa forces, west OF

i Villa spent several days on the San
ia Anna ranch, near Namiquipa, one of
the Hearst properties, before he and
his band suddenly left a week ago, ac-
cording to letter received here from
the manager Of the ranch. They were
hunting for caches of ammunition
which they were unable to find, The
bandits slaughtered 600 beeves and
turned their horses loose to feed in
the cornfelds of the ranch, the letter
said. All available horses were
seized. @ ..
A scouting force from the Fifth

CHINESE TERRITORY
@ e. SEIZED BY FRENCH
SQUARE MILE OF LAND AROUND
TlEN TSIN WAS GRABBED
RESISTANCE is LIKELY.

Peking.-A square mile Of territory
adjoining the French concession at
Tien Tsin has been forcibly seized by
the French consul with the assistance
of troops The Chinese police were
arrested and Frenchmen substituted
for them, Replying to a protest from
the Chinese foreign office, the French
legation at Peking replied it assumed
the responsibility of any violence that
might result from the action.
The district occupied by the French
is thickly populated, and the Chinese
are threatening violence, as they have
stubbOrnly resisted for many years an
neXation to the French concession,
and its protest to the French legation
the foreign office gave warning that it
would not be responsible if violence
resulted.
The Chinese press is violently as
sailing the action of the French, de-
claring that it "surpasses japanese
tactics and is actual warfare against
defenseless China"
TienTsin is the port of Peking, and
has a population of 100000. The
French concession in Tien Tsin is sit
uateG on the eastern bank of the Hal
Ho and prior to its present extension
was about one mile and a half long
by a half mile in width. South of the
French concession lies the British con-
cession, While to the north are the
Italian and Japanese settlements
The territory that has been taken
by the French was the sole remaining
district in the foreign concessions in
habited by natives, and its seizure by
the French probably means that the
Chinese section will be entirely elimi-
mated from the foreign area.
