ONE ON HIS REVERENCE.

A young factory hand and his girl
went to get married. They got as far
as the church, when he found out he
hadn't enough money to pay the we'd
ding fee. The clergyman would not
marry them, saying, "No money, no
wedding"
SO the girl asked would he wait
The clergyman said, dyes"
In little while the girl returned
with the money and the knot was duly
tied.
The girl now said to the clergyman:
Can anyone oppose our union?"
To which he replied:
Nobody, my daughter. Heaven
bless you"
The girl said:
"Then there's the pawn ticket for
your hat and coat, which I took from
the vestry and pawned!"
Collapse Of his reverence.

GRANITE DELLS ROAD
 A SCENIC WONDER
from Thursdays Daily.N


 Two roads into the Granite Dells. recently constructed, afford a strik ing revelation oi the beauties of that scenic spot. The new road to the Granite Dells bathing pool avoids the steep grades which were one of the drawbacks of the old road. The route passed through widely grouped piles cf granite boulders that have not been seen before except by the few climbers who have explored tue depths of the Dells
 The full expense of building this road was met by the management Of the resort. John Bianconi mas con tributcd decidedly to the attractive ness of-Prescott anl scenic marvels oi Arizona by the road he has built through the towering peaks of the Dells to his ranch. It required much dynamiting and hard work but tEe beauties revealed by the road are -c- markable.
 It was this part of the road that the supervisors refused to consider build- ing on the ground that its cost would be prohibitive Mir. Bianconi says that including a proper charge for h;s own time. the cost was not in excess of S2.200.
 The road IS closed at both ends. but parties wishing to traverse 1t can se- cure keys to the gates from Mir. Biar- conf. Ii this were a county road 1t would shorten the route to Jerome Junction and would provide materia; for every auto tourist who visited the DellS to write about to his friends. for the route is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the State.

COURT DECISION
 SAFEGUARDS INVESTORS
(From Thursdays Daily.0

A decision recently rendered by the Supreme court of the United States with respect to exaggeration in ad- yertising, is of very great importance to the many new promotions of min ing investments, says the Arizona State Bureau of Mines. The court held that exaggeration of statement was as much a misrepresentation IF kind ii not in degree, as deliberate falsehood. For many years the whcie mining industry has suffered and many parts of Arizona have suffered in particular, because of exaggerated and false statements relative to min ing investments, much money being raised from the investment of funds by ignorant people. The times have cnanged-people are now more close ly Investigating the property in which their money is going and the bus'- ness of mining is much better off or account of the more intelligent faith.
 Investment opportunities are in- creasing in Arizona daily; much capi- tai is entering the State, and the pol icy. Truth in Advertising and the investigation of mining investments is one of the greatest blessings that has lately come upon Arizona mining.
 The work of the State Bureau of Mines mas been largely to contribute its little share toward the education and improvement of the class of in vestors upon whom dependence must be placed for new capital. Many oth
 CT influences have been working along the same lines and the time has ar rived when the results are seen, for we are losing the wildcat promoter and are gaining the better class ot conservative. truthful. promotions.

VENTURE HILL IS PREPARING ID

(From Fridays Dsily.)

Announcement was made yester- day by those behind the movement. that the Venture Hill Mining Com pany. of the United Verde belt, woulI resume in a very short time, Prescott and Jerome shareholders. having pro vided an initial development fund O. SlS,000. In addition it is stated that a further sum of Sl2,000 will be avail able. ii required. four months later.
 The reviving of this property. after being idle for over seven years, is due 10 the attractive copper possi- bilities in evidence, the changed situ- ations to arise in recent years in pro scouting practical development, the close relationship to the United Yer de and the United Verde Extension holdings. with only one small group intervening between the two. and above everything else a geological condition that presents an induce ment for continuing old development on plans originally carried out to d limited extent only.
 The Venture Hill holdings, of six patented claims, arc situated less than a mile to the south of the main work ings of the United Verde. The prop ertv was first operated over Is years ago. but with copper at nominal price and mining methods of prim- itive nature, suspension took place. Ii was in appreciation of the splendid outlook facing this property that its stock was eagerly purchased by more people than any other company i'll Arizona.
 The services of high class mining engineer are to be secured. and after an inspection of old workings, de velopment is to begin. The principal exploration of carly days was tun nel. driven about 400 feet 10 tap all immense dyke, but which did no, reach the point desired from lack ol funds. Ii is estimated that extending the tunnel for 100 feet will give a yer tical depth of over 400 feet from thi apex. when future operations will be decided upon. On the group arc many shafts. sunk from 20 to SO fec in depth. all showing a mineral-bear ing condition which practical mininc men and copper engineers pronounce as indicating what has been proven on the United Verde and its neighbor the Little Daisy. A meeting on June 10th. at Jerome. will elect board o' directors, when final and definite ar engagements are to be closed up foi resuming.

CUTBERTH AND WEST FREED
 AT PRELIMINARY HEARING
Men Charged With Robbing Camp Verde Store, Prove Alibis and Cases
 Against Them Are Dismissed.

Rockers ranch, Saturday, April 29th. The prosecution claims that West had previously testified that he hal last seen Cutberth on Friday, April 18th. Cutberth left that morning. headed toward Government pass, sail West, stating that he would probably go down to the Tonto Basin country.
 Bob Heron. for the last 3 years a resident of the Tonto Basin country, next took the stand and testified that on the Sunday previous to the rob bcry. Cutberth had rode into nis place and stayed there all night The next day. said Heron, Cutberth help ed him haul rocks. On Tuesday morning, said Heron. he traded horses with Cutberth. giving the lat ter buckskin for the brown horse which Cutberth had been riding. Clt- berth then left, according to Heron, accompanied by the witness son, Francis. and leading a buckskin marc. belonging to Heron, for Haughi's ranch.
 Pete Taught was the last witness called by the defense He testified that Cutberth had ridden into his place on Tuesday afternoon. riding one buckskin horse and leading ar- other. the one claimed by Heron. The mare, said Taught, is still at the ranch. Of the buckskin found in his corral the following Thursday after noon by Clayton and Armer. Haupht said he knew nothing. other than that the horse had walked from the prairie into the corral and ne had locked it up. This horse is the one which Cut berth is alleged 10 have stolen from Charles Cordes, and for which alleged crime Cutbcrth was arrested last week and released on bonds.
 Attorneys for both the defense anl prosecution argued their cases before the court for several minutes. AttoT- ney Morgan then requested that tie case be dismissed for lack of evidence and this was granted.
 Neither Cutberth nor West took the stand during their hearing and a?- peared unaffected by either the testi- mony for or against them. So far a. the State is concerned the case Is over. but it is believed probable that Federal authorities will take hanG. inasmuch as the Wingticld store at Camp Verde Is also the United States postoftice.

stated intervals on the morning of the 3rd of July. most of the cars arriving here by dusk of the same day.
 The road from Phoenix here IS in excellent shape except a stretch of lZ miles from Skull valley to the Com mercial mines That part of the road has been badly cut up by team trucks and auto trucks hauling ore from the ueignboring mines. The dust is heavy and there are many high centers.Why cannot Prescott conduct Road Day a few days before the motorcade to Prescott and have the wide awake citizens here help to straighten ont that portion oi the road by leyelins of the high centcrs and scattering straw on the road? It is also suggest ell that the mine managers desist from hauling ore the week or Frontier Days SO all visiting autOists will find il a pleasure to tour on Iavapai roads.
 IL seems to me the greatest good that will accrue from these famous Frontier Days at Prescott will be in the number Of Southern Arizona pcO- pie that can be made to understand the value of allowing their families to stay here through the Summer months. Prescott has without doubt the finest Summer climate in the coun try and wite the many features tor pleasure and outings that the vicinity Of Prescott affords. together with the idea that Arizona people stay in Ari- zona" this thriving Mile High city will induce many of the families O; the south to make their permanent, or at least Summer homes, in this com munity. To take care of the surplus of the visiting families that may visit here, Prescott may adopt the plan O. Capitola. Cal. where the Chamber o. Commerce erected tents on a large suitable space and rent out these tents for the season at a price that will just cover the cost Of erecting such tents. | understand the Prescott Chamh er of Commerce has a most beautiful site for just such a proposition and t such a movement be made known throughout the State, orders will he sent in in advance 10 give this body of citizens here ar idea of just what equipment will be required and by communicating with such an organiza- ton as the Phoenix Tent & Awning O.. or similar company that handles tents in large quantities, very suitable low rates may be offered to many Arizona families that may otherwise plan to spend thousands of dollars for far less suitable or less picturesque quarters at the coast resorts.

AVONOALE AGAIN FIGURES IN THE

BOGUS SCION OF ENGLISH NOBILITY, ONCE OF PRESCOTT. RUNS HIS RACE IN CHICAGO.
(From Thnr.dav's Daiiv.l

In the Chicago Tribune of May Z". appears a sensational article whic: will be read with interest by mary Prescott people. wherein "Major" George Avondalc is the subject of q wholesome expose in the bogus role he was travelling under for several months in that city as of titled rani, in England. Avondalc was arrested by Federal officers and when an O. iicial investigation was about 10 be gin. he broke down and confessed himself fraud. Its all bunk hc said" l was caShiered from the British army l2 years ago, for deser- ton. I was never an officer and naAc been buncoing the people of Chicago, and as far away as Prescott, Ariz-. right and left"
 Avondale was taken into custody on loans advanced by several big CAi cago firms under the guise that hc was a representative of the British government in placing fabulously large orders for war munitions fo- the Allies This gave him social dis tinction as well as financial promin- ence in which he was lionized by many of the leaders of Chicago SC ciety. In this connection the Tribune says that If the letters found in Avondale's possession were made public many in that city can exercis- their imaginations by conjuring nn what the husbands would say
 Avondale's downfall was due to hi representations asc being an ordnanc, officer of the British government. a- well as son of Lord Avondale. II, mingled with intuition manufacturer and dined with tncm-at their eX pense of course. He also was ire quently seen talking with other bic business men of Chicago.

He will be detained until hi, case is more fully investigated. anC his financial obligations are looket into.
 Avondale will be remembered as having engaged himself 10 a youre heiress who was residing in Prescott about two years ago, al the Congrcss hotel. The day before the wedding he was booted out of that hostei-y for refusing to pay his bill. long over due. The girls mother then listened earnestly to friends. an investigation was llurriediy carried on to definitely connect up Avondale's relationship with English nobility. and the matr! monial bubble burst the night betor; high noon of the day following. whci. he was 10 be tied up with the girl. whose heart he had won on accouG, of his alleged high titled rank.
