THE COURT HOUSE
 PUZZLE IS UNSOLVED
(From Fridays Daily.)

Big clouds of gloom permeated the atmosphere of the supervisors office yesterday when a meeting was held to discuss the various bids opened We'd nesday for the construction of the proposed new Yavapai county court house. At the conclusion of the meet ing the board was no nearer to solv- ing the puzzle of the construction and furnishing of a court house with $25O,- coo than it was months ago.
 The difference in the bids and the figures that were expected to besub- mitted IS an obstacle that appears hard to overcome. Changes in the specifications will be made and more figures submitted by contractors. in the hope that the cost may be brought within a reasonable figure.
 It is said that the bids submitted Wednesday were in many cases high CT than contractors had originally promised the material and work would cost. The supervisors say that it is out Of the question to expen1 S300,000 for the construction and equipment of the building, and, un- less some plan is hit upon at the meeting Saturday or Monday to re- duce the bids. county offices may cor tinue to be scattered over the city.

 Careful and considerate m all dcal- ings. his business life in this city since 1875. has been as clear as q crystal i1 his generous deeds. his genial nature. and his sincere honesty in all dealings and with everyone alike. Pioneers like Adams are hard for this community and State to lose. He was useful citizen, a sturdy friend, and a> firm builder.
 Mir. Adams arrived in Prescott or August II, 1875. coming over tho Santa Fc trail on horseback with a party of which the late Judge II. T. Andrews. P. \. Williams and F.. P. Clark were members. The pcrilous journey was made through hostile country where the Navajo and Apa- che reigned supreme, but fate was kind, and they were unmolcsted. Two years later the deceased and Mir Clarl, established the lumber firm Of Clark & Adams. which still endures in this city. He was born at Cedar Falls. Iowa, in lS4S, and was in his 67tn year. Surviving are his widow. his daughters. Mrs. George Colton, of Fl Tovar; Miss Alice D. Adams. oi this city. and son. Henry F. Adams, of Canada.

HAYDEN SAMPLER
 IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Many mine owners of this fell, who had been making shipments to Hayden smelters, were surprised to learn that the sampling mill of the big works. had been destroyed by fire Monday night, and it was report cd that future consignments had been ordered cancelled.
 This gloomy situation, however. was cleared up yesterday, when Gen eral Manager Drake of the S F. P. & P. railway was advised that only a temporary delay would follow in hay ing samples tested. and 1t was expect cd that inside of a week custom ship ments would again be received. The Hayden market is the only one in Arizona open to producers. Those shippers who have received returns in ;he past few weeks are elatcd over being able to patronize this market, and speak in commendable terms of the fair treatment extended them and their interests.

And flowers to wither at the north
 winds breath,
 And stars to set-but all.
 Thou hast all seasons for thine
 own, oh Death"
 The death of our friend and brother lawyer whose memory we commem- crate today drives home to each oi us the lesson and the truth Of tnesc lines. In the golden harvest season of his years: ripe with g years of practice and experience; the hot blood of youth tempered by the wisdom and judgment of middle life. our friend, Reese M. Ling was claimed by the grim hand of the Eternal Reaper.
 Nothing that we may say here will be of avail to him who has gone on the last long journey. But it is a consolation to us. his friends. and we owe it to those who will take our places to thus record our expressions of regret. and our high regard for the departed
 I shall always remember Reese M. Ling as frank. outspokon gentle man. absolutely fearless. honest and steadfast as a rock in his convictions. \ true and staunch friend: he was an adversary keen and quick, with whom 1t was always pleasure to cross swords. Faults he may have had and who has not? But they fall in significant when compared 10 ais vir- tues and his abilities.
 There is an old saying which has come down to us from the Romans "Ad Astra per Aspera." To the stars through thorns-which to a certain extent typifes the lie of our friend of yesterday. Reese Ling was not the child for Fortune: he had to work and fight for, everything he acquired: for his education; his law practice; and the various offices which he filled with such great distinction. An un- timely death has prevented him from enjoying the full reward of his labors here on earth, and the complete at tainment of his ambition. Yet, we may confidently hope, and such is our prayer that the Supreme Power which denied him the fulillment of his dreams here will find ham a place among the stars in the Great Beyond

Arrivals yesterday from the Scna- tor field reported considerable inter est being manifested by mining men over the movement initiated to re- sume work on the holdings Of the Aztec Mines Co.,. proposition which has every indication from the show ing made in recent years. of proving a very attractive gold property.
 Under the personal direction oi General Manager l.. II. Beyerle. de velopmcnt is again under way. in q system of contracting to drive a cross-cut from the 700-foot long tun- mel from which it is practically as sured that results will be satisfactory in tapping known ore bodies at a vertical depth of fully 300 feet from the ou;croppings.
 The movement to again get the Aztec n action. and on practical lines of operating. in closing mp plans for mulatei a few years ago, it Is conf de1tly expected will result in opening up another attractive property for that desirably rated belt. The fact of the Aztec being so closely allied with the Senator and the Cash. lying as an extension of both above proper ties on the south. is an inducemcnt for beginning large work.
 The Aztec under conditions now outlined for its future handling. is re garded as one of the most important movements in mining to affect the big belt. in which it forms key to the mineral situation in that field.

 From measurements taken in ore bodies exposed. it is computed thal fully 300OO tons of a milling grade O. ore are ready for breaking. In addi- ton 10 this excellent showing, he also stated, there is now but little question that the Congress and the Wakota carry the same mineral characteristics and this determination has been con clusively established by both products being analysed from depths at the same points.
 The Wakota was for many years known as the Coronado. and is situ- ated in Martinez gulch, to the north cast of the main workings of the Con grcss and less than two miles distant The Congress vein has a strike from the north to the southwest, and this geological construction also prevails on the Wakota. By means Of a long tunnel the Wakota is solving very important mineral problem for that belt. The property was revived a few months ago, and new exploration has resulted in opening up an attractive gold proposition

Sang stcr, secretary and auditor oi the commission, testified that in his in ves,ieation Of the company's system ne had found that the average per cent of profit throughout the various plants in the State was 456 on total investments.

to the common sense word of caution
that mother or father speaks.
It is the time when the bright
