LARGE MOVEMENT IS LAUNCHED
 IN MINING
HIGH PRICED LEAD AND ZINC REVIVES OLD FIRST HOME; OPERA TORS TAKE CHARGE.
(From Saturdays Daily)

 Announcement was made yesterday of the closing of one of the most im- portant mining deals to take place in this country in recent years, in which the old and well known First Home group, of Upper Big Bug district, passed out of the hands of Ed. Block and IS to be placed in a state of large operation at once by new operators. At the head of the new syndicate will be w. H. Worthington, a practi- cal mining man recently of Mexico, and with whom will be associated William Paar of this city, and Los Angeles brewery interests, all under q close association arrangement and with no stocking of shares.
 The first move toward operating begins today when a carload of sup plies leaves for the camp near Poland, with an initial mine force of ten men, to be increased as rapidly as under ground conditions will permit. Ex- tensive exploration to depth has been decided upon by Mir. Warrington, who had previously familiarized him self with the old workings, and with which he expressed himself yesterday as satisfied.
 The property is fully equipped with hoist, 50-horse power engine, O. horse power boiler office, bunk and boarding house, and other accommo- dationS. One of the desirable assets of the First Home is its means of communication to the railroad with spur from the mine to Blocks sta- ton, 1000 feet distant.
 Coincident with tine closing of the mine deal. an option to purchase the Oriental mill, which combines the Fl Passe method of reduction, also was concluded with the owners thereof, and which will be taken over immedi- ately and placed in frst-class condi- tion for treating the product Both deals are reported to be for a large sum, the amount being withheld.
 The First Home resuming is due to the situation that has arisen recently, in metal markets. Its ores arc high grade in zinc and lead, while the bi- product carries good values in gold and silver. Several hundred tons had been shipped in early-day operations, when the principal metals had .; low market price. Lead and zinc quota t1onS recently proved attractive for tic property to be revived, and with ore content exposed in all workings being heavy in tonnage, this move ncnt naturolly crysializcs into opera lions being warranted on the plan out lined.
 The main shaft of the First Home had reached a depth of 300 feet, and over 1000 feet of work has been done on the group. Sinking from the 30O- loot level to the 400 will be the first move of the new operators. The deal $ occasiouing favorable comment lmong mining men conversant with he property.

DUFF CASE ONCE MORE GIVEN
 ID JURY
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

For the second time within a weel,
 the case of Larry Duff, charged with
 violating the State prohibition amend
 ment, was given to jury in the Su-
 perior court late yesterday afternoon.
 At l0:30 o'clock last night the jury,
 as in the first trial, was unable to
 reach a verdict and was locked up for
 the night.
 The prosecutions witnesses were
 given a setback yesterday morning when Charles ]. Cooper, Thiel detec- tive, testified that on May 23rd two citizens of Prescott had been in the place where Duff is employed and that both were under the influence of liquor at the time. On the previous day Cooper's partner, R. H. Bryant. had testified that the two men had been in the place on April 23rd. The difference of one month in the testi- mony of the detectives was not ac- counted for
 In his final plea to the jury, Attor ney Morrison denounced the detect ives as hired witnesses" He de- clared that they were sent out to make good in order that the Thiel agency would not lose the business of Yavapai county. He said that they started in trying to get evidence without having taken any oath when employed by the county. Their testi mony, he argued, could not be com pared or classed with the testimony given by a county official, as they had no interest in the welfare of the peo- pie and were mere hirelings. He pointed out that the prosecution had introduced no witnesses, outside of other hired spotters, to corroboratc the testimony of the detectives, and that no disinterested persons had been called by the State.
 During the trial, he said, a bottle which Bryant alleged had been filled with ginger-ale and served him by Duff, had been introduced as evi- dence. The contents of the bottle when analysed by Prof. P. ]. Car lisle, were alleged to contain large | of alcohol, but, said Nor rison, there had been no evidence in troduced which showed that the bot tie of liquid presented indirectly to Carlisle by Bryant had contained any although Bryant had tes- tifed that he had poured ginger-alc and what was in the ginger-ale" into it. In the bottle presented to Prof. Carlisle the latter had not reported finding any ginger-ale, argued the at torney, and he declared the bottle was absolutely worthless as evidence.

RAISING CASH FOR
 HOUSE OF HEALING
(From Thursdays Daily.)

For nearly three years the Arizona Deaconess' hospital with accommoda- tons for some 20 patients, has been open to the public in the capital city.
 The success of the institution has embarrassed the management. The number applying for admission far exceeds the capacity of the plant.
 Upon the board of trustees the leading business men of the city arc represented. The property is held in trust for the care Of sick; receipts arc used exclusively for the maintenance and extension of the work
 It is strictly a non-proht invest ment along pecuniary lines.
 The articles of incorporation affirm relief shall be given to all persons ir- respective of sex, color, religious be- lief or pecuniary circumstances.
 It is the only philanthropic effort in Arizona which represents the con- certed action of the Protestant churches.
 Maricopa county, more than any other section of the State is heavily burdened with the indigent sick.
 As the proposed new building will have apartments and equipment sec ond to none of its kind in the South west the whole State will be bene- fitted, first by supplying a long felt need in supplying for those willing to pay for the best they can secure: sec ondly by providing assistance to those who are unable to pay the price.
 The geographic location, the eli matic conditions, the local population, and the heavy influx of Winter tour ists insure the upkeep of the new house of healing.
 Bishop A. w. Leonard, of the Meth odist Episcopal church, under whose auspices the nurse deaconesses serve in the hospital, highly comments the proposed improvements in the follow ing words:
 There is no work in which the church may more ittingly engage

CAUSED BY thin BLOOD

Many people think they have kidney
trouble because they have backache but
more backache is caused by overstrained
and undernourished muscles than by
anything else. In such cases the blood
needs building up.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up the
blood. When rheumatism is associated
with thin blood the rheumatism cannot
be cured to stay cured until the blood is
built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood and sufferers from backache would
do well to try this treatment before giving
way to worry over fancied organic dis
ease. Rest and the tonic treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills will correct most
forms of backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or dance
too much and sleep too little, better habits
and q course of treatment with DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills are all that is needed
to drive away the pains and aches that
are warnings of coming breakdown.
Two books, Building Up the Blood''
and "Nervous Disorders" will be sent
free, if you are interested, by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
n. Y. You can get DR.. Williams Pink
Pills at the nearest drug store or by mail,
postpaid, on receipt Of price, 80 cents per
boz: Elk boxes. $3.50.
