KNIFES AUTOS
 TIRES FOR REVENGE

JEROME. May 26.-Firmin Delga- do was fined S30 in Judge Denison's court yesterday on a charge of mali cious mischief after he had pleaded guilty to kniting the tires on an auto owned by Emilio Embrino.
 According to the story current about town, Delgado lost control oi car on the Clarkdale road and went in the ditch. He thought that the lights from Embrino's machine had blinded him and looked for revenge.
 Finding Embrino's car at the rent stand in Jerome. he proceeded to 'un- ballast" the fires. Ike Niheil. how ever. had been left in charge of the car and when damage was Gone, ne proceeded to arrest Delgado's actions. This resulted in several minor in jurics for both.
 Only the charge of ripping the tires was brought out in court and Delgado agreed to Judge Denison's proposal that he settle for the damage done.

GIGANTIC MINING MOVEMENT HAS
 MATER|AL|ZEO
DRIVING OF THE 15,000- FOOT CROSSCUT TUNNEL IN THE BRADSHAWS IS UNDER HEADWAY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

The greatest of all mvements ever launched in Arizona, is now under way in the Bradshaw mountains. IL is known as the deep level tunnel.
 The magnitude of this undertaking can be appreciated when it is stated that this exploration will have a length of over 15,000 feet, and in its course will penetrate at depths of from 800 to 1000 feet a system O: Assures which lie in its course from east to west, embracing the Lincoln. Nelson, Fairview, War Eagle, Gladi- ator, Crown King, Del Pasco, Old Reliable, Wildhower and other mines, all of which have been under develop ment for many years. Practical work is in full swing on this huge under taking, the entering point in the mountain being less than one mile from Crown King.
 Unexpectedly, according to advicss received yesterday, copper condi ton was struck few days ago, near the mouth of the tunnel, of high grade ore. but of what extent is not known. The belt to be explored is distinctively gold, and the blind" copper coming in has occasioned sur prise. It is theory that the Pelican claim of the Blue Bird group, one mile to the north, is being encounter ed, and also of the DeSoto, both these properties being copper.
 Behind this movement is the Brad shaw Development Co., which is to be incorporated immediately. Chica- go capitalists became interested. after their engineer reported favorably on the project few months ago.
 Bradshaw mines are assuming an excellent rating with more properties operating today than ever before, and four mills are running day and night with two more to be installed this Summer

MINERS FROM CAMP YES TERDAY STATED HIGH GRADE ORE CONTINUES TO BOTTOM OF SHAFT.
(From Sundays Daily.l

Three miners who arrived Fri day afternoon from the Loma Prieta camp in Copper Basin stated that shaft sinking up to noon had reached a depth of l25 feet, and with condi- tions decidedly favorable in proven ore bodies. For the last 5 feet in sinking, or from the point where the high grade chalco-pyrite was exposed in the original strike there has not been the least indication of break in the ore condition and from a mineral ogical standpoint the property is now making its best showing. with strong probability that with increased depth the sulphide zone will be deter mined.
 Sinking is to go ahead to the 200 foot level, and drifting will be begun also in a short time The camp is visited daily by many from Prescott and mines adjacent, and confidence prevails among those who inspect underground workings as well as the ore output, that there is every possi- bility of the property maintaining its present excellent rating.

Charles Grimes is dead" vas tho report on the street Tuesday after noon that gave shock to the people of Kingman.
 Mir. Grimes went to his room in tho Brunswick hotel some time Monday afternoon and was not again seen, the hotel attendants being of the impres- sion that ne had gone out of town Drs. F. s. Miller and Charles Granger wanted to see him and went to his room. where they found him lying or the bed dead. He had apparently passed away fully 2+ hours before the discovery of his body. Death was duo to heart failure.
 Charles Grimes was born in Balti more and came West when a young man, settling in California.

PIONEER RANCH HAD
 EVENTFUL HISTORY
(From Sundays Dailyl

In affixing his signature yesterday to a deed for his cattle holdings and land interests covering what has been familiarly known for nearly half a century as the Cienega Rancho, Judge Geo. w. Hance was visibly affected in parting with the property which he had owned since November of 1870.
 "I'll take this pen home to Camp Verde, and it will go into a collec- ton of other relics to symbolize early-day doings in this section, and to recall many situations that will chill the warmest heart as ' say fare well to the old homestead" he in formed friends who were present at this transaction.
 Judge Hance has made a clean sweep of his holdings at that point, selling to his son, Harvey Hance and J. H. Maders, who leave today to take possession. Recalling the long ago, the seller said: q located the Cicn- ega, which is on the old main road to Camp Verde, 46 years ago, and imme- diately started to build home. J. H. Miles, of Prescott, now deceased, had the contract, and his assistant was J. w. Sullivan, who survives, is a resi- dent of this county, and has fared well in this worlds financial realm since receiving his first start from that work. The perils of open work in that Indian country made construc- ton slow. and how these contractors ever escaped the cunning Indian, seems an act of Providence. Thc Cienega stands alone of all other properties situated to the east of Prescott, and as country homestead leads all others having government title, a patent thereto having been ;s- sued shortly after l located thereon. The place was a rendezvous for tray- elers and in early days filled what they call, "a long felt want" in safely caring for the many going and coming to Camp Verde. The Apache loiter- cd in the country. and peop!e usually travelled in numbers instead of as alone as at present. That region was notbed of the rei man, and when contrasted with the security of the present age, my parting with the property reveals what time has wrought as it is moving away so many of the old Hassayampa land marks. Is there another owner of a piece of property in Yavapai who can look backward and claim title to his holdings for as long as l held the Cicnega. on which l have paid taxes that runs into tine thousands? Like other old-timers I am giving way to the younger men who arc coming up. and in turning my back on the old Ciencga, trust that the new owners will reap any benefits that were too slow in materializing after 46 years of continuous occupancy by the orig inal locator"

TUNGSTEN AUTHORITY
 PLEASED WITH TIPTOP
(From Sundays DaiIy)

Jack Broadcd. regarded as an au- thority oil tungsten, was an arrival yesterday from the Canyon section of Tiptop district. He is optimistic over the future demonstrating a desirable field for big investment and says that although his observations were gen eral. in some instances this mineral abounds to such an extent as to be regarded as out of reason. when con trasted with other Western localities which claim monopoly on this char acter of mineral rating. The Tiptop country, in his opinion. is just enter ing into prominence, and with ex- ploration planned by several large operators, carried out. production win be so heavy as to give it lead over any other section of the West.

OVER THE DIVIDE
 GOES POPULAR PIONEER
(From Saturdays DaiiyJ


 After an illness of less than two weeks, the summons came yesterday to Judge Norman L. Griffin, at tho Pioneers Home in this city, from al affliction of the brain. He was sud denly stricken i'll while conversine with friends on the plaza, and immedi i ately thereafter lapsed into an uncon scious state, from which he never ral lied until the day before death came
 The passing of this pioneer Ari zonan. takes away the oldest resident of Prescott and one also of the best known and most beloved of men. He arrived in this section from Tucson on June /. 1865, or nearly six months before tfe gubernatorial party reach ed the boundary line of Arizona, to officially proclaim the founding of the new territory on December g. 1865 at Navajo Springs. Of a party of cignt who made the perilous trip from the south to the north. he is the last 10 be summoned. His early-day life n this section was upright in all deal ings and his citizenship was exem plary.
 Characteristic Of the early-day resi- dent, Judge Griffin was kind. gener- ous and genial. He extended help to the struggling. and his old cabin on Lynx creek was always open with q kind greeting and warm welcome tc any. He followed mining, and pros percd thereirom in later years. One conspicuous trait of his long ';fe was his fidelity to the cause of Masonry, with which order he had affiliated for over 5S years He became a member oi this organization at PloveT. Wis. :n 1858, and two years later was of a party who sought adventure in the Southwest. arriving in 1860 at Tucson. The morale of the organization re- maincd intact until after their arrival in this section. all settling on Lynx creek and at Rich Hill.
 Judge Griffin was born in the State of New York on October :. 1855, reaching the ripe age of S3 years. He had been a member of Aztlan Lodge of Masons of this city since its ere ation over 5l year ago. clinging faith fully and zealously to its faith from beginning to end. He is survived by only one near relative, a brother, re- siding at Benton Harbor. Mich. who also mas reached an advanced age and will not be able to come to Prescott 10 attend the funeral.

MINING PEOPLE WELCOME THE
 NEW ROAD
REOPENING OF BLACK CANYON ROUTE IS AT TENDED WITH AN IN CREASE OF BUSINESS.
(From Saturdays Daily)

w. Jeff Martin, mining and mer' chandising in the Black Canyon coun- try, stated yesterday that appreciable results already are in evidence from the work going on to reopen the old stage road and give different indus tries an outlet to Prescott and inter vening points. He said:
 "In the first place a dozen tung- sten-silver camps in Tiptop district will be again connected up with the old highway, and Turkey station on the Bradshaw railroad will afford an economical shipping point in and out. In the immediate vicinity of Canyon, two large tungsten strikes have taken place, and shipping out via Phoenix has started from both, that route be- ing selected for the reason that no other outlet is available and none will be until the new road is opened up. The Kay Copper Company is about ready to resume, and this big move ment can be accredited directly to reopening the old roadway. s. J. Tribolet, of Phoenix, the principal shareholder, informed me short time ago that the affairs of his com pany were now finally adjusted to- ward going ahead, and for no other reason than that the haul in and out of the camp would be less than 20 miles, as against GO via Phoenix. The Kay will make Turkey its shipping point. Dave Eagan and associates. who are developing their tungsten mines, three and one-half miles west of Canyon, shipped recently v;a Phoe- nix quite tonnage, but they propose now to go to market via Turkey, also making their principal purchasing point hereafter, north, instead of in the south. There are more prospect ors in the Black Canyon country to- day than during the silver boom of over a third of century ago, and ev- cry camp has been outitted at Phoe- nix. when Prescott should have re- ceived this business. Many engineers are securing the country, and invari- ably they enter the field from Phoe' nix. but Prescott should be the logi- cal point In a nutshell, this situa- ton has confronted every resident of the country to reach Prescott. tho county seat, 45 miles distant from Canyon. a trip of over 2l0 miles has been necessary. the only route open being via Phoenix.
 "The new road grade will be on an S per cent basis. and excellent head way is being made in construction. Scores of people who have material interests in that country are very much pleased that they arc to be ac- corded the recognition due them as taxpayers and that the county Is to be afforded an opportunity to advance instead of remaining at standstill. The few thousand dollars oi a dis bursement by Yavapai will be return ed in general business four-fold inside Of a year after the Black Canyon roadway is opened up again. Already ii is proving popular and many fav orable comments arc heard since work has started in earnest"
