DEATH CLAIMS
 MARSHALL FARNUM
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Marshall Farnum, scion of cclc- brated family and himself, by way of being a notable parsonage in the nov ing picture world. passed away at a local sanitarium Sunday. Five months of game struggling against the fatal disease came to an end. when he brcathcd his last in a wiStful laugh over witticism, addressed to his physician.
 His older brothers, William and Dustin Farnum, like himself, great figures in the mimic world, were here, but his wcll-lovcd wife could not be summoned from the East in time to be present at his passing.
 Mir and Mrs. William Farnum left Sunday afternoon for Los Angeles, to make arrangements for the crcma- ton. Dustin Farnum left with the body yesterday afternoon.
 It was Marshall Farnum's wish that his body be crematcd and the ashes buried in Buckport, Maine, where he and his brothers went to school many years ago. In accord ancc with this wish. the ashes will be placed III the family vault at Buck port.
 Marshall Farnum was g years of age. and until the malady had pro grcsscd so far, fair picture of TO- bust, outdoors man. His life, like that of his two brothers, had been an active one. Indeed, it was because he was so hard-working that he fell i'll. His last few days in the New York studio of a great moving pie turc concern were spent in fcveriSh work, getting big photoplay staged. l Farnum was directing the piece, and l worked so constantly, that his health ! broke down.

NEVADA PEOPLE ORGANIZE NEW
 COMPANY
ARIADA THE NAME GIVEN FOR THE NEW MINING MOV M E. N T IN THE DATE CREEK RANGE; NO STOCK TO BE SOLD.

Thomas Sills, mining man of Pr ochc, Nevada, who arrived Sunday and was joined here on Monday by
 E. T. Shook, of Date creek. stated yesterday that he had practically closed deal for an interest in the holdings of Mir. Shook, and a com pany would be formed at once to be- gin operating on quite large basis.
 Both operators were formerly part ncrs in mining in Esmcralda county, Nevada The name of the new com- rany will be the Ariada, a combina tion derived in letters from the States of Arizona and Nevada. We will conduct our affairs on close basis, they said, in which a syndicate of not over eight will be identified, these being formerly interest cd with us in Nevada and California mines. The first move will be to build d wagon road from the railroad to the camp about l2 miles distant, in the Date Greek range. Sufficient prospecting has been given to war rant this work, and as development goes ahead machinery will be install led. The property carries gold values only, while a parallel vein would in dicatc copper as d possible by-mctal \ mill is ready in Nevada to be in stalled on the Ariada when ore ton mage will justify this action
 Mir. Shook stated that he had been in the above region since last Sep tcmbcr, and concluded to place the before those who were practical miners, and have made sue ccsses in several instances. Both leave today for the new camp.

NATIONAL PARK OF THE GRAND
 CANYON
HAYDEN BILL PROTECTS THOSE WHO HAVE AC- CURED ERTY RIGHTS THERE; SCENIC PORTIONS INCLUDED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - In re- sponse to a general demand that a national parl; be created at the Grand
 Canyon in Arizona, Hon. Carl Hay den has introduced in the house. a carefully prepared bill the enactment of which will accomplish this purpose. The bill provides that certain lands now included within the Grand Can yon national monument shall be set aside and dedicated as a public park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people under the name of the Grand Canyon national park.
 The area of the present monument is l,260 square miles but the pro- posed park will contain only oo6 square miles so that 264 sections of land that are now withdrawn from all forms of entry will be made avail able for grazing and other uses. IL is the intention of the bill that noth- ing but the scenic portions of the Canyon with sufficient areas back from the rim to permit the construc- ton of roads shall be included within the national park. In order to be sure that the boundaries of the pro posed national park will be entirely satisfactory to all concerned Con grcssman Hayden has forwarded maps showing its limits to the Ari- zona State land commission and to the board of supervisors of Coconino county for their approval before the bill is considered by congress.
 Section 2 of the bill provides that the Grand Canyon national park shall be administered by the secretary of the interior in accordance with the national park service act which be- came a law last year. This law au- thorizes grazing permits to be issued but such a comparatively small area of grazing land is included within the park that only a few permits will be necessary.
 The Hayden bill fully protects the interests of those who have hereto fore acquired property rights within the proposed park. Provision IS made for the development of water power under existing laws and the secretary of the interior IS authorized to per init mining whenever consistent with the primary purposes of the park. The United States reclamation service is also granted the right to construct reservoirs whenever necessary.
 It is believed that by the establish mcnt of national park at the Grand Canyon the way will be paved for sc curing appropriations by congress for the construction of roads and trails which will make the canyon much more accessible to visitors Over 100000 tourists visited the Grand Canyon in 1915 but ar even larger number are certain to come each year, particularly if good roads arc constructed so that automobilists can drive along the rim and view the greatest natural wonder in the world.

5 BILL WILL DOUBLE OUR MINE
 OUTPUT
OPENING OF INDIAN RE- SERVES TO PROSPEC- TORS AS PROPOSED IN MEASURE, WOULD ADD TWENTY MILLION ACRES TO MINE LAND.

That the Hayden bill to permit mining on Indian reserves, measure that will add about 20,O00,OO0 acres to the mineral lands of this State, is in fair way to become a law, is the information received yesterday from Representative Hayden by Attorney J. H. Morgan of this city. Interested in the measure, Morgan made inquiry and learned that having passed the house on September 4th, the bill now stands good chance of passing the senate, the opposition of a number of powerful members of that body hay ing been overcome.
 Arizona will profit more than any other State-aS much, practically as all others put togcther-by this bill, according to Morgan. There are now l9,55l ,OO0 acres of unallotted Indian lands on the reservations, and to this land, the bill opens the way for the proSpector and mine marker It ap- plies only to the metal mining rights on such lands, however, so the opera ton of the bill will not release to possible private development, the coal ldHuS DGItNGQ 10 DC an important part of at least one Indian reserva- ton in this State.
 For long time it has been pos sible to graze cattle on forest and Indian reserves by payment of fees. It IS on exactly this principle that the mineral bill will work. Indeed, it was the fee or leasing feature that aroused the opposition of such men as Senators Shafroth of Colorado and Shoot of Utah.
 The prospector, who has located a tract of mineral land, pays to the in terior department for the Indian res crvation fund, 25 cents per acre the first year, 50 cents per acre for the second, third, fourth and fifth years and from that time on, Sl per acre per year. If the mine becomes a pro- ducer, the fee then IS to constitute 5 per cent of the gross output, payable monthly to the Indian bureau.
 Will Double Our Mining.
 The bill, should 1t become a law, will double the mineral possibilities, and in time, the output of this State. This is the statement of Mir. Morgan, who has had the subject under close study for quite a while.

Spencer Sentence Deferred; Case To
 Be Studied Fully

That there may have been some deeper misbehaviour than mere in troducing liquor into the State on the part of L. NJ. Spencer, induced Judge F. O. Smith to defer passing sentence on that individual in Superior court yesterday morning. Spencer is being held pending further investigation. the judge stated, until February 27th, at which time his term will be fixed and announced. Robert McCallum, the youthful partner of Spencer, who pleaded guilty at the same time as the latter, was given the first minimum sentence doled out in some time-tcn days and S25 fine, to be worked out at the rate of S day. The sentence began on February 9th.
 Spencer, it is thought. induced Me Callum to engage in the occupation of liquor dealer.
 Jesse Johnson's sentence was put off until 10 o'clock this morning, as were those of Mike Kutlich and John Vokoya. The last two arc Austrians, unable to speak enough English to get along in court, and sentence was deferred in their case owing to the lack of an interpreter.
 Dodson Case Quashed.
 On motion of the county attorney, the case of bootlegging against O. A. Dodson was dismissed. Judge Parks had attacked the information in a de- murrcr bringing up five points of weakness, the chief one being the lack of definiteness in the charge.
 On the ground that no preliminary hearing had been held, R. E. Morri- son moved the information against John Barcnt be set aside. There was some argument over this, and the dis cussion was continued until this 
 Charles Spaw, indigcnt, also charg- ed with violation of the prohibition was given an attorney, Perry M. Ling, by the court. His time to plead was set for this morn ing.

COURT RECORDS
 JUSTIFY THIS NARRATIVE
(From Tuesdays Daily)

That Prescott newspapcrman al lowed himself to be hoaXed into writ ing the story of the abrupt end of ar Iona Smith and Marc Jacobs, both of Clarkdalc, a week ago Sunday, is the claim of the Jerome News, copy of which was received here yesterday. The story in the News admits that the parties, in company with friends, vcnturcd into the county seat on the day mentioned in the Journal-Miner, but claims that they were all amazed to see by this paper, how closely they came to being married.
 The Journal-Miner did not pro- cccd to print the story without an absolute foundation in facts. In fact, the fact that made the story usablc was the fact that the clerk of the Superior court did issue a marriage license to the couplc-in further fact, he received nice little remembrance from the near and then prospective bridegroom. And while narrating facts it IS also a fact that the parties to whom the license was issued, sum- moned Justice of the Peace Chas. H. McI.an for the express purpose of performing the ceremony, and as last fact one of the ncar-contracting parties backed out and the ceremony was not pcrformcd-all of which oc- cured exactly as related in the Jour story.
