MRS. MARKS IS SUM-
 MOVED BY THE REAPER
(From Wednesdays Dailvl

(From Wednesday DailV-l
 Death ended a long and useful life yesterday, when Mrs. Josephine Marks, aged 70 years, passed away al her home on South Marina street Mrs. Marks was one of the earliest pioneers; she was one of the first white woman to come to Prescott Arriving here about 5 years ago with her husband, Jake Marks, she had lived in Prescott continuously.
 There are no surviving blood rela- tivcs here; Mrs. Tom Bate is an adopted daughter. It is understood however that Mrs Marks leaves cousins in Chicago.
 It was in the time of the Indian raids that she first came to live in Prescott. During the early stages of the territorial government here, she was closely associated with many people and events of importance in the history of this country. Her ar rival by stage coach was marked by one of the last raids by Indians on the Burnt ranch.
 An odd coincidence in connection with the death of Mrs. Marks was pointed out by friend last evening. Morris Abrams of San Francisco, a lifelong friend of the Marks family arrived in Prescott the day of the death of Jake Marks here ten years ago. He arrived yesterday on one of his periodical trips, just in time to learn that Mrs. Marks was dying. She passed away at 3:30 yesterday after noon.
 While no definite arrangements have been made for the funeral, it is understood the burial will take place tomorrow afternoon. Mrs. Marks was born in Michigan, and resided in California after her marriage.

said MT. Manning, that these bri- quets have between 80 to 90 per cent the heating and steaming value of our highest grade bituminous coals. Where the price of coal is high and the difficulties and cost of transporta. ton considerable, as in Alaska, it seems to me, from the results obtain ed, the briquetting of this coal de- serves very careful and favorable con- sideration. In the making of these briquets, the gas has been extracted If this gas could be used at the bri- quet plant, there would still be further economic advantage The report in dicates the possibilities in the devel- opment of the Nenana coal fields through the use of the briquets on the government railway, for the steam boat trade and for power at the mines of Central Alaska.

STRIKE ENDED IN
 AS HOURS; MEN BACK
(From Thursdav's Daify.)

(From Thursdav's DaiN)
 One hundred and fifty men of the Henrietta and Butternut mines, struck left the job, adjusted their differences and returned to work within 48 hours. The compromises through which friendly relations between the miners and the employers were re-establish- ed, occurred yesterday in this city when concessions were made by each side and an agreement reached.
 The men at the Henrietta mine of the Big Ledge Copper Company struck because two Japanese cooks were employed by the company. Those at the Butternut struck for an increase in wages.
 Most of the men, leaving their jobs, came into Prescott. Here, they dis covered how prevalent the Oriental sort of culinary service is and decid- ed they were not any better off in the urban reaches of the city than they were at the mine cook shack They immediately conceded the two Jap cooks when approached on the sub ject. The employers granted the in crease in wages to the Butternut miners, and the whole crew of each mine went back, the last of them leaving yesterday evening.

CLASSIFICATION COUNTY BILL
 IS LEGAL
SO DECLARES ATTORNEY GENERAL JONES IN AN OPINION; JUDGES MUST SUE IF THEY RECEIVE INCREASED PAY.
(From Wednesdays Daily0

kFIOm " cQHCSQdJ Dehy-J
 The county classification bill passed by the last legislature is constitution al, according to formal opinion sent the various county attorneys by At torney-General Wiley F. Jones, as follows:
 The matter of substitute bill No. v, fixing the salaries of State officers and classifying the counties Of the State and also fixing the salaries of county officers, will call for your ad- vice to the board of supervisors at their regular meeting on Monday next. This bill forms a complete chapter and repeals chapter II, title l3 revised statutes of Arizona, 1915, civil code. It also carries an emerg- ency clause, that it shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval by the gov ernor"
 "Thc intent and desire of the legis- lature was that the act should take immediate effect as expressed in the em%gency clause. It has been the policy of this department at all times heretofore to recognize all laws as constitutional, and that policy will be pursued by this department in the matter of said substitute senate bill No. v.
 "The Supreme court, having very properly decided that the classihca- ton act, passed in 1912, and incorpo- rated in chapter II, title Is, as above mentioned, was unconstitutional, it became the duty of the legislature to pass a new classification act as speed lily as possible, and after due consid- eration of legal points involved, therefore suggest that you advise the board of supervisors on Monday next, to observe the provisions of said sub stitute senate bill No v, including its emergency clause.
 '1 think it is the official duty of this department and the county attorneys to uphold the law as passed by the legislature and approved by the gov ernor, and would so advise in the matter of said bill No. v.
 Said bill No. v was approved the night of March IA, and under the emergency clause became effective March Is. For the first half of the present month, up to the 18th instant, l can only suggest that you follow the law of 1901, with amendments thereto, particularly those of 1907 and 1909 and as modified by the provisions of the State constitution"
 State Auditor Jesse L. Boyce has declared he will not honor the claims of the judges of the Superior courts, on the ground that the constitution provides that no officer paid by the State shall have his salary raised while in office. Part of the salary drawn by the Superior judges is. paid by the State. It is probable that he will force one of the judges to sue him, and carry the matter to the Su- preme court to test its constitution ality. He is taking this action to protect his bondsmen.

the attention of the mining world. The Guggenheirns are systematically developing some valuable property, and where the Gusgenheims are there IS ore
 Among the many advantages which arc possessed by the district is the fact that a branch of the Southern Pacific railroad runs right into the heart of it. This means much to any camp as those who are familiar with mining conditions are well aware. The topography of the country raises no obstacle to the prompt dispatch of ore to the railroad, and there arc no hindrances to the most economical hauling of all mining operations in consequence.
 Differing somewhat in character from the mines just referred to, but of immense importance to the county of Pima, and particularly to the Twin Buttes mining district, is the success full development Of the Magnate Copper Company's property four miles from the town of Twin Buttes. This property is under the direct su- pervision of Mir. Walter Harvey Weed one of the most eminent geologists of the day. Under his instructions Mir. Herbert Shotwell, the engineer in charge, is carrying on the work with results that can only be regard cd as highly fattering.
 The Magnate Copper Company's holdings are very extensive, com prising over 800 acres of mineralized territory. A large portion of this ground has, to quote Mr. Weed, "the distinguishing characteristics of a disseminated copper deposit, a so- called porphyry copper. I cannot es- innate the copper content or thick ness of the deposit, these factors be- ing only determinable by drilling, or underground exploration, but the evi- dence disclosed by the shafts on the property shows that deposit of this character exists"
 The Magnate Copper Company has purchased churn drills for the work of exploration, as suggested by NIT. Weed, and the same will be conduct ed energetically from now on.
 The success of this undertaking so close to Twin Buttes, where the other mining operations previously describ- ed arc meeting with such favorable results, must go long way towards establishing the camp on firm basis.
 The Magnate Copper Company's stock, open to trading on the New York Curb shortly, is bound to draw 10 it all those investors who have been eagerly looking for the arrival of a new porphyry on the scene. The old ones have now reached point where the fluctuations arc so gradual that there is little chance for the big kill ings that were the good fortune of those who bought Inspiration, Miami and Utah Copper in their early stages.
 With the New Cornclia almost at the point of production, and Magnate rapidly showing its real merit, there is every reason to regard 1917 as a banner year for Pima county, and Twin Buttes as camp with wonder full possibilities.

WORLDS SERIES.
All Reserved Seats For First Game
 Are Distributed Today.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Most of the IT, 900 reserved seats for the Worlds se- ries game at White Sox park were dis tributed today A record of each ticket sold has been kept, and with this the club officials hope to stamp out ticket scalping.
 Scalpers who up to today have been advertising that they would have plenty of tickets, appeared to have lost some of their confidence, and re- fused to guarantee tickets for any of the games here.
 That detectives have been investi- gating applicants for tickets became known today when it was announced that 159 persos who had been notified to call for their tickets, would find that their reservations had been can- celled and that it would be impossible for them to see the game in a re- served seat.
 The White Sox, after day of idle ness yesterday on account of rain, are booked for two days of stiff practice.

Bowling in championship form, the New Britain team of the Inter-City league, get back at their Bristol rivals last evening at the Aetna alleys, win ming three straight games. The To- calls put up superb exhibition of pin toppling. In each of the three games grand totals of over 500 were the results of the home boys, efforts. A. Anderson set the pace for his mates, and finished the leader of the night with 321 for the match. Hines was next in order with 316, followed by Foote and Brennecke in order named. Eddie Anderson was the only local bowler who failed to reach the three century mark. Hines, 119, se- cured in opening game, was the high single total of the evening. For Bris- tol O'Bnen and Thompson excelled.
 match game in which plenty of interest was evinced, was rolled be- tween the Casino Specials of Hart ford and the Aetna Alley Specials of this city, and resulted in victory for the visiting quintet. The visitors romped away with the first game, but the locals eveneo up the score in the second game. Windish sent the hopes of the New Britain rooters skyward when he finished the third game with a score of 1855. Lofgren also turned in a fine score. but Thompson and Kahms fell slightly behind. Maloney and Lathrop put the skids under the locals when they hit the wood for scores of 124 and 116 respectively and with them went the game. The total scores for the games gave the Hartford boys a four-pin margin. The scores:

BUILT A TEMPLE.
Buddhism Installed in Peru by Priest
 of Sect of Sodo.


 of Sect of Sodo.
 Tokio. Oct. 4.-Rev. Taian Uyeno, of the Buddhist sect of Sodo, has re- turned to Japan from Peru after building in that country the first Jap anese temple in South America.
 The priest went to Peru in 1903 with 1000 Japanese emigrants with instructions to propagate Buddhism. After great hardships, working first as a laborer and then as a maker of confectionery, Uyeno slowly amassed enough money to construct a temple which he called "Jionji' or Great Mercy" Later he founded a primary school for the education of the chil- dren of the emigrants.
 The priest says that when he was building the temple he was persecut- ed by Peruvians, and that attempts were made to burn both temple and school. The relations between the Japanese emigrants and the native people have, however, now become peaceful and friendly.

 Opening Clash on Saturday.

West Point, N. Y., Oct. 4.-There was plenty of football at West Point yesterday. Aside from the big mid week drill of the varsity and scrub in their preparation for the opening game with Carnegie Tech on Satur- day, the Army's Cullum hall squad took on two visiting elevens for regu- lar games. The eleven is made up of new cadets and others of the bat talion who have not yet shown enough proficiency to entitle them to enter into the big squad. The Army's "cubs'' won both games, defeating Yonkers High school in the first game, 6 to 0, and Erasmus Hall High school, of Brooklyn, in the other, to 0.
 The varsity mauled the scrub for an hours session. Oliphant, McQuar- rie, the Montana star, and Vande- graf starred in the scrimmage work, which netted the big team three touchdowns.
 The grandstands are in position, and the cadets are aall ready for the "blowoff" with the Carnegie Tech team, which is coming here for the first time on Saturday.

Germans to Continue to Make Bombs

 Amsterdam, Oct. 4.-Fears that Germany might possibly be unable to continue fighting owing to the lack of raw materials have been answered by Major Gen. Schuech, the new min- ister of munitions, who, according to a despatch from Berlin says:
 Regarding the supply of raw ma terials, particularly those required for the manufacture of guns and mun1- tions we are not dependent solely on the stock in hand, which, more over, would be insufficient We have to produce them and this production is proceeding satisfactorily"
 Gen. Schueck admitted that pro- duction was interrupted temporarily last year because of transport diff culties. Although these seem to have been overcome the minister of muni- tions expects probable recurrence the coming winter.

Albright Eleven is Buried Beneath Overwhelming Defeat, Score 73 to 10-Winners Show Fine Form.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 1.-The bright college yesterday afternoon on Franklin field in their opening con- test of the season by a score of 73 to 10. The Red and Blue displayed .a formidable attack and a stone wall defence which was surprising, as only five regulars were in the initial lineup which started the battle against Coach Kelshner's squad, and the eleven had worked together only four days under the personal direction of Head Coach Bob" Folwen. The boys from Mayerstown were no match for the Penn team. Penn blocked kicks, recovered fumbles, intercepted for ward passes and did almost everything to discourage the visitors attempting to thwart their efforts. The game was good practice contest for the first string men as well as the sub stitutes in preparation for the sec ond battle of the season with Georgia Tech this Saturady at Atlantic, Ga
 Only when a flock of substitutes were sent into the game by Coach Folwell did Albright show any sem blance of real football tactics. AL bright's men were game throughout and they fought hard, although hope lessly outclassed. It was in the sec- ond and fourth periods that Albright took advantage of the misplays by the flock of Penn's second string men and scored ten points.

Medical Authorities Prohibit Davies From Playing on Account of Eyes.
 Ithaca, Oct. 4.-Cornell suffered the first football loss of the year when it was announced by the university medical authorities that Davies one of the most promising candidates out for a backfield job, would not be al- lowed to continue his university or gridiron activities for the rest of this term on account of his physical con- dition.
 Davies is 8 powerful player, fast and aggressive, and the coaches were counting on his ground-gaining abil- ity. His eyes gave way last spring and he was forced to leave college, but returned this year, expecting to be able to study as usual. A medi- cal examination proved otherwise, however, and after weeks work with the Cornell eleven he has been forced to leave college again.
