BODY OF A MAN IN YOUR|
 BASIN CABIN
C O R ON FIR McLANE RE- TU RMS AFTER 4-DAY TRIP; MAN BELIEVED TO BE OSI ROBERTS.
(From Thnrsday's Dailv)

Coroner C. H. McLane returned from Youri Basin late Tuesday night after being gone since Saturday night when he left to investigate the finding of body of a man in a lonely shack in that district. McLane reported that the body found is believed to be Osi Roberts, of Fair Oaks, although there was no means of definitely iden- tifying the remains.
 The body was found in an unoccu- pied shack with the clothing entirely burned from 1t. A rifle was clasped tightly between the knees and bullet hole found above the left eye. The left arm had been broken above the elbow and the supposition is that the man had been thrown from his horse and seeking refuge in the shack, faced starvation and committed sui eide. He had evidently fallen into the fire which accounted for his cloth ing being destroyed The butt of the rife had also been burned.
 A broken rope was found tied to the fence outside and it is believed that the rider. after falling from his horse, managed to reach the cabin and left his horse standing outside. When the shot was fired the horse is believed to have jumped and broken the rope.
 Just how long the body had been in the cabin could not be determined. However, it is believed that it was no less than three weeks and prob ably longer.
 The remnants of S1O bill, small amount of silver and a receipt from the Prescott National Bank signed by Grace Allen and issued to Osi Rob- erts were found in a purse near the body. It was the finding of the re- ceipt which led the authorities to be- lieve that the body was that of Osi Roberts.
 The coroner's jury was out in the snow for two nights which resulted in one of them becoming i'll. He is now suffering from what is believed to be pneumonia.
 Coroner McLane said last night that it was the hardest trip he has un- dertaken since holding office He was away from home during Christmas.

SNCW-CAPPED LAND
 FASCINATES VISITOR
(From Thursdays DailyO

IFrom Thursdays DailyO
 Miss Esther Hopkins, a young lady of Pima county, has had her wish gratifed, that of seeing snow and en- toying a sleigh ride in Prescott, both events being the first she had ever ex- perienced.
 While visiting the city during From tier Days she expressed her intention to return when the country was be- decked with its white glow A friend informing her last Sunday that such an occasion had arrived, she came here on Tuesday afternoon, and re- turned to Casa Grande yesterday, again expressing herself as in love with the country. A pretty incident in connection with the visit of Miss Hopkins is that she wore the furs which her mother had on when she was married in Wisconsin over a quarter of a century ago, when she travelled in a sleigh to a nearby town to have the ceremony performed on December p, 1885. This was the first instance the apparel had been used in over 20 years.

RECRUITING STATION
 OPENED IN PRESCOTT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Corporal John C. Hacker, general
 service infantry, has opened sub
 station at Room l2S, St. Michael ho-
 tel, Prescott. The office will close Saturday, December 30, at } p. m.
 It is the intention of the govern
 mcnt to open auxiliary stations in
 most Of the small towns, especially the county seats, in order that any young man who thinks he can give Uncle Sam year or three years of his time, may do so without going to any expense, whatever. "If I have any applicants here who measure up to the requirements of soldier, will ship them on first train to Phoe- nix, where they will report to Ser geant Joseph Hannah, who will give them meals and lodging until such time as they can be shipped to the proper receiving station," said the corporal. Recruiting has been rath- CT slow in the small towns, presum- ably because the young men do not understand the newly authorized and organized units of the army. There have been added to each regiment two companies-one the supply company, and the other the headquarters com pany. The supply company performs the duties of teamsters, clerks, store keepers, blacksmiths, furriers, horse shoers. They take the duties former ly held by civilians. The salaries arc from S21 to $50, which man can earn on his first enlistment. Another fav- orable point to an enlisted man is that if he desires to leave the ser vice at the end Of ono year it is pos sible to do so, subject to the approv al of his company commander. He will be transferred to the reserve and return to civil life, receiving his tray el, pay and transportation to place of enlistment The inducements were never better than the present for ann bilious young men.

CONSOLIDATED IS MAKING HEAVY
 PRODUCTION
H U MBOLDT PLANT IS SENDING OUT 100000 POUNDS OF COPPER A MONTH AT PRESENT.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

l
 While in the city yesterday from
 Humboldt, c. NJ. Colvocoresses, gen eral manager of the Arizona Consoli- dated, gave publicity 10 the important
 fact that production of copper bullion ] had reached the high water mark oi 2,000,000 pounds per month, and from indications, would be maintained in- definitely, if not increased
 This product comes, mainly from the Blue Bell and DeSoto holdings of the company, including custom sour ces, the Swansea and Little Daisy and other lesser properties. Swansea is now shipping daily l25 tons and the Little Daisy 80 tons. Mir. Colvocor- esses also mentioned the important fact that under consideration is the enlarging of the plant, in view of com ditions at the Blue Bell and DcSoto warranting this action.
 In reviewing mine operations he stated that so far as underground con ditions in the Blue Bell could be as certained by measurements, that prop erty today has far better showing than at this time last year, in orc ton mage available The greatest depth reached is 1000 feet, and sinking has been decided upon.
 Reports in circulation pertaining to strikes made in the DeSoto, were qualified by Mir. Colvocoresscs, who said that body of copper ore 40 feet wide had been opened between the 300 and 4OO-foot levels, 150 feet long On the 7OO-foot level good grade also was determined.
 Both the DeSoto and the Blue Bell when contrasted with development given on other coppers in the State at large, may be classed as in their in fancy, when depth is to be consider ed. And yet they are entering the stage of production which other mines boast of as extraordinary after years Of operating in which great depth has been accomplished. The Humboldt plant is supported today by patronage which ranges to over 600 tons of raw orc daily. It has the mines back of it and the reduction question is in happy cadence For the Blue Bell and the DeSoto to as sumc such a magnificent rating as is accorded each, and for the Humboldt smelter to give its remarkable produc- ton are matters of vital importance to the present and future possibilities of mining in Yavapai.

son there IS nothing in them. It is proposed to make these laws
 heavy enough to stay down and move an election on schedule time from start to finish, without lost ballots scratched ballots, and without con tests and SO constructed as to make | it impossible for anybody to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery
 One of the amendments definitely decided upon is to have clerks of the several counties transmit immediately 10 the State law and reference library a certified copy of the count by pre- cincts. The lawmakers are working on so many changes that the present laws will not be recognized when amended.
 Another bill that is coming up is regarding mining hospital funds One of the bills will seek to require a de- duction for the time the miner serves.
 One of the important things that has already been accomplished in con- ncction with the coming session Of the legislature is that Con P. Cronin has made arrangements to exchange bills with other States converting at the same time. Copies of Arizona's bills will be placed on file in other States. This interchange it is said will be a great help to the lawmakers of Arizona while in session.
 Another bill to be presented is to amend the law to permit the paymen, of actual expenses to jurors living in isolated places. As explained the law now only admits of the payment of the stipulated sum of s day and ten cents a mile travelling, 1t is therefore. impossible for many of those sum moned for jury duty to attend court without financial loss.
