 The deceased until about a year ago made his home at Walnut Grove. and had been a resident of this county for over 45 years, following farming and mining.

STEEL TAPE IS
 DEATH LINK WITH WIRE
(From Sundays daily.)

That high voltage wires were strung within l2 feet of the ground, and that this constituted actionablc careless ness on the part of the Arizona Pow CT Company in causing the death on June 30 last of Fred Lust, is the ale oation of the widow, who yesterday
 lied suit for damages in the sum of S25,OO0.
 How the low hung electric power wire and steel surveyors tape com bined to direct 45,000 volts through the body of Lust, is rccitcd in the complaint. which was filed by Attor- ncyS Helm and Borden Lust, it is set forth, was legally upon certain ground six miles south of Jerome, and was acting as chairman on a survey gang. The power wires from the plant to the Copper Chief mine cross ed the land that was being surveyed. The tract proved hilly, and in ascend ing d slight rise with his chain, Lust IS said to have come close to the highly charged wire.
 He drew the tape taut, bringing it in contact with the power wire, with the rcsul; he was instantly killed.
 Daisy Lust, the widow, alleges that Lust left no assets. She is a resident of Santa Monica, Cal.

The attitude of a meeting of tay- payers Thursday night left the prob lem of procuring suitable improve mcnt of the streets quite up in the air. According to City Clerk Whis- man, 1t Is not known yet just what will be done about the matter
 It appears that the city authorities forcsaw no opposition to their plan to utilize city machinery, teams and men to macadamizc the streets, and that they hoped to get the work start cd with big rock-crushing job, with out much delay.

grade was cut into It is probably due to this fact that from prospecting given at other places that the deal was closed without any further cere- mony
 Mir. Shockley also wired to Prescott that large operations are now to be- gin in an energetic manner and on a practical basis of mining. A large hoist, air compressor and other me chanical facilities are to be installed at once, and the intention is to sink to great depth.
 The Homestead was given its name for the reason that the log cabin oc- cupied by its pioneer owner was built at spot on the main claim where the rich strike was made, and within a few feet only from the front door at vertical depth of less than 70 feet.
 Thus after half a century again does this historically known mine come into its own in making good. In the late eos 1t occasioncd excitement for its rich free milling ores on the sur face, and when the sulphide zone was struck it suspended, never to resume until the present operators took charge.
