ALLEN HILL DIES WHILE ENR0UTE
 ID PHOENIX
POPULAR PRESCOTT AT TORNEY PASSES AWAY ON SANTA FEE TRAIN i; DEATH OCCURRED NEAR IRON SPRINGS.
(From Fridays Daiy.)

Allon Hill, the well-known Pres colt attorney, died quite suddenly at about o'clock yesterday evening on the train upon which he had started for Phoenix with the hopes of bene- fitting his failing health. Ncuritis was the cause of the sudden taking off of this popular business man. The train left this city at about 4:30 in the ai- ternoon and when it had reached Iron Springs, Mr. Hill was seen to grad ually cease breathing. his death hay ing been a most peaceful one.
 In company with his sister, Miss Nolli. Hill and Attorney Robert F.. Morrison, Mir. Hill boarded the train here, and, for lack of Pullman. he managed to make himself comfort able On two seats which had been turned so that they faced each other. It was not known at that time that the patient was in such bad shape. and hc was seemingly bouyant and his usual genial disposition was not in the least disturbed as he faced the inevitable. Of this popularly known resident of many years there is much to be said in his bhfalf, for those near and dear and others to fondly cherish in future years. He had not an enemy. but did have nunberless friends.
 He was an exception to the aver age man. Always kind and obliging, and Pleasantly evading any issue wherein harsh words or the bitter feeling was shown. the deceased for these beautiful virtues had won the esteem and affection fall. He was a student of the law, and for over Y years had been by the side of Attor' ney Robert F.. Morrison, first as a stenogI apher, and in later years prac- ticing his profession. Scores of clients of Mir. Morrison will fondly remember the one who is gone and sadly recall him who was trusted and whose private as well as professional career leaves no mark behind other than that of being faithful and con- scieu,ious from beginning to end.
 Allen Hill arrived in Prescott in | 1899. coming from Illinois, where he was born S6 years ago. He entered the cfiice of Robert F. Morrison who was at that time United State. attorney of Arizona, as clerk. In the succeeding years Mir. Hill never left the familiar scenes, and he continued i faithful to a trust to the end. The fatal ;.ffliction to end his life first appeared over year ago. and when the summons came he passed away quietly and without the slightest sui feriug. The only survivor of the [ family is Miss Molly, the sister, both having been constantly with each other for many years.
 The remains were brought from Skull valley early last night by Lester Ruffncr and after arrangements are made announcement of the funeral day will be printed.

GREEN MONSTER WILL
 DEVELOP BROOKSHIRE

JEROME, Jan. 9.-At meeting of the Green Monster directors, held here this week, it was practically de- cided to start development at the old BrookShire workings. \ definite de- cision will probably be reached at another meeting to be held here two weeks hence.
 When George Brookshire owned part of the present Green Monster estate shaft was sunk about NO feet on a promising showing and splendid indications were opened. That Shaft is now filled with water. A long tunnel was run to cut under the shaft about 250 feet from the bottom, but it was never completed One year ago the Green Monster Company had tracks laid in the tun- nel, and had all plans made to ex- tend it under the shaft, but that plan was dropped for lack of power.
 The tunnel will not only open one of the most promising of the Green Monster showings, but it will provide drainage. This is the principal ad- vantage to be gained by tunneling rather than sinking.
 President Ncill F. Bailey. w. ;. Humbcrt, w. w. Lawhon and Dave Morgan were the directors in at tendance at the meeting.
 Bailey, Humbert and Morgan made an examination of the Green Mon ster while here. They found that the crosscut west from the Dorothy May shaft. on the 500-foot level, was not through the ledge to the footwall. Ii ore is not found on the footwall the shaft will be continued to greater depth.
 In the Gorge tunnel workings a drift has been run 90 feet through altered diorite, well impregnated with chalcopyrite. No average samples have been assayed, but individual samples run all the way from to 10 per cent copper. This showing IS now to be crosscut to determine its width and a winze may be sunk.

CONGRESSMAN DRANE
DISCOVERS POET AND
PLANS TO ENTERTAIN
HIN HERE

Under a Washington date line the
following appeared in last nights
Tampa Times:
Congressman H. J. Drane has a
poetic soul. He admits it. That's his
pet indulgence. Having recently found
some verses that appealed particular
ly to his poetic and patriotic sense, he
turned press agent. AS a result,
George Morrow Mayo, formerly of
Bowling Green, KY, now gunner's
mate on U. S. submarine, Is the poet
laureate Of Uncle Sans fighting
forces-and very warm personal
letter-friend of Congressman Drane
Here are the verses:
A Toast
(By George Morrow Mayo.)
AID here's to the blue Of the wind
swept North
When we meet on the fields of
France.
May the spirit Of Grant be with you
AS the sons of the North advance!
And here's to the gray of the sun
kissed South
When we meet on the fields of
France.
May the spirit of Lee be with you all
AS the sons of the South advance!
And here's to the Blue and the Gray
as One!
When we meet on the fields Of
France!
May the spirit of God be with us all
As the sons of the Flag advance!
When Congressman Drane first read
these verses they appealed strongly
to him He used them aptly several
times in speeches which were quoted.
Some folks got the idea that Con-
kgressman Drane had turned versiGer,
and considerable of discussion fol-
lowed as to whether or not he was a
poet.
The Florida member responded to
all such intimation that he was not
the author and he gave the real au
thor credit. From half a dozen States
he received correspondence about his
poem. Finally letter came from
Nine. Julliard Payne in Minneapolis
thanking him for having given her the
opportunity of reading verses that APP
peaJed so strongly to her, since she
wos of French birth To her also Con-
gresham Drane sent the name of the
author.
Then came letter of appreciation
from the composer Of these verses
George Morrow Mayo,--then at q
training station in New Hampshire
He thanked Congressman Drane first
for having given him the honor OF
considering his verses worthy to be
quoted in speech by a member OF
Congress, and second, for having
bought him some little fame by CIV
Ing wide publicity to the fact of his
authorship.
This correspondence has developed
into a cordial friendship, George
Morris Mayo is now at the U. s. sub
marine base, New London, Conn.
about to 60 on sea duty. When he re-
turns he is going to visit Tampa and
Lakeland as guest of Congressman
Frame and recite his own verses at q
