CAPTAIN CUPID WAS
 STRATEGIC TACTICIAN
(Fron Wednesdays Daily.)

The path to nuptial happiness was somewhat rugged for w. II. Grant, of Humboldt, before he finally won the girl of his choice, Miss Mildred Walters, Of Mayer. Their marriage was solemnized, however, at Phoenix on Monday afternoon, but not before the tangled controversy over the age of the young lady was satisfactor- lily unwound.
 The first obstacle that faced the groom was when he appeared before the clerk of the Superior court at Ihoenix for a license. He gave his age as 2 years, and that of his sweet heart, IS years. F. E. Ruth, of Pres colt. who accompanied Grant, waa Gumfounded when he was told that his word was not sufficient to pro- cure d license, despite the fact thai he said he knew the governor and his secretary, both of whom could vouch for his veracity. A message over the long distance wire, however, was fai more acceptable to the clerk who pro- ceeded to give Grant his license, and the Commercial hotel a short time later was the scene of the pretty wedding. Mir. Ruth and Mrs. Kate Walters, mother of the bride, were witnesses.
 Mir. and Mrs. Grant are to return north in a few days, and will prob ably make their home at Humboldt, where the groom has been residing since being discharged from the army. He left Prescott in his auto on Sunday for Phoenix, where his wife and her mother preceded him from Mayer.
 Had the mother of the bride been with Grant and Ruth when they ap, Teared before the clerk to certify as to the age of the young lady, all commotion would have been avoided. Mrs Walters at the time, however, was downtown shopping.

DARING OFFICER WITH
 PERSHING IN FRANCE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Col John Miller, who was station ed at Fort Whipple for over five years with the 18th infantry, is now in France, serving on the staff of General Pershing.
 A letter conveying this informa' ton was received short time ago by friend in this city of Mrs. Miller who is residing at Chicago with a sister. Mrs. Miller will be pleasant ly remembered as making Prescott her home after her husband left foi the Mexican border with his regi- ment, and with her husband both were very popularly known in thi, community. Mrs. Miller sends word that her son, Jack also is in the army with the rank of lieutenant, and is serving in France, but not near his father. Billy" another son, has en, tered West Point, and is in his sec ond year.
 Col. Millc-, while stationed on the border, attracted the attention oi Gen. Pcrshing, who wired the war department for his services. His position is one of great responsibility but for whicl, he is capable, owing to his thorough training and his gal lantry, after many years of service from the bottom to the top. Col Miller's recognition by the head oi the American army in France will be learned of with much satisfaction by his many friends in Arizona.

IGNORANT FREE WITH
 THEIR CRITICISMS
(From Fridays Daily0

Dr. T. w. Huntington, who was a member of the American Red Cross commission to Italy. said in the course of an address to the delegates of the Junior Red Cross conference at the St. Francis Hotel in San Fran cisco, Monday, February 4:
 Recently I have heard vaporings, some sinister comments, and few criticisms, directed against the Ameri- can Red Cross in connection with the expenditure of an infinitesimal part of the Sl0O,000 appropriated for medi- cal research. The objectors are op- posed to the work of vivisection that has been carried on by the army medical corps attached to General Pershings staff. Those who arc criticising know about as much of animal experimentation as they do of the process of making high ex- plosivfs, or about astronomy; yet they stand out to criticisc the men who are tremendously wise, and who are responsible for the welfare of ev- cry soldier at the front.
 "What has been accomplished by the use of small part of this ap- propriation? Here is just one of the many things which to my mind prov es justification for this kind of work.
 "You have all heard of lockjaw. You know what a terrible thing 1t isI and you know that the victim seldom recovers. In the Civil war there were hundreds of cases of lockjaw. and l believe that there is not single au- thentic report of one case from which the patient recovered.
 Tn this war the records show that in the case of 40,000 gravely wound- ed soldiers, prophylactic dose of anti-tetanus serum was administered within a short time after the wounds had been received. Ordinarily. from this number of wounds from 250 to

GETTING LIVELY IN
 BRADSHAW COUNTRY
(From Fridays Daily>

An arrival during the week rom Crown King, who made in investiga- ton of every section of the Bradshaw mining country, gave a healthy re- port of the entire mineral situation, and stated there was every indication to warrant the broad assertion that such an admirable outlook could not otherwise be considered as but ot the highest possibilities for the future
 Going into details this mining op- orator of Colorado stated that one feature which impressed him favor, ably concerning that attractive field was the sincerity of those behind so many movements, and the permission given him to see payrolls and inves- tigate underground conditions al practically every camp, these cour- tesies being seldom accorded min inq man not directly interested.
 From his observations this strang- CT learned that established payrolls were as follows: At the Wildflower, 30 men: Old Tiger, 20; Springfield, 20: Ora Bell, l9; Algonkian, IS; Crown King mill, 20; Nelson, 10. Individual and sets of leascrs were scattered over the country at dozen points, and would easily number so: There are also eight mines owned by one or more, where development goes ahead on a small scale and some limited production is being given. The mill at Harrington to handle custom ore, would indicate for that inrmcd, fate locality wonderfully resourccful mineral asset, thousands of tons be- ing ready for treatment.
 There is one fact to impress the visitor, and that is the confidence shown by the mine owner, in his de- sire to operate legitimately and with out making any oily representations to induce capital on shoestring pro position" concluded this mining mans excellent impression of that country.

FOSTER BILL IS DENOUNCED BY
 |. OF |.
RESOLUTIONS TING FORTH OBJECTIONS TO
 PROPOSED MINE LEGIS- LAYTON ARE PASSED AT LAST NIGHTS MEETING.
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

The most important bit of business taken up last night af the Chamber of Comuerce meeting was the con sideration of the Foster bill. This matter has been given much atten- tion by the entire mining committee, composed of men, who are not only active, but highly qualified in their particular line, that Of mining: c. M. ColvOcoresses, chairman, general manager of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company; C. V. Hopkins, of the United Verde. l.. A. Kher ot the United Verde Extension, NJ. P. Gemmill of the Bradshaw Reduction Co.,, and George $. Johnson of the Arizona Binghamton. Going into the bill in its entirety. the chairman of mines committee asked for an ex- pression from the Chamber of Com merce. Without dissenting opinion, 1t was the sense of the Chamber that a resolution should be adopted by the mines and mining committee, oppos- ing the passage of this bill and urg- ing that our congressional delegation use its best efforts to lay the claims of their particular State, which is SO vitally connected with the mining in dustry, before their associates, in an endeavor to defeat this bill
 The resolution as adopted was as follows, copies of the same to be sent to every congressman in the United States:
 Whereas, the operating and de- veloping metal mines of Yavapai county, Arizona, constitute our principal industry and
 Whereas, the Foster bill recently referred to the mining committee ot the senate and house of representa- tives, would place this industry un- der Federal control and possibly un- der Federal operation.
 Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that we, the Yavapai County Cham Der of Commerce, do hereby express our belief that the passage of this bill would be disadvantageous to this industry and to the general properity of our county and State, and also to the Federal government and to the operations of the present war, and do hereby urge upon our representa- lives. in congress to earnestly endeav- or to prevent its passage.
 "We base our belief upon the fact that the production of our mines IS at present at the maximum, under the existing private ownership and op- eration, and that the development oi our prospects Is necessary to provide for the production of the future.
 "The present limited control exer- cised by the Federal government over the output of our metals IS quite suf- ficient to insure maximum assist ancc to the government and the maximum service from the mining industry in prosecuting the war in which all our best energies are now centered. No additional government control nor operation directly by the Federal government could possibly increase the production of the mines nor the efficiency of their operation, but would, in our opinion, tend to have an exactly opposite effect and be disadvantageous to the mine own CTS and operators, the employees and the general business interests of this county and State, and also the inter- ests of the United States

It is reported that the Lewisshons have made a substantial payment in the last few days, approximating ESQ., GOO, toward acquiring further control of the Jerome Copper Mining Com pany.
 The General Development Com- pany (The Lewisshon-Channing Sym dicate, holders of the Miami Copper Company has been developing the Hooker Ewing groups of the hold ings of the Jerome Copper Mining Company for the past six months, and it IS known that two we'll known en- gineers of the General Development Company have recently spent several days on the property, and the making of this payment after their examina- ton, certainly signifies that the de- velopment of the Jerome property is proving most satisfactory.
 It IS also reported that work on the Jerome Copper Mining Com pany's other holdings, located be- tween Binghamton and Mayer, will soon be started. This property has one of the largest and best surface showings in the Binghamton, Blue Bell, Mayer district, and it is under stood that from present development. shipments in carload lots averaging from six to eight per cent. can be made
 Work having been started on this property by as strong a concern as the General Development Company will undoubtedly be a big boost for the district.

COURT DIRECTS DEATH
 CLAIM SETTLEMENT
(From fridays Daiiy.)

Judge Sweeney yesterday afternoon authorized Jose NJ. Gonzalez, ad- ministrator of the estate of the late Antonio Bautista, to settle the death claim which the estate held against the United Verde Extension for the sum of S3,200. The copper company had originally been asked to pay SlO,- 900 for the death of Bautista, which occurred on November 4th.' The set tlement effected yesterday provided that the copper company will pay the funeral costs and also the costs oi the administration of the estate.
 Bautista was killed while working near a concrete mixer. It was said that the mans death came about largely through his own carelessness. as he persisted in standing too close to the machinery A chute lip attach ed to the mixer struck Bautista oh the head, inflicting fatal injury. Owing to those circumstances, the court decided that the death claim should be settled for an amount some what smaller than the one originally asked for.
