He had been in jail several times, and the officers of the district had been instructed to keep an eye on him. Windsor had been in the pool hall of Mike Loftus just before the shooting, and on leaving the place, he noted that Orosco was passing along the opposite side of the street. In an effort to avoid meeting the man, Windsor turned and started in an opposite direction from the one which he had been going, and the Mexican is said to have crossed the street and entered into conversation with Wind sor. The latter said that the other had began abusing him for watching him so closely and warned Windsor that the official surveillance must cease. A quarrel ensued, and the of- ficer says that to protect his own life, he drew his Colt and shot the Mexican.
 Word of the affair reached the sheriff's office in this city short time later, and Sheriff Young and County Attorney Haworth left inn mediately for the scene of the shoot ing. A coroner's inquest was held over the remains during the day, the verdict to be made public today. The deceased was about 5 years of age.

NEW STEEL FOR SANTA
 FEE DUE HERE SOON
(From Thursdays DailyD

The new steel for use in rebuilding the Santa Fe lines from Ash Fork to Skull valley has been shipped from points on the main line, and is ex- pected to be ready for unloading at various points by the middle of Feb rrary, according to General Manager w. A. Drake. The laying of the steel is to begin shortly after it is receiv- ed, if sufficient labor can be had to put the work through.
 The stretch from Ash Fork to Skull valley comprises about 40 per cent oi the total length of the line, and the road hopes to be able to continue the work between Skull valley and Phoe- nix during the year 1919.
 At present the road is using 56- and 65-pound rails on this line, but the new steel will tip the beam at S5 pounds. and will of course permit the use of much heavier types of locomo- tivcs than those in use at present.
 Up until the time the government imposed the numerous embargocs on freight shipments, the business on the local branch had grown to such an extent that changes in the roadbed were imperative, but of course since the road has been forbidden to haul about so per cent of the commodities which usually make up freight ship ments, the traffic has fallen off per ceptibly, but all arrangements for the improvements having been made be- fore the chaotic conditions arose to confront the business of the carriers, the Santa Fe proposes to go through with its campaign of rehabilitation, regardless of the fact that business at present does not justify the ex- penditures.

CFrom Fridays Daily>

Harris lives up to his promise regarding his future conduct. Harris paid the fine to Clerk Farley and was released from custody.
 The indictment which was return cd against the defendant charged him with conducting a game of black jack in Prescott on or about February Is, 1917.

DRILL WORKING IN
 CHINO VALLEY OIL FIELD

PHOENIX, Jan. 30-Now that the Arizona Oil & Refining Company has spudded in its first we'll in Chino valley, and the extensive drilling op- erationS are under way, the eyes of the country are on the new oil field.
 Reports coming from Dr. E. A. Ed wards, who is personally in charge of the operations in the field, are to the effect that the drill is working per fcctly. The first bailings indicate that rapid progress should be made toward bringing in the first oil well
 Hundreds of people are visiting Chino valley daily-coming on trains from Prescott and Jerome-in auto- mobiles-and on horseback. All are very enthusiastic. All look forward to the Arizona Oil & Refining Com pany bringing in the first big oil we'll in Arizona, which means noth- ing more than the starting of one of the greatest oil booms in history.
 On the initial day of the starting of drilling operations a heavy snow storm ragged in Chino valley. This did not deter the coming of an en- thusiastic contingent from Jerome, which lies at the very doors of the valley.
 The reople of Jerome have witness ed, inc recent years, copper booms that have made many millionaires, and with this in mind they look to Chino valley as the next scene ot boom days.
 The Arizona Oil & Refining Com' 2any is fully financed. They have a large sum of money in the treasury 70 continue drilling to the depth where, geologists say, lies the oil.
 Every effort is being made by the company to prove the valley-to prove the words of five noted geolo- gists who practically unite in saying that there is oil in paying quantities ir Chino valley"

METAL THIEVES
 WRECK COSTLY PLANT
From Wednesdays Daiiy.)

Word came to the city yesterday that the costly but unused dredging plant of the Lynx Creek Mining Co.,, located near the old hydraulics, had been practically demolished by thieves to secure certain metal for junk.
 The vandals took advantage Of the storm to do their work and the ap- pearancc of the plant after they had secured what they wanted, mainly brass and copper, showed it to have been willfully wrecked and rendered entirely useless. Tracks ia wagon lead to the road to Prescott, and 1t is presumed it was unloaded in this city. Until an investigation IS made the exact loss cannot be known. It is also reported arrangements were being closed by which the drcdge was to be placed in action in short time, now that water is again abundant in the creek.
 An investigation of the machinery showed that the thieves in an effort to secure few pounds of brass and copper fixtures destroyed other at tachmcnts valued at several hundred dollars.

cents to l2 cents the pound on Ari- zone production. None will be less than three cents. Five cents profit has been based on 31l cents Federal tax minimum. Some of the producers who will have to pay higher than this amount are going to have difficulty in earning profit; some of them will show loss.
 The minimum of three cents shows S21 100000 that Arizona would pay under income tax law provisions. Ev- cry advance of a cent over the three cents means S,000,0O0 added. In other words, the tax represents one cent the pound on copper at the shelter door, rising from the possible minimum of three cents. That is, if the capitalization and other condi- tions of organization called for a tax of three cents, the concern out putting 100000 pounds of copper would pay S3OO,0OO Feedral tax; if its capital and other organization fea- lures called for the five cent rate, it would pay S5O0,000; if it came in the l2-cent class, it would pay Sl 200, 1000.
