GODFREY IS HELD
 UNDER BOND OF Sl0,000
(Ernrn WedncsdaY's DailY.l

Residents of Walnut creek arc complaining of the wilful act of cer- tain Prescott hunters, who are known to have shot and killed two female deer. the carcasses of both having been found by Buster Brown and K. W. Ainsworth while riding the range last week, Another cruel and common practice of the city hunter is to wol-id deer and leave it to its fate, several dead bucks also having been discovered by range people this sea- son. It is contended that a wound ed animal should be followed up and dispatched if for no other reason than to end its agonies.
 The killing of the two females will be placed before the game warden of the State and a rigid prosecution IS to follow. There arc other known violations of the sex law in deer kill ing, and it is proposed to have bill introduced in the next legislature to close the deer season for period of at least five years.

ANOTHER LARGE
 COPPER DEAL IS CLOSED
(From Fridays Daily.)

From reliable sources 1t was learn ed yesterday that the copper hold ings of McMahon Brothers, together with the interests of the old Zoni; Mining Co.,, which adjoin, were talk en over this week by syndicate O copper mining people of Tucson, {; consolidation having been effected for this particular. transaction, bur with a specific consideration for each copper.
 The Zonia has been idle for somc years. and is owned by Philadelphia people. while the McMahon is nov active, and for several years ha' been regular shipper. Develop ment giving each holding embraces several thousand feet, and the are9 covered in this deal will cover over 200 acres. A factor to promote thr closing of this big deal was the min cral determinations of the mos authoritative gcologists in copper 1T the nation. several of whom were or the ground at different times in re- cent months, thereby making their conclusions absolute. The final ex animation was made only last week when the deal was decided upon. IL is stated the two principals while or the ground and after the final affix ing of signatures was made, openl' stated they were more than pleased and that operations would begin in side of thirty days They announc ed that where an excavation had beer made to erect hoist the 6O-foot face of the dyke carried copper values of four per cent, which information evoked surprise by those interest ed.
 The dyke of over 10 feet in widtF which cuts through the Zonia anc McMahon groups for over a mile 1T length and is well defined by its outcrop. shows a copper content O from 3 to 12 per cent, the new in vestors making these values knowr after the deal was ratified.
 Construction Of camp, introduc- ing modern machinery and other matters are to receive immediate consideration. Kirkland. distant about nine miles, will be the gateway to the new movement.

PROTEST AGAINST RE-
 MOVAL OF MEN TO EAST
CFrom Thursdav'S Dailv.l

At the meeting of the county coun- cil of defense held in this city this week, the organization went on rec ord as being strenuously opposed to the further removal of any more labor from this county to the eastern muni- tions and other industrial plants, and the State council was petitioned to use its offices to prevent any further drafts from Arizona. During the past month or so, two or three large bodies of unskilled workmen have been sent east from this county, the result being that there IS now an acute scarcity of labor with which to begin work on the erection Of the group of hospital buildings at Fort Whipple.
 The council also signified its disap- proval of the proposed removal ot the federal troops from the Jerome district. The soldiers were rushed into that part of the county from Globe during the last week of Sep tember following the outbreak of a number of lawlcss Mexicans in that district. The council had been in formed in an indirect way that 1t was proposed 10 withdraw the troopers from the district, and fearing that there might be a recurrence of the trouble. the military commander ot the department of which Arizona IS a part was petitioned 10 allow the soldiers to remain there for an indefi- nitc period or until it was clear that there would be no more lawlessness.

The new state con- mittee has met, organized and endors- ed the candidacy of Candidate Golfer without a word of explanation to the voters, who are left to go it blindly and follow the lead of a party minor itv, who are forcing the majority to accept situation that is highly ob- iectionable to them and which, how ever it terminates, will be to the dis advantage of the greater number or the democratic party.
 The election of Fred T. Golfer at the polls in November means but one th;ng-.the continuation of George Wiley Paul Hunt in the gubernatorial chair for two years.

 George Wiley Paul Hunt was presi- lent of the convention which draft d the constitution of the state of Arizona. No man in Arizona IS more familiar with that document than IS he. At the time he promised Fred T. Golfer his support for the democratic nomination George Wiley Paul Hunt knew that Golfer was ineligible and
 hat his election would mean the con tinuation of himself in office for two ears more.
 There is no question of law. Here 's one point upon which there is no division. even among lawyers. The failure of an election in November. vhich would be the result in event hat Golfer receives the highest num- Der of votes, means the continuation If Hunt in office for two years.

PRESCOTT MUST HOUSE 2,OOO
 MEN SOON
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL LOOK INTO PROB LEM OF FURNISHING ROOMS FOR MEN EN- FLOWED AT FIT. WHIPPLE

Within very few days, Prescott IS going 10 come face to face with the big problem of housing at least 1000 more workers. This IS one of the gravest situations which has come be- fore the citizens of this community It IS true that as many as possible of the single men who are to be em- ployed as laborcrs on the construc- ton work at the post will be located on the grounds, but there will be many hundreds of skilled mechanics and high-class laborcrs who will want to bring their families to this com munity In order that this problem may be handled in the right manner and that Prescott will not be given the same "black-eye" that other com- munities similarly situated have receiv- ed, due to their lacl, of interest in caring for such matters, a special committee will be appointed today by F. s. Clark, who is acting for Presi- dent Vielc of the Chamber Of Com merce during the latter's absence. This committee will go into this sit nation thoroughly with the contractor and his assistants at the post and en- deavor to solve this problem which will soon be here.
 In order that this situation may be temporarily relieved to some extent, the Chamber of Comwerce is asking that every home in Prescott which can accommodate these workers, tele- phone to the office at lS0 giving an account of the number of persons and the kind of accommodations 10 be had. This means, rooms, room and board. apartments, furnished rooms for light housekeeping, etc. Let every resident of this community realize that the work which IS being done and which will soon commence at Whipple is as important as the work which is being done lover there" and that it is the patriotic duty of the citi- zcns of this community to come for ward and throw open their homes to accommodate those who are going to make it possible for the government to carry on this great work. A cafe teria will be placed on the grounds near the construction work so that as many workers as possible may be ted by this means. but Prescott IS go- inq to be taxed to the utmost.
 Many of the skilled mechanics who will come to Prescott. will receive from SEQ 10 as higtl and higher than $500 a month. With the citizens of Prescott cooperating. this situa- ton may be partially relieved but it will be necessary for prompt action on the part of the citizens of Pres colt in order that some good may be done immediately The construction of houses for rental must be taken care of. but the time has now come when the mechanics are arriving to take I'D definite work and in the meantime. until sufficient houses arc available the people of Prescott must assist
 Remember to phone 1S0 today that you will accommodate some of these people.
