ANOTHER LARGE MINING DEAL
 IS CLOSED
INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE TAKE OVER 3RD GROUP IN COPPER BASIN, CIV ING I'll EM A H U G E ACREAGE.
(From Sundays Daily)

Through Dr. L. P. Morgan, chiei consulting engineer of the Interna- tional Syndicate of Mines and Smelt- CTS, a deal for the Louis LaBarr holdings in Copper Basin was form ally closed Saturday and possession given to the purchasers.
 This mining transaction Is of i'm portance, owing to the excellent rat ing of this group, known as the Rainy Day, which embraces 10 claims, on which development has been going on for fourteen years, Mir. LaBarr performing this work individually and being sole owner. In recent years he had been importuned to sell by many buyers, but all were refused an opportunity, on their terms, of becoming interested. Development covers over 1000 feet of openings. and in all places mineral conditions are decidedly attractive in gold and cop per as principal values.
 Dr. Morgan stated yesterday work begins on Monday morning, and en route is compressor to drive drills. The initial plan of operating is to run q tunnel at a certain point of $50 feet in length, which by surveys made recently will give depth of over 600 feet. Three shifts will be employed and camp is now being erected.
 This last move of the International in adding another group to their al ready large holdings, in that pro- nounccd mineral zone, IS naturally creating comment in mining circles for the immcnsity of their mineral possessions. The Arizona Portland was the first purchase, followed a short time later by the Brown deal, then the Martin Schuber, and now the Rainy Day goes into the big mcr- ger, all claims numbering nearly 100. and covering over 1850 acres, every claim of which is either prospccted or determined sufficiently to warrant further and extensive deep develop mcnt.
 Work is going ahead on the Port land, camp is being built on the Schubcr and the Rainy Day IS to get in full swing tomorrow. All of these holdings have the advantage of water and timber in abundance.

 Last week it was happy over the advent of a new mine in the district to rival the Blue Bell and the Bing- hanton. Then half a dozen of its boys went to war and the town be- came heavy-hcartcd. More wanted to go but Uncle Sam said No, we need copper and cattle too" So the men and women of the district got to- gethcr and decided to help win the war" at home, with Mayer Red Cross day.

From Canon and Crown King to Hum- boldt, ranChcrS, miners, cow-punch- CTS and their women friends arc com- ing to help our boys over there. The day Is Friday, May 24th.
 These arc some of the things that arc going to happen: The school children arc going to parade and drill in costume and sing patriotic songs.

|NCEND|ARY FIRE HAS AR|zONAN
 IN M|XUP
WIFE OF WILLIAM C. SHAW FIGURES IN ALLIE G E D SENSATIONAL RSON CASE IN LOS ANGELES, WHEN LIVES ARE LOST.
(From Sundays Oaily)

Los Angeles papers of May 1, give a sensational expose of an inccndiary ire occurring recently in that city. in which the wife of William C. Shaw figures prominently in the grand jury investigation, and it is intimatcd that five indictments will be returned, each alleged offender being charged with the grave crime of arson, if not
 murder.
 It is the contention of those who charge that Mrs. Shaw'S home was destroyed by fire that an arson plot has developed and her marriage has material bearing on the case, which already has involved men high up in insurance circles. Investigators who went to Baltimore found that a mar riagc license was issued to Mary F. Garrett of Glendale, Calii., and Will liam C. Shaw. of Prescott, Ariz., SS years old. An unusual feature of the marriage was that arrangements for the ceremony were made by tcle- phone, 1t is declared. by man who said he was a friend of Shaw, and who is said to have been witness to the marriage. The startling dis covery was made when the certificate was examined at the Clerks office that the name of this witness had been erased. Upon the return to Glendale of Mrs Shaw she gave 1t out that she had been married to q very wealthy mining man of Prescott, Ariz.. who was going to build her a palatial residence. One of the wit nesscs before the grand jury was B. w. Enc. an employee of the Title Insurance and Trust Company, who stated that Mrs. Shaw claimed Sl2,- 500 damages, but payment was held up when charges were filed with the district attorney that the fire was or inccndiary origin, and Mrs. Shaw was accused of presenting false claims. Important papers, among which was the original document on which Mrs. Shaw had prepared her proofs of loss, were said to have been given to Enc. and these papers are now reported to have been stolen.
 Another witness was William c. lIaller, son-in-law of Mir. and Mrs. Luther Kcssling. whose deaths arc attributed 10 the Glendale fire, by the investigators. Kcssling was Mrs. Shaw's brother-in-lav. and he died of burns the morning Mrs. Shaw's resi- dcnoc burned \ month later Mrs. Kcsslng died after taking cyanide of potassium. Mrs. Blanche Peterson, sister of Mrs. Shaw. has been wit !. ness before the grand jury for the
