COURT TROUBLE ENDS
 AND MINE DEAL FOLLOWS
(From Saturdays Dai|y)

Following dismissal of the law suit carly this week in the Superior court, wherein the New Mexico Lead and Copper Co. figured as plaintiff against Alex Ratcliff, very important min irg deal was the sequel yesterday.
 Mir. Ratcliff sells the property which was involved, and the above company. which was represented in this trans action by Attorney J. H. Morgan of Prescott, comes into ownership on a price agreed upon of Sl5,OOO. Quite large first payment was made and under the terms of the deal Mir. Kat cliff is to assume charge as general manager, receiving instructions by wire to go ahead on plans previously outlined The property is to be plac- cd in action immediately, and finances are ready for extensive development.
 This company ii will be rcmem- bered. performed considerable work few years ago, sinking shaft about 100 feet deep, and with other eXplora- ton of over 200 feet established a de- s;rable property. It also IS at pres ent successfully operating in New Mexico, and has main offices at Chi cago. That there may be no confu- sion in designating the property sold, this group IS better known by the name or Breed, and is not in the same locality as the holding of the Brad shaw Copper O., which Mir. Rat cliff also sold some months ago.
 The Breed has for many years en- jcyed an excellent name for its inn rrensc cxidized veins and is situated about two miles cast of Senator, above the old Jeff Davis ranch. To the depth reached copper predomin- ates, with gold, silver and lead as by rroducts. Mining men state that Gepth is required, but such an attrac- tive naturalization cannot De found anywhere in this field. Under the strong belief that the property will make an excellent showing when old workings are extended, funds have been provided to substantiatc what their engineers recommend. This makes the fourth mining deal to be closed ir that section within the past two months, from which can be judg- ed the possibilities prevailing in that old mineral field.

KA|SER|SM WAS HARD DOSE ID
 SWALLOW
ALIEN ENEMY MACHINIST AT CLARKDALE SHELTER ROUNDED UP BY LIBER- TY BOYS. AND PRAYS FOR FORGIVENESS.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Shouting for the kaiser and using vicious language in condemning the United States for being at war with Germany, is not lightly treated oI easily brushed aside at one mining center in Yavapai county, and that locality is Clarkdale.
 An arrival from that smelter center yesterday drew vivid picture where in certain naturalized citizen, form. crly of Germany, paid the penalty of his alien enemy bickerings in manner which conclusively impressed him that he was treading on delicate ground and when the trick was turned by lovers of democracy, this vitupera- tive individual was fully shorn of his race leanings and tanned to a state of submission, which he admitted in a pronounced manner.
 According to the statement made, this Hun was placed in the center of a Round Robin lineup and in his docile plight was ludicrous object. He knelt on his knees and with high stretched hands offered applications to the Almighty for forgiveness and also implored Divine blessing for his future loyal guidance. This demon stration did not end the festivities. He was given a liberty chaser later and told to hit the trail by losing his job as machinist. This warn-headed individual made Prescott and this To- cality his home for many years.

SIMPSON BROS ESTATE
 READY TO BE CLOSED
(From Saturdays Daily>

The matter of the final settlement of the estates of \. H. and J. H. Simpson, the two young ranchers who were killed more than year ago by Hugh McKinnon and one Of his pals, came up for the attention of Judge Sweeney in the Superior court yesterday afternoon The father of the boys, James w. Simpson, has been acting in the capacity of adminis- trator, and reported to the court that all debts had been paid and that the property was now in shape to divide among the four heirs of the unfor- tunate young men.
 The estate of N. H. Simpson was valued at S3,340, and consisted of cash, notes cattle and some real es- tate. J. IT. Simpson left cattle, horses and land valued at S1,T0. The four heirs Df the deceased are the father. James Simpson, Hana Simpson, Mrs. Laura Simpson Meranda and lthemer Simpson. The property is to be divid- in equal amounts among the surviv- ing relatives. Neither of the boys were married at the time of their death. The court will pass upon the petition for final settlement on Febru- ary 23d.
 The Simpson boys were shot and killed at lonely spot on the Slate creek road, south of Prescott, during the Winter of lol6. They had cap tured two men who were suspected of robbing a number of mining camps in that district, and were bringing them to the county jail in this city. Tn some unknown manner, the crooks secured the guns carried by their captors, and succeeded in killing both of them. Hugh McKinnon was later capture and charged with the mur- ger. He was convicted at the Septem- Der jury session of the Superior court, largely through the means of con- fcssion which Mckinnon was said to have made to Mrs Jessie Trout. while both were confined in the county jail here.

 The Winter Palace square was fill cd with an excited mob. who sur rounded the little knot of ministers and their guards, shouting, kill them! Kill thernw Wild cries of rage were roaring over the semi-darkness of the square and it looked as though, at any moment, the mob might throw itself upon the ministers and tear ttem to pieces.
 As the ministers were marched along tl.c river quay on their way to the Trinity bridge, the crowd and the tumult constantly increased and the chant oi the mob changed from Kill them!" to Throw them in the river!" ard in spite of endorsements to the z, ards the danger of general lynch ing grew, particularly when it was discovered that kerensky had escap- ed.
 At the Trinity bridge there was all most a catastrophe. Over the bridge which was completely covered by a crowd, an armored automobile en- deavored to make its way and when a call to halt was disregarded fire was opened from both ends of the bridge. The crowd threw themselves flat up- on the bridge until the firing ceased. Finally at six o'clock the ministers reached the fortress and were lodged Tn safety in its cells.

SHANNON PEOPLE SHAPE
 UP FOR BIG WORK
(From Saturdays Daily)

T. I. Arnold, an arrival yesterday from the Shannon Copper Company camp, ir Yeager canyon. stated that electrical power was being introduced, and deep mining would soon be under way on large scale, the main work ing shaft to be driven still deeper from the old 1,2OO foot level.
 This company recently acquired this old coprer after conducting for over a year, exploration to find condi- tons, and it is stated determinations were SO satisfactory that an outright sale followed.
 Mir. Arnold also stated that there is every reason to believe this copper will be one of the biggest in this field and being familiar with underground conditions bases this belief on actual observations. Another good feature of the Shannon IS that its employees are satisfied, the management being considerate as we'll as liberal.

FINAL DECISION SOON
 ON WAGE DEMANDS

JEROME, Feb. "A final decision or the demand of the miners and smeltermen's unions of Jerome and Clarkdale for increases in pay aver aging Sl day is expected this week from Joseph H. Myers, Federal ad- ministrator for this district.
 Administrator Myers was in Je- rome carly in January, at which time the unions presented their demand tor wage increases. Various data re- garding high rentals and the cost oi living was supplied him. Myers also met with the mine. operators and ht ard their side of the question. The operators contend that as long as copper remains at 231l cents a pound and the cost of production remains at its present high level, they cannot af- ford to increase wages.
 When Myers left for Phoenix and Miami he expected 10 return in about ten days, but he is nearly two weeks overdue.

CASH-AND-CARRY PLAN EFFECTIVE
 ON MARCH 1ST
MERCHANTS OF PRESCOTT WILL ELIMINATE DELIV- FRY SERVICE EXCEPT TO THOSE WHO WISH TO PAY EXTRA FOR IT.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Hunt up that old market basket, and tell Willie, the boy scout that or, and after March lst he will have to spend part of his time scouting back and forth between the corner grocery store and the kitchen carry ing home the groceries for mother And if the head of the house intends to entertain a few of his pals at q Dutch lunch at home some night, he will have to carry home tine cheese and dill pickles and pigs feet himself instead of having the butcher boy sneak up the alley with them be- cause
 After March lst ;he grocers and butchers of Prescott are going to do away with the old-time delivery sys- tenn, and will, insofar as is possible, relegatc the delivery boy and his tin lizzie to the ranks of things that used to be, along with the paper collars. h;gh-wheeled bicycles and knitted neckties of yesteryear.
 It seems that the high cost Of de- livering has reached such attitudes that the local purveyors of foodstuffs recently reached an agreement where by all will simultaneously discontinue all deliveries except in cases where the customer is willing to stand the expense of the particular trip. A tariff of l5 cents will be made for each delivery in the city limits. If the goods delivered weigh more than 100 pounds, the customer will find an additional charge of two bits tackled onto his bill, and a few such items will in all probability convince him of the desirability of carrying his own.
 Time was, of course, when the grocer could maintain delivery ser vice and get away with it, but that was back in the days when cream was five cents a pint and the butcher threw in chunk of calf liver with every purchase. During the past few years, however, the costs charged tC the delivery service have been mount ing until finally a point was reached where the merchant faced the alter rative o fcither discontinuing the de- livery or charging the cost of the same to the customer. The former method was chosen, and an advertise. ment carried in yesterdays issue oi the Journal Miner announced the fact that after the first of next month, the housewife would have to carry her purchases away with her or pay extra for having them delivered.
 Not only will the delivery system be eliminated, but all credit sales will be stopped and hereafter if you hope 10 have your order filled at your ia, vorite grocery store, you will have to have the requisite amount of cash along with you when the sale is made.
 The "cash-and-carry" plan has been adopted by the following local deal CTS: BaShford- -Burmister Co.,, Rich ards Bros, E. A. Kastner & Co.,, Sam Dryer, ]. Blumberg, N. Levy, NJ. Red den, Archie Middleton, J. l. Gardner and Arthur Bischoff.
