CURRENT. .OF BIG STRIKE
 IN NORTH
(From Sundays Daily)

Fred L. Jady, an arrival yesterday morning from Trinidad, Colorado, stated reports were in circulation that one syndicate of prospectors to enter the Navajo reserve from the San Juan river side was making a big cleanup in placer gold, and recoveries ranged from a few thousand to as high as $lOO,0OO. There were four miners in the party and they were being financed by Cripple Creek peo- pie, but who when interviewed re- fused either to deny or affirm the rumors.
 Mir Jady also states that to his own knowledge there are over 200 practical miners now in the field bor- dering on the San Juan river, and all are divided into small groups, each backed by mining men of different sections of the state. It is getting to be quite an interesting proposition and some are coming back to differ ent towns in a buoyant mood, indi- eating that if no actual cleanups are being made, there are indications of something about to happen" said Mir Jady at his hotel yesterday. He also mentioned that placer mining had the right of way, although quite q num- Der of outfits were far into the inter for looking for quartz properties, and of whom nothing as yet had been heard.
 The weather is getting cold and snow is falling, which will disturb prospecting and interfere with com munication. MT. Jady also mentioned this humorous incident associated with the big drive along the northern iringes of the chain of mountains skirting Arizona and New Mexico:
 One of the boys to come into town last week stated the rush in was like the Yank going through the Hinden- burg line over there," and the speaker knew what he was talking about as ne was with the First Division.

torial direction in the hands of the employees, also is contemplated, the first issue to appear in December.
 The lumber workers appear to have seized the shop committee" plan with enthusiasm. Matters of personal welfare, safety, sanitation and wage classification have been considered by the committee. One workman's claim for higher wages was refused by the committee. AL lowances for overtime suggested by the committee met speedy agreement from the mill officers, and other ques- tions of working conditions have been settled.
 On the workings of the plan, Presi- dent l. H. Bloedel of the mill com pany says:
 It is going to remove many of the difficulties that in the past have arisen between employer and em- ploye because of the fact that they have held aloof from each other. The elimination of outside interference will follow, because this system will inspire mutual confidence and reduce to 2 minimum rancor and antagon- isms."

SHEA FINDS HIS PEOPLE
 HAVE YOUNG IDEAS
(From Saturdays Daily)

George Shea rises to inquire whether the institution he is running is a home for pioneers or a young ladies' seminary, with matrimonial agency on the side.
 Shea has good reason to wrinkle his brow over the problem. All but two of the women inmates of the home, he declares, have young ideas and many of them have admirers.
 The departure of Mrs. Winslow who has been cook, to get married and the message of the chief waitress to the effect that she is going to get married in Tucson, added to the re- cent marriage of his bookkeeper, to say nothing of other earlier nuptiali- ties, convince the genial superintend- ent that there is something in the atmosphere.
 Mrs. Winslow, who is 59, approach, ed Emma Shull in the clerk of the courts office yesterday and demand ed marriage license. Mrs. Shull asked whom it was intended for, and the lady replied: For me, of course. ' She got it. She leaves for Clarkdale with the license to marry John Le- maire, aged $.
 "I must advertise in the matrimon- ial columns" collectively opined Shea.

PROVE NUMBER ON
 FORD WAS FALSE
(Frnm SrndaYs DafIYl


 Ford Engine No. 342632l cannot properly be in the touring car now held in hook by the sheriff of Yava- pal county, because it is hauling around a touring car in Omaha, ac- cording to the information received from Henry's office in Detroit, yes terday
 This and the fact that Frank Eos ter, having inspected the stamped number on the disputed Ford, says ;t's spurious, is accepted as proof that the machine sold to Henry Barbaglia by a man calling himself Charles F. Wheeler, was probably stolen. And A L. Hoppers of Peoria is right here to say that he is the man it was stoi- en from.
 It was learned from the capitol yesterday that Wheeler applied to the secretary of state on November l7 for a license for a Ford car bearing the above engine number. He was ssued state license No. 2S,56S.
 On the following day, November IS, Wheeler proceeded to go and get him a Ford to attach to the license plates. To make everything conform, he then filed off the honest engine number and replaced it with one of his own.
 Meanwhile, the three-sided puzzle is no nearer solving - Barbaglia is puzzled about his $500; Hoppers is intrigued by the problem of recover ing his car and Ed. Bowers is think ing he would give sum of money he couldn't afford to lose to get his claws on Wheeler

WALKER MINING
 TRANSACTION FOR S15,OOO
(F1 om Friday Daily0

According to deed recorded yestcr- day quite an important mining deal has heen consummated in Walker
 district C. B. Hayes selling his South Dome group Of five mines to the Big Dome Silver Mining Co.,, the consid- eration given being $15,000 It is un- derstood by this transaction that ar engagements are being closed by which large operations are to begin
 immediately, and the incorporating recently of the buying company leads 10 thi- conclusion. Mir. Hayes has brought the property sold to high class rating by performing extensive development and which warrants ac- ton on a broader and bigger line than an individual can assume. This deal also is . strong indication of the de- sirability of that field at present, since more capital is now going into it than at any time in many years, while determinations made in proper ties now working all the more adds to the attractive rating of that region.

MAR TIN IS HELD FOR TRIAL. BY
 M LANE
CFrom Saturdays Daiiyl


 That an attempt will be made to liberate Nichan Martin, charged with the murder of Arthur De Steunder, by means of a habeas corpus petition, was the declaration of counsel for the defense after Justice of the Peace McLane had bound the Armenian over for trial in the Superior court yesterday.
 The county attorney has failed or refused 10 put in enough evidence to connect us with this or any offense," " declared John E. Russell at the close of the case.
 The state asserted that Martin would be kept in custody and that he would stand trial.
 Apparently still suffering from the gunshot wound he sustained during his attempt to evade the officers as. he was being brought through Needles from California, Martin limp ed painfully to a seat in the justice court. He was attended by his Cali fornia attorney, NJ. Astor and J. E Russell of this city. Neil Clark con ducted the states examination.
 Patrick O'Connell, yardmaster of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix al Ash Fork, knew from his experience as a Canadian overseas infantryman, that De Steunder. whom he had seen with Martin at Ash Fork, was a Can adian soldier. He identified a photo graph of the deceased, as the man who had travelled through with the defendant. His testimony was in tended to block the claim said to have been made by Martin that he parted with De Steunder at Winslow.
 O'Connell identified De Steunder's cap, his discharge papers and the war service button that played so import ant a part in identifying the charred body.
 Provided this discharge and this button belong to the same man, the county attorney asked the witness state from the indorsement on the discharge, what number should be stamped on the reverse side of that button"
 O'Connell inspected the discharge and replied that the button should bear the number, "4OO754"
 Please look al the button and state what serial number it carries.
 "The number is 40O754," the wit ness replied.
 Saw Martin at Kingman.
 John Mulligan, IT,, acting as clerk in his fathers hotel at Kingman rented Martin a room on the evening oi October 1, he told the court. Mar tin registered as "hary Diver" He departed westbound the following morning, after having talked freely about having driven from Rhode Is land alone, and having found the trip most lonesome.
 Sheriff Davis told about being call ed to the scene of the killing and oi having found the body. Joe Furst told of having been sent to Nisalia, California, where he found a suit case containing a number of De Steunder's effects in a house belonging to d party named --. The court reporter nor the newspaper reporter were able to grasp the pronunciation. and Furst admitted his inability toI spell it.
 The suit case had been marked with the deceased's name, but the mark had been partly erased.
 At this point, the state announced it rested. Russell instantly claimed the right of his client to be discharg ed, and promised habeas corpus pro- ceedings just as soon as the record oi the preliminary trial was filed in the higher court.
