SEEK NEW BASIS FOR
 FEDERAL AID ROAD MONEY
IFrom Fridays Daily.)

The following is q copy of letters sent by the Arizona Highway De partment to Senators Ashurst and Smith and Congressman Hayden:
 "Onc third of the amount of Feder- al Aid appropriation for highway construction is distributed among the states in direct proportion to their population. The basis of population for the original Federal Aid Law of 1916, was the Federal Census of l9lO The recent additional appropriation, which covers a period of three years was on the same basis.
 Arizona Is one Of the fastest grow ing states in the union and in the last decade has more than doubled its population. It will be two years be- fore the results of the next census are available for proportloning Fed eral Aid according to population, The Federal Government, in its estimated census of 1917 for tac purpose of securing soldiers, sailors and marines for the protection of our country, of- ficiallv gave Arizona q population of 4O9,2 POS as against 2O43S4 by inc federal census of 1910
 "On behalf of the Arizona highway department 1t Is requested in the next session of congress you propose and work for all amendment to the feder- al aid law, which, instead of basing the relative population of Arizona on the federal census of 1910, would u-e inc later tI2ures oi the 1917 draft law.

there were seven bullet wounds. Some are said to have been caused by the exit of bullets. It is considered established however, that Mrs. An derson fired the entire five cartridges in the gun and reloaded and fired at least two more, including the one with which she tried to make away with herrelf.
 Jack Wilson, as he is known, was engaged in the transfer business and was owner of a heavy duty motor truck, operating hereabouts. He was discharged from the Army on Janu- ary 29, after having served overseas. He is about 29 years old, and came here three years ago from Los An geles. All his relatives, except a younger brother, employed at the Prescott fire station, are in Los An geles. An uncle is expected here tor day to attend to the funeral
 Mrs Anderson is originally from Washington state. She has been nursing here and on the coast for several years. In the summer of 1916, she married Second Lieutenant D. D. R. Anderson, Machine Gun O. 158th Infantry, who was stationed in Prescott in charge of recruiting for the Arizona regiment. Ander- son left for France with his regiment and his wife returned from San Diego where she had gone to be near him, and re-entered the practice of her profession in Prescott. It is under stood that her father is on his way here from Washington.
 The Coroner's Inquest
 Immediately on receiving the report of the killing, Coroner McLane sum moned a jury and went into the case. The sheriff's office made a careful investigation of the scene of the tragedy.
 At the inquest, Mrs. Love was the only witness except Deputy Jones She was badly unnerved and gave her testimony in such jerky man ner that the stenographer had to caution her several times. "If you had had bullet past your head you would be nervous, too," she said.
 The jury was composed of Eli Per 'lins, foreman, George Brown, dis charged soldier, john Took, Guy Davis. Harry Shumate and Mike Lawler
 The verdict was homicide at the hands of Mrs. Bernice Wiley An 1erson

 An oily individual by the name of Harry De Vanie, with an alias Of John C. s. Mencer, was arrested yes terday afternoon by Under Sheriff Bowers, under two criminal charges, mpersonating an officer and charged with burglary. With his bogus ere ientials as detective, the alleged offender was given free access to all coming houses in the city and his cleanup was assuming such huge pro- portions that he would have been ready in a short time to engage in business.

EASTERN TOURISTS ARE CAPTIVATED
 BY AZTEC LORE
(From Thursdays Daily)

Returning Tuesday night from Beaver Creek with party of New Hampshire tourists, Miss Erma Mears expressed herself in as delight cd oyer the wonders of this country, and is rejoicing over sceisg and not being compelled to depend on liteTa- ture or pictures to gain an insight into the sphere of what once was the realm of the Aztec.
 This young lady has a souvenir which she prizes as priceless taken from the base of Montezuma's Gas tie, in the shape of an earthen bowl, which though found in fragments has been cemented into a single piece of about six inches in diamater, the pre- historic vessel being practically the same as when made in the long ago. There are vague inscriptions thereon, but what meaning is conveyed only an archaelogist could decipher
 Other members of the party have secured by purchase mainly other relics of the Aztec era and in all the seven tourists state the trip has prov ed highly interesting and instructive as well in beholding the primiryc life of so long ago. Miss Mears, said one of the members of the party was anxious to pose as the Queen of the Aztecs," before the camera, but her raiment was not exactly suitable for the occasion, as she wore a khaki suit cut la male, but her features were perfect for the stunt as her physiognomy is of pronounced brunette. and she is pretty also.

MINE WORK
 BEING REWARDED
(From Saturdays Daily)

(From Saturdays Daily)
 The important announcement was made a few days ago by Fritz Vier- thaler, foreman of the Tillie Star puck on Slate Creek that the manage ment had authorized development to be rushed and a larger mine force was ordered to be placed at work immediately. It is presumed that Major A. J. Pickerill, the original owner, with whom is associated a small group of Prescott stockhold- CTS of the company, is appreciative of what had been determined, and t is planned to get the Iillie in hape for early production.
 While it has been known for some months the property was making a fine showing for ore zones in the deepest tunnel now being connected with upper workings in ore is the motive to warrant larger operations being given than at any time in the past. Another inducement is tine pre- 7ailing price of silver, this mine be lolding to that mineral class. At an carly date it is believed a mill will be installed, and after the mineral ,ontent is definitely known that the -eduction process will be adapted to rive a satisfactory recovery. The Tillie has been quietly developing for over five years, under the con ;ervative direction of Major Pickerill md that it has an attractive outlook or being a heavy producer on basis of permanancy for years to come, here is now no doubt
