MINERS MUST DO ASSESSMENT
 WORK AGAIN
CONGRESS HAS REFUSED TO RE-ENACT LAW AM NULING ANNUAL TITLE WORK ON MININ GI CLAIMS.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Congressman Carl Hayden has of ficially advised County Recorder Me Swiggin of Prescott that the per formance of annual title work on mining claims, as provided for in the Revised Statutes of the United States, has been restored in opera ion, and for the year 1919 there will be no exemption rights afforded owners. as has been observed during ne past year. Accordingly, the law ;wings back automatically as prevail
 d before the exemption legislation vas enacted to relieve owners of the legal requirements in performing the customary work.
 The following is a copy of Con- gressman Hayden's letter, and was written at Washington on January l6, 1919:
 q regret to advise you that the western members of congress have been unable to secure favorable ac- ion upon the joint resolution which passed the senate last July, relative 10 the suspension of the require nent of annual assessment work on mining claims during the year 1919.
 "This resolution was called up for consideration on October F last, but ,ould not be brought to a vote at hat time. When congress re-assem- oled in December, the armistice had Ieen declared, which makes 1t inn possible to pass this legislation, be- ;ause a majority of the members of ne house are of the opinion that the country should be returned to a peace basis as soon as possible. I -egret to make this unfavorable re- port"

YAVAPAI APPEAL HALTS
 SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.

PHOENIX, Jan. 24-A telegram
 from the Yavapai Chamber of Com mcrce. announcing the. suspension of work on g of the buildings to be erected under the building plan for
 Fort Whipple, caused a recess of the state senate this morning until a
 joint memorial could be drafted. which was then speedily passed upon .reconvening.
 The telegram was addressed to President Johns of the senate and stated that the work had been stop ped on orders from Gen. March, chief of staff, and their instructions were not to resume work until fur ther orders from Washington.
 Plans of the war department pro- vided for making Fort Whipple the principal barracks of the army for receiving and treating cases of tu- berculosis in the army. To this end there had been appropriated S1.7OO,- GOO for buildings and equipment. The elimination of the 22 buildings. upon which work has been stopped, means a very considerable curtailing of the plans of the department, for Fort Whipple, and is regarded as a seri- ous blow to the post, the city of Prescott and the state of Arizona.
 The memorial adopted is address ed to the Arizona senators and rep resentative in congress, Vice-Presi- dent Marshall, the secretary of war, the quartermaster general, the sur geon general and to Gen March, chief of staff of the United States army It sets forth that the stop ping of this work will work hard ship on many convalescent soldiers now quartcrcd at Fort Whipple and deprive the barracks of the neces- sary heating, nursing and surgical facilities and asks that the order be i rcscinded and the work resumed

s. F. p. & ?. CLERKS
 FORM UNION IN CITY.
LFrom Fridav's Dailv.l

Under conditions which would in- dicate a healthy and enthusiastic fu- ture the organization last night of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks was perfected in this city, the cere- monies being conducted by Dan w. Richmond, representing the grand lodge of Kansas City. The order has been in existence for some years and this move welds the last link in the long chain from headquarters to Prescott, and is taken merely as a measure of self-protection to those who as yet have not enjoyed the rights extended other union em- ployees of the railway service.
 This order is in no way to be iden- tified with existing local organiza- tions Of the railway in this division. and is to be conducted on purely an independent basis. However it will be affiliated with the American Fed cration of Labor, and all railway or ganizations, to which it has been ac- credited representation and voice in deliberations. The scope of mem bership extends over the whole sys- tenn. of the S. F. P. & P, with Pres colt selected as headquarters, the majority of members residing in this city.
 Signing the roll last night were 40 employees from Prescott alone. from which may be inferred the ia, vorable auspices attending the ere ation of this order. The spirit oi unity also was wholesomely reflect ed. and in this respect there was nc intimation of rancor as to the meth ods to be pursued in the future.
 The order has 70 lodges along the main line of the Santa Fe and its splendid record in attaining protec- ton, improved conditions and higher wages for employees, marks its ad- vent to this community as a worthy one in behalf of the interests repre- sented.
 Mir. Richmond eloquentiy and ably rehearsed the benefits of his organ ization, and received an ovation ire, quentlv during his discourse. AT matters were considered from the standpoint of justice and there wa: hearty coordination from all in at tendance.
 Officers elected were the follow ing: s. D. Hoover. president: E. H Darrow. vice president; R. J. Oliver secretary-treasurer.

LARlM0RE BOY
SUICIDES AT
PARK RIVER
Confronted With Theft
Charges IS Year Old Lad
Takes Own Life.

Park River, N. D.. Sept. 3o.-Roy
L. Austin, 10, son of W.. H. Austin.
farmer in the Larimore ne~ighborhood,
committed suicide here yesterday
while riding in a ar with the local
police chief and the county coroner
Of Walsh. county. The rash deed was
done with a small 22-caliber revolver
and 80 quickly done that the police
man Who was riding in the same seat
with the boy could not prevent it.
Young Austin was facing arrest on
charges of wheat theft, evidence hav-
ing already been secured at the Inn
perial elevator where a check for
$142.92 had been given Austin for
what is alleged to be stolen wheat,
and the party. was on it's way to the
Carghill elevator when the boy sud
denly whipped out the revolver and
fired a shot into his BRAIN, dying in
about an hours time without regain
ing consciousness. The affair took
place at 1880, the boy dying shortly
after noon. *. :
Was Going to Hoople.
It appears that young Austin had
been working with a team on a
threshing rig near Larimore during
the greater part of the fall; and was
on his way tothe Hoople neighbor-
hood where he expected to haul pota-
toes for a short time. He was appre-
hended here for leaving his team
standing out tied to the wagon at
the edge Of town. When questioned
by the authorities he said he had
been hauling wheat. This aroused
suspicious and when further ,ques-
toned he owned up to the fact thai
he had been hauling wheat that was
not his own. ..
Coroner David Johnson and the pc.
liceman took the boy in a a and
drove to the farm where the wheat
had. been taken, the boy showing
them the exact granary from which
1t had been taken. He then told
them the elevators to which he had
sold it and they drove back to town
going first to the Imeprial elevator
where they learned of the check giver
the boy. They were on their way
to the Carghill elevator to continue
the investigation when the boy sud
denly ended all with the pistol shot
Was Dependent.
It IL believed that the boy was ou'
of money and respondent. when HI
took the wheat. and it is thought tina
the authorities would have dealt with
him az kindly as possible, considering
his youth and the fact that this is be
lieved to have. been his first sohfense
