WHAT PROMPTED
 BUILDING OF THIS LINE
tFrom Thur~dav's Daily2

The electric line of the Arizona Power Co. will reach Phoenix this week, after having been under con- struction for over eight months, and passes through the Black Canyon country, tapping some mines that arc active and will also connect up with many others that are being projected to start up this spring. The line leaves the Fossil Creek-Verde Valley route and ii. is stated the object of this auxiliary service is to provide against possible emergencies of the future by making connection with the Roosevelt power line into Phoenix, thereby affording immediate electrical service ill case of a breakdown in the north. Also are there many rumors afoat affecting relations with the power consuming patronage, but which are mere speculation. Con- struction of this big undertaking has been attended with little publicity, owing to the isolated route covered, and only in a few instance of mining companies to be affected has there been any general news given out, and that under restricted conditions. It is known to be a fact however, that the close proximity of this power line to a certain old gold property ill the eastern part of this county has been the inducement for it to get ready 10 resume, and which when again in action will be one of the biggest opetatcd in the state ol it. mineral class.

DRAMA OF DEER SHAVING
 PARSON IN ARIZONA

ALBUQUERQUE, Jan. 8-A min ister of the gospel, a school teacher, girl pupil, pet dog, dead deer, a United States forest ranger, and a justice of the peace were the chief actors in game violation case re- gently successfully prosecuted on the Coronado national forest in South ern Arizona, according to d report just received by the district forester. The curtain fell when the minister pleaded guilty to killing a deer out of season and was fined $50.
 A school teacher, one of her pupils, and a pet dog went out mountain climbing. Although the dog was not noted as a hunter, he struck a hot trail that led straight to the acrcass of deer hung up ill the brush. The girls at once reported their find to the forest ranger, and the three went back to the dead deer and waited for the culprit to come for his venison. He came within a few hours, was promptly arrested and taken before a justice, and pleaded guilty, receiving fine of $50. The venison was dis tributed among needy families of the neighborhood

WILL THIS TOWN BE
 WIPED OFF THE MAP?
(From Thursdays Daily.l

Jerome Junction is fast fading away, and its future has a gloomy foreboding to remain as it is" said an arrival yesterday who believes the crash is on to wipe it off the map of Yavapai. His belief is supported by five families leaving last week, and others are also considering to join in the exodus. The reason is plausi- ble for the sudden stampede, and is due to the well founded belief that the United Verde & Pacific narrow gauge railroad, which leaves the town for Jerome, is to pass away in a short time as a memory only, the applica- ton for authority to discontinue the line now being before the Arizona Corporation commission. Without this source of revenue Jerome Juno ton has no inducement to derive any material support to maintain its wei fare, as at present prevails, and it will also lose its lustre even as whistling post when relieved of its joint railroad interests. Both rail roads at this point employ quite a large number of people, co-ordinating ill handling Q large daily tonnage of freight, as well as caring for heavy passenger traffic In short, there is nothing left to sustain the little line as the broad gauge is entering the city of Jerome from the Clarkda1e side, and the narrow bands of steel are simply mopped up as having filled their usefulness for over a quarter of a century. This road of 20 miles in length has not single station from its source to the terminus, and its going after all is but a matter of ex- pediency as toy of other days that has fulfilled its mission gratefully and helped to build up the thrifty copper mining field which 1t tapped and re- generated the country it served.

THE AEROPLANE CLOSED THIS
 BIG DEAL
(FIom Friday'= Dailyl


 The utility of the airship as a min era1 carrier is responsible for closing of the big asbestos mining deal in the Grand Canyon field, north of Ash Fork, the seller being w. w. Bass and the buyers a Pasadena, California syndicate of manufacturers, the sale being consummated this week, with a heavy first cash payment.
 Arrivals yesterday from Fl Tovar announced this transaction to be a fact, and which also was contingent an aerial navigation figuring as the essential factor in bringing into a productive state for transporting the output. Anita, on the Grand Can yon railway, will be the loading point, the mines being located $ miles west and in the gorge of the canyon at a depth below the rim of approximately 2000 feet No other tenable way is open to handle the product of the mines, the location being inaccessible to any class of vehicles, while mar row trail only is available The load ing point for the airship has been se- lected, is convenient to the mines, and a machine with a carrying capacity of about one ton will make the trip with the raw product in less than 20 minutes, the purpose being to load a car every other day.
 The asbestos fibre in its raw state from the Bass mines IS stated to be of the highest grade known, and when chemically treated by a secret process will be interwoven with silk, the finished article giving the highest class fabric possible The novelty of utilizing the airpline in this unique undertaking is naturally expressing the attention of everybody in the above country, for the novelty of the manner in which freighting is to be conducted, and the economy of hand ling the output so readily. Also will this venture be the first known in mining annals any where in the world where the airship IS to solve the min ing problem and with no other avenue of transportation being feasible The representative of the buying syndi- cate has been on the ground, and after making the first payment to Mr. Bass openly stated what method was decided upon in handling the product and as above outlined.

GIGANTIC BLAST CUTOFF

Supervisor C. C. Stukey has re- turned from the Jerome end of the cutoff highway to Prescott, as con- struction continues his account of one incident of his interesting observa- tions was attended with a spectacular demonstration seldom witnessed. It was the setting off by electricity of one blast along the full mile of the grade, in which the upheaval was so terrific as to shake the country for miles around. Immediately afterward the huge steam shovels were brought into action and the moving of ar inn mense tonnage of dirt and boulders onto the grade followed. Supervisor Stukey also inspected the completed road work, which he pronounces as masterful in methods employed by the Miller Construction Co.,, which has the contract, as well as from a scenic standpoint will this route amaze the country i'll its wonderful and fascinating panorama in all di- rections from the summit of the lofty range. Even now it is well worth the time and expense of anyone to go to Jerome to witness this gigantic and perfect manner in which a mag nihcent highway is being built" he stated. The road at this unit is being cut out of the side of the steep moun- tain and below in some places the bottom of the canyon is over 300 feet.
 The state is now active in Lone some valley in building toward the county road north of Granite Dells, and has big tractor working out of the Coyote Rancho.
 It is also reported that the state will construct long bridge over Granite creek, near and north of Fort Whipplc, which will relieve the future of any further trouble during high water III that stream.

 JEROME, Jan. 12.-Coup1aint o: excessive charges for hauling scrap ron was entered with the corpora tion commission here today by the United Verde Extension against the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Rail way company. The commission took the matter under advisement.
 Abandonment Sought.
 A representative of the United Verde & Pacific Railway company ap- peared before the Arizona Corpora uon commission sitting here today, in an effort to secure permission of that road to discontinue service on It's narrow gauge line between here and Jerome Junction.
 The company desires to cease oper- ation some time after March l, at which time the railroads are to be returned to private ownership by the government The commission indi- cated some desire to keep the road operating until the new Jerome-Pres- colt shortline automobile road is ready for use, but reserved its de- cision until later date.
 Traffic over this railway now is at he rate of between $ and 100 day. The Verde valley is now served by standard railway from Cedar Glade to Clarkdale and thence to Jerome, and, it is contended, this makes un- lecessary the older, smaller road.

THIEL CASE GETS FINAL ACTION
 AT PHOENIX
lFrom days Daily

tFrom Wedne>day'S Dallv
 The celebrated Thiel detective case for collection of fees of $7,672.34 against Yavapai county for services rendered in ferreting out bootleggers has been knocked in the head by the Supreme court, and the issue is now a closed one. The decision handed down at Phoenix characterizes the action of the former county attorney of Yavapai county in effecting a com promise without the knowledge or consent of the board of supervisors of Yavapai county as ''an unwarranted and unlawful usurpation of authority, '' and upholds Superior Judge Sweeney in his order setting aside judgment for S7,672,34 in favor of the Thiel De tlctive Service company.
 The supervisors rejected this claim and the matter went into the courts, a compromise having been previously effected by a cut of $l000, or for S6,672.34, when judgment was given for that sum.
 It was then that the board of su- pervisors woke up and through their chairman, J. A. Jaeger, filed a motion asking the court to set aside the judgment on the grounds that the county attorney had no authority or power under the law to enter into the stipulation without the knowledge or acquiescence of the supervisors, and on June 28 of last year the order was vacated
 The detective agency, 1t seems, was employed by Sheriff Young to run down violations of the liquor law, anc for alleged services rendered filed its claim for the period beginning on January 20 to December 30 of 1917.
 In the opinion of the Supreme court, written by Judge Baker and concurred in by Justices Cunningham and Ross, the civil code of Arizona in defining the powers of the county attorney does not include any author ity of the county attorney to com promise suits without the consent of the board of supervisors, who alone are empowered to direct and control all prosecution and defense.
 If we were to hold otherwise" 7" says the opinion, we would open wide the doors for wrong doing" and adds that under the circumstances it was the absolute duty of the court in this instance to set aside the judg- ment in favor of the Thiel company.
 Representing the Yavapai board of supervisors before the Supreme court was Attorney Robt. E. Morrison, of Prescott, retained as special counsel. who argued the case only short time ago.
