DEAD MAN FOUND ON SUMMIT IF COPPER BASIN; MYSTERY HOLDS
 CIRCUMSTANCES IF HIS DEMISE
(r'rom Thursdays Daily1

Photographic messages addressed to Missouri and Texas points last night were seeking individ- uals who might provide Yavapai county authori- ties with the and circumstances of JUN, whose apparently self-nflicted wounds were fla tai month ago and whose body was found at noon yesterday one mile from the Copper Basin road nine miles south of the city.
 "J. L. N." was found by George Lucas night storekeeper at the Santa Fe, while out hunting deer. Two theories were developed by county of ficials after Lucas had pointed out the spot to Undersheriff J. C. Furst Coroner McLane and a jury.
 1. The deceased, possibly tubercular ex-sol- dier, had taken his own life, the theory supported by the position of small cheap revolver-three cartridges exploded.
 2. ''J L. N." was murdered. This possibility is based on the total absence of anything like money on the body or in the small brief case con- taining odds and ends

PIMA CONFESSES HE
 MAILED BAD LETTER

Mercelina Pima admitted to Judge Sawtelle ill federal court yesterday that he lad mailed a certain letter by means of the facilities provided by Uncle Sam. According to the contention of the United States at torney, the contents of that letter, now in possession of the authorities, were obscene within the meaning of the postal regulations, hence Mar celino violated a strict rule when he mailed it.
 When arraigned Pima pleaded guilty and will be given an appropriate term or fine as provided in such cases.
 The letter was written i'll Spanish, in pencil and in some degree of moral laxness, according to the prosecu- ton. A translation of the incrimi- mating document had been made but not for public consumption.

AN AMAZING ARRAY OF POSSESSIONS

On the body of "J. L. N" found near the summit of the Copper Basin hill with apparently one or more bull let holes through the breast, and in the small black brief case found leaned up against log 20 feet away were the most astounding personal effects a suicide or murder victim ever had in view of the lonely place, the lack of connection between the body and any civilized route or habi- tation and the circumstances that might have surrounded the death
 Nothing that man could eat or wear, nothing he would carry with him on a walk into the forest with self-inflicted death as its object, nothing with which to comfort or buy comforts for the person on a journey between towns-was found on or near the body of the myster- ious stranger. On the other hand, there were many little possessions a man naturally would not carry on a death-trip. These strange facts or surmised facts, lend the only color to the theory of homicide All other in dications seemed to point to suicide.
 Here are some of the petty, almost valueless things found with the body:
 A partly filled-in application for demit to re-affiliate with Twilight lodge No. IA, Columbia, Mo, order of Masons; a numbered switch-key issued by the Missouri Kansas & Texas Railway company; an empty leather check-book cover issued by the National bank of Denison, Texas; a small pocket case of draughtsman's tools and a small tape-measure; an empty bill-fold, the compliments of a St. Louis merchant; cheap watch with a small gold locket attached to l cloth fob, bearing the initials "J. L. NJ" two round "U. S." buttons and two similar insignia bearing the winged helmet device of the U. S.

CLIMATE DRAWS 'EN

That the climate of Prescott is be- coming better known throughout the United States IS shown daily in the number of arrivals in the Mile High city, of those seeking this desired To- cation. There is little doubt but what the biggest advertisement that the climate of Prescott has is in its government hospital, located on the eastern limits of Prescott. When As sistant Director Milliken was in Prescott, he stated that the U. s. public health service hospital at Whipple Barracks had the best stand ing of any hospital in the United States.
 Those arriving recently included: A. L. Harmon of Trinidad, Colo; Mir. and Mrs. J. c. Carter of Lodge Pole, Neb., and Miss Williams Of Banning, Calf.

 Somebody's always cumming up the works. At the very moment when City Manager John H. Robin son is telling the city council he'll get the boys out of the trenches by Christrhas, along come Prof. S.

 While the cadets drill, the sopho- mores, juniors and seniors gather in a room in the high school for pre- paratory target practice. In a few days, Prof. Martin said yesterday, Capt. E. s. Linton, assistant adjutant general of the Arizona national guard and inspector-instructor of the state high school cadet corps, will arrive ir Prescott with a supply of range targets for outdoor work
 Prof. Martin has already prepared a range near the railroad bridge this side of the Fort Whipp1e reservation. and is only awaiting the arrival of the targets and Captain Linton to be- gin work.

DELLS SECTION
 ROAD PRAISED
Work of State Highway Crew Under Superintendent Shep Hiscock Speaks for Itself, As serts Bianconi
(From Tnursdav,s DaiIvl


 The Granite Dells section of the Prescott-Jerome highway is a piece of work of which any county should be proud, in the opinion of John Bianconi, prominent orchardist of the Granite Dells country Bianconi stated this yesterday, and added that the crew which, under the direction of Sheppard Hiscox, put the work through, IS a fine, clean bunch of men. Bianconi said:
 Tt takes us mighty long time to pass compliment; and I dare say the biggest mutt ill the world can teach the smartest man something. As taxpayer of this county I want to compliment Shep Hiscox in the highest terms. Without qualn, I be- lieve him to be the most conscien- tious man in the entire state high way department.
 "The highway force at work on the Granite Dells section of the road, in my opinion" said Bianconi, "is the finest, cleanest bunch of men I have ever seen.
 Naturally, we expect to lose some fruit; but there was not a single piece taken from my orchard during the entire time that the road crew was at work on the Granite Dells section and my private road thrown open to public travel. I cannot speak too highly of Hiscox. From my own observation I know him to be con scientious to the last degree.
 "The road" Bianconi concluded, speaks for itself"
