A boy, apparently very much agi-

"The Beggar's Opera" is now being
presented an New York with the com
pany that was gathered for the Lon
don revival, and settings which also
crossed the ocean. 1t was not that Il
was cheaper to bring the scenery
over. but simply because 1t would
have been impossible to duplicate the
original sets without doing a great
deal Of eighteenth century research
work that would mean going over the

The situation is hardly a parallel
to that of "Her Own Way" the Clyde

set for the London opening because
the scenery had been put on steam

 Justice Morschauser then said he would enter the final papers in the county clerks office of Westchester county, but added that he would order to Putnam county, where the action originally started and where the papers will be filed.
 On the question of where the papers should be filed, one of the attorneys remarked with a smile, '"They might consult the convenience of the large

 Justice Morschauser at this juncture reiterated that the entire proceeding was a public matter, and that he in

Gold Strike Rumored

RESCOTT-Rumors of 8 gold strike in the Crook canyon district caused considerable excitement among a group of local mining men and prospectors this morning, and several Prescott pao- pie are~said to have left hurriedly for that locality today in order to stake out their claims.
 An old prospector, it is reported, re- turned to Crook canyon after an ab- sence of 20 years and opened up an old tunnel. He found the end of the tun- nel caved in, uncoverinS a vein of high grade ore. Investigation showed 1t to be worth around $2200 a ton, it is said.
 No verification of the gold strike rumor could be obtained up to late hour this afternoon, but optimistic ob- servers contend that the bigger the strike, the more effort would be made to keep it quiet.-Courier.

in Maricopa County have recently closed, we, the undersigned business men and property owners of the City of Phoenix, desire to set forth certain facts in conrecti on with the general credit and banking situation in Phoe- nix.
 There has been a heavy drain upon the resources of the world. Our coun- try has suffered but our country is sound financially. In the Salt River Valley our resources are enormous. The failure to sell the large cotton crop grown here, in no way spelli failure for our community. These crops will be sold within a few months and the financial strain be entirely lifted. There would exist a very different sit uation had there been 0 crop failure with no means of recovery.
 This is a time when it is necessary for the citizens of Phoenix and Mari copa County to show their worth and loyalty Our banking institutions are the backbone of our commercial life. The Phoenix banks remaining in busi- ness today are strong financially. The men back of them are millionaireS, such as James $. Douglas, l.. D. Ricketts, c. E. Mills, D. w Wickersham, E. w. Wells, F. D. Trekell the Phelps-Dodge interests, etc. They will not let their banks fail. Our banks have enormous reserves of cash and are without eX- ception members of the Federal Re- serve system and have the strong backing of that affiliation. The Fed eral Reserve system means the back ing of the United States government. This strong banking structure will bear our burden securely; however, it must be realized that any community can embarrass it's financial and credit structure by a widespread withdrawal of funds from the banks. If the citi- zens of Phoenix withdraw their funds, they will not break the banks, but they will cripple our credit and our town.
 We, the undersigned, have every con fidence in our ability to meet this situ- ation We are to a large extent the heaviest depositors in the Phoenix banks. We each of us pledge ourselves to leave our funds in our local banks and to carry on our business in it's normal way, irrespective of what ac- tion minimizing or misguided citizens may take. We condemn the action of any citizen who willfully, selfishly or unthinkingly does any act which would tend to bring down on our community the distress which would certainly re- suit if citizens generally should with draw their funds from the banks.

In perhaps the largest meeting of business elen ever held in the Salt River valley hundreds of citizens from every field of endeavor gathered at the chamber of commerce last evening to emphasize their confidence in the banks of Phoenix and in the business resources of the city and valley in general
 With but the briefest of discussion and with an unanimity of agreement
 which proved that the opinion of those present had been formed after mature reflection, those attending the meeting prepared and carried a resolution
 which declared that the banks of Phoe-
 nix are strong financially; that they are controlled by men of wealth and prominence who are most vitally con- cerned in the welfare of their de positors and of the valley as a whole,
 and that they stand ready to lend every effort to destroying the false fear
 which if it persists, may make an ap- parent catastrophe a real one. As soon as the resolution had been adopted the entire meeting signed it,
 and then, the news spreading about the
 city, hundreds of others added their
 names to the document as pledges of their confidence in the financial situa tion here and their faith in their bank ing institutions. The result was that in a short time the hundreds of names which appear on another page of The Republican were attached to the reso- lution.
 Among the speakers who made brief addresses was Coy. Thomas E. Camp bell who said that he appeared before the meeting as citizeA and property owner as well as a bank depositor to tell those present that the state gov ernment has been in daily and hourly
 touch with the financial and banking situation in Arizona and that it is pre- pared to cooperate with the citizens of
 the state in every possible way to allay feelings of alarm and stabilize condi- tions. lie also laid stress upon the fact that recent legislation has been passed to enable the state to borrow money on delinquent tax accounts. a procedure which will bring in imme-
 diately at least s1,500.000.
 During the afternoon the board oi directors of the chamber of commerce
 met and are cooperating with the
 banks to the fullest extent
 The resolution which was adopted last evening e;d to which practically every citizen of Phoenix who is in- terested in the financial situation added his name, follows in full: Since certain of the smaller banks
