again visiting Lamar, which was
both pleasure and a disappointment,
paradoxical as that statement may
seem. The pleasure was in finding
city of the size and importance of
Lamar, and the disappointment in
missing old familiar land marks and
the faces of many friends of years
ago, many of whom have gone down
the long, long trail, and those who
were left bore the evidence of passing
years, but with n greeting as cordial
and hand clasp as sincere as in
pioneer days.
Frequent fires and the march of
progress had removed the old land
marks, and the business section was
replaced with substantial struct-
ures of brick and stone; the residence
ern homes, and the town Of frame
shacks and ironclads had disappeared
Any old timer who should now re-
visit the town would naturally feel
as though he had never seen the
place, he would miss the clink of
glasses in the saloons, the rattle of
money in the gambling dens, the
boisterous noises of the dance halls,
and the familiar yells of the untamed
cowboy But all old things must
pass.

Home just starting and signs of

The business importance OF Lamar
was revelation, for although it has
two excellent weekly papers and n
daily, none of them carry the adver-
tis.ng they deserve and should have,
stranger that the town is Of small
commercial Importance.
Another thing that seemed out Of
place in city the size Of Lamar was
the absence of paved streets in the
business section. Dust and dirt was
everywhere on the main thorough
fare, and it looked as though the mer-
chants put in considerable time
sweeping it out of the stores and from
the sidewalks. However, that makes
it an ideal location for boot blacks
and barber shop porters.-Garden City

DECORATE INTERIOR
 OF ELKS' THEATRE

Interior decoration of the Elks theater will be completed ill about three weeks, it was announced yes terday by Manager Charles Born. A contract to redecorate the interior of the auditorium was let recently, and work is now going forward daily. The walls are being panelled in a soft gray harmonizing with the dove gray color of the ceiling, and these panels are being stippled upon this background ill four colors. Trim mings in ivory heightened with ap- propriate color are being made. The decorative scroll-work trimming the boxes, orchestra pit and proscenium arch are being similarly heightened, and the decorative scheme is being carried out in the repainting of the central lighting dome of the ceiling.
 This redecoration of the Elks is part of the general program of mak ing the 'Elks building as good as pos sible, which has been carried out little by little for the past year or more. Extensive replacing of ex- tcrior walls and re-roofing was done some time ago. This was followed by encouragement of the Elks club and lodge rooms on the third floor and enlargement of the coal storage capacity of the building.

ACKER CASE DELAYED BY
 SHORT JURY

Two bugbears of capital case prosecutions operated yesterday to prevent the beginning of evidence in the trial of William E. Acker.
 A panel of but 40 men reported out of the 100 who mad been sum moned, and the question of the prejudice against infliction of the death penalty and convicting on cir cumstantial evidence further cut down this meager supply of tales men.
 To draft additional jurors into the service of the court, Judge Sweeney adjourned the case until tomorrow morning, at which time the new panel will send off its good men and true, few, perhaps enough to enable the case to go on.
 But neither party to this, the most important, and possibly the most spectacular murder case in Yavapai county ill two years, would proceed with but 2S tentative jurors in the box. When the 29th man was ex- cused, and the panel was cut below the limit that the law sets-12 men to try, 10 men to be busted without cause by the defense and seven by the state-the proceedings came to a halt with great abruptness.
 Judge Sweeney ordered the 20 ten tative talesmen surrounded with vir- tually the same safeguards that pro- tect them following the beginning of testimony and that go with them un- til they have returned their verdict to the court and received their dis charges.

A num- Der of socials and other good times are already being planned, in addi- ton to great deal of serious effort which is being put forth in behalf ot the strictly devotional side of the leagues activities.

MAY INCREASE
 VERDE MERGER
Directors of Green Monster
 Meet Today to Consider Pro position to Include That Prop erty in the Layman Combine.

It is possible that the Green Monster will be included in large merger of mining properties in the southern end of the Jerome district, according to reports from Jerome. The Layman merger, to be known as the Verde Consolidated Mines & Tunnel company, has been talked of in mining circles for two or three months past. It was reported that Will L. Clark, former assistant gen. eral manager of the United Verde, James M Layman, and State Sena- tor Dave Morgan, were planning some such consolidation of properties in the district. With the merger formed, proposition of Layman's to add the Green Monster to the merger will be considered by stockholders of that company on October 7. Regard ing this matter, the Verde Copper News says:
 The stockholders meeting will be held at the Layman offices It will follow a special meeting of the direc7 tors to be held today. Will L. Clark is to attend MT. Clark is still sthe largest individual stockholder ill the Green Monster. Senator Dave Nor gan, a director, and the man who found thee United Verde Extension ore body, will also be present
 It is regarded as certain that Lay man, Clark and their associates will control enough stock to insure the inclusion of the Green Monster in the new consolidation. When the Mon ster stock went to six or seven dol lars a share they had so much faith in the property that they refused to sell.
 Laynan was the original owner of all the claims in which the Green Monster owns more than a fractional interest. He turned in those claims for stock when the Green Monster company was organized. Under the terms of the deal with the Verde Consolidated, the latter company will have complete ownership, so that there will be no possibility of dispute over any ore, that is discovered.
 In 1c16 geologistS who examined the Copper Chief and Green Mon ster recommended consolidation of the two properties, but the deal fell! through because of the price asked for the Chief These geologists re gently wrote the owners of the Cop per Chief that they were still in favor lof consolidation.
 Layman expects that in GO to 90 days big work will be started by the W. C. M. & T. company under the supervision of ]. T. Matson. Mat sons ability was demonstrated when, in the face of adverse opinions of geologists, he found the continuation of the faulted Copper Chief sulphide lore body.
 With the surface ores of the Equa- tor, and the tonnage now ill sight at the Copper Chief, the Copper Chief cyanide mill will have a run of many years assured. At present the Cop per Chief is shipping regularly to the Humboldt smelter

ANCIENT HISTORY REVEALED IN LAW
 SUIT OVER TITLE

It is d dig back into ancient legal history that Mir and Mrs. William L. Kayser were taking yesterday with their suit for quiet title to their quarter section along the Santa Fe. They have, 1t is alleged discovered that a mortgage for 800, executed to Francis McKendey on March 0, 1895, is clouding their title. John and Mary Ehle owned the land then, and they needed the ninety.
 McKendey is named as one of the two defendants, whose residences are unknown, according to Ellis and Loveridge, counsel for the plaintiffs. William Feldt is the other defendant
 The plaintiffs live in Mohave county, but the land in question is Yavapai county land In their effort to clear up the title, MT. and Mrs. Kayser name the legal representatives and heirs at law of the two defend- ants. Their claim is based on the fact that the mortgage is outlawed by the lapse of the years.

GOOD ORE FRON
 SUPERIOR MINE

Ore averaging $5444 ill gold, silver and copper with copper pre- dominating, according to assays here of samples taken from the whole shaft, has been taken out of the Rat cliffe property known as the Superior Group, which lays between the She1- don and the Senator Samples of the ore were on display yesterday at the office of o. R. Hill, of Burmlster & Hill. They were taken from the shaft at depths varying from 40 to $ feet. The entire shaft, Hill said, is in a big porphyry dike. The sur face indications have as heavy a showing of naturalization as is found where sinking is now going on.
 The Superior group is on the hill between the Sheldon and Senator, near the old Pickerill mill, end-lining the Storm Cloud on the north Sev- eral mining people have recently looked over this property which has begun to attract attention, and have been unusually pleased with the in dications found there The dike = which the Superior group lies is from two to six hundred feet wide, the Superior ground extending 6000 feet on the dike. The property is operated by Hill and his associates under bond and lease from Alex Rat cliffe, and cross-cutting to the east will soon be begun.

 FALL FROM 4 HORSE

Joe Encinas, 40, rancher of the Agua Fria, was killed when falling from his horse near his home Sunday afternoon. Meager details obtainable here yesterday after word of the ac- ciden had reached Prescott, did not make clear whether the unfortunate man had fallen from his horse or had been kicked by the animal. However the accident occurred, Encinas died from a fractured skull.
 The body Of Encinas was brought here yesterday. Burial will be in Humboldt, but no announcement has been made yet of when funeral serv- ices will be held. The deceased is survived by a wife and two or three children.
