More than two thousand applicat - ions for concessions, filed by amuse- ment purveyors in all parts of the world, have been received by Direc tor of Concessions Burt of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Many of the concessions will be extremely original and striking. Eight of them will, in the opinion of Mr. Burt, involve an expenditure of more than two million dollars. The concessions will be notable not only for their great size and their splendor but also for the fact that they arc selected with a view to their educational value. The art of presenting cycloramas and panoram as upon an elaborate scale has made tremendous strides in the past few years. Among the more important con cessions already accepted are: "The Grand Canyon of the Colorado," a splendid spectacle to be displayed by li Cnnti T7 r-tlln-nf "TUn PinifYli v.

All the im portant campaigns of Napoleon I will be illustrated by scenes repro duced from the celebrated pictures in the grand gallery of battles at the Versailles art gallery.

WOMAN IS CALLED By Mrs Edith Engle Has Answered the Final Summons (From Tuesday's Daily.) Another beloved pioneer woman resident, Mrs. Edith Engle, has been claimed by the Grim Reaper, her death occurring yesterday after an illness of four months. She had been a resident of this comiru nity for over a quarter of a century, and during that time had won the admir ation and affection of a host of ac quaintances. Devoted as a mother, kind in her sympathies and withall a woman of many virtues her loss will be mourn ed by a large number of friends and many relatives residing here and elsewhere. Her husband, Joseph Engle, preceded her hence a few years ago. Neuphritis was the fatal affliction. The deceased leaves two sons, residing in this city, Eugene and Joseph Engle. Three daughters sur vive, Mrs. Tonj- Peters, of this city, Mrs. E. F. Thorner, of San Antonio, Texas, and Mrs. Mabel Asche, of Globe, the latter being summoned a few days ago and was here when the sad summons rime. The body is at Ruffner's. The fun eral will be announced later. JIMMY CURRAN'S PROBABLE FATE (From Thursday's Dally) Three years ago Jimmy Curran, a miner who' had been about Prescott for several years, mysteriously dis appeared and it was not until three months later that an inquiry con cerning him was made. It would probably not have been made at all but for the fact that he had left a sum of money on deposit in a Pres cott bank. It was suspected that he had met with foul play or that he had died in the mountains. But notwithstanding a diligent search no trace of him was ever found. Curran was last seen at Mayer. The last person with whom he talk ed was a freighter witli whom he arranged to do some hauling. He said that he was going into the Black Canyon country where he had some mining claims which he was going to develop. He said that he would return to Mayer in about ten da3's. The claims of Curran were locat ed across the canyon. After he had made his location, William Faltin who was convicted last week of the murder of Carl Peterson located placer claims in the Canyon across from the claims of Curran. So far as known, no suspicion of any connection with the disappear ance of Curran ever attached to Faltin, nor was he ever thought of in connection when a man who was in that part of the country at that time remembered that Faltin was there. That recollection was given a stimulus when the Yavapai man heard the story of the murder of Peterson. There arc hundreds of prospect holes of varying depths in that vi cinity and it is now suspected that the bones of Curran lie in the bot tom of one of them. ENGINES HAVE GLITTERING LIGHTS In accordance with the referen dum adopted at the recent election requiring railroads throughout the state to equip their locomotives with electric headlights, that duty is be ing performed at present by the S F.

The last batch of these utilities arrived yesterday in the city, consisting of twelve dy namos, and-in about two weeks all of the twenty-six engines used on this road will be legally equipped. Each headlight will have a reflector attachment capable of generating 5,- 000 candlepower. The expense in curred in complying with the new law will reach to over $3,000 on this line alone. RYAN GIVES BOND. CHICAGO. Feb. 1. A $70,000 bond for Frank M. Ryan, president of the Iron Workers, was approved today by Federal Judge Baker. Ryan was recently sentenced to seven years in the dynamite cases. ID EXCITEMENT IS CAUSED W SESSION Legislature Getting To Be an Old Story At Phoenix PHOENIX, Feb. 3. There was not the usual crowd and excitement at the capitol this morning when the third session of the first state legislature was convened although the galleries were fairly well filled. It was all too apparently a cut-and dried affair and Phoenix and her citizens are getting used to legisla tures. Then too there was lacking the usual influx of outside Phoenix men of prominence who in previous years have found it convenient to be on hand when legislatures met. The members made calls at nearly all of the state offices, which to the every day visitor it could be seen, were all "fixed up" evidently for the purpose of making a good impression on the lawmakers. About ten o'clock the first steps in the program of begin ning the session were under way. -Tonight about the only specially interested ones in the comings and goings of the solons are the numer ous attaches who seek enlightenment from all imaginable quarters as to just what part if any they will be called to play in the game of law making for the commonwealth of Arizona. SUGGESTS FREE COPIES OF ALL NEW LAWS (Prom Sunday's Daily.) Secretary of State Sidney P. Os- born has rendered his annual report of the transactions of his office to Governor Hunt. One feature of it is that there are certain rccommen dations in the report that will if put into practice cut down the revenue of the state. The first legislature passed certain laws regarding the sale of certified copies of the acts of the legislature. Last year this section of the work of the office alone yielded several thousands of dollars to the state treasury. For a certified copy the secretary of state is authorized to charge twenty cents per folio. The session laws of the state arc not published until at least sixty days following the adjournment of the legislature. In the meantime there is a demand for accurate copies of certain laws, which must be paid for at the twenty cent per folio rate. In one case last year one firm had to paj- $60 and over for a copy of a certain law. It is the opinion of the secretary that the state should print many of the laws as soon as they are passed in the shape of pamphlets and let them be gotten by interested parties for the askjiig. This would decrease the revenue in the office on the same basis as that of last year, $2000, while the increase in expend iture would come from the printing of the bills. SUPPLANT HORSE WITH AUTO ON MAIL RUN (From Sunday's Daily.) "The passing of the horse" was never more aptly illustrated than by the statement made yesterday that henceforth the auto will hold sway between Dewey and Camp Verde, the Davis Brothers of Kingman, in troducing these vehicles on the mail run and also for passenger service. i.t ... . iney are expectcu to arrive m Prescott tomorrw with their two cars, and to start ijp the service im mediately. They have been awarded the mail contract between those two places and intervening postoffices, and in addition to carrying the mail will engaged in the express business. One car is to be used exclusively for passenger traffic and round trips will be made daily connecting with all trains at Dewey. This will be the first public auto service to be in troduced in this section. MINING DEALS. (From Sunday's Daily.)
