An Early Hassayamper.
Major Doran was born at ;cw,
FhiladLlphia, Ohio, on July 11, 1S40.
In 1860 he left that State and came
to Colorado, when the western spirit
seized him and with others 'he passed
through Tucson in the latter part of
tl at year for California to pursue his
vocation as a millwright, carpenter
and bridge builder. When the Civil
War broke out, he was one of the
first to enlist at the Statc capital ana
was assigned to Co. F, California in-, crs arc being picked up at such a rapid

commission, owing to his familiarity
with the country, which covered what
then was known as the Butterficld
stage route, passing through Yuma,
Maricopa Wells and other old land
marks. Later this command was
shifted to Texas, to return to Tucson
two years afterward. So it may be
observed that Major Doran in reality
was a pioneer, and his recital of the
experiences of that faraway day was
most thrilling and interesting. lie
was honorably discharged at Tucson,
when he returned to California to en
gage in business as a merchant and
to establish saw mills at different
points near mining town. In 1868 he
resumed his trade, and was given
large contracts in bridge construction
for the Central Pacific, then entering
the Statc.
The Lure of Arizona.
Major Doran retraced his steps to
Arizona in 1876, when he slated lie
"hit the trail" to go into camp for
good. He located at the small camp
of the Silver King, the most famous
of mine in the West in its day, which
was situated in Pinal county. He
was appointed mine superintendent
as well as construction engineer of
the mill to be built, and in this dual
capacity the wonderful record made
by this silver producer still lives ana
is kindly cherished for the capability
of this man. Oilier Arizona mine
fields attracted the attention of this
practical operator, and he became in
terested in nearly every section in
the years which followed. His judg
ment was weighed with high regard
by capital and his success was well
known.
In Political Life.
There arc very few Arizonaus who
attained the prominence in official life
which the deceased enjoyed. In 1882
he was elected sheriff of Pinal count'
2nd made a commendable record.
Succeeding years found him a mem
ber of the territorial board of equali
zation for two terms under Gocrnor
Wolfcy's administration. In 1894 he
was elected couucilinan-iit-largc 5 11
Arizona to the upner branch of 1 tic
legislature, a distinction which he
won through his splendid name as a
constructive statesman and which was
iclievcd of any sectional considera
tion whatever. He graced the legisi
lature later in again being elected to
the tipper house, and for two terms he
was in the assembly. In this latter
duty he was the first lawmaker to
urge the creation of the board of con
trol, and this official body is still re
tained under statehood by another
name. 1'or sccn years he was a
lieutenant colonel of the National
Guard of rizoiia. and this military
bod owes its fine organization to his
foresight, hich was intended to be
for defensive purposes solely. The
deceased also was a commissioner
from rizona to the Chicago World's
l air, as well did he fill olhcr offices,
ckclie and appointive.

SHIPS ESSENTIAL SAYS
U. S. FUEL ADMINISTRATION
PHOEXIX, Feb. 14 National Fuel
Administrator Garfield considers the
national shipbuilding campaign some
thing that touches very inlunatcly
:.nd materially upon his own sphere
of activities. So he has wired the
Statc Council of Defense urging that
Arizona do her part in furnishing the
necessary workmen.
"Ships cannot move without coal,"
sr.ys the fuel administrator, "but
neither can coal move without ships.
We must have ships to carry freight
away from the seaboard terminals,
or coal will be tangled up again, as it
was three weeks ago, tangled up with
cut-bound freight and unable to
reach the ships waiting for" fuel, to
enable them to carry out cargoes from
the congested tracks. With plent
of ships to keep the terminals clear,
we shall be able to move coal to the
places where it is most needed, and
we shall have coal enough to move
In fact, the faster wc move it, the
faster wc can produce it, for the mines
load directly from tipple to car. When
there are no cars, they halt their out
put, for bituminous coal cannot be
stored at the mines.
"Every man, woman and child in
the United States has at least a
tench of war hardships through in
terruption f the coal supply. Wc
all know now that more hardships
will recur unless wc remedy the
mmlainciital conditions. That means
thai we arc all interested in building
ships. Do ccrything you can to

CHICAGO, Feb. 14. To maintair.
the American army in France 100
pounds of gross tonnage a day must
be landed at French ports for each
man, according to Captain Earl J
Zimmerman, executive officer in the
depot quartermasters' department
here.
"The American people have no
conception of the quantity of sup
plies needed for the men 'over there'.
said Captain Zimmerman, "nor of the
difficulty in getting it to them. For
example it takes 23,000,000 pounds of
frozen beef each month to feed a
million soldiers."
In explaining the food suppply of
the American soldiers abroad and
the manner in which it must be sent,
Captain Zimmerman gave a general
picture of the difficulties of the
ouartcrmastcrs' corps in constantly
maintaining a sufficient quantity of
food.
According to- his statement, the
men iii France arc on a "garrison ra
tion" the same as soldiers at canton
mcnts in this country. This ration
is five pounds a man, each day. This
weight, however, includes eating ut
ensils and container. For a million
men 150,000,000 pounds of rations a
month arc required, amounting to
4,000 carloads.
i. list of the food required for a
million men for 30 days would include
the following:
23,000.000 pounds of frozen beef.
38,500,000 pounds of flour.
6,000,000 pounds of bacon.
2,000,000 cans of beef.
1,(KX),000 cans corned beef.
1,000,000 cans corned beef hash.
3,000,000 pounds of sugar.
2,400,000 pounds of coffee.
972.000 pounds of butter.
At all times, Captain Zimmerman
said, a 20-day supply is maintained in
France.
(From Saturday's Daily!
Prcscott will have no Chautauqua
this summer.
fThis decision was reached at a re
cent meeting of the Chautauqua com.
inittcc of the Chamber of Commerce,
one of the representatives of the
Chautauqua organization having been
in the city this week to talk things
over with the committee. In view 01
the fact that the nation is at war and
the financial drain upon the populace
is somewhat heavy, it was decided to
dispense with the big entertainment
event and let the time and financial
resources of the citizens of the coun
ty be turned in other directions.
While it was shown that the
Chautauqua movement was undoubt
edly one which tended toward the
moral uplift of the respective com
munities, it was decided that inas
much as Uncle Sam has something of
a gigantic "uplift" mocincnt on his
hands right now, it was the duty of
his nephews and nieces to conserve
their encrgie for boosting the work of
uplifting tlie kaiser from his present
job of Prussianizing the universe.
In all probability a lyccum course
will be arranged for, a number of
good concerts, lectures, etc, to be
brought here at intervals of several
weeks apart. The lyccum numbers
will be furnished by the same com
pany which provided the Chautauqua
attractions 111 seasons past.
2,600 PERSONS
SIGNED ROAD PETITION
(From Friday's Daily)
That the citizens and taxpayers of
Yavapai county want the short line
road built to Jerome is a foregone
conclusion.
This matter has been hanging fin
for some time, but it was left to the
present administration of the Yavapai
County Chamber of Commerce to de
finitely ascertain the number of tax
pavers and citizens who desired this
road biiilt, and the amount of taxable
wealth they represent. To that end.
petitions were recentlv circulated
throughout the county, with the re-
Milt that 2,6'K) taxpayers signed this
petition, representing $86,001,000
worth of the taxable wealth of the
county. In other words, four-fifths
of the entire taxable wealth of Yava
pai county stands behind the project.
The original petition will be filed
with the board of supervisors, while
tv. exact copy of the same will be sent
lc the Commission of Statc Institu
tions. In the Verde district, partic
ularly was great interest shown and
the petitions from that district were

Any person who prescribes for ve

HEALTHY MINING OUT
LOOK AS ZINC CLIMBS
(From Saturday's Daily.)
Standardizing of zinc at 12 cents a
pound, this action having been offt-
cially proclaimed by the government,
isv proving a boon to mining in this
section, and is receiving expressions
' of commendation by many who arc
operating this character of a mineral
property, as well arc those deeply in-

Co.. situated in Copper Creek dis-
trict, is materially affected, and this
properly is assured tor the itiiurc to
high-class rating in consc-
basis than has existed for many years.
A new compressor is to be installed
at once, while generally speaking
regeneration of affairs will follow at
once, by which heavy production will
be given, and on a basis by winch
security will be afforded in carrying
out large development. "This con
sideration toward zinc is deserved
and of course welcomed, mcaning as
it does that our interest arc being
considered as justly as arc othct
minerals, which are climbing up to
their proper rating," said Mr. Gilles
pie ycstcrday.
The Copper King, a holding of thc
Hillside, since being revived a short
time ago, has undergone thorough
evnloration and now emerges into
rating of a high class proposition. Its
raw product with zinc values csiau-
lished on a nermancnt basis as an
nounccd, will easily average $100 pet
ton. The new wagon road being
built from the works to Hillside, on
thc railroad. 30 miles long, is an ex
pensive undertaking, but the outlay
fully justifies thc expense, and par
ticularly so with this metal at a
standard price. Other mines m that

Patriotism which counts for some

American woman doing her bit foi
the boys at the front. There is si
lence in thc large room, except for
the burring of- thc machine as thc
work goes ahead, tempered with a
spirit of faith and affection for the
great cause. There is heard nothing
of the revengeful or thc venom of
hatred, but a determined band of the
gentler sex is working with a will and
ardor which reflects a profound .and
beautiful belief for the cause of loyal

for this chapter to be seen in all of
its industry in action, and thc inspira

the- more relieved thc feeling ot

those on the firing line behold the
little band in Prcscott working with
a candor and determination such as

Thc magnificent and generous re

bed socks, 10 pairs; wristlets, I'
pairs; a miscellaneous lot of sponges

rolls, bandages, gauze drains, making
in all several thousand articles of use
in health or affliction. It was astound

viceable and substantial goods and
wares, and in the making, every ar

tender hands that permitted nothing
of the shoddy to be used. Ycstcrdaj
