THE COBRE GRANDE
Green.r1ifCheII Contract Declared fO
 Be Void.

A telegram was received by The Re publican from Arizpe, Sonora, yester- day saying that the Greene Mitchell Treadwell contingent is in possession of the Cobre Grande property under a de- cision by the judge of the first instance resting upon the finding that the or iginal agreement between Greene and Mitchell was void. The telegram is meager and does not state wherein the agreement was found to be void. It is a rather curious circumstance that the two parties to the agreement should profit by the discovery of it's invalidity.
 Greene had been for some time sole owner of the Cobre Grande mine. Last January he entered into contract to sell it to Mitchell under certain condi- tions, in the failure of which it should revert to Greene. When the Cobre Grande company was formed Mitchell transferred this contract to the cor poration and that contract, by the way
 constituted the sole property of the company, since it's ownership of the mine depended entirely upon the meet ing of all the conditions of the contract
 One of the terms of this document was

MACHINES MUST PAY
District Aftorns v Decides That They
 Are Gambling Devices.

1 Replying yesterday in an exhaustive ] opinion to an inquiry by Deputy Sher- 1 if J. E. Boyd regarding the liability county license of $3O month l imposed on all games of chance and gambling devices, District Attorney Flannigan took the view that they arc liable to the license. Quoting from act No. of the amendments of the laws of 1891 providing for territorial license
 upon gambling and gambling devices,
 it is shown that any game of chance
 the result of which is money, checks,
 credit or any other representative of
 value, falls under the law.
 The question whether a machine may
 be game within the meaning of the statute is settled by reference to the case of the, People vs. Warthoff. Mich,
 203- It is also held that it may be in Wharton's criminal law. The nickel in-the-slot machine is believed by the district attorney to be purely a game of chance and nothing else, and offers no opportunity for the exercise of skill. The player plays against the machine which represents it's owner, and the result is determined wholly by chance
 The opinion of the district attorney is applied to not only the larger and very expensive machines in which the winnings are nickeIs, but also to the smaller devices which are played for cigars and drinks. That the nickel-in- the-slot machine is not specifically mentioned in the statutes does not, the, district attorney thinks, exclude it from the operation of the law.
 His opinion, he states, is not applied to those other nickel in the-slot ma chimes, music boxes, weighing ma chimes, etc, into which the element of chance does not enter, but in which the player gets what he expects before hand.
 There are said to be in the town thirteen of the larger machines, while the smaller cigar and drink devices are almost innumerable, found in almost every saloon and cigar store and at many fruit and confectionery stands where cigars are offered for sale.
 The sheriff's office will wait a day or two to give the owners of the nickel in-the-slot machines time to make up their minds whether they will pay the license or give up the devices. It is ! the general impression that within week there will not be q nickel-in-the- l slot machine in operation within this !

CARNIVAL CONVERSATION
Superintendent rfcCOwan on inc
 Approaching FeSfiViiie s.

What are the prospects of a great carnival here this season?" was asked Superintendent McCowan of the In dian school yesterday.
 The prospects are excellent ?, he replied, couldn't be better. The Phoe- nix Indian and Cowboy Carnival will be a series of festivities happy in con- ception and long to be remembered.
 Are the people as enthusiastic and responsive as you could wish D.
 Yes and no. Everybody is really anxious to have the carnival. Every one favcrs the project and looks for ward to it's inauguration with eager expectancy, yet our association ss- sions are not as well attended as one could wish. Those who do attend, however, are representative business men and are in earnest. It has been my good fortune to live in a city that arose en masse to endorse any project

TOO MUCH EXAMINATION.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: No one who has a child attending the public schools can refrain from sym pathizing with the communication pub lisned in yesterdays issue concerning the evil of too frequent examinations of the pupils. It is obvious that the pupils are constantly kept in q state of suspense and uncertainty regarding their standing in classes. There are advantages in having frequent re- views, but it is equally true that nOth- ing is more tiresome or burdensome than the aforesaid.
 The reviews could, in all truthful ness, be done away with entirely and the result might be entirely beneficial if a more thorough way of learning the lessons given would be adhered to on the part of the instructors. Indeed, there is . well founded suspicion in the mind of the writer that the scholars learn their lessons in a sIpshod and imperfect manner. This is the fault, however, of the system now in vogue. There is an evident desire to cover as much ground as possible in a given time, with the result that the pupil is given to understand that he need not learn the text of the studies with eX- actness, but secure the main idea" The result is that some most wonderful ideas are secured, distorted and incor- rect in the extreme. As a result ire quent reviews are necessary and eX- aminations are imperative in order that the faint image of knowledge may not fade entirely from the mind of the pupil.
 The writer is, therefore, laboring un- der the impression that the evil com plained of by the writer in yesterdays Republican has it's foundation in a ne cessity that is anything but cOmpH mentary to school methods that nave arisen in the past twenty years.

DISTRICT COURT
Two More indictments Were Re-
 turned Yesterday.

The grand jury returned indictments yesterday against Charles Cole and w. A. Fulwiler, both charged with obtaining money by false pretenses. One day last summer Cole left $50 with Goldman & Co. Both brothers were present at the time. Cole returned a couple of hours later in the absence of one of them and drew the money. He returned later and collected it from the other brother. Suspicious were aroused shortly afterward and Cole was captured.
 Fulwiler's offense was the negotia- tion of worthless personal checks.
 The Gould water case took up the day in district court and was not finished when court adjourned for the day. The testimony of the defense related to the relations of the plaintiff to the com pany. The origin of water rights was brought out. This is a matter which, though not a secret, is not generally y understood. Water rights came into existence in 1888 and were issued as d dividend on stock. The process of the segregation of the water rights from the stock was described, showing it to be possible for a man who owns stock to be unable to buy water, having dis posed of the rights which had been issued on his stock, while other men who had no voice in the affairs of the company were permitted to patron iZe it.

THE SALVATION ARMY
To Celebrate Their Annual Harvest Festival.

The Salvation Army annual Harvest Thanksgiving Festival is to take place this year from November If to IS. Prep arations are on foot to make the Occa- sion one of signal success in this town. A series of appropriate meetings are being arranged by the local corps, which promise to be of special interest and attraction. We shall be able 70 give more detailed information with respect to the programme in later issue.
 The good work which this organiz;l- ton has carried through, and the sue cess which has attended their dealings with the more outcast and forlorn commands the appreciation of all who sympathize with the moral and spirit uaI needs of the people. No doubt many of these will avail themselves of this opportunity of showing their con- fidence in such praiseworthy efforts.
 The Salvation Army has set itself as a goal of financial result the sum Of maintenance and extension of their many benefcent agencies. All friends and sympathizers who would like to give offerings at this time are earnest ly invited to do so.
 Gifts need not of necessity take the form of monetary contributions. Offer ings in kind and of any kind will be equally acceptable. Nothing to eat, wear, or look at will be refused.

 ''The carnival scheme is not a cor
 poration, trust, nor limited part | nerShip. It is not a scheme by which
 q few men can make money for them selves. None of it's officers receive a
 salary, except the corresponding sec retary, who deVotes his entire time to | the interests of the association On the other hand every resident of the valley will be benefited. This carnival will bring to the city not less than 10, coo strangers. The first thing these strangers will do will be to step into a hotel or restaurant for meal, the next Gin many cases), will be to take 2 drink or three; then they must seek lodging. Every day will find each man spending at least five dollars. The as sociation proposes giving them value for this money
 Thus the immediate benefits to the valley will be the acquisition of $50 GOO to $1G0, ,OG0 of new money, which will lubricate every avenue of trade.
 ''The more substantial benefits will come later. The valley and territory will be talked about; curiosity will be awakened, then the longing to satisfy this curiosity will be paramount. Peo- pie will come and many will remain
  will believe the stories of our climate and resources. All who come will be living witnesses and walking adveT- tisements of the splended opportunities we have to offer.
 With this end in view a board of trade has recently been organizezd. This board is composed of the strong est and most progressive men in the valley. and it will, by means of book lets and other mediums, bring the ter ritory prominently before the people
 But while this kind of advertising is excellent and essential it is not all that can be done. The people must have an urgent and prominent a&trac ton. It is hoped that the proposed carnival season will fill the bill. If something novel and truly character istic and excellent be established, it will prove an irresistible magnet.
 Energy, which is the forerunner of expansion and growth, has been incu- batting in Phoenix for months. It is now ready to hatch. Inertia must De transformed into dynamic force. The time is ripe for casting aside our clothes and springing into vigorous manhood. Why not make progress the slogan ? Expansion is Will Phoenix stand in the way of the chariot of progress, snap i ping and snarling in venomous acri- i mony at it's revolving wheels, or will i she ride in the van of the procession ! the proper place for the queen?
 Every man and women who owns or operates a business, or who owns a | fcot of land; every laboring man; | every official who receives a salary | from the territory or city, and every | person who intends to make Arizona | his, or her, home, should feel personally :. and individually responsible for the i success of the efforts now being made to increase our population and material growth and should prove their alleg- lance and faith by tangible acknowl- ad dgements.''

that whatever might be paid under it and whatever might be expended in the development of the property was to be forfeited to Greene along with the re- version to him of the property.
 In the absence of any further knowl- edge regarding the Arizpe decision it would seem that the stock of the com pany issued, not upon the mine, but upon the contract, had gone glimmer- ing. There is said to be between $40, 0O0 and $50,O00 held by Phoenix parties alone. Other stock is held in Jerome and in Prescott and in many other towns in the territory.
 It is not known which party insti- tuted the action at Arizpe, but it was probably the Greene and Mitchell side. Secretary J. Henry Wood, who left here on Monday night accompanied by his attorneys to answer before a justice of the peace at Bisbee to a charge of grand larceny, said that as soon as the hearing was over he would go on to Arizpe and begin an action to have the rights of himself and President Costello determined. It is hardly possible that he has had time to begin a suit which could have resulted in a decision as early as yesterday. The telegram states that the new company is in possession of everything.
