The annual report of the governor of
Arizona was received al the interior
department the other day. 1t Is a vol
luminous document. with interesting
data and statistics regarding Arizona.
In his annual report to the secretary OF
the interior, the governor renews his
plea for statehood and makes the fol-
lowing recommendations: That. under

Postofflce inspector 10 investigating
Promoters Of Fake Arizona Mines.
A sensation paralleling that produc-
ed by a semi-official proclamation Of
Governor Murphy before he went out
OF Office, dencuncing certain mining
frauds. is promised when Z. l.. Mckee.
United States postohice inspector for
the district of Kansas City, files suit
and information against certain sharks
who are preying on the people Of the
country, especially Missouri and Kan
sas, on the reputation of Arizona
mines. Mckee has been in Arizona
personally investigating various frauds
that have been repoi,sd to the govern
ment and declares that he has infor-
nation that will send several so-called
promoters to the penitentiary. He
refuses to divulge names. however. for
fear that some may attempt to escape
He is responsible for the statement
that residents of Arizona are In nowise
connected with any OF the frauds into
which he is probing.
The charge to be brought against the
manipulators Is the use OF the mails
for the sale of worthless mining
stocks. In each instance they have
used the most extravagant language In
the description Of what they call their
mines, and In most instances the
''mines" are mere prospects with little
or no marketable values. In few
cases the stock companies have not
even taken the trouble of providing
themselves with prospects. It is re
garded as quite likely that the expose
by the government will have an imme
date and unpleasant effect on man,
worthy mining enterprises in that ter
ritory. The ultimate effect win he
what Governor Murphy aimed at In his
proclamation OF denunciation--that ol
inspiring greater confidence In eastern
investors when ,n-y mnu themselve,
protected from sharks.
