the Garth movement was felt in its
intensity. 1t is built entirely on
made ground. That its outer walls
were subject to intense heat is mani
fest from the flakes Clipped off from
the granite blocks. Prolonged heat
of that character would unquestion-
ably have eaten away the walls and
destroyed the building utterly. As it
stands today it serves as an example
of the earthquakes work on a we'll
constructed building. For its height
it was perhaps the heaviest structure
in San Francisco. The streets in its
vicinity we're torn badly. The upper
portion of the buildings are uninjur
ed. The basement walls are cracked
badly. Rents, some six inches wide,
appear in granite blocks. On three
sides the walls are propped. The
highest parts of the buildings suffered
the least. Across the street or
Market street, the bank building, 6
much taller structure, shows not 6
crack as the result of the earthquake
Although Quilted by fire, the wall:
built OF brick and steel, are com
paratively uninjured.

 Association Meet

Information has been received here by mining men stating that prepar- stions are being made by Secretary C.. H.

From letters received it is given out that mining men from California, sonora, Colorado and Texas will be present. Tucson, Tombst me, Bisbee Morenci, Clifton and Globe will fur nish a large quota rom the southern part of Arizona.
 The meeting will be of unusual i'm portance, owing to the fact that the Association will probably make some accommodations to the legislature regarding the mining laws. Just what changes will be suggested could not be learned,s

Arizona Indians Want
 to be U. s. Citizens
ia.sD

"If the intelligent and educated In- dians of this country had the privilege uf voting it would mean an increased
 majority of over 800 against joint state-
 hood at the coming election" said Mike Burns, an educated and civilized Apache Indian, to Prescott Journal
 Miner representative few days ago.
 "During the past two years 1 have made three or four efforts to become a citizen of the United States, but SO far have not succeeded, and there are at least 500 other men of my race in this country who would make good and in telligent voters if they were endowed with the grand privileges of cItizen- ship.
 "what appers peculiar to us," he sad, "is the fact that although we were born here we are not allowed to vote, while foreigners come here and in few years are admitted to citi- zenship, although they cannot even sign their names in English, and know nothing of the constitution of the United States.
 sIt is a mistake to think that the Indians will not make good citizens if iyen a chance. Arizona is our home and we realize that it is going to be A state some day, and wel want proper in this land of our fore fathers.
 eve are all against joint statehood, and assure you that we take a deep CT interest in the welfare of the country than large percentage of the foreign CTS who come here only to work for a time and with no intention of making this country their homes"
 Mike Burns is a resident of the l Mayer section, where he is engaged in farming, and is not only considered leader of his race, but an enterprising | and industrious man, who has an es- pecial interest in the advancement of his people and the development of the

By an error which was made yester- day in receiving the proceedings of the Republican nvent'on the name of Thos Flsnnigan appeared as the m- inee Tor District Attorney when 1t should hsvy read Edward J.
