ORES OF ARIZONA COMMERCIAL
 IMPROVE Eureka Shaft Reveals Picture Values In

GLOBE. Oct. 3l.--The Arizona Com mercial Copper company has resumed operations at the old incline shaft near the east end of the Black Hawk mine.

The ore body al the old shaft has been opened on three levels and for one hundred feet in length, and at water level the ore runs about l2 per cent copper. The new intermediate level should op- en up fine ore.
 The Eureka shaft, nearly 1000 feet west of the old workings, is now down about ffty.fve feet below the GOO level (aetual depth 575 feet). The shaft is still in well mineralizel ledge matter showing some carbonate of copper, and the last day or two aas developed more water, which is very encouraging. The Black Hawk vein carries the best ore on the footwal and 1t is probable that the Eureka shaft has not yet penetrated the veir far enough to develop commercial ore At TOO feet, which should be reached in the Eureka shaft by November IS another level will be opened and erosscut at taat depth will open thu vein in the reinriehed zone.

 |S HIS
EXPECTS REPUBLICAN, TICKET TO ROLL UP ANOTHER ROOSEvELTIAN
 MAJORITY
By Associated Press


 ROCHESTER,, Oct. 3l.-After a weeks campaigning in New York City and state, which ended here tonight with a duplicate of the rousing de, monstrstions inspired everywhere, Taft made this statement to the Asso- ciated Press:
 "The state of New York is the most Republican state in the United States, even more Republican than Pennsylva mia.
 "From every indication through that part of the state above Bronx there will be a majority for the Re publican ticket neariy equal to that of Roosevelt four years ago.
 "The Democratic majority in the city of New York will probably not exceed 10000. This will be overcome by a Republican vote above Bronx with such overwhelming force as to give the Republican ticket in the Em pire State clear majority of from 100000 upwards.
 This roseate view of the candidate reflected each of his ten speeehe' made today.
 In this city tonight his presence in spired n great parade, which he re viewed before going to the convention hall, where he spoke to thousands After the meetings here he left fo Buffalo, where ne will spend sunda, with his wife.

Some were seated before mirrors trying on this creation and that "dream;' others were supercil iously inspecting chapeaux through lorg nettes. while Otbere were Hitting from bonnet to bonnet intent upon looking without buying.

Reclamation Work May Stop

If the case now being tried in the federal court at San Francisco of Chris Hanson, a settler of Lake Kechelus. against the government is decided in favor of the plaintiff all reclamation work throughout the country may be stopped. Han son contends the reclamation act is unconstitutional upon various tech nical grounds, chief among them being that the work done by the reclamation service is not federal but a state function and conse- quently the constitution is violated when the federal government is permitted to conduct irrigation work within the states.
 Recla nation officials believe the act is constitutional and expect a verdict in their favor. Hanson had occupied his land previous to the withdrawal of public lands about Lake Kelchelus for the estab- lishment of a great reservoir to impound the water for the entire Yakima valley. The land was un- surveyed and consequently no entry had been made in the general land office. According to the previous decisions of the land office in sim liar cases, settler was offered full value of his improvements. This he refused and demanded full value for land and timber. The chief value of the land is it's timber. A settler bases his claim upon the assumption that he owned an equivalent of fee simple title. This claim could not be recognized, be- cause the land office and the United States supreme court have decided that settler on unsurveyed land acquires no rights as against the United States. The suit was brought in the United States dis trict court and decision rendered against the claims of the United States. Recla nation officials inn mediately took the case to the cir cult court of appeals and are anx- iously awaiting the news of the de- cision from San Francisco.
