DUKE WILL HUNT I'M
ROCKY MOUNTAINS
WeStminSters VIII Arrive In
America Soon,

LONDON, March 19.-The duke
and duchess of Westminster, who
are devoted to sport, hunting, racing,
driving, autoing, are planning hunt
ing trip>to the Rocky Mountains in
the early summer,
The duke is one Of the wealthiest
men in the world, owning 500 acres
in the very heart of London. The
duchess is the younger daughter of
a famous beauty, Mrs. w. CORVALLIS
West, whose elder daughter married
Prince Henry OF Pless.
Society has whispered lately that
the duke and duchess are not entirely
happy together, but this gossip seems
to be baseless, for the other day the
duke had a slight accident n the
hunting field, and although his wife
had just arrived at Cannes, southern
France, she hurried back by the next
train to nurse him., The house par
ties at their splendid country seat,
Eaton Hall. are made up of gay fash
ionables who go in for every kind of
sport The duke and duchess frankly
say that the heavy intellectual does
not entertain them yet But he is only
29 years old and she is several years
younger. They have son and daugh-
ter.
Recently the duke and his intimates
in their profiigacy of youthful spirits
'burgiaFized' the house of his friend,
Lord Cholmondeleigh The duke was
vastly astonished that the newspapers
thought it worth while to describe
this escapade.

PERFECT BRANCH
MINING CONGRESS

totally inadequate to cover the con
ditions existing in this part of the
country. Heretofore the lode min
ing laws have been literally construed
in order to cover the conditions pre-
vailing, but at the present time the
General Land Office has adopted the
policy of constituting the laws literally
and without due latitude, with the re-
suit that it is becoming almost i'm
possible to secure patents to mining
claims unless they can show a well
defined ledge through the center of
the claim; and it is a well known
fact that very few locations in South
ern Arizona and New Mexico. includ.
ing those in which valuable mines
have been developed, can show any
leads at all. In. fact the deposits are
largely of the replacement type, as in
the iimestones, or of the impregnation
type. as in the porphyrys, and are not
vein deposits
The United States Mining Laws, as
they now stand, were formulated with
out the apparent knowledge on the
part of the formulators that ores oc-
Cured otherwise than in veins, and
were not made to cover the other
forms OF deposits such as occur in
tlis section.
Therefore, as the laws now stand,
the locators of mining claims are
obliged to rely upon a liberal con
struction of the lode mining laws in
order to get legal title to their ground.
This condition should not exist as it
may at any time result in the leopard
izing of titles obtained ia good faith,
and be cause of great expense and
injury to holders who are spending
thousands of dollars for development
purposes.
1t is a fact that under the present
conditions, a man who makes To-
cation upon even the most promising
surface showing is liable to indict-
ment for fraud by the Federal Govern
ment if he cannot show lead in place
or valuable deposits of commercial ore
upon the surface, and as a general
rule, in the copper deposits of South
ern Arizona the values have been
leached out and carried to a consider
able depth below the surface.
Some revision of the mining laws
must be made in order to do away
with this condition. and we believe
that by the concerted action of all the
mining interests of the, United States,
such as could be obtained through
The American Mining Congress, would
be the quickest and surest way OF
accomplishing the required results.
BY the organization OF the Arizona
Sonora Branch or the American Min
ing Congress we are placing our selves
directly in touch with the National or.
ganization and in a position from
which we viii be able to receive the
united support of the mining interests
of all the metals and make our cause
a National movement
Let US all get together and use our
best efforts to this end.

the end that the mining industry,
like that of agriculture, may receive
at the hands of the National Govern
ment that assistance to which, by rea-
son OF its importance, it is entitled.
To assist in bringing about a more
perfect cooperation between the Gov
eminent of the United States and the
development of mining and metallUrgy.
To encourage education in practical
and scientific mining.
To bring mining men into closer re-
lations with one Snother and promote
a spirit of cooperation through social
intercourse and the discussion of mu-
tual interests.
To take steps tending to the revis-
ion of the United States Mining Laws.
To arbitrate freight and smelter
rates as sppertaining to mining inter
ests: and TO work toward the correc-
ton OF any and all injustices that mil
itate against mining interests.

First Visit in Nine Years Proves
Very interesting To
Mining Man,

George Mitchell, one OF the first
mining men to operate in the big
Sonora mining camp, Cananea, has
been spending few days in the city.
Mr.. Mitchell returned from a visit to
the South Cananea property, in which
he is largely interested, yesterday
morning, and left for his present hong
in Los Angeles last evening.
When seen by a Review represen-
tative, Mr.. Mitchell stated that he is
satisfied with conditions at the Cana
nea property. The property has been
shut down since last December, but
in the coming week operations on a
small scale will be commenced. Rob
ert Mitchell, a brother, and Charles
w. McHenry. who accompanied him
to Cananea, have also returned to the
city with him but will leave for Cana
nea again tomorrow.
A drill will BE installed at the
property soon after their return. The
drill be of the "bit'' variety and a
hole of some depth will be sunk on
the property.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that this is his

UNION THREATENS
TIE-UP OF ROADS
Mechanics On Denver & Rio
Grande Say They viii Call
Out All Gould Men,

DENVER, March ia. o. Warten
of st. Louis, representing the ma
chinists employed on all the Gould
railroads, arrived in Denver and con-
ferred with the leaders of the shop
employees of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, who went on strike against
the open shop and new rules recently
established by the company.
1t is the intention Of the unions, de
clare the leaders. ii the Rio Grande
persists in its present attitude, to call
out every uAion employee in the me-
chanical departments of all the Gould
railroads, which include the Missouri
Pacific, st. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern, Texas & Pacific, and the
Wabash.
At the strikers headquarters in this
city 1t is claimed that nearly all of the
men in the sixteen shops on the Den
yer & Rio Grande read in Colorado
and Utah have gone out. The COM
pany officials anticipate little difficulty
in filling the strikers places.
The Post today says: The strike
order Of yesterday is liable to result
in one of the biggest industrial
struggles among the shop men of the
country lor years, ana inc only AOpe
of Intervention now is from George
Gould. The issuance of the order
abrogating the contracts of the men
is generally believed to have come
from the board of directors of the
Rio Grande in New York, and the
methods of handling the men on the
part of the local officials differed so
from former years that the outside
instructions are believed to be be-
hind it all.
Under present conditions, no i'm
mediate effect of the strike can be
noticed, as business is dull and not
much repair work is needed

NO LAWFUL PAY
FOR TRUANT OFFICER
Interviews in Regard TO Situa-
ton In BiSbee- Janitor
Must Watch Students.

In view of the recent decision of
Chief Justice Kent, which was pub
lished in the Review, in which he
stated that he found no law which
authorized the paying of a salary to
a truant officer, there has been some
discussion as to whether or not such
was being done in Bisbea.
In an intervie yesterday after
the I'ishee public schools, stated as
follows:
The school board has been aware
all along of the law regardiRg this,
and in order to have a truant Off
Ger without paying for such service,
have always included such service
in the duties of the janitof.s The
regular work of the janitor is done
before and after school, and during
school hours he is supposed to look
after the ,truants. 1t is also the duty
of the janitor to do all repairing on
the furniture, replace broken win
dows, and attend to the plumbing
when out of order, etc."
When asked as to whether the sal
airy received by the janitor was not
such as would compensate him for
these extra duties, or in other words,
more than that received by the jani-
tors at other schools, Supt. Phil
brook replied. Such is not the
case. No more is paid than if he
were to look only after the janitor
work. The board pays for its jani-
tor services the sum of $3.50 month,
which includes an assistant, who is
paid $50 a month"
DR.. c. L. Edmundson, member
of the Board of Trustees, when ask
ed in regard to the matter, stated
that the board had been aware all
along that the law of the territory
had provided no pay for truant off
GERS, and had always made it GUS
tomary to include such duties among
those of the janitor. DR.. Edmund
son also stated, in regard to the
same rule holding holding that no
pay was provided for election of
officers, that an attempt had once
been made to provide for the pay
ment of such services, and that the
bill had been turned down by the
county superintendent

IMPORTANT
MEETING Of
DIRECTORS
Calumet & Arizona Directorate
viii Meet in Bisbee-To
Consider Dividend and Other
Matters.

Within the next couple OF days an
important meeting of the board OF
directors of the Calumet & Arizona
Mining Company win be held in this
city Tor the purpose of considering
che matter of declaring a quarterly
dividend and attending TO other mat
tiers of importance, it being reported
that a new property which has been
under bond will be taken over.
Chester A. Congdon, G. d'Autremont,
and Captain Thomas Hoatson arrived
in the city som edays ago. Yesterday
morning Charles Briggs, president Of
the Calumet & Arizona Company, &C
companied by his wife and Mrs. Thos.
Cole. arrived in the city from Douglas
ina private car. Thomas f. Cole left
the car at Douglas, going to the prop
erty which is being developed by the
Calumet & Arizona near LeadYille, and
viii probably arrive here today.
The time fer holding the directors
meeting has not been announced yet,
but probably will be Immediately on
Coles arrival here. What action will
be-taken in regard to the declaration
. of a dividend is entirely profile
! NAUTICAL, and is dependent on wheth-
er any new properties are taken over.
The c. & AS condition at the
present time is probably better than
at any time in. its history, and enor
nous profits will be realized on any
material Improvement in the price of
copper. The company has supply
of the metal on hand, and has money
: loaned on good securities at interest,
besides having a large amount in
cash in the treasury. Extensive new
ore bodies were exposed in the mines
during the depression, insuring the
ore supply for many years, and the
smelter at Douglas has been mater
tally enlarged to provide facilities for
the handling of the increased ore sup
ply from its own mines and those Of

CLAYTON GETS
NINETY DAYS
Will Have to Serve His Sen
tence In TombStone-Can
Not Pay Fine,

Harry Clayton was yesterday morn
ing sentenced to serve ninety days in
the county Jail at Tombstone in the
court of Justice Hogan. This set
ties the case, as the motion of de-
PENDANTS counsel to set aside the YER
dict of the jury finding him guilty of
vagrancy was at the same time over
ruled by the court
The sentence imposed upon Clayton
does not permit his paying a fine, he
having to serve his sentence in the
county Jail, there being no other al
tentative.
Clayton was arrested early last
Tuesday morning, and when brought
before the court entered a plea of not
guilty, asking for a jury trial. His
trial took place on Tuesday afternoon,
the jury returning verdict of guilty.
Sentence was postponed until yester-
day morning, although it had been
fixed for the preceding morning, but
counsel for the defendant prayed that
the verdict of the jury be set aside.
This was overruled, as stated above,
and the prisoner was sentenced.
