IN CUNNINGHAM
PASS ACTIVE
Failure to Do Assessment Work
Reaps Its Penalties In the
Northern Portion of the
Territory.

PRESCOTT, May 6.-Recent ad
vices from the Cunningham Pass dis
trict in the new copper country trib
utary to then Arizona & California
railroad, indicate that there is great
activity in locating mining claims
there and that a number were
Jumped" last month, upon which
the location work had been not fully
done. Discovery shafts are being
measured by prospectors and mining
men, a number of whom recently ar
rived there from Nevada, and all
claims of promise upon which the 10
Gators have not fully complied with
the provision of the mining laws re
quiring the sinking of a discovery
shaft are being appropriated by them
Litigation over the disputed claims is
certain to follow Every prospectoI
who discovers a ledge now of any
promise complies fully with the law
requiring location work, some declar
ing that they viii defend their rights
at the risk of their lives if any one
attempts to locate over them.
Section of the act concerning
mines of the revised statutes of Arr
IONA reads:
Before filing such location certifi
cate with the county recorder OF the
proper county, the discoverer shall
locate his claim by. First, sinking a
discovery shaft upon the premises Sc
claimed to a depth of at least ten
feet from the lowest part of the rim
of such shaft at the surface, and
deeper If necessary, until there is
shown by such work lode deposit OF
mineral in place.
Second, by posting at the point OF
discovery on the surface, a plain sign
or notice substantially conforming to
the location certificate. Third, by
marking such claim or premises on
the ground so that its boundaries
can be readily traced"
Under the head of equivalent dis
coyery work section 5 of the same
act reads ANY open cut, crosscut,
adit or tunnel, which shall be made,
as above provided for. as part OF
the location of a mining claim, and
which shall be equal in amount OF
work to a shaft ten feet deep and
four feet wide by six feet long, and
which shall cut lode or mineral in
place at the depth of ten feet from
the surface, shall be equivalent, as .
discovery work, to shaft sunk from
the surface"
The Cunningham Pass Copper
company, which recently purchased
the Billiard group of mines in the
pass, is sinking a vertical w'Hking
shaft in the hanging wall Of the Bul'
lard ledge. The shaft is a fOIble'
compartment and the ore deEt sits
proven in other shafts and G":fts will
be tapped by crosscuts from the new
working shaft.
Prospectors who have returned
here recently from that region say
that a large pumber of prosDectors
are in the Harcuver and Harqua
Hala ranges. This is proven by the
shooting heard through these noun
tains at all hours of the day.

Considerable Liquidation Was
Cause for Prices to Drop
C. & A. Showed Strength,
Selling at $105.
(By Frank ]. Graft

The opening Of today's market was
strong and firm, and looked as though
we might see some higher prices at
the close. This, however, was mt
the case, for toward the close there
seemed to be considerable liquIcatioA,
which soon caused lower prices.
Calumet & Arizona showed strength
selling at sos. but at the close show
ed loss of one point. For the nTunTh
of April the Calumet & Arizona pro-
duced 2,092 tons of copper.
Black Mountain showed small de-
cline, closing at ga bid and sales
made at 4 rs. North Butte, Butte
Coalition, Amalgamated and Copper
Range all showed a slight decline.
Shattuck Arizona was one of the
firmest of the curb stocks, selling as
hign as IL IA at the close. Superior
& Pittsburg showed a fractional &c
cline at the close. DEM Arizona is
in good demand at 5-S.
The entire list is strong and | do
not expect to see any material decline
at the close of the week, but rather
think the weeks closing would be
stronger if anything.

In That Field.

c. X. Robinson in a recent inter
view in the east says:
Globe is one of the oldest camps

ular producers. There is smelter
near the city of Globe. The ores OF
the camp are gold, silver, copper in
greatest quantity, with occasional
associated ores. Schist, porphyry.
granite, diorite is the general coun.
try rock of the entire camp. The
surface values are in gold and silver,
very often the values enabling the
prospect to be developed without a
dollar of investment, but of course
this is on a small scale. From 80
feet on down the predominant values
change to copper. There is plenty
of water throughout the section, and
wood or fuel; but there is scarcity
of material for mine umbers. The
section is being rather generally ex
plotted at this time. with some new
blood, and in many cases the deyel

WE'LL DOME. LUSITANIA!

The last westward run Of the Lusitana was
tantalizing in its promise. HITHERTO, in order 10
keep well away from fog and ice, she has taken
the southern course. On this voyage she fol-
lowed the northern saving 10 miles In distance
and more than four hours in time. A second
thing in her favor was the breaking Of her own
record for speed. In the reports of the perform
anee there is an apparent though probably not
a real, discrepancy.
The Lusitania is said to have covered $50
miles between one MONDAY observation and the
next, and her average is put at 25.66 knots. To
all steamships coming westward the days length
is much more than twenty-four hours II the
Lusitania crossed enough meridians of long-
tude to make the time interval twenty-five hours
exactly, her speed must have been fully twenty
six knots. If she covered more than fifteen de-
gress something more than twenty-five hours
would have elapsed, and her mean speed might
have been no greater than it was reported to be-
But to at the rate of 25.66 knots sug-
gests splendid possibilities Had it been main
tained for the whole 2.7S0 miles between Daunt's
Rock just outside Of Queenstown Harbor, and
the Sandy Hook Lightship, the voyage would
have required only a few minutes more than
four days and twelve hours. 1t was 30 Sun
Gay morning in New York when the LIlsitania
passed Daunt's Rock Four days and a half
would have brought her to the Hghtship few
minutes before sunset 6:J3 p. NJ on Thurs
day. Had she arrived at that time, and had her
captain signifed his wish to come up immedi-
atey, it cannot he doubted that the quarantine
and customs officials would have done everything
in their power to facilitate the debarkation Of
passengers that evening
Perhaps the feat Will be attempted yet The
Lusitania makes round trip once In three
weeks. She is due here again before the au-
tumn equinox, and the serene conditions now
prevailing on the Atlantic may continue long
past that date Later in the season it would
probably not be worth while to try With so
much in her favor. determined effort next
month might result in an unprecedented tri-
umph. Inasmuch as the Mauretana made a
slightly better showing her trial trips than
her sister ship, she may be trusted when in per-
feet condition. TO match any achievement of the

A LOSING SPECULATION.
SponSe.

Tho annoin+ment of seven assistant deputies
from the eligible Civil Service list by the Sher-
iff of Kings County, which has just been an
nounced apparently marks the complete cot
Iapse of the six years fight by the spolis hunt
ers of both parties TO resist the spread of the
merit system over this particular pasture Ever
since these positions were made salaried places
and classified comparatively, in 1902, one Sheriff
after another has struggled against the claSs-
6cation and for nearly q year and half the
present Sheriff and his predecessor have been
getting the work done by men serving Wlthout
salaries, in the hope that the courts Would
finally side with the patronage grabbers against
the Civil Service law.
From 1902 until April 1907. the question Of
classification was involved in a legal tangle,
and under a rule permitting the certifcation of
disputed payrolls pending final determination
when an inferior court had given decision
adverse 10 the commission, the State Civil Ser
vice Commission by stipulation certified the
payroIls of the assistant deputy sherlffs ap-
pointed without competition. When. however,
in April 1907. the cases then pending were
cleared away the commission Informed SherlH
Flaherty that it would no longer certify the
payrolls Instead, however, Of complying with
the law and appointing from the eligible lists,
the Sheriff continued his own men without pay,
and the present Sheriff took the same course,

both We're defeated, and in the Appellate Di-
| vision recently one set Of claimants was de-
feated on appeal and the Civil Service Com

The men who have been made the pawns of

that their appointments were Illegal and that

some of them secured legislation 10 pay them

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARTIES

Mr.. Taft in his Hot Springs speech, replies
efFectually TO Mr.. Bryan's charge that the Re
publican party, having been in power for many
administrations is responsible for the existing
economic evils. Says Mr.. Taft:
If these abuses were always well known. as
now claimed, and the necessity for their radical
and drastic reform clear to al, and espe-
ciay to the Democratic party under its present
leadership, 1t would that of all the possible
agencies for reform the Democratic party is the
one least entitled to any credit. For while the
resolutions of It's platforms in 1885, l900 ana
1904 denounced the abuses of corporate wealth.
they never proposed feasible plans or made the
prominent and chief issue of any campaign the
carrying out OF what have now become known.
and properly known as the Roosevelt policies.
On the contrary, in 1886 the party made the
chief issue a disastrous financial experiment,
which would have retarded the progress of this
country quarter OF a century and sullled It's
financial honor In 1900 the party reiterated
its adherence to this suicidal policy OF repudla-
ton of national and private debts and obliga-
tions and then advanced s the paramount issue
of the campaign, not the trusts. not corporate
wealth and abuses. but rather the reputation
of all international responsibilities growing
out of the Spanish war and the destruction of
what they called the growing cancer OF i'm
perialism.
In 1904 again the Democratic candidate spe-
cifcally took ground against further legislation
to remedy abuses. declaring that the common
law was adequate, while he made the issue OF
the campaign not the growing evils, but "exec-
utive usurpations"
If the party in power is held to strict ac-
countability has the opposition no responsible
ity? Is it not its function, If 1t is to profit by
the others mistakes, to see those mistakes and
call public attention TO them? Must it not try
to do what the other party fails or neglects to
do? If the abuses were known all the time,
why did not the Democratic party, most Of the
period under its present leadership, endeavor to
correct them? If they were great and the rem
edy was simple it doing its duty to the
public by ignoring them? Should it be re-
warded for its Indifference and the Republican
party punished for It's partial failure?
The truth is the abuses were not so obvious
as Mr. Bryan pretends, nor their cure
so simple. The Democratic party had no ideas
for their relief until the Republican party had
addressed itself to the task. The opposition is
party of magnificent hind sight. While 1t
laundering over bimetallism and anti-imperial-
ism and executive usurpations, the Republican
party was addressing itself TO the real prob
| lens of the nation, and now that it has the
abuses nearly cured the opposition comes for
ward and offers the same remedies in larger

TELEGRAPHTgG FROM AJBSBJps

When a captive balloon was employed near
Santiago by the American troops for purposes
Of reconnaissance an old-fashioned telegraph
wire conveyed reports from the aerial observa-
tory to headquarters When an airship which
is not anchored and which has been equipped
with engines and prOpellers is engaged in SINH
lar service, other means of communication must
be employed Hence the question has arisen
whether Hertz wave telegraphy will meet the
requirements of modern military aeronautic
practice.
Major Edgar Russell, of the United States
signal corps, finds that a wire hanging from
dirigible balloon will pick up message from
land station twenty-five or thirty miles away
1t may be assumed that it will prove equally
efficient when the direction of the wireless mes
sage is reversed. Efficiency and safety how
ever are not identical. and the wisdom of try
ing TO send dispatches ut all from arships of
a certain class is still uncertain. The trans
mitting device used in wireless telegraphy emits
sparks when at work, and sparks are sad mis-
chief makers If they gain access to explosive
gas. like that which gives huoyancy 10 bal
