ARIZONA HORSES GO SOME IN

(From Saturdays Daily)


 The current number of the Horse Review contains an extended and flat tering article upon the Knight Of Strathmore, a three-year-old colt be- longing to T. E. Pollock of Flagstaff Recently the Knight made a wonder ful showing in a race at Terre Haute, Ind, winning the event of the day for his class. He was driven by Ar lie Frost, his trainer, who is taking the Knight and the speedy little Highfier, another of MT. Pollock g horses, about the eastern tracks. MT. Pollock is also travelling with the horses at present. The Horse Re view article also refers in flattering terms to HighAier. The Knight has never been seen at the territorial fair, but Highfiier made quite a showing there last November. It is probable that both will take part in the races at the next fair.

 held by virtue of its construction, and will be the cause of trouble and delay in coming elections. The at torney generals decision should be of unusual importance to Tucsonans, owing to the fact that a city elec- ton is to be held here next Deeem- Der. According to his statement, of fee seekers cannot lose any time in preparing for the coming event. He does not hesitate to pronounce it in valid, and in his opinion the courts will so hold, should it ever come be- fore them for judicial construction:
 In discussing the new primary election law, with a representative of the Star, MT. Wright said: "The city of Tucson is to have an election next December. The politicians should begin now to study the law referred to, because if its intricate machinery IS not set in motion with in the next few weeks, such city election will be invalidated, provid- ing, of course, that the primary law is upheld"
 MT. Wright freely predicts that the courts will be called upon to decide the validity of the enactment, and there is likely to be something doingg" in political affairs of the territory as a result. '.

THE sHYLoCK MINE
 IS GETTING BUSY
CFrom Thursday,s pailyl


 That the Shylock mine of the Ari- zona Central Copper company is to be operated in the future on more extensive plan than ever before, was practically decided on yesterday when one of the largest orders for machinery to reach a local house was given the Arizona Mine Supply com, pany of this city.
 This order consists of a 50-horse power electric hoist, of the Hendy and BolthOff type, an electric pump, having a capacity of 5000 gallons an hour, a motor to run the blower a Temple electric power drill, to- gether with a large order for lesser utilities required in the operating of the surface machinery.
 Combined with this extensive me ehanical power, contract with the Arizona Power company has been signed for 1OO- horse power. Con- nectiOn from their line to the Shy lock is now being made, and by the time the above machinery is re- ceived the service will be avail able.
 At the mine it is the purpose of Superintendent Cleveland to continue development at all points, and pend ing the receipt of new machinery, the force will be maintained at its present number. It is also his in tentiOn to get the ground adjacent to the mine in shape for housing the machinery and to this end a new hoist house will be at once erected, together with a blacksmith shop, transformer room and other buildings, making one of the best equipped mining camps for working purposes, in this section. It is expected that about thirty days will elapse before this machinery reaches the place. Immediately after it is in position the force will be increased and the mine work prosecuted at all points that can be reached. The main work will be to get to a depth of 1000 feet, and when this is accomplished the work of drifting and crosscut- ting the vein will begin.
 The eonsummatiOn of these plans has been under consideration for some months, and now that they are to be fulfilled the most optimistic spirit prevails, and it is expected that this well known piece of mining ground will soon give an excellent account of itself.
 The determination to place new and improved machinery and to pros ecute extensive mine work is received with favorable comment in mining circles of this section.

Information of unusual interest, and that which is likely to cause unprecedented comment and a stir in political ranks of this territory, was given out yesterday by Attorney Gen eral John B. Wright, in which he pro- nounced the primary election law, enacted by the last territorial as- senbly, as invalid, because of its am biguity and uncertainty, says the Tucson Star.
 The attorney general has been en- gagged during the past few days in preparations of the forms necessitated by the primary election law, and, to use the slang expression, is himself Cup in the air" as to the construe- tion of this work of the legislature. The law, MT. Wright says, is in such a shape as to cause speculation as to the validity of many of its phrases, and is calculated to cause trouble at election time.
 The enactment, it is said, is a re- construction of primary laws of va rious states compelling the presenta- ton of a petition by each nominee, Signed with a prescribed number of names, so many days before the prI- mary.
 According to MT. Wright, it will give grounds of contests of elections

for the benefit of the town, for we obtained an agreement that Prescott should be the headquarters of the Arizona Overland Telephone com pany, and that it should erect a sub
 stantial building for its offices here. I pledge you my word and honor," concluded MT. Hickey, "that I have never discussed the question of price for the franchise either with MT. Mason or Mir. Yiele, or even with my associates"
 Judge Andrews, one of the fran ehise grantees, is equally positive that terms have never been discussed, much less proposed. He said, last night: "About a month ago, Mr. Viele came to my office, and spoke about the possibility of securing the franchise, in ease the company de eided to enter the Prescott field. At that time he spoke as if it was only a remote possibility. I told him that when I was ready to deal with him I would notify him. I was not pre- pared then to talk to him as the company had not been organized and besides I was in correspondence with some Denver parties who had express ed desire to locate in Prescott and engage in the electric business. showed the articles of incorporation, which I had just drafted, to Mir Viele, and after examining them he declared that they suited him, exact ly, and could not be improved upon The question of naming price for the franchise was not mentioned whatever, in our conversation. All on that point that was said was when I informed him when I was ready to deal with him, would let him know. There have been no negotiations whatever since that time.'
 As regards the telephone franchise, Mir. Andrews said: ''In assigning that 4AdHCh4Scs l dcleu TUT Ine pest interests of the city. We obtained little money and some stock, which in time, I think, will prove valuable, but our main object was attained by making the Arizona Overland Tele- phone company agree to make Pres eOtt its headquarters and erect D brick building for its offices. I un- derstand that they have bought the lot and will place upon it a three. story building. What direct benefit we derived from the transfer of the franchise was to compensate for the expense that had already been in cured.
 ''I saw Mir. Mason this morning in reference to the article published in the Journal Miner, and he stated that MT. Viele was the authority for the allegation and that the latter would be wired for further informa ton on the point. If anyone has made a proposition to sell the electric franchise for $1O,OOO, it was done without the knowledge or sanction 1f the grantees ''
 MT Brow could not be seen la night, but his associates are positi n the belief that he was not nan who made the alleged prop' ion.
 As the matter now stands, the ., air will be wrapped in mystery uni hr. Viele comes forward with the much desired information.

WHO TRIED TO SELL
 THAT FRANCHISE?
(FroH Fridays Daily.)

l NrIOh FIludy OdAy-I
 Who was the individual that de- handed s1O,OOO of the Arizona Power company for the electric light fran chise held by Messrs. Andrews, Hiek- ey and Brow, as charged by Manager Mason of that company.
 That is the burning question at the present time.
 NJ. J. Hickey, one of the franchise owners, positively denies that he ever made such a proposition or even eonversed on the subject with anyone connected with the company.
 Attorney H. T. Andrews emphatic ally declares that he has not made any price for the transfer of the franchise.
 MT. Mason affirms the correct ness of the interview with him pub lished in the Journal Miner, and adds: 1T was out at Fossil Creek when MT. Viele, the president of the company, called me up on the phone, and said that s1O,OOO was the price demanded for the franchise. I told him to turn it down. Judge Andrews interviewed me this morning and asked my authority for the statement had made. I informed him that it came from MT. Viele. Accordingly, I sent a long dispatch today to MT. Viele, telling him of the situa- ton, and asking for full partieu- lars.'
 Mir. Hickey is naturally indignant that his name should be connected indirectly with a proposition that, if it be true, looks something like a hold-up. He said:
 ''I only know MT. Mason by sight and have only had a few words of conversation with MT. Viele, but at no time was the franchise men tioned in our talk. I always left the matter with Judge Andrews, to do as he saw fit, and as far as I am personally concerned, I would be will ing to turn over the franchise to any bona fide concern that wished to establish a competing plant in this city, provided, of course, that I was reimbursed for the expense that has been incurred in incorporating, adver- Using. etc. My only object in seek ing the franchise was to benefit the citizens of Prescott, and if the Ari- zOna Power company would sell us the current at a reasonable price, would be the first to put up $1,00O to aid in financing a company to Op- crate another plant in this city. l do not believe that Judge Andrews or Bob Brow made any proposition for the sale of the franchise to any one connected with the Arizona Power company, or they would eer- tainly have consulted me-"
 It will be remembered that the | franchise that was voted by the peo- pie at the January election called for the privilege of a telephone, an electric light and power system, and n cold storage plant The telephone feature was recently disposed of to Arizona Overland Telephone com and discussing that fea- ture, MT. Hickey said: CT received a little stock in the company in con 'ideration for assigning my interest n the franchise to the telephone priv lege, but I do not consider the stock ,f much value at the present time. We did secure something, however,

CALL OFF THE
GAME BECAUSE
OF INJURIES.

The Gary High school football
team will have no game today.
Owing to the crippled condition of
his team Coach Netherton called
off the game with Michigan City
which was to have been played
today. Ever since the LaPorte
game two weeks ago when both
Pryale and Bowlby received in
juries, the team has been in a
weakened condition and it was
probably owing to this that the To-
cal team was defeated by such
decisive score last Saturday. How
ever, Coach Netherton thought his
men would have sufficiently re-
covered to play the game with
Michigan City today, but at the
last moment he called off the game
rather than by hard play add
further injury to the team. The
game may be played on the 20th
of this month as this is an open
date.
Coach Netherton is trying to ar
range a game with the Hammond
high school team for Thanksgiv-
ing day.
