Assessment Work on
 Arizona Mining Claims

Miners are returning to the city from various mining districts in the county, where they have just com- pleted annual assessment work for different claim owners.
 A number Of the claim owuers were rather late in complying with this i'm pOrtant requirement. and ss a result there was big demand for miners during the last few days of the old year.
 The mining laws require that in order 10 hold claims the owners must do at least Sl0J worth oi assessment work during the year. Many of the claim owners put of their assessment work until almost the last minute and consequently toward the end oi each year there is lively demand fol miners to do work.
 The law requires that the assess. m-nt be done during one year, but should it begin very late and run ovei into the succeeding year before 1t ii completed, it IS still credited 10 tn, claim owner, but does not count fo assessment work in the present year

 If MT. Cameron secures statehood. the Democrat has nothing more to stand out for. he will return to the Demo cratic ranks.
 If Mir. Cameron is unsuc-. cessful, the experiment has been a failure and the Demo- crat, will take a fresh chew of plug-cut. swear pleasantly un- der hls breath and bring his clothes back home.
 In any event, the Democrats | will make their old showing next election in COchise cOun- ty and the territory. Owing to the recent trend of events some of the faithful Reps have whetted their still lettos and deftly cached them up their sleeves, for use in the next election, and we predict stronger Democratic majori- ties than ever throughout Arizona..when the ballot box shall again be opened fol business.

MAY CAUSE STIR
 IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES
Construction of Law on Fee Bills Makes Important Difference With
 Cochise County Officials LITIGATION AND TROUBLE IS IN SIGHT

The fee bills Of the various justices of the peace and constables in all of the precincts of the county, for the last quarter of last year, have been held up for payment until the l5th inst, at which time the board of supervisors will act on the claims. The bills at the present time are m the hands of District Attorney Williams, who has begun yielding the blue pen cil, and they vii! look like thirty cente when they come to be acted upon by the board oi supervisors
 Attorney Williams has decided that the justices and constables have been charging fees that they were not enti- tied to. and he proposes to have these items cut from the claims He main- tains that according to the statutes an officer who makes an arrest without a warrant is not entitled to mileage, but is only entitled to the fee of B % for making the arrest, and should not be allowed the fee of thirty cents per mile actually travelled in making tha; arrest. He also interprets the stat utes to the effect that the justices oi the peace have no legal right to charge the sum of Sl.00 for making out 8 warrant after & man has been arrested by any of the peace officers and brought into court before the warrant was issued or at all after the prisoner had been placed under arrest by tht p ace officer. Williams also will en- deavor to compell the officers VI (

 act number of miles they actual, travelled and give description of tn route travelled

EDITOR PRosPECToR:-
 There is one divorce to every two marriages in Cochise county, accord ing to the court records. as published in your columns recently.
 The reason of the remarkably low percentage is doubtless due to the fact that the White-Winged Messenger of Death intervenes between many of the unhappy c uples and dissoIves the un- heavenly union before they can ac- cumulate enough 10 avail themselves of one of their constitutional rights- recourse to the process of human law.
 In the interests of future happiness and peace on earth; by all that is holy, let the legal fees be reduced.

Women Who Wear Well.

IL Is astonishing how great d change . few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition Of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The mat-on is only dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change. ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesSeS which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding tAat this secret drain is robbing the cheek Of it's l-esLarsS a.d ;he form Of it's fairness.

CAN BEAT CALIFORNIA
Cochise's Picturesque Canyons Would Make Ideal Locations for Esta-
 bIishing Summer Resorts

We wonder why some enterprising people do not avail themselves of the rare opportunity to establish noun tain res6rts in the magnificent can yons amoog the majestic mountains of Cocbise county. where our dust laden and weary population can rest sweetly and profoundly instead of chasing s~ay to California to wosry and struggle and rub all day long with the swaying multitude, only to return to their rooms vastly wearier than when they started out. The balm that b. aces the. lungs, the ozone that brings color to the cheek. the rest that builds up depleted tissue, reIrforces the brain and gets men and women ready to re- new the struggle of life with a zest instead of dragging themselves back from the coast, used up financially, | phys'csily, mentally and oft.tinss morally.

Anniversary in
 American History

Today, January 5th, is a most interesting anniversary in 4 merican history. Ninety four years ago today, after a treaty had been concluded and signed between Great Britain and the United States, and be fore the days of marine cables the British, under General Packendam, disembarked at New Orleans and went after the celebrated Andy" Jack son, and his Tennessee rifle men, with the result that the British commander was kill ed; his successor was killed and his successor was mortal. ly wounded. Seven hundred British soldiers were killed and HOO wounded, while the Americans sustained a loss of just seven killed and fourteen wounded.
 Perhaps the most remark able battle in history in view of the vast discrepancy be- tween the losses of the respec- tive armies.
