Important Mining
Decision Rendered

An important decision was rem
dered by Judge Doan which will be
of interest to mining men through
out the Territory, since the findings
will settle a mooted question with
reference to assessment work, when
same is done upon a group.
In the present litigation involving
title to the Leadville Company
group at CORTLAND, it was held
by the court where the work
was done on one claim for the bene-
fit and development of the entire
contiguous group, the same cover
ing the required expenditure for
each claim, the assessment is held
to apply to the entire group. In
the case of the Leadville Company
it was shown that the work done on
the Copper Bug claim held for the
nine adjoining claims of the group.
Colonel H. l.. Pickett, representing
the company, held to this principle
and succeeded in having a legal rul-
ing established in Arizona on the
same, which is the first time the
question has been before an Arizona
court

THE CIGARETTE HABIT

1t has been noticed of late that
quite a number of our school boys
are becoming addicted to the cigar
cite habit. Young boys who should
be devoting their time to study, are
seen about the school house during
recesses and lunch hour smoking
cigarettes and acting in dopey
manner. The same boys are seen
on the streets at all hours of the
night, when they should be home
studying their lessons
AS these boys are all under six
teen years of age, and are subject
to the school laws, it would seem
that their parents would do some
thing in the matter and try to break
up this most harmful habit. The
cigarettes are of the homemade
variety, tobacco rolled in wheat
straw paper, and it is noticeable
that those who persist in smoking
are gradually losing all interest in
their studies, often unable to do the
simplest problems, and in school and
out of school act as if they had lost
all interest in life, which is charac-
teristic of the cigarette smoker.
There is a law on the statute
books which prohibits the sale or
giving away of tobacco to boys
under sixteen years of age. AS
these boys are seen smoking, it is
evident that they are able to get the
tobacco from some one, and it would
be we'll for storekeepers to notify
their clerks not to sell tobacco to
school boys.
If the parents of these boys will
cooperate with the teachers, it will
be very easy to break up this most
pernicious habit and save their boys.

1t is probable that the gallant
fight made by young Spreckles and
his splendid paper, the San Francis
co Call, will be regarded as a tenn
porary defeat.
Mr.. Spreckles was ten years ahead
of his people. The effect of his
good work, however, is enduring,
and while the results may be tenn
poraryily obscured, they will become
manifest later ON.
In Cleveland, O., Tom Johnson
was beaten. He was not beaten by
grafters, but he was beaten by
forces which hold that corporations
have rights over and above the
natura' right of citizens.
In Indianapolis Tom Taggart's
machine was smashed.
Tom poses as Democrat. Such
Democrats as Tom are the principal
cause of many respectable people in
the United States drifting away

The result in New York was re-
buke to the rascality of Tammany.
Brand Whitlock, of Toledo, was re-
elected. He is an advanced radical,
but, at the same time, he respects
the rights of property and the
rights of the individual.
In Louisville a Republican ma
chine was defeated.
The Louisville Republican ma
chine members take to themselves
the JUNCTION of superiority, but they
would not hesitate to rob railroad

Altgether the recent elections
showed some victories for honesty
in municipal government and showed
further that resistent and careful
fighting for reform usually wins in
the end, for the reason thu the
great masses of the American people
are at heart honest and demand
honesty when sufficiently aroused.
Sometimes, however, the work of
arousing them is so laborious as to
be discouraging. Commercial APP

WIN Distribute
Planetary News

DR.. Percival Lowell, of the Lo-
well Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona,
has issued a notice to the observa-
tories of America stating that by an
arrangement with the Centrale
Stelle, at Kiel, Germany, the Lowell
Observatory has been made the tele-
graphic distributing center for plan
etary news in America. This
means that all the Planetary news
cabled to America will be first
received at the Lowell Observatory,
from which it will be distributed to
the observatories of America. Here
tofore Harvard has been the Amer
lean distributing center.
Very few people in Arizona real
ize the high place occupied by the
big astronomical institution in Flag
staff among the scientists of the
world. Each year the Lowell OBJ
servatory adds vastly to the sum
total of astronomical knowledge, and
is an institution of world wide i'm
portance.

TUNGSTEN ORE IN ARIZONA

About twelve miles south by a
little east of Benson, Cochise County,
Arizona, in the Milestone noun
tains, an attempt has been made to
mine wolframite, the tungstate of
manganese and iron, from deposits
that are thought to be unlike any
thing heretofore described in the
literature of ore deposits. The min
eral occurs in a light-colored granite
that is intrusive in mica schist and
limestone, being found near the con-
tact of granite and schist and in a
tongue of granite sixty or seventy
feet long which runs out into the
schist. Most of it is in segregations
in the granite similar to hornblendic
and biotitic segregations in granite
at many other places. The ore ap-
pears to be an original constituent
of the granite. The deposit was
formerly worked and few tons of
ore were taken out and shipped. 1t
is said that as mined and hand
picked the ore averaged 10 per cent.
of tungstic trioxide. No work has
been done here for the last two or
three years, and the deposit is of in
terest mainly because of the peculiar
occurrence of the mineral. A short
paper describing this deposit, by
Frank l.. Hess, appears in Bulletin
$50 of the United States Geological
Survey, a copy of which may be OBJ
tanned on application to the Director,

BUT 1T DIES

Organized graft dies hard. The
CRATER has more lives than a cat,
and when we begin to think he is
done, he and his sort suddenly be-
come strong and capture everything
in sight.
Graft has come into its own again
in San Francisco.
A union labor mayor has been
elected. and may be a good man,
but in San Francisco in the past a
number of rascals seized the cloak
of union labor, and under it robbed
right and left.
A close investigation shows that
instead of being labor men, and
friends of the cause of labor, these
men were check by jowl with or.
ganizations opposed to unionism and
out for stealing franchises and any,
thing else in sight.
Heney was defeated. For foul
years Heney has vigorously, fiercely
and savagely prosecuted San Fran
cisco grafters.
He forced Pat Calhoun, scion OF
the great Calhoun family of South
Carolina, to trial on a graft charge
but he did not succeed in convictine
him He cited Calhoun for another
trial.
In San Francisco the majority OF
the grafters are members of first
families" In robbing the city they
bring to bear the influence of socia
position, their birth and the fact
of being native sons" The best
people of San Francisco are the
worst people.

Several months ago the city coun-
Gil bought seven street lamps and
installed them in front of business
houses in Stafford, with the under
standing that the proprietors of
those houses were to keep them
lighted at night, as long as the
houses mentioned were open. So
far as we have been able to observe,
only one has lived up to the agree
ment. If the others do not intend
to live up to their agreement, we
would suggest that the council dis
pose of the lamps and turn the
money back into the city treasury.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

In case of a burn or scald what
would you do to relieve the pain?
Such injuries are liable to occur in
any family and everyone should be
prepared for them. Chamberlain's
Salve applied on a soft cloth will re-
lieve the pain almost instantly, and
unless the injury is a very severe
one, will cause the parts to heal

-Four OF the twelve Jurors who lis

that much available evidence was not

grave until at last a convulsive shud-

And the final theory of the authori-
ties is this:
That Eastman was in need OF mon
ey; that he probably had been getting
money from Mrs WoOdill for some
time; that he undoubtedly knew some
thing OF her past life. and that he had
been blackmailing her: that he at
tempted to continue this practice and
that the woman rebelled. intimating
that she. too. had found out certain
things about Eastman. and that II

Eastman's dread OF serving a term

wife has said that he told her he would
rather commit suicide than be con-
nned in prison. The pawning OF the
lewelry the authorities set down to
the desire of Eastman to get away.
When cornered the man decided that
his race had been run and that he had
better make an end to II all. AS to
why Mrs. Woodill went to the bunga-
low there was no evidence.
