ARIZONA TO HAVE
 NEW CHIEF JUSTICE
CFrom Thursday,s DaIlyl

Edward Kent is to be succeeded as chief justice of the Arizona supreme bench by Afford W. Cooley of Wash ington. D. C., if information which reached Phoenix indirectly from Washington today is to be relied upon.
 Cooley is not yet appointed, but ne lis said to be slated for the Arizona bench, Chief Justice Kent already be ing in possession of the information that he must step down, so it is said.
 When Kent was admitted to prac- tice before the courts of Arizona at the last session of the supreme court there was much speculation as to his motive in the move. To many it looked as if there was more be- hind the move than mere sentiment
 Kent was admitted at what is now believed to be the last session of the Arizona supreme bench. at which ne will sit as one of the presiding mag istrates. The next time he appears it will possibly be as a pleader in ste,d of a judge.
 The source of this information IS the July number of Claw Notes. = which says:
 ''Prcsident Taft has appointed Will liam R. Harr of the District of Co., lumbia assistant attorney general of the United States, to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of Afford W. Cooley. to the Arizona supreme court bench"
 Evidently the Law Notes magazine has made what might be termed a faux paus." or Cooley has not yet been appointed by President Taft to succeed Kent, for as soon as the ap- pointment is made it will become public through transmission to the senate for confirmation. which will probably be the December term of congress.
 An explanation of the statement in Law Notes is tbat the Washington correspondent was confdentially in- formed that Cooley vas to succeed Kent His magazine was not to ap- pear for several weeks, and suppos- ing that President Taft would make the appointmeqt before the magazine appeared sent the information to his journal.
 Cooley is son of Judge Cooley. for several wears one of the learned professors at the Ann Arbor law school. and well known to judges and lawyers as an able writer on law subjects.
 Chief Justice Kent is now absent from Phoenix, leaving here several weeks ago for California for the summer. He is expected to return about September l.
 Republican politicians who were seen today and would express an opinion were inclined to the opinion that Cooley is to succeed Kent.
 Kent has made one of the ablest chief justices Arizona has ever had, and his departure from the bench will probably meet with considerable local pposition.-Phoenix Democrat

MINING ACTIVITY PROM
 ISED FOR THIS FALL
CFrom Thursdays DailyO

trOm thursdays Datly)
 From all parts of California, Ne~ vada, Texas and Colorado come In- quiries from people interested in the mining industry of Arizona in gen eral, and the A. & c country in par tieular, and as soon as the heated season is over we may look for rush of mining men from all parts of the country, and men who come with the intention of remaining and doing business, and not for a float ing class, such as is brought into a district by the news of a rich strike.
 This section has been proven in the last year, and only awaits the prospeetin and development that capital will bring to become one of the big mining eenters of the south, west.
 Many prominent mining men have already become interested in prop critics in this eetion. The Lewis sohrs. who have taken over the old wei known Planet mine. are sui hcient in themselves to attract eapi- tai in this direction; then there are the Scott Mines company. of Salt Lake City. who have become interest cd in the Hearts Desire property; the Daily Mines company, who have l. I, pany, the Yuma Copper company, the Alvin Development company, and many others rwell known in mining circles. The very fact that such well known men have invested here, will bring others with capital into the country. and that means activity, development and prosperity for the \. X C. country for the coming fall and winter.
 The new mill at the Gold Roads mine in Mohave county will be in opeation by September l, with a ea- pacity of 300 tons per day and a complete cyanide plant in connection. The camp will be lighted and all the power furnished by the new electric plant at Kingman.
 There are at present about one hundred men employed at the mine but the force will be doubled when the new mill starts operations. There is enough $2O ore blocked out in the mine to keep it busy for several years.
 The Tom Reed mine, in the same neighborhood is developing into one of the big producers of Arizona Although the ore on the surface was low grade, at depth of only 250 feet ten foot body of very high grade ore was encountered.
 A new mill of 100 ton capacity is being installed as fast as possible, and three compartment shaft is being sunk to supply the mill. The present mill. which is entirely made quate, cleans up about 5000 per day, but with the new mill in operation it is expected that an average of per month will be reached. -Wickenburg Miner.

Reasons For CannibaIism.

According to a writer in a French
review. there are three causes for can
nibalism. It is due either to necessity.
pleasure or fashion. Twenty per cent
Of the cannibals, we learn, eat their
dead to honor them. The ancient III
betans belonged to this class. This is
sentimental anthropophagy. Nineteen
per cent eat their great warriors to
obtain their courage. This is desig-
mated egotistic anthropOphagy. Twen-
ty-nine per cent eat human flesh to
punish their enemies and 80 per cent
because it is the fashion or because
they consider the flesh savory.-1n-

THE HUMAN RACE.
Will Man Simply Shrink of the Face
OF the Earth7

Will Man Simply Shrink of the Face
OF the Earth7
A French statistician who has been
studying the military and other rec
Ords with view Of determining the
height Of men at different periods has
reached some wonderful results
He has not only solved some per-
picking problems in regard to the past
Of the human race, but is also enabled
to calculate it's future and to deter
mine the exact period when man will
disappear from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over near
ly three centuries.
It is found that in 1910 the average
height Of man in Europe was 1.75 me-
ters, or, say, five feet nine inches. In
1890 it was five feet six inches. In
1920 1t was five feet five inches and a
fraction. At the present time it is
five feet three and three-quarter inches.
It is easy to deduce from these figures
a rate of regular and gradual decline
in human stature and then apply this.
working backward and forward, to the
past and to the future. BY this calcu
lation 1t is determined that the stature
Of the first men attained the surpris-
ing average of sixteen feet nine inches.
Truly, there were giants on the earth
in those days. The race had already
deteriorated in the days Of Og, and
Goliath was a quite degenerate off
spring of the giants. Coming down to
later time, we find that at the begin
ming Of our era the average height Of
man was nine feet, and in the time Of
Charlemagne it was eight feet eight
inches. But the most astonishing re-
suit of this scientific study comes from
the application Of the same inexorable
law Of diminution to the future. The
calcula tion shows that by the year
1000 A. D. the stature Of the average
man WILL be reduced to fifteen inches.
At that epoch there will be only lilli-
putians on the earth. And the con-
clusion Of the learned statistician is
Irresistible that 1.-The end Of the world
will certainly arrive, for the inhabit-
ants will have become so small that
they will finally disappear finish by
disappearing" as the French idiom ex-
presses it-"from the terrestrial globe" ."
