Lobbyists Classed as Graftcrs.

The statute on bribery hits the
man who offers the bride and the
one who takes it, but the law relat-
ing to grating is designed to punish
the go-between who asks or receives
any valuable consideration for in
fluencing any public officer to refuse
to do or neglect his duty.
Lobbyists before the state legis-
lature who accept contingent fees
based upon their success in obtain
ing any particular legislation are
classed as grafters.
A new provision in the criminal
code prevents blackmailing titles
and another makes it a gross misde-
meanor to participate IN fraudu-
lent conveyance of real estate or per-
sonal property.
Vagrancy Defined.
Two sweeping changes are made
in the definition of vagrancy. One
of these provides that any person
who solicits business for an attorney
about court house, Jail, morgue or
hospital, shall be deemed guilty of
vagrancy. This is intended to cut
off a large number of runners or So
licitors for attorneys who make
practice Of fighting corporations. An
other provision declares that a COM
mon drunkard shall be person
three times convicted of being drunk
and disorderly, or who neglects his
family by spending his money for
liquors. Such a person is deemed a
vagrant when he enters saloon or
when found drunk. He is also for
hidden to marry.
Prizefghting an Offense.
The statute forbiddins prize fights
is strengthened so that the issuance
of a challenge in the state becomes
an offense against the law. 1t is
provided, however, that six-round
goes may be held by incorporated
athletic clubs if five-ounce gloves are
used Provision is made that the
consent of the mayor of the city in
which the event is to take place and
of the prosecuting attorney for that
county must be obtained.

Hanson Bill Buried i'm Senate.

what was probably an obituary
over the Hanson anti-race track bill
as distinctive measure was said in
the senate, preliminary to referring
Ii to the judiciary committee with
a definite declaration from Chairman
Graves that it will be held up until
the committee has before it the GRIM
lnal code now in course of prepara-
ton by commission appointed by
the governor, which has been at
work for several weeks. The crimi-
nal code will embrace provisions
claimed to be fully as drastic and
of wider scope, making poolselling
and bOOkmaking felonies. Chair
man Graves told the senate, while
the Hanson bill was under considera-
ton, that all criminal bills now be-
fore the committee will be compared
with the provisions of the proposed
code, and unless they had distinctive
features not practical BILE to incorpor-
ate in the code would be unfavorabiy
reported.

lnsanity sPleS Regdaated.

An amendment which will take
from juries in murder cases the
right to pass on plea of insanity.
All the prosecuting attorneys who
have been engaged in the code revis-
ion are favorable to this change, but
they are doubtful as to the extent
that they can go without running
into constitutional objections.
Another important change that
will be made will be to impose a
penalty of not to exceed ten years
Imprisonment in the state periten-
tiary for a hunter who kills, hunt
ing companion. This is intended to
do away with the increasing number
of tragedies in the woods where one
man mistakes" another for a deer
or bear.

Woman Suffrage Passes House.

With the galleries crowded with
women and the house in splendid
spirits, the women's suffrage bill,
calling for the submission of a con-
stitutiOnal amendment, giving the
right of suffrage to women, went
through the house by vote of 70
to IS, or several more than the re-
quired two-thirds vote.
The bill is a house measure and,
while it is said that a number of
members voted for it expecting the
senate to kill the measure, it now
seems very likely that those who
trimmed on the bill will be disap-
pointed. A disinterested canvass of
the senate indicates that the meas
ure will receive at least 80 of the AZ
votes, or two more than two-thirds.

The old January property at Monte
yuma is evidently coming into its own
again, after years of comparative idle
ness assessment work only having
been done for some years. In the
early days of the mining industry in
this part of the state, the January ship
ped rich lead-silver ore, containing some
gold, across the desert to Austin, and
at fair profit. The streaks which
yielded ore rich enough for this seemed
to have become exhausted, however,
and nothing had been done with the
property during late years.
H. l.. Smith and O. X. Whitaker took
lease on the property the first of the
year, and few days ago from 25-foot
shaft shipped five and one-half tons of
ore that gave them gross smelter re-
turns of $62 per ton, and they are pre-
pairing another shipment of the same
kind of ore. Their lease also includes
the old January dump, and samples
taken from this show values ranging
about the $3.50 mark. The dump is now

A notable improvement is being
made in the showing of ore on the
Kansas City Velvet lease on the Al
gae claim, east of the st. Ives. Con-
nections were recently made with the
vein and the incline shaft by tunnel
run in from the east side of the hill.
4 drift has been driven north and
south ON the vein, with a fair produc-
ton or ore that carries from $50 to 800
gold per ton.
At the present time the best showing
is in the north drift, where the pay
streak has opened to about is inches.
The vein has Strengthened up consider
ably at this point, and if it keeps its
dip in winze that will soon be sunk,
further depth will be secured by cross
cutting from the bottom of the Truitt
shaft, at Ill feet. Better values and
a larger quantity of ore are antici-
pated from development in these
workings, as there is a cross-vein be-
tween the shaft and the present breast
of the north drift, which is expected

Development that promises to bring
important results in the way of extend
ing the producing area of the district is
in progress on the Marquette lease on
the Alhambra claim of the Talmag ge
proup. on the east side of Vindieat or
mountain. A very promising streak of
ore is being followed by a drift at a
depth of $50 feet, and there are great
possibilities to be expected from con
tinued development of the ore shoot.
The ore is quite heavy in copper, and
is similar in appearance to the copper
streak being developed on the Victor
vein of the c. 0. ID. estate. The values
across the eighteen inches of ore are
still slightly below pay, averaging
about $2s, but the entire vein is prac-
tically all quartz clear across the
breast of the drift, both walls being
well defined, and the general indica-
tions exceedingly good for large ore
body.
The drift has been advanced on the
ore for 40 feet without break in its
continuity, but it is believed that the

BELLE TO SINK
SHAFT 200 FEET DEEPER

Some slight repairs are now being
made to the shaft of the Baltimore
Belle lease on the Hub property, pre-
paratory to sinking two hundred feet
or further below the present bottom,
which is 400 feet. DR.. Robinson has
satisfied himself that this is the quick
est and surest way to get into the ore
zone, and will proceed to carry out that
idea without further delay.
Very encouraging values have been
found in the big ledge at the 200 and
400-foot levels, but the pay ore seemed
determined to elude all efforts at that
depth. The new plan will now be to
get depth, and then more depth if nee
essary, and fully demonstrate whether
there is any ore in this property, which
is within a stone s the. -ome of the
most famous leases that ever operated

in order to install hoist and com
pressor. Now the shaft is down nearly
230 feet and steadily sinking, five to
six feet daily with the aid of power
drills.
At 163 feet the shaft entered the
ore. At this point a commodious
station has been cut. A drift to the
south was started and continued con-
stantly in ore for 26 feet. AS no
break occurred in this ore body it was
thought this drift was running long
itudinally with the ore, SO crosscuts
to the east and west have been start
ed. The crosscuts are still in ore with
slight increase in value.
Meanwhile the shaft has been stead
lily pushed down through solid body
of ore showing increasing values, and
with every indication of rich ore at
greater depth.
The average value of the ore in the
drift is about SIS with one streak of
20 inches that will 60 $40. The aver
age value of the ore in the shaft at 2lO

Without any interference with the
regular operations of the lease, the new
I5-h. p. hoist and large gallows frame
has been installed on the Grizzly Bear,
to replace the smaller plant that has
been in use up to the present time.
The shaft is now down 500 feet, and
is still in the Clermont vein, passing
through it ON the dip.
An immense body of fine looking
quartz has been opened, carrying low
but encouraging values, and it is the
opinion of Manager Wallace Macgregor
that drifting on the vein at this depth
will develop shoot of pay ore.
When stations are cut for starting
drifts after the shaft has finally reach
/ ed the footwall of the Clermont vein,
sinking will be resumed and pushed
down to 1000 feet to get through the
Jumbo vein, where something of SEN
sational nature may be expected. With
the new equipment, the work can be
rushed at record speed, and the plans
