adopt in their struggle against night

the nocturnal INVADERS" is the advice
of the governor.
In this statement the governor has
set the whole of the hurley and dark

unless he wants to and l will pardon
any man who resorts to arms to pro-
tect his home" the executive declared.

 three days with J. T. Murphy of Den

 stopping place in a tour devoted to
 mining business. and will leave today
 for Copper Creek in the vicinity of
 Winkelman, where they go to inspect
 various properties. MT. Hamlin i'm
 proved his opportunity to look around
 the valley, of which he has heard a
 great deal, but never before had the opportunity to see. His verdict is that he never saw a finer one anywhere and believes the development of the future will be nothing less than won derful. He has been taken through the orange groves and the beet fields and to the sugar factory at Glendale. and the assurance of an ample water supply makes the future as certain as anything human can be.
 Though MT. Hamlin has no invest ments personally in the valley, he has rather more than a passing interest through the fact that he is interested in the Ray mine, though he has never seen it, and he is also interested in the sugar beet industry in Kansas. along with MT. Davie and MT. Mo Kinnie, who are the chief factors in the Glendale factory. He knows some thing about sugar beet conditions and can only say flattering things about the prospects here.
 Concerning the Ray mine he is so well satisfied with the way things are mOivng up there and with the conduct of operations by his associates that, though he has never seen the property, he will not stop there on this trip. having other mining prospects in mind in connection with MT. Murphy, with whom he has been somewhat associat- ed for a long time. He is confident of the future of Arizona investments, whether they be mining or agricul- tural, so long as they are properly and belongs to that class of men Arizona needs more of, men who have capital to invest and judgment and confidence enough to put it in 
 Mir. Hamlin is well known in Colo radO, both as a business man and in the political world. having figured quite prominently in the republican politics of the state.
