4. Robb Tells Of Happenings at Ray
Consolidated Property at Kelvin,
Arlzonn--yilI Erect Plant.

Some interesting facts as to3the con-
dit;ons at Kelvin. i iz.. have been
written by r. Robb OF that place. Rel Rel
atiye to the mining industry he says
Philip Wiseman. former manage Of
the Ray Consolidated company, WAS a
Keivin visitor this Week. He is now
promoting another mining proposition
and it goes without saying that 1t Will,
be launched in a very short whites as
Nh, WiSeman Isl one of the shreWdcstS
and best mining experts in the country
Before coming to Arizona, two years
ago, he was actively engaged in the
mining business in Butte. Mont, where,
he was phenomenally successful. He
and his associate. r. ID. Grant, were the
chief promoters of the ray Consolidate:
ed Copper company, buying the proper
Ety from the old English company which
operated mere without success. They
We're both instrumental in putting the:
Ray company where 1t Is today. The
stock was raised from G to IL In a Very
few months. 1t now ranks among the
largest undeyeloped CONFER mines in
the country. with unlimited possibilf-3
ties. Mr.. Wiseman and Mr. Grant have
sold their interests to Bernard Nj (
Branch, who represents the Guggen-3
helms, for 81 ,10o. 900. This is tho iarg-
est transfer oftninins property that has
occurred In Arizona for some time.
81 "A corps of surveyors at Ray is loustlys
engaged laying out a townsite on the
property of the Arizona hercules COM
3pally$ and is also iresurTeylng and check
ms up claims. marking them pernla-
5nently with cement posts on the CORE
ners. The company is going ahead
rapidly with DEVELOPMENT work at that
place.
WILL BUILD sMELTER
u The Ray company has not made pub
lie the exact location of the new nam
moth mill and smelter. but it Is gener-
ally believed that it VIII be ir,s he i
mel gfborhood of Kelvin. though the
company surveyors have been al work
northeast of here on the p. g. Il. for
the last month. But it is lnerely$
.gnesswork at the present time to say :!
where they will really be built. When
the actual construction starts 1t will
give employment to nearly n thousand
men. The structural Steel for the srnelt-
:er is due to- arrive in November. Work
on the mill Will in all probability be be-
gun at all earlier date.
"A large. handsome motor, standard
gage track car has been received by
the Ray Consolidated company to take \
the place of the old narrOw-E gage car
between this point and Ray. The new
car Is modern, date one with 4
four wide seats with a capacity Of II, q
which will be put In comnisslon as soon
as the new road to Ray is completed.
sSupt. Ernest Stenger was a Phoenix
visitor last week. He was ACCOMPANIMENT
by Philip! Wiseman, his predecessor.
This has been a Very busy week for
the Ray conlpany's warehouse men,
They have been working night and day
With eight extra, men, taking q com

ROSeben, Greatest Splinter.
Will Race No More

NEW YORK, July 1s.-Roseben,
once the champion race horse Of the
American turf, and believed by many
TO have been the champion Splinter OF
the world. will race no more. David
Johnson. his owner. has decided TO ship
him TO the big farm of James w. Wads-
worth in the Genesee valley where he
will pass the remainder of his days
grazing on fine pastures
Roseben broke down hopelessly in
the fore legs after his race at Sleeps
head Bay 10 days ago, when he was
defeated by Nimbus In that race
Johnson and his friends tried TO make
q big winning and wagered large
amounts of money on the famous
champion at odds of about TO l.
One of the sensational big winnings
Of the turf was made on Roseben two
years ago when his owner bet 100000
at even money that he could sprint
seven furlongs in 1:25. He did ii in
1922 and Johnson won his $4,000 and
Roseben established a worlds record
which may never be equaled.
Roseben raced in California last win
ter and won some good races, but his
legs began to trouble him and on
his return to the east il was seen that
his racing days were over

FEW. ASK FOR CUT
OF ASSESSMENTS
Supervisors Spend Half a Day
Hearing Complaints of
Property Holders

Sitting as a board of equalization.
the supervisors spent yesterday after
noon listening to the petitions of
about 40 property holders who desired
their assessments lowered from the
figures named by Assessor Dodge. One
at time the petitioners made his or
her plea. in some cases having to ac-
knowledge that the assessor had not
been very severe in his judgments and
in only a few cases presenting reasons
which induced the board TO alter the
estimates. -
A. e. Harrigan, representing the
Harrigan, weidenmuller & Rosen-
stirn property at the corner of Mont
gomery and Sacramento streets, adj
vanced arguments which led the MEM
bers to cut their assessment from
$4,000 TO $4,000, low rents being his
plea. The assessor acceded to this
change and announced that he would
voluntarily reduce all the holdings in
that block in the same proportion.
The owner of a block of land near
Fort Mason upon which 100 refugee
shacks stand met no success in an en-
deavor to cut down the total appraise-
ment of the 100 from $4,000 to a nomi-
nal IS per cottage.
Foncenan Nyham MADE vain plea
to have his lot in San Bruno road cut
from $500 to $1,000
The most sweeping reductions asked
were those of James Webster of H.
Market street. He wanted one lot,
upon which the assessor had fixed
s49,2f5, to go in at s1,700, and fleet
of small vessels. assessed at S43,500,
he wanted reduced to $4,000. The
board refused to intervene.
II
an assessment roll of 100000 entries
was the most notable feature of the
review. The board adjourned to meet
Friday morning, at which time the
arbitrary assessment list will be taken
up. This consists of the personal
property valuations placed by Dodge
upon the holdings of individuals who
refused or neglected to make returns.
The board may increase, but has no
power to reduce his ratings.

ROWE[L TALKS OF
SITUATION IN S. +.
In Yosemite Chautauqua Adj
dress Fresno Editor Lands
the Graft Prosecution
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


YOSEMITE, July 13.-Editor Chester
Rowell of the Fresno Republican was
the most prominent speaker at today $
session OF the Yosemite Valley Chau-
tauqua, delivering the principal adj
dress of what had been set apart as
Citizenship day"
sRoweil's talk made something of a
sensation. Far from his own home and
from the city whose affairs he was
discussing, he delivered himself of SEN
timents which, as he said in his adj
dress, he might have kept to himself
but for the place and the obvious SYM
patty of his audience.
Francis j. Heney was TO have been
the star of the occasion RoweH spoke
in terms that seemed to appeal strong
~ TO those who listened. He also
praised the original leader of the
graft prosecution, declaring him to be-
with all his faults and virtues. the
only leader who could bring about the
completion of CALIFORNIA; moral up
heavar' and referred to his control OF
San Francisco as "a perfect despotism, "
which, he said. might give place to the
rule OF P. H Mccarthy If the good
citizenship of San Francisco did not
maintain eternal vigilance. He thought
however, that the graft prosecution
might keep Mccarthy from being as
bad as he might otherwise be should
an unkind fate land him in the may
or's chair.
'Heney can not quit at this stage of
the fghtf said Rowell. and he will
not until he has completed the list of
examples which he is piling up in his
prosecution of the grafters. Patrick
Calhoun, the chief figure in the CO.
terie of men who bribed the super
visors through Ruef's method-that is
passing the money to Ruef instead of
directly to the supervisors-must be
sent TO the penitentiary II it is pos
mazes of the higher courts. And
Heney does not intend to rest until
he has. demonstrated the utter weak
ness Of our higher courts as we'll as
the weakness of our jury system
The men who corrupted the super
visors have many admirable and even
lovable qualities. but they stole fran
chises and took the peoples birthright
OF free and honest government from
them and imposed the despotism of
special privilege, and they know in
their own hearts that they are guilty
of a grave crime. Until they are
ready themselves to stand up and de-
clare their own innocence it is not the
office of their friends to deny their
guilt.
I'm San Francisco pretty nearly all
the merchants are too cowardly to do
their duty. There are a few brave
men who stand for the right, despite
business boycotts, and of their own
number they have nominated Byron
Mauzy to run for mayor

COMMUTERS MAKE SHOW
Of PROUD CHAMPIONS
FROM THE SOUTH
WheeIer's Home Run Is All That
Saved Los Angeles From
a ShufOuf

The proud champions from the sunny
south loOmed up like so many corn

the transbay lot when the Commuters
started against them. The best they
got was "a lonesome run and three
scattered hits, and there would not

The main factor in bringing about
the downfall Of the champions was

SUE GAS COMPANY FOR
100000 AS DAMAGES
Children Deprived of Both Par
ents Charge Negligence

Suits for 100000 damages against
the San Francisco gas and electric
company were commenced yesterday
by the three children of Jean Pucheu
and Marie Pucheu, both of whom were
electrocuted November % 1908.
through a loose electric wire coming
In contact with metal clothes line in
the yard of the Pucheu home in Athens
street. The children. whose names are
Eugene, Thomas and Alfred Pucheu,
ask for $4,000 for the death of each

Mrs. Pucheu was hanging out wash
ing when she touched the clothes line
to which a deadly current had been
communicated from the electric wire,
She was unable to disengage herself
and was burned to death in the
presence of q large number of people.
Her husband ran to her rescue, but also
received the full fierce of the electric
current and was killed.
1t is alleged that the gas company

wire been connected with poles in the

never have occurred, it is asserted.
