Legislature Will Now
Get Down to Work

calls last week the political pot
has commenced to boil in earnest
State Chairman Ward returned
from Arizona Friday and immedi-
issued the call for the Democratic
state convention to meet in the
Denver Auditorium on Wednes-
day, September IA. 1t was orig
inally intended that the conven-
tion should be held September 7,
the earliest possible date under
the law, but it was later learned
the Auditorium could not be Sc
cured tor that date. No other
hall was available large enough
to accommodate LOO people,
hence the change.
Simultaneous with the conven-
tion call came the proclamation
of Governor Shafroth summoning
the legislature to meet in extraor.
dinary session on Tuesday, Au-
gust 8. The call provides for
consideration of the initiative and
referendum. headless ballot. pri-
mary bill. bank guaranty. public
service commission and railway
commission. Accompany ng the
proclamation was a message to
the legislators and the public. in
which the governor stated his
reasons for calling an extra ses-
sion and asked support from peo-
pie in having the proposed meas
ures enacted.
Since the call was issued sew
eral members of the Legislature
who had opposed an extra session
on general principles have an
nounced themselves in favor of at
least a portion of the bills. and
there now seems no doubt that
the more important will receive
the necessary support. While
there are a few Democratic mem
bers who have honestly and con-
sistently opposed many of the
popular direct legislation meas
ures. it is generally conceded that
tor the good of their party they
will act with the majority when
the time comes. There seems to
be absolutely no foundation for
the rumor that an attempt will be
made to adjourn Immediately
after the session convenes. al
though this would have possibly
been the program had the extra
been called for last spring. Now
it appears that faetional differ
ence and personal grievances are
being relegated to the back
ground. to the end that all will
work together tor the public
good. On Wednesday the legis-
lators will again meet with Chair
man Ward. and it is believed a
program will be agreed upon that
will be satisfactory to all. and
greatly facilitate the work of the
session.
Within the next ten days candi-
dates will be spring:ng up from all
sides, but so tar few nomination
lightning rods have been erected,
most of the men having eyes on
state Offices preterring to conduct
their preliminary skirmishing very
quietly.
Secretary of State Pearce is en-
dcavoring to have the board of
capital managers abolished. and
naturally the republican majority
is making an equally strenuous
effort to hang on to the snap,
which is a glaring relic OF old
time Denver machine politics.

GLASGOW AND WESTERN
ENCOUNTERS RICH ORE

ELL, New, Oct. 24-An immense
body of high grade ore rivaling in
richness and extent the early day dis
coveries in the Cherry creek district,
was encountered last Saturday in the
Star mine of the Glasgow & Western
Exploration company.
The news of the big find has created
quite a stir among the staid residents
of the old silver camp, and they are
unanimous in declaring that 1t is the
most important strike that has ever
been made on the Star property.
While driving a winze at point
about 100 feet from the main tun-
mel, the rich strike was uncovered.
At a depth of ten feet the winze cut
large body of what is said to be
las wide as a door"
The recent discovery was made in
the fissures between a lime and shale
formation, and it's actual extent can
not be determined until further de-
velopments are prosecuted in the
winze. Assays have not been taken
from the strike, but it is known that
the ore will carry phenomenal values
in silver, besides showing lead con-
tent.
Arrangements are being made by
the Scotch company to tap the new
ore shoot from a lower level to make
its removal easier, as handling it
from a 1O0-fOOt Wlnze at that end
Of the long tunnel would prove to
be quite an expensive proposition.
The Star company will concentrate
its efforts in the winze until the di-
mensions of the shoot are definitely
known
Before the decline in the value of
the white metal the Star mine at
tanned a prominent position among
the silver producers in Nevada thirty
years ago; That property is said to
have paid diyiuends aggregating So
900, 900 during it's active producing
period
The company is we'll equipped for
work and has a large tonnage of low
grade silver ore opened up in the
different workings. The ore from the
Star mine is being handled in
combination concentrator and mill
ing plant. which has a capacity OF
about seventy tons a day. Several
carloads OF concentrates are shipped
away each month.

laced DESERT SCOUT
RECALLS OLD TIMES
Entered Rich Hill District When
Bowie Knives, Not Mining
Tools, Prevailed

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 24.-Orlando
Allen, one of Arizona's earliest living
pioneers, who was a resident of Pres
colt for many years, is about to leave
for Southern California, there to live
out the remainder of his days. With
the mention of his name a flood Of
memories of those brave days when
we were twenty-one" are. closed, for
Allen came to Arizona first when the
desert had been but sparsely trod by
the feet of white men, and whose clear
air was unsullied by anything but the
/ occasional flying arrow from the bow
OF the willy abOrigine.
Allen is 73 years of age now and the
greater part of his life has been passed
in the far west Crossing the Isthmus
of Panama, along what is now the site
of the Panama railroad he made his
way to California, reaching there in
1859.
In 1868 he acquired the Arizona fever
and decided to cast his lot with the
pioneers who were coming into this
land Of promise. This was at time
when in the more remote districts,
such as Rich Hill, mining was still
going forward with bowie knives in
stead of mining tools.
Allen had been told that the hinges
of hell were a cold storage plant as
compared to the deserts of the south
west, so he equipped himself accord
ingly Four pairs of linen trousers,
peekaboo underwear, coats of the thin
nest texture and a light blanket COM
pleted his outfit for a year
CROSSES HAssAYAMPA
1t was in March, 1863 that he crossed
the Hassayampa river. The camp
that night was a cold proposition, for
two feet of snow fell and the thermom-
eter dropped lower than the horizon.
Allen put on his entire years supply
of clothing, and, wrapping himself in
the blanket, tried to keep from freez-
ing to death.
He prospected for a time about what
is now the Parker country, for copper
was 80 cents a pound then and we'll
worth locating. The Indians gave
good deal of trouble and he had many
narrow escapes. The savages were
possessed of a few guns, but depended
mostly on bows and arrows for their
defensive weapons. Occasionally.
though, they killed a prospector and
took his gun away. Then they were
obliged to kill several other prOspectors
in order to get enough ammunition to
manipulate the firearm.
Phoenix was only a hiatus then, with
a few struggling tepees marking the
site of the splendid city of today. 1t
was before the day Of Governor Good
win, and the future of the young ter
ritory was all before it.
Allen has the distinction of having
been personally acquainted with every
executive head of Arizona since the
territory was created, except Governor
Irwin, who remained only a few
months, and the present Governor
Sloan.
Allen was postmaster at Prescott in
the early '70s, but for many years has
been q resident of Phoenix. Now he is
planning to return to his first love
which lured him toward the setting
sun way back in 1859, and will soon
leave for Southern California.

BLACK BUTTE PREPARES
FOR LARGE OPERATIONS

GOLDFIELD, oct. 24.-Renewed ac-
tivity is now apparent on the Black
Butte at Diamondfeld and the indica-
tons are that this will be increased
within short time. Harry Ginnety
has taken a lease on the main tunnel
level and is raising on ore south of
the old Campbell stope While moth
ing sensational has been opened, the
ore is of good shipping grade and
looks very encouraging for quantity
William Lipps has a lease on the
block formerly worked by Campbell
and associates, and has started work
with a small force of men. He has
a fair showing of medium grade ore
to begin development on.
L. L. Patrick, who recently won
suit for control of the company, says
the company will probably resume
work on the 300-level of the main
shaft, where they win drift and cross
cut for ore shoots.
A lease has also been granted to To-
cal people on the Daisy Fraction,
owned by the Black Butte company,
and work will soon begin there.

CLEVER COMEDIANS ARE
WELCOMED TO ORPHEUM

Los Angeles welcomed back Eugene
and Willie Howard at the Orpheum
theater yesterday. Before the clever
comedians appeared on the stage the
audience began to applaud, for all
knew what to expect of the Howards.
And nobody was disappointed. In
some respects the Howard act is new,
but it is the same old act for the most
part of the last three seasons. Willie
has changed his messenger boy cos
tune for that of porter Eugene is
the handsome young fellow, faultlessly
dressed, as of old. Eugene, by the
way, is a counterpart of A. Byron
Beasley, which is a compliment to
both. New songs and a few new Jokes
delivered in the Howard way make
the act go like wildfre. Willie scored
a big hit yesterday afternoon with his
Yiddish song. Nobody knew what it
all was about but it was funny Just
the same.
1t always is a source of wonder
ment to the writer to contemplate how
small an amount of real worth can
make hit with vaudeville audience
A case in point is Their First Les
son." Il mixture of songs, dances and
nonsense. Thomas Smith, the pro-
fessor, dances in an eccentric manner,
although he does nothing unusual. He
also has a burlesque manner and
makeup. The three peaches" have
fair voices, strange costumes and are
rather pretty. Mr.. Smiths comedy is
hOrseplay. 1t probably is his manner
of delivering speeches soto voce which
"gets over" as the vaudevillains say.
However that may be, the act made
big impression yesterday. And / am
still wondering why!
One is left completely in the dark
to know whether one character in
"Baseballitis" is a fan" a lunatic, a
boarder or a fool. At the close Of the
sketch one gets just a faint idea that
Mr.. Green, star boarder by proxy, is
Steve Becker, baseball fan. The
travesty on the national game pre-
scented by the EVer-Wisdom company
has more or less comedy in it. Mrs.
Bakers remark about "why will you
go out and watch nine men, perfect
strangers to YOU, play a game?" is
so like a woman that it is exception
ally humorous. One advantage the
sketch has-action and plenty Of it.
But there is more "dOmesticity" than
baseball in it, however.
Fred Singer, Yiolinist, has presented
his "The ViOlinmaker of CremOna"
here before. The dramatic portion Of
the sketch is an excuse for Mr. Sing
er's violin playing. 1t seems to the
writer that a little less technique and
a little more melody would be more
acceptable to vaudeville audiences.
But Mr.. Singer is a master of the
violin, hence his offering is artistic
and satisfying to many who desire the
better things in music and not so much
ciap-trap.

tant secretary of the treasury under
Leslie Shaw in Roosevelt's last cabi-
net, is In Los Angeles on his way to

probably leave this evening for Mazat-
land, Mexico, near which the property
is locateu.

paper man and was appointed assis-
tant secretary of the treasury at the
