Const1;tut'ona1 Contention

The Democrats have agreed on 10 and per cent as the basis for the Initiative and Referendum proposi tion, which comes before the Commit tee of the whole in the morning. This will be the big fight of the session.
 Cunniff Quotes Tart.
 PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 3.-Deelar- ing the Arizona Constitutional con vention the first assemblage with the power to carry out the pledge of the National Democratic platform, restricting the use of the injunction power by the courts, NJ. G. Cunniff of Yavapai county, in a sensational speech before the convention, ar raigned the courts for the "usurpa- ton of powers never given them" and withholding from the people the rights guaranteed them by the Fed eral Constitution. The speech was in defense of the proposition intro dueed by him, which was adversely reported by the Judiciary Commit tee.
 Cunniff mad the party committed to the policy of checking such usurpa- tion by the courts. He said it was menace to a Republican form of government, and quoted Taft with reference to the restricting of the use of the injunction in labor dis putes.
 Cunningham, chairman of the Ju- dietary Committee, defended the re- port, declaring the penalty provided was too drastic, and characterized the entire proposition as a retrogres- sion to the Dark Ages.
 The proposition was defeated by a vote of 32 to IS.
 The practical abolition of the grand jury system was decided upon by a vote of g to 12, in the final pas sage of the Lynch proposition, which provides for criminal trials only by indictment and information after a hearing by a magistrate, but the Su- perior Judge has power to call grand jury sessions.

NEW DISCOVERY EXC|TES PIMA
 COUNTY

Pima county is excited over the discovery of ealiehe, or cement, de- posits, carrying gold values, identi- cal in geological formation to that of the famous fields of Sonora, Mex leo, where production is attaining such a high regard as to cause a yer itable mining boom, and the invest ment of an immense amount of cap ital. While in Prescott, yesterday, Van H. Brooks, a former resident, identified with the Reward Consoli- dated Mining company, situated in the Vekol range, near Casa Grande, said that the old Quijota section was being revived, through the diseov- cry of ealiehe, and that a Quinner machine was successfully operating there. So lively is the interest, and so eager are mining men, it is his belief that similar consideration will be extended the Arizona fields, as is evident across the line.
 At another point, about fifteen miles from QuijOta, arrangements are be- ing made to install a battery of Quinners, while at QuijOta it is prob able that in the next few months there will be several more of these machines in operation. The desirable field, however, is believed to be the region adjacent to the old Bonanza quartz camp.
 MT. Brooks states that the soil that has come into such prominence recently is of the white cement char aeter, and varies in depth from six feet to sixty feet of a distinetively cement condition. The method of handling it is by the Quinner ap paratus, which is a pulverizing pro cess It Is said to recover 40 cents and over a cubic yard, at a cost of 25 cents. The Quinner is now regarded as the most economical and the best adapted appliance for treat ing these mineral deposits.
 Climatic conditions are favorable for the prosecution of the new in dustry, and from the large number of miners and prospeetors going to that section it is probable that a rush will soon be made to secure To- cations.
 The region is very uninviting one owing to the lack of water and wood, but these obstacles are ineon- sequential compared to the fact that the country for many miles is known to be capped with the ealiehe soil, and is identical to that of the Son ora fields, and far more extensive.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Nov. 1.-The convention, in session today passed Proposition No. 70, introduced by Parsons of COchise, relative to the limitation of damages for personal in- iuries, after it mad been amended up on motion of Kingan, to read "Any contract or agreement to waive any right to recover damages for death or injury shall be void.''

 Suffrage Hearing Today.
 PHOENIX. Ariz., Nov. Pub lieity of campaign funds. and limita- tion of damages for injuries or death, caused a general debate, lasting sev- eral hours, this afternoon. As re- ported by the Revision Committee, the former proposition provides for publicity "before and after,' and was adopted by a vote of 49 to l. The latter proposition was again re- ferred to the judiciary committee, af- ter it had been amended to read Any contract or agreement to waive any right to recover damages for death or injury shall be void"
 It is understood that the proposi- tiOn allowing the State to engage in industrial pursuits, was voted down in the Legislative Committee, the opposition eharacterizing it the entering wedge of Socialism" " Friends of the measure, however, an- nOunce they will bring it before the convention
 The feature of tomOrrow's session will probably be the public hearing on Suffrage by the Elections Commit tee, at which several suffragettes will speak.
