Arizona Prospector
 sntOmbed in Tunnel

Entombed in tunne' on one of his mining claims, fifty feet in tho earth, four miles from the nearest m ming camp or habuation and diggiDg hm- self out after fige hours ot strenu us labor in the darkness, with no living thing Co welcome or assist him ex cept his faithful dogs keeping vigil at the mouth of the tunnel, was the terrible experience of Joseph Meyers in the Copper Basin district, north of Phoenix.
 Adding further to his tormen,s was the tact that when he was entombed toy the csve.in he had only half A can de left to light him in what he believed was his living tomb.
 To friend, Meyers graphically de scrited the cavirs of the tunnel iour- l-teen feet from the face, Where he was working, preventing his escape, and | the thoughts that flashed through his ! mind when he found himself entJmb ed and with the only hope Of escape left in the accidental discovery the following day of the csve-in by Joe Rudy, who was to deliver him s quarter of beef.

--sicbg oOth democrats republicans will have Co be left ont ii there are only 52 delegates
 The second objection advanced is that the convention Is likely to toe strongly partisan If tbe number oi delegates is restricted. The parties will line up and fight each other. Political bias IS always stronger among few than among q number. Party whips will crack and the result will not be for the hest interests of the parties or for the people. The best elements in both parties want the con ventIon to le an earnest body of citi- zens with the best interests of Arizona at heart, not the best interests of pos iiticsl parties
 The third reason is that however carefully the delegates are selected there is bound to be a few in the con vention that should no, he there. By breed.n trouble and standing in the way of the others they will mark them selves as undesirable delegates. In 6 body of 52 these undesirahles will have some power. Their votes will be worth something. In 4 larger convention they will not amount to much. Ibeil votes will lessen in value and they will not wield any influence to speak of
