ties or the state ana cSpcCiaily
 Mohave county. should prepare the
 necessary petitions to invoke the
 referendum on the mining bill re-
 gently passed by the Arizona lcgis-
 lature. The measure not only is
 an injustice 10 the mine owner that
 is desirous of having his property
 developed. but it strikes at the life
 of contracts. No man owning min
 ing property that he holds in high
 regard will take chance on bond
 ing. leasing or optioning while this
 law is on our statute books. IL is
 difficult enough now 10 get mining
 men 10 take up undevelopcd prop
 crty, and when lied down by bonds
 or restrictions are more than likely
 to pass up the best of mining prop
 ositions By the cutting down of
 development, work miners will be
 injured as much as even the mine
 owner
