LITTLE INTEREST is MANIFEST
ED AND VOTE WILL BE LIGHT
BUT FEW VOTERS REGIS.
TERED IN PARKER PRECINCT.

The first primary election under
the new election law will be held on
September TO- next Tuesday. AT
this primary election only those can
vote who have registered when the
registration books closed last Fri
day. The registration in Yuma coun-
ty is painfully light 1t is believed
that the number will not exceed l 1000
and may be under rather than over
that number. Only about As regis
tered in Parker precinct This num-
ber will be materially increased when
the registration books open again af-
ter the primary election
Very little interest is being taken
i'm the primary election, mainly from
the fact that there are neither county
nor state officials to be nominated.
The only officers to be nominated
are a candidate for congressman
three electors from the state at large
and precinct committeeman.
There are four parties i'm the field
and each is presenting a full ticket
except for precinct committeeman
In most instances the voter will have
to write in the name of a precinct
committeeman if he desires to vote
for one
The candidates for congress are
Carl Hayden democrat, Thomas f.
Campbell republican, Robert S. Fish
er progressive and A. Charles Smith
socialist.
The candidates for electors are:

Smith, republicans; E. S. Clark,
John C. Greenway and Dwight B.
Heard progressives; j. L. Brooks,

The democrats have not placed in
nomination any candidate for com
mitteeman and the voters in each
precniot will vote for whoever they
want for that place The republi-
cans. progressives and socialists have
placed in nomination committeeman

TOO MUCH DYNAMITE.

Several revolver shots in the vi
cinity of the Mexican part of town
and two heavy dynamite explosions
on B street Thursday evening caused
considerable speculation for a time
as to what the disturbance was about
The two revolver shots We're fired
by an unknown Mexican, while the
dynamite was set off by some young
ster who believes that monkeying
with explosives is fun. Both acts
were in violation of the law, and if
these promiscuous explosions and
gum plays do not cease complaint is
ito be made to theproper authorities
and an example made of the offenders.
There have been two cases in Par
ker recently where young boys have
received painful injuries from fool

STARTS OCT. l
A FORCE OF THIRTY MINERS
WILL BE PUT ON, SAYS c. w.
MITCHELL - MINE TO MAKE
REGULAR SHIPMENTS.

Word has been received from C. w
Mitchell the past week to the effect
that he has succeeded in financing
the Arizona Empire, and that begin
ming October l force of at least
thirty miners would be empolyed
on the company's property, located
in Empire Flats.
This is good news for this district.
as the opening of the Arizona EN-
pire on good scale will be of much
benefit to Parker, as we'll as stimu-
lating the mining industry in that
section of the district.
A few months ago a cotton ship
ment was made from this property
to the Humboldt smelter. The ore
averaged over $50 per ton, and net
ted the company about $50 per ton
Ii is claimed that the Arizona En-
pire has many tons of the same char
acter of ore insight, and that regular
will be maintained after
work is inaugurated on property in
October.

pany to sink a 1000-foot shaft ON the

the Colorado river to the Riverside
mountains. Within a few miles of
its destination the boat foundered
and it's cargo remained imbedded i'm
the quicksands for number of years.
Then the channel changed and part
of the apparatus was exposed and re-
covered. Some of the machinery lis
now in use at the property of the
Corem Mining & Reduction company,
one of the concerns absorbed by the
Republic Smelling corporation.
If the plans of the Republic com
pany mature, as fully expected, it
sill be-the means of sd ilngtiatting min

are thousands of low and medium
grade ores that could be shipped at
a profit if a smelter were situated
conveniently, as is proposed by the
Republic company.

TO IRRIGATE
POSOS VALLEY
NEARLY 100000 ACRES OF LAND
NEAR QUARTZSITE,Y YUMA COUN
TY, TO BE RECLAIMED-COMPA-
NY START WORK THIS MOTNH.

Steps have been taken by capital
lists of Southern California for the re-
clamation n d settlement of the
valley lands at Quartzsite. Arizona,
twenty miles south of Bouse.
A company, the Pesos Valley Water
company, composed principally Of
stockholders in the La Paz Mining
company, which is interested i'm the
placer mines between Quartzsite and
old La PaZ, has been incorporated
under the laws of California with a
capital stock of 100000 according
to descriptive pamphlets issued by
the company.
The officers of the corporation
are: o. L. Grimsley, Pres. and Gen
Mgr, H. Groves, Vice-Pres., VIM.
p Bardshar, Secretary, DR.. G. A.
Scroggs, Treas.
An attractive booklet describing
the land and project has been got
ten out by the Pesos Valley Water
company. 1t is known that there is
vast acreage of level and fertile
land around Quartzsite, as yet un-
surveyed. The valley is about twen-
ty miles from the Colorado river at
Ehrenberg.
Referring to the project, O. L.
GrimSley. president and manager of
the company. said:
''The Pesos Valley Water COM
pany is going to install a $3.50. 900
irrigation system in the valley at
QuartZsite to be operated by the
means of wells to be operated by
pumps. The Water company has al
ready purchased a large traction en-
gine and well-digging outfit and is
going to ship them into Bouse and
20th OF September.
The company has preempted all
ssssaite1 rights ia said valley and is
going to install a system of irriga-
tion on the 200,0 900 acres of land
which lies in the Quartzsite valley.
I'VE have already in our office 85
people signed to go out to locate. as
soon as we have the lands sectiOnized
We have made arrangements with
the Surveyor General at Phoenix
and with the General Land office at
Washington. D. c., to have immedi-
ate survey made of said valley and
expect to have it sectionized by the
20th of September
The company is going to use all
methods in its power to rush the
plant along as rapidly as possible
and think We can begin to furnish
water to some farmers by the first
of March, 1913'

Two 16 in centrifugal pumps were
installed at head gate this week to

of cotton pickers are to come here
from Imperial and other places within

for the De Laval Creamery company,
who has been assisting in the work
of installing the machinery at the

the machinery is in place and James

work, will remain to superintend the
initial run. Work has been Temporal
rily discontinued awaiting the arri-

states that the completion of the
plant will only be a matter of a few

Ell PaSO and SoluthW WeStern railroad
to Phoenix, and the running of Rock
Island trains to the coast by the
way of Parker and over the Santa
Fe cutoff
1t is known that Mr.. Nudge was
through ArizOna recently and the
plans here outlined seem plausible
as they have for long time. 1T may
be that something is about to be
done The Journal says:
Recent developments i'm railway
circles indicate that Within a year on
two the Rock Island will be ready to
run trains into Los Angeles ON it's
part of the distance from Ell Paso to
Los Angeles covered by its own rails,
in which event the road probably
would arrange with some other line
for an entrance into Los Angeles.
In amy event it is believed that the
company is seeking to terminate the
lease which it now has for the use of
the Southern Pacific tracks from Ell
Paso ito Los Angeles.
1T has been reported on semi-of-
nclal authority that the Southern Pa
oific charges the Rock Island a high
rental for the use of the tracks be-
hween Ell Paso and Los Angeles and
THAT the Rock Island is compelled
to pay one-half the cost of mainte-
nance. These charges, it is claimed
by railroad officials, prevent the
Rock Island making any profits ON
its California business.
''The Rock Island system proper
now ends at Tucumcari, N. NJ, from
which point entrance is effected into
Ell Paso over the Ell Paso and South
western, owned by the Phelps Dodge
interests. The Ell Paso and South
WESTERN it is reported soon will have
it's extension into Tucson, Ariz., COM
pleted, after which it will be extend
ed siXty-five miles further to Phoe-
mix, where connection will be made
with the Santa Fe, and a joint traffic
arrangement completed with the San
ia Fe for use of the tracks between
Phoenix and Los Angeles. Negoti-
ations already are said to have been
started between the Rock Island and
the Santa Fe
President H. U. Nudge of the
Rock Island recently spent several
days i'm the southwest investigating
opportunities for making traffic ar
other than with the
Southern Pacific. A line of its own
or a more friendly ally is generally
regarded aus almost a necessity for
the Rock Island. The road has near
ly 5000 miles of tracks and has ter
minals in Chicago, ST. Louis, Kansas
City, ST. Paul, Minneapolis, and Mem
phis with leased terminals i'm Denver
and Omaha"
