The canvssslng Board Cannot Go Be-
 hind the Returns.

Tuesday of the present week the canvassing board at Phoenix took up again consideration of the con- tests filed before that body on the preceding week and continued to give notice to all parties, in other counties as we'll as Santa Cruz. District Attorney w. A. O'Connor appeared with MT. Ear hart, and Attorney General.elect Bullard was associated with MT. O'Connor. As before MT. Allen T. Bird, republican executive commit teeman from Santa Cruz county, appeared to sustain the proposed contest. Judge J. M. Jamison of Phoenix appeared on behalf of contestants from Coconino county.
 After an exhaustive discussion the board deliberated on the mat ter, and after calling in the con- testants and their representatives who had retired, announced that the powers claimed for the board on behalf of the contestants were doubtful, and the doubt was re- solved against the contestants the board cannot go behind the returns. The remedy of the con- testants is in the courts.
 That decision clears the question. Now when the case is taken into the courts, which it will be, the contestants cannot be shut out with a ruling that they should have gone to the canvassing board.

No Precinct Officers.

Tuesday Governor Sloan stated to District Attorney w. A. O'Con- nor that the canvassing board is paying no attention to the returns from precincts in the matter of pre- cinct officers in Pima, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties-that the con- stitution provides for no such offices-except that they shall be provided by law-and that until the legislature acts there can be no election. So those now in office will stay in while yet.

 At HermosillO tomorrow there will be a matched game of base ball between the Hermosillo nine and the Nogales nine-the latter going to the Sonora capital this evening. Next Sunday Nogales will play at Guaymas.
 There is disquieting rumor that the main body of the Yaquis refuse to ratify or abide by the peace treaty recently framed by their enyoys with General Viljoen, the peace commissioner, on behalf of the Mexican government, of which treaty mention was made in these columns recently.
 The quarantine at MagdaIena on account of small pox continues, although the pestilence is under control and the number of cases diminishing without Lew cases. A cordon of soldiers is drawn about the town and no one is permitted to leave or enter the place whether by rail, vehicle or otherwise.
 H. K. and Doctor w. F. Cheno- weth have pending a deal for their ProvidenCia mine, a fine gold prop erty out between the Dolores and Santo Domingo rivers about forty miles east from Magdalena. Re- sponsible parties have contracted to erect a mill and handle the property. The mine is very rich in gold with considerable develop ment already.
 Today the Southern Pacific of Mexico will open formally it's line to Topic, and excursion trains have taken many from Guaymas and Hermoslllo to witness the cere- mony. Vice President Gomez, from the federal capital, will be present and participate in the ceremonies. Upon the fifth of February through train schedule will be inaugurated between Mo- gales and Topic, distance of 9S6 miles.
 MT. Louis Goldbaum is reported to have in hand a deal for his Queen Monserrat gold mine in the Pineta mountains, some fifteen miles from Quijano station. The price is stated at $250,000 gold. As stated recently the mine is look ing finely. A tunnel 235 feet long on a ledge three and one-half feet wide has exposed a fine body of jasperite gold bearing ore which assays seven ounces per ton. That is average. Some of the rock goes @ great deal higher.

THE GREAT REGISTER.
or Santa Cruz county-lts Mysteries
 and Discrepancies.

ters to which the attention of the first state legislature of Arizona should be directed is enactment of an adequate registration law, under which the Great Register shall be what is intended: a pro. tection to the legal voter and a safeguard against the illegal one. The present registration law is a farce and the Great Register of Santa Cruz county, at least, is a joke. It bears the names of men long dead, others who are known to have left the county, and some who are known to be aliens. In registration of voters registering officers have been remiss, apparent ly, in exercising that scrutiny the law demands in ascertaining the qualifications of the alleged citizen seeking registration; and in that way men who had no legal right whatever to exercise the elective franchise have been registered as legal voters, and in close elections they have determined the issue.
 The law requires that the record CT shall go over the register from time to time-presumably when new copies are to be printed for use in an election-and purge the same of names of voters known to be ineligible to exercise of the franchise. That was done few months ago; but there appear yet many names which ought to be cancelled. In just a cursory glance over the register the editor counted recently no less than forty-nine such names.
 Picking up the Great Register as published it is found that the following names are not properly nor rightfully upon the Register: 
 Edward J. Ashley, registered in Nogales precinct, has gone away from Nogales permanently.
 Jesus Arvizu, registered in No- gales precinct, is shown on the register as a citizen by virtue of his fathers naturalization. Wit nesses may be produced to show that the father was never out of Sonora. Arvizu was was challeng- ed at the election of 1908, and he swore in his vote, alleging that the Great Register was in error, that it was himself who was naturalized. In the content case of Noon vs. O'Connor, involving the district attorneyship, Arvizu's vote was assailed by the contestant, who had witnesses to prove that the father had lived in Sonora all his life. Arvizu was put upon the stand and he swore point blank that he himself was naturalized at San Bernardino in 1877. That settled it: and that settled the election. Other votes attacked successfully by MT. Noon had whittled down MT. O'Connor's slight majority to a tie. With Arvizu's vote counted O'Connor retained the office be. cause his successor was not elected. Had the Court thrown out the vote Noon would have had one majority and would have taken the office. Afterward MT. Noon sent to San Bernardino and secur- ed certificate from the County Clerk to the effect that 10 one of

 An effort was made in court to find how the registration was ent. cred, and the recorder was put on the stand. That official testified that the affidavit accompanying the re- gistration was lost in moving the records from the Marsh building to the court house.
 Mir. O'Connor has retained the office of district attorney three years by the weight and force of one illegal vote cast in his favor.
 In the election for delegate to the constitutional convention in 1910 Arvizu was again challenged, and again he made the oath he had in court. Unfortunately the chal. lenger did not have at hand the certificate from San Bernardino to disprove his alleged naturalization; and the election board accepted the vote over the protest of the challenger. On December 18th that challenge was overlooked. The challenger was called away and temporary substitute was put in who was not posted on Arvi- zu; and it chanced that the latter went to the polls and voted with. out challenge. Had the challenger been there when Arvizu voted the certificate from San Bernardino would have been raised.
 To follow along the list of names on the Great Register: Stephen NJ. Bailey has removed to Maricopa county, permanently. The editor saw him at Phoenix last week. After leaving Santa Cruz county he was in Pinal county long time. He is on the great register there and his voting number is 155.
 Doming Bueno, No. 65 on the Great Register, as native of Mexico, is entered as a citizen of the Unit ed States "by virtue of the Gads- den purchase" The Gadsden treaty was made in 1852. By virtue of that treaty all natives and residents of the territory pur. chased became citizens of the Unit ed States. The Great Register shows that Bueno was registered in June 1908, at which time he was alleged to be 6fty-four years of age. In that case he was born in Mexico in 1854, two years after the Gadsden treaty was made and has no right to citizenship under that treaty. Nobody but a registration officer, after the twenty-five cent fee, could stretch a solemn treaty with a foreign nation in a manner so reckless.
 D. w. Cummings, No. 157, has been dead about two years.
 Herbert c. Chambers, No. 16O removed to San Francisco.
 Reyes Calistro, No. 165, is another citizen by virtue of the Gadsden purchase. AS he is put down to have been sixty.fve in 1908, he was nine years old when the Gadsden purchase was made, and it is possible that at the time the treaty was made he was a re- sident of the territory purchased, but 1t is a case which would justify investigation,
 Charming E. Darrow, No. 19S, is dead.
 John s. Day, No. 195 has remov- ed from the county.
