John w. Fink, president and gen
eral manager of the d. e w. Mining
company whose property is located
about Is miles northwest of Parker,
under the date of june 10 has issued
the following report to the stock
holders of that company:
In this report | will review i'm
part the work as resumed Sept. Is,
1911, and as formally presented to
you i'm my report of Jam. 5, 1912. With
a force of mime men we reopened the
mime Sept Is, 1911, and began work
where we left off in JUNE, driftin g
and cross-cuItting ON the different lev
els, exposing ore bodies preparatory
to stopping.
"On the 100 and 200 foot levels
where stations We're cut, We drove
cross cuts to the east about 40 feet,
where the leads were encountered,
showing practically the same ore as
ON the 800 and 700 foot levels.
Drifting ON this ore for about 165
feet showed the lead to be more or
less faulted, but the ore showed
stronger i'm free gold and stronger al
SO i'm copper. On these levels, as
we'll as ON the 300 and 700 foot levels,
large bodies of milling ore was rn-
covered and ready for stopping for
~f 0ol
level with the ends of the drift still
in bearing ore.
''This same lead has been cross
cut on the 800 level, showing the Lead
to be about Is feet in width and car
rying good ore values. Drifting ex
tensively ON this level has been held
back for the reason that here We get
our water supply. The pumping
plant being stationed ON this level,
if drifting were to continue here, our
water supply would be rendered un
fit for domestic use. However, "a
cross-cut was run ON this level ex-
tending west 100. feet for the pur-
pose of demonstrating that the lead
and ore-body found ON the 700 foot
level was the same ais shown i'm the
surface tunnel, and the fact was
thus proven-that ALL surface show
ings west of the shaft is uniform,
with the different levels down to
the 700 foot level
after striking the first lead ON
the 700 foot level, We encountered
good values i'm gold and copper, gold
predominating On this lead we drift
ed north and south about 325 feet,
exposing big body of milling ore
all the way. We then continued to
cross-cut to the east 400 feet farther,
where We encountered another good
lead showing good values i'm free
gold as WE'LL as copper. No drifting
on this second lead has been done.
1t has been great satisfaction to mI?
to know that both leads and ore4bod-
les carry free gold at the 700 foot
level as we'll aus at the 100 foot level

tended into the hill i'm a southerly

According ito the latest census buI-
irrigated i'm 1909. i'm Arizona. IT, made
up of the number reported ON the
supplemental schedules by the reg
ular ennmerators, together with an
estimate of the number of farms GOV
4reG by enterprises which were ne
ported by special agents but not by
the regular enumeratOrs. This esti-
mate was based upon the average ac
reage irrigated per farm shown by
the supplemental schedule.
According to the Figures, irriga-
ton was practiced ON slightly more
than one-half (525 per cent? of the
farms in Arizona i'm 1909. In 1899 the
proportion of irrigated farms among
those outside of Indian reservations
WAS 1873 per cent while in 1889 it
was 75.4 per cent 1t Isl evident that
between 1889 and 1899 the number
of unirrigated farms Increased more
rapidly than the number of irrigated
farms, while the difference in favor
of unirrigated farms has been even
more marked during the later decade
In 5 out of l3 counties i'm the
state more than half the farms are
irrigated, i'm 3 the proportion is be
tween 40 and SO per cent, while liz
2 it is between 25 and 40 per cent.
In the remaining counties, Apache
Navajo and Coconino, less than one
fourth of the farms are irrigated
These latter counties are i'm the north
eastern portion OF the state. where a
large percentage of the farms re
ported are cattle ranches, ON which
the raising of crops is of secondary
Importance. Pinal county shows the
largest proportion of irrigated farms
92.S per cent, and Graham county the
next largest S6.1 per cent.
From 1899 to 1909 the increase i'm
the number of irrigated farms in
Arizona. outside of those supplied
by Indian Service enterprises, was
1913 per cent. This percentage of i'm
crease was exceeded i'm five coltntieG
a!l bllt one of which are in the south
el'n part of the state, the highest rate
of gain being 1925 per cent in Co
chi9e county, 10 per cent i'm Yuma
county, and Ga per cent in Graham
county. In five counties decreases in.
the number of farms irrigated lis
shown, while in one county the num-
ber of irrigated farms remained the
same. For three of the five cOum-
tie; which show decreases in the
number of irrigated farms increase
in the irrigated acreage We're repor,-
ed, from which fact an increase in
the acreage irrigated per farm is
apparent.
In 1910 existing enterprises were
ready to supply water to 387 ,655
acres, or 67,604 acres more than
We're irrigated i'm 1909.
1t is probable that, after allow
ance is made for an increase in the
area irrigated in 1910 over that i'm
1909, there remained at the close of

PARKER FANS ARE
SURE OF VICTORY

Parker's crack baseball team is
scheduled to play the Wickenburg ag-
gregatiOn ON the latter's diamond on
july Fourth. This Parker Wicken-
burg game has become an annual
event with THE local boys carrying off
the lions share of the honors i'm past
years.
The Wickenburg team this year
will be recuited from among oldJtime
stars who are working in the mines
In that Wcinity. Fans i'm the desert
village say they have the best team
that has represented the town vet
and they expect ito square UP all
past scores with Parker.
The showing made by the Parker
ties i'm games with the Indian school
this spring indicates that they have
a winning team. With Williams i'm
the box it lis a good bet that the Wis
itng team will more than hold tits
own. Williams struck out the first
six men that came up to bat lin the
game last year. AS a result the
speedy little railroader is feared by
the Wickenburgers and this fact may
have important bearing ON the re
suit

OPPOSITION TO DOCK IMPROVEMENT.

IT N every city where water terminal improvements are under.
taken by the municipality open or covert opposition is made
by railroad interests. In New York the battle has been
going on for years. The railroads made strenuous efforts to get
possession of the Erie canal and it's terminals and used all their
power to prevent the building of the barge canal They have
schemed and intrigued to secure control of the Manhattan water
front. In Philadelphia the railroads secured from a rotten city
government the greater part of the Delaware waterfront and
they are now fighting off city enterprise for the development of
what the city can get control of. AT Camden, Trenton and
Jersey City the story is the same, and we are conscious of the
same influence adverse to Newark's plans for meadow and dock
improvement. Selfish railroad opposition to municipal enter
prise takes all kinds of shapes and appears in all sorts of guises.
1t crops out in, boards of trade and among business men. 1t
furnishes the motive for conservative objection and economic
fears and lit inspires attacks on those who are foremost in pro-
posing improvements.

PARTY PLATFORMS THIS YEAR.

0TSHE national platforms to be adopted at Chicago and BaIti
ii more will have a real meaning in the November elections
and there will be a struggle in both conventions to con.
troll the platform machinery. AT Chicago the struggle has begun
in the national committee whether there shall be a platform
modelled on the policies of Mr.. Taft or a platform after the ideas
Of Roosevelt, reactionary or progressive. At Baltimore the plat
form is bound to be progressive, and the question is only as
to degree. A stinging arrangement of the Taft administration
will be a part of the Democratic platform, but its best material
will be the legislation of the Democratic House and the already
halfperformed promises of great reforms in the government and
in the conditions of human existence in this country. What kind
of a platform would go with a Taft candidacy it is hard to say
Necessarily, it would be apologize of Taft, but what else could
1t present, except empty generalization and appeals to the fears
of the timid? A Roosevelt platform would be conservatively
progressive, 1t could repudiate Taft and the scandals of his
administration, and make promises on the lines of the Roosevelt
policies which Taft was elected on and put under foot. But in
platformamaking the Democratic convention has an immense
advantage over the Republican.

4 HOUSE-MADE PRESIDENT.

TsHERE is very little possibility of the presidential election
Ii being thrown into the House of Representatives. as If
was on two occasions in the past, once in the election of
Thomas Jefferson and again when John Quincy Adams became
President. 1t is well known that when no candidate for Presi.
dent gets a majority of the Electoral College the House Of Rep.
resentatves chooses the President and the Senate the Vice-Presi.
dent among the candidates in the election. Each State has one
vote, regardless of the number of its representatives. 1t happens
that In the present House the States are divided politically,
twenty-five States, including New Jersey, having a Democratic
majority in their delegations, and twenty-five States a Republican
majority, while four States are equally divided and could not vote
either way. Before an election goes to Congress, however. there
may be deaths or designations to make either a Democratic or
Republican majority of States, and in fact in such a contingency
as a presidential election by the House members might be induced
to resign to give the election to the opposite party. There would
be strong pecuniary temptations for this act of perfdy.

ROOSEVELT TO CHICAGO.

N SPECTACULAR feature of the titanic struggle in the Re.
n publican party now going on at Chicago will be Roose-
velt's appearance in that city to take commend of the
progressive forces. A trip from Oyster Bay to Chicago is a
Journey of only a few hours, but Roosevelt can utilize if nv
making stops at various points on his way to address crowds and
send out clarion calls to Republican voters throughout the land.
Every Republican is on the keen edge of interest in the outcome
at Chicago and there may be manifestations on Rooseyelts trim
westward of a character to make a profound impression on the
convention, if not on the national committee. The drama ar
Chicago is only beginning to unfold.

And the same sun guards the day!

Though you wander away from me,
Ii shall go with you wherever you wend,
And some sweet day at the journeys
You'll turn, and my face you'll see.
For 1t isn't the miles we go
That keeps us far apart,
THE storms may smite and the winds may
blow.
But never a sunderlng wave may flow
Between me and your heart.

On a wild world heater track,
But over the hills and the wales and the

At last your feet will come drifting
And I will welcome you back.
And If you should come no more?
Why, then, should we say good-by?
All, never a sea but has a shore,
And death may thunder and rage and
roar,
But love can never die.
