WAGE INCREASE FOR EMPLOYEES IN
 DISTRICT
Three Large Mining Companies Give Notice of Increase Per Hour Ranging From 2
 to 12 Per Cent.
UNDERGROUND MEN ! 1-2 HRS.
Wages and Shorter Hours in Southwest.

AS result Of the increased price of copper, which the three large min ing companies of the district have enjoyed for the past few months, and which gives promise of continuing in crease and readjustment of the wage schedule in the district has been made by the Detroit Copper Co, the shannon Copper Co.,, and the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd, on an hourly basis.
 It is the concensus of opinion, u'l- first State Legislature, that all em- ployees connected, directly or indi- rectly with smelling or mining opera tions, shall be employed for eight hours only in any one day. The nine hour day will be abolished and nine hours, will receive an increased rate per hour for eight hours work Employees who have been working an eight hour shift in the past, will receive an increase of wages per hour ranging from seven to ten per cent per nOuI dllQ even t4OIc-
 All surface men about the mines. who formerly worked nine hours, will in the future be on shift but eight hours at an increased rate per hour All underground men, including miners and muckers, will. only remain time they enter the mine until they
 
 are again hoisted to the surface. During this eight hours the under ground men will take one half hour for lunch, reducing the actual work ing time under ground to seven and one-half. The increase for unde-- ground men averages from three to four cents per hour.
 The scale of wages applying to the underground men was made effective on June 1. The change of wages and hours for employees about the smell ter, machinists, boiler makers, en- gineers, etc., has not been completed in full, so far as the A. c. Go. is concerned, but is expected to be post ed within few days.
 Some of the changes already decid- ed upon include stationery firemen in- creased from $2 50 to $2. .72, carpent- CTS, $4 OO for eight hours instead of nine hours work; charge wheelers at the smelter increased from S1.75 to $2. %, same hours; converter em- ployees who formerly received $1. 60 for eight hours, will, under the new schedule, receive S1.S4; employees who formerly received s2 50 for eight hours now receive S2. 72 roustabout laborers, who formerly worked ten hours at s1.75 per day, now work eight hours and receive $1. 76; sta tionery engineers who formerly re- ceived $3 20 per day for eight hours now receive $3 52, same hours; and engineers receiving $3. .75 will in the future be paid S4 to- same hours.
 The increase in wages is following the policy adopted by the big mining companies of the southwest, of in creasing wages of employees when the price of copper had advanced beyond a certain point. It was decided sew eral weeks ago that an increase would be granted. This ;s good news for the entire district. It means both shorter hours and increased wages.

 In the senate the bill for the re- peal of the educational qualification for voters occupied considerable time and finally was killed by a vote of F to z. All of the republicans opposed the killing of the Dill as did also Hughes of Pima, Jovin of Mohavc, and Worsley of Pima. Worsley made an elaborate speech in support of the bill, but his oratory apparenl- ly was without effect for the lineup Iof the senate when the matter was be- fore committee of the whole was not changed. a { In the. house. the prize fight bill was favorably recommend for pass- age by committee and will be be- fore the committee of the whole to- morrow There is little doubt that the bill will pass the house The election bill will also be up for final passage, and Saxon, who is in charge of the bill, tonight said the bill would pass.

SENATOR ASHURST
 LEVEL HEADED MAN

It IS good to see men who pre- serve a level head, act naturally and recognize old friends in spite of great success that comes to them. This is Occasioned by the recent elected one of the United States Senators from Arizona by popular vote. In his day Ashurst was a cowboy and deputy sheriff Hard conditions in hls early life made 1t necessary for this man to get out and hustle at any old thing for awhile. While in town he met two men, Stan ley and Miller by name, who were cowboys and deputy sheriffs with him m his earlier days. He was more then glad to meet and be with them, notwithstanding that they are having now some rough financial times. Nothing was to good for them at the Pa lace, where he was guest. These men were not looking tor favors, simply wanting to see their friend of former Arizona days
 They all had a good time for the few days the new Senator was in town. Ashurst wanted tC take them by to Arizona with t,m, but they said no. They both were about to get jobs here and thought 1t best to remain.
 Well some day when yot want to come to See me in Wash ington, let me know" was hi: parting word to his chums o other days Oakland Tribune.

COMMISSION OF
 NOTARIES ARE VOID

Arizona Is to rec1eve approxi- mately $12,5O0 in fees from all unexpected source. About 5000 notarial commissions expired when the territory became a state.
 The discovery that all notarIal commissions became null and void when Arizona entered the union was made by Attorney General George Purdy Bullard. Former Governor Sloan was un- der the impression that all com missions were good until the dates ofexpiratiou mentioned on their faces. In fact, he issued two commissions Tuesday. Those two are no better than any others.
 A notoriaI commission costs $25O. It is believed that most ot the 5000 notaries in Arizona will ask for re appointment and they will put about $l2,5OO Ill the treasury.

CURIOUS BITS
 OF HISTORY
lINCOLN'S ANSWER re
 SEWARD.
By A. w. MACY.


 William H. Seward and hls friends were sorely disappolnt- ed at his failure to secure the nomination for the presidency In 1860. Lincoln displayed both sagacity and magnanimity when he gave his defeated rival the most important place in his cab inet. At the time Lincoln was largely an unknown quantity. while Seward was a man of much experience in public af- fairs. Stewards friends confi- dentIy expected hir to be the strong man of the cabinet. and even to overshsdow the exeeu- tive. Shortly after entering up- on his duties he handed Lincoln note containing "Some Thoughts for the Presidents Consideration" Among other things he suggested the neeess- ity that some one man should take the lead and grapple boldly with the situation. closing with these words: "Either the pres ident must do it himself, or de volVe it upon some member of the cabinet. lt is not my special province, but | neither seek to eVade or as sume responsibility" Lincoln answered the note the same day. On the question of leadership he simply said, "if this must be
 done, | must do it." The mat ter was dropped then and there, and with fine discretion Lin coin kept the correspondence secret.

ARIZONA FULL PLEDGED STATE
Restoration
 Of Recall Is Advocated

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. I4-With western simplicity, known else where in matters Cffi.iaI as lief tersonian," George w. P. Hunt was inaugurated as the frststate governor of Arizona today. A Hash by telegraph from Washing ton that President. Taft had signed the proclamation of ad- mission was the signal tor a wild outburst of enthusiasm from thousands of citizens of the new State who had gathered at the capital for the inaugural. The plea of Governor Hunt for a quick, decorum ceremony was forgotten The air was rent by wild shouts and yells, the shriek- lirg of whistles and the heavy re- port of bombs.
 Governor Thomas F. Marsh all, of Indiana, arrived today to attend the inauguration. He was on the stand with Governor Hunt when Chief Justice Kent administered the oath of office
 William Jennings Bryan, who came to the capital with Cover. nor Hunt yesterday, remained ir seclusiOn until after the parade insisted on by the citizens, when
 he delivered an address to 5,00L
 or more persons in the city hal plaza.
 Accompanied by number oi

 and a few close friends, Governor

 the capital. which stands jus

THE CHARITY BALL IS PRONOUNCED
 SUCCESS
Large Attendance Responds to Call of Ladies to Pro-
 mote Worthy Object

The ball Is over It was nat urallv a success, because mere man had no part in the manage ment. It was q fine demonstra tion of what can he accomplish ed by the ladies when an object lesson is necessary.
 Space and time forbid specify ing all the interesting features that attended it and as nearly everybody seemed to be there it may he assumed that it can be dispensed with.
 As a social function and repre- sentative gathering it eclipsed anything ever held in Winslow within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Everyone who at tended was enthusiastic in ex pressing the verdict that the la dies deserve a full measure of praise for the happy result of their endeavors to give every body a good time in considera tion for their good will toward a charitable cause.
 When the grand march opened, led by Mir. F. K. Ellis and Mrs Martin Dadey, assisted by Mir and Mrs ]. B. Drumm, one hun dred and seventeen couples were counted in the line and a goodlA number still occupied seats as spectators.
 Following the march, jury com prised entirely of the gentle sex an- nounced, thru Prof. Ellis, the rules that would govern during the evening
 As the said rules prescribed for the inf1iction of penalty for nearly every thing which the mere men might do oI neglect to do there was considerable uneasiness on the part of the stern sex throughout the evening. The only place which offered any immunity iron frequent arrest was cozy corner taste fully decorated where the men were privileged to smoke and then "pinched' for lndu1ging in the nasty weed.

But there was no use Everyon reveled in the chance te put someon' else in the tolls so the sport went mer rily on and enlivened the evening.
 The committee is unable as yet t' determine the financial result of tn ball but it is hoped that it will form subst ancial nucleus to the cemeter fund which is expected to be augmen ted from tine to time by similar enter prizes by the various city organizations
 The possibilities of the project hay been demonstrated by this initial effor in which the burden of the work eS pendet was voluntarily assumed by small church society unassisted b more than one or two other similar ol ganizations as such.

 The prisoner had little to say and would not have talked at all had he not been importuned by a few questions.
 He was not asked anything concerning the accusation againsthim. He seemed to be altogether unconcerned about anything, taking life easy as the dis tinguished guestof Sheriff Tom Walden.
 The Sheriff remarked to him that he looked to be getting fatter every day, in which opinion Davidson did not seem to share. He said he imagined he had fallen off about twenty-five pounds,
