TIE PHILOSOPHY or nAc,r1nxs

Now is the season when tanned and
healthy folks are drifting back to the
city, bringing tokens OF the good they
have reaped from brief vacation at
the shore or n the mountains. often
enough the benefits of such OUTINGS
seem out OF all proportion TO tho act
ual time spent In recreation. There
seems to be something tonic almost In
the change OF mental attitude wrousht
by a short respite from the work and
worry OF everyday lfe. It seems to
make little difference in what place
man chooses to pass his holiday so
long as he forsets the humdrum pro-
cession OF ,ne days in rest The
blessed relief OF for momen, freeing
the mind and body from the pressing
needs OF life. and sliding through some
hours of calm and embarrassed leisure
is enough to restore vigor and fresh
ness and a kindlier outlook upon
people and things
Probably the mere getting away from
the usual ana the expected and the
monotonous makes for a keener per-
oep'ion OF life as if the photographs

INDIAN PROJECT

Active work on the pumping plant

there are few things to finish be-

STATE REFUSES RAKE-oFF.

No more will the state of Arizona
take 25 per cent of the profits real
lied by convicts on hair goods, silver
ware, canes and other curios that
they manufacture
Warden r. B. Sims of the pen
itentiary recommended to the board
of control that prisoners be allowed
all they can make on goods they man
ufacture during the time the state
does not claim. Governor Hunt has
strongly approved the recommends
ton, and the board issued a formal
order Monday morning.
Eight hours day of each prison
er's time belong to the state. After
they have worked their eight hours,
they are free to engage in any occu-
patton by which they can clear a
few dollars. Many of them have be-
come proficient as silver workers
and at making canes and hair goods.
The system of taking % per cent
OF the profits originated many years
ago under one of the territorial ad-
ministrations.

newspapers of America shows every
state in the unioon but six to be for
Wilson. This poll gives Taft New
Hampshire and Utah, with a total
of eight votes in the electoral col
lege. 1t gives Roosevelt Idaho, IL
linOis and Washington, with a total
of forty -One votes. A number of the
eastern newspapers are now estima-
ting Wilson's electoral vote at AGO
out of a possible 531 votes. A poll
taken last week in Indiana indica-
tes that Wilson will receive nearly
as many votes as both Roosevelt

A REMINDER TO
ARIZONA WOMEN

The present campaign for equal
suffrage has been comparatively short
less than four months having clap
sed since the filing of the initiative
petition on July s. Thus it has
happened that the women. of the
state, as whole, have not been
called upon to render active SER
vice in the cause.
We know, OF course, that the men
and women throughout the state feel
a deep interest in this campaign and
the success of the amendment on
November 5th. But now, with elec-
ton less than two weeks in the fu-
ture, we feel that the question of
equal suffrage demands something
more than a general interest. The
vital need of the hour-and of every
hour from now until the closing of
the polls on the fifth of November
is earnest consistent, individual eff
fort on the part of every friend of
the amendment.
The men of the state, in general,
are looking with more favor upon
this proposition of Votes for Women
than ever before. Therefore, it is
not only fitting but imperative that
the women manifest the greaest ac-
tive interest possible, i'm order that
the men may know that we want the
ballot
We know many men who say that
they would willingly vote for the
their households and their women
friends would ask them to. Obvious
ly then, the thing to do is to ask.
Those actively in charge of the
work at headquarters in Phoenix are
doing everything possible to cover
the field in a general way, by send
ing as many speakers as have been
available to the places which seem
ed to have the greatest need. We
had hoped to reach every town in the
state, but lack of speakers has made
this impossible. Hence this appeal
to the women, individually and col
lectively, to work untiringly for the
during the remaining
days of the campaign.
Next in Importance to securing
votes for the amendment is the mat
ter of funds, which are needed to
carry this work to a successful ter
mination. 1t should be a matter of
pride to the people of Arizona to
meet the expenses of this campaign
without outside help. And so we
are giving them the opportunity to
do SO by asking every one to respond
as generously as possible to this
call for financial aid

STATE FAIR
NEXT WEEK
PEOPLE FROM ALL PARTS OF
ARIZONA WILL MEET AT THE
STATE CAPITAL TO ATTEND
GREATEST FAIR EVER HELD.

Arizonas First State Fair begins
at Phoenix Monday, October %, and
closes NOvemer 2. Information re
ceived from the fair commission is
to the effect that the state fair this
year will excel any similar event
ever held in Arizona, or the entire
southwest for that matter. A royal
good time is promised everybody at
tending, and there will be a big
committee of citizens of Phoenix tC
make it pleasant for the visitors dur
ing their stay in the Capital City.
Quite a number of Parkerites are
preparing to take in the big fair
Many will go early and stay until
the last day, while others will GO
down for the closing days of the bic
doings. The attendance from this
part of the county this year will
excel all previous records.
The big road races from Los An
geles to Phoenix and from San Di
ego to Phoenix will finish in the
latter city Monday. This will make
Monday one of the most interesting
days of the fair, when the speed ma
MACS will make their spectacular fin,
i;shes right at the fair grounds.
Teddy Tetzlaff, the worlds speed
king, and Caleb Bragg, the Pasa
dena millionaire driver, will be there
bile day. The two premier speed
5ters of the world have reconsider
ed their refusal to be in the races
this year. News of their coming will
be received with delight by motor
fans.
With Tetzlaff, Bragg and Barney
Oldfield, the three fastest drivers in
all the world will be there next
week. All will take part in the
races
Tetzlaff and Bragg will drive
Flats and Oldfield probably will
drive a Christy. Tetzlaff and Bragg
won prizes all over the country this
year in Flats. Tetzlaff was beaten
for the Vanderbilt cup by a serious
accident to his machine. In this
years. Santa Monica road race he
defeated Harvey Herrick, who won
the last two Los Angeles to Phoe-
nix road races.
Tetzlaff will not take part in
either the Los Angeles-tO-PhOeniX or
San Diego-to-Phoenix desert grinds
Bragg attained fame in all parts of
the country this year. His reputation
as a daredevil driver is widely es-
tablished.
Besides the exciting auto races
there will be every conceivable kind
of races-horses, burrOs, etc In
fact, everyone attending the big fair
this year will receive their money s
worth, and then some.

for the Greeley-Arizona Irrigation
company, was in Blythe last Saturday
He had just driven down the river
from Calzona and expected to drive
to Parker through the reservation.
Stockholders i'm the Mutual Water
company have just received notice
of $500 assessment that was lev.
led at the meeting of the company di
rectOrs at Oxnard a few days ago.
This assessment is payable between
now and the first of the year and the
money is to be used to enlarge and
clean the system.
Nearly two hundred Palo Verde
ans visited the new ice plant and
creamery last Saturday, which was
opening day. Women of the Woman s
Improvement club had charge of the
reception. They decorated the of
flee room and made a pretty ice
cream parlOr of it, and served a
brand of ice cream that was truly
credit to Palo Verde dairy COWS as
well as those who froze it. L. F.

MINING MEN
ARE ALARMED
OVER RECENT RULINGS BY LAND
OFFICE AFFECTING MINERAL
LOCATIONS - PAY ORE ESSEN
TiAL TO VALID LOCATION.

Important rulings tending to draw
tighter the lines of the government
on mineral land locations have been
received at the Phoenix land office
from Washington by Receiver Charles
new rulings have been issued by the
government officials in an effort to
check the operations of wildcat pro-
mOters
Mining engineers, however, consid-
er that one of the rulings will have
the effect of checking development
OF big mineral properties. They claim
one ruling marks the passing of the
prospector and means that prospect
ors can only lay claim to properties
where there are surface indications of
ore in paying quantities. The word
ing of this ruling is as follows:
Mineral found in surface rock
alone will not amount to a discovery
unless the same contains ore in pay
ing quantities. Discovery of mineral
cannot be claimed simply because the
surface indications, combined with ge
illogical inference, indicate that other
and unconnected lodes or veins are
at greater depth.
Rules for Valid Claims.
rp111n %
to holders of government mineral
lands read as follows:
'The following elements are neces-
sary to constitute a valid discovery
upon lode mining calm:
q. There must be a vein or lode
of quartz or other rock in place.
''2 The quartz or other rock i'm
place must carry gold or some other
valuable mineral deposit
'3. The two preceding elements,
when taken together, much be such
as to warrant a prudent man in the
expenditure of his time and money in
the effort to develop a valuable mine.
These are most important rul
ings," said Receiver Arnold Monday
to the Arizona Gazette. Their effect
is to preclude as far as possible the
filing of mineral claims for specula-
tive purposes by wildcat promoters"
Restricts Discovery.
Strict enforcement of the regula-
ton concerning surface prospects"
said a mining engineer, means that
many good properties can neither be
discovered nor mined. 1t means the
passing of the prospector and the loss
of his labors. | believe that the reg
ulations cannot be enforced, if
fight is made in the courts.
81 consider the ruling as absurd,
for the reason that it is we'll known
to all mining men that it is not fire.
quent that ore in paying quantities
is found on the surface. Many of the
great mines of Arizona were discov-
fact, modern mining to large extent
is based on geology and the inferen-
ces we draw from it,
81 am informed that the hope of
the government is that this ruling.
strictly enforced, will eliminate the
operations of the wildcat promoter.
This is a meritalble motive, but the
ruling is calculated to work a great
hardship on legitimate promoters and
check vast industry
