35th WEEK
Another Big Mining Deal

This week another mining deal
has been consumated whereby
Uncle" Geo. w. Phillips sells
his mining claims consisting of
nine in the Apache Box to John
W. Kniffin for Fifty Thousand
$3.50, 000) Dollars.
These big deals lately have set
the people in and around Duncan
wild with the gold fever" And
everybody IS highly elated over
the prospects it is bringing to
this nearby mining district.
These deals will, perhaps, be the
cause of breaking things loose'
and start the mining industry on
the road to prosperity.
There has been a long felt need
of capital in the district to give
the rich mineralized section a
mining boom. Other big things
may now follow in close success
sion.
This makes two big deals with
in a week, approximating a quar-
ter Of a million dollars.

Mr.. McCammant will retire
from the cattle business to his
recently purchased farm across
the river and Mr.. McKeehan will
continue in the business, fast
growing into southwestern
cattle king.

ernor will be open every working
hour every working day in the
year, and | think | may safely
say, many hours besides. And
when | say open, Imean open
to all alike to the rich and poor,
the high and low, the young and
old, of either sex, of whatever
race, of every religion and politi-
cal creed. BY none of these to-
kens shall preference be shown
to any visitor, nor by any of them
shall the rights of one individual
be appraised at higher valua-
ton than the rights of another.
My administration shall be a
business administration, in the
sense that government is busi-
ness, and to be successful must
be prudently, Systematically, en-
erge<ically and economically con-
Quoted. But government is the
peoples business all the peo-
ple's business and tshall be ad-
ministered in the interest of all
the people, not only for their
material and financial benefit.
betterment and protection, but
for their increased pleasure and
happiness.
To my mind it is not sufficient
that taxes shall be reduced, that
great enterprises shall flourish,
that culture shall increase all
worthy objects; it is more i'm
portant that whatever taxes may
be levied shall be wisely expend-
ed, for the benefit of all alike,
and that the burden thereof may
fall in just proportion upon the
shoulders of the rich and poor. 1t
is important that there shall be
exercised at all times a wise eco
nomy, but there can be no wiser
economy than to make of the citi-
zens of our State happy and
contented people, and | shall ask
no higher praise, when my ten
ure of Office shall be ended, than
to have it said that in some meas
ure | added to the happiness and
contentment-and therefore, in
its most tangible form the ad-
vancement of the citizenry of
the State. Many smaller duties,
to be sure, surround it, but this
| hold to be the one great duty
of government, and as the head
of Arizona's government | have
fixed my eyes upon it. How we'll
| shall succeed depends in great
measure upon the confidence, the
cooperation and support of the
people, and of that | hold no
fear.
Therefore, while | shall endeav-
or, as | have said, to- gain some
distinction for my administration
as business administration, it
shall not be dollar administra-
ton. With whatever of system,
economy and business ability we
shall proceed, the dollar will not
be placed above manhood, nor
wealth above humanity. The adj
vantages that come of a States
material richness shall be kept
ever in view, and the general de-
sire for government economically
administered have high place in
the administrations policy, but

may be instituted or recon-
mendation made giving practical
promise of great good to a great
number. without infringement up
onthe rights of others the thought
of expense, SO it be we'll within
the value of the promised benefit

tion of such reform or the pro-
mitigation of such recommended

Governors Address

Mr.. Justice, Governor and fell
low citizens:
In the name of the sovereign
people of Arizona, who gave it,
and who have at once the right
and the power to take it away, |
accept the responsibility confer
red upon me.
| accept it with a clear concep-
ton of it's immensity, keenly con-
scious of my own weakness and
inadequacy, but with perfect
faith that out of a determination
to serve faithfully will come COM
pensation for all personal short
comings, and of an honest desire
to reflect the peoples will a sue
cessful and beneficial admlnistra-
ton.
/ accept this responsibility not
vain-gloriously, but in verify hum
bled by the great honor it con-
veys, and with mind and heart
alive to the realization that in
failure that honor will be turned
to dishonor and the well done"
which signalizes race well run
becomes reproach and disgrace.
There is neither thought nor
desire in my mind that my ad-
ministration as the first Govern
or of the State of Arizona, shall
live in history as excelling the
administrations to come after. |
would rather here express, as |
hold the wish, that Arizona and
the governors she will hereafter
elect, may continue to be progress
sive, and that my administration
may simply be so patterned as to
encourage the growth of an ava
kened and continually awakening
public spirit and conscience, and
point the way for administrations
steadily broadening, enlarging
and developing.
| have neither hope nor ambi-
tion that it may be said of me in
after years that he was the
best Governor Arizona ever had, :"
but | have the hope, the ambition
and the determination to so dis
charge my public trust that it
will be said of me that he start
ed the State off right, and laid
true to line and plumb the first
bricks placed upon the sure foun-
dation of a Peoples Constitu-
ton.
Arizona is progressive and Ari-
zona is Democratic. This fact has
been clearly and simply demon
strated. | believe that | may
without egotism suggest that my
selection as the States first exc
cutive is in a sense, by reason of
the views | have held and freely
expressed, typical of that pro-
gressiveness, of that Democracy.
Whether this be true or not, it
can do no harm if I choose to as
sumo that such is the case, and
to strive, in turn, to typify in my
conduct in office, the States pro-
gressiveness and Democracy.
The incidents of Arizona's
struggle for Statehood, and the
steadfast devotion to principle
displayed by her people, have
been Cf a nature designed to give
her and them high rank among
the States and peoples classed as
progressive, and it is my hope
that her course may be so direct
ed and her affairs so attended as
to justify, in the years to come,
the faith her beginning has in
spired; that she may continue to
be the inspiration her first exam
pie has kindled; that her progress
siveness may be SO steady, so
consistent and so wise as to silen-
ce the carpings of skeptics, dis
credit the objections of critics,
confound the efforts of enemies
and light the way of true prog
