The Wind.

! saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky,
And all around heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass;
o wind, a blowing all night long!
o wind. that blows so loud a song!
l saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid,
] felt you push, heard you call,
! could not see yourself at all
o wind, ALLOWING all night long!
o wind, that blows so loud a song!
o you that are so strong and cold,
o blower, are you young or old?
Are you beast of field or tree.
Or just stronger child than me?
o wind, ALLOWING all night long!
o wind, that sings so loud song.

WARNING TO POTATO GROWERS.
impaired Potatoes May Bring The
Dreaded Wart Disease.
The short crop of Irish potatoes in
the United States last year has led ia
the importation Of large quantities of
European potatoes. Much of the i'm
portations are from regions infected
with the p.tato wart disease, a dis
ease much more destructive to the
potato than any of our blights or
scab. 1t converts the tubprs into a
rough, unsightly mass, and in many
parts of Europe it has seriously dam
aged the potato industry. 1t has
spread over Europe in recent past
and has already appeared on this side
of the Atlantic in newfoundland.
Canada has qua rantined against
regions in Europe and newfoundland
infected with this disease, and be-
cause the United States has no law
to prevent the introduction of pota-
toes from infected countries, Canada
is now also barring out our potatoes
as a necessary means of keeping the
disease out of her fields.
Maryland potato growers should
take warning not to plant any i'm
ported potatoes as they may contain
the disease without it being seen. If
the disease appears once in our fields
it will be practically impossible to
eradicate it.

are the greatest Egg Producers known. The
young grow rapidly and reach market size in
9 or 10 weeks. Water is not at all necessary
except for drinking purposes. They are free
from lice, roup, scabby legs, and other dis
eases so common to chickens. When Matched
they are as good as raised. They lay the year

LOCAL ROAD HIRES
 EXTRA MEN ID
 MEET LAW ,. ! !
Six New Positions Created on A. & N. M. When Full Crew Law Went In-
 to Effect Last Saturday by the
 Proclamation of the Gov ernor.

Upon the issuance of the proclama- tion by Governor Hunt on Saturday last the A. & N. M. R. R. was pre- pared to comply with all the provis- ions of what are known as the rail road laws" passed by the legislature and voted favorably upon by the voters at the last election.
 Approximately six new positions were created by the full train cre& law. Heretofore the A. & N. M. has employed two brakemen and a conductor on freight trains running between Hachita and Clifton. Under the new law it was necessary to add flag man. to the crew, who is in reality a brakeman, and must have had one years experience before he is eligible for the position.
 The law requiring training for engin- eers and conductors and train limit law will not effect the A. & N. M.
 The law requiring a certain kind of head light will not become effective for six months. The A. & N. M. engines, with the exception of two or three are already equipped with the kind of headlights specified in the Act.

THE LEZYNSkY GROUP.

Development work on a large scale is to be commenced immediately on the Lezynsky group of claims and ac- cording to report between five and ten thousand dollars per month is to be expended in systematic development work.
 For the purpose of directing the work in the beginning MT. H. A. Kel- Ter, a mining engineer, arrived in Clifton this week from New York City and has been engaged since his arrival in looking over the property.
 MT. Keller is a mining engineer of high repute and a consulting engineer for the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com pany. MT. Keller is accompanied by his wife and are guests at the Clifton Hotel.
 In this connection it is also stated that development work on a larger scale is to be prosecuted on the proper ty of the Stevens Copper Company.
 It is reasonable to suppose that in the near future mining investors who are paying particular attention to Ari- zona at present will be making their appearance in this district, the equal of any in the state.

.EST|MATEOFC COPPER FOR CURRENT
 YEAR
Arizona's Production Will Approach 350,000 Pounds Says John R.
 Hampton.

"Arizona's copper production for 1912 probably will be nearer 35O,003.- 900 pounds than 325, 100000"
 This prediction, made today by John R. Hampton of Clifton, is based on figures and reports in MT Hamp- tons possession.
 Few men in Arizona follow the trend of the mining industry more closely than MT. Hampton. He keeps right up to date on latest develop ments and on production. For this reason his prediction has the weight of authority behind it.
 The production of Arizona for 1911 was, in round figures, 300,000,000 pounds. MT. Hampton declares that this years total is certain to be much greater All the important mines that were producing in 1911 are still in the producing column, and most of them have increased their production. Many shippers have been added to the list. (
 In the Clifton-Morenci district, Mir. Hampton says, the production will be between four and five million pounds greater than it was in 1911. The Bisbee districts production will be increased by several million
 
 Globe-Miami districts is quite high.
 Until one sits down and begins to figure out just what this means he does not realize what a rich state Arizona is,' said Mr.. Hampon. T estimate that the population of Ari- zona, including Indians, was, 100000 last year. Figuring copper at seven teen cents, the value of the produc- ton for 1911 was over $250 per capita. 1,-I- |. 1rr< was nearly $500 per capita. ~
 This year there has been a slight increase in population, of course, but the increase in copper production will be in greater ratio.
 Arizona was far ahead of all other states in copper production last year and in 1912 she is sure to increase her lead materially. I do not think she will ever again be passed by any state of the union, and 1t is not Iile7 ly that she will be passed ay any for eign nation
 --~AIE.- H2m4fon has just returned from a business trip to Washington and he declares that throughout the east he found business conditions most satisfactory. He spoke with number of persons and they all seemed to think that the democratic administration will do nothing radi- cal to disturb the business interests There will be changes, but all legis- lation will be well considered. The aim of the Wilson administration will be to give "big business,'' as well as the poor man, a square deal. The business that is conducted properly has nothing to fear from the new president.
 There will be less disturbance of business than there has ever been on the occasion of an administration change" MT. Hampton said. MT. Hampton will leave this evening for his home in Clifton.

ENGINEER IS REP0RIEQ DEAD
 IN SONORA
Story Comes Via Los Angeles That They Were Killed By Hostile Va
 qufs Two Weeks Ago.

The United States Press on Tues day afternoon carried a story to the effect that James Little and William Bailey have bene murdered in the Va qui river country by the Yaqui In- dians. The story comse in a round about way, and it is impossible to posi- lively confirm it, but the United Press claims it is true. A telegram from Los Angeles late this afternoon seems to corroborate this story. The two men are mining engineers for the Greene-Cananea Mining company, and two weeks ago went into the Yaqui country to examine some mining property. They were heard from Ut Hermosillo, where they attempted to secure transportation to the property, but since have dropped out of sight, and it is more than probable the United Press story is correct, as it is known that the country in which they had business is overrun with hos tile Yaqui Indians.

WORLD COPPER SUPPLY.
Senator Clark Says Only Two Months
 Production on Hand.

Washington, D. O., Dec. 10.-For- mer Senator w. A. Clark, authority on copper, made the statement here that only two months visible supply of copper is on hand throughout the world. Senator Clak said:
 "The situation on copper" said he, ''is very satisfactory jus now with the prospects exceedingly bright, even though it is a little dull at present. If the European war trouble is sat isfactorily settled soon the demand for copper will grow in production.
 Tt may surprise you to know that there are but two months visible supply of copper in the world today. If that was the case with wheat, in- stead of with copper it would be mighty serious for the country. Ger many, being the largest copper con- sumer, will lead the demand for cop per as soon as the Balkan trouble is settled.
 "The situation in the Near East may possibly interfere with the situa- ton for a time. The producers of copper are not anxious to see the price of copper increase, for just as sure as copper becomes high so will something be invented or discovered to take the place of copper"
 The statement of copper producers for November show an increase of stock on hand of 9,419,O95 pounds, compared with the previous month.

The Club dance on Saturday night was not as well attended by local peo- pie as many previous ones owing to the severe cold weather but the lack in numbers locally was made up by, a jolly crowd of young men who were down from Metcalf and were enter tained by Club friends at the hop. Dur ing the evening a business meeting was called and new officers elected, the old ones retiring on accuont of pressing business. The newly elect ed officers are: Dr. l.. A. w. Burch, President; John R. Hampton, Vice

HACHITA HAS BIG FIRE.
Five Adobe Buildings Go Up in Smoke
 With Loss of $5,O00.

Friday, November 18th, disastrous fire swept Hachita It started in a res taurant leased from Jesse B. Hill by a man named Frank Allen and destroyed five adobe buildings. Strenuous work by the citizens succeeded in stopping it's progress eastward and saving the two story hotel owned by c. F. Dun- negan, although it was on fire several times. The five buildings belonged to John Muir. The loss was over $5,000, with about $2,0O0 insurance
 The fire was started, it is claimed, by Allen, who had been ordered by Hill to vacate the premises he occu- pied or to pay the rent which was overdue. Allen is reported to have bought a five gallon can of gasoline and turning it loose on the floor set fire to it. He was arrested and given a preliminary hearing and sent up to await the action of the grand jury. Not being able to give bail, he was taken to the county jail in Silver city by Sheriff McGrath.

State Tax Commission Devises Sys-
 tenn of Value to Counties.
 Thousands of dollars will be saved the counties of Arizona by the new form of assessment and tax roll pre- pared by the state tax commission. Copies have been prepared and are being sent out by the commission to- day.
 Heretofore the assessment and tax roll was made up and then copied into another book, in slightly different form. The second book was called the duplicate, though it was not ex- actly that. Cochise county and Mari copa county spent about 5000 annual ly for the making of the duplicates, which had to be copied laborously. The smaller counties also incurred heavy expense for this work.
 Hereafter there will be only one roll for each county. The description of property is first written in and the taxes are carried right on out from that.

Approximately ss3a, ,o0o, ,ooo in Salaries to Be Paid to Employees Appointed
 by President Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4-''Wanted: Il ,O00 good Democrats to fill 11,OO0 positions on the pay roll of Uncle Sam. Apply to Woodrow Wilson, 160o Pennsylvania avenue, after March f. next.
 President-to-be Wilson probably will not insert that want ad" in the newspapers, although he might for there are practically 11,00O federal of fees which are filled by appointment ; of the president With the shifting of the administration in the White House from Republican to Democrat ic hands, it is expected will come change in practically every one of these places.
 If the jobs carry an average salary of S3,000 year, and that estimate is regarded as conservative, this will in- volve the distribution of s33,OOO, ,OOn of federal pie. President Wilson can reward quite a multitude of hungry party workers in this distribution, but he can also cause lot of heartburns for those who are not successful in the scramble for the pie.
 Number of Employees.
 After President Wilson has made his selections for these 11,000 places he might look over the roll of about 100000 other employees of Uncle Sam and determine how many of these he desires to replace. Most of this vast army of workers, however, are under the civil service regulations, and to replace them with men of different political faith would probably mean the cutting of some pretty sharp corners, and juggling with the law. cMany Appointments.
 Under the treasury department there are 736 presidential appoint according to the figures compiled in December. 1910. Of these, 30 are de partmental officers in Washington, 3 assistant treasurers, 122 collectors of customs, assistant collectors of GUS toms, Al surveyors of customs, naval officers of customs, general appraisers, IT appraisers of merchan- disc, 21 assistant appraisers of mer- chandise, 4 examiners of drugs, med;- cines and chemicals; 67 collectors of internal revenue, 26 mint and assay offices, PAP revenue cutter officers andg 133 public health service officers. The collectorships are rega1 ded as legitimate rewards for faithful party service, and already the applicants for these places. scattered through out the country, are springing up like mushrooms.
 Department of Justice.
 Under the department of justice there are 3S3 appointments subject to the approval of the senate and S46 within the sole control of the presi- dent. There. are some choice posi- tions included in this number, such as judges of the United States sup reme court, the 5 judges of the court of customs appeals and the IT judges that sit on the benches of the Dis trict of Columbia courts. But, in ad- dition, there were at the close of 1910 34 circuit court judges, 91 district judges, 35 territorial judges, S6 Unit ed States district attorneys, S6 Unit ed States marshals and IA officials of the department here in Washing ton. The appointments not subject to the senate confirmation include 800 notaries public in the District of Columbia, 30 commissioners of deeds in the District and 16 trustees of the
