SCHOOL CENSUS FIGURES.

A comparison of the figures in the
report of State School Superimtend-
ent G. O. Case shows an increase in
the school census of 1912 over that
of 1911 of nearly nine per cent for
the entire state. The number of per-
sons of school age in the state this
year, not. allowing for the increase
since the fall terms opened, is A.
3S1, as against 1851 of 1911 or an
actual increase of 277O.
Yet with all these children attend
ing the schools there are more than
10000 Arizona children that do not
attend any school at ALL These fig
ures show an increase over what was
reported last year of some $50 or
more. The school authorities over
the state are rapidly seeking how
ever to place school house within
the reach OF each person of school
age within Arizona.

COTTON GIN TO
START NOV. lst

BLYTHE, California, Oct. 10. -
Between four and five hundred bales
Is the estimate that lis placed on the
Palo Verde valley cotton crop this
year. This is in spite of the fact
that the valley was subject to both
flood and drouth during the growing
season for cotton.
Practically every rancher in the va;
ley is picking at the present time.
Many thousands of pounds of cotton
are stacked in the fields waiting for
the opening of the gin. 1t is estimat-
ed that there will be over a hundred
bales already picked by the time the
ginning machinery is started the first
of November.
The picking of the cotton has in
many parts of the valley disclosed
that the crop will be much larger than
estimated month ago. Several fields
are running close to bale to the acre
while reports have been received that
some fields are running over the bale
to the acre mark.

VIDAL AGENT GONE CRAZY.

Duncan, the station agent for the
Santa Fe at Vidal, went mad last
Wednesday and nearly killed his wife
before help arrived from Blythe Jc
1t is reported that he dragged his
wife UP and down the railroad track
and beat and bruised her very badly.
Duncan was stark naked, and it was
with considerable difficulty that the
men summoned from Blythe Jc. were
able to secure him. Officers from
San Bernardino arrived Thursday
night and brought him to the county
seat, where he will probably be or
dered sent to the insane asylum.

principal parties interested being c.
H. Mcdonald a land owner of the

W. & O. MINES TO
START OPERATIONS

Ed Osborne. president and general
manager of the Wardwell- Osborne
Mining company, arrived Monday
night from Chicago, where he has
been spending the past few months.
He was accompanied by M. Sperling
Of Germany who also spends much of
his time i'm the big western metrOpO-
lis. Messrs. Osborne and SperMng
went out to the w. & o. mines
Wednesday on a trip of inspection.
Just as soon as. l can complete the
necessary arrangements" said Mr..
Osborne Tuesday evening, active
work at the w. & o. will be begun.
These arrangements will require a
few days, when the camp will be
ready for the working of a crew of
men. We will also have to make con
siderable improvements on the road
20 that we can begin making ship
ments. My plan is to contract with
an auto truck concern for the hauling
IF the ore to Parker We can guar.
antee large tonnage from THE w. &
0. and by SO doing the cost of trans
Dortation can be reduced to a mini
mum. We have great deal of high
grade copper ore for shipment and
our plan is to ship it, and as much
lower grade as can be gotten to the
;melter at profit.
There is probably not another mir
ing man in this section who has
done more for the industry in this
part of the state than Ed Osborne
He came into the district over fiji
teen years ago and ever since thai
time he has been identified with
the mines of this section The w. &
o. is his most valuable holding, anG
the affairs of this company have just
been put in condition for the inaug
Lration of extensive work.
Mr. Sperling who has come out from
the east, with Mr.. Osborne, is q
prominent citizen of Germany'S chie1
city. He has already made many
friends here, and the Commercial
club, an organization started about
three years ago for the sole purpose
of entertaining distinguished visi
tors. is arranging a luncheon to be
given in his honor upon the re
turn with Mr.. Osborne from the w

WORK ON ROAD
TO EMPIRE FLATS

J. P. Yagle,. secretary of the Gen
eral Securities company, the holding
corporation of the Arizona Copper
Mines company, arrived from Los An
geles Friday morning accompanied
by G. c. Gross of San francisco. Mr.
Yagle is here to make arrangements
for the repair of the road between
the mines and this place so that an
auto truck line can be established
for the shipment of 100 tons of ore
per day
A. G. Croninger, an expert traffic
engineer, went over the road the
first of the week and has made re-
port on it's reconstruction to the
General Securities company Mr.
Croninger is a tonnage expert and
als) investigated the ore supply of
the Arizona Empire. He was very en-
thuSiastic over what he saw at the
mines, and stated that it was the
greatest showing he had ever seen.
Mr.. Yagle stated to representa-
tive of this paper that it was not the
'ltention of the company to indefi-
njtely continue shipments by auto
truck. but that he confidently be-
lieved that within sixty days act
i've work would be begun on a spur
track to the property and very soon
thereafter construction of a smelter
would be started so that the inn
menSe tonnage of the mines could
be treated on the premises. Howev-
er, it is believed that with a good
road to Parker shipments by auto
truck on large scale will pay a
handsome profit on the ore.
G. e. Sheldon, also a representa-
tive of the General Securities com
pany, was a visitor here Thursday
and went out to the mines to look
over the property He left the same
evening for Kansas City on busi-
ness connected with the mines.
The progress being made at the
Arizona Empire and the future pros
poets for this property are very graf
flying to Parker, as it's operation
on the scale contemplated by it's
owners is bound to result in great
benefit to this place

PUBLIC LAND
SURVEYS FREE
TITLE CAN BE PERFECTED TO
LAND UNTIL OFFICIAL SUR
VEY HAS BEEN MADE-GET 1T
DONE NOW.

The national congress in the sun
dry civil expenses bill, passed shortly
before adjournment, added a new fea-
turc of expenditures for the interior
department, in adding an appropria-
ton of $25O,OOO for the use of the
several surveyors general in the Uni
ted States. Of this appropriation $25-
900 has been allotted to Arizona for
the purpose of surveying lands al
ready occupied and also of lands
adap:ed to agriculture, and lands
deemed advisable to survey on ac-
count of availability for irrigation or
dry farming.
This gives the settlers and farmers
of Arizona something for nothing in
thac an official survey of the govern
n4ent lands can be made by the sur
veyOr general of the state without
cost to the settler, and it will be an
official survey at that. While the as
ses5ors and county surveyors of the
various counties in the state appre-
ciate the value of the official U. s..
surveys: i. is not generally known
thar title can not be perfected to a
has been made; that those who To-
cas2 'lpCn unSurveyed land with the
intention of proving up under the
various forms of entry will subse,
quently have to conform their hold
ings to the official survey when made.
Thus i: can be readily understood
what he land officials of the country
mean when they say that surveys
and settlements go hand in hand
In this act, which was passed on
June 80 last, which provides for ex-
penses for the fiscal year ending
June 30 1913, and which was ap-
proved by the president on August "a
last, provision is made for lands oc-
cupied in whole or in part by actual
settlers, as we'll as under the condi-
tion of availability stated above.
This means that congress has set
aside certain moneys for the survey
of lands independent of actual settle
ment, something that is entirely new
to Arizona
Those who are interested in certain
townships, township or even portions
of townships may by promptly apply
ing to the surveyor general of Ari-
zona obtain a survey thereof
In regard to the exact procedure,
the surveyor general states that no
detailed instructions. have thus far
been received, but suggests that the
application give all possible informa-
tion about the land til4at may have
bearing on its availability 'for irri-
cation or dry farming" That the
facts be stated as personal knowl-
edge, and the whole subscribed to
before notary public. The more
applications or subscribers, the more
apt is authorization for survey to be
made.

ion lands.

GEO. MITCHELL
SUES CLRA CON.
FORMER PRESIDENT OF CLARA
CON. MINING COMPANY DE-
cLAREs THERE Is $4,000 DUE
HIM-Asks FOR ACCOUNTING.

The Clara Consolidated Gold and
Mining company is in litigation again.
Saturday a bill in equity was filed
in United States court by Judge j. J.
Hawkins for George Mitchell, the
former head of the company and at
present one of it's directors, demand
ing an accounting.
1t is alleged in the bill that the
plaintiff was director of the company
since July, 1908, and that during that
time he was president of the board
of directors. During his active con-
nection with the company ending
with reorganization last May, it is
alleged that he advanced to it a sum
in excess of $775,000 and that there
remains unpaid to him about SIS, 900
Just how much he advanced and
how much he received he does not
know for there has never been an ac-
counting. His accounts with the CON-
pany are still open and all books and
papers are in the hands of the de-
fendant.
At the same time there was filed
for Mary Mitchell against the same
defendant and the Swansea Gold and
Copper company, suit in ejectment
In this action there are involved
several mining claims in the Har-
cuvar mining district which were tax
en- over by the Clara Consolidated at
the time of the reorganization and
the settlement of its troubled affairs
on May 26 last. 1t is claimed that
this property belonged to the plain
tiff. The value of the claims is
placed at $25, 600 and the rental of
them at 5000 month
The troubles of the Clara Consoli-
dated began about a year ago when
operations were suspended, it was
understood at the time, for want of
funds and MI Mitchell. who was in
charge of operations, went to Bel
gium and France, where most of the
;tock was held. to raise more money.
Late last year bankruptcy pro-
ceedings were begun by several en-
Dloyes of the company, whose claims
were merged, and these proceedings
dragged in the court of Pima county
where they had begun until early in
the present year when an order in
| lankruptcy was made
Meanwhile Dutch and French cap
italists had been interested in the af-
fairs of the company and sufficient
money was raised for reorganization
on a sound basis. Early in May Ca
mile Clerc,a noted mining expert of
France, and a Dutch banker of Am
sterdam, representing the new Euro
pean interests, arrived and a settle
ment of the claims of the creditors
was arranged and Mr.. Clerc took
charge of the property.
Since assuming charge of the Clara
Manager Clerc has succeeded in car
rying on developments on good
scale. The smelter is turning out
bullion that is going far toward pay
ing for the development work now in
progress.
1t is not believed that the litigation
instituted by George Mitchell will
affect the operation of the property

VISITING MINING MAN.

j. W. Walker, who has operated
mines in various portions of the west

Mr.. Walker stated after his trip to
the mines that the company had one

few days and examine other prop
critics contiguous to this district.

HEIRS OF COMMON
 LAW WIFE IN SUIT
International Questions ln- vOlved in Action Brought
 in Montgomery Court

Nonteomery. February 4.-(Specia1. )-In- ternational pyroteohnics are expected to develop as a result of action of the late Peter M. Nicrosi, one time of Mont gomery, in taking a common law wife in the year 1884, according to suits which are now pending in the United States court. The proceedings are instituted by four persons who call themselves South, all of whom allege that they are heirs of the deceased Nicrosi, and when he died left an estate commonly valued at S250. coo without legitimate offspring.
 Papers filed in the United States court invoke the laws of France, the deceased Nicrosi being of that nativity. It seems from these papers that Nicrosi entered into an agreement with woman in the year 1884 to live with her as husband and wife. It is alleged that this com raderie was continued until the death of the deceased, about 1SsS in good faith and understanding. Shortly after his de- mise, it seems, brothers of Peter Nj crosi paid to the common law wife the sum of S20o0 to prevent prosecution, but inc heirs now think that the sum should have been greater. le
 The law in France, according to al4 legations, entities illesitimate heirs to three-fourths of an estate, when legitl- mate offspring is denied a parent. All of the heirs it seems, live in St. Louis.
 Demurrers in the case have been sub mitted before Judge Thomas G. Jones, who has the matter under advisement.

First Not Satisfied

The first Mrs. Larkin, by the way, is not yet satisfied the William r. Larlin pro duced by the insurance companies is her husband. She wants more conclusive proof than has been presented before she will consent to relinquish the money she eol- lected in the belief her husband vas dead.
 This proof the insurance companies do not seemed disposed to furnish.
 Justice Gerard has issued an order com manding the appearance of Lorkin in court and the production of proof of his iden- tity. Apparently it had been the hope of the insurance company attorneys 10 avoid publicity, for Larkin was surprised al- most into a faint today when he was To- cated
 Mrs. Larkin did not collect her life in- surance until about a year ago. when she was in the office of the New York Life seeking to negotiate loan on a policy on her own life. During the 15 years sue ceeding her husband disappearance she had regularly paid the premium on the S1O00 policy in the New York Life aud the s5s0 policy in the Metropolitan.
 She was referred as to her loan to MT Commings of counsel for the New York Life, who suggested she might collect oi the policy on her husbands life. He sait the company had spent nearly $l000 r searching for Larkin and had been un. able to find him.

PULLMAN FARMER
 IS AGAIN PAROLEO

Montgomery, February f.-tspecial) Originally paroled on october 2S 1911, in order that he might go home and be with some of the members of his family who were i'll, and later having his parole extended for another period on account fthe continued illness in his home, M. M. Gregory, white man of Cullman county, serving a sentence of eleven years in the state peniten- tiary for manslaughter, has for the third time received executive clemency, this time being paroled on account of the serious Illness of one of his chill dren.
 The story is a sad one. Gregory was sent up about six years ago for man. slaughter in Cullman county. So Tar as has been ascertained, Gregory prov ed a good prisoner-a trusted one and when word was brought to him last October that his wife was seriously i'll, his friends secured for him parole in order that he might go home and be with his wife during her illness.
 The recovery of the stricken wife was not as speedy as the friends of the family wished, and Gregory's people eX- pred before his wife showed any ma terial improvement A second appeal was made to the governor of the state, with the result that the parole of the prisoner was extended for another thir- ty days.
 During the second parole Gregory had the greater misfortune to see one of his children stricken with illness, while the wife had not yet recovered. Filled with grief, and torn with anxiety over his additional misfortune Gregory made a third appeal to the governor.
 The appeal was answered by the gov ernor, and Gregory was sent home with executive sanction to spend an other thirty days with his family.
