PERMANENT HOUSES
TO REPLACE TENTS

Hayden, Ariz., Sept. 2--The Ray
Consolidated Copper company has de-
cided to erect permanent dwellings to
take the place of the many tent houses
in Hayden. which have all been moved
to North Hayden
Hayden's schools have opened with
an enrolment of only Is. the majority
of Mexican children refusing to attend
until the truant officer cOmpels them
to do so. The census taken last spring
showed about ESQ children of the school
age in Hayden, and the local trustees
are of the opinion that nearly that
number are still residing here. PhilOs
Cooke, of Tucson, has been secured to
act as principal and will have full
charge of both the Hayden and san
Pedro schools. The San Pedro school
will be used for the Mexican scholars
only, Mr.. Cooke having had consider
able experience in teaching that class
of pupils will act in the capacity of
teacher there. Misses Sturgeon, Miller
and Woods will have charge of the
Hayden schools
YgnaciO Martinez, the Mexican who
was shot by the local deputy sheriff
a few days ago, has recovered to such
an extent that he was able to take a
walk yesterday. The local doctors are
unable to understand his case, as he
was pierced by four bullets, two Of
them taking effect in the lungs
