FIND VANADIUM.
(From Sundays Daily)

tfrom sundays Daily)
 Arrivals from the McCabe country yesterday brought news of the dis covery of vanadium orc on the l50- feet level of the Humboldt Consoli- dated mines. a three inch streak be- ing exposed of very high grade. The credit of this important discov- cry IS due James O'Brien, supcrin- tendent, who is in charge of the property during the absence of Dr. Bowen in Los Angeles. This min eral was developed in the earlier workings on this property but the yield was of little value and the streak passed out with further depth being reached What the extent of the vein will be is problematical. as only a few pounds have been taken out to date during the explo- ration for other ores.
 Vanadium is used principally for hardening steel, and is regarded as one of the rare metals of the coun- try. It is also valuable for chemi- cal purposes, and is in great de- mand by laboratories in providing certain remedy used extensively for kidney, tubercular and similar ills The Humboldt Consolidated enjoys the distinction of grade that is pronounced as decidedly val nable for it's purity

DOUGLAS. No Gambling for Money.

There is no gambling game goes on here. SO far as l know. where money is ever shown. The cry will always be that the game was for fun, if apprchended am aware of the fac, that every man who wants to get in the games goes first 10 the bar or to room away from that in which the game is being played. and pays for his chips. He then goes to the table and receives his chips. After he game is over he either cashes in 1t the bar. when no one is about, or has them cash cd by some one who was not play ing. We might sit and watch a game all night and still be unable to say that it was being played for money, even though we may be morally cer- tain that it is being played for a stake" said the Sheriff of Cochise county.
 Tt appears that the whole ques- ton of proof lies in the ability to swear that the chips represent a monetary value. This would be i'm. possible where you do not sec the money. If the law is not. as Mir. Gilmore claims. against poker play ing per sc, then I do not sec how we arc ever to make it effective"
 Want New County Seat Law.
 A petition is being generally sign ed in Douglas today asking Gov ernor Hunt to recommend an ann cndment to the state law whereby a county seat may be moved from one place to another by a majority vote of the people interested. and also to include the subject in his call for an extra session.
 If has long been known that it is practically impossible 10 move a county seat in Arizona under the existing law The statutes of other states are simply that majority of the people rule in such matters. and it has been thought here that such law cannot be opposed by any person in favor of government of for and by the people
 The petition mentioned particular. ly recites the facts with referenc, 10 the location of the present count, seat of Cochisc county. and state. that the conditions are of such { nature il might now or at some oth CT time be inc desire of the major fly of the people in the county to move it from Tombstone, and tha, in such an event the law should b, simply that a majority rule, as it |. elsewhere with reference to sucl matters. q,
