MACHINE GUN
 MEN ID MEET
Important Meeting is Called for Tonight at Board of Trade Building When New Organization Will B e Perfected

An important meeting of the first machine gun platoon to be organized in Arizona, to be attached to the National Guard of this state, is called
 for this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the board of trade building. At that time members will be sworn into service. Captain Oscar Temple probably of ficiatng at that ceremony.
 There are already fifteen men ready for the platoon, and this leaves fif- teen other places to be filled. The greatest care is being exercised in the selection of the men for the platoon, as it is the intention of Adjutant Gen eraI Harris. one of the active support CTS of the movement, that one day the Phoenix platoon shall be the crack military body of the state. In order to accomplish this, special care will be taken in the selection of the per sonnel.
 Sergeant L. NJ Mckinley, with of fees in room l, old postoffice build ing, is the recruiting officer in charge of the organization. and applications may be made to him for information regarding the work and the scope of the platoon. All young men of good moral character and physically quali fled are urged to communicate with him today or to attend the meeting this evening.
 It is expected that the full equip ment for the platoon will arrive here within the next two or three days. This will consist of two of the latest model automatic machine rifles, with pack outfits and accessories. Each machine gun platoon is provided with two rifles, each with a firing capacity of 400 shots per minute, together with ammunition spare parts, tools and other accessories. The equipment for each platoon can be carried on six mules, constituting two sections of three each. The sections are essen tially complete units, although cer- tain articles are carried only in one.
 The guns, now on the way here, arc of the 30-caIiber, model of 1909, and belong to the type of automatic arms known as the gas operative. The power that is used to operate the mechanism is obtained fro am small portion of the powder gases that enter through q port in the barrel after the bullet has passed After the first shot the rifle is self-operative. until the ammunition in the feed strip is exhausted or until the trigger is re leased.

AUSTRALIAN MINING
 ACCIDENTS IN 1912

In the mines, other than coal, of New South Wales during 1912, 31 men were killed and B seriously in
 jured. This is a death rate of 1.565 per 1000. and is slightly more than the average for the last five years. In Queensland the number of deaths was 26 and the number of accidents
 19S for the same year. This corre
 spends to a death rate of 2.45 per 1 900 and is the highest obtaining in Queensland since 1888. Of the 26 fatal accidents, occurred in shafts, II were due to falls of ground and , were the results of accidental eX- plosions. These figures, taken from the annual reports of the mining de rartments of the two states in ques- tion. show that Australia is far ahead of the United States in the question of mining safety Taking our death rate somewhere between four and five, it is evident that We have long way to go yet before attaining to the standard set by the southern commonwealth The cause is not far to seek Conditions in American mines are not essentially any more dangerous, and the character of our labor is as high or higher. It is simply that in Australia public opin- ion as reflected in the actions of the government, has done it's work. The great interest taken by tthe state governments in the question of safe tv is well evidenced in the reports mentioned. The Queensland report, for instance, contains a complete list and detailed analyses of all the acci- dents occurring during the year. the study of which is sure to be of the greatest value as indicating the lines along which accident prevention must move-Engineerin and Mining Jour al

 The government is endeavOring to set aside patents granted to Saunders more than ten years ago to certain mining claims in the northern part of the state These patents were after ward transferred by Saunders to the cattle company. It is alleged by the government that the ground was not located by Saunders for mining pur- poses as he averred in his application but for the purpose of obtaining pos session of several springs which lay within the ground he sought to patent These springs were attractive to the cattle company which is not in the mining business.
 On account of the widely scattered witnesses, the government has elected the appointment of an examiner to take the testimony of the witnesses in the cities and towns nearest their homes It is understood that the defendants will oppose the appointment of an ex- aminer preferring to bring the case at once to trial,

National Guard Team from This State Was But Thirty Points Behind Ore gon, Which Took Third Prize
 SOME INTER RESTING
 DATA RECEIVED Adjutant General Harris Re ceives Tables Showing In dividual and TWo-Man Team Records for Shoot at Camp Perry

With forty-five teams competing and forty-one states represented, Arizona has reason to feel proud of the record made by the National Guard team from this state which finished in tenth place in the recent National rifle meet at Camp Perry, ohio. And the fact that Arizona finished tenth does not mean that she was not a close conten- der for q place considerably nearer that of the winner, for she was but thirty points out of a possible 5000 behind the team to which was awarded third place. Arizona's record was 2576, out of a possible 5000 while the United States Cavalry, which made the highest score made but 2654. By this it will be seen that Arizona lacked but seventy eight points of tying with the winning team.
 Adjutant General Harris yesterday received q copy of the official records of the various teams both with refer ence to the totals as well as showing the records made by the individuals and the pairs in the team of twelve men competing for the prize from Ari- zona.
 In the table above is shown the in dividual and double scores of the Ari- zona team, while the totals for the forty-five teams in classes A, B and c were as follows.
