Thus the mortal remains OF the discov.
erer OF America, fttingly honored and
guarded. will be present ct the celebration
OF the opening of the Panama Canal. the
most momentous event in Central Amer.
lea since the discovery of our continent.
There has been considerable contro-
versy as to whether the ancient casket
lying in San Domingo Cathedral and bear
ing the name Of Columbus really contained
his bones. The exposition commissioners
conducted careful inquiry into the sub.
ject and were satisfied that these were
the discoveries bones. They obtained the
consent of the Republic of San Domingo
to borrow them during the Exposition, and
then carried them away to San Francisco.
The facts ascertained In the course Of
this investigation are here summarized.
Columbus died on May q, 1906. at Valla-
dohd, dn Spain. He was buried in the
Franciscan convent there. Three years
later his body was taken 10 the Carthusian
Convent at Santa Maria de las Cuevas, In
Seville. In the will which he made just
before his death Columbus expressed
Wish to be laid TO rest In the island of
Hayti, or Hispaniola, where he had estab.
lished the first settlement. Forty years
Later this wish was carried out. Docu-
:ments which have been preserved show
that the bones of the admiral were depos-
tied in 1549 under the altar of the Cattle
'dral of San Domingo. in Hayti.

CLIFTON STUDENTS
Leave University For Summer Eac5
tions At Home.

TUCSON, Ariz, May 31.Rytha Back
stein, of Clifton, left for her. horne
today, having finished two years work
in the University of Arizona. Miss
Rytha is especially interested in life
sciences, though she is Specializing
in German, which she spoke before
she knew anything about Englie.n
She has given three years to the
study of French, reading and transla1-
ing it with f1uency, speaks it with
hesitating difficulty, because her ear
has not heard the sounds of it suffi-
ciently to become familiar with IL.
She has discovered one of the great
reasons why so few Americans can
speak the modern languages, it is be-
cause they nave not heard them
spoken; the ear readily accepts what
it hears. Hardly a child in Arizona
but speaks Spanish, if it has as play
mates Mexican children, and for that
reason when they begin the study of
Spanish it is very easy, if they give
any sort of time to it. Miss Rytha
has been an active member in the
Girls Literary Society, THE Wrang-
ler," which obtained it's name not
from the word as used among cattle
men, meaning the one who gathers
in the horses for the rest of the cat
tlemen on big cattle ranch, but II
was adopted because the club was
first a debating club, participated in
by three different classes, each in
turn demanding al1-or "Wranglin1'
over small things, when the girls
adopted the club rooms as their s:,e-
cial meeting place, and the debaters
left, they called themselves the
Wranglers in honor of the legacy he
queathed them. Miss Rytha l. a
great favorite with the student body,
and hopes to graduate in the class of
1914 y
J. M. Jones, also of this city has
completed his first years work in
the department of civil engineering
He will work all summer and return
to the University in the fall, hoping
to graduate with the class of 1915,
when he will give his best efforts to
the work in his chosen life occupation,
that of civil engineer. He enjoy
ed the work in English Literature
under Miss Perry, who came to the
University of Arizona from ten years
experience in teaching in Wellesley
and one year at Berkeley. Jones is

APACHE BOX.
Change of Ownership Is Soon To Be
Recorded.

Mining operations in the east end
of the county are being conducted
with unusual energy. New strikes,
that indicate great richness, especial
ly of gold, have lately been made, and
the general opinion is that powerful
corporations will soon enter the field
for systematic development. For
instance, the Apache Box mine is now
considered to be one of the most
promising prospects in Arizona. IL
is said that the development work al
this mine has discovered a vein Of
gold ore of such richness that the
percentage is high. enough to make
fabulous return. Messrs. w. p.
Craig and T. o. Phillips, two Of the
owners of this mine, were in Duncan
this week; they are authority for
the statement that extensive opera
ions have been in progress there ior
some time, and that rapid develor
ment is now assured. The Apache
Box canyon is now reverberating the
sounds of continuous blasting. 1t is
learned that a change in ownership
will soon be recorded concerning this
property.

PR0HlBE[l0AISTS
WIN MAR|C0PACO.
EXCEPT PHOENIX

PHOENIX.-Everything dry in
Maricopa county except Phoenix and
that so wet that an umbrella is need.
ed today to keep out the moisture.
Yeserday's election was hot one
in every Incorporated city in the
county, while little interest was evi-
denced in the rural communities,
where the prohibition element is so
overwhelming that the few 'twets''
use for them to liven up.
Voting for the first time, the wo-
men of Phoenix took unusual interest
in yesterdays contest. From results,
it appears that the woman vote was
pretty equally divided between wet
and dry.
The total vote of the seven voting
precincts in Phoenix was 1880. The
prohibitionists received 2O14 of these
and the antis mustered 1856, giving
those who favor high licensed saloons
a majority of S52 votes in the city.
In Mesa the contest was extremely
close and it was announced in Phoenix
about s o'clock last evening that the
town had gone wet by six or seven
votes, but when all the ballots were
counted in it was found that the pro-
hibition vote was 262 and the wet
vote 254, giving the ''drys" a majority
of eight ballots. In Tempe the pro-
hibition victory was overwhelming,
coming as a great surprise to many
local people who seemed to feel the
town would go against prohibition
The vote in Tempe was 300 for pro-
hibition and 152 against, giving the
prohibs a clear majority of 14S. At
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Curt
Miller, editor of the Tempe News, i'll
formed the Democrat over the long
distance telephone that the town had
unquestionalbly gone dry, but Miller
did not figure the majority as large
as it turned out to be.
In Glendale, where there was never
any doubt of the outcome, the pro-
hibitionists mustered 1S1 votes, as
against SO for the 'wets" giving the
prohibs a majority of 142 votes
Early in the day it was announced
from Chandler that the town would
go wet by a small majority, but the
reverse proved to be true, for when
the votes were counted it was found
that the prohibitionists had 46 as
against 80 wet votes, giving the ''drys"
a majority of 16 ballots.
Wickenburg was another town that
many people thought would go wet,
but instead of coming out as the
wiseacreS said it would, the town
went dry by a.majority of II, the vote
being II for prohibition as against 64
for open saloons.
Every other part of Maricopa county
outside of the city of Phoenix, went
dry as a bone.

MEXICAN CHECK s
Comes To Grief at Duncan Last Week.

The White Front Saloon and High
tower & Wynhom livery barns at
Duncan were victimized last week
by cashing worthless checks for a
Mexican named Julio Brito, who rep
resented to the victims that he was
employed by Mr.. S. D. Corley of
Steeple Rock, N. M, in sinking
mine shaft. The total amount Sc
cured by this apt son of the Axtecs
was $4,000, $4,000 from Mr. Sherman
Stewart of the White Front Saloon,
and $500 from the other parties. The
possessors of the checks grew dubious
and communicated with Mr.. Corley,
who informed them that he had not
instructed the Mexican to draw Cn
his bank account for any amount.
The Mexican signed the name OF Mr.
Corley and below signed his own He
