ArizOna's Mineral Resources

Survey is we'll represented in
Arizona this year in the investi-
cation of it's mineral wealth and
resources. The output of Ariz-
ona's mines constitutes an i'm
portant feature of the annual
statements of mineral produc-
tion for the United States, and
each year geologists and engine
ers are looking for new facts to
put into their reports.
The Geological Survey is pri-
marily a field organization, and
its field work embraces studies
of geology, topography and
water-resources. The following
brief outline of the work being
done this season by the Survey
in Arizona will be of interest.
Arizona, in common with other
public land States, is getting a
much larger share of attention
from the Geological Survey than
some of the older states of the
East, on account largely of the
need of information for the class
ification of the public lands which
is in progress. Although little
geological work has been done
in the State during the present
season, it is expected that F. L,
Ransome will visit the Miami
and Ray copper districts next
spring to complete the data for
his report on the geology of the
copper ores. He will probably
also do some reconnaissance work
with a view to the preparation of
a general report on the geology
and ore deposits of Arizona.
This work however, will not be
completed for two or three years
at the earliest. During the winter
F. G. Schrader will examine the
lands of the Colorado River In
dian Reservation in order to
classify them, for the Indian Of
flee. Investigations in Arizona.
the field work for which has been
done but the results of which are
not yet published, will lead to a
report on the ore deposits of the
Patagonia and Santa Rita Mount
aims by F. C. Schrader; a report
on the geology and ore deposits
OF the Tombstone District by F.
l.. Ransome; the Tucson folio by
e. f. Tolman, Jr.; and the Ray
folio by F. L. Ransome.
The work of collecting stat
lstlcs and information on the
mining industries and concerning
the precious and semi-precious
metal resources of Arizona and
reporting on new mining develop
ments will be done by V. C.
Heikes, a statistcian of the
Survey, whose headquarters are
in Salt Lake City. The results
of this work will be published in
the volume of Mineral Resources
of the United States for 1913.
Topographic mapping will be
commenced in the fall in the
Pearce 30-minute quadrangle,
in Cochise Country, a portion of
it lying within the Chiricahua
National Forest. The quadrangle
has an aera of about /, OH square
miles. This mapping will include
the detailed surveys necessary to
prepare a map which will show
all rivers, towns, roads and rail-
roads, as well as the surface re-
lief Of the country, the last being
shown by means OF 1OO-foot con-
tour lines. The completed map
will be engraved on the scale of
two miles to one inch and will
probably not be ready for distri-
button for two years after its
completion.

of the United States Geological
Survey, in cooperation with the

FAIR NOTES

to take up the final details in re-
gard to the Ninth Annual State
Fair, which from the present out
look willsbe the greatest fair in
the history of the state.
On September 22nd the books
were opened for box reservations,
and there were applications for
every box in the grand stand,
with some twenty or thirty more
than could be supplied.
Some ten or a dozen boxes may
be built, but not near enough to
supply the demand. Next year
when there will probably be built
another addition to the grand
stand, the supply may equal the
demand.
The fame of the fair is grow
ing, and is not confined to the
state, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Horse
Review:
THE ARIZONA STATE FAIR"
AS everyone knows, this great
state fair and racing carnival, the
week of NoY. 3-8, closes the Great
Weatern Circuit and the season
OF racing on the frst-class mile
tracts. Only a few years ago
Phoenix was not on the map as
a trotting town, but now it IS the
biggest stop between the Missis-
sippi River and the Rockey
Mountains, as its track is one of
the fastest in the world, some say
the fastest, it's weather is fam
iOus the world oyer for it's pre-
fection, and the liberal way in
which the horsemen are treated
has become proverbial.'
The Western Horseman pre-
dicted some months ago that the
Arizona State Fair track would
from now on be the greatest
meeting place and battle grounds
between the eastern and western
horsemen. This fight will per
haps reach it's crux in the Free
for All pace, where the great
mare 'Leata ], "2:02, the sensa-
tion of the Grand Circuit this
year, will meet Don Pronto,
2:023, Joe Patchen H." 2:034,
and perhaps Jim Logan, "2:O34,
and King Daphne, !" 2:O41.
Minnie Chimes. 2:O44, the
great sensation of last year is
also entered in the State Fair
races, Jimmie McVay says he
proposes to take the scaIps of all
to decorate his den at Hutchison,
Kansas.
Also Pop" Geers has about
made up his mind to bring
Anvil" !" 2:044, for the purpose
Of giving him the stallion record
for 1913.
"AnviP' is considered one of
the greatest horses on the Grand
Circuit, and he and ''Pop" Geers
love each other like brothers.
Anvil is owned by Frank
Jones, the Tennessee millionaire
horseman, and money is no item
to Mr.. Jones if he can get a
record to suit him. This the
greatest tribute that perhaps
was ever paid a race track, when
a single horse will be sent so far
at such an expense to get such a
record.
This year the Phoenix Board
of Trade has guaranteed $4,000
purse, known to be the Phoenix
Board of Trade Stake, PIP trot;
and the different copper COM
panies have contributed towards
a stake, known as the Copper
Stake, this year designated as
the 2:10 pace.

ona Copper Company of Bisbee,

SCHOOL LANDS.
WILL Be SOLD
SCHOOL LANDS OF cAss COUNTY,
RECENTLY APPRAISED. TO BE
PUT ON MARKET IN ABOUT.
TWO MoNTHs-lN FOUR TOWN
SHIPS DRAINAGE TAX APPLIES.

After a great deaI of effort on the
part of Addison Leech, county auditor.
the board of university and school
lands has ruled that from henceforth
the drainage tax on school lands in
Wiser, Noble, Gardner, and Gunkle
townships may be paid by assessment
on the owner of the land. when it is
sold.
This is a thing that the county audi
tor has been working on for a long
time. The matter was first taken up
before the board Of university and
school lands. and the land commits
sioner. but they were unable to do
anything in the case, and an effort was
made to get a legislative ~appropria-
ton to v the amount necessary for
the construction and maintenance of
the drainage bitches in the northern
part Of Cass county. The senate COM
mittee On appropriations turned down
the proposition and the county found
itself no better off than before.
Recently the school lands of the
county were appraised by Mr.. Leech
err OF not the lands should be sold this
fall was taken up with the board at
Bismarck. 1t. has just been announc-
ed that the lands will be sold as soon
as the preliminary arrangements can
be made. The sale will not take place
before the middle of December, and it
may be considerably later than that.
The appraised valuation will be the
minimum price for which they will be
sold, and those in the above mention
ed counties will, according to the new
ruling, be sold subject to the drainage
assessment, which will vary from $1.25
to So per acre, with ten years in which
to pay.

STATE HUNTERS
MUCH EXCITED
NORTH DAKOTA HUNTERS ARE
GREATLY EXCITED OVER NEW
FEDERAL GAME LAWS REGARD
ING SUNDAY SHOOTING LAW
SIMILAR TO SUNDAY BASEBALL.

Because the summary Of the diff
ferent state game laws, issued by the
federal officials, contained a notice of
certain states in which Sunday shoot
ing was barred, there is some excite
ment among North Dakota shooters
as this state was n that was in
Guided. T.:
Technically, shooting on Sunday is
a violation Of the law, just like Sunday
baseball or any other amusements in
this state. But there is nothing eth
er in the North Dakota or the federal
law against Sunday shooting and as
far as the wardens are concerned there
will be no attempt to stop shooting on
that day.
Any mar who shoots on Sunday
would be subject to prosecution on
complaint of some person much the
same way as a ball player who par
ticipated in a Sunday game might be
taken into custody, but such arrests
are unlikely to ccu The accused
would no doubt demand a jury trial
and the practice is so general no set
of peers'' would be likely to convict. y
