THE MINING LAWS
 NEED NO REVISION
From Thursdays Daiiy,

PHOENIX, Feb. l2-Representa- tive Perry Hall, of Yavapai County, who is Chairman of the House Com mittee on Mines and Mining, and himself a practical miner is respon- sible for the statement that the ex isting Mining Code of the State needs little if any amending by the present legislative session. MT. Hall was largely responsible for the en- actment of the code by the last ses- sion of the legislature, although, its general provisions had been prepared by State Mining Code Commission. MT. Hall has come to this conclus- ion after a careful canvass of the op- eration of the present law in vari- ous parts of the State and his opin- ion is confirmed by the State Mine Inspector, which official in his re- port made no recommendation for mine legislation.
 "It is possible" said Mir Hall to- day, that a few changes may be made in the operating rules of the present mining law, az this session. but, it is my opinion and the opin- ion of others with whom have talked who are interested in mining that the present law is as near per lection as we can expect. Possibly at the end of the next two years, or when another Legislature meets, it may have developed that changes ln the law should be made"

RICH STRIKE IS
 MADE AT THE OHIO MINE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

John s. Jones, who arrived from his camp in Chaparral yesterday, reports very rich strike as having taken place on the Ohio mines, while assessment work was being perform ed recently. On virgin ground near the surface, miners uncovered a twelve-foot body of gold ore that showed the same characteristics as the rich ores of early days. The eastern officers have been advised of this determination, and it is probable they will authorize a continuation of exploration at the point where the big showing is exposed. MT.

SELL WOMEN LIKE
 THEY ARE CHATTELS

NEW YORK, Feb. lZ.-Ihat a slave market where women are sold into lives of prostitution, is actually carried on in New York city, is the astonishing statement of Samuel H.. London, the Rockefeller investiga- tor of the white slave traffic, whose testimony before the Curran com mittee startled New York.
 The most appalling feature of New Works commercialized vice flourish es. The 26,500 women who are in the grip of the white slave trust" in Manhattan and Brooklyn alone have an earning power year of $57, 100000 Most of the money goes to the trust, the women receiving but scant income.
 The slave market occupies the back room of dingy alleged res taurant on Clinton street. Here. be- tween 1 and } o'clock in the morn ing barterers in woman gather. When there is a particularly hand some lot of women to be disposed of, the slave market. so the investi- gator reports, shows as much activ- ity as the stock exchange on busy day. The bidders for human being shout their bids and work them selves into an excitement that is equal to anything the street" knows and they shout their figures so loud ly that they can be heard on the street
 The women are not put on the block The bidders have examined them previously and know the ones they want. The average earnings of a white slave in New York city is $2200, but in the west they earn as much as s5000 a year.

Chas R. Ozburn. citizen member of the State Board of Control, con cluded yesterday his examination in to the management of the Pioneer Home in this city, and returned to the capital, where his data will be compiled and later report submit ted to his associates of that depart ment.
 Mir. Ozburn would give no intima- ton of what the nature of his re- port would cover. He had been in the city for four days, during which time there had been examined in detail thirty-fve members of the home and about twenty citizens who were not affiliated with the institu- ton. This official proceeding fol- lows after the filing of charges against Superintendent Caldwell by members of the home. which are said to cover a wide range of per sonal and official complaints. Many of those who prefer charges are out spoken in their bitterness, and the examination authorized was due in the main to what is said to be a chaotic states of affairs which had assumed that tension as to lead to clashes between the management and the members.
