AUTO TRUCK TO
 SERVE SENATOR COUNTRY
(From Fridays Daily.)

Auto truck service in and out of the Senator country will be intro duced early this spring, was the statement made yesterday by John A. Twiggs, operating the Davis mines on Slate creek under a lease.
 One truck has been ordered for a mine under development and he will also place another to handle the ores of the mine he is operating. The state highway completed to the summit of Senator hill affords an exceptionally fine outlet, the grade to this city being down hill and with a roadbed that will afford econnmi- cal expense in transportation. Other mines in that section are developing and the rapid transit method will be of great benefit to them likewise.
 The Davis continues to yield heav- fly and he is we'll pleased with re- turns received from recent ship ments to the sme1ter.

SECRET OF SPHINX
 FOUND BY REISNER

BOSTON, Jan. 22.-That he has discovered the secrets of sphinx was made known to the authorities of Harvard Semetic museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts by Professor c. A. Reisner, Harvard Egyptologist. Inside the sphinx he found a temple dedicated to the sun. It is older than any of the pyramids and its date is somewhere around 6O00 B. C., the most ancient in Egyptian history.
 Mena, or Menes, as his name is sometimes spelled, was the first king of Egypt of whom modern scientists have discovered historic record.
 The tomb of Mena, the king who made himself a god and who fash toned the sphinx, is also within it. There are tunnels leading off into caverns which have not yet been penetrated, for the work has only been going on for six months.
 The sphinx is carved out of the natural rock, but within are the caves and buildings of city of gold which was perhaps once open to the air.
 At present the excavations are confined to the chamber in the head. This chamber is connected by tun- nels with the temple of the sun, which rests within the paws of the sphinx
 Such relics as the "crux anastea" (the 1ooped cross), symbol of the sun, are found by the hundreds. Several of these are gold and have wires for tiny bells, which when sounded by the priests, summoned ghosts.
 Inside the sphinx are also tiny pyramids, although the sphinx was built long before the great pyramids A pyramid in those times was a sundial according to Prof. Reisner, and the sphinx was sun god. The pyramid of Cheops is an absolutely accurate timekeeper.
 According to Professor Reisner Egypt of today is one vast city, the edge of which has been scratched and the interior of which probably never will be disclosed.
 Professor Reisner hopes to dis cover among the relics of the sphinx the secrets of the Egyptian princes whose magic is believed to have been marvellous.
 Pictures of the inside of the head are being made and will be shown at Harvard and Lowell Institute courses next winter.
 Prof Reisner says he is having difficulties in his work for he Arabs who are assisting him re- use absolutely to sleep in the cham per. They say there are devils there md that the man who sleeps there will pass away.

ROBBED OF HER
 VALUABLES AND MONEY
From Thursdays Dailyo


 Letters received early this week from Portland, Oregon, brought the news of the conviction and sentence for one year of "Chic" Edmonds for the crime of doping" a woman by the name of Mrs. Lizzie Duncan.
 The above pair were residents of this city about five years ago, or when gambling was closed. The woman had recently fallen heir to several thousands dollars, and after refusing to disgorge to Edmonds, the latter put her to sleep" with narcotics for over two weeks. When she was resusticated Edmonds had flown with several hundreds dollars in cash and valuable jewerry, among which was a diamond ring, valued at S75O. He was captured at Sitka, Alaska. His light sentence is due to conflicting testimony as to the ownership of the jewelry.

 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS.
 Jan. 20.-The cattle market averag- ed steady last week, though the best
 fed steers declined 10 to Is cents, and stock and feeding grades sold a little higher. That has been the trend of the market for two or three weeks, but today conditions are changed little. Fed steers are selling steady to strong, the market closing firm on them, butcher grad es firm, stockers and feeders about steady; but little shaky. Killers had good orders to fill today, and the hestitating tactics of feeder buy CTS permitted killers to get the half fat steers at $7.50 and upwards.
 The run here today IS 14,000 head, and the fact that this number sold so we'll, in conjunction with heavy supplies at some other points, indi- cates healthy beef trade Appar- ently country buyers have about reached the end of their daring, and the margin between feeders and fat steers is probably at its narrowest point.
 Best fat steers brought $8.25 to- day, bulk of the steers S.O0 to S80O Quarantine steers ranged from S5.85 to %.N today, and some meal fed cows brought S. 90 in the southern divisions. Stock steers bring S575 to %.25 and feeders $675 to %.50. Colorado feeders sold at SIPS to T.oS here last week, landing on the high spot of the winter so far. Cold weather IS stimulating the beef trade and smaller cattle supplies ahead. which are expected, should meet firm market
 Hogs sold stronger each day last week, though total gain for the week was only 20 cents. The run is 5000 here today, moderate for Monday, and the market ruled steady to 5 higher, closing rather mean. Tops sold at S.H12, bulk of sales SIPS 10 %.45. Long feeds are showing nore plainly each week, average weight here last week 210 pounds, against 200 pounds average for the month of December, and 200 pounds or the year 1912
 Lamb prices slumped off 30 cents ast week, yearlings about the same, vethers and ewes off a quarter. A 'reak in mutton in New York is 'iven as the cause, liberal runs also contributing. Receipts today are 6,OOO head here, market strong to 0 higher. Colorado lambs brought SIS and $SS5 today, yearlings 1orth %.25 to %.6O, wethers up to 5.S5, ewes $5.4O. feeding lambs round S.50

 Mining.
 It is immaterial whether a deposit bear mineral of a metallic or non metallic nature; if a mineral deposit exists in vein or lode formation that is to say-if it be in place in the general mass of the mountain it is, whether the mineral it bears be metallic or non-metallic, subjects to the provisions of the lode mining laws.
 Phosphate rock, between well de- fined boundries, constitutes a lode or vein of mineral bearing rock in place within the general mass of the mountain, and hence is subject to disposition under the provisions of the lode mining laws.
 Where rights asserted under an alleged mining location all the nec- essary steps, aside from the making and recording of the location cer- tified, where such IS required, must. when contested, be established by proof outside of the recitals of such certificate. Without such proof, the certificate possesses no probative force or effect.

TWO DATES FIXED
 FOR ARBOR DAY

News Room ot the JournaI-Mln- CT, Room 2O3, N B. A. Bldg.
 PHOENIX, Jan. Ex-Governor Hunt today issued his annual Ar bor Day proclamation which fixes February 7th as the date to be ob- served in the Central and Southern Counties of the State, and April lst the date for the five northern coun- ties of the State. The last legisla- ture very materially increased the scope of Arbor Day observance which was formerly limited to ob- servance by public school children. The present law calls for the ob- servance of the day at all public institutions and by all public off, cials. While it is declared to be a holiday, the law outlines an ob- servance of the occasion along the lines of tree planting which should make the day a very busy one for those required by law to observe it.
 Autos Increasing Rapidly.
 Ten State auto licenses were issu- ed today by S. P Osborn, Secre- tary of State This brings the to- tai number of auto registrations in Arizona up to 2,004, of which num- Der v are for cars of over 40 horse power Under the law the last named class of vehicles pay an annual license of $10, while other vehicles pay an annual license of S. In all 333 chauffeur licenses have been issued by the State. Such licenses are issued for life and cost their owners S. They are required to be held by all who operate autos for hire.
 Some Weather? No.
 In letter received at the Gov -ernor's office this morning, a corre- spondent of Arizona's Chief Execu- tive writing from a Montana town waxes enthusiastic over the ideal weather conditions being enjoyed in his particular locality. Says the letter, "We are having ideal weather l since l last wrote you, the ther- mometer failing to register any low CT than 10 above zero, and so far We have not had over five feet of i snow" Governor Hunt referred the letter to several of the Southern | Arizona Boards of Trade.

Homesteads.

The marriage of woman under q years of age adds the disqualifcat. ion of coverture to that of min ority, and in the event that she is deserted by her husband such des- ertion, while it removes the disqual- ification growing out of the pre- sumption that the husband is the head of the family, does not affect her status as a minor.
 An individual is never a family, that term being applicable only to the collective body of persons living as a household.
 No reported case imports qualif- ication to make homestead entry to one shown to be minor, merely because of the marriage and deser- ton of such person.
 The reported cases go no further than to hold that the disqualification due to coverture is removed by bona fide separation or living apart, and that where, under such circum- stances, the wife has arrived at the age of 2l years or is the actual head of the family, she may make l homestead entry, if otherwise qualified. But separation, in what ever form or through whatsoever means accomplished, does not, of it. self, release her, on applying to make homestead entry, from showing lue qualification, as would have been -equired had she never been married.
Weekly journal-miner., 1913-01-29

If married woman has not here tofore exhausted her homestead right by the making and perfection of a homestead entry and is in fact living apart from her husband with no intention of assuming mar ital relations with him the mere fact that she has a husband living from whom she has not been di- vorced does not deprive her of the right to make homestead.
 Completion of title to land em braced in a homestead entry by pay ment, as provided by the act of June 18th, 1880, is an exercise of the homestead right, and a person hay ing thus exercised his full home stead right in that manner is not entitled to make a second homestead entry under any of the acts pro- viding for second homestead entries, under certain circumstances.
