Early Romance in Hunting
Claims---Five Companies
Make Expedition

One of the strange features of the
early days was a military mining ex-
pedition which secured all of central
and part of southern Arizona in
search of gold and silver, and found
nothing worth speaking of, so far as
is positively known, says the Doug
las International. 1t was known as
the Miner expedition.
1t originated in Nevada under the
direction of a guide named Miner.
In May, 1871, the company advanced
from Prescott to Phoenix, intending
to mobilize at Fort Grant. Before
leaving Prescott the company was
joined by large party. Other
squads joined at Phoenix, Florence,
Tucson and at various places in be-
tween.
When the whole force reached
Fort Grant it numbered 267 men.
These were regularly organized and
divided into five companies. Two
of these companies were Mexican.
one from Sonora and one from Tue
son. Governor Stafford, who Joined
the party at Tucson, was elected
commander-in-chief.
They marched from Camp Grant
on the San Pedro to the mouth of
the San Carlos on the Gila. thence
up the San Carlos to its head, from
there to Salt River, and on up to
the Tonto Basin and thence to the
mouth of Cherry Greek, where they
remained for some time All the
ground covered was prospected over,
but without much success
From Cherry Creek the party
moved to the Sierra ADcha noun
tains and continued prospecting.
Finally it returned to Cherry Creek,
thence down the Salt River valley,
across the river to the "wheatfields"
and from there to Pinto Creek where
the force disbanded.
Miner, who was the guide of the
party, had claimed that while out
with a previous party one of the
number turned up a spadeful Of
earth which panned II ounces of
gold. His object was to thoroughly
comb central Arizona and try to To-
cate this rich spot. So great was
the ridicule heaped upon him after
the failure of the expedition that he
soon felt constrained to leave the
country.

MUST PAY BACK TAXES
Arizona Copper Co. Loses Case
Before Supreme Court

Sustaining practically every point
raised in demurrer filed by At
torney George j. Stoneman. the
State Supreme Court decided that
the Arizona Copper Company must
pay the taxes assessed against it by
John w. Webster, county assessor
of Greenlee county, for the year
1911. In addition the company
must pay twenty-five per cent for
attorneys fees, twelve per cent in
terest on the original and six per
cent on the fees, and all costs of the
suit.
The interest charge dates from
the second Monday in December,
1911. The entire judgment amounts
to about $50,
This decision ends the case, as a
state tax matter cannot be taken to
the supreme court of the nation.

THE JEWEL STATE ARIZONA HISTORY
Cold Facts Tersely Told
About Arizona By
Pupil

For cold facts tersely told about
Arizona. an eighth grade pupil of
the st. David schools is there with
the goods. She writes as follows:
ARIZONA, THE JEWEL STATE
She is the wealthiest and most
prosperous state in the Union. Her
scenery is uneQualled. The Grand
Canyon and Cliff Dwellings are in
Arizona.
People who have not been here
think of Arizona as desert where
| a low-class of people reside, but let
them see for themselves.
Arizona is state where few dis
eases develop. The pure, bracing
air and mountain scenery seems to
work marvellous cures.
The cities and towns of Arizona,
are very few. Tucson, railroad
center, is the largest town. Phee-
nix, next in size, is the capital. /. 1t
is noted for its beauty and excellent
climate, Bisbee, third in size, is in
great mining region. There are
other towns beside these, including
the great St. David which was set
tied in 1917. The people endured
many hardships,. butin recent years
it has prospered. Instead of brush
and weeds it now has beautiful fields
of grain, alfalfa and large trees
along the sidewalks.
/ The schools of Arizona are equal
to any of their kind in the United
/ States.
On an average the people of ART
zona belong to jovial and ambitious
class.
Arizona contains many large and
beautiful mountains, and the birds
of Arizona are numerous. They
usually stay the whole year round.
| In trees and fields you can hear their
music at any season.
THERE'S much mineral wealth in
Arizona. The soil is very fertile
and productive. Many vegetables
are raised, such as beans among
them white. pink and mesquite, the
latter being the most noted because
they grow on trees; manv fruits are
also raised.
Arizona is land of thorns, but
we expect some day to have the
thorns bloom into roses as they did
when the prince awoke Sleeping
Beauty.
Many animals are raised, the most
noted being the skunk, which gives
the country a most delicate perfume
Nature was very partial to Ari,
zona when she so artistically carved
the Canyon Grand, surprising in
beauty and all work of art. 1t may
be classed and is classed as one OF
the wonders of the world. Tourists
from all parts of the world seek this
enchanting spot.
! Arizona is, on the whole, one OF
the most productive and prosperous
states in the Union. 1t far supasses
most of them but most people o1
the world would not like it if yor
were to tell them so.

WILSON BLOCKS
ACT FOR SENDING
ARMS TO MEXICO
President Opposes Fall Resoht bn
for a Repeal of the Law
of Neutrality.
SENATOR RECEIVES MANY
ENDORSEMENTS AT LARGE

Washington, Aug, 4.-President
Wilson, it is learned today from
members of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations committee is blocking the
resolution of Senator Fall to repeal
the neutrality law passed by the
taft administration, which torbids
the export of arms to revolutiontsts
in Mexico.
IL has been communicated to the
committee that it is not desirable to
aaye the question of shipment of
arms to the reYolutionists discussed
N exploited until the president
las exhausted his efforts TO restore
order in Merico through peaceful
MEANS"
A member of the committee said
me of the chief reasons for not act
ng on this resolution is that "if the
United States interyenes, as is now
admitted by many it must intervene,
their will be more men fully armed
o oppose the United States troops
when they start in to restore order
han if no arms were allowed to be
exported to the reyolutionists.
Senator Fall Supported.
Senator Fail, who is leading the
light for vigorous expression of
american policy and the backing it
Up with bther than diplomatic
Weapons. has received many teie-
rams of commentator of his stand
or protection as against procrasti-
lation.
Western Senators generally have
N intimate knowledge of Mexican
fairs, and Senator Fall is getting
elegrams and letters of approval of
his attitude for protection to Ameri-
an citizens wherever they are.
Here is a message to Senator Fall
rom H. 0. Rawlings, of Eagle
PASS. Texas:
Il have a son with his family re-
'orted to be starving in Mexico. /
'ope you will not cease your good
Efforts until our government is
orced to protect it's citizens
now that the people with it and |
hat the brave soldiers whom we
'ay for this protection are anxious
