 MEXICO, CITY, Feb. 2l.-That the new administration expects to use the methods of Porfrio Diaz so far as possible in governing the country was made evident by tine conservation of Huerra with news papermen.
 The president declared no mat ter what the cost might be or who paid it, peace would be restored. He calmly and dispassionately outlined his program for the use of the army in restoring and maintaining order. He admitted there are many parts of the republic where all is not in accord with his peace program. To these he will send emissaries and attempt to bring about order and if necessary troops will be dispatch ed to inform the people of the gov ernment's desire He declared in favor of a free press in Mexico, saying even antagonistic organs were desirable since from them the administration could learn of evils otherwise which would be hidden.

THE TAX ORDER
 IS OBJECTIONABLE
(From Fridays Daily.)

The recent order of the State Tax Commission, fixing arbitrary stand ards of valuation on certain classes of property in the State. came under
 fire at an executive meeting of the
 Chamber of Commerce last night
 and it was resolved;
 That the Prescott Chamber of Commerce goes on record as being
 opposed to the fixing of arbitrary
 standards of valuation of property
 for assessment purposes by the
 State Tax Commission; and, that it
 recommends the assessment of all
 property within the State according
 to its actual value, in accordance
 with the State law and by the coun- ty assessors"
 At The regular session. the meet
 ing was enlivened by the presence of a large and influential delegation from Humboldt, Mayer, Turkey and others towns in that section of Yavapai County These citizens beaded that the construction of road to Phoenix via Black Canyon and fram the Kay Copper Com pany's mine to Turkey station, on the Santa Fe, receive proper and ef- fective consideration.
 Joseph Bark, Henry Heffelman and others of the delegation pre- sented their case strongly and were supported almost unanimously by the members who spoke for the Chamber President Drake struck the keynote when he said that Ari- zona needs roads now and that the only apparent course through which to secure them is by bond issue
 The visiting citizens were in hear ty accord with this sentiment, and, upon motion of Chairman of Roads and Boulevards Committee Norris, a resolution, to be sent to the Legisla- ture today, was adopted, recom- to that body a state issue of bonds for the construction of roads connecting the proposed State system, with the county seats of the several counties. The amount named in the resolution was $, 100000 and it was further recom- mended that the constitution of the State be amended for that purpose, if necessary. This resolution en- dorses that recently presented to the by the Arizona Good l Roads Association.
 In lieu of possible failure of early | action on the State bond issue pro posal. E. s. Clark moved that a be appointed to investi- gate and report immediately as to the feasibility and practicability of issuing county bonds for the con- struction of roads in Yavapai coun- 1 ty.
 President Drake appointed as this committee the following: Messrs. T. G. Norris, E. S Clark, LeRoy R. N. Fredericks, H. w. Heap, J. l. Gardner and F. L. Ha- worth. This committee will meet 1t the Chamber tonight at 7:30 o'clock and a report of its findings will be presented to the board of directors at once Jos. Bark, for the ,isiting delegation. stated that he vas in hearty accord with the meas lres proposed in both resolutions md predicted that the county issue would pass by an overwhelming ma ority. He thanked the Chamber for rearing his delegation and for the leighborly understanding reached at he meeting and was assured by the Chairman of the pleasure given the Chamber by the visit.

DENIES THAT HE GAVE INTERVIEW
 (From Wednesdays Daily.)

Irresponsible newspaper men. when given a little latitude, sometimes cause a great deal of trouble. One of the Phoenix scribes can certainly be classed in that category for while Marshall Stedman, financial manager of the local company of Selig Poly scope players was in the capital city last week taking views of the Aztec Sun Festival and the ostrich farm, reporter got offensively gay and printed story in which MT. Stedman was made to say some harsh things regarding Prescott.
 MT. Stedman is authority for the statement that as far as he knows he did not see any of the newspaper tribe while in the southern city and he is most emphatic in his declara- tion that he was not interviewed nor did he say the unkind things attribut- ed to him. On the other hand Mr. Stedman, even before his attentio/ was called to the fake interview had written directly to Mir Selig and as sured him that no better place could be found in the entire Southwest to film western pictures than right here in Prescott
 The incident is most regrettab1e as Mir. Stedman likes Prescott and up to the time of the appearance of the article in question the feeling was reciprocated by the people of this city. Now that he has denied the utterances attributed to him, and his denial is sufficient to brand the published story as false, the entente cordiale is once more effective and in fine working order.
 MT. Stedman voluntarily made the following statement for publication last evening:
 q was much surprised upon re- turning from Phoenix to see in one of the Phoenix papers an article written as an interview with me re- garding the relative value of the two towns for picture purposes. No news papermen called on me while I was in Phoenix nor did I call at any of the newspaper offices, nor did I give any interviews for publication. cannot understand how I could have been quoted in that manner. My feelings regarding Prescott are the warmest and l absolutely feel that for the truly western pictures Pres ,ott IS head and shoulders above my town in which I have had the privilege to stay"

ARE TO BUILD
 REAL NOAH'S ARK

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A real Noah's Ark of approximately the same size as the original of the Old Testament, containing animals in great variety and capable of navigat- ing any seas, is the unique plan of company which has become public here. In reality the ship will be a huge marine circus.
 The plans provide for ship with length of 525 feet, corresponding as nearly as may be to that of it's prototype; beam of 80 feet, a trifle less than the supposed width of Noah's ship, and depth from avn ing-ridge to keel of a little more than 50 feet, or about the same as its original. Her lines will be those of a hrst-class freighter of from twelve to fifteen thousand tons and like several of the latest ships of its class, she will be fitted with oil engines in order that space and fuel may be economized and tunnels dis pensed with. This will secret a per fectly uninterrupted view in the arena.
 In the lower hold, anti-roll tanks will be placed in position to lessen motion in heavy seas, and there will
Weekly journal-miner., 1913-02-26

be oil reservoirs, machinery and en- zine rooms, and store rooms in ad- dition to water tight compartments, while a double skin and bottom will make the ark practically unsuitable and uncapsizable.
 The lowest deck will provide quar- ters for the various side shows, for an aquarium, aviary and hospital for man and beast, and a menagerie of splendid proportions from which there is to be a sloping roadway up to the arena deck for the use of the anmials when a show is being given or for deck parades. The chief interest of the ship will be on the arena deck. The deck houses in which travelling performances will be accommodated, will, when the ship IS at sea, present no appearance of any peculiar character, but when a performance is to be given in port these houses will be pushed out until they overhang slightly and then there will be an available arena $50 feet by 125, surrounded by twelve tiers of seats and capable of seating upward of 7500 persons. The incorporators say that they in tend to begin building at once

10-STAMP MILL IS
 BOUGHT BY THE CLIMAX
(From Fridays Daily.)

That the Climax Mining Company contemplate treating a large ton mage of ore in the near future, is evident from the purchase that has been closed for another plant, the Reed Mining Company selling their ten stamp mill recently that is situ- ated on the Hidden Treasure mines near Turkey station on the Brad shaw railroad. This purchase also includes two 60-horse power boil CTS, the hoisting plant on the mine, 50,0OO feet of unused lumber on the ground, complete assay office, a $500 pound scales, 1000 feet of rails and a miscellaneous amount of oth- CT machinery, all practically new.
 The plant will be added to the ten stamp equipment on the Climax property, which will afford facilities to handle a very large tonnage of ore in the future. Development goes ahead vigorously at the Climax, and from reports received the determin- ations are satisfactory Three Bur leight drills are cutting into rich shoots, and already there has accu- mulated a sufficient tonnage to keep twenty stamps running for many months ahead The outlook is de cidedly encouraging for a big pro- ducer to be established.

Prom Wednesdays Daifys

Among the Americans residing in Mexico reported as seriously wounde is Frank H. Link, a mining engineer He was en route to the city of Mexi- co from Puebla, and was shot by rebels accidentally, it is alleged.

At the time of his misfortune he was with an American mining syndicate near the city of Puebla, in a consulting capacity. He is about 25 years old, and made a favorable impression among many in this section.

 "P. s. If anyone that drinks booze or is older than 25 needn't apply"
 For the benefit of Miss A. K. it may be stated that Yavaipai county is full of cowboys and nice young men of 25 summers or whereabouts, but it is doubtful if many of them can be found leading a Bible class on Sunday. While none ever in dulge to excess their investigations lead them to explore the glass to the bottom to see if the advice giv- en by St Paul contains merit or not. They have even been known to follow the example set by our illustrious president-elect and say damn" on occasions. Raised ill the environment of the effete East Miss A. K. might be shocked and disap- pointed with the breezy manners of the Westerners, hence the explana- ton.
 Seeing that the lady is so particu- lar as to her choice of a man it might be we'll for any aspirant for her hand to ask a few questions and we would suggest the following:
 Are you good looking?
 Are you a good cook?
 Have you ever been married?
 Do you chew tobacco?
 If your cowboy husband was compelled to spend the night away from home rounding up a stray steer, would you greet him upon his return with kiss or a club?
 Are you a Progressive?
 Can you live on love and S45 a month? Will you?
 What Is your income?
 If none, state whether you have any rich relatives in failing health? Do you think you could support a husband? If not why do you wish to get married?
 Have you enough money to pay your fare out here? Do you believe in woman suff- rage?
 Are you well-informed and we'll formed? Many other questions enter into a proposition of this grave char acter which could be taken up in correspondence such as the of passing eugenics ex- animation as provided by a law now pending in the legislature.

Rule 10 of circular (7 L. 655), providing for amendment of entries, should not be limited to a period oi one year from making of the entry. Irrigability of land is the essential feature in entry of arid lands for the purpose of reclamation. If there can be no irrigation owing to grades being impracticable, the purpose Of the entry is defeated and works sur prise upon the entryman against which he is entitled to relief, if he has used reasonable diligence.

 Mere error of judgment upon the part of a timber and stone applicant in swearing that the land applied for is best fitted for its timber and stone, Is not sufficient ground for refusing repayment under the act of March 26th, 1908, even when it is de- termined after a hearing that the land is agricultural in character.

WILL RECEIVE REPORT ON MExI. co FROM HIS SPECIAL CON-
 MISSIONER.
BRYAN WEARS FIRST SMILE
Secretary's Remarks Regarded as Sig nificant-Reported UnofficialIy That Lind Will Return Home
 in Few Days.

Washington, Sept. 4. - President mer White House at Cornish, N. H., is again at his desk in the White House.
 He will meet William Bayard Hale, new en route here from a special mis- sion to Mexico for the administration, as soon as Hale arrives Hale's re- port of conditions in Mexico since the arrival of John Lind with the peace proposals of the American govern ment will be made directly to the president.
 Unofficial reports reached Washing ton that Lind, who has been at Vera Cruz since the rejection by the Huer- ta government of the American pro posals, would return to the United States within a few days. No confir- nation of this could be procured at '.he state department. Secretary of State Bryan said with relation to the report, that he knew nothing of such intention on Linds part
 'I had a message from Lind," said the secretary, but it did not concern his movements. As to the Mexican situation, it can be said that matters look encouraging"
 Since the departure of the president from Washington the daily character ilation of the Mexican situation at the state department has been that it was unchanged" The renewal of the word, encouraging" just as the pres ident is returning to the capital, was regarded in official circles as signiti- cant of possible developments. Mir Bryan, however, had no explanation for his statement except a smile, the first he has worn in discussing the tense diplomatic affair with Mexico for many days.
 One source of encouragement to Bryan was the action of the house ap- propriations committee in recommend ing in the deficiency bill the $100,000 asked for by the secretary to meet the expense of bringing American citizens from Mexico. Bryan discussed protec- tion of American property in Mexico with Senator Swanson of Virginia, who called to submit a complaint of sugar company near Vera Cruz which did not wish to leave its property un- guarded by Americans.
