Always with vague suggestions of delight.
Stairways and Gardens. Mystery and grace
Seem part of their environment; they fill me
With memories of things yelled from my sight
In some far place.

OF birds at dawn-of sultry afternoons
Gardens I seem to see low branches screening
A vine-roofed arbor with leaftiled floor,
Where sunlight swoons.

Then curves and vanishes in space above,
Lights fall lights RISE soft lights that meet and
blend.
Starways; and some one at the bottom standing
Expectantly with lifted looks of love-
Then steps descend.

With subtle scents of myrrh and musk
With dawn and dusk-with youth, romance and
mystery,
And times that were, and times that are to be-

NEW LAW AIDS MINING.

PHOENIX, Ariz. - State Mine In spector G. H. Bolin has just submit ted his annual report to the gover nor. He stated that mining i'll Arizona was never more active than at the present.
 "The fact that copper mining is far in advance of other lines, is due in a measure, to the demand for the metal and the present market price," he said.
 New methods in the past consid- cred worthless, have resulted in the opening of many lowgrade mines. and have placed them on paying basis. All the producing mines in he Sta.e of Arizona are employing as many men in the extraction of their ores. as they can advantage us- ". The number is much greater than at any time in the past.
 "The blue sky law passed by the legislature in 1912. requiring promo tors to show that they have a prop osition of merit before they can sell st ock. has driven most of the "bunco' mining men fir m the state. No law, in my estimation. could have been passed by the legislature that would aid more in the development of the minieral industry of the state."
