AR|ON SINGERS
IN FIRST CONCERT
OF THE SEASON
Aided by Well-known Soloists,
Give Excellent Program at
Krueger's.

The first club concert for the sea-

society, now detained in Europe be-
cause of the war, Arthur Mees con-

| In a program, all too short, the
men sang six numbers. Instrumental
music was supplied by thirty five
members of the Philharmonic Or
chestra of New York, and solos were
contributed by Paul Petri, tenor, and
Miss Kathryn Eyman at the piano.
Mrs. Lillian Jeffreys Petri was the
sccompanist.
Though brief, the program was va
ried and presented a wide range Of
music. One number, Brahms Cradle
Song" beautifully rendered by the
male choir, was sung in English, and
so aroused the appreciation of the
audience that it had to be repeated.
Though he was said to be laboring
under a slight attack of bronchitis,
Mr.. Petri was in splendid voice.
When he left this country about
eight years ago Mr.. Petri was known
as a baritone. Since then the range
of his voice has increased. Last
night he displayed a big, broad. ro-
bust tenor. His years in Europe have
given to him ripe art and sureness
of himself. Last night he rendered
Siegmunds Liebeslied, from die
Walkure,'' with accompaniment by
the orchestra, and. assisted by Mrs.
Petri, sang three songs of Schubert.
The program ended with the rem
,.dering of Gernsheim's "Salamis'' by
the chorus, Mr.. Petri and the orches-
I'm Tn hi ha hoa nj If Nv Dotr tic
voice was shown at its fullest. In
the solo passages his command, at
tack and phrasing were perfect.
Miss Eyman, with the orchestra,
played Grieg's Concerto, opus Is. She,
TOO, scored an instant success. Miss
lyman is an artist of profound ca
pacity. She rendered the beautiful
score of the Norwegian composer
with exactness and feeling seldom
known in one so young.

LARGER PLANT FOR
PLACER OPERATIONS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

tfrOm Saturday Dally.J
So satisfactory was the return OF
placer gold at the diggings on Lynx
creek owned by o. o. Smith, w.
D. Alexander, Jr., w. s. Colds
worthy and associates, that it has
been decided to enlarge the mechan-
ical equipment Immediately, that a
larger tonnage may be handled in
the future.
The small plant installed few
months ago gave splendid returns
in the yellow dust. 1t was intended
more for prospecting the gravel beds
han for pecuniary benefit. Mr..
smith, who returned Thursday from
Phoenix, stated that the company
is in accord for introducing a plant
that would handle at least sixty
cubic yards per day, and to this
end it was decided to install ap-
paratus that would permit of prac-
tically no loss in recovering the finer
gold.
Churn drilling of the ground is to
begin, that the gravel beds may be
disintegrated, and made easy to
handle. The dirt is to pass through
a mammoth trummel, when the
coarser gravel will be separated
from the finer by means of screens,
as well will the clay be ground up,
before it reaches the sluice boxes.
The formation also carries a product
in the form of a rebellious condi
ton that will readily submit to
and to handle this
output a Whitley table is to be
placed on the ground. Assays from
this yield gave values of $40 to the
ton, in test made when the work
started up.
What the ratio of the tonnage will
be to the cubic yards treated will
not be known until after the new
plant begins operations. Mr.. Smith
stated that the new apparatus IS
being manufactured i'll this city by
the Arizona Mines Supply Company
and inside of the next thirty days
the full plant will be running. Fol
the present only the channels along

DECISION GODD
NEWS TO ALL MINERSe
(From Saturdays Daily.

DdilN.J
The following is news of interes'
to everyone connected in any way
with the mining industry:
Under a decision rendered by the
interior department, dated Dccem
Der %, ban which has been on the
mining industry for several years
is removed.
A number of years ago a rule
was promulgated by the interior de-
partment to the effect that a mining
claim could not pass patent unless
a sufficient amount of mineral was
discovered to practically make it a
paying business proposition. Under
the strict construction of this rule
1t was next to impossible to Obtain
a patent, unless the claim had beer
fully developed and demonstrated
its ability to remuncrate its owner
for working it.
The late decision reverses the
above rule, which has always been
considered absurd and detrimental
to the mining interests, and gives
capital an opportunity to explore
mineralized land for the purpose Of
developing a mine.
The decision was rendered in the
case of twelve applications made by
Hoval \. Smith for patent for
claims located in the Warren min
ing district, which adjoins the IA
nous Copper Queen properties and
those of the Calumet & Arizona
and others of importance. Prcvi-
Gus to filing OF these cases a number
of claius which Mr.. Smith had
patented were ordered cancelled by
the department. and a suit for $780,
600 brought against him. The lat
ter was aftcrward dismissed. the
department ordered to apologize
in a letter for having brought the
suit, and the claims were restored
for patent" Silver Belt.

KNIGHT OF GRIP AS
PIRANT FOR OFFICE

PHOENIX, Feb. 1.-THE travel
ing men who make Arizona, want
a representative on the corporation
commission and hope to land Chas.
X. Pishon of Phoenix in one of the
places now occupied by Messrs.
Cole, Geary and Jones.
For nearly year the matter has
been incubating 1t was first sug-
gested at a gathering OF knights Of
the grip in Phoenix. Since then
quiet boosts for Pishon have been
delivered in various places.
Pishon covers Arizona for a Los
Angeles house and claims Phoenix
as his home. He has had charge
OF the children's amusements at the
State fair several years and is one
of the best known travelling men
in Arizona. In politics he is a
Republican.
If Pishon is not elected TO the
commission it will not be for lack
of campaigning. He and his friends
can combine business with politics
and not be out a cent for campaign
expenses. In this respect Pishon
will have a great advantage over all
other candidates.
Commissioners Return.

Interesting Legal Case.
Final arguments have been pre-
sented to the supreme court in the
case of the Inspiration Consolidated
Copper Company VS.. the New Key
stone Copper Company. This case
involves many legal points and is
OF much general interest. Just what
constitutes public benefit" is the
principal question which the supreme
court must decide.
The Inspiration company desires
a right OF way for tunnel through
the Keystone claim, in the Miami
district, which is controlled by the
same interests that control the Mi
ami Copper Company. 1t is claimed
that such a tunnel is necessary in
order to haul out the ore of the
Live Oak property. that the opera
ton of the Live Oak will give en-
ployment to great number of peo-
pie and increase the taxes paid to
the State. These are the reasons
advanced for the contention that the |
tunnel would be a public benefit
Work on the tunnel was started |
from the Inspiration ground in
1913. 1t was 200 feet into the Key
stone claim before the Miami people
knew anything about it. They
applied for and obtained
an injunction restraining the Inspira-
ton company from extending the
tunnel farther. This injunction was
issued from the superior court OF
ella county.
Immediately the Inspiration COM
pany began condemnation proceed
ingS to obtain right OF way for
the tunnel The Miami interests
contended that owing to the forma-
ton of the ore body and the exist
ence of the tunnel they would be
forced pcrpetually to maintain the |
Keystone as an idle claim. Since
the public would not participate di-
Tectly in the benefit, their attorneys
declared, the tunnel could not be
legally termed public benefit. The
principal benefit would accrue to the
Inspiration company, it was argued.
Judge Shute denied the application
Tor right OF way and an appeal was
taken to the supreme court The
hnal arguments for the appellant
were made by Curtis II. Linlcy, an
authority on mining law from San
francisco, and Z. w Rice, of Globe.

ed the appellee.
