interesting Arizona and General Matter of Local Character
MAGMA PROPERTY |S GETTING MUCH NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
 M|N|NG--0THER GOOD WORK

A gang of Apache 1ndans are clear ing the ground and excavating for the Magma Copper company's mil site at Superior. says the Ray Copper Camp. Eighteen teams are strung along the road between the Arizona Eastern station near Florence and Superior, delivering lumber. cement and other material. Carpenters started work this week and more will be put on increasing the sorce to twenty five.
 The new mill will be . concentrat. ing plant to handle the lower grades of ore. It will be wooden structure with cement foundation and will have daily capacity of one hundred and fi;iy tons. The plant is using built ty the General Engineering company of Denver. It Is located half a mile from the mines mouth in a westerly direction. Ore will be conveyed to the mill by means of an aerial train The contracts for building the tram has been awarded to the United States Steel Products company. NJ. C. Starr representing the United States Steel company was in Superior this week closing up the order. He will be fol lowed by the engineers who will lay out and start the work of construc- ton.
 Wires Are Strung
 Mir Randolph, in charge of the cleo. trical department of the Magma com. pany. is engaged in stringing wires and installing transformers. He is as sighted by M. A. Moody. formerly at Ray.
 The General Engineering company has ninety days from the date of sign ing up the contract. in which to com plete the construction. This means a rush of construction work. While it does not involve the employment of

but this advertisement is solely for the purpose of calling everyone's at- tention to this plan. The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce will be glad 10 furnish blanks to be filled out giving data and information on your mines. Please help us in this work and tell your neighbor to help also."
 The result of this appeal from the Chamber of Commerce has met with prompt response, and already over 200 properties have been listed and the accompanying data filed from the immediate vicinity of Prescott and Yavapai county. and others are com ing fin rapidly. The catalogue Is. being prepared. campaign of advertise- ment is being arranged throughout the larger cities of the east.
 WILL REACH PROPER CHANNELS
 It will undoubtedly be the means of bringing Yavapai county mines into
 
 gold district in Arizona and destined to become along with 1t neishbnring county, Mohave within five years the largest gold producing region fin the United States, for such is the con. sensus of opinion of number of emi. nent mining geologists and engineers. who have been examining that sec. tion for the United States Geo 'oeical Survey and for mining corporations.
 The mining committee of the El Paso Chamber of Commerce has much wider mineral field to bring to the attention of the mining world lt has the entire state of New Mexico, Chihnahua3 and west Texas, Arizorn. Sonora and Sinaloa tributary to El Paso.
 PUBLICITY IS NEEDED
 In New Mexico alone are hundreds of meritorous mining properties that need only legitimate public'.y to put them into successful operation. Scarcely a day passes without in quiries regarding mining properties in that state, and the worst of the matter Is that no one seems to he able to furnish the information and data sought. In undertaking to foster and promote the mineral resr.rcss of this section of country the mines committee should use rhe greatest care so as not to create Ire slightest suspicion ,f having any personal in. teres. in advancing any inG,y'duhl owner or property. There sl O. he no cff tioi endorsement of any pruT. crty.lor any responsibility of the ccmmiltee for statements made bv mine owner.

 DEVELOPMENT ONLY IS PLAN
 When the mine owner and would be investor are put in communication the duties of the committee shcu'd cease. It is then up to the interested parties to verify the statements made by the mine owner In other words. the Chamber of Commerce must not be interested. directly or indirectly. in promotion Of private schemes hut in the promoting of the general de- yelopment of the mining and mineral resources of the southwest. And this should be officially stated in its cata- logue and advertisements.

Diving Hermit Rich.

Newton, Kans., July 22.-Taken to
hospital in dying condition as an
act &C charity, it was discovered that
Charles Perrine, 73 years old, an old
soldier, who has lived the life of a
hermit for 43 years, had $500 il
bills in his clothes. The finding ot
this money gave Perrine's two sisters,
who had been summoned here from
Girard, Ill.,, an idea that he might
have more money concealed in the
house on his farm near McLain.
A visit there on the day after the
death, July 3, resulted in finding $395
in currency and $65 in gold in old
clothes hung on the wall of his bed
room. No further search was made
until the second day following, after
the funeral, when another search was
made and $11o5 in currency found in
various places. The search was kept
up until total of $5135.S0 had been

German Party Shifts.

Strassburg, Germany, July 22.-A
short time ago Count Won Roedern,
the new secretary Of state for Alsace
Lorraine, refused to receive deputy
Of the Social-Democrat party because
Of the anti-royalist attitude adopted by
this party. On this occasion the Cen
ter party expressed its satisfaction at
this action on the part of the count.
On another occasion the statthalte",
Herr Won Dallwitz, invited all the
members of the parliamentary COM
mitte4 for the reform of taxation to
6 dinner, with the exception of the
four members of the Social-Democrac
party and the Able WetteHle. who 4
short time ago was much criticized on
his anti-German speeches in Paris.
This reused the Indignation of the
Center party and meeting was held
for the purpose of discussing whether
the party should identify itself with
Wetterle and decline the invitation.
Bfore decision was reached, however,
Wetterle stated that he did not think
such {. step was necessary.

Prosperity Is Expanding
Over the Whole Nation

Chicago, July 22.--With the receipt
of information from virtually all of
the big industrial centers of Illinois
containing assurances that business il:
advancing both in facts and figures,
Chicago rediated to the world today
predictions of prosperity such as have
never before been known perhaps in
the history of the country.
Preliminary indications of what
teeming activity in industrial and com.
mercial life of America lies in the i'm
mediate future came from Aurora
with CHEEKY dispatch that 200 men
have beeen re-employed in the shops
Of the Burlington railroad at that city.
Undo the pressure Of "hard times"
last fall and winter, men were dis
charged by the scores at a time until
the operations of the big plant were
conducted by practically handful of
work!ren.
Beginning a month ago the laborers
were ordered back to work and week
by week the employment roster slowly
assumed its original appearance in
point Of numbers and with today's
employment there are, conserva
lively estimated, 1900 men toiling in
the hops of the company-more than
at any other time in its history.
Material evidence-more conclusive
that business conditions are improving
.han mere statements by financiers---
with GREAT strides was produced right
here iE Chicago today, when approx
mately 100000 bushels of wheat ar
rived here. This is by far the largest
amount ever received at any one mar
ket in single day The receipts were
estimated at 1881 cars, and, although
some years ago Chicago received
something like $500 cars of wheat If
one day, the latter did not spell as
grea- quantity Of grain in bushels.
That the iron industry here is seeing
or az least is about to see the best era
in its history is proven by the COM
pleticn of arrangements here today
where Joseph T. Ryerson and his son
the former being one of the oldest
and .argest iron and steel merchants
in America, will acquire the plant and
equipment of the w. G.. Hagar Iron
company of st. Louis. There, accord
ing to the present plans, Mr.. Ryerson
will establish extensive warehouses to
care for the business in the whole
southwest.

Below Major Cook shows that there
can to no entries for county office
after the primaries, contrary to the
claim of some persons.
Editor of the Press, Dear Sir--The
Brawley News of July Goth, 1914, con-
tainei in part the following editorial:
"The real contest will come after the
primary election. Independent candi-
dates will then have chance and sew

law, independent. candidacy is easy,

required number of signers who did

There appears to be some doubt in
the minds of the voters of Imperial
county as to the operation of the di-
rect primary law in regard to nomina-
tions subsequent to the August pri-
mary election, and in order that the
public may become familiar with this
provision, / herewith quote from "The

Assemblyman C. C. Young, author OF

Railroads Will Refund.

San Bernardino, July 22-Shippers
of interior cities will not be forced to
litigation to secure the refund from
the railroads of excess freight charges
arising from the "back-haul" collected
since the inter-mountain cities laid
their case before the supreme court of
the United States several years ago.
The Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe announced today, at meeting of
the representatives of interior cities
of southern California, that they
would agree to conference with the
interior counties freight bureau to
formulate plan by which the claims
woull be paid without litigation.
This suggestion was met with i'm
mediate action and after election of
George M. Cooley as president and
Attorney Byron Waters as general
counsel of the bureau, they were
named to attend the conference with
represt natives of the two railroads
within the next ten days.
The shippers, who scented difficulty
in collecting "back-haur' claims al
lowed in the recent decision of the
supreme court, are jubilant over the
preliminary concessions of the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific and the ex-
pected action of other railroads which
their suggestions forecast.
Business men from this city, Red
lands, Riverside, Pomona, Ontario,
Cotton, Santa Ana, Corona and other
cities were present at the big meet
ing ToGay. To further unite the cities
involved in the decision it was de-
oided to take steps toward the forma-
ton of central traffic association

river and the Pacific coast terminals
in the zone affected by the long anc
short haul clause of the Interstate
commerce commissions ruling.

Anti Trust Bill Ready
To Go Before the Senate

tural organizations instituted for mli-
tual help and having no capital stock
and rot conducted for profit, is
amended to eliminate fraternal and
consumers organizations from the
list.
The provision prohibiting holding
companies is retained with slight
amendments in phraseology.
The section of the house bill relat-
ing to interlocking directorates has
been rewritten almost entirely by the
committee. 1t would provide that af-
ter two years from the approval or
the act no common carrier engaged in
interstate commerce having on it's
board any other officer who is an Off
Ger or has any direct interest in an
other corporation dealing in supplies
or securities shall make purchases of
supplies or have any dealings in Sc
curities" with such corporation to the
amount of more than $4,000 in any
one year, except by competitive bid
ding under regulations to be prescrib-
ed by the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Violation of this provision would be
made punishable by fine not to exceed
$25,000 and Imprisonment not exceed
ing two years. The committee retains
the section of the house bill providing
that nc person shall at the same time
be a director in any two or more cor
porations, any one which has capital
aggregating more than S1,000,000, if
elimination of competition between
such corporations by agreement would
constitute a violation of the antitrust
laws.
! The sections of the original bill per-
tanning to injunctions and punishment
for contempt are left intact in prin-
Ciple, except that the clause which
would have legalized picketing on the
premises of individuals or corporations
in cases of strikes or lockoutS is elm
mated.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-22

Washington, July 22.-After months
of delberation, the senate judiciary
committee has agreed on the final re-
vision of the Clayton antitrust bill.
to supplement the Sherman law which
passed the house last spring.
The committee will report the meas
ure tJ the senate tomorrow.
Most important OF the amendments
recommended by the committee is one
to provide for court review of or
ders issued by the interstate COM
merca commission or the proposed
interstate trade commission against
corporations found to have violated
the trust statutes.
The amendment would provide that
in case corporations or individuals ne
glect or fail TO obey orders of either
commission, the commission, through
its attorney or district attorneys, may
apply for enforcement of the order to
the United States district court, trans
nit the original record of the proceed
ing, including all testimony taken, and
the rqling of the commission shall be
taken as prima facie evidence.
Either party, however, would be per
mitted to adduce additional material
oVidcrce.
Either party to any proceeding
brought before the commerce or trade
commissions, under the amendment,
would have the right to appeal from
any final order by either commission
within 80 days by serving notice on
the adverse party and filing it with
the commission.
The final order of any district court,
the amendment would provide, might
be reviewed by the supreme court
upon appeal.
The section of the original bill .e-
atinG to price discrimination IS
amended so that determinations IN
price made in good faith to meet com
petition and not intended to create
monopoly could not be penalized.
The section of the house bill which
would make it unlawful to refuse tc
sell products of mines, oil or gas
wells, or hydro electric plants to bona
fide applicants is stricken from thc
bill.
The provision making it unlawful tc
lease or make contracts for sale OF
goods on condition that purchasers
shall rot use or deal in the products
of a competitor is retained, with ar
amendment providing that the section
shall apply to all products, whether
patented or unpatented."

ton has voted at the recent primary
election; and, second, that he himself
was ret candidate for such office at
such primary election.
"This method of getting upon the
ballot is prohibited to candidates for
partisan office, for the reason
that every candidate of this class Of
office is from the beginning an inde-
pendent candidate, and has run as
such at the primary--a primary,
moreover, so far as the non-partisan
office is concerned, at which all as
pirants are permitted to contest, and
in which all electors are permitted to
vote, whether registered as partisan
or non-partisan. To permit an aspir-
ant for such an office to become an
independent candidate after the pri-
mary at which other independent can
didates have qualified, would be to
give one independent candidate an un-
fair advantage over another If can
didates for non-partisan office were
permitted to qualify in November m-
der the provisions Of section 1888, it
would soon occur that no non-partisan
candidate would run except in this
manner, and the primary, with its
great service Of wedding out minority
candidates, would soon become dead
letter so far as such offices are con-
cerncd. Accordingly this method oi
securing an independent nomination
is now restricted to candidates foi
offices which are not on a non-parti
san basis.
MAJOR S. COOK, County Clerk
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-22

The coming county election presents
an issue suddenly brought to the front
by thu concerted act of group Of
citizens of Imperial
The election laws of the state con-
template freedom for many citizens to
enter into the contest on a non-parti-
san basis for any county office, and, in
accordance with the spirit of the law,
individuals from all parts of the coun-
ty did enter their names as candidates.
But, entirely against the spirit Of
the primary law, a. series of meetings
Of Imcprial citizens were held, with
the purpose of capturing control of
county government by that city.
For months, DeRackin, alleged Dem
ocrat, booze boss and booze editor, had
declared that he would clean out the
court house at the coming election, and
as election time approached he under
took to put his personal ticket in the
field.
But the man is held in such con-
tempt throughout the county that he
could not get candidates. When he
lad failed in this alone, the work was
taken up by other Imperial politicians
with view to getting united Impe-
rial support behind a distinctly I'M
perial ticket, and around this ticket
Republicans and Democrats were ex-
pectel to rally.
There were then three candidates in
the field from Imperial for office, DR..
r. H. Power for sheriff, A. P. Shibley
for superintendent of schools and
GaIen Nichols for district attorney.
These were endorsed and committee
men were sent out to induce other can
ddatec to enter the field, there to ap-
proac!l the candidates as friends and

rot IS committeeman.
As !. result of this move there en-
tered the arena II. w. Brewer, row Of
FL Centro but formerly of Imperial, ,
and still owner Of farm near that
town, for superior court judge.
irwin Maupin, now of Ell Centre, but
formerly treasurer of the city of I'M
perial, for county treasurer.
J. f. Bezdecheck of Imperial was
endorsed for county clerk, but he re-
fused to be candidate.
r. G. Gorce of Calexico, formerly of
Imperial, for tax collector.
Wayne II. Compton of Seeley for
audito-, but he declined.
For assessor Wiley M. Weaver, for.
merly of Imperial, was endorsed.
The position of assemblyman is a
partisan office and YVES consequently
treated somewhat different, the Re-
publi:ans. of Imperial in the cabal
agreeing to consolidate their support
on Clifford Coggins, formerly of i'm
perial and still owning a farm near
that town, and closely identified with
the Imperial group Of politicians,
while the Democrats of Imperial were
to give their support to r. f. Wills of
Brawloy, the only Democratic candi-
date
The offices Imperial thus sought 20
control were:
Assemblyman.
Superior court judge.
District attorney.
Sheriff
Treasurer.
Clerk.
Assessor
Tax collector.
Superintendent of schools.
