BOND ELECTION CALLED
OFF IN MARICOPA
(From Wednesdays Dailv.l

(trom Wednesdays Daily.)
Maricopa county will hold no
election for the purpose of voting
on million and half dollar bond
issue for good roads until the test
case from Yavapai county is SET
tied by a decision one way or the
other by the supreme county.
The board of supervisors of Mari
copa county called off its pro-
posed election yesterday, after re-
ceiving an opinion from Attorney
General Billiard. The latter did not
state that bonds so voted would be
Illegal, but as the question was a
very close one and in view of the
fact that a test case would be car,
ried up from Yavapai county he
advised that action be deferred pend
ing the result of the test case.
In speaking OF the opinion rem
lered, General Billiard last night
said: 81 advised the Maricopa su-
pervisors that it was a very slosc
question whether bonds could be is
sued by a county which had not
reached or exceeded four per cent
Indebtedness OF its assessed valua-
ton"
THE intent of the legislature
was. in my opinion, to permit the
issuance of bonds, but the law IS
very ambiguous and it is doubtful
what construction the supreme court
would put on it. I, therefore, advised
the Maricopa supervisors there
would be 4 test case in Yayapai
county which would determine the
natter and that l would assist the
board of supervisors there. The

From the first cleanup OF tn,

ton is to enlarge their facilities 1t

died and on an improved scale from
mechanical standpoint.
This project is the first of its
character to be introduced OH the
creek to recover the values that lay
in the gravel banks, and consists
of an improved method of sluicing.
The water is pumped from an old
drift, and the ground is handled by
hand. The sweeping of the bedrock
with brooms and other primitive
operations were resorted to i'll an
effort to gain an absolute knowledge
of actual values, which has termi-
mated beyond expectations.
The plan OF future operations is
to enlarge the capacity of the plant
to four times its present rating and
to this end the gravel banks and the
bedrock formation are to be handled
by large pumps which will throw a
heavy force of water to points de !
sired, and especially to the crevices
where big values are stored.
One OF the surprising features OF
this project is that the gold recov- /
cred is in some instances very /
coarse, one nugget being shown thas |

"The intent of our present law,
said Mr.. Anderson, was to prevent
prizehghts. 1t is silent upon the
topic OF boxing" Many authorities
were quoted by Mr.. Anderson and
in less time than it takes to tell,
the prosecution were scurrying for
the heavy bound volumes available
in the court and private libraries.
Judge Smith continuously inter
rupted Mr.. Anderson's argument 10
become enlightened upon certain
points, declaring that he had never
been an enthusiast of the manly art
and regretting that he had missed
many opportunities to become thor
oughly conversant with its many
phases in a practical way. Mr.. An
derson declared that he was well
aware of the fact that Judge Smith
had never seen a real boxing con-
test. Mr.. Anderson also delivered
a light hook in the direction of the
Encouragement when he contradict
ed the latter's version of a similar
boxing enactment as tine one in Cal
ifornia being vetoed by Governor
George w. p Hunt Mr.. Anderson
declared that the boxing fraternity
itself was behind that veto, so dras-
tic and dangerous to the fair name
of the game, was the measure con-
sidered.
Mr.. Anderson expressed himself
convincingly upon the theory that
no jury in Yavapai county could be
found to convict the two boys. The
Encouragement characterized this
assertion as an insinuation upon the
fair indedness of the Yavapai cit
izen.
