WHICH IS WHICH?
THAT'S THE QUESTION.
(From Saturdays Daily.)


The peculiar arrangement of the
clause in the State statutes affect
ing registration, was the source OF
considerable annoyance among the
county officials with the arrival of
the first day of May. In one Sec
ton of the statutes, it states speci-
fically that between the FIRST day OF
May and October IS, it shall be
the duty of the county recorder to
register the voters and in another
section reference is made to the
same matter, STIMULATING that it
shall be the duty of the voter to be-
come registered between the first
Monday in May and October Is.
The conflicting clause is not an
important one and has hardly at
tracted more than passing notice,
due to the fact that no voters have
evinced an over-impatience to be
among the very first registered.
Had. however, a number of voters
displayed a desire to get on the
books right off the the bat" Re-
corder Colwell and the County At
torney's office would have undoubt-
eddy found themselves facing a
merry situation.
Unless, some harsh-voiced citizen
takes exception to the decision, no
one will be registered before next
Tuesday. Thus, the recorders of
flee will be absolutely sure of being
within the law, irregardless of which
clause in the statutes is accepted.

EXPECTS AN EARLY DE-
CISION IN TEST CASE
(From Sundays Daily

Confident that the county's posi-.
ton will be upheld and the decision
OF the lower court reversed, Coun-
ty Attorney P. w. O'Sullivan yes
terday returned from Phoenix where
together with Attorney General Geo
Purdy Billiard he represented the
county in its appeal from the de-
cision handed down by Judge Frank
o. Smith of the Superior Court
enjoining the election called to de-
termine the issuance OF S25O,OOO
in bonds for the erection of a
new court house, upon the grounds
that the State statutes do not vest
the Supervisors with such authority
until the county has created debt
of four per cent of its assessed
valuation.
The county attorney in comment
ing upon the hearing before the
Supreme Court Friday morning, ide-
clared that the outlook was decided
ly favorable to a reversal of the
lower courts decision. Attorney
General Bullard who has been "up
in the air" over his inability to
deliver an Interpretation of the law
affecting this situation. spoke before
the Supreme Court tribunal for full
ly an hour. The county attorney
convincingly illustrated the folly OF
such a position as is assumed by
the enjoiner in his action. Attor-
ney H. H. Linney as counsel for
the taxpayer who enjoined the spe-
cial election called in March, to-
gether with Attorney Daniel E.
Parks. represented the appellee.
That the Supreme Court will
hand down an early decision is pre-
dicted by all those interested. The
fate Of improvements in four coun-
ties depends upon what the decision
will be and the Attorney Generals
Office has been pressed for an in
depreciation for the past several
1t is believed that the de-
cision will be handed down within
three weeks time.

BOOST FOR THAT
CLASSY AUTO RACE
(From SATURDAYS Daily)

Whether or not Prescott will hole
that much touted auto race during
the Frontier Day celebration viii
be definitely determined within the
next few days when a committee
from the Prescott Auto Club, spon-
sors of the event, will wait upon
the Frontier Day arrangement COM
mittee with view of arriving at a
definite understanding with regard
to financial backing, etc. At a meet
ing of the club, Thursday night,
bud Clark, H. D. Aiken, o. A.
Hesla, E. w. Wells, Gordon Clark
and DIR. R. J. Roper were appoint
ed as the committee.
In order to attract a number of
the big auto racers of the country
and possibly the attention of some
of the manufacturers. the auto club
proposes to hang up a purse of
$1,000 for a ninety-mile race or a
circle of twice around the outer loop
OF this amount, the club believes
that it can raise $500 and suggests
that the remainder be furnished by
the Frontier Day committee.
The race committee has looked
over the situation and is confident
that there is a sufficient number of
real "red-blooded" sporting men
who will come across" with the
$500 fund providing the Frontier
Day committee acts likewise.
The Frontier Day program calls
for features at the fair grounds dur
ing the afternoon. Practically no
provision is made for the entertain
ment of the thousands of visitors
during the morning. If the plans
of the auto club materialize, the
auto race will be run during the
morning of one of the days and the
event will be open to the public,
free of charge. In short. it is pro-
posed to make the auto race an
event which will linger long in the
minds of those who witness it. The
club is boosting for the success of
the celebration and in planning for
the race, it is practically doing its
utmost. There is not a cent of
revenue to be derived from it while |
the spectators will be rendered the
feature which is recognized as the
best in the entertainment curriculum
Of present day sports.

Boy Brings Down
Big Lobo Wolf
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

Emmett. T., the sixteen-year-uld
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John o. Eckel
of Fair Oaks, has accomplished the
feat of running down and killing a
huge lobo wolf, and as a reward for
his skill with the rifle received a
bounty yesterday of $40 for the peit
from the Board of Supervisors.
This youth at the time was at
tempting to get a bead" on a
mountain lion, when the wolf un-
expectedly appeared on the scene.
The cunning lion made his escape
when Eckel started after the wolf,
rounding him up about two miles
away. One shot at range of 800
steps proved effective and another
destroyer of young stock and poul-
try was gotten rid of in that Sec
ton.
Young Eckel says his only regret
is that the wolf was not on the list
of the stockmen's pool in Anvil
Rock, where he would have been
$50 better off.

BIDS FORE new
HIGH SCHOOL
ARE HIGH
CHANGES IN PLANS MAY
BE NECESSARY; AR
CHITECT ARRIVES TO-
DAY
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Bids received for the general con-
tract to erect the new Prescott
High School, were far in excess of
the figures formulated by both the
board and architect, when opened
at a meeting of the School Board
OF Trustees yesterday afternoon.
Just how the board stands on the
bids or what changes will be eff
feeted in the original plans to con-
form with the amount of money
available, will not be known until
this afternoon when Architect w.
5. Bliesner arrives from Los An
geles.
Mr.. Bhesner was unavoidably de-
tanned at his Office and was unable
to arrive yesterday afternoon per
schedule. His absence resulted in
the board practically going TO
sea-" A number of the bids were
of general nature taking in the
entire work while still others were
tor special parts of the work such
as plumbing. heating, etc. In every
case, the proportions of the bids
were far in excess of the money
available.
When the architect arrives TODAY
he will go over all the different
bids jointly with the board. If
awards can be made for the work
in proportion to the money avail
able and in harmony with the pres
ent plans, the successful bidder or
bidders may be announced this af-
ternoon. If no such conclusion can
be arrived at, the board may order
some deductions from the equip
ment and array of the coming
structures plans.
There is but $4,000 available for
the new high school, which is
to be erected at A1arcon and Cur
ey streets. The general bids were
nearly all at least $4,000 in excess

FIRST PRODUCT COMES
FROM Y-P MINE
(From Fridays Daily.)

~ I'm AAAey . Oohy-J
the mill machinery of the Up Min
ing Company, the first carload Of
concentrates begins arriving in the
city today, for shipment to FL Paso
and Hayden smelters.
The values of this yield are graf
flying and in speaking of the initial
operating of the machinery, Col. L.
w. Getchell stated yesterday that
the future of the property seemed
to be assured. The concentrates
carry values of from $50 to $3.50
in gold, silver and lead to the ton,
with AZ per cent product of zinc
as an additional asset In short,
After nearly month of testing
the zinc yield in itself proves re-
munerative and gives the undertake
ing a decidedly interesting mineral
rating.
The plant makes three different
separations, and all that IS lacking
to handle the iron condition is the
installing of the cyanide treatment
to recover the gold in these ores.
This will be done in a short time
when a complete saving of all min
erals will be effected.
The initial yield of this company
comes from ores in the mine of low
grade, and from the old dump that
accumulated years ago and from
the assays made the recovery was
satisfactory. Beginning tonight the
plant starts up on a continuous day
and night run, instead of one shift
as heretofore. The old levels of the
mine will be opened and the high
grade ores extracted as we'll will
sinking be actively prosecuted into
zones that gave good values before
the present company assumed own
ership.

TRACK LAYING TO
NELSON CAMP BEGINS
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

Track-laying for the standard
gauge railroad from Crown King to
the Nelson mining camp has start
ed, was the report given yesterday
by arrivals from that place. The
road bed is being graded and will
be ready inside of ten days, several
rock cuts interfering with the work.
This line will be over one mile in
length and is to be electrically op-
Grated. the power being generated
at Crown King. The rails are of
sixty-hve pounds in weight. The
operating stock is expected to ar
rive this month, when the line will
be opened a short time thereafter.
Supporting this expensive adjunct
to the mine undertaking is the won
derful showing made in the past
year in development and the i'm
mense possibilities that are evident
at different points underground in
determinations that attract
the admiration of mining men who
have made examinations. Grading
for the reduction plant at the mine
is practically finished and the type
Of plant is to be decided upon later.

widely known throughout Arizona
on account OF his long residence

member OF the Senate in the first
State legislature. He is the pres
ent chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee.
His private life is without a
blemish and in his business affairs
he enjoys a reputation for the high
est integrity. Arizona needs men
as her representative in Washing
ton like Mr.. Hubbell who will la
Dor increasingly for the advance
ment of her interests, as his own

the fact that he possesses those
qualities which are essential for &C

ONE MORE BEAR
IS LEFT ON RANGE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

I
Ray Frazier, who arrived yester-
day from Turkey creek, reports
rangemen there as again excited
and agitated over the appearance
of another bear, which it is believ-
ed is the mother of the one killed
short time ago by Walter Cline
and Louis Dondrea. Two three
year old steers were killed belong
ing to Frank Condron, and the
tracks leading to and from the car
casses indicated that the bear was
a monster in size Frazier and
other cattlemen measured the tracks
which showed a length of eleven
and three quarter inches and a width
of nine inches.
The bear is infesting the same To-
cality where the other was killed,
but as yet has not been seen. There
will be no effort made to hunt it
down until after the rodeo ends
later this month, when an organized
party will take the field. Cline and
Dondrea however, state, they have
not lost any more bears, and will
surrender the laurels for any future
killing to any others who may de-
sire to pass through the ordeal
that faced them when they had a
very close call from one that was
dispatched by them. Several local
residents are preparing to get in
action.

ANSWER FILED IN

Alleging a fraudulent transaction

venor in the suit of c. A. Peter VS..
The Gazelle Gold Company, yester-
day through O'Sullivan and Nor
gan, attorneys, filed an answer in
the Superior Court. The case, one
OF the most sensational litigation
actions in local mining history, will
probably be tried some time in June
The history OF the case is replete
with many interesting features, de-
clare the attorneys for the defense.
About a year ago, c. A. Peter act
ing for the Fleetwood Development
Company brought suit to foreclose
a mortgage against the Gazelle Gold
Company. In default OF defense,
the Judgment for about $4,000 was
given the plaintiff
Several weeks before the expira-
ton OF the six months term requir-
ed by law before the judgment can
be executed. the Gazelle Mining
Company, successors to the Gazelle
Gold Company learned of the judg-
ment and interviewed in the suit.
After arguments by counsel for the
plaintiff and defense, the case was
finally reopened and the intervenor
instructed to file an answer to the
action.
The answer denies that a mort
gage or note was ever given by the
defendants to the Fleetwood Devel-
opment Company and alleges that
all proceedings reported are of a
fraudulent nature.

PRESCOTT IS THE CON-
VENTION CITY NOW
(From SATURDAYS Daily.)

A glance at the convention cal
endar for the next twelve months
will convince Prescottonians and
others who may be interested in
the fact, that Prescott falls heir
to the crown of Convention City,
from now on, succeeding, of course,
Phoenix, which practically enjoy
ed monopoly of favor from State
lodges, tax sessions and a gala ar
ray of "get-together" conventions
during the past twelve months.
Frontier Day and its attractive
program have proven strong in
ducement to a number of organiza-
tions throughout Arizona to hold
their State sessions here. Recent
ly at a meeting of the State Pub
fishers Association, it was voted 10
adjourn until the Frontier Day Gel
ebration when the newspapermen
from all over the State will flock to
Prescott to hold business session
and incidentally enjoy the enter
tainment provided. Efforts are now
being made to arrange for a State
Encampment of the Spanish War
Veterans in this city during the eel
ebration. Good road boosters from
throughout the State and members
of the State branch of the Nation
al Highways Association will hold
a session here during the From
tier Day celebration. Trap-shooters
from the five northern counties at
least, will get together for tour
nament at the same time.
The next State convention OF the
different lodges of the Masonic or
der has been procured for Pres
colt, coming here for the second
time within three years, a distinc-
ton not boosted by any other city
i'll the State. Phoenix had the con-
clave this year.
Sunday Schools.
In September, the Sunday Schools |
of the State will be represented at
a local convention, the 1918 ses-
sion having been held in Tucson,
where the invitation of Mayor Will
liam H. Timerhoff to hold the con-
vention in this city this year, was
unanimously accepted.
Medical Association.
AT the session of the Arizona !
State Medical Association held in
Tucson last month, it was unani-
mously voted to hold the next an
nual meeting in Prescott.
Cattlemen.
One OF the prize package" con-
ventions of the year is unquestion-
ably the Cattlemen's Association
meeting. Prescott missed landing
this session for January, 1915 but
a good substitute was offered in
the fact that the cattlemen adopted
a resolution to meet here in 1916.
Prescott's genuine brand of hos
pitality is known throughout the
State and it is confidently believ-
ed that the fair of the Northern
Arizona Fair Association next Oc-
tober will be the signal for the
calling of a number of other State
sessions upon short notice in this
city.
