DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 2S.-After {
visit to the United Verde Extension
mining property in the Jerome dis
trict, s. P. Applewhite and George
Kingdom, general superintendent Of
the Cananea Consolidated Copper
company, returned home this morn

visit at the fair, meeting many friends
from various parts of the state.
From Phoenix these gentlemen
went to Jerome, where they remained
for several days and made close exam

Mr.. Applewhite stated he found
that all the recent good reports con-

the twelve hundred to the fourteen

of shaft work yet to be done and it is
expected that this will be completed
by the first of next month When the
shaft is completed then the drift will
be started to cut the ore bodies which

dred speaks for ITSELF said Mr.
Applewhite, land it certainly looks
fine. 1t is of high grade copper and
the same is found two hundred feet

Before leaving for Phoenix, Mr.
Kingdom was named by Dr. Ricketts,
as general superintendent of the Can

AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS
At Phoenix Monday, December 9TH, to
Friday, December 18th, 1914.

Though the program for the seven
teenth annual convention of the
American Mining Congress, to be
held in Phoenix December I'll is not
complete, it is already certain that the
session will be the most important in
the history of that organization. Com
pulsory arbitration of labor disputes,
workmen's compensation, mine tax
alton, mining investments, mapping OF
water supply in desert regions, federal
control of water power, and many
other subjects of vital interest are to
come up for consideration. Men
of International reputation, such as
John Hays Hammond, Otto R1hI and
Senator John F. Shafroth, will de-
liver addresses and take part in the
discussions.
Probably more time will de devoted
to compulsory arbitration than to any
other topic. The labor organizations
are alive to the fact that this subject
is to- be discussed in the mining con-
gress and that any action taken by
that body will have great weight at
Washington. Therefore they are
planning to send their ablest men to
the convention to represent the side
of the workmen. Among those whom
they will send are John P. White of
indianapolis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America,and Thomas
Lewis of Columbus, who stands high
in the councils of the same organiza-
ton.
Hon. James A. Emery of Washing
ton will open the discussion on COM
pulsory arbitration. Robert Walker
and Samuel O. Dunno of Chicago will
participate Right along the same
line, Charles Piez, also of r Chicago.
will speak on THE Cost of Strikes"
Doubtless the speakers on both sides
will draw important lessons from
the Colorado troubles.
Mining men generally favor COM
pulsory arbitration and many union
leaders hold the same view. There
is a widespread belief that the two

WHAT LEGISLATURE REALLY
INTENDS TO PRACTICE ECONOMY
Newly Elected Members Are Going to
Keep Their Prediction Promises
and Cut Down Expenses of Govern
ing State.

/ PHOENIX, Nov. 27.-Even with
out Charley Roberts watchdogging
around, the second state legislature
is going to be a somewhat economical
body. Most of the legislators had
made prediction promises to cut
down governmental expenses and the
general demand for tax reduction is
to be allowed to forget their pledges.
Throughout the capitol there is a
feeling of uneasiness, which grows
greater as January draws nearer. No
one knows how hard his department
is. going to be hit.
1t is we'll within the range of pos
sibilities that after March - Arizona
will have land commissioner instead
of land commission. The present
commission is composed of three
mem bers, all of whom have kept pref
ty busy inspecting and selecting land
granted the state under the statehood
enabling act. The law under which
they operate expires March IL and
they automatically go out of office.
Anew law will be necessary. There
is widespread belief that one man
VIII be charged with completing the
work the commission has begun.
1t is not likely that the corporation
will realize their
dream of having an attorney exclu-
siyely for their department They
have pointed out frequently that the
attorney general is so busy with the
work. of other departments that he
canot devote a great deal of time
toN corporation litigation or investiga-
tin. There is a tremendous amount
of legal work in connection with the
activities of the commission, but a
special attorney cannot be secured
without the payment, of fairly large
salary. In other ways the corpora
ton commissioners are hampered for
lack of funds, but they cannot expect
any big appropriations from the next
legislature.
AS many mines have suspended or
curtailed operations, the mine in
spector's force of deputies is likely
to be cut from three to one.
The office of inspector of weights
and measures may be eliminated en-
tirely unless the legislators under
stand pretty well that there is pub
lie demand for its retention.
Ii On the, militia department the, par
ing knife is almost certain to be laid
with a heavy hand. Adjutant General
Charles w. Harris will be asked to
get along with far less money than
he has been spending.
Secretary of State Sidney P. Os-
born will recommend in his annual
report that the fees of his office be
reduced His is one office that far
more than pays expenses.

BREWERY HARD
HIT By The DRYS
Sympathy is Expressed by Friends
for Management of Copper City Co.
Because OF Election Results.

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. Nov. 21.-Says
the Douglas International: H. NJ
Reno, president of the Copper City
Brewing company in this city, re-
turned to Douglas yesterday morn
ing from Phoenix, where he had
been to attend the state fair and to
attend a meeting of those who will
be affected by prohibition should it
be put into effect on January 1, as
provided by the prohibition amend
ment which carried in the recent
election. Mr.. Reno stated last night
that while several attorneys in the
state have been consulted in regard
to the validity of the measure and
as to when it becomes effective there
had been no determination as to
litigation, While the attorneys
are now closely examining the au-
thorities to be relied on for avert
ing prohibition on January 1, no
final opinion has been provided and
until this occurs those interested in
the new law, if it is law, will make
:
cation, if any, will be adopted.
Mr.. Reno stated that there is
difference of opinion among some of
the prominent attorneys of the state
as to just what is possible in the
matter of relief for those who would
gladly delay the enforcement of pro-
hibition in Arizona
The Reno Brothers, of this city,
of the Copper City Brewery in Doug

than one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. This business was estah-
lished here dozen years ago and it
has been growing in Importance
ever since. Since the original brew
cry plant was installed many addi-.
lions have been made both to the
plant and building. For several
years the enterprise was not profit
able. but during recent years it has
been a paying business. Its own
ers have at all times been useful

every effort for the advancement of
Douglas and Arizona and their
friends regret very much to see their
business disturbed. Besides the

HIGHER LICENSE
IN EFFECT NOV. |
Commission Finds 1t Impossible
to Change to $500 for
Coming Period.

A committee from the Retail Liquor
Dealers association of Rock Island
met with the city COMM ssioners TINS
morning at the mayors office and ap-
proved of a raise in the saloon license
from $500 to $500, to be effective Nov.
/. The new city ordinance embracing
regulatory measures for the saloons Is
heins shaped and will probably be
passed next Monday.
Ii was the desire of the commission
ers to make the license fee raise ef-
fectiye May /, but under the commits
sion form of government the liquor
dealers are entitled to 80 days notice
of the raise after the new ordinance
is passed. Since it will be fully hve
weeks before the raise in license can
be legally effected, the commissioners
abandoned the plan to demand the
raise before the beginning of the sec
ond period of the year, or Nov. 1.

Jake Leibck, Charged With
White Slavery, Favored by
Doubt of Girls Age.

Jake Leibck, former Rock Island
hotel waiter. under indictment for
white slavery, was sentenced to
year and a day in the federal peni-
Tertiary at saltwater, Mimi, today in
federal court at Davenport by Judge
Smith Mcpherson. Leibck changed
his plea of not guilty to guilty late
yesterday.
The court told Leibck that his Of
tense justified five years in prison, but
because the indictment did not read
that Aura Whites age was under Is
years, the court was forced to mete
out a light sentence on faulty bill.
Doubt developed before the grand
Jury voted a bill against Leibck re-
garding the girls age. She was said

Henry Apple, also held for white
slavery. it being alleged he enticed
Edith Thomas from Rock Island to

He plead guilty. Apple was held on
two charges of white slavery and his
