COMMERCIAL IS PRE-
 PAIRING TO RESUME
(Prom Thursdays DaiIy.)

It will be learned with very much satisfaction in this community, as well as throughout the mining sections of the county, that the commercial mines in Copper Basin are to resume in a short time.
 Major A. ]. PickreiI, in charge of the affairs of the syndicate in this county, made announcement yester- day to this effect, and while giving no specific date for reviving the camp stated that as soon as wagon road conditions would permit of freight ing to Skull valley, development would begin. He also stated that un- der the same conditions the Snoozcr of the Senator group would go into the shipping class again with its cop per ores, the railroad loading point being this city. Both products are to be shipped to Douglas smelters of the Copper Queen.
 Speaking of the outlook in Cop per Basin, Major Pickrell was some what sanguine of conditions prevail ing, saying that large tonnage had been exposed when work suspended several months ago. Large ore bod ies were determined in the crosscut driven into virgin ground, that rang ed to as high as seventeen per cent, when the crash came to copper throughout the state, and the Com mercial with many others went out A short time afterward engineers of the Copper Queen gave the Com mercial holdings a critical inyestiga- ton, cutting over 800 samples to as certain absolute mineral conditions, presumably for making analytical tests for installing teaching plant. move that was reported to be un- der consideration.
 Major Pickrell also stated yester- day that ores of eight to ten per cent will be shipped south. Geo. C. Ruff uer again has the contract for the freighting, and will deliver fifty tons per day to the railroad at Skull val ley.

START SHIPPING
 FROM LITTLE DAISY
(From Thursdays DAly.)

NFTOW HuT SQdy D3iy.)
 The many shareholders in Pres colt of the United Verde Extension Mining Co.,, which is more familiarly known as the Little Daisy, will be very much interested to learn that the property has entered the shipping class.
 This important information was learned yesterday from official sourc- es, and it is quite probable this sys- tenn will prevail without interruption. The product comes from the zone de- termined in the crosscut driven from the 1,20O-foot level, where an ore body fully thirty feet thick was ex- posed some months ago, and from which condition the property sprang into rating that gives it all the ear marks of another copper bonanza. The product is going to the smelter of the United Verde, and the sacking of ore has commenced.
 As this section of the mine is pro ducing, the driving of the levels from the 1,40O also goes ahead energetical- ly, and will be continued until the ore body is penetrated. Rhe general sit nation at the camp is reported as gratifying, and mining men state only future development is necessary to prove another big mine fot that belt.

BIG OPERATIONS PLAN
 NED FOR BELCHER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 w. w. Lewis, manager of the Great Bclcher mines on Big Bug creek, arrived from the camp yester- day and reported plans were being formulated for carrying out a large line of work that will be inaugurated during the present month. The face of the mountain on the south side of the Belcher will be practically quarried away, he states, this method being decided upon as the outcome of shipments made to Humboldt smelters, that gave satisfactory net returns.
 No further shipping, however, will take place, MT. Lewis stating that the company is financed to avoid addi- tional expense of handling the out put and will let it remain on the dump. Another interesting matter he mentioned as quite probable, in operations to go ahead from the Flu genia side of the range, and where surface indications were proved as quite attractive. for outlaying addi- tional capital. Weather conditions to begin work at once are unfavorable, snow being deep at the point select ed. ~

 This development was undertaken to determine the resources of the Cash, and to afford as we'll base for future operations in a zone that was we'll defined in known ore bodies. The Snoozer attaining prominent rat ing in months gone as a shipper, stimulated this exploration that ab- solute mineral conditions might be established The winze was sunk for l90 feet before the initial point was reached.
 Getchell stated yesterday that min eral characteristics of the Cash are identical to that of its neighbor, the Snoozer, and henceforth large de velopment is to go ahead.

INITIATIVE LAW IN
 NEED OF FIXING

PHOENIX, Feb. 3-Amendment of the election laws to prevent fraud reduction of fees charged by the state for public service, and the general distribution of new laws in printed form to the people of the state are recommended by Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn in his annual re- port to the governor.
 Under the existing law providing for signatures to petitions for initia- ed and referred measures, Secretary Osborn states that it is impossible to ascertain whether or not the sign CTS are qualified electors or have any right to sign the petition. Because of this, fraud could be easily prac ticed and if practiced would be prac- tically impossible to detect. Any qualified voter has the right to sign an Initiative, referendum or re- call petition and as the statutes do not require registration in order that l person may be qualified elector t is impossible to check the sigma lures to petitions.
 That the charges prescribed by law for the copying of laws and perform ing other services is entirely too high md in some cases cXorbitant is the statement of the secretary of state. who would reduce the fees so as to cover the actual cost and nothing more. Excessive fees, the report says. aesult in a loss of revenue to the state, because they prevent a large number from obtaining copies of the laws who would otherwise do SO Newly enacted laws, the report rec ommends, should be printed for gen :ral distribution and would be nf great practical benefit.
 Initiated measures
 That the initiated measures were expensive as well as numerous at the last election and bid fair to become .ven more SO is shown in the report. In 1912 the publicity pamphlet con tained only g pages and was mail d to only some 10000 persons at l cost of a little over $2,2O0. Last year, however, nineteen propositions were submitted and the publicity pamphlet contained 116 pages. u was printed and mailed to 7O,lSl persons at a total cost of $6,3324I. he postage alone amounting to Sl,950 At the general election to he leld in November, l916, the number of signatures required 10 insure the submission of proposition under the initiative and referendum or re all will be more than double what | was in 1914 and will be as follows Con nstitutional amendment, 7.56I: statutes. 5,lO1; referendum, 2.551.
 Governor Commutes Many.
 The records of the secretary of state shows that Governor Hunt has granted l05 communications of sen tencc, five full and unconditional par. Ions, 20 restorations to citizenship. md has issued five proclamations ot -epricve. In addition. fourteen holi- lay and other proclamations were issued, i9 appointments made and !23 notarial commissions issued The receipts from this item alone the past year amounted to S557.57.

Fifteen Ot me CldSS Ol clBHteen foreigners who took the examination for certificates of citizenship yester- day in open court before Frederick Jones, special examiner for the bu- reau of immigration at Los Angeles, passed, two were dismissed and one case continued
 The examinations came after lec- ture the preceding evening by Judge Smith in his chambers on matters pertaining to citizenship. which was attended by all the applicants. the special examiner and clerk of the Su- perior court, who is the naturaliza- ton officer in charge at this place
 Examiner Jones, who was able to leave for Los Angeles on the yester- day afternoon train, paid a compE- ment to the court and P. J. Farley. stating that the class was one of the best he had ever examined.
 Those who passed were:
 From Great Britain-Evan Davies, Wren T. Herdman, Geo. Henry Mar tin, Timothy O'Brien, Allen John Richardson, John Stephen Riordan. John Daniel Sullivan.
 From Belgium-Louis Coppens.
 From Germany-Herman Boehm.
 From Italy-John Santiago. Peters Vallo.
 From Austria-Joseph Dragash. Tony Purch.
 From Russia-Apolinary Faldow- ski.
 Anton Kauzarich and Peter Eek berg. the former from Austria and the latter from Sweden, were dis missed, the first having went back to Austria since he filed his first pa pers and served in the army three years, and the second having as one of his witnesses man who had been in Oregon two years of the time during which he was supposed to have constantly known the appli- cant, both reasons being sufficient grounds upon which to withhold cit izenship certificates. The case of John Kempatich, an Austrian, was continued to next March to give him more time in which to familiarize himself with the civil government of the United States. As soon as his case was dismissed, Anton Kauza- rich filed first papers on another trial, saying he was determined to pass the next time.
 One of tile peculiar incidents of the examination was German, R. J. Bleck. appearing as a witness for the Belgian, Louis Coppens.
 When asked who was the presiding officer of the house of representa- tives, Herman Boehm, scratching his head a moment said, 'T just can't think, but I know he is from Mis- souri," And he was credited with a good answer. --
 The oath which the men were re- quired to take reads as. follows: '."I hereby declare, on oath, that absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate; state, or sovereignty, and particularly to
 of whom I have heretofore been subject; that I will support and defend the constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and that will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. So help me God"
 It was really remarkable to hear the applicants answer the questions that were propounded, including sub jects upon which the average Ameri- can is not as we'll posted as they proved to be- In fact it is extreme ly doubtful if one man out of ten in the business and professional life of the United States could pass the ex- animation these men passed Yester- day.
