Bids for he Construction of Road to
 New CorneIia Will Be Opened on
 Thursday at Warren-Work to be Rushed.

BISBEE+The bids for the construc be built from Gila Bend on the South ern Pacific to the New Cornelia mine west of Tucson one hundred and thirty miles, will be opened on Thurs day at Warren and it is expected that the contract will be awarded by the middle of next week. This was the statement of Captain Greenway who left for Douglas yesterday, with Dr. L. D. Ricketts on a short business trip. Captain Greenway stated that it is the intention to have this rail- road completed and ready for opera tion before the end of the present year.
 It is the intention of the New Cor nelia company to. have all material ordered and delivered at Gila Bend so that it will be the first traffic over the new line. It is the purpose to erect concentrator mill of 400 tons capacity, and this latter to be in creased to the required capacity for treating 600 tons of the New Cornelia ore. In connection with the concen- trator will be a teaching plant The concentrator will treat ore by the oil flotation process.
 Captain Greenway, who is in charge of this property, says that he expects that 2,OOO men will be employed at the New Cornelia during the time the reduction works are under construc- tion,as this work will be pushed with all possible vigor. He said that from the time of the completion of the rail road to the mine he hopes to have ] the mill ready for production in about 20 months.
 c. & A. New Record.
 According to Captain Greenway, the bullion output of the Calumet & Ari zona for the month of May was a new record fo1 that company, amounting ito above five and one4half million
 pounds of copper. The total product of the shelter in Douglas was between
 seven and eight million pounds O. cooper, about two million of this com ling from custom ore, including tha from the Shattuck-Arizona.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 30.-There are 2,2S6,72S miles of railroad in Ari- zona, valued for purposes of taxation lat total of $91, ,O41 ,472.7O. These fig ures have just been given out by the tax commission.
 Last year the mileage was 2,243, 3,519 and the valuation was $9O,2O4, ,4O3.5 The difference amounts to less than a million dollars.
 The greatest difference was in the valuation placed on the Ray & Gila Valley line, which includes fraction over nine miles of track. In 1914 the commission valued this road at $114,- 500 a mile, the highest valuation in the entire state. This year the mile valuation is down to $59, 300, reducing the total from s1,O7O, ,0O25O to $552.- 913.2O. Some of the earnings charged against the railroad in 1914 are this year charged to the Ray mine, so the revenue derived by the state and Pinal county will be practically the same.
 A raise of approximately $2,000 mile is made in the valuation placed on the Santa Fe main line. The val nations of the other roads remain prac- tically the same.

SCHOOL FUND MAY BE NIL THIS
 YEAR
Former Attorney General BuIIard Ad. vises Auditor Caiaghan Not to Pay Certain Appropropriaton Items.
APPEALING CLAUSES
 CANNOT BE VETOED
Court Action is Expected to Follow Before caIIaehan, Will Issue the Warrants-Regu Routine Re- sumed.

PHOENIX, June 0.-According to an opinion transmitted to Auditor Cal laghan this afternoon by former At torney General Bullard, grave ques- lions exist as to the legality of all but . few sections of the appropriation bill. He says the governor had the right to veto any item of money but no repeating clauses. All repeating clauses stand.
 The section of the appropriation for a state school fund affords an il- Iustration as a result of the gover- nor's vetoes. The statutory State ap- propriaion for schools is $500,000 a year. The legislature appropriated e10O,OOO adding clause repeating the statutory appropriation. Hunt vetoed the $100,000 item and the re- pealing clause. The veto of the item stands but not the veto of the clause. Therefore there is no school fund. {. Bgllard advises Callaghan to refuse to pay any money under the sections regarding which there is a question until they are passed upon by the court. The matter will probably be brought before the Maricopa su- periorior court in a day or two. Cal laghan will not insist on the matter being taken before the supreme court.
 Hunt says positively, there will be no extra session. He says the sts te will have to worry along. Under his orders the state departments, banish- ed to temporary quarters when the legislature met, have moved back to the legislative committee rooms.
 There will have to be supreme court decision on some of the provis ions of the general appropriation bill according to a statement of Attorney General Wiley Jones, following a con ference Wednesday afternoon witr former Attorney General, G. P. Bull lard.
 Though our conference is not end ed, we will not agree on some of thu provisions.' said Jones'
 It is generally conceded that the ef feet of the governors veto of the leg sslatures repeating clauses of ths provisions of the bill, is a question that will have to be thrs shed out b.

 that he will not pay any appropria- tions until he receives an opinion from the attorney general. and has also secured Bullard's advice in the mat lter.

Minot.-Judge X. E. Leighton OF the
district court has just rendered
decision in the case of the state OF
North Dakota at the relation OF J.
C. Johnson against the school board OF
school district No. 10 of Ward county,
which involves the question OF the
erection of school house in that part
of the district which can be reached
by children who reside on sections .,
6, Z and s. The question before the
court was a novel one. 1t involved
the construction of section 1883 OF the
law - 1915 which purports to make
no requirement for the construction OF
a school building for the accommoda-
ton of children who are able to reach
another school by travelling not more
than two and half miles. The action
was in the form of mandamus to
compel the board to erect school
building which would accommodate
the children of one man living within
three.quarters of mile of the present
structure which is located on section
8, and others living at slightly greater
distances, to the number of twenty-five

TRUE, SAYS oLD-TIMER
Pioneer Ought to Know, for He's
Watched the Stream Grow Up
From a Creek to a Full
Grown River.

New York.-Colonel Zebulon Taylor
from the Panhandle" as he signed
himself on the register, was talking
about things down in his part of the
country.
"A peculiar thing happened recent
ly down in my section of the state,
he said, land though this Is the first
time I've heard Of it, 1 understand
that it happens right along.
You know, there's little river
down there called the Rio Bravo. 1t
amt much of a stream at best, but
there's always plenty Of water In 1t
and, what's more, it's chock full OF
fish.
But those fish have been having a
bad time. One time last year when
some irrigation sharps tried to swing
a dam across the river the fish got
spread all over the country and there
was q terrible mortality. Along came
one of those sudden rains and the
dam backed the water up and 1t
flower all over the countryside, TAX
ing scads of fish with it. When the
flood went down-most Of 1t went
down into the soft soil-the fish were
left stranded high and dry.
But This Was Worse.
This was bad enough, but the real
trouble, the one l was going to tell
about, happened just before l came
North. We had what was the worst
storm / ever saw, and I've been living
round those parts for a good many
years.
1T came up suddenly and after the
main part of the heavy artillery was
over, it Just naturally got down to bust
ness, and there never was so much
rain since the flood.
: well, the Bravo flows through soft
soil, and this was the cause of the
tragedy that happened. The heavy
drops of rain, coming down so hard,
washed mud and silt into the river
until it looked like long strip OF
chocolate. It's slow enough at best,
but the muddy water seemed to stand
still. As sometimes happens, the
rain was followed by short but very
hard hailstOrrn.
when the hail quit, and 1t only
lasted about is minutes, the sun came
out as usual. My little boy went out
to paddle in the wet, and pretty soon
he comes in and asks If he can go
down to the river. He says that all
the other boys are bringing home Just

SAY POISON KILLS CHICKENS

With Apprehension.

Grand Forks.-Gopher poison. used
extensively by farmers in many Sec
lions of the state this year, has been
responsible for diminishing the supply
of prairie chickens, say Grand Forks
hunters who have returned from the
fields This year, the state agricultur-
al college has been particularly active
in combating the gopher evil, and
thousands of acres in the state have
been "baited" with poison. ~
The effect upon the supply of wild
game is looked upon with apprehension
by the sportsmen of the state-and
they may seek some effectual means
of preventing setting out poison in
such manner as to kill the game.

How to Clean Stone Window stills.

to clean stone steps or stone window
stills:
Get five cents worth of the coars-

stone window stills briskly until all
marks are removed, then simply dust
them with a duster or rag. They
will stay white much longer by using
this method than scrubbing them with
water. always wear a pair of canvas
