MINING COURSES
ARE A GREAT SUCCESS

TUCSON. Nov. 12-The first group
OF four short courses for practical
miners offered at the University of
Arizona will be finished on Novem-
Der 27tn. They constitute what
what might be called the Prospect
or's Course, since the subjects taught
are mineralogy. blowpipe analysis,
mining geology, petrology, surveying
and field geology. The enrolment
exceeded expectations, and all who
took the work are enthusiastic in their
statements of the benefits received.
The second group of three courses
begins November 29th, and runs I'M
til January 18th. The subjects repre-
sented and the time when each will
be given are:
Course S. Assaying. November
10Th to December 18th, inclusive.
Course g. Cyanidation and Metal
lurgy OF gold and silver, December
18th to 23rd, inclusive.
Course ]. Concentration and flota-
ton, January 3rd to 18th, inclusive.
These courses are open to anyone
who can read and write and do simple
problems in arithmetic; and the fee
for each course is only 500 for resi-
dents of Arizona. a man may enroll
for any or all OF the courses, as he de-
sires.
All mining men realize the very
great value of knowing how to assay
their own ores; and a knowledge OF
practical cyanidation, Aotation, or
other forms OF extraction or conccn-
tration may we'll prove the salvation
OF property far from public smelt-
ers or mills. Por these reasons, it is
anticipated that the capacity OF the
College OF Mines and Engineering
will be taxed to accommodate all who
desire instruction in these lines.
The idea OF two weeks course in
one subject, rather than a six or eight
weeks course covering a large num-
Der, is unique, and is proving highly
successful. This plan makes ii pos
sible to inpart a practical. working
knowledge OF the topic studied, rath-
er than mere superficial presenta-
ton OF its principles.
\ circular containing descriptions
OF the various courses and other in
formation may be obtained by ap-
plying to the Dean OF the College of
Mines and Engineering, University
OF Arizona. Tucson, Arizona

SIX RULES FOR THE
RAISING OF GIRLS

SACRAMENTO. Nov. IS. = MIS-.
Edward Hyatt, assistant State super
intendent of public instruction, who
recently created a sensation by dc
claring mo ono could tell her how
her daughters should dress while at
tending high school" has formulated
the following rules for raising girls:
First-Aboyc all things, encourage
the child to tell the truth. When a
child does wrong and confesscs ii,
spanking gives birth to the thought
OF lying to avoid future punishment.
Second-Teach a girl to dress with
in her means. Let her know the fl
nancial circumstances of her family,
and the right kind OF girl will not
try to equal the rich child in dress.
Third-Let the girl take part ii
family affairs so that she will not be
lievc herself above such things.
Fourth-Make the home so attrac
tive and agreeable that she will moi
have to so visiting to find social
amusement.
Fifth-Encouragc the sirl to dcvcl
cp her tastes for attractive dresses
ones that will make her appearance
pleasing. Such can be accomplished
with very meagre means. Let the
young high school girl try different
ways of dressing her hair attractivcly
Sixth-Teach the girl to consult
her mother regarding ner clothes
The mothers taste is usually the best
She knows better than any outsider
how her girl should dress.

PACKING IS SLOW;
WILL BUILD ROAD
(From Saturdays Daily. }

John Harlan, superintendent OF TIC
Crook mine, who was in the city yes
terday. stated that new wagon road
is to be built to the mine to connect
with the county highway in Crook
canyon, OF about mile i'll length
This move is due to the steady pro-
duction from that property, warrant
ed from recent development, over 800
tons being packed in the past month
to the Vcnezia mill for treatmcn;.
The freight team will then take the
place OF the pack animal. Harlan
states the Vcnezia mill is to begin
dropping stamps on Crook ores next
Monday, and that mine work is TO so
ahead for the winter.

HIS WORD OF HONOR
NOT LEGAL TENDER

TUCSON. Nov. 12.-The fact that
the honor system is not in vogue
among Pima county officers caused
Miguel Lopez, an escaped honor man.
much anguish yesterday after he had
been captured by Deputy Sheriff Jud
Arnold.
Lopez made his escape" from the
honor road camp near Oracle about a
month and half ago. II seems that
he had several slips from mis- proud
position as honor man, and the boss
placed shackles on his legs. Lopez
found way to get loose from the
irons one day, and tied up his legs
to hide the broken iron. telling the
boss that he was hurt Then he cs-
capped and was not heard OF again un-
til Arnold picked him up the other
day.
However. ne did not have the
shackles. This worried him very
much, as ne said that the State owned
the SnackleS and might need them.
Il have got them hid out in the
desert near town." he told Arnold.
and if you let me go out there alone
will bring them back"
Lopez made great promises on his
Solemn honor" that he would surely
bring the shackles back. Notwitf-
standing all his protestations the
local officers turned deaf ear to his
proposal and the shackles are still
cut in the desert while Lopez is in
the Pima county jail.
Lopez is reported to feel very much
grieved over the lack OF faith shown
by Pima county officers in the word
OF an escaped honor man.

SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
FOR THE ELOPERS
(From Sundays daily.)


Jose Mojica and Mrs Victoria
Chavez Yesterday were found guilty
by Justice Of the Peace w. A. Kearns

wit, clipping from Clarkdale and de-
sertion of family by Victoria Chavez
and taking bedding. $50 cash and com-
hitting adultery" and were each
sentenced to serve a term of six
months in the county Jail.
Sheriff Young, who attended the
hearing, returned with the two de-
PENDANTS yesterday afternoon and
placed them in jail to serve their
time
The authorities tell story of the
hearing, summarized as follows: Jus
tice Kearns took the part OF jurist
and attorney for the prosecution and
Attorney E. B. Goodwin OF Phoenix
attempted to defend the Mexican
woman and man.
While Mojica was on the stand, the
justice asked him if he had not slept
with the woman and the Mexican said
that he had not. NO." exclaimed the
justice, you're a liar" Kearns told
the Mexican that if he would not own
up to it he would prove it and he
placed one of the Mexican woman's
three small sons on the stand, asking
the boy if Mojica and his mother had
slept together. The lad replied that
they had every night. He said that
his father worked nights. Mojica has
been boarding at the home of Chavez
for the past three months.
After the evidence was presented.
Attorney Goodwin started to argue
the case but had not said many words
when kearns told him to sit down.
Kearns then proceeded to sentence
the woman and the man giving
them each six months and or
dering that the $50 which Afojica
claims is his personal property. be
given TO the husband who swore .
the complaint to assist him in sup
porting his children. After the iru-
position OF sentences he told Goodwin
to go ahead with his argument. The
money was not turned over because
Goodwin said he was going to appeal
/ the case, and ask for writ OF habeas
/ corpus. claiming that the justice had
no right to sentence the two MeXi-
cans but should have bound them
over if he thought they were guilty.
When he arrived in Prescott last
night he decided to turn the case over
to another attorney and J. f. Russell
was called. Mojica when he talked
with Russell said that he did not want
any lawyer

BIGGEST LITTLE MINE
IN THE WHOLE STATE
(By Chas. F. Willisl

The Snattuck mine of the Warren
district enjoys many rare distinctions
and is different from any other mine
in rhe State. No mine in Arizona can
display in their natural positions as
many or as beautiful ore specimens
as can the Shattuck. 1t is nearly a
complete neurological collection
within one mine. These ores are not
only found in commercial quantities
but in cabinet specimens and crystals
OF various sizes, shapes and hues.
Copper i'll its various forms OF car
Donates, oxides and sulphides Occur
pied the first attention, this being
followed by some exceedingly rich
ores OF lead, some of them being in
the rarer forms, and we have lately
heard OF vanadium being added to
their commercial product The seri-
cite crystals that are found or the
property OF the Shattuck are especial
ly noticeable by their variety and are
distinctly attractive where the white
needles are attached to the brown and
reddish base.
But more and beautiful are the
specimens found in the Shattuck cave
This wonderful cave is an immense
dome-shaped room, milk white in col
or, 20 feet long, $50 feet wide and
10 feet high. The roof is covered
with heavy stalactites, and the floor
is composed OF large and small crys-
tails, in appearance like a coral bed
out OF which rise magnificent stalag-
mites to the height OF 20 feet and
more. Odd shapes rise out of the
darkness on every side as one pro
crosses, each more marvellous than
the last, and all the same pure white
lime
AS the cave is irregular. it is pos
sible to journey up the sides where
the stalactites and the stalagmites of
ten come within few inches of each
other, and closer TO the roof they
meet. forming columns. Some bril-
liant with moisture. some dry, many
Of them are still in the process OF
formation
The cave OF the Shattuck is one OF
the wonderful sights OF the State OF
Arizona, but it will be lost to sight
scers when the needs OF the metals
force the mine working under it. The
whole property OF the biggest little
mine is a wonderful meteorological
curiosity. but still regular consis-
tent dividend payer.
