CERTIFICATES TO BE
 ISSUED BY CALLAGHAN

PHOENIX, Aug. 11.-Following his decision to pay the claims of most of the state departments. State Audi tor Callaghan yesterday advised those departments whose funds are still af- fected that he could audit and ap- prove their claims, but that pending decision by the Supreme court ccr- tihcates would be issued in lieu of warrants. Notice to this effect was transmitted to the tax commission, relative to the claims for the salar- ies of extra help and for office and travel expenses; to the corporation commission, regarding claims for salaries of clerks of the incorporat- ing departments; to the adjutant gen eral, in the matter of the national guard funds; and to the board of con trol, whose claims for publishing re- ports and travelling expenses are af- fected.
 At the same time the auditor an nounced his intention Of taking the entire case to the Supreme court oE appeal. As to a number of the ap- propriations, he stated, there remain ed no doubt as tG his authority to honor claims, but in others there was still some uncertainty. To secure an expression from the higher court on these points, it would be necessary to appeal the entire case, although the fact that an appeal was being taken would not affect the payment of most of the claims. There was ample authority for their payment in most cases under one authority or the other.
 In case the Supreme court decides that appropriations exist for the pay ment of those claims which still re- main in doubt, the auditor will call in his certificates and after cancelling them will issue warrants in their place. In case the court should find that no appropriations exist, persons holding the auditors certificates could present them at the next session of the legislature, when they would un- doubtedly be taken care of by a spe- cial appropriation. Bankers, it is pointed out would run little risk in accepting them, as they constitute a claim against the state.
 School Books Ordered.
 With the assurance that the auditor would honor claims against the school fund, at least up to $l00,O00, the Me Neil company has begun ordering books to fill its contract with the state. The last of the orders to the publishers will go out today,and the books are expected to be delivered by the first of September. It was stated last night that the publishers had been advised in advance, and that no delay was expected.
 The auditors letter regarding the issuance of certificates in lieu of war rants to the tax commission follows: Mir. Jesse L. Boyce, Secretary,
 State Tax Commission,
 State House.
 Dear Sir:-With reference to claims filed with our department for the pay alent of salaries of extra help and for travel and office expense of the state tax commission, I beg to advise that pending the decision Of the Supreme court On the question of appropria- tions this department can audit and approve such claims, but in lieu of is suing its warrant will issue a certi- ficate.
 Your very truly,
 J. C. CALLAGHAN,
 C+o+a Auditor

MINING ACTIVITY SHOWN
 BY BIG CONTRACT
(From Thursdays Daily.l


 President F. s. Viele and Chief En- gineer R. s. Mason, of the Arizona Power Company, have returned from an inspection trip to Fossil creek, where the second plant is under con- struction, both stating good headway is being made.
 Among the more important ad- juncts of this huge undertaking they mention the 20,000-foot Hume, that is one-third completed. It is semi-cir- cular in build, six feet in diameter and will carry 2,OOO miners inches of water. The company's transporta- ton service is working admirably, since repairs have been made to damaged wagon roads by recent rains, and constant traffic goes ahead out of Blue Bell siding Fifteen tons of freight daily are being handled on the sixty-five mile line by five auto trucks and three eight-mule freight teams. The force employed has reached a total of 200 men, and it is believed the increased electrical service will be ready by January 1, next.
 Business Expanding.
 Messrs. Viele and Mason stated the mining situation in the territory covered by their power service, was never so healthy. To support this belief they stated that contract had just been closed with the Hayden Development Company to supply the plant at the Copper Chief camp with 2OO-horse power, the service to be ready inside of forty-five days. The transmission line will be laid from the Verde valley division and w1l be five miles long.
 The United Verde Extension Com pany, at Jerome, operating the Little Daisy, is to increase at once its pow CT facilities an additional 100 horse power, making the total over 25f horse power
 At the Clarkdale smelter of the United Verde a heavy increase in electrical power is to be made at once The new equipment for the 400 kilowat generator is being set, of 600 horse power, that will be used to tram cars at this plant. The put ting in of transformers in a new brick and steel sub-station at Clark dale, capable of delivering 1900 horse power for regular motor work, is also going ahead. The entire ca pacity of the new Fossil creek plant, in fact, will be absorbed by mining in this field.

WHERE WAS GARDEN OF EDEN
Authorities Differ az to Location OF
Spot Where Man Lived In
Innocence.

Some authorities who have devoted
themselves to this subject have rem
dered the opinion that the Garden Of
Eden was on the peninsula between
the Tigris and the Euphrates, and this
position has been stoutly maintained.
In fact, a number Of locations in that
region, which was the Olden land of
Mesopotamia. cherish the tradition
that their site was that of the great
garden. Some fruitful and determined
writer's have insisted that the Gar
den of Eden was in the Vale Of Cash.
mere in India. Others have contend
ed that 1t was on an island which has
disappeared from the face Of the
earth. Many localities In all parts OF
the world have inhabitants so proud
Of their climate, scenery and products
that they insist to all strangers that
the Garden of Eden blossomed there.
The removal of the Garden of Eden
by means of scientific speculation to
the far southern part of South Amer
lea has, says the Washington Star, the
merit of novelty and audacity. but the
weight Of opinion Is that the most
beautiful and the most famous garden
of the world and of all time was some

the Tigris and the Euphrates.
