RAILROADS MUST STILL
 PAY CROSSING COSTS

PHOENlX, June 7.- Railroad companies must continue to bear the same proportion of the cost of high crossings according to a decision of the corporation commission yesterday in the matter of the application of the Cocbise county supervisors for cross ing over the Southern Pacific
 The railroad company asked that the cost of cattle guards and wing fences. which 1t has heretofore paid, be paid by the county. The eommis- sions ruling states that the statutes provide that the expense of such cross ings must be born by the railroad companies. and that it had no power to change this apportionment of the costs. The counsy pays for the grad ing of approaches to within two feet oi the rails. and the railroad company for the other expenses of the crossing including fences.

PHOENIX, June The senate re- considered it's action of Saturday of failing to pass Stapley's bill regulation on violations of the prohibition amend ment and returned the bill to the com mlttee. which during the day reported the measure with numerous amend ments and a second trial for passage may be made by the advocates of the measure tomorrow.
 There are three groups of sentiment in the senate. Chass and Riggs are absolutely opposed to any legislative enactment on the question Bacon. Webb and Carns are urgent advocates of exemptions of use of alcohol for medicinal purposes. while Stapely, thr introducer of the bill. is of the opinion that the recommendation of the state board of chemists, and by him trans mitted to the senate was sufficient to include the bill in a program of enact ments the session should consider. In the house Sweeney introduced a bill creating a commissioner of labor. which in it's form is similar to the pro- posal of labor members at the first seS- sion It provides for s3O0O year for a commissioner with deputy at half that salary. and 5000 a year travel ing expenses.
 The balance of the day was taken up
 with the consideration of a public land bill reported to the house this morning 1 IL creates a department consisting of , the governor. attorney general and state engineer who shall appoint a 1 single commissioner with salary of ! s3.6OO. The commissioner is author
 ized to appoint deputies and is
 placed in charge of all land owned by the state, The commissioner IS to SC | feet the lands given the state under the enabling act grants, and shall appoint

PROSPERITY IN
 ARIZONA MINING CIRCLES

Within the past month there has been considerable evidence tha; prosperity in mining iu the state of Arizona is rapidly returning. says Prof (. F.. | W illis in the Arizona magazine Throgh- out the entire state We have notices of many properties that have been shut down for some time resuming op- erations; many properties are building reduction plant or are about to do SC. The condition points to an era of pros. peritv before the end of the year 1915. Probable the most notable have been the development of the Tombstone dis triCt. which IS gradually assuming its old time prosperity. The Phelps | Dodge Co.,. operating the mine under the name of the Bunker Hill Mining Co. has done much to bring this about Every house is occupied and co nsider- able quantities of ore havs already been shipped to the shelter.
 The operation of this company have olso boomed other properties in the same district. and many mines ave been leased. the most Important being the lease of the Ingersol mine by the Heart Aaggin. Lewis people.
 Improved business conditions have waraentcd the resumption of operations Sou invest Copper Co. which has been shut down since l9O6. These mines are situated 26 miles south of San simon. and contain large bodies of ore
 A deal was recently closed at Bow.e for stI, sale of rhe Silver Strike mines II Is sand that the purchase price was S30 ODO A small test mill has been purchased and as soon as it is erected the work will begin
 The prospeces around Benson look 10 the early opening of the Benson shelter. which has been idle many years. The reason for this is the tap. ping of the Dos Dabezas district by the new Mascot and Southwestern railroad
 In the Clifton district we note that the Shannon Copper Co is resumins operations a new smelter has been blown in, and the Shannon now affords employment for many hundreds of men. The future prospects of the cop per industry is quite encouraging ng owing to the steady increase in price for the past few weeks. War cannot destroy. but only postpone mining ac. tivity; after the destruction of wal comes. the reconstruction of peace and with peace vii! come an intenSi fled demand for the metals on whicf material civilization depends
 The Arizona Copper Co. has beer gradually increasing its production and during the last month has pro- duced about 300 tons more than ir any other month since the slump
 In Gila county the most notabl, transfer has been that of the Key stone property to the Inspiration. With the acquisition of the New Key stone, the Inspiration now controls !; large contiguous area with it's, ort bodies joined by the proven mine raj. ized zone ol Keystone. The two work ing shafts of the Inspiration. which lies close to tap the entire property through underground openings, whici may now be driven through the Key. stone district.

Thus Regent John Rea, who was

that some members of the political
ucience department were to get the

This report gained credence be-
cause of the statement made by leg
islative leaders, at the close of the
session, that the regents would
take care" of the radicals when
the proper time came. Speaker
Conner dropped his fight against
the political science department
only on such an agreement, his
friends said.
Now the time has come for the
regents to deliver. II they ever
made the agreement which legisla-
tive leaders said they did.
But Rea says there's not chance.
Furthermore, he wants it under
stood that he's the leading cham
peen of academic freedom in this
whole section of the country. But
for him. he says himself, some of
the radicals would have been given
the academic ooft long before this.
