ing the Michigan youth. He did it
last year in the tournament at Grand
Rapids after beating Sawyer in the
semi-fnals, just as he did yesterday.
Sawyer and Evans played the most
remarkable match golf seen in a
tournament in years. Sawyer was
always ahead until the 34th hole, but
Evans finished with shots that were
supernatural. Fourteen Of the S5
holes were won under par figures, ten
were won at par and seven were tied
at par. That is indication enough Of
the wonderful work of the two Chi
cagoans.
Sawyer took one 455-yard hole, a
par five, in three, and another par
four was taken in two when Evans
knocked his ball into the cup. De-
spite these fine holes by Sawyer, Ev-
ans had the best medal score, COW
ering the SO holes in 71-72, for 143,
and Sawyer was five strokes worse.
Sawyer lacked the consistency of
Evans, owing to the fact he plays too
little golf. If the Wheaton man had
the opportunity for more practice he
would be a fighting contender in
every big tournament of the country.

RowIand's White Sox exhibited one
peculiar attribute Of a championship
team yesterday that encouraged the
fans who watch the little things Of
the game. That was ability to get
runs when necessary and to play for
Just the required margin.
Early in the game the White Sox
rolled home a couple of runs on some
sound hitting and sacrificing. This
seemed like a good lead, with Eddie
Cicotte pitching one of the best
games Of his career. In the first sew
en- innings Eddie had famed ten men
and been found for but two hits. He
wavered a trife in the eighth and the
Yanks rolled home a run.

BIG MINING DEAL
 AFFECTS MANY RESIDENTS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 It is quite probable that from 100 to 150 Prescott shareholders of the London-Arizona Mining Company will realize on their investment deal having been ratified between that syndicate and the Guggenheim inter ests, by which these large holdings pass into the latter's hands.
 C. E. Finney, general manager of the retiring company was in Phoenix on Monday, coming from Los An geles on the special mission to close up final negotiations for the transfer. The Guggenheims in a recent deal, took over the interests of the Gila Sulphide Copper Company, at Christ mas, and in acquiring the London Arizona group, which adjoins, will operate jointly both holdings.
 The terms on which the London Arizona was taken over were not learned, but it is reported that long time operating agreement was decid- ed upon among the largest share holders. For several years the prop erty has been idle, but that it now faces a better future. is admitted by many in this city who were conver- sant with plans to negotiate, and which have had an agreeable ter imitation.

MAKE FORESTS ATTRAC-
 TIVE TO FISHERMEN

ALBUQUERQUE, July 20.-Long hot office days, panama hats, and dripping ice wagons are the fisher mans code signal for the overhauling of tackle and the dreaming of cool dreams about breezy mountain mead ows and deep holes full of big ones.' 9 Most Southwestern trout waters are in the national forest, and advices re- ceived from the U. s. forest service throw some hopeful side-lights on the question of big ones" for the future It is announced that during the present summer, the forest rang CTS, in cooperation with the bureau of fisheries, expect to place sixteen consignments of trout fry into as many different streams and lakes with in the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico. A special effort is being made to plant trout in unstock- cd mountain lakes and other suitable waters heretofore devoid of fish. The big gamy rainbows are to be used in these lakes, while the native black spotted trout are to be used in plant ing streams.
 Fish have been requisitioned for stocking the following waters; Little Colorado river in the Apache nation al forest; Red river, Pueblo lakes, Rio Vallecitos, and Rio San Antone in the Carson national forest; Fry canyon, Jacobson canyon, and Mari jilda canyon in the Crook national forest; Rio Ruidoso in the Lincoln national forest; Santa Fe creek, Holy Ghost, and Spirit Lake in the Pecos division of the Santa Fe national for est; Rito de los Frijoles, and Rio Gallina in the Jamez division of the Santa Fe national forest; Chevalon canyon in the Sitgreaves national for est; and San AIateo canyon in the Datil national forest.
 Good fishing increases the value of the national forests, says the dis trict forester. It brings people. These people first of all benefit themselves by getting health and rest. Secondly, they benefit the community by leav- ing dollars behind them. Thirdly, they benefit the forest by carrying away real impressions of the timber range, and other forest resources. These impressions "come back" in the form of increased business.

FIVE VOTES CARRY
 S45,OOO BOND ISSUE
(From Wednesdav,s Dailvl

Clarkdale is certainly strong on education and as a result there will be before a great while elapses a $45,0O0 school building in the course of erection in the Model City of Ari- zona.
 At the election held there, accord ing to the official returns received at the office of the board of supervisors yesterday the issue carried with a whoop and bang, there not being a single dissenting vote against the pro- ject to provide a place to teach the young idea of that section how to shoot
 But here is the strange part of the affair. Although Clarkdale boasts of Q goodly population in point of num- bers. there are only five qualified voters in the school district Each and every one of them. however, marched to the polls and put in one vote for the cause. The explanation is simple when one is conversant with the facts. Clarkdale is the private property of Senator Clark or the United Verde, which is one and the same thing and therefore of course as the corporation itself could not exercise the right of suffrage 1t left only a few who were on the assess ment roll and therefore qualified to register their desires at bond cleo tions to cast their ballots. The result will be that Senator Clark and the Santa Fe will be the ones to pay for the new school building.
 The new bond issue which will put Clarkdale on the educational map as far as a modern school building is concerned is for S45,000, divided into 45 bonds of the denomination Of $1,000 each. The bonds run for 20 years except the district reserves the right and privilege after 10 years to pay all the bonds then outstanding. The bonds bear per cent interest. The school district of Clarkdale has an assessed valuation of over $3,000,- GOO but the property as stated before is practically all owned by Senatot Clark and in this instance he will be the angel.

BOARD TO IGNORE
 COMMISSIONS MANDATE
(F1om Thnrsdav,s DailvN

u I OAAA 4lAAA 9NieaI -D0AAD sy
 There will be no sinking fund pro vided in the levy made by the board of supervisors to meet the $338,OO0 railroad bond indebtedness of this county" declared William Stephens. the chairman, yesterday.
 Neither last year nor the year be- fore did we heed the mandate of the state tax tax commission to make such levy. There is no provision Of law giving the commission the au thority to issue such mandate. If there is we have yet failed to dis cover if. Of course it is little early to declare the action of the board as formal demand of such a character has not been made upon us, but since we have been unoficially informed that such a course is to be pursued our attitude might as well be known now as in the future
 Personally, I cannot see any good reason for making levy for this pur- pose as the bonds do not mature for many years to come. In the mean time the state lands given by the en- abling act for this purpose, should through their sale, bring in a sufi- cient sum to liquidate this indebted ness in its entirety. II we should provide for a sinking fund such as the tax commission wants, it would be simply piling up good Yavapai money in the state treasury which would not be doing this county a par ticle of good"
 The developments in this situation will be watched with great interest not only locally but all over the state as well. The first year most of the counties which are burdened with railroad bonds, needed the mandate of the tax commission and made the levy as requested. Yavapai being the only one to ignore it The following year. however, several of the counties followed the lead of the "rebellious county of the north" and also refused to make the levy
 It is likely the matter will be brought to a focus this year by the tax commission taking the matter into the courts and seeking through writ of mandate to compel the local board of supervisors to make the levy. It will then be determined whether the supervisors are within their legal rights by Standing pat" or whether the tax commission is exceeding its jurisdiction.

LOOKOUT MINE
 BEGINS ACTIVE CAREER
(From Thursday,s OailvA

(From Thursdays Oailv.)
 The Lookout group of gold and copper mines, of Slate Creek dis trict, owned by the Lookout Copper Company, is to become active again for the first time in many years.
 Frank Kestor, Richard Hoskins and A. B. Peach, have secured a lease on the property, and are now establishing a camp, the first load of freight leaving the city yesterday. MT. Peach, however, will not be at the camp with his associates, retain ing his position as foreman of the Commercial mines in Copper Basin. The Lookout in years gone by had considerable development performed. The Davis, now producing handsome ly under the leasing system, is owned by the Lookout Company, and is sit uated in close proximity to the claims to be taken over by the new leasers. It is presumed the fine showing made by the Davis is an inducement for work on the Lookout. On the latter a large amount of prepar- atory work will be given before ac- tual development gets under way.

PARDEE EXPANDS;
 CLOSES BIG DEAL
(From Wednesdays Dailv.N

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 The closing of quite large realty deal was that of Monday between Dr. C. w. Pardee and Albert Brow, in which the former purchased those unoccupied lots located north Of Brinkmeyer's hotel, on Montezuma street, on which a modern livery stable is to be built immediately.
 Construction has practically been inaugurated, and the plans show a building of 621A feet by 15O feet in length. There also will be an addi- ton to this service in a corral, camp house and feed yard established for that character of trade as desired. Another innovation will be the com modious stall arrangement, of 10x10 feet, and with a special provision of soil flooring throughout This fea- ture Is to preserve the health of live stock.
 A new livery equipment will be in troduced. and the horse hotel made attractive for patronage. With this investment closed Dr. Pardee also stated he had started construction on a new residence on South Pleasant street. and he had made up his mind to make Prescott his future home. as the outlook was encouraging for a thrifty business center. and 1t was the place to live anyway.

NATIONAL GUARD
 CLAIMS MAY BE HELD UP

PHOENIX, July 22.-Whether the pay of national guard officers who have been ordered on duty is affected by the governors veto of the appro- priation bill, is the question raised by the filing of four claims with State Auditor Callaghan by Colonel Chas. w. Harris, adjutant general.
 Colonel Harris, who is quarter master of the First infantry and Cap tain Oscar F. Temple, of the quarter master corps were ordered on duty July 1 by Governor Hunt, in order that they might carry on the work of preparing for the annual encampment Under section 3954, title B of the re- vised statutes, which provides for or dering the guard or any portion there of on duty, "the necessary funds for pay, transportation of troops, materi- al and subsistence, shall be paid out of any fund in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated" It was un- der the provision of this section that the claims were filed.
 State Auditor Callaghan stated that the claims had but come to his atten- ton, and that he was not prepared to say whether they would be held up or not. The legislature had sought to repeal all appropriations made in title B of which the section referred to is part, and until he had received legal advice, the auditor said he did not feel warranted in honoring the claims.

MAY ALSO
 MEET AT FLAGSTAFF
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

(From Thursdays DaiIy.)
 The county engineers of the state will meet at Flagstaff at the same time the tax conference is held there, if the suggestion of Lamar Cobb state engineer, is favorably viewed by the various boards of supervis- ors.
 The local board was in receipt of a communication yesterday from the state engineer in which the advisabil- ity of sending the county engineer was urged He pointed out that the oppbrtunity afforded for the engi- neers to meet and discuss road con struction and maintenance would re- suit in benefit to all the counties as well as the state and perhaps even tuate in the formulation of plans for the construction of highways on a uniform basis.
 Chairman William Stephens of the local board looks at the matter in a favorable light, and doubtless Coun- ty Engineer Merritt will accompany the supervisors when they start for Flagstaff by automobile Saturday aft ernoon or Sunday morning to attend the tax conference. In the party also. will be the members of the state tax commission, Messrs. Camp bell, Howe and Zander.

PLAN ATTRACTS ATTENTION
 OF MINING MEN

= TUCSON, July 20.-So much. at tention and favorable comment has been made on the new plan Of the College of Mines and Engineering at the University of Arizona that Professor Charles F. Willis, director Of the State Bureau of Mines has been asked to present paper at the Eighteenth Annual Convention of the American Mining Congress, to be held September 10th to 22nd, at San Francisco. The subject of the discussion will be Needs and Meth ods of Improvement in Mining Edu- cation"
 For some considerable time 1t has been observed that the colleges of mines have been serving but few Of the people and the great mass of men engaged in the mining industry were getting but little good from it and it remained for the University of Arizona to bring forward plan which will bring the work to the greater number of people and give these men work which will enable them to better themselves in their work at little cost and loss of time
 In so doing it has been necessary to divide the mining men into three distinct groups as each group has to be handled separately and dis tinctly. One group is handled by a practical short course entirely differ cnt than that now practiced, another CT group is handled by the applica- ton of the Gary System of combin- ing practical and theoretical educa ton and the third group is handled by advanced research and admins trative work.
 These changes have made such distinct impression on the education- al world that Professor Willis has been invited to make the details pub lie and open the question for discus sion at the annual convention of the largest national body of mining men, the American Mining Congress. Other changes will be discussed than those embodied in the Arizona plan and it is likely that the College of Mines will be of even greater ser vice.

RECORD CATTLE RUN
 MADE TO KANSAS CITY
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Returning Monday afternoon from Kansas City, A. C. Mcqueen, live stock agent of the S. F. P. & P. rail way, announced that the run of the special cattle train from Phoenix to that city was negotiated in exactly "A hours. This time holds the record to date for that class of traffic, and is regarded as a splendid achievement in railroad circles for efficiency as well as notable in speed making. This train of IS carloads of fat steers had the right-of-way over passenger trains and the object was to get to market before the end of last week, which was accomplished. Not a hoof was lost and not the slightest accident oc- cured, although at places as high as 45 miles per hour was made.

DAYS OF SLAVERY
 RECALLED BY DEATH
(From Wednesdays DailyO

(From Wednesdays Dally.)
 There passed away in Prescott on Sunday night a negro of unusual per sonality, in Lot Smith, who repre- scented the memory of early slavery days. His burial occurred yesterday from Lester Rufner's mortuary, Rev. Baker officiating, and attracted every resident of this city of that race.
 Smith came to Prescott in 1879, ac- companying the late John C. Hern- don. from Fayette, Mo-, by whose family he was reared from boyhood to manhood. Lots age is not accur- ately known, but data Is recalled by which he can be traced to as far back as 100 years if not more. His wife passed away at Fayette, many years ago, but son survives, whose age is nearing co years.
 The Shadowy Past.
 Postmaster A. J. HerndOn, of this city, recalled many interesting remin- iscences of Lots association with the family of his father and mother in the days of long ago. He said yes terday:
 q first remembered this man when a mere boy. as he was at our home. He was middle-aged. and as far as l am able to trace his past he had reached fully 95 years if not more He was a slave, but not of that rating as is generally ascribed to the race of lono ago. He enjoyed the confidence of my parents for his industry and above everything else his absolute honesty. Lot never worked on the plantation, but was a cook of first class rating and an excellent garden CT. His wife was affectionately known in that community as Aunt Ann," but did not reside with him on our place, but nearby had quarters Lot was out of the run of the average negro during slave days. He took orders from no one, except my moth CT, and 1t was useless to even inti- mate for Uncle Lot" to change his mind or bow his knee to any other human being. When my deceased brother, John C. Hcrndon, concluded to come to Prescott over a third of century ago. there was a transforma- ton in sentiment of this man. Sud denly a favoritism seemed to arise, and there was no resisting the cur rent of affection that had so firmly cemented itself, and this negro, then quite aged, and somewhat feeble physically, had his way and was brought to Prescott. It was the same in Arizona as in Missouri-a true friend and one who was always obedient with kind smile to perform any service in his power. He longed to return to the old place in recent years, and would have done so with his savings of over ten years, had not his place been robbed His passing away is to be deplored by those who knew him best, and my tribute to him is that a good soul and true friend is gone.

,ithout the governors signature.

without the governors signature.
 "The appropriation bill was the most comprehensive bill Of its kind that has been passed in the state, showing the taxpayers where all the states revenues go, and l believe it carried ample amounts for the proper administration of the states various departments.
 "A perusal of the governors mes sage explaining his veto of certain parts Of the bill does not charge a lack of funds for various departments so much as it is criticism of the leg slature's authority.
 There was never manifested any disposition in the senate to encroach on the executive department, but l maintain that had the governor al lowed the appropriation bill to stand as passed by a two-thirds vote of both houses of the legislature, there would not now be any litigation with possibility of still another session of the legislature, and alr depart ments would have sufficient money for proper administration.
 State history is not lacking in precedent that shows the motive of the governor in his action on this bill.
 There was no politics in this ap- propriation bill, but plain business principles were applied to state busi- ness and an honest effort to show how the taxpayers money would be spent, as well as an effort to get an economical administration to which the democratic party was pledged.
 If the action of the legislature is sustained by the courts, the expense of the state for 1915-16 is $1,700,O00; for 1916-17, $1,3OOOOO.
 "If the governor is upheld, those amounts would increase from $400,- GOO to $6OOOOO yearly.
 Let the courts decide.
