WORTHY MISSION
 TO ADVANCE ARIZONA
(From Saturdays Daily.)

NfIOm SdturQay Daliy.)
 | J. H. Robinson, secretary of the
 Arizona Chapter of the American
 Mining Congress, who arrived from
 Phoenix yesterday, is quite enthusias-
 tic over conditions in the southern
 part of the state, stating that many
 of the big copper properties are again
 active, and nearing the normal num-
 her of men employed when the de-
 cline occurred few months ago.
 He is en route to Mohave county
 to gather data of mineral resources,
 as well will he make a general in
 vestigation in the north of industrial
 conditions, generally. Later Yava- pal will be his field, and after the
 summer is well under way in the low CT elevations.
 In reviewing the short period since he was elected to the important office, Robinson states the chapter is attain ing prominence in and out of the mineral industry the membership now reaching to over 400 of the sub stantial citizens of Arizona. He said: "The sphere of this organization seems to have been misunderstood, and many were inclined to believe that the promotion of the mining industry was its sole object This impression is erroneous. When the chapter was organized last December, at the meet ing of the American Mining Congress
 in Phoenix, it was brought forcibly to the attention of the delegates pres ent that while Arizona was one of the most fortunate of states, insofar as her mineral resources were con cerned, she was tagging far behind in actual development, and. this not only applied to her mineral resources but also to other natural resources with which she is so peculiarly blessed. It was realized that to most effect ively remedy these conditions 1t was necessary to have a strong organiza- tion whose principal effort should be devoted to disseminating accurate in- formation regarding the vast resour- ces of the state, and creating such conditions as would invite the devel- opment of the same. Great care has been taken to see that this organiza- ton does not take the shape of a political machine, to be charged with scheming to obtain some advantage for the mining industry without prop CT regard being paid to all other in dustries, including every form and kind of enterprise, that goes to make up healthy and prosperous conditions in our state In short the chapter has but one mission-the upbuilding and development of the vast and un- limited resources of Arizona. 1 am making a broad canvass of Arizona at the present time to secure data to place before the board of directors pertaining to mineral, agricultural and commercial interests, in the re- spective districts. Accordingly the chapter will soon have in its posses sion such statistics and other data as will make it possible for its board of directors to formulate lines of pro- cedure in cooperating with and as sisting at all times the various ele- ments in all communities having a desire to work for the common good. With cooperation all the disastrous and hurtful influences from which Arizona has suffered in the past can be removed"

AZTEC RESEARCH
 AFFORDS BIG SURPRISE
(From FridaY's DailY.)

Alexander Steigner, of Washing ton, D. C., attached to the archaelogi cal service, has concluded what he states is one of the most important missions in research of, Aztec life that has been accomplished in many years.
 He has recovered, in short, from Montezuma's Castle on Beaver creek, relics of the era long ago, that are in valuable, and which will be of ma terial benefit to science in establish ing certain data as applying to this race Of people who were of Chinese origin.
 This work is not new to me, nor is the castle on the creek an unfamiliar place" he stated Wednesday. q was a visitor to Prescott in 1890, when my brother, Jacob Steigner was in business here At that time l in spected Montezuma's Castle and Montezuma's Well, but attempted no research work in either. In 1900 l again came to the country from Flag staff after visiting the Cliff Dwellings, and this last trip was for business. entered the bleak room of the Castle with the determination this time to explore, and have been amply re- warded. Recovered and now in my possession are the following articles, weighing in the aggregate seventeen and one-half pounds: Eighteen pieces of turquoise of fair grade but very small, stone dagger made of diorite probably, a cup full of various sizes of arrow-heads, made from flint; two beads of turquoise, about as large as a big pea, with hole in each; two small metates badly worn and a grinder, pottery and other articles. A cedar beam was unearthed, but this was too bulky to carry away. Best Of all was a small Swastika emblem made of red stone and crudely cut. A faint trace of green coloring was discernible thereon, instead of the sil- yer lining that is popular in these days.
 My conclusions are that this race was advanced in many pursuits. Whether they were of Aztec or Tol- tee origin, is speculative, but l am inclined to believe they antedated the Aztec by many generations, and were unquestionably the first inhabitants of this interesting region. In evi- dence to support this belief IS the high-class state of cultivation of lands carried out through a system of irri- gation ditches, which show skill in construction, and which in this day of scientific advancement, could not be improved upon in conducting wat CTS to lands on a gravity basis. Prlm itive as is my collection, the mute evil dence of careful and capable work manship greatly inpreSses me, which is astounding when conditions of that far-away day arc to be considered. Montezumas Well and Montezuma's Castle should be taken over at once by the government and set aside as national park, to which should be added the Cliff Dwellings south of Flagstaff" were his concluding re- marks.

1t is some times thought that school
pupils have their minds only on ath-
letics. But the boys who run high
school sports often say that one of the
difficulties they have to contend with
is the indifference OF many OF the

may look easy to the business man.
But as matter OF fact, there are a
good many bills to pay.
The grown ups are Indifferent and

girls would rather spent their pocket
money on candy and ice cream. The
boys go where the girls want to go.
Loyalty is a fine trait. A boy who
stands by his school comrades and
roots for them vigorously from the
side lines is likely ito be the man who
will be loyal to his home town when
he grows up.
