March 24.-Although it is working, without pay, and per haps without even the funds for office expenses, the state land commission started yesterday renewing the per mits and leases on school lands of the state all. of which expired March l5 Tie leases, and permits, over 1 500 in nuinberI are being renewed to June D,s the end of the fiscal. year.
 There are two reasons why the commission is renewing the leases at this time said Chatham Winsor of the commission. Tn the first. place there will be another session of the before the leases and per mits, as renewed, will expire, and it is possible that some land legislation may be enacted. Besides it is to the of all concerned to have all these leases expire at the end of the fiscal year"

HUNGRY HUNTERS
 HAVE FINE OPENING
(Prom Thursdays Daily)

Chris Benner, who has a prospect ing camp in the foothills on the west side of Granite mountain, was in the city Tuesday after supplies and brought news that big grizzly bear is running around in that region.
 With field glasses, Benner says he saw the monster ascending the sum- init of that peak at distance of over one mile, and it was his opinion 1t was making its way to the higher ele- vations to go into summer quarters. This bear was trailed out of the Has sayampa country in February by an Italian and a young man named Will helm, and further pursuit was aban- doned after the snow became too deep in the Thumb Butte country to continue the search, although the tracks were plain and the direction indicated that the bear was making for the valley lands.
 The habits of these animals are said to be in the warm months to reach the highest elevations, and in the winter to keep away from the snow belts. This bruin is probably the companion of the one killed last summer by Walter Cline in the Brad shaw mountains. and it evidently wandered out Of that region after the snow became deep, killing several head of range cattle along the Has sayampa. Local nimrods have an ex- cellent opportunity to slay some big game, as there is but little doubt this huge monster has taken up his head quarters in the mountains.

NEW PLAN WILL SAVE
 COUNTY MUCH MONEY
(From Fridays Daily.)

Judge Smith has worked out plan by which exempt jurors will here after be saved the trouble of coming to the county seat to present their statutory excuses to the court. Inci- dentally the county will be saved a large sum of money annually, and the sheriff's office considerable trav- cling.
 Once year the supervisors draw about 300 names from the list of the tax payers of the county, which num- Der it is estimated, will be necessary for the trial of civil and criminal actions. Owing to the way the law governing this matter was framed there was no way of telling those among the number who were exempt from service. The result has been that all of them have been summoned and those entitled to be excused urged their exemptions after they reached here. The trip to Prescott of exempt veniremen piled up a large expense on the county, but seemingly there was no way to avoid 1t.
 The new plan is simple but effect i've. A notice will soon be sent to every man on the jury list in the county. In the letter will be stated the statutory exemptions in detail, and the veniremen told to write his excuse within reasonable time to the clerk of the court. If a venire man does not avail himself of his privilege he will be summoned when the trial term comes, and what is more will be made to serve. It is a case of urging your excuse at the proper time, or it will not be of use to you later after the sherif's office has given warning to be in court ona certain day.

FRONTIER DAYS

(From Fridays Daily.)


 Now that the date has been set for the greatest ever," for that is what the third annual Frontier Days cele- bration is going to be, Chairman E. A. Kastner is organizing his forces for whiriwind campaign to make the event a great success and a moneys worth show such as Prescott has never before known.
 Already his publicity men are at work on plans for letting the outside world know that there will be some thing doing in Prescott, July 3rd, 4th and 5th, the dates set for the event. Every citizen of Prescott should make it his business to advise friends of these dates when writing letters and invite them to "come up a mile and smile awhile" and incidentally see the show. Road conditions bid fair to be the very best and many auto parties will stop over on their way to and from the coast towns MT. Haworth reports the broncs in fighting shape and fattened on the abundant feed produced by one of the finest winters ever known in the and the boys on the ranges are already asking about the prize money.

APPRECIATES THE WORK
 DONE BY CHAMBER
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The campaign for maintenance funds for the Yavapai County Cham Der of Commerce work for 1915 be- gan yesterday, when Chairman of the
 Finance Committee E. J. Mitchell rounded up about one-third of the amount required for the support of the chamber this year in little less than one hour His work so far has been amongst the larger subscribers and without exception, they have signed for the same amounts sub scribed last year and in 1913.
 MT. Mitchell is pleased with the showing thus far made and fully ex- poets that all the subscribers on last years list who are still in active busi- ness will come in for the same amount as last year. A good many of the best subscribers in the past, who were engaged in the liquor business and allied interests, will, of course drop out and the expenses this year, with the work outlined to be done, will be nearly as much as in 1914. In spite of these handicaps, however, the committee is most sanguine of success. The personnel of the com mittee is:

PLANT MAY BE
 INSTALLED AT COPPER CHIEF
(From Thursdays Daily.)

VI AOiLl HUI Sud GG'.ysJ
 Development work is still in prog ress at the Copper Chief mine on a small scale. The people of this dis trict are awaiting anxiously the deci- sion of the Amalgamated Copper Company after their tests of the Cop per Chief ores. If the tests are satis- factory they contemplate installing a treating plant of some sort to reduce their ores. The Copper Chief has a very large amount of ore developed ready for treatment, estimated at be. tween $3,O00,00O and $4,00O,OO0 worth. Their facilities for cheap operation are excellent, as they have natural water power for large operations. The Copper Chief Is developed to less than 400 feet, it is remarkable to find such vast quantities Of ore at such a shallow depth, extending from the grass roots down. Recently they have encountered a good grade oi sulphides on the 40O-foot level and have developed them to a large ex- tent.
 One other great mine is this dis. trict, the United Verde, also had their ores from the grass roots. They have what is called the Glory Hole" which outcrops above their old smel- ter and from which they have taken out many millions of dollars worth, practically from the surface, in gold, silver and copper. This in itself would be considered a great mine. The Copper Chief and other proper ties in the southern part of the dis trict along the mineral range have very similar conditions. With such companies as the Amalgamated Cop per Company and the Douglas Syndi- cate taking active interest in the op- erations and development in this dis trict there is only one thing that we can expect and that is one of the most active mining sections in the United States. With the blowing-in of the new shelter at Clarkdale and the building of the Santa Fe railroad. opens up the development of this dis trict and affords such mines as the Copper Chief and numerous smaller developed properties a market for their product, and places them in a producing class, and enables them to carry on development from the re ceipts of the products of their own ores, at least to more or less ex- tent. Heretofore the district had been handicapped from the lack of railroad and smelter facilities. Now we have both, and there will be many of the smaller properties hauling their ores to the smelter which will be a big asset to their development and equipment-Jerome News.

state, it is a certainty, as evidenced by the adverse petitions already sub mitted. that the referendum would be speedily invoked. In the event, more over, that l disapprove of the meas ure through the exercise of the veto power, the proponents and defenders of the pari-mutuel system would not, thereby, be deprived of their oppor- tunity to present similar bill to the electorate of the state at the next general election under the provisions oi the initiative. The latter course. if pursued, would undoubtedly be at tended by justice and fairness to all those people who either commend or condemn the purposes of the enact ment, since the citizenship of the state would thus, as whole, become the arbiter of an important question having direct, and possibly vital, bearing npon the material and civic interests of Arizona.
 For the reasons above collocated, therefore, and animated by an earnest desire to faithfully discharge the re- sponsibility placed upon me, without visiting any injustice, however slight, upon a very considerable minority having this issue at interest, 1 am withholding my signature from senate bill No. l25, and am filing the ori- ginal measure in your office, as pro- vided by law.
 Very Respectfully,

COPPER KING IS
 NOW UNDER BOND
(From Thursdays Dai1y.)

Further evidence of the increased interest in the mining industry in this county is noted when the news became public yesterday that Bern ard Cunniff had taken an option on the Copper King mine, owned by Wells S, awler, and located g miles west from Hillside This prelimin- ary option is for the purpose of se- curing adequate time to unwater the mine and make an examination. If the latter proves satisfactory then the property will be taken over upon bond and lease basis.
 The Copper King has suddenly ac- quired value because it is zinc prop erty, that metal now commanding the record price of II cents in the New York market Many years ago the Copper King was operated by Colin Timmons for copper. After a depth of 100 feet the zinc blend replaced the red metal and although the shaft was continued to the 400-foot level, and drifts were run, the copper never re-appeared in paying quantities. Ore bodies from two to three feet in width of zinc running as high as AZ per cent were developed, but in those days that metal was practically with out value, and the work was aban- doned.
 On account of the war, zinc is now king of the metals, as gauged by its phenomenal increase in value, and mining investors are looking for desirable properties.
 Upon telegraphic orders Tom Marmont left yesterday morning for Hillside, with the necessary equip ment for unwatering the mine, and Mir. Cunniff will leave New York for Prescott in about ten days, according to his present plans.

The Honorable.
The Honorable, The Secretary Of State, State House.
 Two Other Bills Vetoed.
N LO. ". IT O V
 Governor of Arizona.

Two Other Bills Vetoed.
 Because he believed that it tended to decrease the penalty for fraudulent check artists, the governor yesterday vetoed senate bill 42, known as the bad check bill"
 The bill provided that in cases where the amount of the check was less than $l00 the offense should con stitutc a misdemeanor and made the guilty person liable to a fine and to jail sentence in the county jail. This, the governor pointed out lessen ed the existing penalty of not less than one year in the state prison, and would tend to increase the num- Der of bogus checks signed for amounts under the $l00 limit.
 The governor also vetoed senate bill 29 providing that no money shall be paid out for the salaries of chauf- feurs or drivers of automobiles or for automobiles without legislative ap- propriation therefor. This was the act designed to deprive the governor of his chauffeur, and possibly of the use of the big white car, at least until the passage by the legislature of an ap- propriation for that purpose. Gov ernor Hunt in his letter of disapprov- al of the measure stated that it would seriously handicap several state de- partments, especially the work of the state engineer, who would not be able to proceed with the duties of his office if the bill became law.
 The library bill and other measures which were waiting for executive action will become laws without the governors signature.
