RENEWED ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED BY
 MINE BUREAU
Miners Lien Law is Amended and in Present Form Should Be of Con-
 siderable Benefit to the State by Encouraging Bonding and Leasing.

At the recent session of the Ari- zona legislature very few bills were passed that affected the mining in dustry directly. but substitute House Bill No. 6, amending the miners lien law, and introduced by MT. Far rel of Santa Cruz County, is one that should be of considerable benefit to the State.
 Probably on one law has retarded development as much as this law, whose original object was to protect the business men from irresponsible CT fake promoters. It provides that when lease or bond is taken on property for it's development, if, any debts are contracted by the lessee or bond holder, the mine becomes re- sponsible for the debt. This, it will be seen, is the easiest way in the world for a man to lose his property.
 The excuse given at the time the law was passed, the one for which the members fell, was that instances had been known where outsiders had come to Arizona, taken bond or lease on mines and had run big store bills never paying them. Thus the law was a sort of protective association fer incompetent business men, so eager to sell goods that they would take a chance ot loss without inquir- ing into the standing of the purchaser It has had one effect of protecting a f6n of claims who have any faith in them whatever will not lease them to be developed unless the lessee is willing to give bond, and even man who is perfectly responsible Is not willing to do this, preferring to hunt up q Fpropert5 somewhere else; rather than Ito be compelled to comply with such a demand. Hence few. mines have been developed, few patents applied for and few claims bonded.
 Substitute House Bfn No. $ seeks to remedy this situation by making the mine responsible only for wages. not for supplies, and wages to the e1- tent Of only two weeks x lThfs will, of course, require the owners of such bonded properties to require e bond from the lessee, but such bond would be in small amount. MT. Farrell should be congratulated for hia work in amending a law which has injured the development of the small properties.
 With this obstacle removed, the way Is we'll paved for the operations of the State BureaH of Mines ia re- moving activity in bonding and leas- he. -,x-<, <@s -4's., r; s9 ,. 9sss <

CLAIM AGAINST COUNTY
Dick Wade Presents a Claim for s1o,-
 GOO For Injuries Received on Mo z renci Road.

The biggest demand ever present. ed to the Board of Supervisors of Greenlee County was presented on Monday last when Dick Wade pre- sented his claim in the sum of $1O,- 900. %.
 MT. Wade wants damages in this sum for alleged injuries received while working on the Clifton-Mo- renci road last October. The de mand is a lengthy affair and states that he was ruptured through the carelessness and negligence of the foreman of the county road work who insisted that he lift heavy rocks, weighing as much as five hundred pounds, from the right of way and in the carrying out of such orders he sustained injuries which will incapa- citate him for labor in the future. The Board took no action on the demand at the last meeting and laid the matter over until their next meet ing in May.
 It is intimated that unless the claim is settled satisfactorily a suit will be instituted against the coun- ty.

 Acting in accordance with their pub lished notice for bids on, $15O,OOO .O0 worth of bonds, the Board of Supervis- ors on Monday last awarded tie road bond issue to Sweet, Causey, Foster & Co.,, of Denver, Colorado, who made par bid of s15O,000. % plus ac- crued interest to, date of delivery, which was April 5th, of, $100. o5.
 According to the interpretation of the Board only one unconditional bid was received and that was from the Denver concern. Two other bidders, who accompanied their bids with certified checks as required, bid a premium of $2475. O0 and $300O. % respectively, but the Board held that these bids were conditional, and that before the county could come in. to possession of money required for urgent road repairs, the bonds would have to pass the scrutiny of an attor- that the opportunity was afforded for objection as to the legality of the pro- cedure in some particular which might require republication of the advertisement, etc., and mean a de- lay of possibly sixty or ninety days. On the other hand the representative |of Sweet, Causey, Foster & Co.,, had carefully investigated the legal steps taken by the Board and was on hand with the cash ready to-turn over to the Board without any condi- tons or delay
 The Board held a private caucas on the matter and decided, that while by a delay premium could be secured on the bonds.. twas considered worth the difference to come into immediate possession of the bond money without any delay whatsoever in order that claimants against the road fund of the county could be settled with and the road work, so badly needed in the county. started immediately. Before noon on Monday the $15O,000 was in the hands of the County Treas urer and the Clerk of the Board be- gan the task of writing warrants to satisfy the demands of those who had claims for the road work done dur ing the latter part of 1914 which amounted to approximately thirty five thousand dollars.
 Bids for the re-construction of the Duncan bridge are now being asked for by the Board and . meeting will be held on April 18th for the pur- pose of awarding the contract.

Wire Received that insurance Com n1isslon Will Not Allow continuanee.


 J. P. Dunaway, who is in Miami at the present time, received tele- gram from Attorney George J. Stone man of Phoenix, who represented the Heralds of Liberty at the recent hearings at the capital city, in which the right of that organization to do business in this state was the point at issue. The telegram contained the following statement:
 Order insurance commission re- cefved today revokes license. D
 Mr. Dunaway stated that while, of course, the representatives of the Heralds of Liberty would obey the order of the commission, that be- cause of the broad guage principles involved in the decision, that the matter will be appealed to the United States courts.
 The Heralds of Liberty is a life insurance organization which makes some radical departures from the old line life insurance companies It is because of these radical de- patrures that the right of the Her aids of Liberty to do business has been challenged in this and in other states. The Heralds of Liberty of ficials believe that when the mat ter has ultimately been thrashed, out that the courts will sustain their contentious.

KAISER ON THE BLUE WRITES ABOUTHIS
 DEAR GERMANY
Incidentally Takes Knock at Every body in Sight in Communication to German Paper in Fredericksburg, Texas.

That Fred Fritz, cattle rancher. on the Blue, is loyal to the Father land is evidenced by a communica- tioR from him written to a German paper in Fredericksburg, Texas, his former home.
 / About the first of March MT. Fritz took his pen in hand and in excellent German wrote the following, which was published in the German sperodi- cal at Fredericksburg, Texas. in a recent issue:
 Blue River, XXX Ranch, Arizona Dear MT. Penniger:-
 g T must write you few lines again or the Fredericksburg people will not be aware of the fact that the Fritz family is still alive in Arizona. Oh, am here; I only wish that more Germans were here. MT. Penniger, have gotten mad so often. Here on the Blue" I am Bismarck; many call me the Kaiser, and still none of the Block Heads could hold the light for good Germany Some time ago the Clifton paper stated that the entire world should cooper ate and wipe Germany of the face the earth. I heard an English wo- man. in Clifton say T wish had the. Kaiser's head; would cook it and feed it to the chickens. I tell you, that many, especially many English men.wish they had the Kaiser's head. but it would be expensive chicken feed. Outside of Germans I have found no one that sympathized with Germany. never was in Germany. have no relatives there. stin am a German and1wilI die as a German. It appearss nearly although. is if the "Good U S." wishes to have trouble and war with Germany I was born in the U. S. but excuse me- Three cheers for our good Germany.
 We have had lots of rain and snow for the last two months. It rained all night; it is raining again today. We cannot ride because it is too wet. Cows and horses are doing fairly well. l bought myself 4,0OO pounds of corn; t$o .OO3 per l1uAuICu. 1uSHO WcK0 GouN to 5000 COW men in Fl Paso. Texas. from the first to the fifth of this menth. But there were no cattle bought; everything is. on the bum" on account of this war, And also there cannot be any cattle shipped out of-Arizona to any other state.
 We also issued a subscription in Clifton and Morencd for the 'Rsd Cross. 2 Rsdo not know how much they received gave $15.Oo. -s.
 In November Clifton and all of the rest of Arizona went dry; and still the saloons are open. We can SC many drunk ones on the streets.
 On the 22nd of this month they win have another election. Our last supervisors laid us in expenses to the amount of $200,oOO. Now they want Ito issue s15O,OOO worth of bonds. I say: "No.' In three months the $15o,O0o will be gone and good meth ods will still not exist. N
 I will close for today. Give my regards to all, am still Germany's and Fredericksburg's friend.
