THAT MINERS LIEN LAW.

Possibly one of the most peculiar
laws ever drafted is that of the re-
Gently enacted Lien law of Arizona
1t provides, among other things, that
upon the optioning Or leasing of a
mine to parties who are to work the
property the mine becomes respOn-
sible for everything furnished, in
Guiding labor, supplies and everything
entering into the working OF the mine
unless the owner posts at the collar
Of the shaft, tunnel, adit, mill or
any other public place in or upon the
premises notice that such mine or
the owner will not be responsible for
such labor or supplies, and further
that a copy of the same notice be
sent by registered mail to the secre-
tary Of any miners union that may
be in the district, and another notice
recorded in the office of the county
recorder at least thirty days after
such agreement has been entered in
to, and before operations begin, for
which the county recorder charges a
fee of one dollar. And in the event
all this is done the property is safe
from lien. \

ASSESSED
VALUATION
AN INCREASE OF TEN PER CENT
SHOWN, VALUATION BASED ON
AVERAGE EARRINGS FOR LAST
THREE YEARS.

The assessed valuation of the pro-
ducing mines of Arizona was an
nounced recently by the state tax
commission as $121, ,225, ,833.74, an in
crease of $11 100000, or 10 per cent
over the 1914 assessment Improve
ments and mining machinery are
valued at almost $34,OOO,OOO. or an
increase of approximately $$3,50O,O0O
over last year.
The total valuation of mines, i'm
provements and machinery amounts
to $155 ,131, ,656.49. Included in this
amount, however, is more than three
millions OF productive mining prop
erty which was assessed as non
productive last year, SO that the in
crease over the 1914 total is a little
less than 10 per cent
Among the more important in-
creases in valuation over last years
assessment is that of the Superior &
Pittsburg Copper company, which
was raised from $14,951, ,795 to $780,
551, $40, and of the Copper Queen Con-
solidated, Whcih was increased So ,000,
900 over the 1914 assessment An
other feature of the valuation this
year is the transfer of the Inspira-
ton Consolidated from the non-pro-
ducing class to that of a producing
property. Nine important properties
in all changed from non producing
mines to producers, and are assessed
as such by the commission.
The commissions valuation of the
mines this year is based on the aver
age earnings for the last three years
as shown in the companies reports,
reconciled with the physical valuation
on January 1, 1915. The personal
property was appraised by the county
assessors, assisted by the members
of the commission
eve have been shown every cour-
teSy py the mining companies In our
work of arriving at the valuation"
said Commissioner Campbell, who,
with Chairman Charles R. Howe, has
been hard at work on the various re-
ports for over four weeks. True to
his declaration at the time the legis
lature was in session, Commissioner
lander did not take hand in the YaF
nation of mining properties, and the
amounts were fixed by the other two
members of the commission
The valuation of mines as given
out recently was certified to the
boards of supervisors of the various
counties by the commission. 1t is, of
course, subject to some revision when
the commission meets as the state
board of equalization next month.

LAND AND MINING BOOM.

|. P. Burnett, who has returned
from Parker in making an investiga-
ton of his mining and land interests,
is quite enthusiastic over the outlook.
He says high copper prices have
started several properties adjacent
toward active production and ship
ing goes ahead The sinking of
wells on the reserve of 10000 acres,
has practically demonstrated at half
a dozen points that water can be de-
IAloped in abundance at a depth OF
12 feet. l. is now believed this solu-
ton of vital question will result in
government throwing that do
i 9aip open early this fall, and that in
ElEHidual irrigation plants will prevail
sas against the government plan to
E5stild main canal and convey water
ESo lands from the Colorado river.
~. Burnett believes that Parker will
experience big boom this winter

Preston Beats BRYAN.

A sample, in the shape of a sheaf
Of Australian millet, that had been
grown by A. l.. Preston on his leased
land, down on the reservation, was
brought to the office of The Post this
week. 1t eXcels anything of the kind
ever shown in this section. 1t was
composed of six stalks, each nearly
the size Of a lead pencil, that had all
grown from one seed, the largest of
these stalks measuring nearly five
feet, and on the end of each was a
full, round seed heading about six
inches in length, representing about
1000 individual seeds-aIl grown from
one Now, according to the old
proverb, the man who can make two
seeds grow where only one formerly
grew, was considered as doing pretty
doggone well, but the fellow who
holds a record of a thousand to one,
IS certainly going some," for he
has not only made obsolete the time
honored proverb, but he has even
the invincible William Grapejuice, -
With his famed 'slXteen-to-one" ratio,
skinned to death.

ALI Kinds of Travellers.

All Kinds of Travellers.
Quite a number of touring cars
passed through Parker this week en-
route to the San Francisco and San
Diego eXpositions. Travellers are rap
idly learning that the Parker cut
Off is the best and shortest road to
and from California, and are acting
accordingly. There were all kinds
Of people among these wayfarers this
week, a forceful reminder that it
takes all kinds of people to make a
world. One tall, lanky fellow attract
ed special attention on account of the
serpentne suppleness of his body
and the wonderful elasticity of all
his limbs. To get into his auto from
the ground, he simply raised his long
leg and thrust it into the small aper-
ture over the door and then dove in,
following the lead of the foot and
doubling his body up like a pocket
knife. To reach the ground again,
he just unwound himself, wriggling
out the same as he entered, in a
manner that would make an Arizona
side-Winder ashamed of ''hisself.'

A Happy Man.

John Roberts, who returned from
his ranch near Wenden Thursday,
was very much elated over the fact
that his newly-installed pumping plant
is now working like charm.
It seems that the parties who in
stalled the pump on his 200foot we'll,
failed to properly connect the cylin-
der with the pump, with the result
that the latter would throw no water,
a matter which nearly led to the
conclusion that the well had gone
dry. Fortunately the trouble was fl
nally located and now the pump
sushes forth all the water that could
De desired, and John is happy.

NEGROES URGED TO
 CONFORM TO LAWS

Tuskegee, January 20-Obedience to the law was emphasized here today by Book. CT T. Washington, the negro educator as principle to which members of his race should conform in their efforts to advance. Dr. Washington was the chief speaker at the twentieth annual Tus- kegee negro conference.
 Carrying concealed weapons, theft. gambling, visits to illegal liquor estab- lishments and useless court litigation were enumerated as evil practices with which negroes were often charged
 "I know many colored people who spend more on pistol every year than they do on the education of their children. D Dr. Washington said. 'The pistol, in nine cases out of 10. not only does not protect the individual, but leads him into trou- ble." fA
 Resolutions adopted urged the produc- ton of food crops in the south. It was declared that there are 32O00O farms, mostly tenanted by negroes, where there are no hogs: 25o,000 no poultry is raised :: 2o,on on which there are no gardens, and 1f0,oO on which no corn is grown.
 Bankers and planters were asked to aid the negro to raise products other than cotton.
