we are too prone to become inpatient. There
is a disposition to expect a revolution rather
than evolution, such as has come about in
two thousand years of the white mans civil
lization. 1t is unfair, it is unjust to expect
more rapid progress from the Indian than
is shown in the development of the white
race. If | were called upon to indicate
the one important word in our relations
with the Red man, it would be patience.
In this splendid audience of Service en-
ployees and friends of the Indian, there
are large number of returned students.
Let me briefly address myself especially to
the products of our Indian schools.
l find among returned students on the
reservations something of unrest; more
general tendency to want a job in the Ser
vice than is best for their own future. The
real genius of our Indian Schools is indus
trial in it's purpose, and should be in its
accomplishments. There are but few, if any
educated Indians who cannot return to their
allotments and soon become self-supporting
in agricultural and stock-raising pursuits,
and especially is this true, when under pro-
per circumstances to extend it, advantage is
taken of the reimbursable fund. There are
thousands of white tenant farmers strugg
ling to pay off their annually given crop
mortgage, who would be thankful for the
opportunity of the Indian who has an allot
ment, and the privilege of reimbursable
non-interest bearing loan. A job as police
man or clerkship is mental in comparison
to the dignity and prosperity to be attained
by Independent effort with such advantages.
''The Lord helps those who help them
selves" Let me give you an illustration

GLOBE MINERS PICK
THEIR RESCUE TEAMS

GLOBE Aug. 25.-An individual ex-
animation in first aid and helmet
work was held last evening for the
purpose of obtaining teams to repre-
which are to be held under the aus
pices OF the Southwestern Mine Safe
ty association at Bisbee, September s..
Two teams were selected from a
number of applicants taking the ex-
aminations, which were very rigid.
These teams will compete at Bisbee
with other teams from various COM
lanies in the state. The winning
teams will be sent to the San Fran
cisco exposition to compete in the
national contests at the expense of
eight mining companies in the state,
who have each contributed 5000 for
that purpose.
The following men by examination
have qualified as members Of the
teams that will represent the o. D.
company at Bisbee Labor Day:
First Aid Team-G. E. Griswold,
William Johns, A. Mugford
Substitutes-Paul Vonkaenel Sam
Garside, H. L. Kibby, c. A. Clark.
Helmet Team-A. Talon, Charles
Askew, Sam Roreland, William Cow
ling, Alfred Wilkins. c. c. Phipps.
Substitutes-Edw. Want, John Por
ter.

May Be Contested

that the bonds were to bear date of
the first day of September. 1915, and
to mature serially $4,000 on Sep
tember 1st, 1916, and $4,000 on the
first day of September each year
thereafter. The issue was to bear in
terest at a rate not exceeding five
per cent, payable semi i-annually on
the first day of March and September
in each year. The ballot at the cleo
tion, however, stated the bond in
terest was payable semi annually, but
on the first day Of April and Octo-
Der in each year. The discrepancy
in dates was discovered and called
to the attention of the county Off
cials by a possible bond purchaser
Account of the extreme care with
which bond houses act it is probable
the entire bond issue will have to be
voted on again if any money is to be
raised through the sale of bonds.

A jinx has apparently set over Gila
county. At least it has thrown it's
rays of bad luck upon the movement
for good roads. 1t seems probable
that all Of the preparation and ex-
pense for the road bond election has
gone for naught for the reason that
a flaw has been discovered in the
bond election procedure. The entire
matter will be thrashed out at a
meeting of the board Of supervisors
to be held next Monday.
No matter what the outcome Of
this meeting, is, those who opposed
the issuance Of the road bonds say
they will resist the payment of the
debt when the time arrives that pay
ment Of interest or principal is due.
The error was made by the super
visors who, at their meeting at which
the question was ordered submitted
adopted a resolution to the effect

WINS Her CLAIM IN
THE TOWN OF MAYER

PRESCOTT, ARIZ., Aug. 25.-After
10 years of litigation, Mrs S. B.
Mayer has secured patent to the
Winifred placer claim, right in the
heart Of the town of Mayer. The
claim includes the right-o -of-way and
station of the Bradshaw Mountain
railroad, also several dwelling and
business houses. The railroad COM
pany and the owners Of the build
ings, however, expect to make sat
isfactory arrangements with Mrs.
Mayer for the rental Of the ground.
Over 10 years ago Mrs Mayors
deceased husband, Joseph Mayer, filed
on this claim. The government pro-
tested against patent being issued,
on the ground that the claim was
valuable for townsite purposes. This
contention was upheld by the land
office at Phoenix, but was reversed
at Washington. Later the government
tried to prove that there was not

Ore in Eight Drill Holes.
The Big Ledge Development com
pany, which is operating four miles
east Of Humboldt, has found ore in
eight drill holes. One shaft is down
80 feet on a well defined ore body
that carries copper and gold. Drill
ing is to be continued till the big
dixie that cuts across the property
is thoroughly explored, and more
shafts will be sunk. Over 80 miners
are employed. This is the first drill
development ever undertaken in that
region and it is watched with keen
interest.
In the same district progress is
being made on the Fred Little silver
mines. New machinery has been in
stalled and seven miners are working
Much good ore has been developed

ments will be made soon.

The Silver Belt mine has two car
loads of ore sacked and ready for
shipment to Mayer as soon as the
new reduction plant at that place
is in operation. The principal value
in the ore is silver, but it carries some
galena. Ben Bybon and George Oyler
recently took over the Silver Belt,
which had been idle 20 years They
have installed new and heavy ma

WHY THE DELAY?

The Copper Camp hopes County At
torney Richardson will leave no stone
unturned to break up the practice
OF boot-legging in Pinal county We
nave noted with some surprise the
delay which has already occurred in
bring to justice the person at Flor
ence who openly violated the prohi-
bition law by having shipped to him
jug of whiskey. 1t is possible Mr..
Richardson was sincere in asking the
opinion of Attorney General Jones
as to whether the receiver was liable
for prosecution, but it has now been
five days since he was officially ad-
vised that prosecution should be in
stituted at once and yet he had
failed to take the necessary steps
to bring the culprit to the bar of
justice. We are not concerned as to
The Arizona copper camp., 1915-08-27

whether the party receiving the jug
of whiskey in question was an Off
cial at the state prison or not. We
Go not care who the violator was
in this instance or any other in
stance. A majority of the people
voted for strict prohibition in Ari-
zona. We hope our county attorney
will follow the example of the county
law officers in other counties Of the
state and prosecute to the full extent
of the law. The course he pursues
is being watched by hundreds of the
voters Of Pinal county and if Rich
ardson fails to do his duty he will
have dug his political grave. The
standing Of the violator should not
secure for the offender the protection
Of the county attorneys office. There
is but one course for the county at
torney and that is to prosecute.

CONTINUES
IN OA1MAN FIELD

OATNIAN, Ariz., Aug 27-Thirty-
five feet of pay milling ore sums up
the breadth and value of the strike
made recently in the Black Eagle
workings Of the Tom Reed Gold Mines
company. The crosscut on the 400
foot level has intersected the ledge
portion of it that does not sample to
a pay milling average. Thirty feet
of the ore sample an average of $25.
per ton, and included in that thirty
feet are IA feet Of ore that sample
$4,000 per ton. Five feet of ore lying
next to the hanging wall sample an
average of $3.50 per ton. The current
week drifts were started to the east
and west in the vein. Shipments will
soon go forward to the Tom Reed
mill.
The ore shoot opened several
months ago on the 1075-foot level in
the main Tom Reed workings has
been explored to the west for a length
of 225 feet. 1t has a varying width
Of from Is to 20 feet and a varying
value of from $3.50 to $4,000 per ton.
The body Of milling grade ore recent
ly encountered 700 feet east of the
main shaft on the 550-foot level is
maintaining it's values as the drift is
extended in it. The discovery was
made in territory hitherto unexplored
and is of additional Importance by
reason of the fact that it opens a
prospect Of ore-yielding possibilities
in a section Of the mine hitherto
somewhat neglected.
About twenty tons OF ore are be-
ing shipped daily from the United
Eastern mine to the Gold Road mill,
the consignments representing a por-
ton of the ore mined during the reg
ular course Of development work On
the 460 d\565-foot levels. The aver
age grade Of this ore is $4,000 per ton.
Last weeks shipments had a value
Of $4,000. The drive east in the vein
on the 460-foot level continues to
carry high grade milling ore, while
the drive west on the 565-foot level
is at this time in ore of the highest
average grade thus far opened in the
mine. The break across 81 feet is
nearly $4,000 per ton.

WICKENBURG, ARIZ, Aug. 25.-
California investors have purchased
from Harry Thompson three lead and
vanadium claims in the Black Rock
district. A permanent camp is being
established and the company is max
ing preparations to ship ore at once.
For years it has been known that
these claims embraced a big de-
posit Of high grade lead ore, but it
was discovered only recently that the
ore also carries vanadium.

Of the Constellation group has dis
closed a three foot vein of lead
