KEEPING TAB ON THE IRISH
(Continued from last week )

C WSSh
 We dressed, then came down to the incline where we were loaded into skip then let down by the engine to the first level; then climbed down the nar- row ladders one hundred feet to each level where we saw the miners drilling out the silver ore and get ting ready to fire the shots. This mine istimbered with 1OX12 Oregon nine as other wood will not last in the foul damp air. These timbers were covered with some sort of beautiful white feathery stuff, hang ing down called damp or foul air, which causes miners consumption when breathed into the lungs.
 This wonderful silver mine was discovered by 8 Mexican by the name of Jesus Otero Gonzalas in 1892. We came up in the skip from the nine hundred-foot level to the top, dressed and bid the jolly MT. Brown good bye; started to motor to Wickenberg when some- thing would not work on the car and we walked half mile to Jeff $ cabin where we were invited in to await until another machine could come out after the party. We missed one train, and stayed al night in Wickenburg. Arrived 1T

AWARD OF MERIT
 WON BY TUSAyAN

Ranchers and other residents on the Tusayan National Forest Will be interested in hearing that this Forest has won the "Award of Merit" for 1914 for the best Forest fire record among the sixteen Ma tional Forests in District 5.
 At the beginning of the season the District Forester announced that the award system would be inaugurated this year. The Forests were rated according to the per centage of Class A fires (which are the small ones burning not over a quarter of an acre), the average acreage per fire, and the inspection reports. The Tusayan was given first place with record of ifty-eight Class A fires out of total of sixty three fires occurring during the year. The average acreage burned over per fire was only four-tenths of an acre.
 The local Forest officers, of course feel proud over the record but real ize that it could not have been !, made without the cooperation o1
 the ranchers, stockmen and other
 users on the Forest. Two or three fires which occurred in rough inac- F cessible country might have develop , ed into very serious ones had it no
 been for the help of some ranchers , who were right on the job when i f came to fire fighting. The Tusayal
 Forest is one yielding not only !. large annual cash income to tn g local people for roads and schools but one furnishing many oth V benefits in the way of wood supplies S grazing privileges, etc. We can a
 help in protecting it from fire thl
 year by being careful where W
 throw the match or cigarette or ho
 we leave the camp fire or by glvin a a few minutes time to immediate ol extinguish and cover up any lit ne fire we may discover while we a be travelling over the country.
 Let us keep up the good reco
 and have our local Forest at u he head of the list again when t n year 1915 closes.

FAUST PROGRAM
 DRAWS WELL
Music Club Proves Itself Worthy of Much Credit for Good Work Done

Last Monday night the Music Department of the Woman's Club gave the Faust Program which had been postponed from Jan uary due to extremely bad wealth CT. The attendance was good, the best yet, and the program was thoroly enjoyed by all. Each person on the program did exceedingly well. On the whole the program would have been a credit to a much larger town.
 The Soldiers Chorus given by school pupils trained by Miss Peet, was most heartily applaud ed and the audience would not be content until this number was repeated. The Children's Chorus was a new feature for the Music Club programs, and one which may well be repeated.
 The door receipts amounted tt five dollars, quite substantia help toward the music library which the club is endeavorlng t' secure. This was an increase o one dollar and a half over tn previous program.
 The next program will be give in March. The same sort c first class program is assured The attendance should be large still and undoubtedly will b when the general public is be ginning to realize what reall high class programs this club
