With the recognition by the United

II IN most appropriate TO give at this
time comparative statement OF the
financial conditions of the leading banks
both Of the city Of Mexico and Of the
states Of Mexico. and at the same time
the plans and attitude of the Constitu-
tonalists with regard to those banks
and the financial measures advocated
by the dc facto Government
The Mexican and French revolutions
have run along parallel lines. the diff

about by the notifications due to en-
vironment and the personal equation II
the contending forces The all con-
trolling force has been the pressure of
the masses for emancipation from
economic scrfdom.
Through adaptation to this controlling
revolutionary power two dominant fac
tors have survived The Constitutional
lists. Of which Gen. Carranza is the chief
exponent. and the banking system OF
Mexico. Of which the Banco Nacional is
the chief representative.
These two factors will make or un-
make the future of Mexico. Their ef-
fectiye cooperation will preserve for the
republic It's entity: their failure will
mean intervention. This brief nomina-
tion of the elementary cause and effect
of the revolution has been given in order

HAYDEN SEEKS ID
 AID MINERAL L0CATORS
Offers Bill to Overcome
 Difficulties of Reservation Pros

Congressman Offers Bill to Overcome
 Difficulties of Reservation Pros
 poets. 9
 A bill was introduced in congress on Feb. 2S by Congressman Carl Hay den that is designed to do away with the difficulties heretofore experienced by those who have located mineral claims on Indian reservations or rath- CT who have discovered such locations and have wished to make entry there for but have been unable to do so ow- ing to the fact that the lands includ- de were within the bundaries a reservation.
 The bill, which is now in the hands of the committee on Indian affairs, provides that the secretary of the in terior may lease to any person, firm or corporation Hany part of the unal- lotted lands within any Indian reser- vation in the state of Arizona here tofore withdrawn from entry under the mining laws, for the purpose of copper and other valuable metallifer- ous minerals.
 The locators of mining claims are given preferential rights to such leases and the leases shall be made
  in the lessee to renewals in ten year periods.
 The lessees are required to pay to the United States for the benefit of the Indians, a royalty which shall be two per centum of the gross value of the output of the minerals at the mine, dug and payable at the end ot each month succeeding that of the ex- traction of the minerals from the mine and an annual rental, payable at the date of such lease and annual ly thereafter on the area covered by such base, at the rate of twenty five cents per acre for the first calendar year thereafter, fifty cents per acre for the second, third, fourth and fifth years respectively and $1 per acre for each and every year thereafter.
 The lessee is also required to ex- pend not less than s100 in develop ment work annually on each claim and the bill contains provisions for the forfeiture of the leases in the event of non-payment of rent or non- user of rights. --.-..-s
 It is claimed that the passage of this bill will open to use and devel- opment some highly promising depos it's which have, heretofore, been inn possible of working.

OUR FORESTS ARE GREAT STATE
 ASSET
Rapid Progress is Being Made In Building Roads in Northern Forests

T. E. Mccullough, forest examiner of the Coconino national forest, was in Phoenix this week.,
 HesStates that great progress is be- ing made in building roads through the northern forest, which has within it's limits some of the finest scenery and best fishing in the state. He an- ticipateS great results from the bills now pending in congress by which funds will be advanced to the forest service for the building of roads on much the same principle as the reclamation funds are handled. He speaks in enthusiastic terms of the Hayden bill for the establishment of game refugees and says it is one of the most necessary pieces of legislation that has been advanced for the pres ervation of the wild. animals and birds. tv
 The. work done by the forest ser vice in the matter of educating camp CTS not leave their campfres burn ing, according to Examiner McCul- tough, is bearing good fruit. In 1914 there were 105 fires in the Coconino forest, while last year, with many more campers enjoying the privilege, there were but seventy-six.
 1 The forest service is now cutting the university timber and will turn over a handsome sum to the state institution as the result of this years numbering, which is being done scien- tiically and to conserve the young growth as far as possible. Exhaustive experiments in the growing of young trees and their planting in place of timber removed are being carried on constantly and with good signs of sue cess. It is the ambition of the ser vice to make the forests a perpetual source of revenue by placing all tim Der cut with young trees.

FALLING WALL OF COURT HOUSE TAT PRESCOTT KILLS ONE MAN

One man is dead and another is in the Mercy hospital suffering from serious internal injuries which are ex- pected to cause his death as a result of the south wall of vault in the old court house caving in and breaking through the floor and burying two men. The dead man is Louis w. Schooler of Long Beach and the seri- ously injured one is George Ball. Physicians at the hospital stated last night that there is little hope for the recovery of Ball.
 When the accident occurred there were four men working in the base ment, two of them escaping without injury. Failure to hear the look out below" warning was the cause of the accident.
