FIRST AID PRIZE
CUhTtSI ANNOUNCED

To further the cause of first aid
and safety first the Ray Consolidated
Copper company is to award a prize
of the value of $500 to the boss
actively engaged in mining, showing
the least number of days lost per
1,00N shifts employed. This prize will

year 1916, beginning January first. On
March Is, 1915, there will be a COM
petitive test for the Ray first aid
cup, between the three shafts and
the suface. This contest will elicit
much enthusiasm as one Of the teams
was competitors in the recent San
Francisco meet at the Worlds Fair.
A considerable interest is being mani
tested by the boys at the reduction
works, where the work was recently
started y the Ray Con-, under the
supervision of Mr. More, the safety
inspector, and if the boys over there
start in for the scalps of the Ray
boys, they will surely create a stir

THE CHRISTMAS GIFT
OF JUDGE FRENCH

The Mexican men employed in Judge
French's gang presented the Judge
with a box of fine cigars for Christ
mas The judge was somewhat taken
little speech and the men were very
happy over the gracious manner in
which their recipient acknowledged
the kind thoughts which prompted the
men to remember him. The judge
is exceedingly well liked, not only by
the men directly employed under him,
but by all the men of the community,
regardless of race. He is always ready
to lend them a helping hand and
join in their joys as well as their
sorrows. Most of the Mexicans mar
ried in Ray and Sonora have been
married by the judge and they all
look upon him in the role of a god
father and counsellor and no matter
how trivial or of how great a mag
nitude, their grief may be, he is al
ways the same, ready to assist in
any way possible, and the token of
esteem in which he is held by all
the Mexicans, is a great source of
Pleasure to the judge
The people of Ray join in wishing
the judge a very Prosperous and
Happy New Year.

Every worker owes it to his fellow

RtCORO SNOW IN
MURIHtRN ARIzOAb

PRESCOTT. Ariz., Jan. 6.-Buried
under one of the heaviest SHOWS
ever recorded, northern Arizona en-
tered the new year in the grip of
the greatest December storm expert
enced in the past thirty-six years.
with from three to five feet of snow
on the level, train service was badly
crippled or entirely annulled, while
scores of small camps are still COM
pletely isolated from the world.
Five feet on the level was reported
from Flagstaff, with the snow much
deeper in the pine forests. Depths
of from ten to twelve feet were re-
ported from higher elevations, as
well as from points in the Jerome
district.
Traffic on the main line of the
Santa Fe was badly crippled early in
the storm, and the distance from
Williams to Ash Fork, twenty four
miles, was only made in seven hours
by overland trains. On the Santa
Fe, Prescott and Phoenix, passenger
trains were stalled from three to
twelve hours, running away behind
schedule. Four freight trains on the
line were stalled at Skull Valley be-
tween here and Phoenix, while others
were held here awaiting the opening
of the line for unrestricted traffic.
Train service on the Santa Fe's line
to Crown King was annulled until the
road could be dug out, while the
United Verde and Pacific has been
tied up all week. Four feet of snow
is reported from Jerome Junction and
fifteen feet in the cuts.
Owing to the heavy fall of snow,
there was no claim jumping on New
Years eve in Yavapai county, or III
any other part of northern Arizona.
For years it has been the custom of
many who had not performed their
assessment work as required by law
to relocate on New Years eve, but
the snow effectually spoiled all plans
this year. Digging through the heavy
snow was practically impossible, and
monument shifting out of the ques-
. tion.
Rangemen are jubilant over the
prospects for pasturage on the north
ern ranges, and are confident of an
other banner year in the cattle in
dustry in this section. of the state.
