|LOMA PRIETTA MINES IN COPPER BASIN ARE
 CENTER ATTRACTION
Big Strike Recently Reported in This Section of Yavapai County Stimulates Much Excitement.

PRESCOTT, Jan. 1.-Ed. Block wis ited the Loma Prietta holdings in Copper Basins this week to investi- gate new development from. which a big strike was reported, and fiatly stated yesterday the showing is re- markable. the ore dump carrying un- mistakable evidence of what has been accomplished, and the coming of an other fine copper mine for that belt seems to be assured. He said:
 When the strike occurred only last week the shaft had reached nearly a depth of so feet, when the quartz DOT phyry dyke was hit showing strong body of chalco-pyrite. As depth was given the ore body has widened to fully eight feet, and as yet is not de termined, by continued sinking which all the more favorably impressed me and others as to what may reasonably be expected to follow after further de- velopmeDt is given. At the deepest Ppoint there is also a good sized vein of molybdenite that lays in an inde- pendent state from the chaico pyrite. The shaft is being sunk on the verti- cal lines, and it would appear as if the chalco-pyrite is lying in the dyke that has an inclined dip. The showing of the Loma Prietta is wonderful and sets at rest ill-timed rumors circulated against the field for many years. re- sulting in the keeping of capita, out notwithstanding that the Comuiercisl is making a better showing and has a bigger output today than at any time in it's history. without taking into con sideration the generally fine showing other mines are making as develop ment goes ahead. It is my unqualified belief, as well as others conversant with. actual conditions. that the Cop per Basin field is rapdily advancing into a condition to give it prominent rating and earnest consideration henceforth"
 Copper Basin district, since the strike in the Loma Prietta, is the min erai magnet to attract attentloh. anu two more camps are to resume an act i've condition at once-the Rainy Day of Louis LeBarr and the group owned by Hoskins. LarlSin X Hogan.
 Mir. LeBarr stated yesterday he IS arranging to begin development to carry out exploration that was sus- pended after annual title work was done earlier in the year. He will drive the tunnel 300 additional feet. giving a total of 500 feet, when D depth of foot for foot will be reached. The old crosscut was run for 200 feet and work also will bgein at that point. In all workings. LeBarr states. there is ore and he will ship to the shelter later His group is situated to the northeast of the Commercial. less than one mile distant.

THE CAR RIDER

was for years a train rider. Do
you know what that means? If you
do you are wiser than the great ma
jOrity, for the phrase is a new-one
and covers a calling somewhat
unique. A train rider l was, with all
its jar, risk and peril, and would
probably be one today but for Imo-

sharing all my joys.
A train rider is a man not listed
as railroad employee, but always on
their corporate pay roll. He is a spe-
cial officer. The pay is $85 a month
and SIS extra for expenses. The work
is neither, regular nor OnerOUs, only
the train rider Of a railroad division
must be at the censOriOus and unal-
terable beck and call of the railroad
at all odd, even or unusual hours.
In a word, my functions were these:
To proceed on order to a certain
train, to locate a special freight car,
and until the car left the end of the
division not to allow it or its con-
tents to leave my sight for a single
moment Of time When I turned nv
watch and ward over to the car rider

completed, all except sending in a re-

ON THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS

I, becomes difficult at times to enforce laws be- cause such enforcement is not backed by public opin ior or because Of the indifference Of the public Yet now. since the people Of Alaska h:ve in uncertain voice declared fer the Out2wy Of ;he liquor traffic there are those who already begin fear that when a prohbitory law has been placed upon the statute books. it will not be enforced; ant they cite in- stances of lack of law enforcement ia towns that under local option This is no argument. however, against Terrtory-wide prohibition or local option There are laws against murder and arson Snd numbers of other crimes and misdemeanors and yet it cannot be said that these inhibory laws failures because they are broken from time to time; nor must it be assumed that the commission of inc would be de- creased if these laws were repealed.

 There is. perhaps. no law that was even enacted that did not press somewhat hard uneQually upon some some interest but. as a free republic the majority Of the people supposed rule. such laws are accepted in good faith and obcycd by the good citizenship Of the country.
 If laws are oppressive and restrictive unjust or negotiable. their operation soon becomes serevi- dent. and their amendment or repeal soon follows. Fool laws and freak laws sometimes find their way the books. it is true. but they become more honored in the breach than in the observance but the steady sober sense Of the American people has in the past and will continue in the future to act balance-wheel between laws that are absurd freakish and those which are sane and safe.
 And this brings us back to where we started namely enforcement Of laws and the prohibition of the liquor traffic in Alaska Given law hat is work able 1t can and doubt will be enforced. for as stated. it will be backed by that great moral force called public opinion and it's enforcement and the punishment or offenders should prove no difficult matter under favorable environments.

ARCTIC WEALTH
lSeattle Post.Intelllgencer


 Recent reports from various Arctic explorations promise in practical results than the work of many Of the frostbitten explorers of recent years Vhajalmur Steansson has discovered new land north Of Mackenzie Bay and there is rumor of mineral wealth in sight Stefansson has already spent two years in that region. and sends word that he will not return before the summer of 1918 He has been living largely the country, which means the ice and showing his ability to exist and carry on his work without regard to the supplies from civilization generally keenly needed in Arctic explorations
 Stefansson's land north of Mackenzie Bay is of uncertain extent, and little has far been made known Of its character or resources It is to closer acquaintance with this land that the explorer will probably devote the next eighteen months before re turning
 Recently. another explorer, Christian Leden has accomplished something for the. Dominion of Canada by his work. in which service Stefansson is also en- listed. He has trayersed the great waste in the ex treme Arctic section of Northwest Canada, beyond Hudson bay. and believes that gold and oil deposits exist there. He found native with god-tipped harpOon and another who had gold nuggets for his rifle. From many natives Leden had news of both oil and gold farther north.
 The explorations of both Stefansson and Leden are likely to be of the greatest material importance Their work though separately undertaken is pointing to the ultimate treasure house Perhaps the next gold rush" will be trails even more diff cult and remote than those the KlOndkers followed.
