EPIDEMIC OF
SMALLPOX HITS
CAMP OF RAY
Precautions Taken to Pre-
vent Spread of Dreaded
Disease - Cooperation Is
Needed.

There is an epidemic of small pox in
Ray. Starting in Sonora among the
Mexicans it had reached alarming pro-
portions before it was brought to the
notice of Doctor Crawford, chief ply
sician in the camp. With the able
help of his assistants Doctors Perkins
and Hoag he has battled the epidemic
day and night, segregating the afflicted
and exposed in a camp south of Ray.
Others he has quarantined in their
homes with guards over them
Every child attending school in Ray
and Sonora has been vaccinated and
all employees of the Ray Consolidated
Mining company must present certifi-
Gates showing they have been vac
cinated or allow the doctors TO VOC
cinate them before going to work. All
public gatherings including church and
lodge meetings have been asked TO
notice. Several public places In Ray
have been closed and most of the busi-
ness houses in Sonora also the pic
ture shows and all places of amuse-
ment have locked doors. Dr. Crawford
says the epidemic is now under con-
troll and he asks the corporation OF all
the citizens Of Ray and Sonora in
stamping 1t out.
The cold wea aafffe1-of the past Few
days has greatly increased the danger.

Diamond DRILLS TOfXP[ORE
WINDSOR AND NEARY GROUPS
Of QUEEN GREEK COPPER CO.
Stephen Mackay Company is Organized to Develop
Promising Property at Superior-Another Big De-
veopment Movement Launched in This Field

Development of the Windsor and
Neary groups of claims, adjoining the
lake Superior and Arizona at Superior
was assured this week when the
Queen Creek Copper company let a
contract for extensive diamond drilling
to T. ]. Ryan. Of Colorado. the man
who drill ed the Magma and United
Gold Mines properties. Coal. ma
chinery and supplies have been order
ed and it is expected that operations
will be under way by December /.
The propertJ tc be developed con-
sists of fourteen claims one mile south
of the famous Magma mine and ad-
joins the Lake Superior and Arizona on
the south. Four of the claims have
been held for years by w. C. Windsor
of Superior. and have but recently been
purchased by the Queen Creek Cop
per Company, which is headed by Alex
ander Mackay and Fred s. Stephen, of
the Dundee-Arizona Copper company
of Jerome. The company has also
taken over the ten claims of the Neary
group, these claims having been To-
Gated by James F. Neary at the time he
was superintendent Of the Magma
mine
Diamond drilling VIII be commenced
on the fissure that cuts through the
Windsor and Neary groups, and shafts
will be sunk of the Windsor group. No
limit has been placed on the operations.
Ryan having been ordered to go ahead
and demonstrate the fissure to depth
Samples of ore taken from various
workings and dumps on the windsor
property show gold and silver values
ranging from $500 to $1,000 a ton.
These results were reported two years
ago by W. E. Deity, the well known
engineer. who held the property under
bond for four years. Owing to in
tense teaching action near the surface.
samples taken from the shallower
workings were assayed only for gold
and silver with the results above noted.
AS to copper content. samples taken
from the dump of the 60-foot incline
shaft in the gulch on the Gold Crown
No. 2 ran 1850 per cent copper, while
general cuttings from the ore showing
on the north side of the 60-foot in
cline in small seams and punches ran
$40 per cent in copper.
Engineers who have examined the
property say that there are excellent
prospects of the Queen Creek Copper
company making big mine, owing to
the excellent showing and the fact that
the formation is practically the same
as that found at the Magma.

Latest returns from those counties
which had not reported the result from
all precincts indicate that Campbell is
s-ill leading Hunt for the governorship
by between 160 and 200 votes, and
while democratic headquarters refuse
to concede CampbelPs election until
after the official canvass Of the votes,
it is not expected that the result will
be materially changed. A recount of
the votes for president in California
is being made, but has not changed the
result, thus assuring the reelection of
President Wilson. Final recounts in
very doubtful states are being awaited
by the republican national committee
however before conceding the presi-

result in the first aid contest was so
close that both the C. and A. and o. D.

The Coming Election

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The coming City and Town elections
are right upon us and it is up to every
voter to buckle on his armor for the
night which is surely to be strenuous,
and which we hope will be conducted
on the basis of sound judgment, truth
and Righteousness. No tricks and no
funny business this year. 1 believe in
two parties, the Grand Old Republican
party and the Old Reliable Democratic
party; all other parties are but side is
sues to which you need but nav an
! apologetlc glance Now, Mr. Republi-
can. II behooves you to wake up and
take notice; the Democratic party is
wen organized and pretty lively kind
OF critter when on the road; they are
alert, shrewd, ambitious, hungry for
oHlce, and they will leave no stone un-
turned to accomplish their aims. They
may be up to snuff for aught we know
or throw pepper in your eyes to blind
you to the true status Of the situation
NOW, Mr. Republican,, don't delude
yourself with the idea that things will
run of themselves; they won't and it is
up 10 you to hustle, to be just as alert
shre"d. energetic and ambitious as
your Democratic brother; go to the polls
early and vote for men tried and true
Tor men of property, for men of sound
Judgment. who will conduct municipal
aHairs wisely and economically.
Again. Mr.. Republican, don't delude
yourself with the idea that in the Sep
tember election it doesn't matter who
is Governor. 1t does matter. You want
a man thoroughly grounded in Republi-
can principles; man who will keep
his promises both as to prohibition and
TO the strict observance of civil SER
vice rules, one so true to those rules
that he will consider ability and merit
high above partisan objects and tactics
Again, don't delude yourself with the
idea that it doesn't matter who occu-
pies the White House Chair. 1t does
matter more than you think for. Re-
member this, that nearly every Demo-
crat is free trader and, if you desire
the prosperity of home industries. good
wages and full dinner pail, then see
to it that you vote for the man who
holds those principles as dear as life
