HUNT CONTESTS ELECTION

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec Sc. w. P.
Hunt, governor of Arizona, has filed
contest proceedings in the superior
court of Maricopa county against
Thomas E. Campbell, whose election to
the office of governor by majority
of thirty votes was shown by the Off
cial canvass of returns wednesday
afternoon. Petition for an inspection
Of all the ballots cast in the recent
election was filed by Hunt, who alleges
that Illegal votes were cast in each and
every precinct and county in the state.
The contest over the governorship,
the first of it's kind to be held in Ari-
zona, was filed in division No. l of the
superior court, of which R. C. Stanford
is judge, within few minutes after
the official canvass had been COM
pleted by the secretary of state. The
canvass had been delayed by the failure
of returns from one precinct in

contest; Attorney General Wiley Jones,
and Homer Wood, of Prescott, went to
the courthouse and filed the papers.
Hunt executed bond for $500, his bond
being signed by Charles r. Howe,
chairman of the state tax commission
and a strong Hunt supporter, and
Homer Wood. Immediately after filing
the papers Eugene Ives appeared be-
fore Judge Stanford and designated
Homer Wood as inspector for Hunt in
the coming contest.
Eugene Ives appeared in court yes
terday and urged the immediate ap-
pointment of an inspector, but as at
torneys for Campbell have not con-
cluded their plans it is not probable
that an inspector will be appointed by
the court.
Hunt is represented in the contest
by Eugene S. Ives and Frank Curley,
of Tucson, and w. B. Cleary, of Bisbee.
Campbell will be represented by Judge

PROBE G|LA COUNTY
ROAD DEPARTMENT

GLOBE, Ariz., Dec. S.-Gross ir-
regularities in the Gila county road
department are believed to have been
uncovered by County Attorney Nor
man J. johnson, who recently caused
the arrest Of George Foster, clerk
and issued warrant for Morton r.
Lesher, chief clerk. 1t is believed that
the county's loss will amount to $780,

and Lesher, who left recently for the
Pacific Coast has not. yet been ap-
pretended.
{ Misappropriation of funds through
the falsifying of road certificates is
the charge against Foster, who is said
to have confessed that he realized $145
by forging false certificates. The
county road department has recently
been engaged in the expenditure of a
100000 bond issue, and it is expected
that checking of expenses during the
past few months will show much larger
discrepancies A grand jury is to be
summoned to investigate alleged pad
ding and overcharges in the depart

From Smelter Samples

Announcement that the Ray Broken

for public subscription at fifty cents
is made in this issue of the Copper
Camp. OF this amount. 100000 shares
have been allotted to Ray. Hayden and
Phoenix, the subscription office being
at Phoenix.
Interest in the initial offering of the
Broken Hill company runs high in Ray
by reason of the fact that the property
is located but a mile from this camp
and because of the fact that 1t Is es-
sentially a Ray company Frank
Schilling, one of the best known citi-
zens of Ray, is president Of the COM
pany. and DR.. j. E. Crawford of Ray,
chief surgeon for the Ray Consolidated

Samples of iron-gold ore from the
Broken Hill property southeast of Ray
shipped recently to the Sasco smelter,
ran better than $12 ton in gold. The
ore gave high values in iron with low
silica content. making the ore very
desirable for smelling purposes.
| One of the first steps to be begun
by the company will be the installation
of a tramway from the mine to the Ray
and Gila Valley railroad just below
Ray, where excellent facilities for the
erection of ore bins and a side track
, conveniently located are to be found.

AzUR|TE HIT
NEAR CHLORIDE

CHLORIDE, Ariz., Dec. 8.-Large
quantities of azurite have been found
in g. 12-foot vein cropping on the Ser
pentine group of claims, about half
a mile north, of the Empire. Silver
values are also In evidence at the new
strike.
Heavy hosting machinery, pumps
and a compressor may be necessary at
the Georgia mine in order to handle
the heavy flow of water recently
struck in the shaft at that property.
Rock coming from the lower part of
the shaft continues to be heavily min
eralized and copper stained, leading
TO the conclusion that this district runs
into copper at depth. Fumes of copper
bearing ores have been encountered on
the lower levels of the Tennessee mine,
while ore from the 14O0 level shows an
increasing amount of copper content
over the upper levels.
