The Buggy Ride

Despite the changing times.
| cherish the conviction that if
there is anyone within sound of
this typewriter who has missed
taking his girl out riding with
the old boss and buggy of fame,
he has missed something.
When grndma wore that bonnet,
An grandpa wore his hat,
They took a horse n buggy
An Hoped jes' think o that!
He said, You're awful pretty
She said, You're brave and
true"
An then, beneath the bonnet,
think they kissed, don't you
The long summer afternoon on
the long country roads is pleas
ant, but if it is evening and
there is moonlight thrown in, it
becomes a dream. You drive up
to her home with some trepida-
ton, put in the clutch and the
breke and boss anchors.
She is ready with surprising
quickness. She must have ex-
pected YOU.
That bit of ribbon on her hair
and that flower.
Where are we going?' She
asks casually, with the warm
blood in her cheek, and, as you
work the self-starter on the boss,
release the clutch and he shows
signs of forward movement, you
reply: TO the end of the world, F"
and she makes no objection.
Can you beat it?
You have youth and a day, and
you know as well as anything
can be known that the pomp of
emperors in comparison is as 80
cents. Down the long, winding
road to heaven, through the cool
shady, woodland places, by
the shores of still lakes and
along the dusty and flower bor-
dered highways of this life, the
boss and buggy move.
Slowly the talk drifts towards
imperishable condolences, to lit
tie loving "asides, " to the touch
es of friendly hands and feet,
till someone says: Il could ride
so forever, The word has been
said, the old story is told again
and the troubles of a long life
time together have begun.
Will no one stop them? Will
no one shout aloud to them:
Young folks, the rapids are be-
fore you, Stop now, before it is
everlastingly too late" No.
No one shouts thus, and so they
go to their doom and are married
and live happily ever after-or,
at least. for some time, and the
tide rises and the tide falls
And nobody tries to stop it.

the beginning of the greatest era
of roadbuilding in America. The
new law provides that the feder-
al government shall share equal
ly with the separate states the
expense of road building. Dur
ing the year beginning July l,
1916, the federal government
will spend SIS, 900, 900 for roads,
the states contributing an equal
or larger amount. The next fed
eral appropriation will he $40,
600, 900 and an additional SIS. 600.
600 appropriation each year un-
til 1921.
States wishing to avail them
selves of federal aid in road
building must accept the pro-
visions of the law through their
legislatures or governors. Before
the work can be. actually begun
they must also have highway de-
partments. With the exception
of Indiana, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Texas. the states al
ready have such departments.
The maximum amount the gov
eminent will pay is $40, a
mile for road construction. The
state pays half the expense or a
greater amount. The maximum

Great Tungsten
Strike in Yauapai

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. 3.-E. ].
TreverroW and j. C. Mcdonald, who
recently came to Yavapai county from
Denver, have made what appears to
be an important tungsten strike on
Tule creek, in the Tip Top country.
They have sunk a 1O-foot shaft on a
fiveinch vein that is almost pure
tungsten. Several hundred pounds of
this phenomenally rich ore have been
sacked for shipment.
George Thompson is sacking tung-
stem ore at the Black Diamond mine
and will make a second shipment to
Pittsburgh as soon as the roads are
open for freighting. 1t is said that
Thompson has financial backing for a
custom tungsten mill on his property.
If such a mill is erected it should give
the tungsten industry in that region
a tremendous impetus.
Arrangements have been made to in
stall a powerful dredging plant at the
Hydraulic placer claims, on. lower
Lynx creek. The dredge installed
some months ago g.sas~ too frail for the
heavy work, but the recoveries of gold
far exceeded expectations.
j. A. Starr, an engineer representing
George Wingfield, the Goldfield min
ing millionaire, is making a second
examination of the Tip Top mine and
it is reported that a handsome offer
has been made for the property. On
the occasion of his former visit he
took an option on the tungsten hold
receive $45,000 if the option is exer-
cised.

PLAN To STRENGTHEN
DRY AME ENDMENT 7

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 3.-Several
amendments designed to strengthen
Arizona's drastic prohibition law will
be considered at the meeting of the
state temperance federation here this
month One amendment to be pro-
posed will provide for the destruction
of all liquor confiscated by the sheriff
and another would take away the pow
er of suspending Jail sentences for vio-
lation of the prohibition amendment
from judges of the superior court.
Another amendment designed to pre-
vent the introduction of LIQUOR for per-
sonal use will probably be drafted in
case the supreme court should decide
that the present amendment does not
prevent it's introduction for this pur-
pose. More power for the attorney
general, enabling him to take change
of venue from any county where the
law is not being properly enforced will
also be considered by the drys.

MINING PROPERTIES
HARD HIT BY STORM

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. 3.-With the
opening of the roads to travel over a
score of mining properties which were
forced to suspend on account of the
big storm are preparing to resume op-
erations. Freighting was impossible,
and in many cases workings were
flooded, making development work out
of the question. The Iona Prieta
mine in the Copper Basin and the
Commercial were both compelled to
suspend operations and in a number of
instances the mines will not be able to
resume until entirely new roads are
built.
The tailings dam at the Cash Camp
on the Hassayampa was washed away,
together with over 1000 tons of by
product. The formal transfer of this
property to New York investors is be-
ing held up until final examination
can be made. For over a month not an
auto has made trip to single min
ing camp within a radius of twenty
five miles, an unprecedented situation
in this district.

HOW SHIPPERS CAN
HELP THE RAILROADS

The interstate commerce commits
sion in a recent circular urged all
shippers to avoid the unnecessary de-
tention of cars, and the National In
dustrial Traffic league at it's meeting
in Chicago recently recommended that
all members of the league be urged
to make all possible efforts to prompt
ly release the equipment of the car
riers and load cars as near their ca
pacity as commercial conditions will
permit. Mr.. Hibbins makes the fol-
lowing suggestions:
First: Load and unload all cars as
quickly as possible.
Second: Load all cars to the full
capacity.
Third: Anticipate the disposition
of freight before it's arrival.
Fourth Only order such cars as
can be loaded promptly.
Fifth: Do not order special type of
car when ordinary type will answer
the purpose.
Sixth: Reduce to the minimum the
practice of billing cars to intermediate
points to be held for reconsignment.

FALTIN CAUSING A
REIGN OF TERROR

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 3.-On the
ground that a reign of terror exists at
the state insane asylum, steps are be-
ing taken to have VIM. Faltin, the
murderer recently committed to the
institution, returned to the state prison
at Florence Three guards have been
detailed to watch Faltin day and night
and two attendants accompany him on
his daily walk. A number of the
guards, it is understood, have refused
to attend Faltin on the ground that he
is extremely dangerous and liable at
any time to kill one of them in an at
tempt to escape. The board of control
has asked the attorney general for an
opinion as to whether Faltin can be
kept at the state prison. In case he
cannot he will be put in irons or a spe-
cial cell with iron bars built for his
use. There are no accommodations for
the criminally insane at the state
asylum.

FORTUNES WAIT
IN PLACER BEDS

The fame of Arizona as a copper
producing state is so great that some
times her deposits of other minerals
do not receive their due share of at
tention. It is not very generally
known that within the boundaries of
Arizona are some Of the largest and
richest gold placers in the country.
The early prospector discovered these
placers and worked the richest spots
with his pan and rocker. Consider
able sums of money have been spent
in attempts to develop certain of the
deposits, but either through misman-
agement or unwise expenditure of the
money because of insufficient investi-
cation few Of these ventures have
paid.
In the exploitation of placer ground
the question of an easily available
supply of water is important 1t is
pre- eminently the great problem in
the development of Arizona placers
where there is so little rainfall and so
few permanent streams. To the man
who is able to solve this difficulty with
a reasonable expenditure of capital,
Arizona gold placers VIII give UP
millions of dollars worth of gold.
The great possibilities of placer
mining in Arizona lie in the extensive
deposits that are described in more
or less detail in a bulletin recently
published by the Arizona State Bureau
of Mines, entitled Gold Placers Of
Arizona" by Frank G. Mcclure
These deposits are well worth investi-
cation, and will, with the proper
methods of development, assume a
considerable Importance in the states
production of gold.
These bulletins are for distribution.
