 Ole Hagen, Clifton, Arizona.
 J. Wesley Robinson, Nutrioso, Ariz.
 H. A. Bennitt, Nutrioso, Arizona.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE
 PIMA MINING FIELD

Development work has been es- Decially active on mining properties about Tucson the past week,and there has been a decided increase in the mount of ore being shipped out to leighboring smelters. Mining men everywhere report increased interest of investors, due to increasingly pfifi9 able results from properties in the vicinity of Tucson.
 Mineral Hill Mine
 Increased equipment and an addi- tional force of miners is resulting in a big increase in the output of the Mineral Hill Consolidated Copper company located near the Twin Buttes district, southwest of Tucson. The mine is under the management of E.. M. Ray.
 At present 15O men are being work, ed and no tons of ore are being ship, ed daily to the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas Development work is be- ing carried on in five shafts. The Mineral Hill property has developed into one of the best producers in the Tucson section The company oper- ates its own electric light plant and the little settlement of miners nearby is assuming quite citified appear, ance. Profits of the company are be- ing expended in new equipment and machinery
 Vulcan Copper Mining Company
 Ramsdell and Pemberton are mak- ing the Vulcan mine, close to the Min eral Hill property, an active producer About thirty men are employed and ore is being shipped daily. The prop erty is attracting much attention among mining men.
 South San Xavier
 B. M. Ray, son of E. M. Ray, has assumed the management of the South San Xavier mine, which is located inn mediately south and west of the rich San Xavier Copper company mine e. About fifteen men are employed.
 Daily Arizona Consolidated
 The Daily Arizona Copper company in the Catalinas, which is attracting so much favorable attention at this time on account of it's proposition to build a road to Mount Lennon from Oracle provided $5O,OOO worth of stock is subscribed. It has just Dur- chased the Precious Metals mine near Apache camp. a famous old property first started by Sam Hill in lS1S.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-11-17

The property was purchased from F. Geesaman, the well known Cata- Lima mining man, who sold a property to the Copper Queen Mining company when they entered this district. A tunnel of 1000 feet has already been finished on the property.
 Stratton Copper Company
 The Stratton company, nearby of which c. N. Wilson is president, has started active work again and force of twenty men are employed on the prospect. They expect to finish their first-class road from the San Pedro valley within a short time
 Minnie Mine
 The Minnie mine, the famous Bush and Baxter property in the Twin Buttes district, is now the scene of some very extensive development work Three shifts of men are being worked daily in the main working shaft and four feet per day is being made daily at depth of 400 feet. A station will be cut and a crosscut  driven under large body of sulpnide ore encountered in a winze below the 300-foot level. Five hundred tons of metal per month are being shipped.
 Glance Mine
 Ed Bush, the prominent Twin Buttes mining man, is now especially inter- ested in the Glance mine, also in the Twin Buttes section. He reports that in the 5OO-foot shaft, at the bottom of the winze, a three-foot vein of calco- cite ore running forty per cent copper has been uncovered.
 In the east drift of d body of low grade ore six feet in width averaging five per cent is being worked. At the 9OO-foot level stringers of high grade calcocite have been located.
 The shipments from the Glance av- craze 15OO tons per month and seven ty men are being employed by MT. Bush.

FIT SUBJECTS FUR HASSAYAMPA
 CLUB

Anyone who wants to know what is in the south end of the Black Hills range is referred to B B. Starr, the jeweler, and Fred Heilbron, of the New York store They spent part of a day and a whole night finding out.
 Heilbron and Starr made a num- Der of exceedingly valuable deter minations. One is that the automo- bile has been greatly underrated as an aid to the prospector. Another | is that there should not be more than one smelter in the same state. If there hadn't been any Humboldt snelter they would be ahead s2O and two perfectly good pairs of shoes. Moreover, their dispositions and faith in smoke have been damaged beyond repair.
 Last Sunday morning about ten o'clock, Heilbron and Starr started out to prospect the south end of the district. They thought that they might find some open ground and incorporate a mining company of their own. Now Heilbron is selling reorganization shares in Ford and Starr has permanently retired from, the mining game. Let the watchmaker stick to his handspring" 1" is Starr's motto.
 It was about daylight Monday morning when two wild-eyed crea- lures that might have been human once staggered into Dewey, some 40 miles from Jerome. The apparitions were Starr and Heilbron.
 Where are we?" they gasped in unison at the first native they met.
 It ain't Paris and it ain't New Tork,' was the laconic reply. This is Dewey"
 And that ain't Clarkdale?" de- manded Heilbron, pointing down to- ward Humboldt where the smoke of the Consolidated Arizona smelter was rolling up in vast clouds.
 Nope! Guess you're on the trail of the wrong smelter.'
 The strays finally arranged with an auto driver to bring them to Je- rome for s20. They arrived about noon, just when several searching parties were being organized to go out and look for them.
 Heilbron and Starr are a little reticent about telling how they trav- eled Esi ~5e It toward Humboldt, thinkin; tkAt the smoke of the smell ter there came from the Clarkdale plant. The complete story will be told in their forthcoming volume, to be entitled Our Year as Prospec- | tors /"

CASSIDY IS TALKING
 THROUGH HAT AGAIN

BISBEE, Ariz' Nov 11-M. E. Cassidy, Arizona chairman of the finance committee of the Republican national committee, today brought to the attention of the latter organiza- tion the possibility that the manner in which the presidential electors had been voted for was unconstitutional.
 In Arizona all of the electors are bracketed and the voter must cast his ballot for all or none. He cannot make achoice between the electors On this feature the Arizona man be- lieves the Wilson vote in Arizona may be declared void.

Local hits found place in the recital OF
the quartet and withal the effort to re-
produce faithfully the history OF the
class was wholly successful A musical
nterude was followed by the class poem,
'Facta non Verba,' the class motto be-
ing the theme. Miss Evelyn c. Eaton of
Rochester is the poet laureate of the
class and in her class day part she lived
up to a well deserved reputation as a
versifier. There was spirit, plenty of il,
and a generous tincture of fatherly adj
vice in the address to the undergraduates,

The presentation of gifts to individual
members of the class fell to the lot of
Ralph w. Mears OF Marshfield and Alton
A. Rock of Websterville That many of
the tokens struck home" was evidenced
by the ripple of applause that greeted
some of the presentations. Messrs.
Mears and Rock had an explanatory note
for each gift. The program closed with
an orchestral postlude.
Too much weather of the kind that
has prevailed since the sunny days of
March accounted for the failure of the
battalion TO appear in parade on
the campus after the chapel exercises.
II was said that the battalion members
had handed in their suits for the year

afternoon the class committee and in

nor'wester that prevailed, announced
that the program would be held indoors.
At o'clock. or as soon thereafter as
the marshals could arrange the nervous
seniors in marching order. the class en-
tered the chapel to the strains of music
by the seminary orchestra. Kenneth J.
Tillotson of Proctor, the class president,
acted as chairman and the first number
was an orchestral prelude. Most every
body was comfortably seated by the time
the musicians had finished their overture,
although the appearance of the audltori-
