Cave Creek

The following are communication
received from the east, addressed to
me and the Bureau Of Mines respec-
lively and are given in their entirety:
| am going to enclose a copy of
letter we are sending to Director
Willis of the Bureau of Mines, be-
cause it seems to me it might be in
teresting reading for the people in
Phoenix particularly who read the
Sunday mining news of the Arizona
Republican.
May l add one other thought OF
suggestion? That is. up here it looks
to us as though the people in the
neighborhood of Phoenix are little
slow and not up and doing in the
same way as the people in the neigh
borhood of Tucson and in the south
eastern part of Arizona generally.
You will find most of the free adj
vertisng through public sources as
well as private, enter their attention
everywhere except in mining districts
that would benefit the people of
Phoenix. Whereas, on the other hand.
the people of Phoenix and in that
neighborhood. have to pay the largest
proportion of the taxes and expenses
to support Mining Bureaus. the State
University, and other public institu
tons or. if you please, that is the
impression which prevails up here.
The illustration of my point I think
appears perfectly clear in the en-
closed copy letter. and the fact that
in the Bureau of Mines issue they do
not recognize the existence of Mari
copa county as containing any gold
bearing rock to an unlimited extent
or amount. independent of the ques-
ton of assets.
Personally | believe this is the time
for the Arizona Republican to shout
a little more on behalf of the gold
bearing rock in Maricopa county and
draw the public attention to its possi-
bilities and | am not asking for any
free advertising of Cave Creek. or
any properties in which I am inter-
ested. but for the county as a whole.
regardless of whose mine it is or who
is interested in it.
l believe the shouting on the sub
ject generally will attract the atten-
ton of capital and labor to that To-
cality which will return a benefit to
the city of Phoenix and eventually
every one of us will be benefited, in
dependent of who gets the first
benefit.
January 81. 1916.
Director Charles +. Willis.

Tucson. Arizona.
Sir: We beg to acknowledge your
kindness in sending us eight copies OF
Bulletins, issued by the Arizona Bu-
reau of Mines. and hope you will con-
tinue to compliment US by sending us
any future bulletins.
We presme that you are DESTROYS
of making the Bulletins as accurate
as possible, and we trust you will

certain omissions, beyond doubt I'M

neigh5orhood of the Crown King coun-
try, has shipped about $4,000, 600 worth
of ore. From the Tiger Gold estate
shipments of 1925 per ton ore have
ben made The Savoy group has pro-
Guced an ore carrying go ounces in
silver to the ton, and gold ore hav-
ing an average value Ofg $500 per
ton The Eclipse has produced about
100000 worth of silver bullion, with
the ore assaying as high as $1,000 in
silver to the ton. The War Eagle
Gladiator group has a production rec
ord of more than 100000 worth OF
gold bullion and concentrates. The
Lincoln property. another old time
producer, has outputted about 100000
worth Of ore. Other properties in the
Crown King country have flattering
production records, but the before
mentioned will serve to demonstrate
the value of the field as whole.
The Crown King area is highly
mineralized and carries an ore that
resembles closely in character and
mineral contents the better grade
Tonopah ores. The prospectors and
miners who are migrating to Yavapai
country are very favorably impressed
with the Crown King field and are de-
voting their. energies to mineral re-
search therein with considerable sue
cess Among their number are several
former Nevadans and Coloradoans-
notably Jim Sullivan, Cripple Creek
and Tonopah pioneer
The Eclipse mine. although small in
AREA single claim-is another rec
ord maker of former years that is in
line for protracted era of prosperity
in this da yof modern mining and
milling appliances. 1t lies next to. the
Savoy group and is owned by Luke
brothers of Phoenix. In the late sos
the Eclipse shipped about 100000
worth of ore, a considerable tonnage
having a value as high as 1000 ounces
| in silver per ton. 1t was mined in
parallel vein to what is known as the
! Tiger Gold ledge. The ore disclosed
in the workings is not alone rich in
silver. but in lead and zinc as well. 1t
offers no treatment problem which
cannot be solved by the oil flotation
| process. The extension of this rich
ledge has been opened on the Bond
property, where the same grade and
character of ore is exposed.

GETTING THE CHJl,D'S VIEW

One of the commOnest reasons for
our failure to get along with young
children, and for our failure to get the
most out of them, is our attempt to
understand their actions in terms of
our own maturer motives and values
Or rather. there is generally no at
tempt to understand at all. merely a
measuring and criticising on the as
sumption that their reasons" for doing
things are similar to our own.

Probably the best news received this
week is the reported ending of the
strike at Clifton Morenci and the re-
turn of the men to work. This mis-
understanding between employers and
men now seems to be on the way to a
happy settlement and let us hope a
continuous and permanent one. The

Lake County Patriots

Commend us to those Lake
county people for patriotism and
public spirit of the highest type.
Two years ago they voted $780,
10000 for building good roads and
elected r. f. Z. Cooke, Z. l.. Fer
ran and Il. E. Edge as bond trus-
tees to handle the fund. The
roads have been finished, the mon
ey expended to the satisfaction of
the people of the county and the
trustees havn rendered their re-
port to the county commissioners.
For handling the fund .tEc trus-
tees were entitled to a commission
of enc per cent amounting 10
SIS, 100000, but they charged only
for actual and necessary expenses,
AID the bill thew rendered a.
to $675.)0.
Lake county and the towns
therein have been governed for
years by just such noble men as
Cooke, Ferran and Edge. and
that is why the people are hapl2.
and prosperous and the Whole
county is building up and pro-
with gratifying rapidity.
Fortunate is the man who has 4

All Candidates Disqualified

If all the contentious of sun
dry lawyers should finally be APP
proved by the supreme court,
Frank A. Wood of st. Petersburg,
may be declared the Democratic
nominee for goverHor-and, as a
sequence, Perry G. Wallis name
instead of Park Trammell's may
appear on the November ballot
as the nominee for United States
senator.
In the argument in the Knott
Cats contest before the supreme
court on Aug. 1st inst, the law
yers for Mr.. Cats contended that
Mr.. Knott was disqualified from
becoming a candidate because he
had tened an oath declaring,
"I am qualified under the consti-
tuition and laws to fill the office OF
governor" not that 81 will be
qualified ;" whereas, in truth and
in fact he was not qualified, be-
cause he then and subsequently
held and still holds the office OF
comptroller, which he should have
resigned in order to qualify as a
candidate for governor.
A member of the court suggest
ed that this reasoning would APP
ply to Governor Trammell, who
did not resign his office to run for
United States senator.
If the court should uphold the
contention of the Cats lawyers,
its decision would rule out not
only Mr.. Knott and Governor
Trammell, but also Senators Farris
and Hudson, candidates for gov
ernor, who did not resign from the
state senate prior to becoming
candidates for the higher position.
Next comes Hon. John S. Beard,
eminent lawyer of Pensacola, who
declares that Mr.. Cats is ineligl- |
BILE, because, when the November
election occurs, he will not have
been a qualified voter for the five
years required by the constitution.
AS to this, it may be asked, what
is the constitution between
friends? And whose duty is it to
see that the provisions of the con-
stitution are enforced? Would
the legislature, which uniformly
ignores the constitution, take
steps to enforce its provisions a
gainst Mr.. Cats, if he should be
elected governor? Would Col.
Beard or any other able, patriotic
and self-sacriicing lawyer, file a
quo warranto in the supreme
court to prevent Mr.. Cats from
being sworn in?
But Col Beard does not quote
any decisions to settle the mean
ing of the words "citizen and res
idont" occurring in that part of
the constitution under and by
which he argues that Mr.. Cats
is disqualified. If the word "cit-
izen" means that a man must be
u qualified voter for five years
preceding the general election be-
fore he can be eligible to the office
of governor. then Mr.. Cats clear
ly is disqualified. Col. Beard must
go before the supreme court and
prove this before Mr. Cats can
be ruled out, and, if the court
should decide in favor of Col.
Boards contention then Hon.
Frank A. Wood of st. Petersburg,
would be the Democratic nominee
for governor.
OF course this is on the hypoth-
esis that the court sustains the
views and contentious of both Col.
Beard and Mr. .Catts's lawyers
Well, it's a pretty mess, but we
hope the lawyers will soon succeed
in "unscrambling" it.

Florida troops (the second reg
iment) are still being detained at
Black point, the mobilization
camp near Jacksonville. The rea-
son they have not been sent to the
Rio Grande boundary is doubtless
their well kncwn intrepidity,
added to their indignation about
Mexican outrages, which might
move them to cross the line and,
without orders, take possession of
Mexico City.

say whether we are too small for
the state as it is, or whether we
plead guilty of failure to govern
well so much territory and so
many people.-Florida Times-Un-
ion.-The latter is the case, broth
err, and you know it. SO please
quit propounding conundrums
and jump into the state division
band wagon.
