GOVERNOR BILBO
DEFENDS GAME LAW.

have been unable to see WHY an,
white citizen in Mississippi could Cd
pose the new Game and Fish law un.
less such opposition was based upor
a misunderstanding as to what the
law really provides. Mississippi has
had fish and game laws for a number
OF years, but they were practically
dead letters" upon the statue books
since no machinery for their enforce
ment had ever been provided. A few
people have opposed this law, because
some politicians and newspapers have
said that you could not fish without
a license. This is absolutely untrue;
you can fish as much and as long as
you desire without a license. The
law only prohibits you from hunting
upon enclosed or cultivated lands. be-
longing to another, without permits
SIGN and a license. The SO paid for
license to hunt goes into the State
Treasury to be used for the educa-
ton of the boys and girls of Missis-
sippi. The expense of the Game
Warden is paid by those who violate
the law, since one-half of all fines
are retained by the County Warden,
and the other half goes into the
State Treasury to be used for edu-
cational purposes and to pay the SAL
airy of the State Game Warden. So.
in fact, the law is not costing the
people anything at all, but it does
protect the game of the state, and
am sure that every wise, intelligent
and patriotic citizen wants this done. !
The Game Law was passed in the
interest of the farmers of the state.
because it will eliminate about M /
or two hundred thousand worthless
negroes who spend half of their time
in the woods with a single-barrel
shot gun and dog destroying the
game of the state, and when the
goes out to hunt, the t%rifing
negro has already beaten him to II.
The man who lives in town and goes
occasionally to shoot and kill
finds, under this law, the amount that
he a kill is limited, and he. too.
pays a license that helps to educate
farmer boys and girls in Missis-
sippi. !.
If the people of Mississippi want
the game of the state protected, thew
should sustain the law in the Novem.
election. The law may not be
perfect, but if it is not, it car be
amended at the next session of the
legislature. but if you vote against
he law and cause it's defeat, you will
'et Mississippi back twenty-five years
n her progress and development.
taxi this occasion to urge every =,
and intelligent citizen to in !
orm himself upon this much misrep- !
'esented statute, and go to the polls y
m November 7th and vote for this I
plendid piece of legislation. be. :
leve that ! can depend upon the l
onest voters to do the square thing n
they know the facts. Give the y
aw a trial and if it does not prove a n
uccess, the legislature can repeal or N
mend it at their next session.
Yours for service, :
THEO. G. BILBO.

U. OF A. TO GET
 EXPERIMENT STATION
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

In the near future title to the Pres colt experiment station will be vested in the University of Arizona. Through the interest of five prominent Cham Der Of Commerce members, Messrs. R. \. Fredericks. w. A. Drake, NJ. B.. Hazeltine, F. w. Wells and James A. Hope. sufficient guarantee has been pledged so that the title may be changed and given to the university. Good results will accrue from this change, for the reason that the Uni versity of Arizona will expend con siderable money during the present year in constructing a new house for the superintendent, erecting silos and generally improving the experiment tract.
 Tie attention of the members was called to the fact that some effort should be made by the University of Arizona to spread the news of the work of this farm. either by issuing a pamphlet and spreading it broadcast or through correspondence. The farmers in Yavapai county should make it their business to visit this station often. view the work and learn from the experience of Mir. Bates as to the best crops to be raised in the various sections of the county.

VESUVIUS AGAIN IS
 COMING TO THE FRONT
(Erom Sundays OailYl


 Miners arriving from Placeritas bring news that McManon brothers, owners of the old Vesuvius gold mines, situated near Zonia, have a new vein of free gold bearing ore, Is inches in width that will run high, ii samples are any indication by which to judge.
 They resumed development at a point known as the east vein, and the strike is said to have been made at a depth of about 80 feet The origin al shaft on the Vesuvius was sunk many years ago to the 200-foot level, and its production ran into the thou sands, by arastra treatment and ship ping the grade that went as high as S70O to the ton. all free milling in character. h later years it went in- to a leasing proposition. and finally it was taken over by ,hc owners, pro ducing occasionally.
 McMahon brothers have confined themselves for the past few years to developing their copper holdings nearby. and have just finished ship ping five carloads of hign grade copper orc to Hayden smeltcrs. Here after, they state, they will devote their time to the Vesuvius, and soon will be ready to begin shipping.

THE WHITE SPAR
 GROUP DEAL IS CLOSED
(From Saturdays Daily)

Negotiations which had been pend ing for some time for the purchase oi the White Spar group of three pat ented mines, came to a definite con clusion yesterday, whereby Ed. Block of this city, sold the group to A. E. Moynahan, of Denver, for a large sum.
 This transaction is out of the or dinary in mining movements of late in this field, and is the first deal clos ed whereby an antimo1y bearing ore proved the inducement for an oper- ator to enter this field. MT. Moyna- han is prominently known in Colo rado, being the State mine inspector. He was attracted to the White Spar after learning of its mineral bearing construction, in whick antimony fig ured to such a heavy percentage that an examination of several days fully verified reports received at his office. He said: Tn Colorado we have many silver mines, but antimony is lacking in the product, hence came to Yav- apai to find what is needed"
 The White Spar in its early days of activity, dating back to over 30 years ago, mas a record among other old silver producers, in being shipper when packing and freighting was re- quired to Seligman, the nearest rail- -1aI -o;,. o,-a- IQa .,,;Iae J;e.,,. Ice antimony product was known, but was then valueless. The zones carry ing this mineral were abandoned. ac- cordingly, necessitating new explora- ton at heavy expense. Silver slump ing led to its abandonment, except at intervals in recent years, when an oc- casional leaser operated to disadvan- tage under heavy transportation charges in marketing the silver pro duct at a low valuation.
 A parallel mineral situation to de- velop in recent months, is the heavy demand for ores of this character that carry tungsten, and now the same sit nation arises in which ores carrying a combination of antimony and silver are equally in heavy demand as is Anthony and tungsten in fact are running neck-and-neck race in market quotations, with the former as a favorite.
 Mir. Moynahan returned to his camp yesterday to shape up the property for immediate operations. He in formed friends that he is very much pleased over acquiring the group, as well was he surprised that such an unusual mineralogical proposition should have remained idle so long, its antimonial product, which is very heavy. The White Spar is situated near the Hassayampa river, near the Climax mines, and close to the southeast end lines of Copper Easing district.

SHIFTING TIME TRANS
 FORMS OLD RANCH
(From Saturdays Daily)

Of the many mine undertakings in augurated in this county in recent months that particular one now un- der practical operation, situated in Thumb Butte district, within five miles of Prescott. in reviving what has been known for over a quarter of a century as the Clark & Adams hold ings, is attended with more interest than usually attaches to movements of this character.
 This property, embracing patent ed homestead area of 160 acres, is now in the hands of w. B. Tucker, Of Oklahoma; John Morrison, mining engineer of Colorado; A. O. Hyatt, of West Virginia, and F. H. Tucker, of Flagstaff With them are associated a few residents of Prescott, forming a strictly close association. The ak ing over of this mining ranch was closed a short time ago, under bond and leasing proposition. Develop ment has started and samples of ore in the city show an attractive copper property.
 Without going into a detailed de scription of this particular mine move ment, a retrospective situation arises without a parallel i1 the present re- lation of the property with that of the long ago. In the early '70s the tract was utilized solely as dairy ranch, then shifting under squatter's title to uses for grazing goats and cattle The acreage also is dotted with pits, showing that the charcoal burner had many ovens, and the ruins of an old arastra still remain. Messrs. Clark & Adams went into that field when they had sawmill to keep go- ing, and the dense growth of pine was the inducement for them to buy the tract of 16O acres over 30 years ago. The desirable timber was felled and the mill moved to new location in Groom Creek district. Title remained undisturbed in their hands. when pros pectors came in and performed limit ed development in recent years. The deepest shaft was only 20 feet, but the oxidized chalcopyrite ore condi- ton became manifest and attracted interest. Three years ago a leaser shipped two cars of ore to Douglas, with a margin of profit. Now new operators take up the work of deeper development. and if reports are credi- ble, results being obtained are indi- cative of Little Daisy" coming for Prescott to draw on.
