ATTORNEY GENERAL AGAINST PRIZE
 FIGHT
Attorney General of State Gives Opinion On Question to oatman Fight Fans.

Any lack of definiteness about Ari- zona's laws regarding pugilistic exhi-' bitions was ended yesterday when At torney General Wiley Jones construed the law for Governor Hunt, in order that the promoters of the Oatman dis trict might know. As a result, the bout between Jess Willard, heavy weight champion of the world, and Fulton, a pretender to the crown, pro- posed to be held at Oatman on July 4 next, is off
 Governor Hunt had the law looked into at the request of the ,Mohave Miner which, in behalf of the men who proposed to stage, the go, desired a real and understandable construc- tion of Arizona's laws.
 About three years ago, when Geo. Memsic and Herbert Gorcister were staging light and welterweight match es here, The Republican secured from the then county attorney, Frank H. Lyman, the statement that boxing machtes were being held at the risk of the promoters ande principals. AL | though the law at that time had not been interpreted very clearly, it was in MT. Lymanis mind that a house. holder might prosecute by means of a complaint of disturbing the peace. :; The result was that boxing matches were discontinued, and no public or even semipublic set-tos have occur red in Phoenix for long time. 1 MT. Jones' decision means that there is yet vitality in the old territorial law prohibiting, boxing matches, prize fights and the like

coroste;n Undertakes to Swim Stream and Establish communica- ton for the City of Phoenix.

PHOENIX, Jan. 25.-In desperate effort to restore wire communication across the Gila river, William Corp stein known as the best swimmer and diver in Arizona, has left to make an effort to swim the swollen stream and to carry a line across by which the wires may be drawn over.
 The work is being undertaken joint ly, It is stated by the Western Union Telegraph company and the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph com pany. The lines of both concerns across the Gila went down with the destruction of the bridge, and no boat can live for moment in the boiling floods.
 Corpstein volunteered to make the attempt and claimed, it is said, that the fcod had no terrors for him and that he would get line across if hu- man skill and strength couldaturn the trick
 He was famous for his high diving exploits when the pool at Riverside was full of vhter instead of sand and mud as at this time.

INCREASED GOLD OUTPUT IN 1915
Value of Production Nearly sss, ,ooo, ,ooo

In the joint statement given out by the United States Geological Survey and the Bureau of the Mint the value of new gold added to the home SUD- ply from mills and smelters operating on domestic ores (including those of Alaska, the Philippines, and Porto Rico) in 1915 was $9S,S91, 100. This shows the substantial increase of $4,- 359, 300 over the output of $94, ,531,- ; 800 in 1914, and was within $7S2,300 of the record production of S99, ,673, 400 in 1909.
 The gold mining industry was gener ally prosperous again in 1915, accord ling. to figures compiled by H. D. Me Caskey, of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, from preliminary reports received from the mines. Estimates made from these figures, which repre- sent ores sold or treated during the year, as distinguished from the out put was even higher, and that it approached, if it did not actually pass the $1OO,0OO,OOO mark; but some of the cle and concentrates produced from the mines and mills can not be smelted until 1916, and the refined gold did not become available for consumption in 1915.
 An increase in the yield of gold is indicated by the mine returns from every important gold mining State and a decrease is reported only from Washington, while the output of Idaho remains the same. The prin- increases were reported from Oregon, South Dakota and Arizona.

if he did anything or countenanced any action which would be to the de- triment of organized labor. Mr. Meyers stated that ne had canvassed every phase of the situation, had con- ferred with all of the leaders of the movement and concluded:
 q speak from an honest heart when l recommend to you the adop- tion of this proposition without any changes under the present conditions 1 add my voice to that of my colleague in urging upon you it's acceptance. It is for the best interests for yourselves and all concerned .'
 resolution was then introduced favoring return to work under the proposition as submitted. A number of men wanted more time to study the proposition and to consult with the employees at Morenci and Met calf. The executive committee thought it best to vote on the mo- tion immediately and upon a vote be- ing taken the resolution was defeated by majority of twenty weight votes Immediately following the announce ment of the vote it was decided to hold another meeting at union head quarters on Monday night At which meeting the Clifton employees voted unanimously to accept the proposition of the managers.
 Messrs. Davies and Myers went to Metcalf Monday morning at ten o'clock where mass meeting was held and the proposition from the managers outlined to the employees in that camp. Without much loss of time following the talk of Messrs Davies and Meyers the men voted unanimously to return to work. ] This was followed by similar ac- tion on the part of the Morenci men at two o'clock Monday afternoon and ! at Clifton at seven o'clock in the evening. By a vote of the strikers the long struggle was at an end. !! At Morenci on Monday MT. Donelly advised the men to return to work and also stated that he was just in receipt of telephone message from Brother Powell recommending that the men accept the proposition from the managers.
 Everybody Happy.

At the conclusion of the mass meeting in Morenci the old skating rink rang with the cheers of the men as they | jumped to their feet and waved their hats in the air. When the whistle On Shannon Hill called the I$en back to work Wednesday morning the men gathered andiundlged in an impromptu celebration.
 Business men have been keeping the wires hot since Wednesday or dering supplies and tre camps in the district are again presenting their usual spectacle of activity and in dustry.

WHITEWASH THAT WILL LAST
Formula for Making Covering Used
by Government on Lighthouses
Maintained Along Coast.

To make the whitewash which has
been used for more than ten years in
the White House at Washington and
on the lighthouses maintained by the
government along the coasts, take
half bushel Of unslaked lime and Stake
it with boiling water. Cover during
the process to keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through fine sieve
or strainer and add to it peck Of
salt, which previously has been dis
solved in warm water; 3 pounds of
ground rice boiled to a thin paste and
stirred in while hot; n pound Span
ish whiting; and l pound of glue pre-
viously dissolved by soaking in water
and then hanging over hot water. This
is best accomplished by putting in a
small pail and hanging In larger one
filed with water. Add gallons Of hot
water to the mixture, stir well, and let
stand a few days covered. 1t should
be applied hot, for which purpose 1t
can be kept in a portable furnace.

MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Quality That RECON-
mends the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sired-6arred Where Egg Pro-
ductlon 10 Chief Item.

Cry PROF. II L. KEMPsTER, Missouri
College OF Agriculture.) q
The Light Brahma is the oldest and
perhaps the best-known and most pop
ular of the feather-legged chickens.
Size Is the quality that recommends
the Light Brahma. Where large and
slowly maturing fowls are desired, the
Light Brahma has no superior, but the
slowness of maturity is very objection
able in the pullets, which, together
with the fact that they are not very
heavy layers when matured, practi-
cally bars this breed where egg pro-
duction Is the chief item.
There is no other breed of fowls that
has the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahma. These fowls are close
feathered like the Langshans, but are
larger and not so long-legged. They
are not as heavily feathered as the
Cochins. They are very graceful In
appearance and carry themselves in a
stately manner. The back on both
male and female is very long and
broad. There should be a slight rise
of the back with a broad sweep at the
base Of the tail. The birds should be
erect and well placed on their legs.
Abundant toe feathers is also very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard Of
Perfection as a guide, the following
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications Of the Light Brahma
fowls, when being judged according
to the Standard Of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cocks
over three pounds, cockerels over two
and half pounds, hens and pullets
over two pounds less than standard
weight. Vulture hooks also disqualify.

INSIST ON FREQUENT CHANGE
Winter Asserts Women Are to Blame
for the Variations Of Styles
In Clothes.

Women want something new to wear
every few months. The absolute
truth Of this statement is what puts
the world Of women against reformers.
II Is easy to read and write reams Of
theories as to why women should not
indulge In the caprice of new
clothes; and. with delightful ingenious
ness, these dress reformers put the
blame on the style-makers and shops,
ignoring the fundamental truth that
the blame should be placed on the
women.
Those who are sincere and those
who are insincere but want to be
heard crying aloud in the market
places. do not go far enough into the
clothes question when pleading for
dress reform.
What normal woman would want to
be robbed of her privilege of seeing
new clothes and buying them when
ever 1t Is possible? What healthy
minded woman would want to go
through life wearing the same gown,
cut on the same lines and preserved,
or copied, from season to season?
Mary Garden, the opera singer. nm
swered this whole question once in an
interview on the deck of steamer,
when she was sailing for Paris. 1t
was at the height of the great hubbub
concerning the question of American
clothes only.
The reporter called up from the
gangplank. "When. In your opinion,
will American women wear American
clothes only and show their patriot
| ism?"
"When they're dead" she called out
over the rail. 'They can't protest
against an American shroud."-Ex-

DAIRYNOITy

To produce good milk, cows must be
comfortable.
Calf raising is an important part Of
the dairyman's business.
Cleanliness and carefulness are the
keystone In successful dairying.
The dairy barn should be roomy,
clean, dry, light and well ventilated.
While feed IS an important factor
in successful dairying 1t Is not the only
thing.
Cannot expect calves to be better
than their sire-that is why we need
the best.
Always handle cows carefully. The
COW will more than repay any kindness
shown her.
Y After the calf is six weeks old there
is little danger of 1t getting indiges-
ton or scours.
1t may save time to drive the cows
to the barn at trot, but 1t Is a poor
and ill-timed economy.
Keeping the calves separate also
prevents the calves from sucking each
ether. a disagreeable habit.
Keep the calves separate for the
FIRST two months so that II anything
goes wrong with them 1t Will be imme-
diately detected
