NIGHT SCHOOL FOR BUFFALO.

Buffalo is soon to have night
school. The school will open Monday
night, March 9th. 1t will be open
free to any person of any age. The
school is open for those who are hav-
ing to work in the mills and do not
have an opportunity to attend the day
school.
The school will be continued for
three months, namely, March, April
and May, running three nights in a
week. The night will be decided upon
at the opening of the school.
The course of study will also be
largely determined by the desires of
the pupils who apply for entrance.
Of course the subjects taught will be
reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling
and such other studies as may be de-
sired.
AS these three months are to be
the first attempt to run a night
school for the Buffalo people, the
success of the school these three
months will determine as to whether
the school board of Buffalo Graded
school will continue the school further
Therefore it is earnestly desired that
large enrolment be secured, and
that the good people of Buffalo use
every means to make this first ses-
sion q success

HALF MILLION FOR
NEW ESPEE BRIDGE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 27.-A new
steel bridge, costing half a million
dollars will be erected by the Arizona
Eastern to replace the bridge over
the Gila river at Sacaton carried out
by the recent floods The new struc-
ture, which will be about a mile in

caissons, sunk to bed rock, from los
to 1875 feet below the river bed. 1t is
estimated that it will take a year to
complete the new bridge Meanwhile
trains will be run over a temporary
wooden trestle
The old bridge which consisted of
SO 60-foot spans, was built five years
ago at cost of $225,OO0, and was
supported on steel caissons resting
on piling driven to bed rock. Steel
girders go feet long. and IL feet high
are now scattered over the bottom of
the river for over a mile below the
site Of the bridge, which is a total
wreck

that any person taking part or in
any way promoting a prize fight in
this state would be liable to two
years Imprisonment under the provi-
sions of the penal code New York

ACQUIRE YAVAPAI
TUNGSTEN PROPERTY

PRESCOTT, Ariz. Jan. 27-That
George Wingfield, the Nevada mining
millionaire, and Charles Schwab of the
Bethlehem Steel company are con-
templating the development of the vast
tungsten deposits in the Tiptop dis
trict is indicated by recent develop
ments in relation to properties along
Tule creek. Following a recent trip of
inspection, Wingfield's chief consult
ing engineer secured options on the
r. E. Gardner holdings along the creek,
and told him that he might consider
the property as good as sold. 1t is
stated on good authority that Schwab
is acting in conjunction with Wing
field, the latter to work the properties
on a silver basis, while the tungsten,
which is greatly in demand for the
manufacture of steel, will be shipped
to the Bethlehem plant for treatment.
Claims of the Tiptop- Heath mining
company, extending for five miles
along Tule creek, may also be included
in the deal.
The Silver Museum and Jack Swil-
ling properties, pioneer silver produc-
ers, have just been purchased by j. K
Mulkey, an eastern operator acting for
a large steel manufacturing concern.
Both of these properties are located in
the Tiptop district and contain i'm
mense tonnage of tungsten ore both on
the dump and in the underground
workings. 1.-THE Tiptop district is a
perfect maelstrom of tungsten, just
waiting to boil over" Mulkey declared
on his return from a recent inspection
of the property. A reduction plant will
be Installed as soon as possible and
operations begun on a large scale.

MAY SPLIT FEES

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. Reinsurance
agencies in Arizona may split commits
sions with competing agents without
violating the law, according to recent
decision of the corporation commission.
Complaint had been lodged with the
commission that the Maryland Cas-
ualty company had violated the law
through it's local agency refunding
seven and one-half per cent to a COM
peting agency which was unable to
handle this class of business. The at
torney general rendered an opinion
that the statutes do not prohibit Ii
censed agents from placing business
with other licensed agents, and the
case was dismissed.
