HUNT HOLDS
 FORT PENDING
 COURT RULING
Governor Declines to Turn Over Office to Campbell, Although US. and County Authorities Recognize the Latter in Official Matters

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Jan. 2.-Both sides in the governors contest are awaiting the decision of the supreme court on Thursday on the application of counsel for Governor Cambell for a writ of mandamus to compel Gov ernor Hunt to turn over his office and papers. Campbell, accompanied by counsel, called upon MT. Hunt, and after friendly greeting made a for nal demand for possession of the of flee. Mir. Hunt formally refused to surrender it until after action by the court on the writ of mandamus. Camp bell, in the meantime, is aawiting the decision, and from his residence is per forming such official duties as are brought to his attention. All mail ad- dressed to the office of the governor, unless addressed to Governor Hunt in person, is sent to Governor Campbell by the postal authorities.
 The county authorities, in their dealings with the governors office are recognizing Campbell.
 Various appoIntive officials whose resignations had been requested by Governor Hunt, have informed Gov ernor Campbell that their resignations will be forwarded only on his request. The inspection of the ballots was re- sumed today. This was preceded by a proposition by Eugene S. Ives, counsel for Governor Hunt to stop the inspec- tion at the point it had reached, each side to make up it's case on the dis coveries already made. Inasmuch as the ballots of the counties of Cochise and Gilla, where Governor Hunt had received heavy majorities, had not yet been inspected, counsel for Campbell rejected the proposition. The ballots of these two counties and Pinal were then taken up by the three inspection boards. The ballots from one precinct of Gila county, containing about 300 ballots, is missing, though it is in cluded in the official returns from that county. The Hunt inspectors claimed to have discovered Il clerical errors in the ballots gone over today. Camp bell inspectors deny that the days work has resulted in any material change.
 Hunt tonight issued a statement saying he is holding the office, not withstandig Campbell's certificate of eelction, because the inspection so far shows him to be in the lead.

RECORD RECORDING Is
 RECORDERS RECORD
First Few Days of 1917 Give Promise of Even Greater
 Increase This Year

The recorders office record for the year 1916 was one of phenomenal business, and the receipts were cor respondingly high, although the last few months fell off largely. For the month of December, 1914, the receipts were S192.5O; for the same month in 1915, S127O.S5, and in December, 1916, S718.55. November showed earnings of S505.7O.
 . The first few days of 1917 shows an immense rush of work in the office, and it is expected that this year will be a record one. The office has been one of the big paying institutions of the county and requires an efficient force, which Recorder Underwood has employed.

KINGMAN ?. ]. OUTGROWS ITS
 OLD QUARTERS
More Than 10000 Pieces of Mail Matter Handled Christmas Week - Rush Keeps Up-Receipts Show the City's Present Great Prosperity
Frpn rhursday,s Daily Mlnsrl


 During Christmas week Kingman postoffice handled more than 10000 pieces and parcels of mail, aside from magazines and newspapers, and kept the employees up and doing. At that time it was thought the limit had been reached, but since Christmas the flood of mail has continued to in crease to such an extent that it is inn possible to handle the circular and mail of lesser moment.
 As the postoffice receipts are the criterion of a towns prosperity King mans postoffice indicates that the town and surroundings are the most prosperous of any section of the state. That Kingman is growing and grow ing fast and that its people are pros porous may be noted on every hand. Buildings are going up everywhere and everybody has the buying fever. Lots that could be bought for few hundreds of dollars a year ago have gone into the thousands. Two lots on Beale street that were offered for about S30OO cannot now be bought for double that amount. And so fast has the business of the postoffice grown that it is necessary to build an addi- tion covering as much floor space as the original.

BIG UNITED EASTERN MILL
 BEGINS WORK
fFrom Friday,s paiIy Miner.l


 In the presence of officials, stock holders and a large number of visitors, the first ore was started through the United Eastern mill at g o'clock yes terday morning. As the machinery began to move the whistle of the big plant shrieked This was the official signal that the big mill was beginning the reduction of the vast body of high grade ore that is blocked out. With in the week the first bullion will be shipped.
 When the blasts of the whistle was herd in Oatman the interested popu- lace flOcked to the big plant to wit ness the start. The most interested man to be seen was Joe Parizo, the original locator and now large stock holder in the United Eastern.
 MT. Parizo located the property years ago and it looked for time as if it was a white elephant on his hands as no one seemed to want to take the chance to finance it's development. There is absolutely no surface show ing on the property and it had been supposed that to guarantee a reason able chance in this district that the surface must have a reasonable indi- cation of naturalization. It was not until George Long and Jack McIver came to Oatman that Mir. Parizo re- ceived any encouragement. Long and McIvor investigated the situation and became convinced that the great Tom Reed vein passed through the prop erty. After some difficulties they, with w. K. Ridenour, raised suffici- ent funds to sink the shaft to 800 feet.
 Worked in Shaft
 Long and McIvor worked in the shaft until the great ore body was en- countered. After this the "sledding" was good Capital was easy to ob- tain. Messrs. Keith, Mudd, Wiseman and others became interested and the financing of the mill and the full de velopment of the mine was carried out to perfection. When Long and Nc Ivor encountered the orebody Oatman was officially placed on the map and that was the signal for the entry of the outside investor to the Oatman field.
 Through all of this Messrs. Uarizo, Long and McIvor have carefully watched and waited for the event that took place yesterday. And they were not alone. Numerous local people pur- chased Eastern stock at 25c, and less, and they are holding for the great dividends that are bound to come.
 As the machinery commenced to re- volve yesterday and the ore poured into the crusher and then on the con veyor, which delivers it to large bin, the visitors cheered and congratulated Superintendent Burgess.
 Managers Retire
 Soon after the Wiseman interests financed the erection of the mill, Long and McIvor retired from the manage ment. Mir. Burgess was made super tendent and MT. North, superintendent of construction. Under the direction of these gentlemen the erection and development went ahead steadily and most satisfactorily to the stockholders.
 The starting of the mill was sched- uled for December 15, but owing to the nOn-arrival of cyanide it was de- layed until yesterday.

led Mrs. Frailey by four shots. with
a card of 106-12-94, was the victim
of an unfortunate circumstance due to
a misunderstanding OF the rules OF

ran into the edge of the rough, which
at this point is quite heavy, and her
caddie was unable to fnd the ball. In
stead of returning to the spot from
which she had played her first ball,
she dropped a second ball in the rough
where she thought the first ball should
have been, and played it. in opposition
to the rule which expressly states that
the second ball must be dropped on
the spot from which the first ball was
played. Miss Lacey withdrew from the
competition.
