MEXICANS CLEANUP
 AMERICAN MINERS
(From Sundays DaiIy.)

Bert Cartier and Alex Webster, miners who left this county a few years ago, going into Lower Cali fornia to work placer mines near San Andrcas. have reached San Diego, after passing through extreme hard ships of physical nature and being relieved of everything in money and property. They were for time with the Corona Mines Company, of which a brother of Mir. Cartier was super intcndcnt TLc property suspended over a year ago, not being able to meet the exactions demanded by the Mexican government, which imposed taxes on the bullion output of over 30 cents on the dollar.
 When Cartier reached a Mexican habitation, according to press reports, he and his companion had not a cent on their persons, and both were with out shoes and had only scant cloth ing. For five days they subsiStcd on jcrkcd beef and raw corn meal pro- vidcd by a Mexican woman acquaint- ance, who assisted them in reaching the border They were run onto by a scouting party of American sol diers out of Mcxicali, and they were first seen by an American aviator, who was flying over the country to make observations

ANOTHER COPPER COMPANY IS
 IN ACTION
EASTERN OPERATORS ES- TABLISH NEW CAM P NEAR HUMBOLDT AND START BIG WORK; FRED BOWLER IS ENGINEER.
(From Sundays Oaily)

Another new camp has been cstab- lishcd and is now in full operation near Humboldt, known as the Hum boldt Consolidated Copper Company, which is being financed by Eastern people, with Colonel Fred Bowler as resident engineer He returned yes terday from the camp, and stated dc velopmcnt had started, and plans made calling for sinking main shaft to a depth of at least 1000 feet.
 The property is virgin and is situ- atcd about one and onc-hali miles south of Humboldt, and adjoins on the northeast the Lone Pine. Those behind this movement arc closely as sociated. and no marketing of stock is to take place. Colonel Bowler states that surface showings arc indicative of extensive copper naturalization prevailing. and considering the cx- tent of exploration an attractive show ing Is being made.
 One advantage of this property is the close location of the works to the railroad, making communication to the smcltcr an easy and economical feature. Machinery iS to be installed later, and permanent operations arc planned

RUBBER STAMP
 MANDATORY IN VOTING
(From Sundays Daily)

Believing that the expenditure of about Sl33,00O on the State highway out of Prescott toward Phoenix should not be the last work done in connection with this enterprise, Sem ator N. H. Getchcll of this county has introduced a bill designating the loca- ton of the highway, and making 1t possible at some future date, to re- sume the job.
 Senator Getchelps bill orders that whenever funds become available, for the construction of the highway under the revised statutes of 1913, such funds shall be expended to complete the highway by way of Senator and the Silver mountains.
 Election Law Tinkering.
 It has been suspected since the election muddlc of 1916 came up and involved the State in lot of expense and worry, that something should be done to revise the laws relating to elections. That they need it, is gem orally conceded. So, the present ses- sion, has produced a deal of would be legislation. Governor Campbell recommended it, and many Demo- crats advised it.
 So, President Claridge has intro duccd two bills, one to amend the laws relative to elections and one to amend those relating to election con tests. The first is designed once and for all to throw out all ballots on which there is the slightest mark, not strictly pertinent to the expression of the voters choice. If folded in manner calculated to impart knowl- edge of the person voting it, it must be rejected.
 The same paragraph includes the instructions 10 voters, which are made to read moro strictly than the old ones, and includes the absolute order that all ballots shall be marked by means Of rubber stamp, bearing an "X," and not by means of a pen or pencil
 Senator Cartridges bill relating to contests designates the manner in which court commissions, charged with the work of accounting, shall be appointed, how they shall make their report. and how that report is to be received in evidence at the trial of the contest

SILVER BELT IN VALUES SAYS
 W.E.PA|GE
FOOTWALL MATTER HAS SOME NATIVE SILVER ACCORDING TO STATE MENT BY PRESIDENT TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.
(From Sundays Daily)

In his report to the stockholders o the Silver Belt Consolidated Mining Company, President w. F. Paige says:
 l Since the commencement of oper- ations on the 18th of October, 1916 there has been installed sufficient ma, chincry to meet all requirements to . sinking depth of 300 feet, together with the necessary tools, equipment etc
 Our camp buildings, consisting oi two hve-room houses, cook house dining room and necessary auxiliary buildings, have been completed and fully equipped, and are ample to ac- commodate force of men sufficient to handle all work on the property for some time to come, including quar- ters for enough men to operate a 50- ton mill
 To this moment a shaft has been sunk to depth of l25 feet, all tim bered and in good working condition, and we arc now preparing for the erection of our station set for the purpose of starting drifting and stop ing on our orc body.
 Good silver values have shown up in the shaft for the last 25 feet, and at this writing all of the foot-wall matter that is coming out is carrying high values, most of 1t showing na- tive silver. This is not in our orc body proper, as we are encountering good deal of difficulty in keeping the ore body out of the shaft on ac- count of water encountered, and at intervals the lode breaks through, causing considerable delay in retim- bering. I am safe, I believe. in saying that in the next 20 days the station set will be in, stump will have been finished to take care of the water, and drifting will have commenced, and beyond any question of doubt we will make our first ore shipment immedi- atcly thereafter
 At the present we arc short of tim Der to complete our shaft work; this shortage being caused by arrange mcnts being made with the owner of some 45,000 feet of lumber which the company has arranged to purchase at a very low rate, and as soon as that delivery is made we will then be in position to finish the surface work, which consists of building of orc bins, chutcs and platforms for the purpose of handling the orc economically and to best advantage. This work, how ever, will not necessarily cause any delay in our underground operations, as it can be completed by the time we cross-cut the mother lode.
 The conclusion which I have ar rived at regarding our property is not matter of gucsswork, but based upon experience gained in the mining industry of over ? years, on both of the American continents, and l fell that 1 am fully warranted in my state mcnt that this property is destined to be one Of the largest silver pro duccrs in Arizona, if not in the United States

adjourned in Division l of the Su- perior court of Maricopa county, the ballots in l0l precincts had been counted in the contest for the gov ernorship. This makes a total of H,137 ballots counted to date, out of which Hunts gain is 163 votes in completed precincts. The court is holding under advisement certain dis puted ballots in 3 precincts.
 In yesterdays inspection BOSS bal lots were counted in eight precincts in Maricopa county, five of which precincts were completed with the following results:
 In Mesa precinct No. 4, the result of the court count showed a loss of one vote for Hunt, whereupon his at torneyS immediately demanded a re- count, which was granted. The re- suit of the recount was g loss of one vote for Campbell.
 In Phoenix precinct No. s the court count checked out even with the of hcial count although Hunt had ex- pected to make a gain in this pre- cinct.
 In Fowler precinct Hunt gained two votes, and in Murphy precinct Campbell lost one vote on the count,
 In Phoenix precinct No. ? Hunt lost one vote and Campbell lost two on the count.
 In Gila Bend precinct four ballots were discovered marked on the back mot counted" One of these was for Campbell, two for Hunt and one was not voted. These ballots were laid aside for court ruling, in spite of the strenuous objection of Attorney Struckmeyer, who insisted that they be counted.
 In Mesa No. I and Phoenix No. ? precincts the court inspection showed one less ballot counted in each pre- cinct than the official count by the election boards, according to the of names on the poll books
 In Phoenix precinct No. 5 four less ballots appeared in the court count than the number of names on the poll book.
 During the course of an argument over a disputed ballot in yesterdays court proceedings, Attorney Struck meyer, counsel for Mir. Hunt, an- nounced that the ballot in question had not been counted by the election board, and that it would be proper to adopt a similar course in the present court count. Attorney Gust, counsel for Governor Campbell, immediately pointed out his inconsistency by stat ing that if Hunts attorneys were willing to abide by the action of the election boards, there would be no occasion for the present recount.

PATTERSON WINS MORE LAURELS AS HUNTER
(Fron Sundays Daily)

Ramsey Patterson again comes into the limclight by another feat in de- stroying the mountain lion, and the beast sets a high mark for size and weight.
 The carcass attracted comment when displayed yesterday. and was pronounced the biggest ever slain in this section. Its weight was N5 pounds and from tip to tip it was nine feet. It was killed a few days ago in the Hillside country, after a chase beginning a month ago.
 Patterson was offered $40 for the pelt yesterday, and after the killing is officially passed upon for the legal bounty, he will accept the offer. The age of this beast was computed at at least 20 years, and it had been mar auding the range country for eight years, being given the sobriquet by this hunter of ''U-23" 10 typify its sub- marine habit of getting out of sight when hotly pursued. It is estimated by rangemen of the Santa Maria country this lion had killed livestock aggregating in value S5,000, and dur ing the past two months Patterson has run onto 20 calves that had been its victims.
 The stockmcnS pool of Hillside will meet a payment for the destruc. ton of this animal of Sl50. and the total sum this hunter will receive is over S200. Last month Patterson killed mother lion and its four kit tens. for which he received a total in bounties of S450.

NUMBER OF DEER KILLED
 DROPS 46 PER CENT
(From Sundays Daily.)

ALBUQUERQUE, Feb. 24.-Thcrc were 574 deer, 597 turkeys, 25 bears, 2S wolves and 39 mountain lions killed by hunters in the Arizona na- tiOnal forests during the season just passed according to the district for cstcr's annual report on game condi- tionS submitted to the State game warden.
 The number of deer killed is 46 per cent less than in 1915, 5 per cent less than in 1914, and 24 per cent less than in l9l3.' says District Forester Rcdington. Tt IS safe to assume that the number of hunters has increased. These figures therefore indicate an alarming decrease in the supply Of deer. They speak for themselves as to the need for more game protective associations, prompt establishment of game refugees, better laws, and above all better law enforcement"
 The report shows that the number of predatory animals killed has also deceased This Is regarded by forest officers as an additional cause for alarm. The game, they say. cannot possibly hold up unless predatory animals arc kept down.
 Decrease iS especially notable in the case of blacktail deer. according to the report Forest officers from all over the State agree that the black tail is disappearing. Whitehall deer arc holding mp better. The report ad- vocates closed season on blacktail in all places where they arc getting SCarCC

STRINGENT RULES PUT IN EFFECT BY THE COR PORATION COMMISSION REGARDING THE ISSU- ANCE OF PERMITS.

PHOENIX, Feb. 24.-Determined that the issuance of permit to cor poration to sell stock shall be assur- standing of the directors and officers of the corporation offering the stock for sale the Arizona corporation com mission has drawn tight rein on the requirements before granting the per init Until recently the commission has been frequently requested to grant Ia permit almost immediately and in several cases the request has been granted.
 The commission recently adopted the rule that every application must be on file sufficient length of time for a complete investigation of the proposition and the character and standing of the men behind the prop osition.
 The ruling of the commission re- quires that each application for per init must be accompanied by a list of five references for the directors and officers of the corporation. Nor IS the commission satisfied with the mere filing of the references. Under the new ruling the commission com municates directly with the individuals given as references and inquiries as to the financial standing, reputation for integrity and business ability of the directors and officers of the cor poration making the application for the permit.
 "Thc stringent enforcement of the rules laid down by the Arizona cor poration commission IS for the great CT protection of the public said Com- missioner Amos A. Betts.
 "Thc commission does not endorse nor can it approve of the merits of the property owned or operated by any company securing a permit. But the commission Is using every en- dcavor to make the granting of per init to sell stock something of value to a legitimate concern and to pro tcct the public against manipulators.
 No application to sell stock will be isSued until thr commission has had ample time in which to make inquiries concerning the probity and standing of the officers of the company mak ing the application and has received satisfactory replies"

 Whipple Bill Killed.


 Whipple's senate bill against min ing company stores has been killed in his own house, despite his best ef- forts. There was agreement that that store conditions might not be of the best in the district best known to Whipplc, around Clifton, but even Mahoney, a working miner, opposed the bill as working hardship to min CTS elsewhere, who now may outfit and feed themselves before they work day on their entry of camp. Ma honey said the Tom Reed Company is about to start store at Oatman, to bring down the cost of living for their employees, while cooperative store is to be started by the New Cornelia Company at Ajo. Sutter told how he got his start in Bisbee through credit extended by the Cop per Queen store when he came to the camp with only 25 cents in his pock- cts and how the Calumet & Arizona, and Shattuck Companies, on petition of their miners, had authorized credits extended by Bisbee stores. Wilkinson possibly made the most effective remark on the bill in noting that no support for it had appeared from the working miners.
