TWENTY five YEARS
OF Welded LIFE
Friends Are Invited to Celebrate I'm
Important Event i'm the Lives
of Prominent Audubon
Citizens

The delightful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Wagner was the scene of
one of the most elaborate social
functions of the season Friday even
ing March 23rd., when 1913 guests
assembled to join in celebrating the
occasion of their having reached the
twenty-fifth year of married life.
A smiling colored maid received
the guests at the door and ushered
them upstairs where another colored
maid relieved them of their wraps.
After everyone was comfortably seat
ed, Mrs. Rem Phelps announced the
number of a musical program which
had been arranged by Mrs CHI. Wilde
and Miss Maine Michels as follows:
Song, "Silver Threads Among the
Cold" song 81 will Love You When
Your Hair is Turned to Silver Gray.
This was followed by a burlesque
wedding march played by Mrs. Wilde,
in which the tunes of Mendlesohn's
Wedding march and "Therell be
Hot Time in The Old Town Tonight"
were amusingly blended. To the
strains of this wonderful wedding
march, the bridal party consisting of
the ring bearer, Dorothy Rucker, the
bride and groom Mr.. and Mrs. John
Wagner, and the attendants, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. S. Watts, together with the
afficial clergyman, n c. Barntson,
marched to the altar.
The bride wore a gown of soft
white with sweeping train. which was
carried by the two bridesmaids, who
were gowned in white, relieved by
pretty splashes of color. A full veil
of transparent material held by a
wreath of flowers added to the beauty
of the bridal costume which was
completed by cluster bouquet of
green and white. The matron of
honor was gowned in black and green,
with picture hat of black velvet.
The groom and best man wore the
usual conventional black. The digni-
fed person who led the party, and
who put the questions at the quaint
ceremony could scarcely be recogniz-
ed as the genial Neil Barenton.
The blushing bride and groom. Mr..
and Mrs. Wagner, were fully as
nervous as they were at the real
ceremony twenty-five years before.

After the ceremony "The Wedding
of Sunshine and The Roses" was
sung as a Duet by Mrs. Wilde and
Miss Michels. A duet was also sung
by Misses Goldie Sheets and Alice
Fiscus and solos by Miss Mary Rucker
and Miss Fiscus. This completed
most interesting and pleasing musical
program. all of whicf'.was fully in
keeping with the occasion.

S. B. MORRISSEY
new POSTMASTER
Appointment of Prominent Democrat
Comes a. Surprise to His Many
Friends Here and Else
where

S. b. Morrissey, for many years
chairman of the county democratic
organization has been appointed post
master of Audubon. The name of
Mr.. Morrissey was sent to Washing
ton last week and word from the de-
partment today is to the effect that
his commission for the office will
arrive in due time.
Mr.. Morrissey wac a candidate for
the appointment atsthe time r. G..
Spencer was the successful candidate,
and no thought of a change in the
Audubon postotfice was apparent
until about the 22nd of February
when two postotfice inspectors arrived
in the city. They remained here three
days and during that time made a
complete inve stigation. 1t is under
stood that after being questioned on
the 22nd, K. c. Spencer sent his
resignation to the department on the
23rd. At the time of the investiga-
ton there were many rumors afloat
but how much truth there was in
them is not definitely known.
The public at large knew nothing
of the resignation until Tuesday
morning when r. C. Spencer an
nounced that he had resigned as
postmaster.
Mr.. Morrissey is to be congratu-
lated on his appointment. He is as
capable a man as there is in the
county, to fill the position. and We
have no hesitancy IN predicting that
he will give the public the very best
service. He is widely known for his
fairmindedness and is highly regard
ed by persons interested in politics in
both political parties. He has always
been a democrat and at no time was
their a shadow of doubt as to mhere
he stood on the issues of any cam
paign. Mr.. Morrissey deserved the
from a political view
point. especially, and he is now busy
the hearty congratulations
of his frinnlS

to take effect on and after April
first. Dr. Fitch has purchased the
Foley barn on South Park and will

LADIES REALIZE GOOD SUM

The division of the Ladies Aid of
the Methodist church of which Mrs.
w. A Hudler is the chairman. gave
box supper in the DINING room of
the church last Friday evening. The
ladies brought many well filled boxes
which were sold at soc each. The
sale was literally patronized and a
neat sum was realized. There are
several divisions of the Aid, and each
one is pledged to raise a stipulated
amount of money. All of them have
been successful and none of them
have experienced any difficulty in rails
ing the required sum.

SNOW COVERED
MOST Of STATE
PART Of MONTH

The snow that covered the high ele-
vations OF the state at the close of
January diminished steadily until the
18th of the month when a general
storm, continuing internationally until
the 9Th lowered the snow line and ad-
ded materially to depths at highalti
tudes Warm weather and some rain
fall did much to remove the snow from
the foothills and lower elevations but
at the end of February more lay on the
ground than al the same time last year
and prospects for an abundant supply
OF water are bright
greater supply of wet, solid snow
covered the watershed of the Little
Colorado than usual. The altitude of
snow line on northerly slopes averaged
about $500 feet on southerly slopes,

Fort Valley reports an average depth
Of % inches in forested areas on the
San Frsncisco Peaks at 5000 feet and

elevation. North slopes above $500 feet
are entirely covered and south slopes
above 1900 feet. The forest ranger at
BY Station, who made extensive meas
urements on Chavez and Sunset noun
tains, reports rapid evaporation from
the 18th to the 25th, inclusive but
that above $500 feet the snow is still
deep and well packed.

CHLORIDE CERBAT
LOOKING BETTER

Much is heard locally Of the Chic
ride district in Mohave county. Sew
eraI of the big mines in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the town of Cerbat is
the Golconda Mining company and
the Cerbat Four Metals Mining COM
pany, and many others. The local
office of the Four Metals company
is enthusiastic about the showing
they are now making on the ground
The engagement reports a rich ore
shoot, fifteen feet wide, at a depth OF
1875 feet showing about S34 in zinc
and 81 gold per ton, besides good
silver and lead values. There is
already a large tonnage of good
milling ore on the dumps md in
sight
The company is composed mostly
Of Phoenix and Chloride men and fl
nancial arrangements are now being
made to install UP to date machin-
cry, when ore shipment viii begin.
'rhe property is composed Of four
mining claims and has virtually
passed the prospect stage as there
have been about 100000 of develoment
work done on the claims and con-
siderable hodies of ore have been
opened up. making it possible to
commence shipping ore at an early
I date.

VANADIlj|N CT.
ACQUIRES NEW
ORE HOLDINGS

Probably the most important devel-
opment in the activities of the United
States development company the past
week was in the requirement of two
thirds interest of the four claims com
prising the Chris Young group, imme-
diately adjoining the company's prop
critics near Kelvin. These claims, to-
gether with nine others, also acquired
wholly a few days ago, have been
found quite as rich in vanadium ore as
the original property. This means
according to the officers of the COM
pany that they now have or contrOi.
free of all incumbrance forty-tlVe OF
the richest vanadium claims on the
western hemisphere. 1t means, TOO,
that in case of war, the United States
DEVELOPMENT company would be in
position to supply all the vanadium
used by the government. NO greater
deposit Of vanadium, except perhaps
in Peru is known to exist anywhere in
the world than in this Arizona COM
paws holdings.
Superintendent Lowe reported Sat
urday that the Wine, cross cut and
urllts are all in high grade ore along
the lower tunnel level This lower tun-
mel connected by uprising with the
original Wine a week ago, and since
then there has been cross cutting and
drifting. 1t is also planned this week
to begin work upon a new Wine down
from the lower tunnel to whatever
depth seems practicable and to be de-
tei mined by the character of the de-
pogits encountered
Samples of the ore were shipped last
week to three different mills in the
east and middle west, for the purpose
of having mill tests made to determine
definitely just what class of mill is
best adapted to recover the greatest
percentage OF the vanadium. Upon the
determination of these tests a concen-
trating plant will be decided upon and
construction begun Immediately. With
in sixty or ninety days it is expected
that at least a 100-ton mill will be in
operation at the property. In the
meantime the company has decided to
have a limited amount of the ore con-
centrated at d small mill seemingly
adapted to handle the ore and which
was erected for the purpose of hand
ling ores similar to vanadium. This
win serve TO meet the demand being
made upon the company for Vanadiun
concentrates, d demand which despite
the fact the company has not yet
erected it's own mill and has given
notice it will not be prepared TO con-
centrate for a time yet, has been con-
stantly increasing.
