l''' s'9' School

The school year is drawing to a
close, this week ending the eighth
month. The class to be graduated
this year. perhaps the largest in the
history of the school, numbers sixteen,
twelve girls and four boys. The com.
mencement exercises will be held on
Wednesday evening, June 9th and
Dean Squires. of the College of Lib
eral Arts of our University at Grand
Forks, will deliver the address.
While there has been no increase
in enrolment in our high school the
past few years, there has been a
marked increase in the upper classes.
Last year more than half the pupils
in the four upper classes were in the
9th grade; this year less than one
third are in the 9th grade. This
years graduating classynumbers six.
teen, while there will be q class of
twenty-five to be graduated next year.
Another feature worthy of note is the
decrease in the number of retarded
pupils. This decrease is especially
noticeable in the upper classes. The
normal child entering school at the
age of six should enter the 18th grade
at eighteen. The average age of the
graduating class this year is above
eighteen, which shows some retarda.
tion; the age for the class of 1919 is
only slightly above eighteen while
that of the class for 1920 will be be-
low eighteen. Again the number of
boys that drop out before the close of
the school year is rapidly Decreasing.
1t has decreased more than 200 per
cent in the past two years.
The annual high school county fair
will be put on Friday afternoon and
evening of this week. There will be
a big patriotic parade during the af.
ternoon and the fair proper will be
held in the high school "Gym" in the
evening. 1t is planned to make this
event in keeping with the times.
Proceeds are for the benefit of the
track team. The support of all is
solicited. Come and have a good
time.
The high school play. "The Reju-
venation of Aunt Mary" will. be

The final obsequies over what re- mains of the Inflated Arizona Life In- surance company, will take place with in a few days. R. William Kramer assistant attorney general. in an effort to clear up the records of the superior court. and leave no loose ends on the dOrket yesterday filed with Judge Stanford a petition to show cause. why the residue of the affairs of the com pany should not be disposed of. The judge will probably grant the petition and the last of the insurance company will pass into history.
 The Arizona Life Insurance cOmnany had q rather meteoric career. There are good many purses in Phoenix and vicinity which still visibly show dent caused by the disastrous plunge of the company. into the pools of high finance. The corporation commission took the first step which sent the company on the rocks. when, after an investigation 1t was foun dthat insolvency was the most prominent feature of its makeup. The coupanv's permit to do business was revoked. and another company finally reinsured it's risks

ARCHITECT FUR
 MINES BUILDING
 |S NOW NAMED

Completion of plans for the immedi- ate erection of the new mining and engineering building at the University of Arizona was the chief business transa cted by the board of regents of the university at it's first 1917 meeting at Tucson. The new structure will cost $l50,000, while $25,050 will be ex- pended in equipment
 The board entered into a contract with Architect John R. Lyman, Jr.. who entered the lowest bid in a field of IT competitors to draw plans immediately for the new structure. It was also de- cided to employ MT. Lyman as super intendent of construction of the build ing.
 of the total cost of construction $75,- 900 was appropriated by the last legis- lature and is now available. The re- maining s75,000 was contributed by the producing mines of the state. The $25.- 900 for fixtures and equipment was also contributed by the mining companies.
 The building will be located north of the old main hall and will contribute to an ideal setting as complement to other structures in the group. especially the new agricultural building, which was completed and opened about year ago. All work will be done by day labor
 The board also took action on many other matters of a routine nature.

WIDOW OF PIONEER
 VISITOR IN PHOENIX

Representative G. L. Coffee and wife are delighted to have as guest MT. Coffe's aunt, Mrs. Glenn Reynolds, who after a week spent in Globe, is passing through to California, to visit at Eagle Rock, near Los Angeles, an old Gila county friends, Mrs. Harry Duey, for mer resident of the district now GOV cred by the Roosevelt reservoir. Mrs. Reynolds especially is distinguished in the eyes of local pioneers as the widow of Sheriff Glenn Reynolds of Gila county.
 One of the most dreadful crimes of the southwest was that. in 1890, in which Reynolds and Deputy Holmes were murdered by the Apache Kid and other Apache prisoners with whom they had started from Globe for the penitentiary, then at Yuma. The of ficers were slain on the Florence road, short distance from the present rail road station of Kelvin. The driver of the stage in which the trip was being made was Eugene Middleton, now prominent resident of Globe. He es- capped only by feigning death after fall ing from his seat with a serious wound 1 through the body.

|M0RENC| MINES
 BURN IN SPITE
 IF ALL EFFORT

Damage which will run into the thousands has been done by fire in the Clay and Copper Mountain mine shafts at Morenci by fire which has been rag ing since September and is still in pro- gress, states a Morenci visitor to Phoe- nix. All known methods of combating the flames have been exhausted with out success of the slightest degree h. cendiariSm is suspected in both in stances.
 The fire in the Clay mine of the Ar izona Copper group, broke out in the early part of September Fortunately all employees escaped without injury. Within a few days. a similar blaze was also discovered in the Copper Mountain mine of the Detroit Copper group.
 Systematized efforts were immed- lately started to Quench the flames. but in both instances the blaZes con- tinued to gain headway Finally a de- cision was reached to divert the course of the Eagle creek into the two mines in the hopes of eXtinguishin the flames Even this method plt ed q failure, however.
 According to word reaching I oenix yesterday the mine managers have practically determined to let the lame eat themselves out. Thousands tf gall Ions of water have been poure, .ltc the shafts hourly for the past several weeks without effect
 While the loss will run into the thousands. the managers are una. ole to rive any estimate as to the da mage. It is believed, however, that ever. thing of a destructihle rature will be con- sumed by the flames.

 THIRTEEN GUNS
 ALONG BORDER

A military tribute was paid Gov ernor Thomas E.. Campbell by rnem- bers of the regular army, stationed at Nogales, Wednesday morning. A salute of 13 guns was fired as the train conveying the governors party from Tucson to Nogales pulled into the station
 Governor Campbell spent Wednes : day at Nogales for the purpose of attending the dedication of the new bridge over the Santa Cruz river The ceremonies were exceedingly fit ting for the dedication, according to the chief executive.
 Despite unfavorable weather con- ditions, more than 1000 citizens of Santa Cruz county were present at the dedication services. intermittent showers fell throughout the after noon, but the rain drops did not tend to dampen the ceremonies. The chief executive delivered his address from the center of the bridge.
 A military band from the border troops furnished appropriate music throughout the afternoon.
 The bridge over the Santa Cruz river near Nogales vas recently com pleted at a cost of $37, ,000. This was l in excess of the first estimate, which ] placed the cost of construction at 1 S25.eOo. As a result. the remaining $12.000 was appropriated by the county. It is of the concrete -girder type.
 Governor Campbell reports condi- | tions along the border much better now than for tho past several months. | Intercourse with Mexico has been re- sumed to almost normal conditions. and at the present time the Southern l Pacific de Mexico is running three trains weekly to Guaymas Trains leave Nogales Tuesdays, Thursday- and Saturdays, arriving from Quay mas Mondays.

MANDAMUS |S
 ASKED AGAINST
 STATE $ BOARD
Cochise County People Say
 They Are Being Unjustly
 Deprived of Rights to Grazing Lands in County

Mandamus proceedings against the state land department and the state land commissioner were instituted in the superior court yesterday. the peti
 tioners being homesteaders of Cochise county who charge that the defendants refuse to approve their applications for a lease of land for grazing purposes. The plaintiffs contend that the refusal is arbitrary and unreasonable and an abuse of the discretionary powers of the department and the commission.
 In the complaints filed by Armstrong and Lewis, it is alleged that the plain tiffs have been informed that the de- partment and commissioner are about to lease the lands to others than the plaintiffs, whose rights are inferior to their own, and they ask that the de- fendants be commanded to approve the applications and to stay all proceedings in the matter. Judge Lyman issued
 an alternative writ and set the hear
 ing for February 26. when the defend | ants will show cause why it should not
 be made peremptory.
 The petitioners are Lee F.. Caldwell, Robert Caldwell, Minnie Caldwell. T. NJ. Caldwell and Annie Caldwell There is little difference in the complaints. l According to that in which Lee F. Caldwell is the plaintiff. on December
 29 1915, the state land department se- | lected all of section 15, in township 21 l south. range, 3l east. of c. R. E. X M ! in Cochise county for military insti- | tutes under the provisions of the en-

RUSSIAN ASKS
 ARIZONA FACTS.
 AND GAME JAW

That Arizona is one of the most widely known states in America is demonstrated by postal card received at the game warden department at the state house yesterday. The message also indicates that the state has rep utation for doing things progressively.
 From faraway kharkow, Russia, came a request for copy of the Ari- zona game laws, a copy of the war den's annual report and copy of the bird day annual, published by Game Warden G. M. Willard last year, as we'll as request for such other liter ature as bears on game protection, which the department has handy. The postal card, sent by Boris Zakharoff, was mailed at kharkow, December 12 and bears marks of having passed through the customary channels before leaving the country. Several censor stamps were affixed.
 The one puzzling incident in connec- ton with receipt of the card, which attaches at the game department are still unable to solve, is how the sender acquainted himself with the various booklets issued by the local game de- partment. For instance, the bird day annual is booklet peculiar to the state of Arizona. It is the general be- lief that Mir. Zakharoff must have seen one of the little pamphlets issued by Game Warden Willard and being i'm pressed with it, made inquiry for one together with other literature pertain ing to game protection.
 The card was written in English and in French, indicating that the sender was we'll educated.
