CUPID REMEMBERS;
 ROMANCE IS SEALED

The brief announcement that he had been married on February 18th, at Missoula, Montana, was the only in formation which George V. Whitaker gave to close friend at Mayer, of leaping into the benedict class. It was learned, however, that the TO- nance had existed several months before Cupid sealed the happy pair.
 The girl had brother who was badly injured in a mine accident at Mogollon, New Mexico, and Whit takers prompt appearance on the scene probably saved his life. Whit taker drifted to different camps final " coming to this section where he worked for over year. Loves wire less was working tremendously all the time, and when the pair met at the home of the miner who had been in jured in New Mexico. the knot was adjusted and happily tied.

CLASSIFICATION OF
 COUNTIES IS PUZZLE

PHOENIX, Feb. 22.-The senate has tackled the reclassihcation bill. admittedly the hardest nut for the session to crack, excepting only the appropriation bill. There seems gen eral admission that it cannot take ef- feet till the end of the terms of the present officials. In the meantime. return must be made to the old salary and the standard, the 1912 measure having been declared unconstitutional by the State Supreme court, for 1t arbitrarily had established IA divis- ions, one for each county, this con stituting special legislation. It was appreciated that the task was one not to be entered upon lightly. So the matter of county salaries was turned over to a special committee of four. to be taken from the several divisions, this committee to report to special committee of three, that should con- stitute a sort of board of arbitration. Much trouble is expected over ad- justments, as Claridge, of Graham, insists that a woman could make a good sheriff for his county and that S2,OOO is plenty for the job, while Ferguson vehemently declared that Santa Cruz ought to have S3,OOO man in the place.
 After side-stepping the county sal aries, the senate looked bit into the State officers salaries. There was agreement that the governors salary of S4.OOO IS too little. Hall moved a raise to $500. Claridge amended to S5,O00, and Campbell to So,OOO, at which figure the whole committee left it. Sutter's motion for raise Of the attorney-general from S2,5OO to S4,OOO carried, though with an under standing that the officer should devote all his time to the duties of the place.
 There was much discussion over the salaries of the State Supreme judges, who now receive S5,OOO. Ru- therford, who admitted his own legal income never got as low as S5,OOO, moved raise to &,500, as an attrac- ton to attorneys of standing.
 The counties are divided into four classes: First, thse having an assess ed valuation of S50,000,000 and over; second, from Sl5,OOOOOO to S50,O00,- GOO: third, from S8,000,000 to Sl5,000,- GOO; fourth, from S1,0OOOOO to SS,- 000,000. Provision is also made for an automatic raise whenever the as sessed valuation shall lap over the upper figure.
 Tn the first class are included Mari copa, Cochise, Yavapai and Gila; sec ond class, Pima, Greenlee, Coconino, Mohave and Pinal; third class, Gra- ham, Navajo, Santa Cruz and Yuma; fourth class, Apache.
 The salaries that shall be paid the officers in the first class counties are listed below:
 Clerk of Superior court. S27O0. Sheriff, S4,0OO. Recorder, S3,OO0. Treas urer and tax collector. S3.600. Coun- ty attorney. $500. Assessor, S3.0OO. Superintendent of schools, $2.4OO. Chairman of board of supervisors, $2,40O Supervisors, Sl,5OO. Engin- ecr. S3,000.
 Winsor'S anti-lobbying bill went down in the senate by vote of II to s, after the bricfest of debate after it had reached the third reading stage. The radical support was not suffi- cient

MACHINERY IS INSTALLED AT
 VENTURE HILL
SINKING DOUBLE COM APARTMENT SHAFT WILL BE PUSHED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE; OUTLOOK IS
 GOOD FOR HITTING ORE

JEROME, Feb. 2G-The Venture Hill camp is scene Of much activity. All through the stormy weather, the work has been progressing steadily under the management of E. l.. Bar tholomew. Despite the muddy roads, the new 60-horse power horizontal Foos oil-burning engine and the new 25-horse power hoist have been freighted to the mine and are now in operation and the Sullivan compress sor is now being placed on its foun- dalton. All of this machinery IS be- ing housed in a substantial building. A boarding house, bunk house and other buildings have been erected. A concrete dam has been built and water is piped to the camp by gravity.
 A substantial head frame B feet in heighth has been constructed. Min CTS are now engaged in sinking a double-compartment shaft, being down now about 75 feet. If neces- sary, it is the intention to sink 1000 feet or more although the company has the written opinion of Geologist Dr. Walter Harvey Weed. who after a most careful examination of the six properties of the company, expressed the opinion that there exists a strong probability that in sinking this shaft ore in commercial quantities will be uncovered at depth of from 500 to 700 feet. This opinion is largely re- inforced by the fact that in the devel- opment of the tunnel, (this being 575 feet in length), numerous stringers of native copper, also both copper and sulphide ore, were quite frequently encountered: at the head of this tun- nel where it adjoins the Verde Apex property, there was uncovered wall of sulphide orc averaging two feet in thickness. In the shaft that is now being sunk. the ground is highly min eralized with iron, which in the Je- rome district, is considered a most favorable indication of the near proS- inlity of copper As soon as condi- tions warrant and the machinery is all in place and working satisfactorily, it is the intention of the company to push the work of sinking this double compartment shaft by the use of three shifts.

TWO TENDERFOOT
 -st' DICKS START SURMISING
(Erem Thursdays Daily.)

Will Martin Leskousky pay the ex- treme penalty of the law?
 Will the strapping miner, who twice escaped the county jail at Mauch Chunk, Carbon county, Penn, reach there in safety with his two guards?
 The question agitated the sheriff s office all day yesterday, following the early morning departure for Phoenix of District Attorney C. c. Setzer and County Detective Dan Thomas. The consensus of opinion among the Yavapai peace officers was that if the officers get Leskousky back to Mauch Chunk, it will be the result of more luck than sense.
 Martin has nothinp to lose and everything to gain ii he again es- capes. He is going to sure death in the electric chair in the Pennsylvania State penitentiary He has twice tricked the law and has lived nine years a free man since his judge told him that it was the laws intention that his life should pay for that of Mary Yanatchik, whom he murdered. Once recaptured in Butte, Montana, and once in Jerome, he may yet live to elude his captors.
 Neither Setzer nor Thomas i'm pressed local officers as being men of any great substance among man. hunters. Their preparations to safe guard Leskousky on the long journey back to Pennsylvania did not listen good to the Yavapai officers.
 A&.Iz- So.laI .A 1,r+ ta Pennsylvania officers in the estima- ton of the jailor here was their arma- ment. As they entered the jail to in- terview Leskousky, they made no move to hand over their guns Gan in- variable custom of well regulated jails, to prevent the carrying in of firearms to the presence of prison CTS, even in possession of officers of the law). Under Sheriff Robinson asked them to leave their weapons on the outside. Setzer produced a g. calibre Smith & Wesson, UNLOAD EDi Thomas packed a 32-calibre automatic.
 Leaving Phoenix this morning, the officers intend to convoy their hardy prisoner straight through to New Orleans without stop, and from that city to Mauch Chunk, also without stop. This means that they will have to remain awake, guarding Leskou- sky constantly. He, on the other hand, can sleep the sleep of the just -just as he was sleeping quietly in the jail, when the officers came for him. It means that if their tired nerves relax. and Leskousky calcu- lates the chances even inhnitesmally in his favor, another break for liberty will probably be recorded to the credit of this remarkable man.

WASHINGTON IS YET THE POLE STAR OF OUR |NTERP0WER
 RELATIONS
Press Correspondence.


 PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. D. George Washington, after a century and a quarter still remains the pole star of American foreign policy. de- clared Jacob Gould Schurman, presi- dent of Cornell university, today in an address before the University of Pennsylvania, which suspended its regular academic functions for exer- else in celebration of Washington s birthday.
 Dr. Schurman recalled how Wash ington attended commencement at the University of Pennsylvania in May. l7I5-then known as the College of Philadelphia-in company with the other members of the Second Con- tinental congress. Toward the con- clusion of his address, pr. Schurman, after having discussed Washington pre-eminence as soldier and states man, his Americanism and his insist ence on American rights, said:
 How inspiring IS the example of Washington to Americans today Once more a great European power menaces our rights. We are forbid den to sail our ships or to travel where we will on the high seas under penalty of being sunk without warm ing by submarines. The German gov ernmcnt draws lines across the ocean, which is free to all, and says to Am erica: Thus for shalt thou come but no farther Now we recognize the restrictions of legitimate block ade and the penalties of carrying con- traband; these are fixed by the law of nations. But apart from these limitations American ships and Amer ican passengers have right to go where they will on all the seven seas.
 Are these any who weakly advise us to forego our rights in deference to the German challenge? Would Germany, l ask, forego her rights ii in her place America without any warrant of law had set aside a vast tract of ocean for ruinous dcpreda- tions on the commerce of neutrals and ruthless attack on the lives of nontcombatants1 Could any great nation survive; ought any great nation to survive. which cravenly yields its rights at the summons of the aggrcs- sor?. The same law which guarantees our rights to territorial waters au- thorizcs us to sail freely on the high ecas. If belligerents are permitted to exclude us from the oceans, why should they not also appropriate our territorial waters--or even march their armies across our frontiers? The surrender of one national right weak ems and imperils every other. Come what may our nation must defend its rights. And with united hearts and rcsolute determination the American people stand behind President Will ron; and they will not tolerate either the paralysis of American shipping or the murder of American citizens"
 There is a third feature of Wash ington's statcsmanship which is cs- pecially instructive at the present time" Dr. Schurman also pointed out. T mean his advocacy of military preparedness and his general attitude to the questions of peace and war"

EASTERN PEOPLE TAKE
 OVER THE IRON KING
CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

NTIOul Odlul udN DdiiN3
 An option deal which was closed yesterday made 1t probable that the Iron King group of mines owned by the American Copper and Gold Com pany, will soon pass into hands that will revive this early-day holding. The transaction was closed by s. R. Tren- gove, a we'll known consulting en- gineer, who was formerly superin- tendent of the Blue Bell of the Con- solidated Arizona Smelling Co.,, and later general manager of the Ameri- can at Iron King.
 Those who are representing East ern capital in this important deal are James E. Baker and George L. Gros- vcnor, both of whom are in the city.
 What plan of operating is to be car ried out was not given publicity, but it is believed that the main working base will be to the south of original shafts, where indications are pro- nounced excellent for solving another big proposition. The incoming own CTS have a decidedly attractive out look for operating on an economical basis, all necessary machinery for large development being on the ground, and accommodations for a big force ready. Other advantages are that the Humboldt shelter is dis tant less than one mile, while the railroad passes through the heart of the big group.
 Deep development of the Iron King has every indication of determining onothcr PIte PpI1 Is the belief of many practical miners who are con- vcrsant with mincralogical conditions prevailing in both. considering the depth reached on the Iron King when it suspended many years ago.

notes on paper regarding times for
cooking dishes that can be cooked
at the same time will save much

the oven in good time, but not hours
before IL is needed.
Have at hand plenty of dry, clean
tea and kitchen cloths. and all wash
ing-up tools. Put dirty cutlery and
plates into a jug of hot soda water;
hll used pans with hot water to rem
der them more easily cleaned, and
pack plates into a plate basket. or
even box, in order TO leave the table
and dresser free.
Make a rule that food is always put
into the lardcr on clean plates and
there will be less sour food. These
little details may sound trivial but
attention to them means just all the
difference between a well and badly

Long Gloves Back
For Afternoon Wear

After being held in abeyance for sew
eTal seasons. the long, white kid glove
is back in favor. This is due TO the
vogue of short sleeves for afternoon
frocks.
1t is all right. II one wishes, TO go
goveless at the opera or other even
ing affairs of a strictly formal char
acter. but there is an unfinished look
about the short-sleeve dress for day
wear. therefore the adoption OF the
long, wrinkled glove.
1t seems an irony of fate that fash
ion should dictate the use of an ac-
cessory never reckoned among the
inexpensive trifles of the wardrobe.
and whose cost at this time has ad-
vanced very considerably.
Moreover, it is fairly certain that
the wearing of long gloves during the
day will inevitably lead to their re-
vival for evening occasions, so 1t be-
hooves the wise woman TO lay in a
supply before the demand exceeds the
somewhat limited stock left over,
mainly from gloveless seasons.
