Bootlegger Caught.

j. T. Martin, we'll known as
, Badly Martin, said to be the big
chief among the bootleggers, was ar
rested last week by Yavapai county
officers. At the time of his arrest
Martin had five dozen quarts of
whiskey in his possession.
For the past few months Martin
has run the blockade at Parker,
Ehrenberg and Needles, and the Off
GERS at these places have been con-
stantly on his trail, but he was al
ways fortunate in eIuding them.
He drove a fast car, and it was his
practice to cross the Colorado river
after dark, and then step on the
the throttle until he made his des-
tination, which was generally Pres
colt.
Every bootlegger has his day, but
some day he is bound to get nabbed.

PHOENIX, May 3.-Thomas E.
Campbell was declared governor of
the state of Arizona in a decis-
ion handed down by Judge Stanford
in the superior court Wednesday af-
ternoon after contest that has last
ed almost five months Basing his
decision on what he believed to be
the will of the people, Judge Stan
ford vacated his order for throwing
out the entire precinct of Douglas
No. 1 and Snowflake, relegating only
the 43 ballots which bore unmistak-
able signs Of erasure in the former
precinct to the waste basket, and
leaving the republican candidate be-
tween 80 and so votes in the lead
The exact figures will not be known
until written decision is prepared
by Judge Stanford.
Judge Stanford prefaced his de-
cision with remarks regarding his
attitude during the contest, claiming
that he was never anxious to be the
one to decide the question but was
compelled to do so in the discharge
Of his duties as a superior court
Judge. He had tried to be fair and
impartial. he stated, and hoped that
there was no one who would feel that
either side was shown any favoritism.
The court first announced that it
would vacate the order to throw out
the Douglas No. l precinct. A gasp
of astonishment emanated from the
the lips of Campbell's constituents
following this announcement and the
faces Of the Hunt supporters were
wreathed in smiles of victory. Judge
Stanford followed it with the state
ment that he would return 43 of the
Al votes in Douglas which had evil

Declaration of New Policy.

Commissioner Sells letter, declar-
ing a new policy in the administra-
tion of Indian affairs, is as follows:
During the past four years the
efforts of the administration of In
dian affairs have been largely con-
centrated on the following funda-
mental activities: The betterment
of health conditions of Indians, the
suppression of the liquor traffic
among them, the improvement of
their industrial conditions, the fur
ther development of vocational train
ing in their schools, and the prOtec-
ton of Indians property, Rapid
progress has been made along all
these lines, and the work thus reor-
ganized and reyitalized will go on
with increased energy With these
activities and accomplishments we'll
under way, we are now ready to take
the next step in our administrative
program.

MILLION
LBS. OF COPPER
WAS PRODUCTION OF ARIZONA
DURING MONTH OF APRIL
PAYROLL OF MINES FOR THE
MONTH $5,OOO,OOO.

Arizona produced during the
month of April in the neighborhood
of 6O,O00,0OO pounds of copper, from
all sources, according to estimates
made by the Arizona Chapter of the
American Mining Congress. This
metal on the quoted metal price of
29 and 80 cents for immediate de-
livery would be worth $4,000, 900.
However, the bulk of Arizona copper
is sold up to July and beyond for q
cents, minus delivery charges to pur
chasers amounting to about cents
the pound in foreign countries. So
the Arizona producers are receiving
actually about "a cents the pound,
although they are paying wages on
the basis of the quoted market prices
from day to day. A further deduc-
ton must be made from their actual
receipts from output, too, by reason
of the fact that they are supplying
all the needs of their own govern
ment at 1b IL cents the pound.
This tonnage is not as yet great, but
it cuts into the total quite a bit just
the same. A few cents off on the
price of copper makes more of a diff
ference than the average layman is
likely to grasp on first thought.
For instance, at 80 cents this
months Arizona copper would be
worth $18,00O,OOO. But at the ac-
tual price being received of "A cents
it figures out 100000, a consid-
erable cut. However, there are not
many states in the union engaged in
the production from the ground of
any single commodity to the extent
of $14,O00,OOO a month.

CITIZENSHIP
FOR INDIANS
INDIAN DEPARTMENT PROMUL-
GATES NEW POLICY WHICH
MEANS DAWN OF A NEW ERA
IN INDIAN ADMINISTRATION.

A new and far-reaching policy has
just been announced by the depart
ment of Indian affairs, in a letter
signed by Cato Sells, Commissioner
OF Indian Affairs, and approved by
guardianship of all competent In
dians is to be discontinued by the
government, and there is hope of the
Parker Indians becoming citizens at
all early date.
There are few tribes in the west
more capable of conducting their
own affairs than are the Mohave
Indians of Parker. For several
years past the Indians of this tribe
have been cultivating their allot-
ments, and they have been making
better living than ever before in
their lives.
The surplus lands of the Colorado
River Indian reservation are held
in trust for the benefit of the local
Indians, and as soon as they assume
citizenship and show competency all
moneys derived from the sale of
these lands will be pro rated, or
divided, among the members of the
tribe. This would amount to ap-
proximately $4,000 to each Indian,
including children.

above all exterminate them with
