NO SHAM BATTLE

The Nocyar club smoker boxing
bouts, held Thursday night, the 10th
instant, it is said gave rise to a fistic
encounter of the genuine variety after
the smoker was over. Eye witnesses
are lacking, but it is stated that just
before the bout between O'Lafferty ano
Stadelli the younger was pulled off, an
argument arose between the former
and Stadeli's elder brother, who was
present. The two parties nearly came
to blows, but were separated and
agreed to settle their differences later.
Accordingly, after the smoker was over,
it is claimed the two parties repaired
to the ball park, and there, in a twen-
ty-eight minute Nght, settled their dis
pute. Gloves were not used, and the
fight is said to have been of the most
lively character. If one man was down
the other would help him to his feet,
and the contest would continue. At
length, so they say, O'Lafferty gave in,
or, at least, did not appear for work
the next morning, os it was presumed
he had had rather the worst of the en-
counter.

Abolition of Capital Punish
ment through Efforts of
Former Governor Blamed
for Lynch Law.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 18. = Ari-
zona editors while unanimously con-
demning lynch law, are inclined to
believe that the recent hanging of
Starr Daley alias Van Ashmore by a
mob from Phoenix can be attributed
to the abolition or capital punish
ment and the consequent weakening
of the states criminal law. Few
papers in the state have attempted
to condone the hanging, but nearly
all editors agree that it met with
popular approval and was not more
than Daley deserved.
'The lynching of. Starr Daley,
whose terrible crime shocked the en-
tire state, only serves to prove that
there are some crimes for which life
punishment is Inadequate. at least in
the minos of the people of the state, .
says the Tucson Citizen (Rep.),
which discusses the affair under the
heading "Reaping the Whirlwind.' .
"The lynching is bound to cast a blot
on the name of the baby state" con-
tinues the Citizen. Governor Hunt
and his followers always maintained
that as long as Arizona tolerated
legal executions, she had the blood
of her citizens on her hands, and
Hunt did for e. number of years sue
ceed in preventing legal executions
Capital punishment was finally abol-
ished and now we find Arizona with
blood OH her hands and those who
took the life as a penalty for crime
beyond The penalty of the law"
suits of abolishing hanging in Ari-
zona,' says the Bisbee Review (Dem.)
Sundays lynching was the first ir
thiry years in Arizona, for during
that time capital punishment was
upon the statute books of the terri
tory and state. Men who murdered
without cause or reason always saw
in the distance, the vague shadow OF
the scaffold. AS a deterrant fol
for capital offenses it was wonderful
The derrant was removed and the
trial and execution of sentence o1
the first atrocious crime was taker
from it's proper channel, the court
and put into the hands of a mob. Il
may be unseemly to forecast further
blots upon the fair name of the
state of Arizona, +" concludes the Re.
view, "but it is safe to conjecture
that when the proper and meritet
punishment is not meted out the law
| will be taken into the hands of men.
Foolish laws breed crime de-

LYNCH|NG DUE To WEAKENING
Of CRIMINAL LAW, SAY EDITORS

clares the Globe Record (Rep) which
declares that if the criminal laws
had been enforced by all the
the authorities, there would have
been no lynching. Had not hardened
criminals been turned loose, without
rhyme or reason to prey upon the
law respecting public, and had not
the fanatical idea been entertained
that a murderer, allowed to escape
the gallows, is certain to become an
asset to the nation, there could have
been no possibility of this enlight-
ened people lending itself to such an
outrage against civilization and de-
cency," says the Record.
Would Ashmore have committed
his double crime if he had known
that the law might exact the capital
penalty?" asks the Tucson Star
(Dem). Would the knowledge that
he might pay for this crime with his
life have been a deterrant factor?"
L
means that number Of citizens have
Irepudiated the anti-capital punish
ment under the circumstances which
characterized the Ashmore crime. To
all intents and purposes, it finds, a
community of the state has said by
it's acts that it will rot consider the
anti capital punishment law binding
under a given set if circumstances.
1T is not true that the members of
the mob put themselves in opposition
10 the will of the majority of the
people of the state" says the Star,
for the majority of the people of the
state have never declared themselves
to be in favor of the abolition of
capital punishment"
"The crime committed by Daley was
one of the most, horrible we ever
heard of and that he was degen-
crate of the lowest type is absolutely
(Dem.) OF Stafford I'VE can realize
the feelings of the men who listened
to the wife's story of the murder and
the terrible outrage that this fiend in
human shape visited upon her, and
it will be hard to convince anyone
that in bringing this brute's career to
an end in quick time was not jus
tifiable."
'"The verdict of the jury was little
unusual, but fully Justified" from the
facts surrounding the case,'' says the
Winslow Mail (Rep.). "There is no
doubt but what the incident is closed,
and no effort will ever be made to
learn the identity of the members of
the mob. 1t is too bad the public can
not know their names, so they could
be extended the congratulations of the
decent people of the state. They were
| fully justified in their acts, and they
! certainly did a good job"

HAYDEN CONCENTRATES

The entertainment committee of the
Nocyar club gave another smoker
Thursday night, May 10th, at which
the usual boxing and wrestling events
were staged. Two three-round boxing
bouts were pulled off as follows:
First Bout-O'Lafferty VS.. Stadelli
the Younger.
Second Bout-Young Brady VS.. Chico.
Also the following wrestling contest:
Cy Pratt VS.. Joe Belmont. Belmont
winning two straight falls out of three.
The next club smoker will be held on
Thursday, May oath. It is anticipated
that dance will be held on the new
tennis court on the 26th, unless some
thing happens in the meantime to pre-
vent the completion of the court by
that date.

from the time the spring claim was
purchased pumping machiner was in
stalled and was throwing water to
the tunnel mouth.
In order to obtain a suitable camp
site and al the same time gain 1876
feet in depth for the Watson tunnel,
the Long Ledge claim was purchased
and added to the company's holdings.
camp has been esta ablished, cook and
bunk houses built and the power
plant which includes a SO H. P. Fair
banks Morse oil engine and a 800
foot Sullivan compressor set up
Three iackhammer air drills were
placed in operation about April /,
and since that date work of drilling
the tunnel has been speeded up. If
the present rate of progress is main
tanned, it is estimated that the man
ganese ledge, from which the Magma
is shipping high grade copper ore.
will be cut before September 1.
Assays of the rock now being taken
from the Watson fissure show some
silver values in the manganese and
iron oxides, according to Superin-
tendent Kumke. The fissure is un-
usually well defined and closely re-
senbles the productive fissure of the
Magma Copper company. which it
parallels at a horizontal distance
from it of about $500 feet.

MAGMA CHIEF T(JNNE LGO[SAH[AD
SPEEDILY WITH new MACHINERY

SUPERIOR, Ariz., May 19.-Driving
of the Magma Chief tunnel in the
famous Watson fissure is now going
forward at the rate of eight feet a
day, with two shifts being constantly
employed. TIE tunnel is now in a dis
tance of 365 feet, having progressed
over 200 feet since the new power
plant was put into operation on April
1. At a distance of 1900 feet from
the mouth it is expected that the
tunnel will cut the lateral manganese
ledge, known throughout the district
as the L. S. and A. ledge, according
to a recent report of Superintendent
Charles A. Kumke on operations at
the property.
This ledge is one of the most no.
ticeable formations In the district,
being easily traceable from Queen
Creek through the entire length of
the Magma Chief property. It is
from this ledge that the Magma Cop
per company is making daily ship
ments of high grade copper ore, oper-
ating on it's end of the same for
nation.
In spite of the fact that for months
all orders for mining machinery ana
equipment have been subject to delay,
Superintendent kunke succeeded in
getting prompt delivery of full
complement of heavy machinery for
the Magma Chief. Following the re-
survey of the claims and building of
5000 feet of wagon road to connect
with the Silver King road, a pump
ing plant was installed on the newly
acquired Gerald Cansler claim, where
a living spring affords an adequate
supply of water for domestic and
operation purposes. The water FROM
this spring had to be piped 1000 feet
to the camp site at the mouth of the
Watson tunnel In just twenty days
