 Every farmer who has ever worked impoverished soil knows how djscouraging and heart sicE ening is the struggle

CFrom Fridays DailyO

Advices have reached this city of the death of Brigadier General Der nard John Bowling Irwin, which oc- cured at Coburg, Ontario, Canada, on last Saturday, after an illness of only a week The nature of the fatal affliction was not learned.
 General Irwin, it IS presumed, was detailed for special military duty, al thought he had been on the retired list of the U. s. army for many years and made his home at Chicago. This distinguished officer served in Arizona for many years, and dur ing the administration of General Crook in his Apache Indian campaigns the deceased officer won such renown as to be awarded a special medal by congress in recognition of his dis tinguished gallantry This distinc- ton has but seldom been accorded military officers.
 During his military career in Ariz- ona, General Irwin made Fort Whip, pie his base of operations, and in this locality he was favorably known to all pioneers. He was stern of llNGl, tllO HNl OllN Ol AllN must of men. His generous nature time and again was shown in assisting eX- posed settlers in this and other sec tions of Arizona, when he would draw on the commissary stores at any post for needed supplies, to those in want or unable to purchase. He was born in Ireland, June "A, 1880, com, ing to the United States when mere boy and taking up the profession of a physician.

1917 THE BANNER YEAR IN
 MINING IN YAVAPA| COUNTY
Chairman J.E. Russell of Mining Con- mittee of Chamber of Commerce De-
 tails Progress in Annual Report.

which can only be found where mines abound
 The Mining committee recom- mends that during the coming year that as much publicity as possible be given to the mining industry of this county, of course, consistent with the other industries. All of the mem- bers of this committee fully realize the importance of the other indus tries of this county and do not de- sire to detract from such industries any of the credit due to them, but merely desires to point out and urge that the principal industry of this county be given all the assistance and encouragement possible.
 l desire to call attention to a very much needed thing in this young State. There is wide gap between the prospector and the mine opera tor. The man owning a prospect is almost invariably too poor to develop 1t beyond that stage. The man searching for a mine seldom desires to develop a prospect. We seriously need some entcrprising person to fill this gap; someone to take the prospect and develop it to a stage where it can be sold as a mine. There is no question about the pro fit that can be derived from such an enterprise, but it must be so capi talized and handled in such man ner that the law of averages will give to its its proper profit. All prospects do not make mines, but every mine was once prospect. One United Verde developed will pay for all the lost work in developing a thousand prospects, and the average mines developed from prospects are far in excess of one to the thousand
 Respectfully submitted.

 Chairman Mining Committee.

PHOENIX, Dec. 22.-George w. P. Hunt is governor of Arizona.
 The supreme court today unanim- ously agreed that he had been proper ly elected to the high office and is entitled to the seat and all the per quisites and emoluments thereof from January 1st of this year.
 Fifteen days are allowed the contes- tee to file an application for a rehear- ing, but it is expected that Gov Hunt will take over the office next week.
 The decision means mighty up- heaval in the politics of Arizona. It is expected that many of the former Hunt appointees will be reinstated.
 There is some talk of a special ses- sion of the legislature to enact into laws some parts of Gov. Hunts plans which, because of the contested cleo ton, failed of passage last spring.
 The decision finally came at the end of a long, heart-breaking wait. For weeks the tip has daily gone forth that it was ready, but every day the patient walters have been doomed to disappointment.
 For some time the Hunt cohorts at the capitol building have professed confidence in the result, and Leroy Ladd, secretary to Gov. Hunt, recent, ly made arrangements to resume his residence near the state house.
 Gov. Campbell is in Prescott today, but is expected home tomorrow and will make plans at once for the evacu- ation of the office which he has held since last February.
 News of the decision spread thru out the city with lightning-like rapid ity and extras announcing the re- suit were eagerly purchased.
 It is already accepted as fact that Gov Campbell will be the republican standard bearer in 1918
 The supreme court finds that Hunt was elected governor of Arizona in November, 1916, by a plurality of 43 votes.
