Mining Notes

There are several promising claims tributary to Mccarthy that will de- velop and be shippers by next fall. The Tjosevig-Kennecott group will begin active operations for the de- velopment in the next 30 days. The Chitti group (known as the Erickson prop,rty) on Glacier creek, shows every indication of being big pro ducer by next season. The shipment of two carloads of ore by P.J. Bonner, is but a sampling test and was the re suit of development work only. The Kennicott Mines company is working about 400 men and they are putting out over ,OOO tons a week. Mccarthy is looking very prosperous and IS looking forward to a big boom both in mining and building this season.

Possessing fluent com mand of the Spanish language, he at- tended several of the meetings and heard much of threatening nature. Speakers openly advised the populace that an army soon would march to the reconquest of Arizona and the Southwest, formerly owend by Mexi- co, and that all arrangements had been completed for securing the nec- essary arms and money for victori- ous war against the gringos, with the full backing of great European na- tion.
 It is told that Germans are securing especial consideration in the west coast Mexican states, including ex- emption from the prohibition on im- portation of alcoholic liquors, some thing strictly enforced on Americans.

Woodruff Dam Washes Out

Tuesday afternoon telephone mes sage from Woodruff announced that the dam at that place in course of construction by the Woodruff Irriga- tion Co. had been washed out. The dam was built of rock and dirt and had been 'built upon quicksand, with no excavation to rock or solid earth. About week ago it was noticed that water was going through the dam and 1t was predicted that the dam would go out. More than $10,000 have al- ready been expended in building the dam and the money is lost. Besides the loss of money, farmers in the irri- gation district will have no water for irrigation this year and their loss will be great. The loss of the dam is a serious calamity to all the people of that section. P. T. Coleman, who is heavily interested in the dam, inform ed the News that the break could be repaired for about $3,000, and that al- ready provision had been made to secure the money.--Holbrook News.

HUNTS ATTORNEYS ADMIT
 HE LEADS BY BUT 12 VOTES

The close of ex-Governor Hunts case in the contest proceedings dis closes that on the count as. it now stands he has gained 192 votes over the official count. In addition to this he hopes to gain 49 votes in precincts held by the court for additional proof by the election board. This would give him a total gain of 241 votes, which is considerably less than his expert accountants have figured.
 This announced gain presupposes that Judge Stanford will not change any of his rulings. He has, however, announced that he will change his rulings on some of the ballots, which is certain to mean a gain for Camp bell as practically all of the rulings have been in favor of Hunt. Assum- ing that there will be no change in Judge Stanford's rulings and that Hunt will be given all of the votes he claims, his attorneys admit that he will be only 12 votes in the lead when Tom Campbell gets through his case. In other words, Campbell will make enough gains, not counting the votes which he hopes to pick up in Douglas, precinct No. 1, to bring him within 12 votes of Hunt.
 At the close of his case Senator Ives withdrew number of precincts which had shown gain for Hunt.
 Hunt has fallen down badly on his case, his attorneys are discouraged and supporters of Governor Campbell are now claiming that the judgment in the contest case will show that he actually received a larger majority than was registered for him in the official count. Judge Sloan, chief counsel for Campbell, is in San Fran cisco, but his place is being taken by Judge John H. Campbell of Tucson, who is assisted by George P. Bullard and John l.. Gust.

GOV. CAMPBELL WOULD
 RAISE ROUGH RIDER REG.

1 Arizona, one of the "lost provinces" promised to Mexico by Germany in the correspondence barred through the Associated Press newspapers, will have something to say about that. The day was yet young, when com munications began arriving here re- garding home defense in the event of invasion by Mexican troops, or in case of any other eventualities.
 The first offer of service came from Governor Thomas E. ampbell, who is attending the convention of the Gila County Cattle Growers Association at Globe this week, and arrived in the form of dispatch from Globe, say ing:
 When Governor Campbell was in- formed of Associated Press dispatch es regarding the treachery of Ger many, he said in the event of hostili- ties, he would raise troop of Rough Riders from among the cattlemen, now holding session here.
 Governor Campbell declared that he placed service to his country above service to his state, and that he would postpone his gubernatorial duties at Phoenix to organize for Arizona a troop of Rough Riders that would equal if it could not excel, the origin al Rough Riders"
 No' fear is felt here of Arizona be- corning, even temporarily, a province of Mexico. State defense measures can be rapidly whipped into shape and the offers of numerous prominent men to aid in this work are already re- ceived.
