Calder Declares
Colby May Head
Tammany Ticket
In Executive Session of SEN
ate Discusses Tigers Plan
to Defeat Mitchell

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Tammany'
plans for the defeat Of Mayor Mitchell
were discussed in an executive session
of the United States Senate to-day,
when Senator Calder charged that
cambridge Colby, who has been nomi-
mated as a member Of the Shipping
Board, was being considered as Tam
many's candidate for the Mayoralty.
The New York Senator is of opinion
that Colby's friends wish to utilize the
Presidents Endorsement of Colby in ap-
pointing him to the Shipping Board to
further his interests, and incidentally
Tammanys interests, in the fight for
city jobs and contracts.
Spectators here have been wondering
for some time just how we'll the over
lures of Tammany to the Administra-
ton were being received. There has
been no breach since the bitter fight
Tammany made against the famous
Clarke amendment 10 the Philippines
bill. After the President had written
a letter to Chairman Jones, OF the In
sular Committee, at that time, urging
the Democratic caucus to indorse the
Senate bill without dotting an 81" or
crossing a st." the Tammany delega-
ton, with a very small sprinkling from
other states, amounting to less than
thirty all told, marched up and abb
solved themselves.
Administration Bumped Hard
This vote, allied with a solid Repub-
lican front against the Clarke amend
ment the next day. beat it decisively-
the only real bump the Administration
has had from Congress in five years
except the passage Of the immigration
bill over the Executive veto.
There have been many rumblings and
complainings, but Tammany has not
bolted since that time. In the present
session the Tiger holds the absolute
balance of power, with some votes to
spare. in the House. An order from
Boss Murphy would kill any Admins
tration measure to which the Republi-
cans were also solidly opposed, but no
such order has come. Instead there
has been much support and no obstruc-
ton from Tammany men in the House
during the present Congress.
Hence. much significance has attached

Very few companies are offering

treated in special articles, and in

That the Great Parker Country
will bring in a large number of big
copper producers during the next
year or two seems certain. There
is no lack Of capital for development
purposes, and the work that is be-
ing done is fast proving the perma
nency of the ore bodies. Few sec
tiOns of Arizona show greater sur

ed here, and wherever depth has

west side of the Colorado river, be-
gan to take on new life owing to
better transportation facilities. For
a short period Of great activity mark
ed the development OF min
era1 resources OF this section,
when the price OF copper
took decided slump. Being
new country in which the ex-
pense OF operation was larger than
in other more favored mining dis
tricts; the low price of copper and
the difficulty in securing capital for
mining investments at that time, the
industry languished for several
years.
In the meantime, however, an i'm
mense ore body was encountered in
the Swansea mine, and various
other properties showed sure signs
of permanency. When the price Of
copper began to go up about two
years ago, properties which had
either laid dormant or had been
worked only in small way began
to open up and develop.
For the past year no other sec
tion of Arizona has developed it's
mineral resources with more success
than has the various mining districts
surrounding Parker in every direc-
tiOn. Swansea and Planet mines
have been producing for the past
fourteen months. The Empire,
Billy Mack and numerous other prop
critics in the immediate vicinity of
Parker have shipped many thou
sands of dollars worth of ore to the
smelters.

gress in the mines of this section,
it cannot be said that Parker is

term is generally accepted when ap-

Perhaps the most vivid remem-

automobile tourists passing through
Parker, has been their crossing of
the Colorado river. After the
miles and miles of almost barren
desert through which they had been
riding, the river and the almost trop-
ica1 verdure : with which it is
fringed, was a welcome sight.
No less welcome, however, was the
presence of the sturdy twin-screw

Aosta of Royal Family;
Barely Missed a Throne

The Duke Of Aosta comes OF family
of kings Victor Emmanuel II OF Italy
was his grandfather. Humbert | of Italy
was his uncle. Victor Emmanuel iii,
the present Italian ruler. is his first
cousin. His father, Amedeo, Duke OF
Aosta, became by election-for a short
and stormy season--the King Of Spain.
For a number Of years the dazzling
vision Of the Italian throne itself was
held before the dukes eyes. While his
cousin, the present Italian monarch.
was still the Prince OF Naples, his
health became so impaired that the
duke was looked upon by Italy as the
heir presumptive 20 the throne.
That this slluring hope came TO
naYght was bitter disappointment TO
the Duchess OF Aosta. il has always
beer said in Europe. The duchess was
Helene of Orleans. daughter of the late
Count of Paris. and was one of the
most beautiful women of the European
nobility. Her wedding TO the duke took
place in England twenty-five years ago,
at time when his prospects for
kingdom appeared the most happy.
In the present war the duke has
proved himself an intrepid general.
