SUPPORT STATE BUREAU OF MINES

When the next legislature goes into session It will probably be buried under avalanche of bills providing large of money for expenditure various projects. Among those bills will be asking for for the continuance and furtherane of the work of the State Blu of Mines This is bill that should be given the careful attention of every legislator regardless of party aation personal business pursuit It should not be cast aside careessy with less deserving For the State Bureau of Mnes despite the fact that 1t has been hampered by lack of adequate funds has set about
 work of great benefit to every person in Arizona The bureau is undertaking to aid the prospector and the small mine operator develop his claims to the best advan tage and create from them mineral wealth for the whole In other words 1t the aim of the bureau to supply to those miners who unable to afford to meet the expense personally the benefits of expert advice and information that the large operating concerns are able to through private means. The bureau 1t appears is making easier for the little fellow and such object certainly must meet the approval of everyone.

FEDERAL OFFICIAL
 SUED FOR DIVORCE

PHOENIX, Dec. 31-That her hus- band compelled her to kiss and caress him after they had been separated. is one of the grounds upon which Mrs Eva Brown seeks a divorce from Frank Brown. United States immi- grafton inspector for this district.
 Today. three weeks after the dis missal of the case of Mrs. Eva Brown versus Frank Brown, in which separ- ate maintenance was asked, Mrs. H-own began divorce proceedings in he superior court.
 The complaint filed today is fully s sensational as the former one "hich was dismissed on the agree nent of Brown to provide his wife with the common necessities of cloth ing, groceries and pin money. That he failed to carry out his part Is not cited in the complaint which has to do rather with the cruelty of Brown.
 Mrs. Brown alleges that her hus- bands attentions forced her to call in the neighbors for protection, to her anguish. pain and humiliation.
 The Browns were married in Tomb stone, November 20, 1907. Brown besides being a federal officer, is also a we'll known labor leader.

ARIZONA MINES PAY
 INVESTORS LARGE RETURNS

WASHINGTON. Jan. Ten mines in Arizona paid s34.O00.0OO in divi- dends during the past year. Adding Utah, Montana. Nevada and Idaho dividends to those of Arizona, we have a total of over 100,000.O0O in dividends paid out of the mines of these five western states in a single year.
 These are some Of the impressive facts brought out by the report of the ,eological survey to Secretary Lane just made. Never before" said MT. .ane. has SO large a draft been made n the natural resources of our coun- ry as during this year, and never be-
 ~o have the metals been extracted 'om these ores with less waste or 'tilized to better advantage in advanc-
 g the general prosperity of the coun- y. Even as written in the plain gures of 1916 production the wonder 'ul record of our mines sets forth a egree of national industrial inde- Dandence only hoped for a few years ago.
