WORKING FOR RETIREMENT
 OF ARIZONA MINERS

An important need of the State of Arizona is a method by which some of the fifty thousand men employed in the mines of the state can obtain the necessary knowledge to enable them to advance in their work. While there is correspondence depart. ment in the University of Arizona, 1t does not entirely fulfill the needs. This department gives work at uni. versity rating for university credit. to count toward a degree, whereas com paratively few of the men employed in the mines have had the opportun, ity to get the prerequisite subjects preliminary to these courses. To get these prerequisites would take so much time that they would become discouraged and fail to complete their plans
 It is proposed to have the State Bureau of Mines give correspondence courses to those who are not able to attend the university. the work being given primarily for the miner and prospector, not being designed to lead to a degree. but merely to help a man better himself in his individual posi- tion.
 Tn addition to this It Is planned tc conduct miners institutes in various parts of the state. where the Univers ity of Arizona and the State Bureau of Mines and its opportunities will be brought directly to the people te whom 1t owes It's support

PROSPERITY IN COUNTY

That there is an increase in pros perity in Cochise county is reflected in the number of instruments that are filed in the ofiice of County Recorder Krebs.

news of the contest. The letter fol lows:
 Executive Ofiice, State House,
 Phoenix. Arizona,
 January 10. 1917. My dear Friend:-
 Your good letter of recent date has had my careful consideration. Inotice that the papers in your part of the State are still publishing all kinds of reports and making false charges.
 The inspection of the ballots has been finished. and I have made net gain of TIT votes; in other words. ! have a clear majority of 147 over my opponent. All press statements sent out are doctored, and false stories are being sent broadcast. with . view, l suppose. of trying to mould public opinion. It is . shame that ths sub sidized press of the stats is 70 base. because all those in authority know and realize that the statements they print and send out are absolutely false in every particular.
 I shall still remain trne to my col ors. would not want any ofics if I didn't feel that I was rightfully en- titled to It. The rsnk and He Of the people. and the Democratic Party. have . right to know the truth: they expect ne to remain true. end ! shall do my best.
 Approaching your good letter, I am.
 Very sincerely your.
 GEO. ". P. HUNT.

PHOENIX. Jsn. le-Campbell's ap- plication for . writ Of mandamus com polling Hunt to surrender the gover. nor's offiee was finally submitted to the state supreme court late this af. ternoon following extended arguments by attorneys for both sides. Hunts attorneys contended that Campbell vas not aualifed to hold the once of governor because he never rendered his resignation from the tax com mission. while attorneys for Camp bell argued that in taking the oath of ofiics and qualifying for governor he abdicated his office as tax commis sioner.
 The case was submitted on motion of Campbells attorneys to strike cer- tain paragraphs of Hunts amended answer and the court intimated that it would be three or four days before . decision would be rendered.
 The question of recognizing Camp bell as governor will be brough, up in the legislature tomorrow. 1t was de clared tonight Campbell has enough votes in both houses. it Is claimed, to gain recognition.
 A meeting of the democratic state executive committee was held here to. day to consider Hunts action in re- fusing to surrender the office to Camp bell. he meeting was packed by Hunt supporters who put through q resolution declaring the meeting un. necessary and endorsing Hunt "as the representative of the democracy oi the state" in his contest for the gover norship.

Lesisiatlve Dangers

PHOENIX, Jan. 10-After . recess of one day in which it was marking time for the supreme court in the mandamus proceedings began by T. E. Campbell against c. W. P. Hunt. for possession of the office of gover- nor, the legislature will assemble to- morrow morning at half past ten o'clock.
 In the meantime ynere Is no legis- lative proceedings. No bills will be introduced and it is said tonight that the introduction of bills will be dis couraged until the status of the two governors has been determined by the court. Doubt was expressed though, whether the legislature itself can be held in check if there should be a long delay on the part of the court. Fears are entertained by the leaders tonight that an outbreak may occur at any time. possibly tomorrow in the form of the introduction of . resolution by Mrs. Pauline o'Nein. Democrat of Naricopa county. recognizing Mir. Campbell. She has had such . reso- lution on her desk since the opening of the session and was narrowly pre- vented from offering 1t on Tuesday.
 The mere presentation of it. it is predicted, will start the trouble and effect a lineup which. it is feared. will be maintained throughout the session to the detr'ment of legislation The Democrats are nearly equally divided in each house. into Hunt and anti Hunt factions, shown in the organiza- tou. It is not certain that all of the antiHunt Democrats would support the O1gefn resolution, but there are four Republican votes in the House and i've h the Senate that friends of the resolution say would more than offset any defectioa Of she Dsnocssts.

MADISON BOwLERS
CAPTAINS SELECT TEAMS TO
REPRESENT MADISON IN
TOURNAMENT.

The teams which will represent
Madison in the South Dakota Bowl
ing association tournament to be
held in this city March 5, 6, 7 and s,
were selected last night. 1t had been
planned to have the highest average
men in the Madison Bowling league
draw the teams, but some of the men
did not ARE to draw so others were
substituted and seven teams were
made up out of the bowlers in the
league. The reason for splitting up
the high average bowlers is to get
more teams in the tournament. Ii
all the better bowlers were picked
! out and put on teams there would
probably not be over two or three
teams, and by splitting them up we
have seven and possibly eight teams
There may be a few changes made
In the personnel of some of the
teams, but they will appear on the
alleys on the evening of March 5
practically the same as they are now,
which Is as follows:

SUP7. MAY REELECTED
AT MEETING OF SCHOOL BOARD
LAST NIGHT MISS Entry
AGAIN TO BE PRINCIPAL.

Supt, S. T. May was reelected by
the school board at the meeting last
night TO the position of superintend.
ent of city schools for the mex three
years at a salary of $4,000 per year.
Miss June Emry was elected prin-
cipal of the high school for the en-
suing year at a salary of $1,000.
Acting on the recommendation OF
Supt. May and his committee of
teachers, the board elected Miss
Emily Glatz as teacher for the back
ward pupils at a salary of $50 a
month, her duties beginning March
/.
The selection of this special teach
er is to give children of the grammar
grades who are backward in their
school work an opportunity to make
up their deficiencies. They will
have a separate room in the new
wing and given individual instruc-
ton until their work comes up to
the required grade.
This plan gives the less gifted the
opportunity to study and recite I'M
der special guidance and in the case
of many they will be able to finish
not far behind their more fortunate
comrades. Other schools throughout
the country have the same plan in
operation and reports come In con-
tinually telling of its success.
With the completion of the new
wing, the ~janitor has many addition
al duties IN his hands which will be
hard for him to perform and the
board has allowed him $40 per
month to hire extra help when the
need for such arises.
Supt. May was granted s25 for ex-
penses to attend the convention of
school superintendent which will be
held in Kansas City next week. Mr.,
May left for the convention last
night on the midnight train.
Besides these measures. routine
business. such as the allowance and
authorization for payment Of the reg
ular bills occupied the remainder of
the session.
