UNION MINES TO

PRESCOTT, Ariz. Feb. 9.-The
Disagreement that has existed over
the Union group of gold mines in the
Chaparral Mining district near here
has at last been settled by agreement,
and as a result production work on
the mines will be rushed as fast as
possible, and development work will
be continued without abatement. D..
M. Loocey has possession of the mines
as result Of the agreement and has
already organized for the increased
work in that section. Ore is in sight
that averages 800 in gold, and there
is an eight foot ledge of this bearing
ore High grade ore will be shipped
and low grade kept on the ground for
treatment, a reduction plant being a
part of the present plant. John S.

of this is to be placed under the author
ity of the board of control, and seventy
five per cent is to be apportioned to the
several counties.

DENTAL
BOARDS POLICIES

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9.-Alleging
aminers would form closed corporation
of the dental practice of the state, A.
H. Tittlefield of Parker addressed a re-
monstrance to Senator Winsor of Yuma
county, which was read in open session
on Friday morning. In the course of
his letter Mr.. Tittlefield told Senator
Winsor that the examinations of candi-
dates for licenses to practice ought he
thought to be held twice each year in
stead of once as is now the case, and
that better accommodations ought to be
made in the interest both of the candi-
dates themselves and the patients upon
whom they gratuitously practice when
demonstrating their skill.
He complained that in the fall, when
the exam was held, the weather was
uncomfortable, and that the room in
which the demonstration was held was
in no wise equipped, and that there
were no curtains TO Keep the unruly
sun from causing both interested par
ties from squirting badly. Concluding
Mr.. Tittlefield remarked that if these
things were all fixed and the opportuni-
ties for license qualification made more
frequent more dentists would come to
the state to dispute with those now
here the bread and butter making
problem that confronts nearly all man
kind.

DUTY OF EMPLoYE

The wisdom of guarding and pro-

dustrial plants is very apparent from
the viewpoint of the employer and
in by theN employee. For while pc
cuniary compensation relieves the in
iured Workmen and his dependents
from actual want, and prevents them
from becoming a burden on society, it
does not restore a life or rebuild
broken frame. Prevention of the ac-
cident is far better than any possible
assistance after the accident has oc-
Cured, Precaution is less burdensome
than regret There is beyond the ques-
ton of Safety Provisions" a pro-
nounced obligation on the part of the
employee to reduce or eliminate the
possibility of preyentable accidents. To
the workman the preservation of life
and limb should be an ever present in
fIuence to stimulate caution, This
should be personal matter Will

ployment. Familiarity with danger too
often results in the relaxation of eau
ton, with the result that accidents hap

The employee should at all times be

stantly alert to prevent the accidents
which so often occur from thoughtless-
ness and carelessness. Mont

WATCH YOUR TEETH

Your stomach has no teeth. If you
don't chew your food before you swal
low it yod make your stomach do work
that it isn't made for. 1t may do it for
a time, but sooner or later it will go on
a strike Then you will have stomach
trouble. You can't chey your food un
less you have good teeth. Take a look
at your teeth. How many need repairs?
Go to a man who repairs them. A
little attention now may save a tooth
that otherwise will be lost in month
or two. Keep your teeth in good condi-
ton. Do you know what makes teeth
decay? Much decay is caused by al
lowing small pieces of food to stick in
and around the teeth and by allowing
germs to stay there by not cleaning the
teeth. Get toothbrush and clean your
teeth well every day.
Give your stomach a chance
Before you eat wash your hands and
face. Don't eat dirt. Sit down, make
yourself comfortable, take your time,
and chew your food well. Eat slowly;
your stomach will do better work if it
is not speeded up. Don't drink too
much water when you are eating Don't
drink lot of cold water at once; it
chills the stomach and may cause
cramps. Drink little water at a time
and drink many times. Don't drink
water that is too cold.

Digest of the Bill and Salaries Provided

PHOENIX, AEiz., Feb 9.-Reclassi>
fication of the counties of Arizona on
a basis of assessed valuation instead
of on a basis of population is proposed
in bill introduced in the state senate
by Senator Mattox of Navajo county.
The bill is the result of the recent SUI
preme court decision declaring the
classification act of 1912 unconstitu-
tional.
Under the provisions of the bill now
before the senate, Arizonas fourteen
counties would be divided into five
classes; those having an assessed
valuation over $9O,OOO,OOO being in the
first class, those whose assessed valu-
alton as between fifty and ninety mil
lions being in the second class and
those between twenty seven and fifty
millions being in the third class. The
fourth class includes counties whose
assessed valuation is between twelve
and twenty seven millions and the fifth
class al under twelve millions The as
sessed valuation taken as official in
the determination of the class of each
county are those fixed by the state
board of equalization in 1915
Under this method of classification
the counties would be classified as
follows:
First class, Cochise county
Second class, Maricopa, Yavapai and
ella.
Third class, Greenlee. Pima, Pinal.
Fourth class, Coconino Graham, Mo-
have, Yuma.

that the remaining ruins in the state

University of Arizona
MANY of the best ruins have been

done only by the hearty cooperation
of the United States government and

best of the ruins now surviving, and
| by keeping the rest of their arts and
industries here where they were pro-
duced, typical prehistoric homes and
evidences of their social and religious
customs may be saved for thorough
study of these first inhabitants of the
state.
I'm view of the fact that the best
tof Arizona's prehistoris treasures have
already been moved elsewhere and in
view of the fact that we must have the
hearty cooperation of the people of
