RAY ROAD BOOSTERS
ON TOUR TO PHOENIX

Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Bland and DR..
W. G. Barackman and wife spent sew
eral days the first of the week on a
road boosting tour of the highway route
to Phoenix. They spent Sunday with
DR.. Chandler at the San Marcos hotel.
DR.. Chandler is an advocate of good
roads and is boosting for the new route
to Phoenix which will pass through
Chandler.
Pinal county is planning for road
bond issue of 100000 and according to
Supervisor Frank Schilling the bonds
are sure to carry.
The new route to Phoenix crosses the
Gila at Kelvin thence to Florence and
connects with the Maricopa county
end of the route at San Tan mountain
south of Higley. This eliminates the
mountain and desert roads. The Pin
al county end of the route is Superior
to that of Maricopa county at the pres
ent time and the road boosters made
it plain along the live that Pinal coun-
ty autoists if need be could find good
roads to Tucson if Maricopa county
failed to cooperate on the plan.

In connection with the action of the
state senate on the state smelter the
Tucson Citizen said thisSweek:
I'm general way, the miners un-
ions are understood to have favored
the state smelter measure, which came
up in the senate in the shape of a sub
stitute carrying an appropriation for
state sampling works. With the ex-
ception of Whipple, all the senators
seemed willing to kill the bill and it's
substitute, but not to go on record on
the subject. Chairman Devine, of the
mines committee, a practical miner,
said that something of the sort is
needed by small mine owners who
ores in the time of highest prices, but
the bill at the best would only pro-
vide for experimenting, at large cost
to the state. He suggested special
committee of five legislators to report
on the subject to the next session,
Mahoney, another miner and chair
man of the labor committee, consi-
dered the scheme unavoidable. Whip
pie was insistent in his demand for a
roll call. One was ordered by Senator
Sutter, in the chair of the committee
of the whole Sudden switches were
made by members who had begun to
think of their horny handed constitu-
ents, and it soon became apparent
that the bill would have majority
even though Senator Claridge sought
amendment, permitting the subsidiz-
ing of state -baling plant and
state sheep -shearing corral. At this
critical time, Whipple said he was sat
isfied; the roll call was stricken from
the records and the bill was killed, viva
voce.

from the war-like Indians that infest-
ed this region, first worked the Hardy
mine. The troops were housed in
stone buildings along the banks of Sill
yer Creek, the ruins of which remains
as a reminder of the stern days when
none but the strong survived the perils
of the desert Colonel Hardy probably
worked the mine principally for sill
silver mining in those days. The old
workings still show stringers of rich
silver ore, as well as gold.
There was no mining laws then and
a man held that which he claimed by
might. Colonel Hardy came, and went
his way. The mine was located and re-
located; rich gold ore was discovered
and the bullion extracted in crude
arastras after the Spanish fashion,
and the Spanish fashion, and later
was amalgamated in mills on the
Colorado river, few miles away. The
mine was worked mainly through tun-
nels and shallow shafts and back in the
eighties was producer of considerable
note
The property is credited with a pro-
duction ranging all the way from
$1OO 900 to $25O,OOO on fairly reliable
legendary information. AS now con-
stituted it consists of 135 acres of
ground covering a considerable dis
tance along the wide Hardy vein, that
outcrops boldly in several places. The
vein can be traced by it's outcrops for
two miles or more and several other
properties are located on the wide de-
posit of quartz. The original Hardy
mine is owned by wealthy men, some
of whom are connected with the Texas
Oil company The offices Of the COM
pany are in Denver, Colorado.

ORE CAR BROUGHT To STATE IN
SOS BY BULL TEAM DISCOVERED

Out of a dark corner in an old tunnel
at the Hardy mine has been dragged
an ancient ore car that is reminiscent
of olden days in Oatman when men
went to work with trusty rifle within
reach and kept a sharp lookout for
"Injuns." 1t is a high wheeled affair,
the bed made of wood and shows evil
dences of hard usage and many re-
pairs. The fifth wheel and the at
tachments for releasing the bed so that
the contents can be dumped are almost
identical with the modern car. While
in appearance, it runs easy and dumps
easy, considering age and infirmities,
and probably was the pride of the Sill
yer Creek section when in its prime.
The car was taken to Oatman and
put on exhibition at the mineral ex
hibit rooms of the Oatman Bureau of
Mines through the courtesy Of Mr.. A

CONCRETE ribbon To CONNECT
HAYDEN WITH N||NkEL MAN

HAYDEN, Ariz., March "a good
deal of speculation has been aroused
by the statement, recently published,
that a good modern road is to be huilt
between Hayden and Winkelman, and
the Copper Camp is now fortunately
in position to give details, received
from an authoritative source.
The new road, when completed, will
begin at the city limits of Winkelman;
will continue on a straight line to the
turn for the railroad crossing; will
pass the depot, cross the corner land
owned by the railroad company, and
on up the hill to point opposite Mr.
Nels Johnson's residence, where the
Ray Consolidated property begins
From this point continuation of the
road will have to be taken care of by
the company, and it is said that Mr.
L S. Gates will contribute a thousand
dollars for the purpose of making such
a continuation.
The center of the road is to be con-
tinuous rib of solid concrete, from a
foot to two feet in thickness, and fiji
teen feet wide, with six foot shoulder,
made of conglomerate, on each side.
The surface is to be bevelled over to
slope toward a ditch on each side.
When completed, the cement center will
have no other surface covering than
the dirt which adheres to it through
use
The building of the road will involve

to have been in use as late as thirty
years ago, possibly later. The wheels
appear to have been rifled from a rail-
way hand car. The wooden bed is
bound by strap iron, and nails of diff

in repairing weak places. Some Of the
track on which the car was run was
found in the workings of the mine by

JUDGE HICKEY IS
BACK WITH BRIDE

Judge M. M. Hickey slipped quietly
out of camp along the last of Febru-
ary and all of his friends were wonder
ing where he could be. e.
In fact it was much talked of around
the court house where he is usually to
be found.
The mystery was solved Sunday when
the judge returned bringing with him
a bride.
Mrs. Hickey was Miss Helen Paden

place in FL Paso, Texas, on Feb. 26th.

CHICAGO CUBS MAY CROSS BATS
WITH HAYDEN TEAM MARCH Z

HAYDEN, Ariz., Nov. 9.-Great ex-
citement reigned in baseball circles
here when it was rumored that the
Chicago Cubs-the real, genuine, famo-
Gus Chicago Cubs-were coming to play
the Hayden team on Tuesday, March
9th. Rumors to this effect had agita-
ted local fans for several days prior
to the receipt of the actual news, but
these were largely discredited for vari-
Gus reasons. 1t was said that the Ray
Club had offered the Cubs a game and
been turned down, as the big team in
tended to take the northern route east.
Again, it was affirmed that, owing to
the presence on the Hayden team Of
several players said to be suspended
from Major leagues, the Cubs could not,
under penalty, play them. Also, it was
deemed unlikely that the Chicago team
would go out of their way to play
single game.
However, here is what happened, and
readers may judge for themselves:
On March 3rd telegram we received
by the Hayden freight agent from H.
C. Hallmark, General Freight and Pas

The third state legislature adjourn
ed early Friday morning after having
passed in the last few hours of the
session the general appropriation bill,
the county reclassification bill and a
number of other measures more or less
important which had been left to the
last moment. The fact that the gener-
al appropriations and classification
acts were passed does away with the
necessity for an extra session.
Among the bills which passed in the
last week of the session were the
minimum wage for women bill, fixing
a minimum wage of $40 a week for
women; the county highway COM
missions bill; the widows pension
measure which went by the name of
boards of child welfare; the bill pro-
viding for the purchase of the old
gubernatorial mansion at Prescott by
the state; the brokers' license bill; the
Pinal Mountain Game preserve bill and
the commission of state institutions
bill. The latter measure creates
commission of state institutions, which
has charge of all state reformatory
and penal institutions, as well as the
asylum for the insane, pioneers home
and has control of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the normal schools and
the state university.
Among the bills which died were
the deaf and dumb school bill; the
executive budget bill; the motion pic
ture censorship bill; the workmen's
compensation act commission bill and
practically all the measures for the
purpose of reforming the election laws.
The educational code bills also failed
of passage and at the last minute bill
creating a commission to revise and
codify the school laws was rushed

1t won't be long until the fans will

mer however, if plans formulated at
Superior are carried out for they are

practically the same operations as con-
constructing a cement sidewalk The
ground has to be dug out for foot or
two in depth to get down to a solid
base. Then a ten-ton roller rolls the
excavation. Boards are then placed
around the sides blocking off 25-
foot square at time; a concrete mixer
next fills each space, and form, pass
ed over the surface, gives the cement
it's final shape. Then the same process
is followed with the next 25-foot space
Work is expected to begin shortly.
The mixer pours about 500 feet of road
a day, and thirty days ought to be
enough to complete the job. However,
everything has to be in readiness be-
ofer the start is made. Things might
be started at once, but it is deemed ad-
visable to wait until everything is ready
to handle the entire job, and avoid the
fate of the Miami road, which delayed
shipments kept torn up and in bad
shape waiting for the needed concrete.
The Hayden -Winkelman road is ex-
pected to cost about $4,000 per mile.
The road will be similar to the five
miles of highway being constructed be-
tween Globe and Miami, of which about
a mile and a half of excellent surface
have already been laid.
A road between Hayden and Hayden
Junction is also contemplated to be
constructed by Pinal County.

SHELTER MAY
NOT HAVE TEAM
THIS SEASON

HAYDEN, AriZ., March 9-On opin-
ion which has been rapidly gaining
ground here, to the effect that the
Smelter would have no ball team this
year, seems to be we'll founded; and,
unless later developments show to the
contrary, we are evidently going to be
minus a club which has done much
good work in past years. Authorita-
tive information gives the reason for
this as the efforts of the other teams
in the league to secure high priced
Smelter boys do not feel called upon
to meet Mr.. r. B. Green, Superintend-
ent of the Smelling Company, in tele-
phone conversation Monday, made the
following statement:
"Our boys, if they want baseball, have
to circulate a petition and come
through with certain subscriptions at
Hayden. The mill men have had their
meeting, and have raised so much
money that we cannot see them for
smoke They have fixed a sum that
we can't hold a candle to. Our boys
are not very enthusiastic over the
prospect. We have smaller force and
a number of our employees are married
men, and the necessity of digging up
$40 apiece which would have to be
done, they cannot quite see. 1t looks
very much as though we would not
have team. 1 am willing to give the
baseball, but if they can't start on the
same basis as the mill, they feel they
had better not begin. We hear that
the mill is offering men two and three
hundred dollars a month, and we con-
not see that price. If the season starts
the first of May our boys would have
to get busy right now, and I doubt
very much if they are going to do so."
1t is also stated that no meeting of
yet taken place, and that no club has
been organized, but that certain author
tiles elsewhere are being communicated
with, to see if needed support for the
club will be forthcoming from them.
On their reply, which has not been re-
ceived to date, seems to hang the ques-
ton of whether there will be Smelter
team or not.

board of supervisors at their meet
ing this week ordered the county
engineer to secure estimates on the
probable cost of the proposed road
