THE HOME TOWN

Many argue that in time practically all merchandis ing will be done by mail from few great cities They contend that this is the economical method Some SO ciasts who believe in the three fundamental principles of Karl Marx socialism, take this view of the trend of the times. The three fundamental principles referred to are-rent is wrong. interest is wrong profit is wrong.
 Well, inasmuch the large city department stores and mail order houses private enterprises not owned by the people, not part of great commercial system in cooperative commonwealth, why not keep rents and profits at home!
 The habtual mail order patron is too often like the gambler-he is forever talking of his winning but says nothing of his losses The one bargain offsets hundred disappointments. The lost time. the unsatisfactory goods the article he had to return at his expense the repairs on shipments damaged in transit the patching he has done the unlocked for heavy freight charges a with effort forgotten in contemplation of the ONE article that is just good perhaps re better than he really expected it to be- Like the who thinks he is benefited by the panacea bought from the street medicine vendor he is surprised to find that he got something for his money.
 The gambling instinct is inherent with every body and this very fact accounts for the fascination that mail order buying has for most folks.
 That the farmers the most liberal patrons of the outside is prevalent and mistaken idea Mer chants often do not practice what they preach-he gro sends away for dry goods while the hardware dealer sends away for furniture and the wives of both belong some soap club.

HUMAN SKELETON UNEARTHEO
 NEAR YUMA SIDEWALK

YUMA, Jan. 15-A human skeleton
 was unearthed yesterday at the cor ner- of Fifth street and First avenue, just back of the residence of Frank Hodges. The grewsome discovery was the result of the cleaning up of Yuma sidewalks. Workmen were scraping a sand bank off the walk, which is owned by E. F. Sanguinette, when they thought they would remove a pine board which had been protrud- ing from the bank for a long time andt noticed by many The board proved to be part of a decayed box in which was a human skeleton, ap- parently that of a man Not more than two feet of earth covered the box. So aged were the remains that the bones fell apart at the touch of the spade. The body had been buried with its head southwest and feet northeast, indicating that no GUS tom had been observed in the inter- ment. Near the place. to the east. there was once a cemetery. The body had evidently been resting there for the past forty years or more. -s.-,

BANKS PREVENTED

PHOENIX, Jan. 14-Trust com panies and banks that practice before probate courts in the capacity of ex- ecutors and administrators are to have their fields of operations limited, if the Maricopa County Bar Associa- tion recommendation is given favora- ble consideration by the state legisla- ture. At a recent meeting the legis- lative committee of the association adopted a resolution favoring the en- actment of law which prohibits oth- CT than licensed attorneys from prac- ticing in probate courts. and prohibit ing trust companies from acting as executors and administrators. An other measure recommended makes it unlawful for other than regularly qualified lawyers to draw deeds. con- veyancing realty.

 WONDERFUL FIELD

FL PASO, Jan. 14-Volney B. Leon- nd has just returned from a isit to
 he mining camp of Dos Cabezas, Ariz., where he inspected a number of properties with view to investment
 Dos Cabezas presents an example of thorough confidence on the part of the developers of the camp" stated Mir. Leonard. There are corlpara- lively few corporations operating iD Dos Cabezas. Most of the properties are being operated in a small way. I might say, by the prospectors end miners. They display the mos, un- usual confidence in their properties, because they have the formation min
 IFS like and they are making money.
 The railroad platform at Dos Cabe- zas was covered with sacked ore when was there waiting for cars. This particular lot of ore came from a prop crty adjoining the Mascot mine owned Ted Waughtel. l looked at some of this ore, and while 1t averages 1 to per cent copper, some of its streaks runs way up to 40 or 50 per cent.
 James Demorest sold out one of his properties a couple of months ago to MT. Peterson, a Goldfeld capital ist, at pretty stiff price, but not withstanding this. Peterson has enough ore on the dump awaiting shipment to pay the entire purchase price of the mine, it is reported"
 While in Arizona Mir. Leonard nego- tiated several large cattle loans. and says that Arizona has proven his best field, as the loans made in Arizona are based on high quality of stock, and the borrowers generally have an liberal margin of equity.

PHOENIX, Jan. 1.-The hearts of score of good democrats were set at rest yesterday morn .I.r on the re- ceipt of intelligence from Washington relating to the final settlement of the controversy over the office rendered vacant by the death of Register Thos F. Weedin last summer. The contes, of the candidates for this office was almost unprecedented, both for the number of candidates and the whole hearted vigor with which they work. ed.
 John l.. Irwin, long time resi- dent of, this valley, and said to be one of the most competent land men in the list of candidates, was the protege of Henry F. Ashurst, the junior senator. The appointment was said to belong to the elder sen ator. Mir. Smith, but apparently there was settlement of differences with the result that Irwin received the en- dorsement Df the senators.
 John J. Bidno, receiver of the of flee, has been constantly on the job since the death of his conferee. In spite of his best licks. the work has piled up. for there are some things that must receive the attention of duly qualified bearer of the title of register. For this reason. Mir. Bird no hailed the appointment with con siderable satisfaction.
 Irwin is said to be endorsed by the majority of the land attorneys prac- ticing for the ofiice.

ARIZONA LEADS
 ALL IN HAY CROP

According to figures published by the United States department of agri culture. the total crop value of the agricultural products of Arizona is es- timated to be sls.S26.OOO for the year 1916. The government bases it's es- innate upon data obtained from field agents and crop reports on thirteen standard farm crops, which in the 1909 census represented in Arizona B per cent of the total product, and it is upon this basis that the above figures are obtained.
 The Maricopa farm bureau finds some other interesting figures in con nection with the year-end report of the department. It finds that the aver age yield of hay last year for all the states was l 64 tons to the acre. while the yield in Arizona was 3.s0 tons It is of still further interest to find that this is the highest average yield per acre of any of the states.
 Arizona has never claimed to be much of corn state, but the acre yield was thirty-fve bushels to the acre. and the average of all the states was PA.
 Dec. 1 of last year the average price of butter for all the states was 34.4 cents per pound. For Arizona it was forty-two cents.

TO INSTALL CHuRN
 DRILLS AT SOUTHLAND

SOUTHLAND, Jan. 1.-Two churn drill outfits reached Courtland this week for the Needles company. One rig arrived Tuesday and another on the next train.
 With two diamond drills on the Great Western ground, one of which has been working two months. and the two churn drills on the Leadv file group. knowledge of the mineral situ- ation at greater depths than has been explored heretofore, should soon be available to the interested parties.
 Though some drilling has been done in the camp, it was not carried on 10 my considerable extent. A diamond drill was used by the c. and A. com pany on the April Fool claim before he deal for the purchase was com pleted.
 The Boston Courtland then organiz-
 and brought in a shot drill that rcrked a short time on bonded prop erty. but work was not of satisfac- tory nature and the company dropped out Of existence The Copper Queen company put down a hole a short depth from one of the underground levels of one of the properties then held by them under bond, but this was another hole that was abandoned early. The Great Western next used churn drill on several of their claims. but did not go below the 800 level. and in fact many of the holes were for the purpose of aiding in the ventilation of underground level
 Aside from three shafts, the April Cool, Germania and Cyclone. no work ings in the camp that have gone below he 400 foot level. and these three are town but little more than 800 feet.
