A GOOD OPPORTUNITY

The State Highway, that magnificent road from Bis
bee to Tombstone, has been located by survey all the
way Tombstone, excepting about three hundred feet
of the end of the route This land desired belongs
to Mrs Mary Costello Bunker Hill Mining Company E.
p & S. w. Railway Company, Mrs. Lizzie Hasselgreen
and Mrs. H. H. Bragg. The merit of securing this land
lies in the fact that by passing it nice easy grade
with light curve off Of Allen Street onto Fremont can
be secured and makes what might he termed beautiful
turn into town. This little strip of land is desired of
the Aforementioned people and owing to the effect it
will have from many angles in securing it for the ter

parcels Of land through which the right of will pass
donate such right of in honor of the Old Camp and
the completion of the best natural roadway in the
Already the Bunker Hill Mining company, through Dr.
f. Grebe has donated the big end of this desired right
of and it believed that of consideration for the
Old Camp and for the bettement of the state highway

MINING MEANS MUCH TO ARIZONA

When person looks through the Arizona papers
for items showing industrial activity is struck will
the fact that the majority of items pertain to the mining
industry.
This is the most convincing proof that mining is the
states great industry and for this Arizona cti
should consider well any measures conditions
which tend to discourage its expansion.
The mines employ thousands of laborers at good
wages encourage development of electrical energy
large quantities of lumber support numerous other in
dustres in the state and last but not least carry the
heavier share of the tax burden
Policies which encourage mining in Arizona are fol
the best interest of the state at large.

CURED in the Superior Court this
when the special venire
of jurors reported in court which
convened this morning for the
clearing OF the criminal calendar.
As the jury were being sworn
in for duty on the panel. a num-
Der of jurors from Douglas re-
ported to the Court that a GER

Schwamm by name. was on the
panel and they could and would

the jury. Judge Lockwood stated
that he had a very unpleasant
duty to perform. but under the
circumstances he believed it ne

the Bar. whereupon the following
conversation took place:
The Cour; said: "Mr. Schwamm

peared before me and stated that

Now. l want to do justice. and
will give you an opportunity to
explain the matter, II you think
you can.
Mr.. Schwamm thereupon stated
that he was in debt to the Ba~x
OF oour.as to the amount Of about
$4,000; that part Of this indebt-
edness was over due and that
the Bank Of Douglas had been
asking him for payment. and that
he failed to subscribe because
he was not able to raise the mon
ey.
Judge Lockwood then stated
to him, that 1t was a well known
fact to the Court. and to procti-
cally every one in Douglas, that
he was worth anywhere from
100000 up. and asked him
whether he had subscribed to
the First and Second Liberty
Loans. He replied that he had
not subscribed to the First, but
MAD taken one S5o.oV bond in the
Second.
The Court then asked him II
it was not true that he was living
In a house worth from $1e,ee9
to 100000. and he replied that
he was. but that the house was
in his wife's name. whereupon
the Court asked him IL the rest
Of his property was in his wife's
name, and Mr.. Schwamm replied
that it was not.
The Court then made the fol-
