bag. and subsequent doines of a l.uique experience to these girls were
 learned yesterday from an acquain- , tance. \ broncho was bought in q
 pasture, saddle placed on it's back,
 and when one of the young ladies got
 aboard the animal made a jump and
 his neck caught in a barbed wire
 fence severing the Jugular vein and
 ii died in its tracks. Ii cost S200 An other was bought later with plenty of
 the loco" weed innoculation and it was ridden to Black canyon on the
 road 10 Prescott. It also had the
 habit of hitting the high places and in one jump went off the ridge and
 fell dead with q broken neck. An
 Indian came to the rescue, however, with fine saddle horse, we'll broken. and it was purchased for $l50 in cash.
 The journey was then resumed to Prescott, but at Dewey they were overtaken by Arnold Birchler, who proved his property and took the
 horse back to its range. He stated that the red man put one over on the pale face. and there was no redress
 So Miss Lillian Lord boarded the train and came into town dismayed but not dishcartened. She now has a fourth broncho. with certified bill of sale as her security, and it also has the pitching habit. These winsome girls are admirers of the country and they are also much admired in bringing back other days as they ride care-free 2Stridc, donned in brown ovcralls
 They also are patriotic, and said yes, tcrday: "All the cowboys are drafted, and we are ready for the range, not for the money that's in it, but for the fun of the thing" They have had up to date six proposals not of marriage, but for range riding.

I TH|CK, BLACK PETROLEUM IN
 CHINO WELL
(From Fridays Dailyl


 \ half gallon of thick, black pctro- leum was brought up out of the well of the United Chino Oil & Refining Company in the Chino valley yester- day afternoon, the strike of the crude oil having been made after the drill had reached point approximately T35 feet below the carth's surface. The mass of oil was encountered quite unexpectedly, Driller Johnson bringing it to the surface when the well was bailed out at the end of the afternoon shift.
 The oil was quite different in char acter from that which has from time 10 time been found in smaller quan- titles as the drilling progressed. Here ;oforc the oil indications have been confined to showingS of a whitish. thin oil, found in the form of small bubbles and usually bursting as soon as they were exposed 10 the air. Yes tcrday's discovery was practically the simon pure petroleum, coming up in a quantity so large as to leave little room for doubt that there IS oil in job lots in the Chino field and re- itlllA kl0 Olt-NN flN NSSNu tAiSOiJ tAteAt volcanic action had long ago burned ont any oil which might at one time have been deposited there.
 The drill is now averaging 30 feet a day. every effort being made to bring in a well as soon as possible. All- stock was taken off the market on Wednesday and at the present time the company IS refusing to dis pose of any of its securities, pending the outcome Of the application for listing the stock on the New York Curb. Word received here last night from the company's main office in Phoenix was to the effect that all of the preliminary arrangements had been made for the listing of the stock. and that there seemed but slight doubt that the stock would be called on that market within the next two weeks. It is also announced that the organization IS now willing to buy back all blocks of stock now held by any individuals who wish to cash in" on their holdings, giving them a price considerably in excess of the amount paid.

SUNS ECLIPSE TO BE SEEN HERE ON
 SATURDAY, JUNE 8

The other reason for the scentihc importance of this eclipse lies in theories out on the frontiers of science. What IS the ultimate nature of matter: Everyone knows what weight is Mass is a technical term less well understood, but we may think of 1t as closely related to weight and proportiOnate to it. Now, one of the most startling conclusions of the 10th century is that an electrical charge, placed upon a body, increases its mass and consequently both its mass and weight. This suggests the possibility that in its ultimate ele- mcnts, matter is of an electrical na- ture. If this becomes an established fact, consequence of 1t would be that Ncwton's law of gravitation would require a slight modification. Einstcin'S dOstrine of relativity as serts that the force Of gravitation be- tween two bodies depends for one thing on whether they are at rest or in motion. Newton's statement of the law oi gravitatiOn asserts that whether two bodies arc at rest or in motion in no way affects the force of eravitatiOn between them. Among other things, the eclipse will possibly furnish an opportunity of testing whether the statement of Newton's law of gravitation must be modified as indicated by Einstein.

HUNT CAN NOW KEEP
 SALARY NOT EARNED

PHOENIX, May 2S-By a vote ot r. to l4 the house this morning re- fused Co adopt a resolution request ing Gov. Hunt 10 pay over to Thomas l.. Campbell the salary drawn by Hunt for the eleven months that Campbell served as governor of the State Included in the fifteen votes against the resolution were several members known to be opposed to Gov. Hunt politically.
 The resolution was introduced by Representatives Coffee and McGrath. both of Grecnlee county, when the house was considering the bill intro duced by Speaker Johns, providing for the payment of salary and court expenses 10 Campbell. The commit tee had reported, recommending that only the salary be paid and not the court expenses oi Hunt, which the Supreme court had assessed against Campbell.
 The resolution introduced by the representatives from Greenlce sets forth that the house recognizes to the fullest extent the truth of the lan- guaee found in Gov. Hunts message to the legislature that "A true Ari- zonan'S sense of fair play leads him To be generous towards his advcr- >ary. It cites the fact that Camp bell served as de facto governor with out salary and without compensation and that Hunt did draw as salary of governor of this State the full amount by law provided as salary towering the period filled by Gov Campbell a. governor oi the State"

VERDE STRIP ID BE INCLUDED IN
 FOREST DOMAIN
PARADISE-VERDE IRRI- CATION DISTRICT MAY HAVE BENEFITS OF BIG STORAGE DAM BUILT BY DEPT. OF INTERIOR.
(From Thursdav's DaiIy.1

Congressman lIavden has advised Chairman William Stephens of the board of supervisors, that Captain George D. Christy, as attorney for the Paradisc-Verde Irrigation Dis trict, has submitted to the United States forest service the following proposal: That the boundaries oi the Prescott and Coconino forests be extended to include all unoccupicd public lands in the so-called Verde strip lying between the Prescott and Coconino national forests. and now constituting . Vcritable no mans land, 10 the end that no further en- tries be made of the pubhc lands in the Camp Verde Basin. and that the basin itself be protected from silt and debriS.2
 IL is the intention Of the Paradise Verde Irrigation District to con struct a reservoir on the Verde river. below Camp Verde. for the storage of water to be used in irrigating a tract of land in Paradise valley, north east of Phoenix. The director of tho United States reclamation service has recommended that the above des- cribcd lands be included within a na- tional forest in order that grazing thereon may be better regulated, with view to preventing erosion and the consequent sitting of the reservoir. The congressman further stated that the chief Of the forest service re- gently wrote him a letter in which he makes the following statement relative to the open strip between the Prescott and Coconino national for estS: The report as originally pre- pared by former Forest Supervisor John D. Guthrie of the Coconino, and
 modified by Forest Supervisor R. F. Marsh and Edward C.. Miller, at pres ent in charge of the Coconino and Prescott forests, respectively, Tccom- mends the addition of all the area known as the Verde open strip, ex- ccpting 3 sections in the northwest crn par; around Clarkdalc and Cot tonwood. l am convinced from the report that unqucstionably the over whelming majority of resident users of the public lands which are recom- nendcd for addition to the forest fla vor the addition. It also appears that lS thc line k drawn in the vicinity of Clarkdale and Cottonwood, there would be relatively little opposition from that quarter
 This matter will be presented in de- all by Chairman Stephens at tonight's Chamber of Commerce meeting. There IS no question but what such proposition would work splendid re- suits for this individual irrigation company, and the Salt river valley, but il would certainly work a hard ship on the homesteaderS in that sec ton of Navapai county as well as the possibility of any fur ther entries being made on this most desirable land In addition to the ac- lion, which will be taken by the Chamber of Commerce this matter will be taken up by the board of su- pervisorS at a special session.

EDITORIAL MAKES SCHMIDT DROP

BUSINESS MAN TIRES OF TEUTONIC AP- RELATION AND GETS A COURT ORDER CHANGING IT TO SMITH.
(From Wednesdays Daiiy0


 Superior Judge Sweeney yesterday afternoon granted permission to Ig- natiuS l.. Schmidt to change his name 10 one less suggestive Of his German parentage, that of Ira Louis Smith. . the change of names having come about after Attorney ]. F. Russell had filed a petition in the Superior court asking that his client be al lowed to cast off name that Smackcd distinctively of the Teutonic Mir Smith, as he will hereafter be known in Prescott, is business man here He is 100 per cent American and was born in this country, although his father and mother were native born Germans. Mir. Smith had not ;hc least sympathy with the German cause He had purchased numerous Liberty Bonds and had made substan- tial donations to the Red Cross and the Y. Al C. \. war work But everywhere he went the hateful German appcllation of Schmidt was at his heels. His friends began to sus- pect that possibly he was a German at heart in spite of the fact that he had subscribed to all of the war bcnevolenccs. He decided to get the courts sanction to an Americanization of his first and last names
 When he appeared before Judge Sweeney yesterday afternoon, that of- iicial asked him for the real reason why he wished to have his name changed.
 Well, your honor,' replied the pc titioncr, lever since the war between the United States and Germany has been going on, my German name has caused me much inconvenience When l was introduced to new friends. they involuntarily shrugged their should CTS and looked aslancc at me when the name of Schmidt was mentioned. | decided that some day l would elim mate the Schmidt
 Then several days ago the Jour nal-AIincr of this city published an editorial in which il advised patriotic Americans to hate everything which looked or sounded like 1t might be of German origin. German names. Ger man cooking, German language, Ger man wares. and in fact everything which seemed to have ever been con nectcd with Germany.

PLACER PROJECT
 OCCASIONING INTEREST
(From Thursdays Oailv)

Since machinery has commenced to
 arrive for the new placer movement
 on Lynx creek. at the wagon road
 crossing. several mining men of this
 locality have been making invcstiga-
 lions of the process of recovery to be
 introduced. with which they are fay
 orably impressed.
 This undertaking has been initiated by George F.. Marshall, of Australia, with whom are California associates All are practical placer people. form !ng q close corporation. T. l.. Wood ruff Is on the ground as supcrinten- dent, and gives d full statement of what IS to be carried out and is par ticularly sanguinc over results, with holding of course one of the main features to be introduced, the intri- cate device for saving gold, whic. Is necessarily guarded.
 As q general placer proposition, however, Mir. Woodruff is very much ciated over this investment, and is making good hcadway in installing the plant and other apparatus The two towers are up, and 1t Is expected that inside of thirty days action will begin. The working system is known as a drag line excavator and is par ticularly applicable to such dry for nations as exist along Lynx creek, in which water is of secondary con- sideration. For this reason the move ment now under headway by the Marshall people appeals favorably to mining men, and it is but reasonable | to anticipate a revolution in this fea- ture of placcring when the new and novel plant is in action.
 Attached to the operating of this there is linked nothing of the hydraulic, dredging or shovel fea- lures, in which water serves the pur- pose. The estimated cost of the works is about S25,000.
