are of red ruffled brick, and present
far better appearance than is usually
associated with buildings of this type.

Some dance, that! The K. P. 'hard

CHICAGO CUBS TO
PLAY AT PHOENIX
NEXT THURSDAY
Alexander to Pitch for Ari-
zona Team in Contest to
be Staged Between Ma
tional League Champs and
War Vets

Ray and Hayden fans are looking
forward with great interest to the
game to be played at Phoenix next
Thursday, April 10, when the Chicago
Cubs, National league champions last
year will play the Phoenix War Vete~-
ans team at Riverside park The
Phoenix War Veterans have developed
a splendid team, and in view of the
fact that Grover Cleveland Alexander
is booked to pitch for the Phoenicians
against his old teammates, a great
game is anticipated Alexander, who
recently arrived home from France is
on his way west to join the Cubs, and
if he joins them at Phoenix, will ap-
pear in the capacity of mound artist
for the Phoenix team Should he fail
to make connections, Vaughn, who
led the national league last year, will
pitch for the Arizona aggregation.
The Chicago Cubs, who have been
in training at Pasadena, will play
only nine games on their way back
to the Windy City, and the first of
these will be at Phoenix. 1t is ex-
pected that the contest will give .Ari-
zonians a chance to observe TO what
extent the Cubs have limbered up
while in California, and thus enable
bulletin-board fans to get line on one
of the most important teams of the
country.
Tickets for the game, which will be
called at Riverside Park next Thurs
day afternoon at 3 o'clock, are said to
be selling rapidly at Phoenix and
tremendous crowd is expected at the
game. Prior to the contest a parade
of the ball players headed by the new
Liberty band of Phoenix, composed of
returned soldiers and sailors, will
take place.
A number of fans from Ray, Hay
den, Superior and Florence are plan
ming to motor over to Phoenix for the
game.

LAND BILL AND
FOUR OTHERS
NOW DEFUNCT !?
Attorney General Advises
Secretary of State That
Emergency Measures Not
Receiving Governors Ap-
proval Are Not Laws Of
State at This Time

Five emergency measures, enacted
by the legislature at it's recent ses-
sion failed to become laws, and are
not laws of the State of Arizona, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered this
week by Attorney General Wiley F..
Jones. The list of bills, none of
which received the approval of the
governor, includes the famous land
bill, over which one of the bitterest
fights of the session developed, and
in which large and small cattlemen
clashed.
The list of measures carrying the
emergency clause, but which were
transmitted to the secretary of state
by Governor Campbell without the
approval of the executive follows:
Senate Bill No. 45-Increasing sal
aries of county officers in counties of
the first and second class.
Senate Bill 9S.-Increasing salary
of state land commissioner and chief
deputy.
Senate Bill 107-Relief Filmer
Bros Electrotype Co.
Senate Bill 166.-Amending statute
resistance of irrigation project bonds.
House Bill 6O.-Amending land code
statute.
In his opinion which was transmit
ted to the secretary of state Thurs
day, the attorney general says in
part:
"That the emergency measures
mentioned in your letter of inquiry
are not laws at this time is plainly
evident is the opinion of this depart
ment.
1T is sufficient to advise you, there
fore, at this time that the emergency
measures to which you have directed
the attention of this department are
not the laws of the State of Arizona
under the Constitution of the State,
nor should you act upon them as such,
for the reason that the Governor Of
the State withheld his approval OF
said measures"

KEEP OFF THE TRACK;
USE NEW BRIDGE

An Improvement heartily appre-
ciated by those who are using the
new Hercules bridge is the footbridge
lately repaired by the Arizona Her
cules Copper company
During the last flood, in August,
the pre-existing footbridge was all but
washed away. Pedestrians thereafter
used the new Hercules bridge, but
found it a little awkward at times to
escape annihilation at the hands Of
ore trains moving along the bridge
Accordingly, on the town side of the
new bridge, a passageway has been
constructed. 1t is thoroughly braced
provided with stout handrail, and
is as neatly constructed as it is eff
cient.
Rayites will find it not only more
convenient, but also far less danger
Gus, to walk along the new footbridge,
instead of across the track.

he might have found that the far

NEW SHAFT At
SILVER KING
STARTS SOON
Financing Of Big Develop
ment Program Means
Work Will Start at Once;
100000 in Values Seen
by Eminent Engineer at
Old Property

Word was received this week from
the east that the extensive develop
ment program adopted some weeks
ago by the Silver King management
had been completely financed and
work of sinking new shaft to a
depth of 1000 feet will begin within
the next few days. The contract for
the new shaft, which will place the
operation of the Silver King on {
highly efficient and profitable basis
has already been let, it is stated.
Recent developments at Silver
King include the discovery of tbs
fact that the dark porphyry on the
400 level runs into good values in
silver. Heretofore the values have
been encountered in the light por
phyry, and the discovery that the
other formation, which is of great
extent, carries practically the same
values, is regarded as highly salts
factory by management and stock
holders.
An eminent mining engineer who
recently completed an examination o1
the Silver King mine corroborated the
belief of many mining men that this
old producer is in a fair way to du
plicate it's performance of years ago
This engineer stated after careful
examination that there is at least 81,
100000 in values capable of being as
certained at this time, and equally
capable of recovery. 1t is for the
purpose of handling! this amount ol
ore and facilitating development op
erations as we'll that the new shaft
is to be rushed to depth of 100i
feet as soon as possible Once thai
is done it is more than probable thai
the other big item on Silver King's
program, namely, the installation o1
a 500-ton mill, will be added without
delay.
