Nine jurors had been examined when court took a recess at o'clock yesterday and it is believed that the examination of jurors and selection of twelve men to serve will be accom- plished before the morning recess.
 The action is the outgrowth of an accident which occurred at the mine properties near Wickenburg on Febru- ary "A, 1918, when Whitten claims be was permanently disabled. He alleges that he fell a distance of 50 feet into shaft in which a pumping plant was located, striking rocks, timber and debris which caused injury to his spinal column. He is asking $20,O0O and an additional $1,200 for medical aid.
 The defendant company claims that the accident was caused by negligence and carelessness on the part of the plaintiff. It is stated that converse = tions in which Whitten is said to have taken all the blame will be repeated on the witness stand. Colonel E. w. Get ting, secretary of the company, and Charles E. Nathorst manager, are in the city at present and probably will be called as witnesses for the defense Walton and Gavin represent the plain tiff, and George Purdy Bullard, the de- fepSe

MINING MEN PRAISE GO[F LINKS AT THE
 SAN MARCOS HOTEL

The most notable event of the past week at San Marcos hotel at Chandler, perhaps, was the meeting of the Ari- zona chapter of the mining congress on Monday which was attended by practically a. of the leading mining men of the state. Most of the mem bers arrived on Saturday and found time for a round or two of golf on the San Marcos links.
 And speaking of the links, a recent arrival from California, after playing a game said, We people in California have no idea you have such links in Arizona. Why, we have two courses in Santa Barbara, but they don't con- pare in excellence with yours!" So pardon us if we feel little chesty this week.
 A number of people at the hotel are taking up golf this winter for the first time, and both Harry Collis and his assistant, who in his seaman's uniform arrived on Thursday, have their hands more than full with lessons. And, by the way, if it isn't something of a sight to see a real professional in a sailors blouse and flowing trousers ambling with a deep-Sea salts roll in his gait go ambling along the fair green after the little white ball, come out and take a look
 The light horse squadron, which up till now has been almost too light to l suit Bill Huggeft, our guide, philoso- | pher and friend, is taking on in mum | bers and is now only second to golf in popularity with the San Marcos guests. Motoring always has it's adherents at the hotel. On Thursday Gordon Law and mother returned from a three days trip to Globe, and several trips have been taken to nearer points of interest, including the Casa Grande Sacaton and San Tan.
 The most popular sport right now with the kiddies at the San Marcos is gardening. So far, Skip Mitchell, witt his real beds of vegetables and flowers is far in the lead. But then, Skip re- ceived recently a full equipment O hoe, rake, shovel and such from hi. father, Major Mitchell, U. s. A, whicf naturally has been an incentive fo most tremendous labors.

TILE GRAVITY TO LOWER RFACE
 WATER |S PLAN
System Proposed To City Commission Is Said Would Cost Less Than Pump
 ing Plants In Operating

Installation of a tile gravity drainage system to lower the ground water level in the city of Phoenix, instead ot the system employing power pumping units, was advocated yesterday morn ing in the report on the ground water situation presented to the city oommls- sion by City Engineer L. B. Hitchcock and Hiram Phillips, consulting engl- neer, through City Manager V A. Thompson. Action on the report was deferred, after a general discussion.
 The two engineers, in preparing the report presented yesterday, spent sev- eral months in making a thorough re- search into the matter, visiting Ros- well, N. NJ, and studying the drainage system used in the Salt River Valley and the effect of pumps used in this city.
 The report draws attention to the fact that the city water works wells, 200 feet deep, have no effect on the lowering of the ground water level, while a well 50 feet deep lowers 1t. showing that so great is the amount of water at great depth that it cannot be lowered except by pumping from a lesser depth.
 Lower One Foot Year
 According to the report, the ground water level in the city of Phoenix is now seven feet below the surface of the ground, rise of one and third feet year for the last 15 years. It is desired to lower this level to a point F feet below the surface, although, as the ground water situation is not critical, it is planned to do so by lowering the level one foot each year, and draining off the yearly increase, for five years.
 The gravity drainage system pro- posed in the report would cost $125.000, somewhat more than the power pump ing system previously considered. On the other hand, the report points out that the gravity system, with mini mum grade of I per cent, would cost less than $1,000 year to operate, while the pumping system, in upkeep, would cost about s30O00 yearly.
 The tile drainage plan, the report ad- vocates, lowering the water level foot year for five years, would require a yearly removal of 53,000,000 gallons of water.
 | Much Less to Operate The report points out that the drain age system favored in the report would have the much needed feature of also furnishing an outlet for storm waters, without making it combination drain ago and storm water project To this end, the laterals of the tile system are provided for 100 ner cent larger than required for the drainage project.
 In comparing the gravity system now proposed, with the pumping system formerly thought of, the report points out that the former is ample for the needs of the water level lowering pro- Ject while the latter would yield twen- ty times as much water as the gravity system. The pumping system, with its large cost of operation, is reported as being more an irrigation than a drain age proposition.
 The gravity system would be in. stalled with about fifty thousand fee
 of tile drainage pipes of varying size : with 130 manholes. Its cost of install. !, lation would exceed by s25,00 tn, !! amount of bonds issued for the projec some months ago.

HE WOULD BE HOSTAGE. WHILE PARTNER GOES
 FUR MONEY FUR FINES

W. L. Green told Judge Stanford yesterday that if he would allow John Devine to go to Miami to procure the $100 needed by each to pay their fines for violation of the liquor law, and he did not return, he would serve time for them both. The court had just sen- fenced the two men to 39 days in the county jail, dating from December A. and fined them $100, or as many days when Green stepped before the judge and said Let Devine go after the money. If he does not come back I'll serve both sentences"
 The court, however, advised the Miami miners to try to arrange their affairs by long distance.
 Devine and Green appeared in court yesterday to change their former plea of not guilty to guilty of transport ing liquor. They asked to be permitted to make a statement before the pass ing of sentence.
 They told of being in Needles where they met a man who told them of a whiskey order of four cases which was to be taken off the train at Glendale. They were talked into taking the liq- uor off the train at Glendale on the promise that a man by the name of Cooper would take them to Miami in his automobile for their trouble. The liquor, they said, belonged to Cooper and they had no knowledge of the brand of whiskey which was packed in four suit cases.
 Tt was not ours and we did not have the slightest financial interest in it. they declared
 Cooper did not meet them, but he was later taken into custody and held for a day, according to their story They said that Cooper made them the promise that if it came to a showdown he would admit that he was the one to claim the real guilt" Cooper is SUD- | posed to be somewhere in Miami.

temperature or pressure and wherein
the rate of flow may be increased
with an increase of pressure and
uniform or graduated opening may
be provided for the same drop in
temperature between that correspond
ing to the pressure of the steam and
the temperature of the water of con-
densation entering the trap.
