diately. Announcement to this effect
was made this week by the Pinal
county highway commission, follow
ing the sale of the bonds.
Powell, Garard & Co. of Chicago

terest and premium of $4,000. Pro-
ceeds from the sale of the bonds are
to be paid over to the county highway
commission in four installments Of
$250.00O each within one year unless
the bonding house should elect to take

they may do under the terms of the
sale
Feeling confident that the sale of
the bonds would be made as per their
agreement with Powell -Garard, the
highway commission has gone ahead
with road survey and other road plans

the board of supervisors, the bonds
fare to be dated Nov. 1, 1919, and are
to mature serially at the rate of $780,

The seventh and eighth were also

swings, but the majority Of them fell
on Pena's shoulders or were caught
on his gloves. Pena's ear by this time
was considerably larger.
In the ninth Pena cut loose with a

two to one. When the bell sounded
both boys were mixing it furiously in
the center of the ring. The judges,
Harry Mitchell and S. G. Dolman, de-
cided in favor of Pena, and the de-
cision was well received by the fans.
The Preliminaries
The first preliminary brought to-
gether the two little lads kid" Whit
low and Tommy McCarty, both boys
appearing here in the previous bout.
kid" Whitlow again issued a chal-
lenge to meet any boy II years old,
weighing 81 pounds. It Is our opinion
that he will do we'll to get the deci-
sion over Tommy in the next fight.
Little Tommy McCarty is going to
make whale of fighter when he
gets little larger.
In the six-round special, Smiling"
Parker Of Miami was given the deci-
sion over Eddie" Doyle of Phoenix
Doyle was a trifle heavier than Par
ker, but he swung himself off his bal
ance so often that he enabled Parker
to follow him up and land some solid
punches. In the third Doyle connect
ed with Parker's chin, and Parker for
got to. smile the remainder of the
round. This is Parker's second ap-
pearance here; he having stopped Jake
Etaiger in the fifth round IN the pre-
vious fight.
Bill Hill. refereed the two prelitn-
inaries, while Billy Rittenhouse of Su-
perior was the third man in the ring
for the main event.
There is world Of credit due R. A.
Cook and c. H. Tonneau, the promot-
ers, for the clean-cut manner in which
they have handled the fights here. No
expense has been, spared in giving
the public the best that was obtain
able, and there was no reason why
every seat in the house should have
not been filled. All Of the bouts staged
by them have been a credit to the box
ing game, and should have received
the full-fledged support OF all fistic-
loving fans.

PIONEER, dies AT
PHOENIX HOSPITAL

Jacob Bates, for many years one
of the most prominent residents of
the Ray district, died at St Joseph's
hospital, Phoenix, on Friday, Novem-
ber, 81, following an operation for
appendicitis, performed three. days
previous.
In the death of Mr. Bates, the Ray
district loses one of the pioneers of
the camp and one of the best-known
citizens of the county. Arriving in
Ray with the first of the promoters
Of the old English company, Mr..
Bates made his home in this district
until two years ago, when he re-
moved to Phoenix. Long before Ray
was established he operated livery
stable and stage line at Kelvin.
Mr.. Bates was throughout his resi-.
dence in this district interested in
mining, having grub-staked many
prospectors, tut was never fortunate
in obtaining any great amount Of
money for his holdings. His most
notable venture was the acquiring,
with his partner, C. F. Schilling, of
the Emden claim in the heart of
Sonora. Mr.. Bates still retained ex-
tensive interests in this district at
the time of his death.
Mr.. Bates was native of Mis-
souri,, 81 years Of age. Some nine
years ago he married Mrs. Julia
Allen, who with a little adopted
daughter, Caroline, survives. There
is also sister residing at Tempe,
and other. brothers and sisters in
Missouri.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
afternoon at Phoenix from the J. T.
Whitney chapel Burial was made in
Greenwood cemetery, the services be-
ing under the auspices of the Phoe-
nix lodge of Flks, Mr.. Bates having
been a member of the Globe lodge
Of this order.
Mr.. Bates was known to everybody,
and everyone that knew him liked
him. He will be missed by the many
people in Ray who formerly knew
him, and the Copper Camp, in con-
junction with his friends, extend to
Mrs Bates and her daughter their
sympathy. ~.,~

Business District and Washed Out
Roads in Ray District

Swollen beyond it's banks by a cloud
burst Mineral creek went on one of
its characteristic rampages Sunday
afternoon and evening, flooding the
streets and roads in the canyon. A
terrific downpour Of hail, the stones
being of mammoth size, was a pecul-
lar feature of the storm.
Sundays downpour was preceded by
high wind and proved one of the
most severe ever seen in this district.
All the creeks and gulleys were rush
ing torrents, stones and boulders be-
ing carried down by the floods. Some
of the hailstones were one and half
inches in thickness, and lasted for
a considerable, time.
) A party Of young folks from Ray
who had motored to Hayden were
held up by the storm at Kelvin, it be-
ing necessary wait until evening be-
fore the swollen streams receded suf-
ficiently to allow fording.
Floods at Phoenix

storm, the center of the area being
west of Ray some distance. At Phoe-
nix where 122 inches of water fell,
floods inundated the northwestern
portion of the city, and for time men
aced the state capital grounds. The
fair grounds were flooded. The rail-

night SCHOOLS
TO,BE STARTED
FOR SONORANS

At recent meeting of the board
Of trustees of the Ray schools it
was decided to start night school in
the town of Sonora for the purpose
of teaching the Mexican people how
to read and write the English Ian
guage.
The schools will be conducted un-
der the supervision of Mr.. L. J.
Oakes, and the teachers will be Miss
Estella Lee and Miss Mildred Kerns.
Both of the young ladies, who will
conduct the work in Sonora and have
offered their services, are peculiarly
fitted and qualified to obtain excel
lent results owing to their previous
experience.
The citizens of Sonora thoroughly
appreciate this action on the part of
the board, as many of them among
the older people have a desire to
learn this language, hut owing to
working cannot go to school in day
time.
The board of trustees are to be-
commended for this action, as it will
be excellent benefit to both the chill
dren and the older persons in So
nora.

RAY LACY RETURNS
after MORE Than
3 YEARS SERVICE

Ray Lacy, one of the old-time boys
about Ray and one of the first to en-
ter the military service in the world
war, entered the British army in
the royal air force in October, 1916,
taking an active part in the flying
at the front with much success until
he had bad fall from plane, which
temporarily put him out of action
until September, 1918, when he joined
the United States air forces. The
injury from the fall would not per-
nit him to fly and he was placed
in the ordnance branch, until the end
of the war. The injury to his leg
began to bother him again and it was
found necessary to perform second
operation at San Francisco, and Mr.
Lacy has only been discharged from
the hospital about five weeks. His
friends in Ray are all glad to see
him back again and all hope for his
speedy recovery.

Ten Rounds Of Steady Mill
ing Are Appreciated By
Small Audience of Ray
Fans Prelims Please
Nightly; Clean Cut Box
ing For Ray.

In the fight held at the Iris last Sat
urday night Young Pena was awarded
the decision over Ralph DeMott OF
the 18th Infantry, Douglas, after ten
rounds of steady milling, both boys
finishing strong. 1t was by far the
best bout so far staged by the Ray
Athletic club and was full of thrills
throughout, with nifty exhibition of
clean breaking on the part of De-
Mott.
The crowd fell short of expectations
tut those who witnessed the bout pro-
claimed it the banner bout Of the sea-
son. DeMott, a sturdy. looking indi-
vidual with a concrete jaw, entered
the ring at 1928 and was quickly fol-
lowed by Pena. Pena received a
great ovation when he was presented
by Bill Hill, who introduced both box
ers..
The first round was even, both box
ers being content to feel each other
out. DeMott was the first to lead with
his left, repeating a moment later.
Pena landed two light swings to the
head. DeMott scored with his left,
and missed two swings to the head.
Pena landed with right and missed
with left. They fell into short
clinch. Both fought cautiously and
did not extend themselves.
The second round, DeMott finding
that Pena's blows had but little steam
behind them, dropped his guard and
devoted himself to infghting, playing
for Pena's wind. At infghting De-
Mott proved himself far superior to
his adversary, while at long range
work Pena clearly had the edge.
Pena's ability to hit from any angle
enabled him to score more often. This
was Pena's round by shade.
The third and fourth were also
Pena's by a slight margin. In the
fourth Pena opened a cut over De-
Motifs right eye, causing the blood to
flow a little. At infghting DeMott
landed several wicked uppercuts to
the mid-section. which caused Pena to
Vince. Pena's exhibition of blocking
was very clever, few Of DeMott's
blows taking effect
There was little change in the sixth.
DeMott swung a hard right to Pena's
ear. There was considerable might
ing throughout the round, with De-
Mott having the advantage.
