PRTSON AT YUMA:
WHADDYE MEAN?

Word comes from Phoenix saying
that Governor Campbell will give his
early attention to the conditions ct
the state penitentiary at Yuma. 1t is
said a searching investigation is to
be made Of the manner of operating
this institution. The policies inaug-
urated at the prison of the state has
cost the democratic party many votes
and constitute one of the causes for
the waning popularity of the Hunt ad-
ministration.-Doug International.
Fine and dandy, Major, but the
prison has been located farther up
the Gila river 10 these many moons.
And Yuma has almost forgotten that
it ever had the pen. However, now
that the war is over the controversy
might be revived. Florence and Yuma
papers please copy.

WILL ASK FOR NEW
BUILDINGS FOR THE
STATE UNIVERSITY

TUCSON.-The coming session Of
the legislature, which convenes in
Phoenix on January 13, will be asked
for an additional dormitory for
women at the University of Arizona,
new dormitory for men, a new
science building as an addition to the
library building. These recomnfenda-
tions were made public by a member
of the board of regents, after having
been presented to the regents by DR.,
R. B. Won KleinSmid, president of the
university The need of the additional
buildings is keenly felt owing to the
crowded condition of the university
at the present time and the demands
that are certain to be made upon it's
facilities in the next two years.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE
URGED TO DEMAND
PATENTS ON CLAIMS

The Oatman, Arizona, Mining News
contains an interview with A. J. Miller
Of Cincinnati, O., which is worthy of
widest publicity and the most careful
consideration. The interview says:
"The article in the News few
eeks ago regarding the urgent ne
cessity of patenting mining claims
should be read by every stockholder
in Oatman," said A. j. Miller, of Gin
cinati, who is himself interested in
several Oatman properties
Bitter experience has proven that
it does not pay to take a chance on
holding mining claims by assessment
work, relocating etc. That is ali right
as long as times are dull and no dis
coveries are made, but once rich ore
is discovered on the property or in the
vicinity, contests adverse suits and
conflicts are sure to arise.
There are many cases on record,
in California, in Colorado and in
Alaska where valuable mining prop
critics have been lost to original own
ers through failing to patent or to
take proper steps leading up to pat
ent. The facts are that the average
owner of mining claims does not do
the required amount of assessment
work annually. He gets by with a
few shots put into a tunnel or gopher
hole the last week in December, and
this is all right as long as no one
wants the ground.
but when a rich strike is made
near by, he will find a contest made,
a mineral inspector delving into the
records and a law suit results which
is expensive even if not fatal. The
same condition prevails in the case
of property held by mining companies
not actively operating.
"It does not pay to take any
chances. Once the ground is covered
by u. S patents, the stockholder may
rest secure in the knowledge that he
owns an interest in something tangi
BILE. 1t behooves every stockholder
in any mining company anywhere to
see to it that a patent is secured for
the property, and the wise investor OF
speculator will make this u prime
requisite before placing his money in
& mining venture"

RODEO AT BALL PARK
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

The rodeo held at the ball park last
Sunday was a success, although only
small crowd attended. Some very
clever exhibitions in roping and
bronco-busting contest were given by
Frank Cain. A prize of $25 was Of
fered in this event. The bulldog ty-
ing contest, for which three prizes
were offered, was won by A. T. Har-
ris, Frank Brundage and Nate Brun-
dage; the prizes were $40, $40 and
$40. The wild mule riding contest
without saddle or bride was won by
Tex Craig, who received prize OF
500 in this event The goat tying con-
test was won by Wurth Belama OF
Superior, first; Phil Redondo, second,
and Frank Cain, third. The wild pony
races were won by Frank Cain and
Carl Lynch. The mule-roping contest
was won by Nate Brundage, who
roped the Missourian in one minute
seven and one-half seconds. The
creased pig contest, which proved a
very interesting and exciting event
was won by Frank Winsor. The Ray
Con- band furnished music for the oc'
casion.

GADSDEN CROSSCUT
MAY BE NEAR ORE

JEROME.-For the last 80 or 40
feet the northwest crosscut from the
120O-foot station in the Gadsden shaft
has been in yellowish and grayish
quartz alive with iron pyrite. Though
there is no copper in the formation.
the general showing is by far the
most encouraging yet encountered at
the Gadsden Ore is often found en-
cased by just such bodies of quartz.
This accounts for the stimulated de.
mand for Gadsden stock.
The striking of this quartz is not
the only good news from the Gads'
den, however For some days the flow
of water, which for time threatened
to flood the workings, has been di-
minishing. Two weeks ago the pumps
were handling 400 gallons a minute
since then the flow has decreased
about 100 gallons. Apparently the
country is being drained.

FAIR PRICE LIST
NOW SUSPENDED

County Food Administrator W. e..
Mullen advises that the fair price list
of food commodities has been sus-
pended. This, and many other restric-

of the end of the world war. How
ever, this order is not to be done
away with entirely, and any person
who thinks that he is over-charged
may appear before the fair price COM
mittee, which may require any mer-
chant accused of gprofiteering to ap-
pear before it.

RAY SCHOOLS TO
OPEN AGAIN MONDAY

After an enforced vacation of many
weeks the schools of the Ray district
will open next Monday morning, Jan
uary 9Th. Permission for the opening
of the schools here has been given by
DR.. Carson, it being believed the in
fluenZa epidemic having so far as this
district is concerned, apparently run
it's course, although there are still sew,
eral cases Of influenza in camp. Just
how long it will be possible for the
schools to continue their sessions, or
whether it will be necessary to again
close will depend entirely upon wheth-
er or not the epidemic reappears here
as it has done in some other places.
Miss Coons and Mrs. Sweeney have
resigned their positions as teachers Of
the colOred school ard the Sonora
school AS yet no one has been en-
ployed to take their places. Mrs P.
B. Blinkhorn, nurse at the Sonora
school, has also resigned her position.
Supt. Cakes, who returned this week
from Los Angeles, where he spent the
holidays, stopped off in Phoenix to
visit the United States Indian school
there and to study the methods used
by Uncle Sam in educating his wards.
New dictionaries and maps, as well
as several new additions to the library
are among the improvements made at
the Lincoln high school recently.

COLODNY WANTS
"BACK SALARY

TUCSON.-Asking the legislature
to recognize the claim of Isidor Col
odny for back salary for time which
he did not serve as instructor at the
university as a moral obligation, the
board of regents at their session on
Saturday passed a resolution petition
ing the legislature to pass bill for
the relief Of the erstwhile professor.
No attempt was made to make an ap-
preparation of the amount claimed by
Colodny out of university funds. The
claim is more than a year old and
could not be paid by the auditor in
any event.

START WORK ON
STOCKADE FOR
PRISON CAMP

SUPERIOR.-Con work on
a stockade for the convict camp which
is to be established at an early date
at Superior is to begin at once. Chas.
Birdno, brother of the late John
Birdno, will be in charge of construc-
ton work on the stockade, and is
already on the job.
The stockade will be 15Ox150 feet
and will accommodate more than 200
men. A similar stockade was con-
structed on the Clifton-Morenci road
and it was occupied by ITO men, leav-
ing plenty of room for many more.
From Phoenix comes the report
that the stockade will be completed
and that early in the new year force
in the canyon.
A good camp has been established
on the site of the proposed stockade;
the road has been resurveyed where
a change of route was found necessary
and after the stockade is erected
everything will be in readiness for
actual construction work on the high
way
This will be one Of the most i'm
portant thoroughfare3 in Arizona. 1t
will shorten the distance between
Phoenix and Globe Miami two and
one-half hours, and will put Superior
within two hours ride of Globe and
Ia short three hours ride from Phoe-
nix Practically all the travel between
the Salt River valley and the Globe
Miami district will be over this high
way. 1t will be worth mine or two
to Superior.
The Apache trail is to be main
tanned, but it will be used chiefly by
tourist travel and by pleasure parties,
who will loop the loop, which means
that they will make the complete cir
cult, passing over both the Apache
trail and the Superior state highway.

men are indignant, not because Of
competition, but by reason of annoy
arce from complaints filed by custom
ers alleging packages missing. Stores
have the same complaint. Parked au-

being counted to the good by the
thieves. The police have been unable
to get in touch with the gang that is
evidently carrying on the operation.

MAGMA1|c COPPER
MAY RESUME SOON

SUPERIOR. = Representative Jim
Goodwin has been in from Tempe
looking after the interests of Magma
tic Copper, Of which he is president
and one of the heaviest stockholders.
Goodwin is very optimistic over the
outlook in the copper world and feels
confident that Superior will witness
wonderful activity during the next
few years. He is making every en-
deavor to put Magmatic back in the
active line, it being necessary to sink
q shaft in order to get to the sulphide
ore before they can expect to have
ore in large quantities.
The upper workings proved the ore
bodies and the continuity of the vein
from the surface to tunnel No. 8,
which, on the dip of the vein, is ap-
proximately $50 feet to where the pres
ent shaft is located. The vein Is large,
being from 10 feet to 80 feet in width,
but the copper has been mostly leached
and shows only small amount Of
copper remaining This Is character
istic of this district and merely means
that the copper has been washed
down to a lower level.
In the vein above the third level
has been taken out large lenses of ore
that assay as high as 80 per cent cop
per and there is still remaining a
large tonnage of ore that is too low
grade to ship under the present con-
ditions.

Fishing tackle has suddenly taken a
rise in price due to the demand.

The demand was primarily caused by
an order from the prohibition depart
ment to the police. The order read:
Kindly destroy the barrel and n half
and the twcnty-nine gallons of wine In
your possession and send this depart
ment n receipt"
The offending barrels and jugs of
