MINES ARE MADE

Once in great while surface deposit of mineral is discovered from which fortunes recovered almost from the grass rOOts Such exceptional how and furnish logical precedent which should gov regular mining operations for is it well known fact that mines made, not found, says the Salt Lake (Utah) Mining Review.
 It is true that crOppings and iedges discovered usually by the treless and ndoitabe prOspectOr that give promise of becoming producing and paying mines with exploitation and developments but it usually takes years and the expenditure of large of money equipment before return of the outlay is made. If for it is not every cropping that paying body vein ledge that contains valuable deposits of the precious metals minerals.
 This being the case, there difference betwee Q prospect and mne difference that is often razed by the prOspecOr who. upon making discovery Ct promising prospect allows his imagination fly such extent that he often fools himself into the be- lief that his bare location is in reality rich and pro- ducng mine, and he be induced part with his prospect excepting figures that would the pur chase price of divident-paying bonanza: losing sight of the fact that thousands be expended before pro-
 fits be recorded should the prospect really be the making of mine.
 At the present time enormous amount of capital is seeking investment in promising mining property. but is often baked and discouraged because of the exolb ant and ridiculous prices at which prospects held by their owners
 The claim-Owner must remember that the buyer of his property is willing to up the money if there is reasonable chance to realize his investments but he must also remember that mines made and list his undevelopcd holdings prices which will attract buyers who willing to put up the wherewh for extensive and systematic development.

ALIInD LON dvaId IM

An in binding the tax receipts for the county of COchise has been the of much cOnsteInatiOn among taxpayers the past few days. And naturally the printer the recipient of the wrath and of all concerned. But this is naual the poor humble printer who seldom makes mistake, Is shown mercy when he does
 But for the enlightenment of few who have seen fit harangue the whole blamed tribe of bOne-head prints in COchise county plead not guilty, the tax receipts NOT printed in the office of the Daily PrOspectOr
 Mistakes bound to happen, with everyone. every where and the howl mp in this wholly unwal rnted the amount of taxes assessed absolutely rect the you Cochise county, tho each seperate amount may appear ill the wrong column the duplicate to the taxpayers. The oligi nal kept in the office of the county correct
 Why is it that the public is forever prepared to pour forth its wrath upon the humble. patient and drudgng prntei that poor mortal who does possess soul iii spite of the belief of the public to the contrary!
 The following clipping. taken from Benjamin Frank ln's Monthly of date several years will assay 99 per cent truth:
 ''When plumber makes mistake he charges twice for it.
 When a lawyer nlakes'a mistake 's just what he wanted. because he has chance the all again
 ..Whcn a carpenter makes a mistake. it's just what he expected because the chances 10 to that he learned his business.
 When a doctor makes mistake. he buries it.
 When a judge makes a mistake. it becomes the law of the land.
 When a preacher makes mistake nobody knows tine difference.
 But with printer it is different: when he makes mistake he accumulates the curse of the universe.

THE EGa1NG OF SENATOR REED

 ted Senator J. A. Reed of Missouri, with egg bar rage when he attempted to make speech in that city against President Wilson, and the League of Nations
 Governor J. B. A. Robertson, commenting upon the incident said that Reed got what coming to him. 7 He further said: If it an l. w. w. going the country speaking against the government of the United States the republicans would favor giving him the treatment. While this is country of free speech this privilege does not give any person the right to vfy the President and drag his name into the mire. Neither Senator Reed other come into Oklahoma and with impunty insult the President of the United States. l surprised that any misguided democrats of the state have been willing to give time enough to at tend such meetings being held by Reed and his kind"
 Hats off to Governor Robertson whose Americanisnl stands above the stench of petty politics and personal grudge eXpounded by Senator Reed and the Repubi can leaders of the nation
 Hon. Marcus A. Smith. senator from Arizona. in a speech delivered before Congress July % 1919 re- garding the proposed League of Nations, said:
 Our last fought to little purpose our bill lions of treasure spent in van the blood of heroic boys offered useless sacrifice if out of it all pro vision is made at this epocha time to prevent of these woes by establishing guaranty of all ci viliZed nations against aggression of against anOther.'
 Take the words of the great Theodore Roosevelt Re publican statesman, who. with all his fighting instincts delighted to be known he III fact was. pcacemaker. and for his services such in 1910 awarded the No bel peace prize. In acknowledgment of that honor he said:
 Tt would be a master stroke if those great power; honestly bent peace would form league of peace cnv to keep the peace among themselves but to prevent by force. II necessary. It's being bokcn ny others
 The republican politicians of the land. against the cverwhc Inning desire of their constituents. engaged ill attempting belitte and combat with all their might and strength the first attempt the "mastcr stroke cXpounded by their great leader They have gone far to even launch mud singing cam pagn against the personality of President Wilson, aided by few uke-w Democrats who will allow person al grdge to ovcrshadow their better mind. But through the terrific din and evil smoke screen of eeiHhciaon they have thrown upon the American public be detected the nallSeatinc stench of party politics.
 If Senator Reed would take 1t upon himself to tell the American public the real why he is opposed to the Presnt first and the League of Nations last the noble hens Oklahoma could lay eggs fast enough for the gentleman from Missouri.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

The tax notices that now being sent out by the County Treasurer are causing people undue alarm because of the fact that the duplicates which the payers receiving through the mails owing to fauty binding, carries the of taxes due into the wrong columns hence many people think they being taxed for this school district that the school district in which
 they have property But they will take their ment and figure out their rate given they will that although the amount taxed is right the amount in the wrong line. The garing is the first entry duplicates and it appears that the state and county is charged Hghway-Bond and Interest This is of just getting the wrong line, any by figuring the Highway rate which is only six cents on each $0000 There is to get excited the matter it is the fault of the binding department of the establishment that printed the receipts and if the tax payer will just place the various amounts in the right columns he she will find their tax bill in due form This matter which could not possibly be corrected except by having each duplicate made out singly and that event which cut of the question: the tax receipts
 would be delinquent before they could all be mailed

Inclined to Believe
Discharged Soldiers
to Blame for Riots

Secretary Baker. Gen. March, chief OF
staff, and other officials at the war De-
partment today declined to comment on
the local riot situation one way or the
other 1t is known. however. that they
incline to the belief that most Of the
blame placed on regular soldiers for at
tacls on the negroes really attaches to
discharged soldiers no longer under mil
itary discipline or control. Under the
law the discharged soldiers are per-
mitted to wear the military uniform,
and, to the uninitiated, are the same as
regular soldiers still in the service.
But regardless Of who is responsible
for the rioting. the War Department au-
thorities appreciate that it has been al
lowed to go too far and must be sup
pressed The military police will be
strengthened at once and will cooperate
with the local authorities in the preser-
walton of peace and order in this city.
Although not officially admitted, it is
said. that the District authorities repre-
scented that the situation was getting be-
You'd their control and asked for federal
assistance.

Randall Neal, one of the colored
men shot to death in last nights riot
ing, is the son of the messenger at

charged from the Navy a week or ten
days ago. According to the informa-
ton that his father had, the young
fellow was in a crowd when a car
was stoned and he was shot by a
member of the Home Defense League.
The elder Neal is well thought OF
at the Capitol and is great favorite
among the older members Of Con-
gress. Considerable indignation was
expressed that his son should be a
victim of the rioting.
