NJ. F. HOWE EXPLAINS;
STOCKHOLDERS HAVE
N 0 CAUSE TO DOUBT

M. F. Howe, who has been for some
time in the employ of the Ray Con
solidated and who recently acquired
extensive interests with the Cauble
Oil Co. of Burkburnett, Texas, has
written to the Copper Camp, explain
ing some points relative to the pros
poets of that company for finding OIL
Mr.. Howe is in a position to know
He is not only sales manager of the
company, but has recently been ap-
pointed as one of it's directors AS
there is large number of local resi-
dents who bought stock il the com.
pany, Mr.. Howe expressed a wish that
the Copper Camp explain to them
those points which have been in
doubt.
The status of the company is
sound, he says. Mr.. Howe has
just returned from trip to Cal
ifOrnia, made for the purpose of
selling stock, and was success
full enough to dispose of quite a
number of shares. He states that
work will proceed as soon as enough
money is in the treasury to warrant
commencing drilling operations Mr.
Howe feels that he has the backing
Of all his Ray friends, and further
states that it will only be a question
of time before big money will be
brought in to those who are willing to
wait and to take a chance"
The policy is of the company is to
"be sure you're fright, then go ahead" "
says Mr.. Howe. While anxiety
has been expressed because the
company had not yet commenced
drilling operations, Mr.. Howe wishes
it to be understood that drill
ing could not be undertaken without
sufficient money in the treasury to
warrant such action. Mr.. Howe's in
terests are such, he states, that it
afafirs of the company, so far as he
may be concerned, shall be handled
| to best advantage.
In his letter Mr.. Howe stated that
he may find opportunity on his return
trip from the coast to drop in to see
his friends in Ray, the better to ex-
plain the company's chances for sue
cess.

STRUCK IN DRIFT
At MAGMA CHIEF

Over ten feet of rich copper glance
has been encountered in the No. 2
drift on the first level at the SOM
brero Butte property of the Magma
Copper company, according to relia-
BILE information received this week

and is opening out in way most
gratifying to the management.
Operations at the property are pro-
crossing favorably, and with the strik-

splendid showing of rich copper
glance, prospects for development at
Sombrero Butte of an important, cop
per producer are considered excellent.

party was held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Ed. Mitchell in honor Of
Miss May Greer and Sam Wisdom
who left Ray this week. Despite the
fact that the nature of the party would
. tend to sadden the affair, it was a
lively gathering and the guests en-
joyed themselves to the extreme.
Games and cards were indulged in
as well as dancing. Mrs. Cramer
played dance music, ably assisted by
a victrola. The broad veranda of the
Mitchell home is well adapted to dane

of room to move about and remain

TRIP TO COOKS LAKE
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED

On Sunday afternoon a number of
local young people journeyed to Cooks
Lake on picnic outing. The trip was
made in motor cars as the lake is
twelve miles beyond Hayden on the
Tucson road. At the lake the mem
bers of the party were able to go
canoeing and they nearly all indulged
in other aquatic pastimes.
1t is very beautiful spot The lake
is surrounded by trees, so that shady
places abound, making it an ideal pic
mic ground. VIVID ducks and cranes
are in abundance, and song birds of
all varieties are found in the trees and
shrubbery. After padding on the lake,
music was enjoyed, followed by pic
mic lunch which the girls served. AZ
ter the long ride, it is needless to say
that the lunch did more than touch
the spot. The following made the
trip: Misses Verna Hopkins, Ruby
Speer, Carlotta Hayes and Stella Lee;
Messrs. Glenn Mcclure, Ray York and
Ben Hermann.
While in Hayden Miss Hayes Wis
tied Mrs. R. A. Cook, and later in the
evening Mrs. Cook and. Mrs. Steinke,
whom she was visiting in Hayden,
joined the party at the lake. A won
derful day was spent and the young
people returned home regretfully but
pleased.

GRADUATION OF
HAYDEN CLASS
ATTRACTS MANY

The grammar grade graduating eX-
Wednesday evening attracted a large
audience. Under the efficient direc-
ton of Miss Rose Graham, the pupils
of the school had prepared several ex-
cellent musical numbers which were
well rendered and fully appreciated.
Millie Liborious was valedictorian for
the class. Mr. A. E. Griffith made a
pleasing and appropriate address, af-
ter which Mr.. Joe Browne presented
certificates of graduation to Millie Lii
borious, Louis Lewis, Abbot Carney,
Katherine O'Neil, Mercedes Araiza,
Gail Wilcox, Raymond Robertson, An
dronica Larona, Dorothy Anderson,
Leo Kahlmeier, Margaret Johnson and
Mabel Hambley.
The school has made an exceptional
record during the year in spite of
the many handicaps. Because of the
suspension of school activities during
the influenza epidemic and later the
reduction in force at the mill and
smelter, the attendance was irregular
and much smaller than it would have
been. Yet most of the pupils sue
ceeded in making grade, and one
of the best eighth grade classes the
school has ever turned out was pres
ent to graduate this year.
In his remarks before presenting
the certificates, Mr.. Browne gave the
superintendent and teachers large
credit for the accomplishments of the
school.

THE KING AND THE BOY SCOUTS

On the day that King George gave his
great garden party to those who had
distinguished themselves In patriotic
work during the war, there were in
cluded only two organizations Of
young people. These were the boy
scouts and the girl guides.
The king particularly asked that the
boys and girls themselves should be
present to the number of 150 ms rep
resentatives of the rest. Picked, as
they were, one from every county In
the British Isles, they naturally pre-
sented very smart lot.
.vhe king talked for quite while
ia praise of the work of scoutmasters.
Results were what he judged by, not
the steps. Results are the only test,
and the results reflected with greatest
possible credit on the workers. He
said that he had personal experience
of this, because, on account of their
capabllity, scouts had come now to be
used for all large functions at the pal
ace.
And he went on to say this OF
scouting: "The beauty of scout is
that you never have to tell him what
TO do and you can rely on his doing It,
A scout never makes mistake.
