THE WORLD is OURS!

yXTHEN, ACCORDING TO DUMAS, the
w Count of Monte Crsto leaped into the
sea from his prison dungeon, he cried: The
world is mine!" When Commander Read OF
the seaplane NC-4 swooped down from the
clouds in Lisbon yesterday afternoon, having
flown across the sea from coast to coast, he
might have cried. with patriotic fervor: "The
world is ours!''
Now that, as the traditionally sarcastic
managing editor might remark, is a story.
Things like that happen only every now and
then, with CULTS Of serried centuries between
the now and the then. One such thing of thrill
happened when, according to Kiplings poem,
the savage lover and his equally savage lady
love escaped from their pursuers by mounting
floating log and using the haf-naked gIrls
mantle or skirt as sail to catch the kissing
winds and watt them on to safety Thus began
the science of water navigation thousands Of
years ago.
Another such thing of thrill happened four
hundred and twenty-seven years ago, when
Christopher Columbus knelt upon the sands OF
San Salvador and kissed them reVerently in
behalf of the Castilian queen who had sacri-
feed her Jewels to provide funds for the vast
adventure upon the bosom Of the uncharted
brine. Thus was discovered the new world,
so called, with its future pregnant with liberty
for the peoples of the old.

the bcycle-repair shop Of Orville and Wilbur
Wright at Dayton Ohio provided to posterty
the wings Of the air; for the airplane thought
out and partially wrought out in that humble
shop was the real beginning of the science of
aerial navigation. The skirts of the savage
sweetheart and the planes OF the Wright
brothers were the first fruits of dreams mag
niicent. The skirts took the breezes in their
bulge and developed into the full-rigged ship
tacking across the deep, then at last into the
Leviathan of present glory. The planes,
backed by the motor, conquered the breezes
and cut through them without the necessity of
tacking.
And now this first Columbus of the air, the
pilot Of the American navy's seaplane, doubles
back from above the sea on the track Of the
doughty Christopher, cOnquering for the new
world another kingdom of navigation and dis
covering anew the old world, unto which in this
present year of our Lord the new world has
carried the torch of democracy which is des-
tined inevitably to shed its luminance into the
dark and secret places and sWeeten them with
the light that always was on sea and land, but
has been hidden under the bushe of kingcraft
since Adam and before.
And so, in lifting the lilt "The world is
ours!' we do not mean to convey the idea Of
exultation over a vulgar material conquest
but rather to express the finer thought that the
world is Democracy's to do with as Democracy

Eddie Rickenbackers lecture tour has been
cancelled, ostensibly because of the nervous
breakdown of the noted ace. Empty chairs in
front of a lecturer who expects S. r. O. signs
wherever he goes are calculated to give ner-
vous prostraton even to a brave and hardy
soldier of the airy naves graphing in the cen
tral blue. The fact appears to be that folks
are dog g-tired of hearing war-hero stuff. This
does not indicate at all that the people at home
fail in their duty of honoring the men who have
dared and done. 1t simply shows that there is
such a thing as too much of a good thing.

CAMPBELL AND SCOTT
 WILL OPERATE ELKHART

Campbell and Scott are reported to have taken options on the Argyle and Elkhart mines at Chloride. The Argle has already been taken over by these people and F. A. Wright of the Elk hart has been expected here to close the deal on that property. MT. Camp bell is New York man, while MT. Scott has been at the camp the past several months.
 The Elkhart was at one time one of the big properties of Chloride, but it was badly managed and the ex- penses made it impossible to operate at profit, although the mine was able to produce thousands of tons of good milling grade ore. The mine still has great ore bodies in sight that can be milled profitably under present conditions, although Notation will have to be added to the mill equip ment.
 The Argyle mine is said to be a promising property, and between the two we hope to see large fore of men employed and wide range of development undertaken.

The motion that some method of mak- ing the judgeships strictly non part isan on the ballot was carried unani- mously and referred to the committee.
 The suggestion of B. E. Marks that law be prepared covering expert tes- timony was made into a motion by MT. Bullard and carried. It was pointed out that in personal injury suits it was particularly necessary to have disin- terested and unbiased testimony and that if either party demand expert medical testimony it would be of more value if the expert were chosen by the court.
 Thomas J. Croaff declared he would not favor a change. He refused, he said, to go on record, to change law the labor people had procured and "would fight to retain it."
 Changes in the laws relative to com- munity property met with favorable action, and a motion to increase the membership of the State Bar associa- tion and perfect organization also car ried. Captain Christy will shortly name seven members to serve on this committee with a resident member of each county to aid the committee in working for results.
 After the election of officers the meeting adjourned.

COMMISSION REAPPO|NTED
 TO REVISE SCHOOL LAWS

The commission for the revision of the school laws of the state, which was brought into life by the legisla- tive session two years ago and the members appointed by Gov. Campbell during his tenure of the office of gov ernor, has been reappointed by Gov. Campbell. Governor Hunt, upon talk ing possession of the governorship chair, in 1918 discharged the comr,;s- sion, although it had about completed the work for which it had been form ed. The commission is now composed of Charles F. Philbrook, superintend- ent of schools of Bisbee; John D. Loper, superintendent of schools of Phoenix; and w. L. Linville, superin- tendent of schools, of Kingman, Ari- zona. The commission has turned in its report to Governor Campbell and will be incorporated in his recommend ation to the legislature for the enact ment of more modern school laws. It is probable that laws similar to that of California will not only be used for a basis for new school laws, but also for the other laws of the state, and especially in qualification of all the laws.

RANKIN BUYS
 YAVAPAI MINE

Col. J. c. Rankin, who left King man for Prescott last week, is re- ported to have purchased the Me Cabe and Gladstone mines, in Yava- pal county. Connected with Col. Rankin in the transaction is Charles Batre, a well-known thinning man of that section. The McCabe is one of the best known mines of Yavapai county, having been worked exten- sively about 20 years ago. The vein system is the same as the Henrietta and the Big Ledge. The Henrietta was sold by Col. J. Frank Wilson and associates many years ago to a cor poration that developed it to a con- siderable depth and extracted many hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold and silver from it. The tailings of the McCabe were tried out by the late Michatel Scanlon of this county, but with no success, the supposed chemist not being a chemist and the process installed being farce. These tailings are being shipped to the Hum boldt shelter, where good returns are being obtained from them.

MINING NEWS Here and Elsewhere ANsoN E gM1FH

While steps are being taken to se- cure an amendment to the Minerals Control Act in accordance with the ex- pressed desire of Secretary Lane, this, if passed, would result only in reim- bursting the miners for their outlay. It would have no effect upon the con- tinuance of operations. It would leave us where we were before the outbreak of the war.
 In 1917 the domestic product was only about one-siXth of the total con- sumption of manganese. This year it had grown to one-third, and next year it would come close to supplying our total requirements. During the first six months of this year, accord ing to a communication firm the Uni ted States Geologcal Survey, the out put of this country was 136,554 tons of manganese ore, containing about 35 per cent of the metal, and ore of that grade was being shipped in October at the rate of 2S,000 tons monthly, or 336,000 tons per year.-Manufactur- CTS Record.

THE HORSEBACK ELECTS OFFICERS: WILL ISSUE
 S4OO,00O BONDS FOR MILL

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Arizona Mossback mining company was held at the company's offices at the Mossback camp last Thursday. The old board of directors with one exception was reelected, and is composed of the fol- lowing shareholders: c. w. Maier, president; Will H. Holcomb, vice. president; Margaret E. Kempley, sec retary and treasurer; J. w. Speidel, E. Garth Hearne, Lee c. Paul and C.. H. Burlock. As all the business of the company could not be completed at this meeting Messrs. Hearne, Paul and Speidel went to the coast Thurs day night and will return this even- ing. Another meeting of the board of directors and shareholders is to be held at the camp tomorrow, at which the outlines of a reorganization of the company will be tentatively agreed upon. The company purposes the issuance of $400,0O0 in bonds, the money to be used in the construction of big milling plant and other i'm provements. These bonds will be taken up by the shareholders, none of the issue going to the public.
 The Arizona Mossback has one of the largest veins of milling ore in the San Francisco mining district, the Camp being situated som edistance north of Oatman and west of Gold road. The company has been cperat- ing the property for some time. The main shaft is now down 800 feet, the vein below the 300 showing immense possibilities in gold. Average samples of 63 feet of crosscut of the big vein on the 300 gave results above SIS per ton, and the shaft showed still better results. From the 800 drifts and crosscuts are being run through the big ore mass and it will be but a few months until the prop erty will be in shape to make a large output of highs grade milling ore. At no point where the vein has been cut into has gold not been found and in paying quantities.
 Messrs. Speidel, Paul and Hearne are residents of Wheeling, w. Va., and are heavily interested in the suc- cess of the Mossback. From their ex- animation and that of their engineer they believe they have one of the greatest gold properties of the coast. This view is borne out by the opinion of Manager Phelps, of the Tom Reed mines, who is of the opinion that when properly developed and equipped it ought to be an immense producer.
 The company has opened offices in Kingman and hereafter the business of the concern will be directed from this place.

ARIZONA BAR ASSOCIATION
 MEETING IN CAPITAL CITY

i Executive board State Bar Associ- ation for 1919:
 George D. Christy, Phoenix, presi- dent.
 Judge John H. Campbell, Tucson, vice-president.
 J. E. Nelson, Phoenix, secretary 1 treasurer.
 Judge Carl G. Krook, Kingman, E. s. Clark of Prescott, and c. B. Ward, Phoenix, directors.
 Recommending legislation that will fill in omissions and correct conflicts in the statutes, the Arizona Bar asso- citation met last week in the court house at Phoenix and appointed spec ial committee to draft bills which will be presented to the legislature with the endorsement of the bar associa- tion.
 After the meeting had been called to order and routine matters dispensed with, Captain Christy called attention to the fact that there is no legal meth cd provided by the statutes for dis barment. His suggestion of the method of procedure was that com iilGeSS DC dpPOlAICu " luNCSCiSdCc charges made, with power to subpoena witnesses, take testimony which after being transcribed be transmitted to the court with the committees recom- mendation. The court, if it believes the testimony warrants, will refer the matter to the county attorney for ac- tion. Captain Christy's suggestion was met with decided approval and the lawyers voted that some such ade- quate provision be proposed to the leg islative assembly.
 That the primary law be amended to make the judges of the supreme and superior courts appear as non-partis- ans on the ballot, was the suggestion offered by George Purdy Bullard. MT. Bullard stated that the ballot should bear the names of candidates of all party affiliations so that the voter might carry out the spirit and letter of the constitution which provides that the judges be non-partisan. Under the present plan, on the primary dem ocratic ballot only the name of the judge of that party appears, while it is the same with the republican ballot.
