HEAR YOUNG PEOPLE IN
 DELIGHTFUL RECITAL

A very pleasing and interesting pro- gram was given last night at the Woman's club when Miss Alice Hite Hughes presented members of her piano class in recital. Many difficult numbers were given and were well rendered, showing the excellent train ing these embryo artists have re- ceived.
 Some of the young people have studied only few months and yet were able to perform in pleasing manner little classic such as McDow- els ITO a Wild Rose which was beautifully played by little Helen Moore, who is only years old. John Candy, who has been studying only one month. and William Ohlrau, who has studied three months, gave proof of the rapidity with which Miss Hughes brings the beginner to the stage where his music is a pleasure to himself and others. Little Faustina Stoneham, only 8 years old. rendered two difficult numbers with remarkable technique. Tn fact, each pupil is de- serving of special mention and shows the careful training received and the good work each has done.
 Miss Hughes came to Phoenix two years ago. and in that time has built up a large music class, and many tal- ented young people have taken advan- tage of the opportunity to study under this experienced and thoroughly mu- sicianly woman. Her many friends regret that she has decided to return to her former field of labor in Holly wood, where she taught successfully for a number of years before coming here and where she was at the head of a flourishing school of music.
 Following is the program of last evening:

FINANCIAL AID
dire need Of
RAY BALL TEAM

At present the Ray team heads the
percentage list in the series. That is
well. There is a more serious side
to the situation. The Ray club has
been drifting among financial difficult
ties owing to small gate receipts and
lack of sufficient financial support
from the general public of Ray, and
unless the subscriptions are increased
and those who are in arrears pay up,
it is possible that the Ray team may
not weather its difficulties.
The financial support is coming
from the business men of Ray, who
are donating about one-third of the
total subscription, the Ray Consoli-
dated about one-third, and the other
people in town about one-third. The
balance comes from the small gate
receipts.
The present receipts do not cover
expenses, SO in order to save the team
from disbanding, the Ray Consolidated
has made a liberal lump sum donation
to assist the team temporarily, but it
is not fair to expect the company to
carry the total burden, so the citizens.
of Ray, if they wish the national sport
to continue, should increase their sub
scriptions substantially. Such action
will aid. materially, especially if those
in arrears will pay up.
1t is good business for Ray to win
this series, and it will be a wonderful
advertisement for the community. It
affords good, clean sport for the citi-
zens, splendid recreation and an
opportunity for the people to have
some place to go.
1t is hoped that the peoples of Ray
will stand by the team until this series
is completed and help it to.victory by
liberal assistance financially.
Those desiring to contribute, in
crease their subscription, or pay up
back donations will find Mr. Sam
Chapel at the Ray Con. hotel, where
he will be pleased to issue an official
receipt. If Mr.. Chapel should be out
when you call, the money can be left
in an envelope and he will get it and
enter your subscription on the books.
1t has been the policy of the club
to pass school children free They
have not Disseminated between chill
dren. If those parents who have chii-
dren who enter free will donate
small sum monthly, say, a dollar or
two, it will assist materially Last

an emergency appropriation of $24,-
1852 was asked for to complete
work already started.
The University of Arizona had a
balance of $43,5249S in it's building
fund, but this was not enough to
complete it's former building program
and an emergency appropriation of
$4,000 was asked
The Tempe Normal school had a
balance of $27,918.39 in its mainte-
nance fund but needed $26,896.79, this
sum having been taken out of the
maintenance fund to complete the
power house and other buildings by
Governor Hunts administration.
The total amount of emergency ap-
preparations asked at that time was
1855, ,193.09, this figure representing
the total estimated deficit of the DEM
ocratic administration to carry the
institutions through to the close of
the fiscal year, period which was
supposed to have been covered by
appropriations Of the legislature two
years prior.
One of the first steps taken by
Governor Campbell was to suggest
the removal of the educational insti-
tutions from the direction of the COM
mission of state institutions. This
suggestion resulted in the law Great
ing the present board of directors of
state institutions, which exercises
control over the correctional and
charitable institutions of the state
and makes each educational institu-
tion responsible for it's own expendi-
lures.
This law has greatly aided in sim
plification of carrying on the states
business and in connection with the
state budget law, introduced at the
special request of the governor has
effected savings which will run into
the hundreds of thousands annually.
Tom Campbell promised to give the
people of Arizona a business admins
tration. The figures given herewith
prove that he has kept his pledge.
And that is the reason that the tax
payers are going to see to it that
Tom Campbell is continued on the
job He is regular governor, and
besides that he is real business

MATTHEWS IS in
AGREEMENT WITH
CAMPBELL POLICY

That Lemuel P Matthews of Casa
Grande is thoroughly in accord with
Governor Campbells land policy is
the declaration of an ardent supporter
of Mr. Matthews candidacy for state
senator from Pinal county. The Cop
per Camp takes pleasure in printing
his communication which follows:
"Lemuel P. Matthews of Casa
Grande, who is in the race for state
senator On the republican ticket from
Pinal county, is squarely in accord
with Governor Campbell in the state
land controversy, and, if elected, will
lend his aid in abolishing the present
system of management of state leases
and the sale of timber in the northern
part of Arizona.
"Mr. Matthews is we'll qualified for
the place of state senator, is able to
represent not only the agricultural
district but the entire county. A law
| for pure seeds for the farmer is a
question that interests every farmer
and he is entitled to protection along
! this line.
Matthews was the first booster for
electricity for the Casa Grande valley
and has given his time and efforts
along this line to the point now of
just on the eve of getting a power dis
| trict for Pinal county. He stands
squarely for the San Carlos, which is
| the making of Pinal county.
'Mr. Matthews was elected justice
of the peace at Casa Grande two years
ago, receiving twice the votes of his
opponent Lemuel Matthews will rep
resent the citizens of Pinal county in
the state senate and not any particu'

THOMAS CASEY
is VICTIM OF
BLAST IN Mine

Thomas Casey, one of Arizona's
best-known miners, died last Friday
afternoon following injuries received
about 1880 o'clock Friday morning,
while he and Mexican were blasting
a round of holes in No. mine.
Mr.. Casey came, to Ray during tho
latter part of August, and few days
before his fatal accident was made a
ment work in one of the tunnels of
No. 2 mine Just before coming off
shift last Friday morning, Mr.. Casey
and the Mexican blasted the holes
that were drilled in their tunnel, and
when the day shift was lowered into
the mine a few moments later, the
Mexican was found near the station
of a shaft and Mr. Casey was found
in the tunnel where he had Eeen
working When John Michels found
him, Mr. Casey was about two hun
dred feet away from the scene of the
blasting and he asked Mr.. Michels to
get him to the surface He lost con-
sciousness upon his way to the hospi-
tai and never spoke again.
Every possible effort was made to
locate his relatives, especially a
brother, who was reported to be en-
ployed on the police force of New
York city, but advices received from
the police commissioner there state
that N. ]. Casey is not member of
the force. The body was held in Bert
Bryants mortuary until last Monday,
when it was taken to Phoenix, where
interment was held in the Catholic
cemetery. Jack Marshall, Tom Ma
loney, John McNally and Jack Keat-
ing accompanied the remains to Phoe-
nix, and all the bosses of the mines
contributed a large floral offering. Mr..
Casey made many friends during his
brief residence in Ray and the entire
camp grieves over the unfortunate ac-
cident.

Called at the end of the tenth IN
ming on account of darkness, with the
score standing to 5, the Ray-Superior
game played last Sunday may yet be-
come the subject of protests from
both sides. Ray may protest the game
on account Of Sanchez scoring when,
it is claimed, the ball hit young East
on, who was standing near the fence,
and should have been declared a dead
ball and no play, if it hit a person
before it hit the fence Magmen
claim they will contest the game on
the ground that McAlpine's hit should
have been called an infield fly by the
umpire. AS it was, Deardorf fielded
it and dropped it. The umpire called
it an outfeld fly, which allowed Nc
Alpine to stay on first
Superior started the ball rolling in
the first half Of the first, when Dear
dorff, the first man out, was hit by a
pitched ball and went to first. He
was forced to second when Sorrey hit
to the pitcher Scott flew out to Beau
miller, Graham singled to center, scor-
ing Sorrey, and took second on the
throw to the plate. Sonoqui grounded
out.
Ray started things in the second
half of the second, when three tallies

ORCHESTRA TO BE
RECRUITED FROM
SCHOOLS Of RAY

Ray schools are to have an orches-
ira all their own. An orchestra is an
essential part of the best schools all
over the United States and Ray is not
to be outdone.
There is much talent in our local
school and it is to be developed and
encouraged by live, interesting orches-
ira work
Violins are, perhaps, the test in
struments for orchestra work and cor
nets, flutes and drums are all usable.
Children possessing an instrument
will find a capable instructor to assist
them.
If enough mandolins are found, a
separate mandolin club will be formed.

CONTRACT LET
FOR CONCRETE
Street OF RAY

The county supervisors on Monday
let contract to Jack Davey for con-
creting the main highway in Ray from
the general office to the depot
The street will he eighteen feet
wide from the office to the court
house, and from there to the Epis-
copal church it will be full width from
curb to curb; from there it will be
continued at 18 feet to the depot.
The property owners along the main
highway and the Ray Consolidated
Copper company, rather than have an
18-foot strip of concrete through the
main thoroughfare of the town, have
agreed to pu1 up the difference and
make the road concrete from curb to
curb This is very commendable and
will make the street permanent and
much more satisfactory than having
only 18 feet of concrete down the
center.
A new water main is to be laid be-
fore the new street is started
Mr. Davey contemplates starting
work just as soon as the equipment
and materials can be placed ready for
use.

UNLAWFUL TO tear
down CANDIDATES
POLITICAL POSTERS

County Attorney Richardson calls
our attention to the following section
of the Arizona penal code, and asks
that same be given publicity:
Section 500. Every person who
maliciously Injuries or destroys any
real or personal property not his own,
this code, is guilty of a misdemeanor." !"
This kind of misdemeanor is pun
ishable by fine of not exceeding $500,
or Imprisonment in the county jail not
exceeding six months, or both.
Candidates go to an expense in time
and money in advertising their candi-
dacy by placards, posters, etc., and it
is a great sggravation as well as a
dra& upon their pocketbooks when
they find their placards have been
maliciously torn down and destroyed
few days after posting. The ordi-
nary political placards now cost about
two cents each, and it is no small job
to tack them up, either 1--WE speak
from eXperience).
Children, probably not realizing the
seriousness Of their acts of mischief,
seem to he the main violators of this
statute. 1t therefore behooves their
parents to explain this to the young
sters as the sheriff's office intends to
strictly enforce this section and will
be on the watch for the first offenders
that appear from now on.

twelve GUN FANS
IN SUNDAY SHOOT At
FAST CLAY BIRDS

Twelve shooters were out for a
whirl at the Eiue rocks Sunday, Sept
10. Some repairs had been made on
the traps, including a new carrier, and
the birds went so fast and SO far that
it was hard shooting This accounts
for the poor scores made. Unless a
shooter had been in the game long
time, he was up against it Sunday,
for the targets were going sixty yards
and better When shooters like Cow
an, Rickerson, Pruett, Chappelle, Nc
Clure, Davis and Miller break around
35 and SO out of so, something must
be wrong. But we will have every
thing in good shape next Sunday; so,
come on, boys. and we will make some
records that will look a little better in
the Copper Camp.
Mullen and Davis were first and
second high guns, 40 and 80 respect
lively These two old-time gunners
have been shooting for eight years.
Were the targets going fast? Ask
Quinn, Smell and Webster.
The scores: Mullen, 40; Davis, SO ;
Pruett, SO; Rickerson,> 35; Miller, 35;
Gowan, 33; Mcclure, 80; Chappelle,
30; Webster, %; Quinn, 10; Smell, 8;

that DR.. Pruett was third high gun

CAMPBELL, AS BUSINESS MANAGER,

Phoenix, Sept 18.-Tom Campbell
business manager of the corporation
we call state, has saved its stock
holders (the taxpayers) s11S,115.64 in
a single year in the management of
the state institutions alone.
This amazing economy has been
made in the. face of rising costs of
material, salaries and supplies, and
the proof of the statement is to be
found in cold figures in the records
of the office of the board of directors
of state institutions.

port on the institutions which gives
