 made. It was only on Friday Of last week that the last of the awards was | received.
 Chance al National Prize In making the announcement or the contest The Republican recommended to contestants that they forward still Blaine Beale contest at Washington, D. C., in which prizes aggregating S10,000 were offered and to which the contests in The Republicans statewide contest were eligible. Eighteen young men and women entered The Repub- lican's contest and submitted drafts Of platforms to this office.
 The Judges The judges selected were Governor Thomas E. Campbell. Colonel John C. Greenway of Warren and IT. B. Will kinson of Phoenix. These gentlement went over the drafts submitted to them. carefully and frequently before arriving at their decisions, so surprisingly eX- Cellert were all the drafts that had been submitted to them.
 Governor Campbell gave his decision as to the first, second and third drafts which on reference to the correspond ing, sealed copies in the office Of The Republican were found to be respec- lively those of Mrs. Della F. Whitman Of Phoenix: John A. Woolsey of Phoe- nix and Harold l.. Croesbeck of Phoe- nix.
 MT. Wikinson's awards were found on comparison with the identified cop ies in The Republican office to be: Eugene q. Ruffner Of Winslow first; Mrs. Della r. Whitman Of Phoenix, second. and Mrs. ". B. Whitcomb of Casa. Grande, third.
 The award of Colonel Greenvay on comparison with the identified copies was found to be: Mrs. Della F. Whit man. first; Eugene c. Ruffner, second, and Mrs. ". :. Whltcomb, third.

as to q group of winners though they placed them in different ord;naI post tions. Governor Campbell and Col onel Groenway were found to have hit upon the same candidate for the first prize.
 The Republican had decided, in order to obviate or reduce as far as possible. the chances of a deadlock, upon a sys- tenn of points 10 be used in the distrf- button Of the prizes. Taking the pro- portions in which the $1,00e was to be divided-5, 3 and ?, as points, for the first, to be selected by the different judges, 2 for the second and 2 for the third. it is seen that Mrs. Whitman has 10 points. Mir. Ruffner, $ and Mrs. Whitcomb 1 points. The prizes win be mailed to the successful contestants tomorrow.
 As the judges stated in their letters to The Republican accompanying their awards, so much study, care and ex- ceuence appeared in all the drafts that a decision was difficult. It was only by reading and re-rcading that a con- clusion could be arrived at. The task Of the judges is described by one of the judges in his letter;
 How 1t Was Done
 In the making of the awards ! have subjected each platform to three tests: First, a to whether the platform enun- ciated true Republican principles; sec ond. as to whether 1t covered the field that should be covered; and, third. as to the manner of stating the principles selected; or. stated shortly, the tests are: Doctrine, inclusiveness and pres entation.
 ''I realize that many of the platforms are so excellent that there will quite likely be a wide difference Of opinion as to which should be awarded the preference. Most Of the platforms ap- pear to me to be surprisingly satisfac- tory. taking into consideration the age of the contestants"
 But though there was not enough room for all of the contestants 'in the money" which could be distributed to only three the other fifteen will find their reward in the result of the deep and intimate study whicl1 enabled them 10 prepare such surprisingly excellent pa pers.

The Republicans statewide platform contest-a competition open to all young men and women of this state for the submission of drafts for na- tional republican platform was ended on March 31. The last of the awards was made last Friday. The announce ment Of the contest was made on Feb ruary and the terms of it were pub Hshed in successive issues of The Re publican. This contest was made pos sible by MT. George II. MaXeII of Boston who maintains q winter residence at Castle Hot Springs. Mir Maxell pre- sented to The Republican a check for s1.000 to be offered as q prize or prizes, that sum to be divided by the manage ment Of The Republican as it might think best. He only suggested that generally the plan adopted for the Walker Blaine Beale nation wide plat form contest be followed.
 Promotion Of Good Citizenship
 Mir. Maxwell was moved solely by a desire to promote among the young women and men of Arizona, a study of public affairs, to the end that they would become more useful citizens at a time when useful stabilized citizen ship is so much needed. He desired at that time that his name should not be published in connection with the con test, and perhaps, he is still averse to that publicity. but it is believed by The Republican that due credit should be given to the man whose munificence must already have done so much for the citizenship of Arizona and the in fluence of whose gift must spread, and descend to another generation.
 It was decided to divide the gift into three prizes; $500, $500 and $2O0. Un- der the rules adopted the competition was to be open to all young men and women of this state under the age of twenty-five years. The contest was to close on March 31 when each contes- tant was to send to this office four copies of his or her draft of a national platform for the republican party There was to be one Of each draft for each Of three judges to be selected These drafts were 10 be without any marks by which the authors of them could be identified by the judges. so

Rural CrOsscut Shows
 Good Ore Bodies

The crosscut from the 160 level be- low the Rural tunnel has interested the vein and drifting east and west is disclosing some nice ore bodies. The old works of the Buckeye will be entered shortly and the drifts will be timbered up and made safe. The lower drifts will be carried into the new ground to the east, where good ore was recently opened on the level above. To the west the drift is being carried into the Rural ground and the old workings in that property will be put in shape to handle the large ton mage of mill ore that is known to be there. The ore that is being driftei on is exceptionally high in grade and could be shipped without asserting, but it is the intention to mill all of the output of the mine.
 A big milling plant has been or dered, a flow sheet of the ore showing that it will respond to concentration and Notation. The plant will be on the way from Denver within the next 45 days and the work of installation will not require more than two mon ths. This plant is to be rushed to completion and the mine is to be put in shape to produce the necessary ore.

BETTER ROADS

Along with further road improve ments in Mohave county and the work the supervisors are doing, it might be we'll to say a little on individual in terests in the roads that we have or should have, as citizens of the county.
 Several roads in the county are kept in almost perfect condition by a little care by individuals. For in stance immediately after rain while the dirt is yet soft, road my be cut to pieces by truck, whereas a little delay in making the trip, un- til the road had hardened, would mean the road would not be damaged.
 Another thing many of the compaE- ies are doing is to drag some par ticular piece of road running to their property, immediately after rain. If you haven't a truck with which to pull a drag perhaps you can help a neighbor who has.
 As citizens we are not necessarily bound to do any of these things but would not little concerted effort ap- piled in this direction be well repail to ourselves by riding over better roads.

CONSOLIDATION OF BLACKBERRY MINES
 IS RUMORED HERE

A. G. Heating, who has been man.
 aging the affairs of the Senate Silvec
 Mines company, owner of the old
 Blackberry South, is in Los Angeles,
 where rumor has it, he is working | with his associates for consolida-
 tion of the interests of his company with that of the Blackberry. The in terests of the two companies are identical in a way, the Blackberry having it's shaft down 800 feet, which shaft could be utilized by the Senate in the development of its property to the south. By driving laterals from the Blackberry the Senate would be saved the installation of heavy ma chinery and would get into it's ore bodies with small expense, while at the sametime the pumping of water from that end of the mine and other overhead expense would be lifted from the shoulders of the Blackberry. But we understand that the consolidation also means the financing of the Hack berry by the Senate and the taking over of the management of the big silver property.
 The Blackberry Consolidated Silver Mines company needs money to carry on a big development campaign and it is said that the other company stands ready to furnish the funds if proper arrangements are made. The Hack berry is real mine, if development is carried on far enough to give the big mill steady flow of ore through out a 24-hour day. It has a milling of about 220 tons daily and anh ore average of between 15 and 20 ounces silver and some. lead and zinc. The mill has been tried out with satisfactory results. It is the hope of the mining editor that consolida- tion of these interests be reached within the next week or two.

AN ALL-ANER|CAN
 IRRIGATION CANAL

For many years the irrigation of the Imperial Valley has been strug- gle for adequate water, owing to the fact that the American owned canal was wound around like whipcord through Mexican territory. To rem edy this a measure is now before con- gress, known as house bill No. 6O44, which provides for the building of an All-American canal, to reach from the Laguna dam to the rich lands in the United States through Imperial Val ley. This canal will bring in nearly half a million acres of new lands, and it is said that the Colorado river is capable of furnishing the additional water. It is understood that this new division hinges on the building of the big dam in the Colorado river at Boulder Canyon and also the other dams farther up the river. The i'm pounding of the floodwaters of the Colorado river is necessity to any future irrigation scheme In the lm- perial Valley or at any other point on the lower reaches of the Colorado river, and the efforts and good of fees of all western congressman and senators is necessary to bring about this most-to- be-desired result. The building of the dams are of vital im- portance, not only to irrigation, but for the upbuilding of the whole ter ritory lying along the Colorado river below the Grand Canyon. Fully a million acres of the richest lands in the world would be brought under cultivation and thousands of people would make their homes upon these vast acres.

RICH VALUES UN-
 COVERED BY COLDORE

The greates find of ore ever made in the Gold Ore mine is reported to have been made last Thursday, when a foot of ore was opened in the east drift on the 600 level that gave values of $123.2O gold and $6.34 in silver, a total of $129.54. This ore has been entered for some distance and the management believes it will lead to a larger ore body. In the west drift new ore body has been entered, two feet of which gives results of over 75 ounces silver and 1.64 ounces gold, a total value of $130.3O. This ore is now being sacked and shipment will soon be made to the smelter.
 The opening of: this ore body is the first direct result of operations under the new management and we expect to have greater things to report soon. The finding of rich ore in the property is a new thing, the values in that metal heretofore being low. The find ing of the new ore body in the east drift, carrying as it does, high values in gold, is also a new condition in that part of the property, the rich gold streak being to the west. The work of developing along the 600 level is being carried on at rapid rate and the old ore bodies are expected to be entered soon, when larger bodies of mill ore are expected to be opened.
