Gates PERPETRATES
JOKE ON DEMOCRATS

All the republican half of the capt.
tol is laughing about the little joke
that L. S. Gates perpetrated upon the
democrats during a conversation that
occurred in the Hotel Adams lobby
Thursday afternoon, Says the Arizona
Republican, under the heading, "Re-
publicans Find Glee in Joke on
The Democrats. Anyone can start a
fight in the capitol any old time now
by asking:
What are we democrats going to
do?"
Gates is big man in Arizona min
ing and republican circles and is wide
ly known, even among the democrats
hut he discovered two democrats in
the Adams lobby Thursday afternoon
who were just bit hazy about him.
Quite galaxy of democrats was pres
ent throughout the lobby.
After casually talking on general
ludIIClo Will a COuplC VI u0ulOCIdIS "
whom he had just been introduced,
Gates suddenly opened up on politics
and asked one of them
"What are we democrats going to
do?"
The answer came back in a flash:
1--WE are going to bust Governor
Campbell this time sure. When he
calls that special session we'll force
him to include call for legislation
on raising teachers salaries, nick the
state for million dollars right there,
and then suddenly discover that the
constitution provides that salaries can
be raised all around under those cir
cumstances. Then We'll make the tax
payers howl and Campbell will be the
goat!"
Just about then one of the two dem
ocrats turned to Gates and said:
What did you say your name wasp
Gates told him very plainly, and
both democrats calculated simultane-
| ously ooh my, Oh my!"

JAPAN WOULD GRAB

Out of 275,OOO,OOO,OO0 pounds of
copper sold last year for export ia
pan took almost 40 per cent This
would seem to indicate that Japan
intends to take from Germany the
rich brass trade of the Orient and the
small brassware trade of South Amer
lea. In spite of Japan's large metal i'm
portation last year her copper pro-
duction was not materially diminish
ed. France, Belgium, Spain and Italy
combined bought 27 per cent of the
copper sold for export in 1919, France
being the largest purchaser in this
group. England bought IA per cent
probably considerable of it for re-
export to Germany, especially during
the last six weeks of the year. Ger
many, Sweden and Denmark took IA
per cent, most of this jrobably being
for Germany. Canada and
the rest of the world bought about 5
per cent, most of this probably being
bought more than 2A per cent of our
copper. In 1910, also in 1913, she pu-
chased less than .02 per cent of our

LAWRENCE c. HILL,
NOTED ENGINEER, IS
VISITOR TO DISTRICT

Mr.. Lawrence c. Hill, son of the
late Alexander Hill, the first engi
neer of note to realize the great pos
sibilities of the Ray ore deposit, ant
to definitely back his judgment, spen
a few days in Ray investigating the
methods of mining and milling ore
as conducted by the Ray Consoli
dated.
Asked for his impressions of thu
Ray district, Mr.. Hill replied will
the following communication:
Dear Mr.. Editor:
When you asked me for my
impressions of the district you
handed me tougher PROPOSE
tion than you imagined. For
one thing, the said impressions
are of necessity chiefly subter-
ranean; therefore, not of general
interest, and for another thing, l
have to confess that l am dis
appointed in Arizona.
Naturally, I was not quite green
enough to imagine that I would
find the land of the cinema, all
complete, with cowboys armed to
the teeth, desperadoes, and sa-
looms at every corner, Q knew
the saloons were amongst the
"also rams" anyway, but GER
tainly did expect to have to
repeat, I have been disappointed,
though pleasantly so.
Comfortable hotels, good food
and plenty of it, Il bows to you,
Mr.. Joe Ling), and more motor
cars per head of population than
I have seen anywhere, certainly
don't look much like the "wild
and woolly west" of the movies.
1t has been a singularly inter-
esting and pleasant experience
for me to have paid this visit to
Arizona. I have been enabled to
see the working of several of the
big, up-to-date mines of the dsi-
trict, with their efficient organi-
zation and progressive methods
and pleasant because it is always
pleasure to live amongst such
a kindly and democratic people,
amidst such picturesque sur
roundings. In fact, cannot speak
too highly of the courteous and
hospitable way in which l have
been treated and shall always
harbour pleasant memories of my
visit to Arizona.

unknown talent and latent potential
ability came to view and many of
Rays most beautiful maids and ma

praise for the excellent rendition of
all the numbers have been heard on
every side.
Mrs. Charles A. Smith, with her
characteristic originality, introduced

The post is planning grand open

time during the coming month as

pleted, and appropriate addresses
followed Ey a grand ball will be the
order of things, and everyone will be

The John Pruitt Post has endorsed
the motion as passed by the Tempe
Post of the American Legion, where
by the State of Arizona would allow a
substantial cash bonus to it's soldiers,
sailors and marines that served in the
great war.
A special effort is being made to
have the parents of Ray boys, who
were killed or died fighting lin the
great war to be present at pretty
ceremony that is being arranged for
Washington's birthday, when the
French government will present an
engraved certificate to the nearest re-
iative. Some difficulty has been en-
countered in arranging this as some
of the parents have moved to places
where no American Legion Post is
located and each post is striving to
take care of all of those in their own
locality regardless of where they re-
sided when their sons entered the
service. At present l have the names
of four families entitled to this certi-
ficate and If there are any others
whom l have unintentionally over
looked, l would appreciate very much
if they would send their names in to
me at once together with the name
of the deceased service man. Address

OVERHEA7ED stove
CAUSE OF BLAZE

The interior of the Mike Haduca-
vich home practically destroyed by fire
on the morning of February 8, at about
six o'clock
A fire had been started in the kit
chen stove, preparatory to making
breakfast and the kitchen was left by
the various members of the family.
Soon the whole interior was afire,
evidently from an overheated stove.
An alarm was sounded and the de-
partment responded but the quick ac-
tion of the members of the family and
those living in the immediate neigh
borhood prevented what might have
proved most disastrous conflagra-
tion.
