CHILDREN PRESENT CLEVER CHRISTMAS
 FESTIVAL AT CLUB

A group of clever children presented an unusually interesting program at the Woman's club yesterday when the annual Christmas festival was ob- served. While the program was ar ranged for the small sons and daugh- ters of club members, 1t was as gen. timely appreciated by the older mem bers of society. who were delightfully."- entertained by the talented youngsters who took part. 1t was a well ar ranged entertainment with piano and violin numbers equally well-rendered, a number of dances artistically exc cuted and readings that demonstrated the unusual ability of the tiny artist performers.
 The lxiddies taking part were drawn largely from the Arizona School or Music, representing the piano depart ment under Franz Darvas; the violin pupils of Robert Saunders, the express sion class of Mrs. Dwight Earl Easley and the dancing pupils of ID. Paula Beware.
 In addition to the children's num- bers, Christmas carols were sung oy a trio composed of Mrs. Ben Spalding, Mrs E. A. Doarn and Mrs. c. M. Candy.
 Mrs. Marietta Johnson of Fairhope, Ala, who is in Phoenix to attend the State Teachers association explained the purpose and aims of the Fairhope school for children. This school IS the result of Mrs. Johnson's disap- provaI of the universal method of pro- motion through the system of exam ination. grading and standardization.

Jones, attorney general, has advised Mir. Moore that this is contrary to the law.
 He asks the county attorney to make an investigation. His letter to Mir Moore. in which he quotes the law, fol lows:
 Hon. Kirk Moore. County Attorney,
 Tucson, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 It has been brought to the attention of this department by complaint of one of your worthy citizens of Tucson that Messrs. English & Pierce, general contractors now having under construc- tion the mems dormitory at the Arizo- ma State university. flor which the state appropriated $145. .000," are em- ploying numerous Mexican citizens aliens. to the exclusion of citizens of the United States and this state de- string to labor on said construction, and would respectfully request that you investigate the matter at once as in violation of Section 46 of Chapter 174 General Appropriation Act, Laws of 1919), which is very strict very ex- plicit. and was enacted to forbid the very thing complained of in the letter now before me.
 Section 46 reads as follows
 In all cases where money appro- priated under the provisions of this act is or shall be expended for labor. only citizens of the United states or wards of the United States shall be employed, and actual bona fide resident citizens of this state shah be given the preference when ever such labor as may be required, can be found within this state, and before any labor can be sought out side of this state. either directly or indirectly, the person, contractor. firm or corporation, shall file with the state auditor a verified written statement setting out in detail the effort put forth, showing his, their, or it's inability to secure such la
 bor as is required within this state, and if the audiOr is satisfied of such inability. then the auditor may exc cute a release permitting the bring Ing into this state such citizens only of the United States as may be needed for such work. Before any money herein appropriated shall be paid out for labor or constructor, a verified statement shall be ttled
 with the auditor showing strict
 compliance with the provisions Of
 this section. If the provisions or this section are not compiled with,
 1t shall be unlawful to pay out any
 of the moneys herein appropriated
 and any contract entered into
 wherein the provisions of this sec
 ton have not been complied with

 The mystery of the mans identity Is still unsolved. and. as has been in timated throughout this story, he is not in a condition to enlighten the au thorities Efforts to find his relatives have been unavailing, and it is almost certain, the police say, that the name he gave is fictitious. The mystery, however of the bold. bad burglars, the taxicab and the account that wouldn't balance, has been more <han satisfac- torily explained.

To have a perfect stranger rush fin the office in the dead of night, hand her 5000 in currency and then disap- pear without giving name or address, was the unusual experience of Miss Florence Jackson, night clerk of the Western Union Telegraph company, last Wednesday evening.

DEATH OF THOMAS BULLOCK

Thomas Bullock, an old resident oi
this community, died week ago last
Monday at the home OF Mrs. Thomas
Wills Mr. Bullock had made his
home In the Wills family for the past
3S years and during the last years OF
his long life the members OF the fam
lily attended him as carefully and
freely as they would their own kin.
The deceased had been failing In
health for a long time and his death
was not unlocked for. His advanced
age made him very feeble and his care
was quite a burden upon those who
attended him.
Thomas Bullock was born in Corn
wall. England. May 6, 1914. He con-
tinued his residence in England until
he was 1s years OF age when he came
to America, settling first in New Jer-
sey in the year 1862. For the follow
ing % years he lived at various places
In America, following his calling as
a miner and in 1882 came TO the Me-
nominee range which at that time was
a newly developing iron ore district.
AT Iron Mountain he became ac-
quainted with the Wills family, and as
they were Just then to remove TO the
Mastodon mine he decided TO go with
them. He boarded with them at Mas
todon and when they came TO Crystal
Falls he came along and lived with
them in this city since.

ious from pneumonia which resulted
from an attack OF flu.
Mr.. Anderson and his entire family
We're taken i'll at the same time. No
assistance could be gotten and the
father neglected his own health to
attend to his wife and family with the
result that the attack was very severe
in his case.
He was in bed but few days when
death came, his weakened constitution
not being able to Withstand the shock.
The deceased was 43 years Of age
and was born in Norway. He came to
this country with his parents and set
tied first at Ishpeming where most Of
his young life was spent. About 20
years ago he came to Crystal Falls
when his parents moved here and has
resided here since.
He was one OF the most successful
farmers in the township and his death
will be greatly regretted by his large
number of friends.
He is survived by wife and seven
children, three girls, Elizabeth, Mabel
and Lucille and four boys, Walter,
Russell, Herman and Floyd. He

resides in Crystal Falls and sister,

CAUGHT COLD IN STATION
Death Of Mrs. James Claimed to Result
From Conditions AT Claiming

The Diamond Drill called attention
TO the conditions at the Claiming and
Champion stations in an issue sew
eral weeks ago. At that time we warn
ed the St. Paul Railway company and
the health officers OF the conditions
that exist at those two stations. Now
we have to record a death that IL Is
claimed, resulted directly from the
very conditions that we warned the
company OF in our issue above mem
toned.
The relatives OF Mrs, VIM. James,
whose death notice appears in another
column of this issue. say that she
caught the cold that lead to her death
while she was waiting for train con-
nections at Claiming.
The accusation is serious one and
we have only the claims of her friends
in the case, but from general condi-
tions that are known to exist in the
station me ntioned no one is at all sur
prised that a death has resulted from
H. The Champion station is worse
than the Claiming station. Both OF
those places should be closed by the
health authorities. They are not fit
places for people TO be compelled TO
wait for trains.
1t is necessary every day in the year
for passengers coming from the Mar
quette range TO wait in the station at
Champion. The room is a dark, din
gy. cold shack with about one-fourth
enough seats to accommodate the pub
lie While the trains made close con-
nections the conditions there were
not noticed so much but since 1t has
been necessary to stay from two TO ten
hours daily In that place, the public
is giving 1t considerable attention.
There is no sense in the railroad
companies maintaining such places.
The judgements In one or two sue
cessful damage claims will more than |
build decent place for the travelling |
public.
Just what action the relatives OF
Mrs. James will take in the matter
has not been disclosed but II should
be severe enough 10 wake up who
ever Is responsible for the imposition
that is put upon the travelling public
by both the Claiming and Champion
stations.

About two weeks ago announcement
was made that the Steel Corporation
had decided to increase the wages OF
the common labor at the furnaces and

was made to equaiize the wages of the
common laborer about the mills with
like labor at other places. the rate be-
ing at the time about s4.62 for 10

district made announcement Of raise
and now comes the report OF an in
crease at the Crystal Falls mines.

Supt. Bjork informed us Thursday
afternoon that the Bristol started
hoisting ore about noon that day. The

sales agents can furnish trsnsporta-
