ARIZONA COURT RECOGNIZES WITCHCRAFT. ORDERS GIRL
 REMOVED FROM EVIL SPELL

Witches are not being burned in Gavapai county, but persons under their alleged spells may be removed from the sphere of influence.
 This was the effect of an order is- sued in the superior court here, trans ferring l5-year-old Jennie Baca to the custody of the juvenile court and plac- ing her in private academy.
 Complaint that the girl was be- witched at her home at Humboldt, near Prescott, caused her to be placed in the care of the matron at the coun- ty jail. At the court hearing it was testified that, as result of spells cast by two distant aged relatives, Jennie had been caused to "cough up" a butcher knife, hair pins, safety pins, ordinary pins and a quantity of seed corn.
 Her father, Emilio Baca, testified that the child's mother had died as result of the alleged spells. Officers who visited the Baca home said they were told it required four men to hold the girl at times.

MATCHING FEDERAL AID
 FUNDS IN ARIZONA

There is much propaganda now be- ing aimed at the legislature for the purpose of having money appropri- ated by that body to "match federal aid' in the matter of building state roads. This propaganda has already had its effects on some members of the legislature who do not fully realize the industrial condition in Arizona to- day. With every prominent industry in the state now crippled and barely able to crawl through the dull period which no one seems to know how long will last; with 30 per cent of the tax eS due for the first six months tax paying period of the present year de- linquent; with no market for the sixty million value in cotton predicted in Arizona last spring by Governor Campbell; with practically no market for cattle and with very poor pros pect for grass to carry the stock on the range through the coming sum mer; with the copper industry at the very bottom of the successful ladder, where is the money to come from to match federal aid in road building" or any other endeavor?

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 WILL PROBE SISK CHARGE

Telegrams have been flying thick and fast between Phoenix and Hol- brook over the matter of the charge that was filed some week ago in the courts here against F.. B. Sisk, on the charge of rape in connection with Mrs. Hazel Peek, who was at the time in charge of the sheriff in another matter. At the time the Holbrook Tribune felt that it appeared to be a sort of trumped up charge and we stated in our columns that it looked as though some people here were at tempting to besmirch the character of Mir. Sisk.
 Now comes Thomas A. Flynn, Unit ed States district attorney for Ari- zona, who wants g. hearing in the mat ter, and the case has been set for to- morrow Saturday. in the justice court. Mr. Flynn, MT. Sisk, and all parties interested will be present to take part. County Attorney Greer has decided to have the hearing on that date, desiring that all fairness be accorded Mir. Sisk. The action of MT. Flynn in the matter is evidently by order of the department of justice, Washington desiring to clear up the charge against MT. Sisk, who is the special agent in charge in Arizona for the federal department of justice
 The whole matter started in the ar rest of Harry Davis, or Popovich, a Roumanian, who was arrested here by the sheriff on the receipt of a tele- gram from New Mexico, charging Da- wis with having robbed Mrs. Hazel Peek, with whom he was travelling from Detroit, the latter having been charged with having left her husband and child in the latter city. Davis was arrested, and while nothing was done here in the matter, he was charged with white slavery, and Mr. Sisk came Up to have the pair taken to the fed eral court in Phoenix. It was during the stay in Holbrook that the com plaint was sworn to by the woman, supposed to be instigated by others in order to secure the release of Davis, her companion, and at the same time to stir up a sensation with reference to MT. Sisk.
 The pair were taken to Phoenix by SiSk, and now comes the announce ment that the district attorney of the United States is to take up the mat ter of the investigation and push it to a finality at the hearing tomorrow Holbrook Tribune.

SEN. CAMERON RETURNS
 FROM VISIT TO OBREGON

United States Senator-elect Ralph H. Cameron, of Arizona, has returned from Mexico City. He said he went to the Mexican capital to obtain in formation to present to congress when the question of the recognition of the Mexican government arises.
 He added that he obtained a mass of such information. including reports on industrial, social and other condi- tions. He was advised, he said, it would be highly desirable for Ameri- cans to be more strongly represented in industries in Mexico in view of the strong position of nationals of several European countries in various Mexi- can industries.
 Travelling westward from San An tonio, Tex, Senator-elect Cameron said he rode several hundred miles with Maj. Gen. Dickman, commanding the eighth corps area; that he im- pressed on Gen. Dickman the need for permanent army post at Douglas, Ariz., to replace Camp Harry J. Jones, and that the commander said he both recognized the need and would rec ommend the establishment of such a permanent post.

ROAD PROVES
 BEST IN YUMA COUNTY

Now that the reports are coming in of concrete roads breaking up and going to pieces, it is interesting to recall the agitation and furor raised by the Portland cement interests in favor of concrete at the time bids were being considered for building what is now the Warrenite road be- tween Yuma and Somerton. We were told by the clever cement promoters that once concrete was laid our road expense would be over for years and years.
 The additional heavy bond issues in various parts of the country now be- ing voted to resurface brittle concrete roads, only two to four years old, shows Yuma county what it escaped when it chose Warrenite.
 Our Somerton road is in perfect condition.
 This rolled rock base and bithulitic cement and crushed rock surface call ed Warrenite- Bithulitic, has given wonderful service under heavy traf- fc conditions, and Yuma county can be congratulated that its choice of type several years ago has saved it from the necessity of voting bonds to relay CT surface the entire road Somerton Star.

YAVAPAI UP IN
 ARMS AGAINST LAPS

This is not the first time that the Verde district has had an oriental problem, according to pioneers whose memory runs back fifteen or twenty years.
 That time it was Chinese who threatened to gain a foothold in this section. Now it is the Japanese.
 The exact year of the Chinese in vasion cannot be ascertained but it was between fifteen and twenty years back. A colony of the Mongolians took a lease on a farm just below Camp Verde, with the idea of raising garden truck.
 Indignation ran high and in some manner the Chinese were persuaded to move on. One account is that a party of cowboys called at the ranch and told them that the neighborhood was extremely unhealthy for them. At any rate, they hurriedly departed. Most of them came to Jerome and went into the laundry business, that being regarded as a legitimate occu- patton for a Chinaman.-Jerome News.

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE

There has been some federal aid re- ceived in Arizona during the past year, but it has been mostly received because counties of the state have matched it by the issuing of bonds. The only way the state of Arizona can match federal aid is by direct taxa tion and this would seem impossible in the face of the inability of the proper ty owners of the state to pay their taxes at the present rate of levies. If it is true that 30 per cent of the tax account due last October is now de- lnQuent, then this means, that taking out the mining and railroad taxes which have been paid, there is de- lnquency of more than half the taxes due from all other property. In Mar icopa county it is said that more than forty-two per cent of the taxes due last fall are delinquent. It is because of this condition that the Daily Inter- national has been insisting that the present legislature should cut appro- priations to the bone and make sure that the present rate of taxation is not increased.
 We have always favored the build ing of roads, but Arizona is not in a condition to match federal aid by di- rect taxation which would be the eff feet of the omnibus road appropria- ton bill. It might be advisable for some of the counties desperately in need of roads to match the federal aid as they have been doing by issuing bonds, but to undertake to match mil lions of dollars of federal aid by di- rect taxation would be beyond the ability of the taxpayers to pay Douglas International.

short distance before it came to rest.
 In it's drop to earth, friction with the atmosphere of the earth heated the outside of the meteor to such an extent that it shed particles from its sides. These were particles compared to the size of the meteor, though some of them were pretty large to be called particles, at least one of them weigh ing l 800 pounds.
 Volz, who used to run the trading post at Canyon Diablo which is still conducted under his name, found that these fragments of the meteor were valuable, though he did not know how valuable. lte gathered and sold many tons of then at 75 cents pound. Ev- cry fragmenI so far found contains, with little or no variation, two per cent platinum and six per cent nickel. Platinum is worth $120 an ounce. So a pound of the meteor is worth about $36 for it's Llatinum alone, to say nothing of its nickel content.
 The U. s. Smelling Co. has gather ed up lot of the fragments gcod many tons in all. Their claims cover 320 acres and there was lot of the stuff lying around on the surface part ly imbedded that had not been car ried away by Volz and others.
 When the drilling is done, a shaft will be sunk and drifted until the meteor is found. It is estimated that it weighs several million tons; SO it can easily be understood why, once it is located. it may prove to be the larg- est and most valuable mine in the world. There may be big town at Meteor mountain some day, perhaps soon.
 Meteors are not easy to rob of their precious contents. There are many fragments of this and other meteors to be found in this section. They can not be drilled, blasted or worked up in any way so far discovered except with electric needles. That is the method, it is expected, that will be used for disintegrating the big meteor if it is found.
 The hole made by the meteor is more than 500 feet deep. It probably was at least 200 feet deeper at first, but it has gradually been filled in. 1t is believed that the meteor itself is about 800 yards in diameter. As it must be extremely dense and heavy, it isn't a thing a man can put in his coat pocket and walk away with.
 If the meteor is as large as believed, is as rich in platinum as shown by the samples, and is found, the effect on the worlds production of platinum will be immense. The largest annual production of platinum was in 1912, when the total production was only 313,529 troy ounces. Only 721 ounces were produced in the United States, Russia producing 100000 ounces, Co., lombia, s. A., 12,000 uonces; Canada, 90 ounces; New South Wales and Tas- mania, ITS ounces.
 The Indians have legend that their forefathers saw the meteor fall, and that two other smaller ones fell at the same time.
 There recently was an old-timer in this section who said that he saw the meteor fall; that he was only few rods away from it when it struck. Of course, he was cheerful liar, for had he been that close he would not have talked about it afterward. How long ago it fell, no one seems to know. It may have been hundreds of wears ago.
