The Fair was held too early in the

MINING ACTIVITY IN VARIOUS PARTS
 STATE IS SHOWN

PHOENIX, July 8.-A reflection of the increased mining activity in Mo- have and Yavapai counties is seen in the large number of applications filed with the Arizona Corporation com mission for permission to sell stock.
 The Blackberry Extension Mining Co.,, operating nine claims in Mohave county has been issued a permit au- thorizing it to sell 500,O00 shares of stock at five cents per share.
 The Fleck Gold Mining and Milling Co.,, operating in the Gold Basin dis .trict, has been issued a permit auth orizing it to issue 97,500 shares of its capital stock to c. L. Fleck and as- sociates in exchange for properties, and also 60,000 shares to be placed on the market at 50 cents per share. Among other things the company plans the erection of a small mill at cost of $6,00O.
 \ The Tom Reed Gold Mines Co.,, op- ,erating in the San Francisco district is authorized to sell 90,455 shares at $1 per share. ...
 The Moss Mines Co. is authorized to sell 500,000 shares at 10 cents per share. This company's property was not worked during 1918, 1919 or 1920 as the company was out of funds. Since the first of the year, however, work has been carried on continu- ously with three shifts of miners, cash being advanced by interested stock holders. I
 The following applications have been filed with the investment depart ment of the commission this week: Ruby Silver Co.,, of Prescott, to issue 100000 shares at 25 cents per share; Verde, Central Mines, (fnc.) to issue 100000 shares at 30 cents per share; Nancy Lee Mining Co.,, of Oatman, to issue 100000 shares at 25 cents per share.
 Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Ambassador Gold Mining Co.,, with 100000 shares of capital stock having a par value of $1 per share. The directors are P. H. Hayes, Raymond Alice and Chas. Walters of Phoenix.

canal heading. The government be- came interested and investigation was made of three sites. d
 Then came heavy flood, which swept away the rock-fill dam at the canal head, and the farmers had no means. of getting water into the canal. There were forced to put in temporary brush weirs, which requir- ed repair after each flood, and this unsatisfactory method obtained until now.

Big Drive Herds 15,0OO Rabbits

In a big rabbit drive which the county agent arranged in Brown County, Tex, 800 drivers herded some 15,0O0 rabbits and killed part of them. The big drive demonstrated two things-that the rabbits are plentiful enough in the southern part of the county to destroy all crops this year and also that rabbits can be driven in brush territory as well as in the open. Other drives of not quite as large proportions were held later in the month.

WATER HEARINGS IN .
 OTHER PARTS OF STATE

Phoenix, July 15.-It was a choice albeit sordid collection of dead liz yards, scorpions, tarantulas and rabbit which met the eyes of Loren Vaughn, corporation commissioner, when he 1 conducted hearing the other day rel
 ative to service complaints against the Thatcher Water Go. of Thatcher. The collection of deceased things that crawl was introduced in evidence as having been taken from the tank used as the source of supply by the water company.
 In addition to testimony tending to show the deplorable condition of the reservoir it was also testified that cattle had visited the tank and used it for drinking and wading purposes. The bottom of the tank, it was claim ed was covered with a foot and a half to two feet of mud and slime, indi- eating that it had not been cleaned out in months, and strong testimony to this charge was borne by the odor of the water which the patrons are compelled to use for drinking and other domestic purposes.
 The management of the company admitted that the conditions might be improved but stated that this was im- possible unless the commission would grant him a raise in rates. :,
 A complaint of another nature was raised by some 40 residents of Gen. tral, neighboring town, supplied by the same company is attempting to deliver water to Central patrons through a pipe line one half to three quarters of an inch in diameter, but with apparently poor success. One patron testified that one night he left the faucet open all night but was un- able to fill a single bucket.
 The complaints of the water users and the application of the company to increase rates were taken under 'ad- visement, with the prospect of an early decision which will dispose of the matter of service first and the in- crease of rates second.
 From Thatcher Commissioner Vaughn went to Metcalfe to conduct another water hearing. The Arizona Copper Go. has applied for permission to cut of both water and electric light service from the town of Metcalfe, claiming that it supplying these com modities at loss.
 It was brought out in the hearing that the company buys it's water from the Detroit company of Morenci, pay ing 22 cents per gallon and charging a flat rate of $2 per month. The commissioner brought out the point that the company might effect an economy by cutting down the number of public hydrants used by the Mexi- can population. Questioning also brought out the fact that the patrons would have no objection to slight inerease to the same rate as that paid at Clifton.
 At Tucson Mir. Vaughn heard the application of Dick Purcell and c. A. Kenton to operate stage line be- tween Tucson and San Xavier mission. There being no opposition 1t is ex- pected that the certificate of conven- fence and necessity will be granted.
 MT. Vaughn left Thursday night for Flagstaff to attend the second annual conference between the Arizona Wool Growers Association and the Arizona Cattle Mems association. D. R. John son, rate expert with the commission will address the meeting on the mat ter of securing more favorable freight rates on wool from Arizona points to the east. E

the heart and soul of a tough, as II
were, the part of him that his girl
loves and he himself is ashamed to
recognize. He marries Julie. a

her. But he loves her all the same,
and when she tells him she is TO
have a child, rushes to the window
and shouts to all the world. naively,

to procure some money, he goes into

Liliom's own idea of Judgment Day.

ing points. Liliom has difficulty in
explaining himself. chiefly because
as a tough, he cannot bring himself
to admit any good impulses. And
so he is condemned to sixteen years
in the crimson fire" after which he
is to return to earth to do one good
deed wherewith to redeem himself
to Ms wife and 16-year-old daugh-
ter. When he does make his re-
turn to earth, Julie. his wife, of
course does not recognize him, and
Louise, his daughter, tells him that
her father was a handsome man
who went to America and died
there. Liliom, posing as a beggar,
tries to tell her that her father
used to beat her mother, but Julie
calls him a liar and orders him
away. In his anxiety to please he
offers his daughter a star which he
has brought to her from Heaven.
but when she refuses it, slaps her
hand resoundingly and goes away,
while the Heavenly policemen who
have accompanied him shake their
heads deploringly. But Louise does
not forget. Mother" she says,

you-has anyone ever hit you with
out hurting you in the least?" Yes,

membering Liliom. that someone
may beat you and beat you and
beat you-and not hurt you at ALL"

cality which is hardest of all to

funniest things we have read In a
