MAY PRODUCE 4
 NEW DRILL HERE
Stickney Expansion Drill Den- onFrations Said to Presage Erection of Factory Here to
 Put Out Economical Drill Bits

Charles L. Stickney, inventor of the "Stickney expansion drill" yes
 terday brought a sample of rock, drilled by his machine. to the cham Der of commerce office for exhibi- ton purposes. The hole was drilled with an air hammer in ten minutes.
 SticknE received patent to his drill in July, 1919. He also holds his patent in three foreign countries and applications are pending in two at the present time
 This drill, according to Stickney, saves from 25 to 40 per cent of the powder used and from 10 to 25 per cent of the number of holes drilled Stickney is a resident of Prescott and all of his work prior to obtain ing patent was done in this city. It is his intention to open up the first plant to produce these drills in Pres colt.
 A test of the drill on the cross cut being driven from the tunnel of the Philadelphia Mining company, George P Harrington's Crown King to strike the vein of the old War Eagle Gladiator mine, proved most satisfactory, and Har- rington later wrote to E. C. White sitt, who is associated with Stick ney, complimenting him upon the results obtained by the drill, which was perfected by Stickney after three and half years work.
 Placed i'll a hole drilled, say, .our feet, four inches, with a stand lrd drill, the Stickney expansion -ock drill will drive an expanded lole from the standard l15 inches to 'H inches, continuing the 214-inch lole as far as you want to go. This irill," he continued, "puts the large md of the drill hole at the bottom, md thus effects a considerable sav- ng in power by enabling the charge O be placed where 1t will do the most work at the least cost"

SCORE BECOME
 VOTERS IN J. 5.
Naturalization Courts Work Made More Easy by Instruc- ton of Aliens in Duties and Privileges of Citizenship by Jerome School

Arizona and the United States has nearly a score of new voters, as a result of yesterdays session of the naturalization court. A much quicker, smoother process was prepared for the aliens who yesterday Npassed the examiner and the court and were awarded their final papers before Judge John J. Sweeney.
 Most of the petitioners were miners and other mine employees from Jerome. There, they had undergone a course of sprouts in citizenship, provided by the Jerome public schools under the direction of A. E. Eldredge, former examiner for this territory but lately employed as a worker among the foreign-born employees of the United Verde Cop per company. Each alien who had attended the school and passed was provided with a certificate of grad nation, signed by Secretary of Labor w. B. Wilson, Frank Anderson, deputy examiner, the commissioner of immigration at Washington, Stu perintendent J. C. Mullen of the Je- rome public schools, and MT. FL dredge, instructor.
 Examination of these men as to their qualifications for citizenship was briefer than that given men who had not availed themselvss Of the opportunity.
 A great many petitioners and their witnesses had come over from Je- rome and at the Owl yesterday, held a luncheon at which nearly 50 were present. Each petitioner and wit ness and others interested in the ses- sion, wore knots of red, white and blue on his lapel.
 In the course of the examination, number of cases were found where there was some question regarding the applicants military service record. Cases in which exemption from the draft was involved, were questioned more closely and some of them were held up.
 At the close of the session, cer- tificates Of citizenship were awarded to the following Is men:
 Charles Erickson, Giuseppe Joe Rigo, John Cresto, Santiago Tisnado, Mattia Rinaldi, Pavas (PauD Vojnic, Frank Zamar, Christopher John Thomas, John Frank Poskowski. Joseph Edward Ruzic, John Revello. Peter Groseta, Tony Bastiano Gas Iaritz, John Myrmo, John Ernst, Andrew Kendrick Williams, Walter Nicderer, Guido Mariani.

CATTLE LOSS DUE TO

Forest Service Experiments in South West Show Cut Would Aid
 Grazing
Special to the Journal-Miner)

1 ALBUQUERQUE, N M., Feb 5
 Experiments being conducted on the Jornada range, in New Mexico by the United States forest service, indicate that the number of animals for the permanent breeding herd in that region should be only about 50 iper cent of the carrying capacity of the range ill good years, according to statement of Grazing Examiner l.. W. Nelson in charge oi the re serve This takes into account the 'rcduCtion in forage and carrying e.
 pacity in times of drought and ai-
 lows range Of safety for c.ncrgen-
 cics
 Cattle raising on the open ranges
 of the southwest in the past has
 been full of vicissitudes and it was for the purpose of developing some plan of management that would stabilize livestock industry and help stock owners to meet trying condi- tions that the tornado. range reserve, near Las Cruces, \. M., was estab- lished in 1912.
 The studies carried on at the Jor- nado reserve show that overstocking the range at any time, and especial ly during drought Is a poor practice, that light grazing during the main growing season is necessary to main tain the grama grass, that a steady improvement in the grade of the range cattle can be by following definite plan of breeding, and that careful handling and keeping of breeding COWS in thrifty condition will increase the number of calves raised on the range 25 to 50 per cent.
 Reducing the number of animals prior to drought, reserving grama grass range for poor stock and giv- ing supplemental feed, weaning the calves early properly distributing the watering places and vaccinating for blackleg have kept the average an nual stock loss on the reserve for five years, including period of drought down to l.9 per cent The average annual loss on the open range in southern New Mexico dur ing the same period estimated at l6.7 per cent with maximum loss of 5 per cent in 1918.

Nothing Shy of. Northern Ari- zona Inter-Scholastic Basket ball Championship Will Sat isfy Badgers This Season


 The Prescott High school basket ball team is out for the state cham -pionship in the Iuter-IIigh School league, and they "ant people to know it.
 Never before in the history of the institution have the prospects of winning this title been as rosy as they are this year. The Badgers have lost only two games this season and these were played with the Tempe Normal, which school, how lever, is not a member of the Inter High School league. The local goal hounds have defeated Clarkdale twice, Jerome and the Flagstaff Normal once.
 A game has been scheduled with month on our local court and it IS this game that will tell the tale in Prescott's campaign for the title The Phoenix sphere twirlers have defeated everything in the valley. If the Badgers can defeat them the other contestants for the champion ship will not constitute a very great obstacle.
 A return game has been scheduled with Jerome on the 18th of this month on the Jerome court.
 The local lads are going to the northern Arizona tournament held at
 Flagstaff on the 18th of February. Success here will determine whether Prescott will be represented at the state tournament held i'll the valley, and resulting in the state champion ships.
 Coach Napier is rounding the squad into shape for the coming contests. Every man on the team IS doing his best to prepare for the Phoenix game in an attempt to undo the football defeat the local eleven suffered at the hands of the Phoe- niciahs last fall. For this reason the next goal-shooting contest will be the hardest game of the season and those who like good game Of basketball and who have any inter est i'll the High schools progress in athletics, should attend.
 Activity in basketball IS not con fined alone to the varsity squad i'll the local High school. The fresh- men of this institution have organ ized a team under the capable direc- ton of Marsh Smith and are to put to use what knowledge of the game they have absorbed since the first of the season in a game with Hum boldt on the Humboldt court the l2th of this month.
 The team from the Shelter city IS the identical one that the Biles- Lockhart five defeated in a game of recent date.
 This contest would appear to be quite an undertaking for the fresh- men but they may bring nome the heavy end of the score. It is hard to tell what a freshman will do
 The practice or early training in basketball should be encouraged. It leads to a much better grade of the sport in secondary schools.

DECREASE LAND
 TO BE WATERED

There are 8l0,599 acres of land in irrigation enterprises in the state of Arizona, according to preliminary announcement just made by the cen sus bureau, copy of which has been received here. This represents a de- crease of Ill per cent since 1910 and bears out the campaign contention of Governor Campbell and others to the effect that no earth had been turned on a new irrigation project in this state since the advent of democratic control in Washington.
 Yavapai county, although listed as .a mining county in all statistics of the state, has increased its irrigation project territory in the past decade, from 16,588 acres in 1910 to 17,1O8 last year. Acreage actually irrigated in Yavapai county amounted to H. 566 in 1920, an increase Of nearly s per cent in ten years
 Arizona in 1919 irrigated 467, ,349 acres as compared with 32O05l in 1909.

 Prescott citizens who have been wondering whether the season was going to bring forth a demonstra- ton worthy of its name, were tramping around yesterday, growing at the futility of the little snow fur ries that followed and were swal- lowed up in little rain squalls.

 The report of the fire department comes in for a measure of praise land the mayor recommends the study of the report and carrying out Isuch policies as it suggests.

In 1920, however, $lO,00O was spent for sewer extensions and near fly S40,000 f6r water works improve ments.
 Prescott owes $1O,52694 ill pay ment of street grading since 1901. Holders of these warrants are draw ing interest but, it is said by the mayor, would probably exchange them for hard cash in less amounts than their faces The bills, incurred from 1901 to 1903 at time when the bottom of the war-bag was close to the top, should have been paid long ago; as a matter of fact, money has been raised for that purpose and used elsewhere, the mayor says.
