COCHtSE JUDGE AGAINST CONVENTION SYSTEM.

Ina, the convention system is not responsive to the wish and will ,i'r .eoa! is J.s opinion Of Judge I-.g"o C. Lockwood. O. the Cochise t.sr'l Superior Court. and asked todd, " ne thought of the system. Judge Lo

 T ,an see no advantage 10 be gained by the suggested state anG county conferences.
 If it he question of ,he acti T of candidates. full machinery .s l.o- vided therefor in the ,ans;.t .tian md the primary law now n force. < far as advice on this pC.n- .' conc ned, l feel that l prefer 10 sele own candidates without outside assistance and presume most other voters feel the same way about it Of course, if I get to the place that feel am in competent to do this without instruc- tions from some wiser ,?b minds. I shall gladly abdicate my rights in tha'r favor. but not until then.
 If il be only for the formation Of a platform and declaration Of prin- cip!es. the law also provides maChin- cry for this. and any platform made by 4 conference would be of no bind
 ing power whatever. The men pro vided for in the statutes must make the platform. and the candidates are | bound thereby, anything in confer ence to the contrary notwithstanding
 Any action Of ei;her a state or county conference could and would be considered only as .he act Of one par t;cu!ar faction Of ;he party. and ! think we have too many factions now without the necessity of adding an other !, could in my opinion. pro duce only discord. rather than har- mony in the ranks of the party

 Arizona is overstocked with burros Once they were used by the thousands around the mining camps. to bring ore and wood down from the hills.

BILL INTRODUCED FOR SUSPENSION OF THIS YEARS
 ASSESSMENT WORK

With assessment work a very inter esting factor al this time. the follow ins news item will prove interesting:
 Various mining interests have call ed attention 10 the fact that i, would he desirable for Congress 10 again sus. pend the requirement for performing assessment work on mining claims Under the present law this assess ment work must be performed within the fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 20 the following year Assessment work for 192I-22 must be performed before June %. 1922 Due to inactivity in the mining industry and the fact that many mines are closed. it has been pointed ont that the requirement 10 perform assess ment work this year will prove a ser ious hardship Some months ago. i. was indicated that Congress would not further suspend the assessment requirement but appreciating the con- dition of the mining industry. Senator Stanfield Oregon. has introduced a resolution susnending the assessment work until June 90, 1924"
 Each year when such bill came up before congress there was little known as what the fate Of the bill would be until the last moment The bill mentioned above has been intro duced early enough this time to allow disposing of il one way or the other to avoid the disagreeable features Of former years
 The Daily Prospector will, as in former years. keep its readers ac- crrate!y informed as to the outcome.
 The claim owner should realize. however, that # is hazardous game to wait too long in doing assessment work and should take those chances with eyes wide open.
