nothing new, but, on the contrary, was
known to the ancient Egyptians. lie
said the secret of 1t was lost many
centuries ago. Mr.. Baines said that
years ago while he was standing In the
British museum before painted lime
stone sculpture of Kharfra, an Egyp-
tian king of the fourth dynasty, VINO
built the second of the great pyramids
of Gizeh, he noticed the figure was
holding two small rods shaped some
thing like the grip on a bicycle. There
after he began series of long ex-
periments to discover the substance
which the king held, but he failed In
his search until one day when he was
trying to improve the microphone, for
which he prepared several carbon pen
ellis which had been hardened by a
special process of his own, lie SAID
that quite accidentally he touched one
of these carbon pencils and was sur
prised to find that his galvanic deflec-
ton swung from positive to negative.
This led to further experiments, and
he finally found that the ordinary are
carbon, when hardened by his process,
gave out force which could not be
distinguished from nerve force. The
bars are about six inches long and are
capped at the ends witt celluloid. Mr..
BaInes asserted the carbon rods have
been of great aid in treating cases OF
nervous breakdown, deafness, anemia
and many other complaints. lie de-
clared he did not know what the new
force was.

AFFIDAVITS OPPOSING
THE APPOINTMENT
OF VEST FILED
Contend That He Has Not Paid Poll,
Personal or License Tax and is Not
a Citizen f Rosemary.
DID NOT LIST FOR TAXES

Washington, March Is.
Another postofIice appointment
wrangle in North Carolina reach
ed the affidavit stage to day when
the senate postoffice committee
received aflidavits concerning
the eligibility of J. L. Vest to be
postmaster at Rosemary. These
afhdavits cover the residence
qualifications of Vest, his alleged
failure to pay a board bill, and
his failure to pay a peddler S
license.
Opponents of Mr.. Vest IN Rose.
mary and Washington charge
that he is not really resident Of
Rosemary, but is an itinerant
peddler of socks and other
articles. One point in the fight
waged by Senator Simmons
against the confirmation of Mr..
Vest is the claim he was selected
by the Republican organization
for partisan political purposes
and in preference to D. P. Wike,
an ex-service man who is favored
by most of the patrons of the
office.
Affidavits forwarded to Wash
ington for consideration of the
senate committee include:
Affidavits of R. L. Dickens,
register of deeds for Halifax
county, that Vest did not list any
property in Halifax or any poll
in the year 1920, and that he has.
therefore, not been a citizen of
Rosemary for two years as re-
CURED by law to make him eli
gible for postmaster.
J. r. Beard, tax collector for
the township in which Rosemary
is located, makes affidavit that
Vest paid no tax in Halifax
county for the years 1917 and
1918.
J. L. Cobb, S. E. Medlin w.
C. Williams, J. P. Ashworth, B.
P. Cooper and c. A. Boyd, each
and all longtime residents OF
Rosemary, make afidavits sepe-
rately that John L. Vest has not
resided continuously in Rosemary
for the past two years as required
by law to make him eligible for
postmaster.
Other afidavits are from Mrs.
J. A. Philly and Mrs. D. D. Nc
Intyre, boarding house proprie-
tors, Of Henderson, N. c. Mrs.
PhilIy says that in July, 1921,
Vest secured board for himself
and two other men at her house,
and that Mr.. Vest was slow in
paying the bill. Mrs. Mcintyre
claims that Mr.. Vest still owes her
$40 for the board of two men
whom he brought to her house
to obtain lodging.
The Dobbins affidavit continues
THAT | am deputy sheriff for
Halifax county and, as such
officer, have the authority to

lege taxes; that the said John L.
Vest peddled socks on the streets
Of the said village Of Rosemary,

never paid any taxes for said
license, and that have been un-

DEMOCRATS MEET AT COURT HOUSE
 NEXT TUESDAY

There will be a meeting of the dem- ocratic county central committee at the courthouse next Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at which meeting all democrats who have the success of the party at heart are cordially invit- ed to attend. The meeting has been called primarily for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state demo- cratic convention, which is called to meet at Tucson on the 18th of next month.
 At meeting of the democrats from all over the state, held in Phoenix last month, it was decided that a meeting of the party representatives be held in Tucson for te purpose of getting together and paving the way to a better understanding and to elimi- nate, so far as possible, the surplusage of candidates that bob up at each primary, so that the best men of the party may be induced to become can didates, and from which possibly bet ter selections may be made by the people. Few men want to enter 8 general scramble for office, and there fore it may be said that the best in the party is not usually selected.
 This is the first get-together meet ing of the party since statehood and it may do some good in bringing a better understanding of the impor- tant subjects that will confront not only the democratic party, but the people of the state at large, at the forthcoming elections. Many meas ures that will change our entire sys- tenn of lawmaking, and many that will have to do with the future of the state, will be up for action, and the people should be advised, as well as advising themselves, as to the merits or demerits of every subject. Many of these measures are now be- fore the people and will be voted upon at the primaries in September next. If this meeting is success it is the intention of the other parties to also have a meeting for the same purpose.
 The importance of these meetings are not to be discounted, as Arizona interests demand the best officers that can be put forward. Let everyone who believes in good government turn out and aid in the selection of proper representatives to these gatherings.

ASSESSMENT WORK SHOULD BE DONE
 BEFORE JULY lST

The attention of the Miner has been called to the many and conflicting opinions regarding the new law relat- inq to annual assessment work, we would say that the better part of wis dom would be for all those owning unpatented mining claims to see that the work for the year 1921-22 is done before the first day of the coming July. The act changing the assess ment year from the calendar year to the fiscal year simply changed the dates between which assessment work should be done. If mining claim was located prior to the first day of July. 1921, the annual work on that claim must be done before the first day of July, 1922. It would be the same under the old law. Was claim located before the first day of Jan uary, 1921, annual labor would have to be performed on it before the first day of January, 1922, and so on. We cannot conceive why any contention should arise regarding the interpre- tation of the new law, it simply al lowed mine owners six months longer in which to do their 1920 assessment work, the date being extended to July, 1921. Another act changed the calen- dar year to the fiscal year, and while this act did not become effective until August of last year, it nevertheless fixed the date so firmly that under no condition could it move the date or assessment work forward another year. The requisite for the permis- sion granted to citizens of the United States to locate and hold mining claims on the public domain is that they shall do at least $100 worth of labor or improvement on each of such claims during each fiscal year. The fiscal year begins on the 1st day of July and ends on the 30th of June, but that there may be no mistaldng of the date, the law makers in their wisdom, set the date when the year expires at 12 M. July 1. Therefore if you value your mining claims, do the work before the first day of July, 1922.

the future of the United States of America. If we believe in our coun- try, let us show our faith by our works. During periods of prosperity the Government may wisely postpone the construction of desirable projects and thus avoid paying high prices for materials and extraordinary wages for labor. But in times like the pres ent, when millions of men are idle, when factories are closed and business is depressed, Congress should set a courageous example by voting money for the improvement of rivers and harbors, the construction of public buildings, the reclamation of waste lands, and every other kind of public works.
 Two hundred and fifty billion dol lars is a conservative estimate of our national wealth. Why should we hes itate to expend less than 1 per cent of that amount on internal improve ments based upon the best of engi- neering advice and all of which is not wasted, as in the costs of warfare, but permanently invested in productive construction which as time goes on will confer benefits to the American people far in excess of the sums ap- propriated. (Applause.)

 lievers in the efficiency of good roads and has done more than any other man to get road work under way and to maintain the roads of the county in the best possible shape. We know this, as the writer has worked with him and received from him able as sistance in good road work. He has always worked hard for every inter- est that tended to the development of Mohave county's interest and the people may be assured that if he re- tains his office he will continue the good work.
 w. P. Mahoney is again candi- date for the office that he has so creditably filled the past four years, and there does not appear one cogent reason why he should not again be the man at the helm in the sheriff's office. No more active officer has ever filled the sheriff's office in Mo have county. During the time he has held this position he has done more to clear the criminal element from our borders, broken up more bootleg nests and captured more automobile ban dits than. any officer in the state. He serves them all alike, which is as far as any man may go.
 w. H. Welsh is a candidate to suc- ceed himself in the office of Recorder, presenting himself at the democratic primaries. MT. Welsh has been a res ident of Mohave county many years, coming here with the Gold Road Min ing and Exploration company and staying with that organization until the mines were taken over by the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining company. He was also justice of the peace of the big original gold camp of San Frapcisco district and was later postmaster of that place, all of which positions he filled with ability and credit. Two years ago he became clerk of the board of super visors and later was appointed Re- corder. In all of these positions he was ever found courteous and accomo- dating, and if he is retained in the po- sition the people will have made no mistake.
 Mrs. R. A. Lassell, who has so ably filled the office of County Superin- tendent of Schools the past six years, is in the running for that position again, presenting her name for con ssideration at the democratic pri- maries. Mrs. Lassell needs no intro 'duction to the people of this county. She has been one of the most active , county school superintendents in the state during her terms of office and the people sure appreciate the service she has given them.
 Hadok Sheffield, who has held the office of Justice of the Peace at Oat- man the past four years, has entered the race for the office of county re- corder, his announcement appearing in this issue of the Miner. MT. Shef- field has been an active officer dur ing the years he has looked after the civil and criminal business of the big gold camp and has made host of friends not only in that district but wherever he is known. He has the ability, is genial and accommodating and would make an excellent official.
 Senator James Curtin will again be before the democratic primaries for reelection to the office which he has so ably filled during the past year. The people of Mohave county cannot
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-04-28

but appreciate the good work he has done for them in the two sessions of the legislature, and this good work sure deserves further recognition. As senator he has secured Legislator thru an adverse legislature that few other men could secure, and the people owe him a reelection.
