OFFICIAL VOTE Is RETURNED ON ALL
 AMENDMENTS

Following an official canvass yes terday of the statewide returns of the vote cast for the constitutional amendments submitted to the voters of the state at the special election held on Sept. 12 in conjunction with the primary election, all eight of the amendments were declared defeated. The board which canvassed the re- turns was composed of Gov Thomas E. Campbell, Ernest R. Hall, secre- tary of state, and Chief Justice Henry D. Ross of the supreme court.
 With one exception, all of the pro- posed amendments to the constitu- tion were defeated by large majorities in each of the II counties of the state. The one exception was the CO., operative marketing amendment for farmers for which a majority vote of nearly 1000 in favor of the amend ment was cast in Maricopa county. This measure, however, was defeated in the statewide vote by a majority of almost 1000.
 Six of the proposed amendments were defeated by majorities of ap- proXimately 1S,000, while the remain ing one, that of the proposed amend ment to increase the bonded indebt- edness of the state, was lost by a ma jority of approximately 12,000 votes. or 5000 less than the other six. This measure was supported by the eX- service men in the state on account of the Arizona land settlement act passed for the benefit of eX-servica men.

COPPER QUEEN IS OPERATING ON A
 BIGGER SCHEDULE

B1SBEE, Ariz., Sept. 27-Business conditions in this camp have been much improved during the past sev- eral months, due to the resumption ; of copper production of both of the larger companies. Preparations for the resumption have been going on for several months past and while present conditions indicate that full production is still in the future, local observers are inclined to believe that good times are closer than is indi- cated by present production figures.
 The Calumet & Arizona recently completed the concrete work on the Junction Shaft, extending the full five compartments from the 1857 level to the 2,357 level. The same company has also completed the sink ing of the Campbell Shaft which it is planned will be used for hoisting purposes when a full production schedule shall be put on. All ore from the c. & A. properties is now being hauled to the Junction Shaft and hoisted there.
 The Copper Queen is operating on a much larger schedule than during the past several months, an extra division having been added some weeks ago. The recent purchase Of the Higgins property at the extreme northwest end of the proven ore area by the Copper Queen has demonstrat- ed the faith of the Phelps Dodge people in future ore occurrences anu has caused local claim owners and business men to feel more secure in the possibilities of the district.
 Labor conditions are very satis- factory, both large companies stead, fly increasing their forces and turn ing away few, if any, applicants. Employment managers of both com panies announce that a satisfactory labor supply is being obtained, more men coming in every week. A great number of the employments being made at the present time are former residents of the district who have been away during the depressions but who are now returning. Bisbee has always been fortunate in the fact that it has been known as white mans camp and since the recent raise in wages and the reductions in cost of living, made possible by the installation of self service stores and the low wering of rentals, miners are coming in steadily to meet the in- creased demand. No men are be- ing put to work temporarily, all employments being made for steady work, policy which was adopted due to the fact that the mining com panies realize the importance of steady employment and their judg- ment is being vindicated in the fact that high class of miners is con- ing to the district.
 Although all ore now being sent to the smelters is from underground operations, work on Sacramento Hill will be resumed immediately upon an increased demand for copper be- coming apparent and the new con centrator of the Copper Queen will be started when Hill operations are resumed.

RANGERS WATCH EAGLES
 ATTACK ON YOUNG DEER
The eagle is a predatory bird

The eagle is a predatory bird
 While there has been some ques- tion in the minds of observers as to this fact, it has been established to the satisfaction of the forest ser vice by Ed H. Oldham, ranger from the Simmons district.
 MT. Oldham, who came in to Pres colt, reports that on the afternoon of Sept. IT, in company with Ralph Anderson, recently appointed forest ranger, he was riding Hide Creek mountain in the Camp Wood district.
 They had been following the tracks of a deer MT. Oldham said, when, suddenly, a big black eagle flew up from in front of them, and on looking down, they saw young lawn, possibly not more than three months old, lying bleeding, on the ground before them.
 The animal cold not have been struck more than 20 seconds before, the ranger said. for it's heart still was beating when they reached it.
 The eagle, which had risen, from it's kill, evidently had struck the deer a tremendous blow with Its talons, the wounds from the claws penetrating to the ribs, and then, WHICH us prey MdS uOHu, hsiu lCdShCu for the threat, making a 3-inch gash that penetrated the wind pipe and jugular vein.
 The big bird circled the spot for several minutes after having been frightened off, evidently in the hope that the men would leave and he might be able to feast on the fawn.
 Deer are not the only animals menaced by the eagle, according to Mr Oldham. It long has been known that they would kill sheep, but some doubt has remained as to their ability to kill larger animals.
 According to Bryan Duce, who is manager of the Chino Land and Cattle company, eagles also kill calves.
 One large bird was seen to bring town a calf on the company's range in the northern part of the state only recently, MT. Duce said In fact, the ranch manager asserts that he will ride half day, any time, to kill an eagle.

PROMINENT MEN ID
 FACEFEDERAL COURT ALLEGED LANDGRAFT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. sc. M. Zander, former member of the Ari- zona state tax commission. and Nealy A. Pennington a prominent real estate broker of Tucson are fac Ing prosecution on federal charges of having participated in alleged lana gratis, it was made public here Ioday. TWO true bills against the men were returned last Saturday bv the U. s. Grand jury, in session here one charges the defendants with using the mails to defraud and the other with conspiracy to defraud The indictments, upon being returne,, by the federal jury, were placed fin the secret file and no announcement regarding them was made until to- day.
 Zander appeared today before the cIerK or the United States district nere and furnished bonds aggregat Ing $3,5O0. G. W. P Hunt. demo cratic candidate for governor Inf Arlzona qualified as one of the bonds men.
 Ine indictments are based on an aoVertlsement which appeared in the tucson newspaper which is circulat- ca through the United States malls m which, 1t is set forth, Pennington clalms to have been allotted 5000 acres of land under an irrigation pro Ject. The land, the advertisements say Is located along the Santa Fe railroad and the Phoenix-Los An geles highway. Further. according to these advertisement the land has water rights; none of it is for sale and it must be filed on under the desert land act, which does not re- qulre residence on the land.
 Continuing the true bills say that the advertisement asserts:
 The total ultimate expense for location and water rights is S2.5O per acre. Thousands of acres are loose enough to blow. Twenty-Five cents an acre will drag off the mesquite and sage and it is ready for discins. 16,O00 acres filed on in Phoenix in one week; 15 months to pay assess ments. Descriptive literature on request.
 The advertisement, it is charged. appears over the name of Nicely A Pennington. Zander becomes a de fendant through an association with the Tucson realty broker.
 Zander, as manager of the Lotus Valley Users association. is also charged with having given. through Pennington authorization for the al location of the lands.
 The indictments charge fraud be- cause, it is alleged, "The defendants had not been allotted 25,000 acres of land in the valley and had not ac- quired nor did they have, any water rights for said land, as was declared by the advertisement"
 It further charged in the indict- ments that the co-defendants knew that 16,000 acres of land had not been filed on in Phoenix in one week and knew also that said lands could not be filed on under the desert land act.

 Nothing would suit me better than to discuss from the same plat form the issues of this political bat tle," declared Governor Campbell in his opening campaign speech at Phoenix.
