PRESERVING A LANDMARK.

Word comes from Nogales
that work soon be started on re-
pair and Improvement of the old
Tumacacori mission at Tubac on
the highway between Nogales
and Tucson. Deeaying parts Of
this old church building are to
be strengthened so as to pre-
serve it as a reminder of Ari-
zona's past. Many of the early
pioneers of Arizona first appear
ed at Tubac, including Sylvester
Mowry and Col. Charles D., Pos
ton. The first newspaper ever
published in Arizona made it's
appearance at Tubac under the
shadow Of this mission. The
paper was called the Arizonian.
The Washington hand press used
at Tubac afterwards went to
Tom bstone, where it was used
in printing the Epitaph. Re-
naming in Tombstone, finally
giving way to more modern
press, it finally came Into pos.
session of William Hattick, who
gave it to the Arizona Pioneer
Historical Society and shipped
it to Tucson when be sold his
newspaper business in Tomb.

JURORS AND THE JURY.

Indications that the desired
result was achieved through
Judge A. G. Lock wood calling
attention to the failure of citi
zens to take jury duty seriously
is evident from the fact that two
convictions were obtained by the
jury dismissed recently from the
term at Tombstone.
The conscientious manner in
which the jury considered the
evidence of the cases caused
Judge lockwood to make the
statement that in the ten years
that he had occupied the bench
be did not recall jury panel
which tried harder TO fulfill it's
obligations in the interest of
justice and the law.
How different are these lauda.
tory remarks from the castiga
ton that was heaped on the
jurors dismissed during the sum
mer term without having made
the record of single conviction.
Even previous to the summer
term there had been no convic.
tion for some time.
Grave indeed was the situa.
ton at the time Judge Lockwood
brought out detailed facts re-.
garding the laxity of juries. The
law enforcement machinery of
Cochise county was being men
aced. Failure of a jury to carry
out it's obligations brings the
danger of mob violence. There
is also the danger that officers
may be lax in their duties when
they know that suspected law
violators, when arrested. will
later be acquitted.
It is to be sincerely hoped that
it will be unnecessary for Judge
Lockwood to again call the at
tention of the public to lack of
seriousness on the part of citi
zens in jury service. It is hard
ly likely that similar situation
will arise if citizens of the scoun
ty show less of an inclination to
evade jury duty.-Douglas Dis

KEEPING BUSINESS AT HOME

Major Geo. Fl. Kelly makes a
few pertinent remarks on keep
ing business at home, when he
says:
No town can be permanently
prosperous in which the citizens
and tradesmen dependent on
each other do not patronize one
another. The fact is, but little
is ever made in going away to
trade, if it can be secured at
home, and oftener there is loss.
Show US a town in which the
people make it a rule not to send
away for anything they can get
at home, and we will show you
a town in which business is live.
ly and every body buys, and
trade is centered from abroad.
Prices are low and the trades
men patronize each other, hav
ing no suspicion that confidence
will be abused. Let it be under
stood that when business men
of any town get in the habit of
sending abroad for purchases the
business will languish. Having
no confidence in each other, how
can they expect others to have
confidence in them? No, that's
not the way to build up town.
Potronize each other and keep
your business at home. Pros
hector.

SHELTER FOR PATAGONIA.

dp6kOuld, NOV. 10 -AdSt . I'LL =
day night a company was organ
lied to exploit the Kuenzel
smelter and hydrogen oxygen
gas generating patents, which
will permit mine owners to in
stall smelter units on their own
properties and extract the metals
therefrom, eliminating the high
cost of shipping concentrates
and ore-bullion will be shipped
to metal buyers and the smelters
that have been making enormous
profits at the expense of the
mine operators will have to look
elsewhere for their profits.
The Patagonia mining district
has enormous quantities of ore
running under $40 per ton that
cannot be shipped at profit.
The Kuenzel patent process of
extracting metal from the ore
will permit these properties to
mine ore running around 81 per
ton in value on which a nice
profit can be realized.
The Kuenzel patents are not
new, untried things, but have
been used in this country and
Mexico at different times for
several years, and have been
reported on by we'll known min
ing engineers. A smelter oper.
ating under the Kuenzel patents
was erected at Buena Vista,
Colo, several years ago for
about three years. The proper,
ty was closed down only after
the patentee had difficulty with
we'll known smelling company
in a deal whereby the patentee
lost control of the smelter
througha a business deal where
by the smelling company is said
to have purchased controlling
interest in the stock of the com,
pany after a : gentleman's agree
ment" bad been entered into by
Mr.. Kuenzel and his associates
to reimburse him in stock with a
controlling interest in a re incor
poration after he had allowed
his controlling interest in the old
company to slip away from him
under promise of having his
control restored when a new
company with increased capital
ization was effected. The pro.
mise was never kept, according
to the son of the patentee, and
an injunction was granted the
inventor restraining the new
company from using his patents,
compelling the smelter to close.
After Mr.. Kuenzel's bitter ex.
perience, he endeavored to start
a new, and went to Mexico,
erecting a small unit in Sinaloa,
but before he could get the
proper amount of advertising he
was stricken with a fatal illness
and died at the Brickwood hotel,
leaving his son, Fred w. Kuen
eel as sole heir to the valuable
patents. The son Immediately
took steps to have the Kuenzel
smelter patents exploited. with
the result that a company has
been formed in Patagonia with
the exclusive right to exploit
them in Arizona, Texas, and the
United States of Mexico, with
the exception of Sinaloa, where
California company has the
concession to operate.
The new company has adopt
ed the name Arizona Kuenzel
Smelling Co., and will incorpor
ate Immediately under the laws
of Arizona. 1t is now planned
to erect a demonstration smelter
in or near Patagonia, which,
when completed, will serve to
advertise the Kuenzel patents to
the mining world. It is believed
that in the near future Patago
MIA will have realized it's dream
to become one of the leading
mining districts in the world.

PRAISE FOR MR.. BABcOCk
Dr.. w. J. Mayo Refers to Him AZ
Bio Man In Minnesota

Rochester, August 23.-Deciaring
that Charles NJ. Babcock, state
commissioner of highways, would
go down in history as one OF the
very great men of the state and
that he had been shamed and hu-
inflated by the unjust criticism OF
him. DR.. William j. Mayo, before q
joint meeting OF road boosters from
Lake City and Rochester, the state
highway department and the county
commissioners in the Civic building
yesterday afternoon told Of his be-
lief that river traffic was the thing
of the future and unfolded a plan
whereby the freight rates could be
reduced by the means Of miniature
tractor trains from water points
across the state tonnage roads.
DR.. Mayo stated emphatically,
when speaking of the proposed new
state road from Rochester to Lake
City that the Mayo clinic would
stand back OF any project to snip
coal down the st. Croix and M1ssls-
sippi and over the new road Dy
means of a small train of dump
carts hauled by a small engine.
This method ne explained, was used
in England extensively and sue
cessfully and he believed that 1t
would be only a matter of short
time when it would be adopted mere.
If the new road was put In he
said. the clinic would stand ready
to have coal shipped by such
method.
John McGovern, on the good
roads committee of the Rochester
Civic association, presiding over the
meeting, introduced DR.. Mayo as the
man who had fostered the gooo
road movement in Minnesota long
before the time of Babcock and the
state highway department: Dr'
Mayo is pioneer and road pullGer.
He is the man who Is responsloIe
for the start of good roads In Mil
nesota and for the start OF the state
highway department itself. He has
travelled this southern section or
the state from school house 10
school house and he laid the foun-
dations in pioneer work long De-
fore YOU or l ever heard OF BAD
cock"
In opening his talk DR.. MAYO ex-
nlained that the soil in the southern
mari of Minnesota was not naturaily
conductive to good roads. A ven
icle of any kind sinks too deep IN
the soil unless we build good ROADS
for IT," he said.
81 want 10 express my apprecia
ton right now for the work &C
cornplished by Mr.. Babcock. In less
than three summers he has given
the whole state a system or nrst
class roads. / think that Mr.. BAD
cock will go down In history as one
of the very great men of the state. state
When any man can accomplish
wbst he has in two and a half sea-
sons he deserves the highest tn
bute. His work in such short pc
r;oS of time has<been extraordinary;
7 believe much of the discord and
criticism has come from q sman
minority who have not been famliiar
--;tb the workings Of the state de-
nartment and l have been shamed
and inundated by the abuse he mas
received"
