BLACK MULE BREAKS IN
OLD WHITE MULE DEN

Unrevealed and unsuspected fol
months and perhaps for years, an un.
derground booze factory one with nc
visible means of outlet or ingress, was
discovered quite by accident, an acci
dent which proved distressing but not
fatal to a black mule.
The rum room is located under thu
concrete corrals at the Old Campbell
farm near the Standard Oil plant al
Prescott, place which has been a.
bandoned for some time and only rec
emily put into use when C. E. Snider.
local contractor, rented the place tt
use as a corral for his mules. Yester
day morning, one of the mules ir
stamping on the concrete floor, broke
through and fell into the room be
Meath
The animal was rescued from the
subterranean chamber with difficulty
by DIR. j w. Osborn, who was callee
to treat him. After block and tack
1e had been set in place and the mule
hauled to the surface again, the un
derground room was explored and {
number of ancient barrels with some
of the mash still in them were discov
cred, but no way in or out of tht
chamber could be found. 1T was !;
black mule we pulled out" the doc
tor said, "but he certainly fell through
into a white mules home"

FIFTY TONS OF DYNAMITE TO
BE USED AT JEROME MINE

Great preparations are being made
at the United Verde at Jerome for the
big blast which will loosen some 20O,-
900 yards of material near the old No.
2 shaft on the 160 level. A tunnel
Is being run into the mountain side
to the west from the big shovel cut
on the 160 and it is expected that
about a month will be required to
complete the working. 1t will be load
ed with approximately 100000 pounds
OF dynamite and, as stated, the result
will be the loosening of more than
100000 yards of rock to be handled by
the big shovel. Like other big blasts
that have occurred from time to time
in the progress of the steam shovel
work at the mine, this one will prob
ably present no spectacular features,
even though the firing of so tons of
high explosive is something out of the
ordinary.

THE BUICK CAR WON
THIS RACE IN A WALK

George Stokes, veteran pedestrian,
failed to break the walking record of
21 hours and Sc minutes from Mil
waukee to Chicago, a distance of APP
proximately 100 miles now held by
Henry Schmell.
Stokes made the attempt to break
the record on August 8, expecting to
complete the walk on August 9, his
Goth birthday.
The start was made at 200 p. m.
on the 9Th and exactly tWenty-four
hours later Stokes had covered 80.3
miles at an aperage speed of 3.3 miles
per hour, being forced to give up at
this distance on account of an acute
attack of indigestion. He finished in
an automobile.
Stokes attempt was really a con-
test between him as long distance
walker and a Buick 1925 Standard
Six automobile locked in high gear
which was to keep up with, but not
pass the walker. The car performed
the difficult task of running in high
gear all the way at the average speed
Of 3.3 per hour. After Stokes drop
ped out, the car continued on its way,
arriving at Logan Square, Chicago,
with an average speed of 4 miles per
hour for the entire distance.
Stokes performed wonderful feat
in walking so miles in "a hours at
the age of SO years, and the Buick
performed an equally remarkable feat
in covering 100 miles at an average
If 4 miles an hour and at times as
oW as two miles an hour.

FORDS SOLD BY POUND
BY YUMA COMPANY

An invocation in the matter of
auto sales is being introduced by the
Yuma Auto Wrecking company.
]. J. Wilson, one of the owners of
the business, recently announced
that hereafter the company will vend
Ford cars on the same basis that a
grocer sells sugar or potatoes by
the pound.
The price is few cents per pound,
said Wilson. The car is run on the
scales, the poundage ascertained, then
the sale price determined by multi
plication process.
A tourist passing through Yuma
and bound for the coast recently stop
ped at the Yuma Auto Wrecking Co.
office and commented upon how
'heavenly the weather is in Yuma.
He explained to Wilson that he had
been driving through Colorado where
the roads were covered with two to
four feet of snow and that it was a
relief to reach climate where it
was really and truly warm.

MUSTN'T SHOOT NEAR
A PUBLIC HIGHWAY

It is unlawful to shoot from a pub
lie highway, across highway or
within so yards Of a highway.
This fact was brought sharply
nome to three Verde district sports
nen when they were collared by
Deputy Game Warden Bob McAllister.
All were guilty Of doing their shoot
ng entirely too close to the roads.
A woman who was hunting doves
without a license was also gathered
by McAllister. She said that she
was "only practicing," but the depu-
ty did not accept that explanation,
nough it was true that she did not
1ave any doves.-Jerome News.

OUR TWO GOVERNORS

Dick Bongberg who is sojourning in
komona, sends US the followini clip
ping which he thinks speaks for itself:
California and Arizona have much
IN common other than the fact that
they are situated near each other.
They have very much the same type
of governors. Arizona has a crabby
old man in Governor Hunt; Califor-
MIA has crabby old man in Governor
Richardson. Neither ever appears to
make an Ineligible, much less intelli-
gent, utterance. Both go off half-cocS-
ed. Both seem to have a deluge of
words and drouth of ideas. Both are
supposedly the heads of common
wealths which would closely approach
the civilized state were it not for their
governors. Shake, Arizona, shake. -

CONSUMER MUST PAY
TAXES OF UTILITIES

When a municipality takes over a
power plant a loud wall Immediately
follows because the tax roll is reduced
by the amount represented by the
value of the plant. OF course this
wall comes from the private corpora
tions. Is it not a fact that the people
using electric energy pay the taxes
for the corporations? Not directly, of
course, but every time you pay your
light bill you pay a certain portion Of
the taxes. The Public Service COM
mission allows the corporations a
rate which provides for taxes after
depreciation, interest on the invest
ment, dividends, ETC., are fixed. If
this was not the case the corporations
would all go broke. No excuse for the
wall; the people must pay the taxes,
it matters little whether they are paid
directly to the tax collector or if we
grant the corporation the privilege to
hand the money to the tax collector

Twas cold ana chin, but his little
heart
Felt not the wintry morn,
As through the furrowed field he'd
start
To husk his row Of corn.
And dreaming oft would fall behind
The others on each side,
When, startling to his dreamy mind,
A voice in anger cried:
Keep up the down row, come. awake!
Why do you loiter there?
Get back to earth, your portion take,
Or else, my boy, beware!
Place both your feet upon the ground,
Stop dreaming, get to work!
Keep up the down-row, move around,
You can't afford to shirk."
At last the boy to manhood came,
Still dreaming, hoping, sore;
He found that life's a heavy game
With duty trimming Ger.
Today he smiles as Ger the past
He dreams, now hair is white,
And hopes and works until the last
To turn wrong into right.
Twenty-seven local organizations
were represented at the convention.
Besides Mr.. White and Mr.. Heintz,
the Harbor was represented by Mr.. M.
L. Cagley of Hoquiam, and Harry Glib
son, secretary of the Aberdeen car
penters' union. Mr. Gibson delivered
short address on the brotherhood's
home for aged carpenters.
While Mr.. Gibson was not an official
delegate to the convention ne did not
waste any time, but could be found on
the job early in the morning and late
at night working for the best interests
Of the carpenters.
