/ During the recent snow storm only
one-half day was lost by the crews
working on the new Yaqui trail.
There are now in use three portable
air compressors used for drilling,
which about triples the working ca
pacity OF a crew. Two of these were
i dismantled and carried into the can
yon on mule back and are proving
very satisfactory the men down there
having completed eight-tenths of a
mile of the trail. The men atathe top
have not built as much owing to the
fact that they have been building a
/ permanent camp. W

Ennis entertained in honor Of the
birthday of her husband, "Curley"
Ennis, also j. E. Shirley and little
Miss Margaret Nelson. A big turkey
dinner was served at seven o'clock
I and about an hour later the entire
transportation force turned out and
4 treated the men to "chapping." This
term may be Greek to foreigners"
but to an Arizonan it means rolling
4 the honored one over saddle, bunk
or as in this case, convenient snow
bank and applying a pair of chaps
with more or less force to his person.
The louder his protests, the more the
chaps are applied. The party called
at the front door and Mr.. Shirley sur
missing the nature of the visit and the
purpose of the visitors tried to make
'.get away" by the back door only to
run into the arms of some more men
stationed there. He and Mr.. Ennis
were properly chapped. Sherman
Moore was an interested spectator,
hoping no one remembered that he
also had birthday that day, but Mr..
Ennis, as soon as he was released,
promptly grabbed him and Mr.. Shir-
ley took revenge, laying on the chaps
With right good will. The occasion
was one that will long be remembered
by the honored ones, the spectators
and some few people who were still
in their homes, who thought from the
blood curdling yells that another In
dian massacre was being carried on.
