HIDDEN GOLD OF lNCAS SOUGHT
BY DESCENDANTS

Descendants of the Incas along the
Andes still search to this day for the
hidden gold which legend says their
ancestors gathered to ransom their
emperor Atahualpa from the hands
of the Spanish conqueror Pizarro
four centuries ago, and which they
never delivered because Pizarro be-
trayed and murdered him. The gold
promised by Atahualpa was enough
to fill the room where he was i'm
prisoned as high as his neck, and is
sealed with boulders somewhere in
the Andes.
Every summer when the mountain
SHOWS have melted, groups of In
dians from Southern Bolivia and
northwestern Argentina pursue their
quest, armed with picks and some of
them carrying explosives to blow
away the boulders which are sup
posed to cover the treasure. Last
summer a number of them who had
climbed Serro Colorado in Argentina
territory came across a mound OF
stones evidently piled by human
hands. The stones were solidly fixed
in sort of concrete and resisted
their picks. Then with dynamite
they blew the mornd open. The
goldn trasure they had hoped to see
was not there, but instead the mum
my of an Inca chief A few silver
trinkets and a huge strange disc of
| copper had been entombed with him
but no gold.
| The Indians carried their late an
cestor to the town of Salta and ir-
| reverently sold him a few weeks ago
| to Justo Ducasse, an archaeological
collector of Buenos Aires, who has
| brought him here and tells the story
| of the discovery. The mummy wears
| crown of parrots feathers as fresh
as if they had just been plucked, and
curious blanket of black and white
check with an embroidered red
fringe. The long hair is plated. A
bone tag attached to the crown de-

The typewriter fiend who pounds
out those nicely rounded periods of
thought for the Coconino Sun sees
another argument for ratification of
the egregious Colorado River pact.
AS an optimist he's a piker, but as
a pessimist he's Jake in every in
stance. He's now predicting that the
House Bill known as No. 1923 (in-
tended to replace the discarded
Swing Johnson bilD will give Arizona
what California doesn't want If
there's anything in Arizona or any
where else that California doesn't t
want, we should like to see it. That
Coconino camouflage has cavorted
under smoke screen so long that
it's a give-away and a laughingstock
to the average voter. People are
leaving Los Angeles and Southern
California by thousands because, af-
ter being exploited and driven to des-
peration, they now have to beat it
and walk out of the state. Penury
and want there are results OF undue
exploitation in Los Angeles by real
tors and merchandise brokers. Cali
fornia experts in exploitation are still
hammering at Congress to spend $780,
100000 on Boulder Canyon. What
for? To furnish additional scope for
more California plunderers. Cong
ress is gradually awakening to the
peculiar devices of merchandise brok-
ers and price fixers that seek aid
of the government to help out in ex-
ploitation of the masses. So long as
California corporate politicians ap-
peal to Congress for help, there is
no danger of Boulder Dam being
built When they get down to invest
ing their own coin then Arizona can
look out for her rights.

TO THE PRINTERS

Let me tune up my typewriter, ham
mer the keys
And give heed to indenting and
spacing
While to printers I sing this melodi-
Gus wheeze
And the thoughts through my
think-tank go chasing.
The printers all learn to judge and
discern
So they'll make no punk errors to
grieve us,
And the printer who has no long
primer to learn
Is very small plea, believe us!
For many long years in this valley
- of tears
I have furnished the printers with
copy,
And some of my stuff was artistic
enough
And helova 10. of it sloppy.
But from East coast to West I have
put to the test
Many printers, including New
Workers,
And whenever they took my dope
from the hook
They followed my copy like corkers
A health to the printers! A holiday
toast
May their Christmas and New Year
be jolly!
To all the great gang that has set
up my slang
am serving this jingle with holly
Intelligent, keen, true as any ma
chine,
Cool and steady when editors press
EN-
They deserve more than rhyme al
this Holiday Time.
Good luck to the printers! God
bless EN-!

THE LURE OF JOURNALISM

There is, perhaps, no profession SO |
perplexing to others as the journal |
istic profession. The newspaperman
is constantly meeting the question,
why do you remain in the newspa-
per business" Behind this question
is the general knowledge that journal
ism is not a particularly profitable
profession, save to the paratively
established great publications. To
the men who really make papers and
adorn them with wit and wisdom,
Dame Fortune is not prodigal; yet in
no other profession are there so many
men and women of exceptional abil-
ity.
The answers to this question are
varied and various, yet all tending to
the same end. 1t is the romance of
the business. To put it a bit diff
erently, one gets action every day
in the journalistic game. And every
"a hours constitutes a new day in
an entirely new world The physical
features Of the business remain day
after day. There are the same
desks, writing machines and mechan-
ical equipment; the same men and
women making a paper. But every
day, almost every minute, the raw
material is in flux and changing.
the one thing certain to happen is
the one thing most unexpected.
And there IS another lure In no
other profession or vocation has one
such entree into the most exclusive
circles and channels; in no other
does one meet the ablest minds and
rub shoulders with the doer of big
things. The man of millions almost
impossible TO meet as a general thing
swings wide his door when a repre-
sentative of the fourth estate creden-
tailed from publication of influence
sends in his or her card. The states
man, politieian-even the princes of
the earth-may and do preserve their
privacy inviolate against the curios-
ity of the public, but rarely does one
fail to show the utmost courtesy to
the journalist seeking information on
subject in which the public has an
interest
The newspaper man in the very
nature of things seeks his raw mater
ial among the highest in all walks
of life because the commonplace and
the customary rarely attain a genu-
inc new value. All of this consti-
tutes the lure that holds brilliant men
and women to the profession. Even
the profession of great wealth does
not afford the same magic sesame as
credentials from an outstanding Jour-
nal. Proving there is something more
in life than the mere possession of
money Tulsa World.

DEMOCRATIC WEEkLlEs SHOULD
GO AFTER THIS

A few weeks ago the editors of
democratic newspapers in Arizona
met in Phoenix and one of the chief
topics was the patronage accorded
non-democratic papers by Democratic
office holders. The outgrowth Of
this meeting was complaint to the
Secretary of the Livestock and SAM
tary Board and the Secretary of State
Institutions because they were giving
$50 a month to the Arizona Cattle
man and farmer of Tucson and the
Phoenix Labor Journal, both of whom
fought the democratic national ticket
and supported Bob LaFollette. This
matter has been laid before the Live
stock Board by Charles Francis and
Highway Commissioner Zander, who
have promised to correct the matter
and will hereafter give this publicity
to the democratic weeklies This
matter, referring particularly to print
ing of cattle brands, is understood to
come under the purvey of the Corpor-
alton Commissioner and in all fair
ness it ought not to exclude the Ari-
zona State Miner, which for six
years has been staunch democratic

DAM BLOCKED
FOR THIS SESSION

EOh ITO SE0OION
A bill referred to as House Bill
No. 1923 calls for $30,00O,0O0 to con-
struct dam at Boulder Canyon with
a superstructure of 500 feet high
which shall be for the purpose of ir-
rigation and power development. On
this matter a personal letter from
Carl Hayden at Washington says:
Editor Miner-'T enclose herewith
copy of bill recently introduced by
Congressman J. d. Fredericks of Los
Angeles California, authorizing the
construction of a flood control dam
at Boulder Canyon on the Colorado
River. The members of the Commit
tee on Irrigation and Reclamation
have unanimously requested that this
bill be re-referred from the Commit
tee on Flood Control to that Commit
tee because the bill shows upon its
face that the dam will ultimately be
used for irrigation and power pur-
poses. The indications are that nei-
ther the Fredericks bill nor the
Swing g-Johnson bill, or any other bill
providing for actual development Of
the Colorado River in the Lower Ba-
sin will be enacted at this session OF
Congress -

Putting Country WeekIies Out of
Business-The proposed increase in
rates Of second class mail for pur-
poses Of postal revenues by Congress
is being bitterly assailed by rural
weekly publishers, upon whom the
brunt of this expense will necessar-
lily fall. II the new measure pre-
walls, another big percentage of
country papers will be suspended and
their fields occupied by the big city
dailies, who will profit directly by
the death of their rural contemporar-
les. Since 1912 second class mail
is the only class on which Congress
has increased rates. If Congress
would only shut off the tons and
tons of Congressional Records some
of us might be shed Of fuel, but the
saving might help towards substan-
tial raise in underpaid postal clerks
salaries.
New Main Line After Sheriffs
Home-Jerry Sullivan, retiring sher-
iff of Maricopa County, has twelve
acres of land designed for home on
the right of way for the new Phoenix
Main Line over near Picacho. Jerry
and his estimable wife fashioned this
little tract for a suburban home-and
of course do not want to part with
it. The railroad company also want
it for public use and as private prop
erty can be taken under the law Of
eminent domain, it looks like they
will be forced to change their cher
ished plans for q rural abiding place.
If such must be the case, it is hoped
the commission whose duties it will
be to place an appraised value on the
place will be liberal enough to award
himself and family enough to pur-
chase another away from the hobo
tramps and usual disadvantages of
living near railroad track.
Many deaths through Christmas or
gies were increased by the cold wave
which swept the West and Middle
West last week, freezing many by in
tense zero weather.
Exploiting the Farmers-Ten per
cent collected on advances to farm
ers in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota by the Agricultural Credit
Corporation and amounting to six
million dollars will be returned to
them because of the present econ
ornic stringency. Getting money
from the government to help farmers
who are regularly exploited out of it
by systematic profiteering and price
fixing will only bring temporary re-
lief until new opportunity for ex-
pIoitation presents itself
The Irony of Fate-Angelina Cocf-
inello, prettiest girl among 10000
Chicago contestants, was accidentally
killed last Saturday and poor old
Irish woman named Mccarthy rec
ognized her unclaimed body at the
morgue and paid her funeral ex-
penses to keep her from Potters'
grave.

HEARD'S COLORADO PLANS DIS
SECTED


1st. A federal appropriation is i'm
possible on top of 100000 already
expended on government investigation
and reports, solely for flood control,
when the real, actual and desirable
object is to control the Colorado's
potential energy in power possibili-
ties.
End. Heard's cooperation takes
into consideration only special inter
ests for financing and building dams
and power sites under a guarantee
of controlling and marketing the pow
er perquisites.
3rd. Ratification of the compact,
which means a surrender Of Arizona s
rights to commission already prov
en- unfair to her-and favorable to
California and Mexican land promo
ters. In fact, ratification has been
thrice defeated fairly and squarely in
the Arizona legislature and again in
the recent election, when the Color
ado Compact was a heated issue
that primarily rejected Heard for
governor.
4th. Heard's solicitation Gas indi-
Gated in No. 81 is extremely in IA
vor of the ownership of nearly a
million acres Of land in Mexico, OF
xx-b;oh fQ0 nnn oo~oo oro oo~, ,,~5o~
cultivation, in preference to seeing
an equal distribution of power and
energy to develop, irrigate and culti-
vate similar area in Arizona.
5th. His recommendation to tax
hydro o-electrical energy developed by
private interests is no panacea for
the small consumers who always pay
the taxes for the big interests in
charge of sale and distribution
every time they pay a bill for SER
vice or make deposit in cash there
for.
Start the Main Line-A big con-
tract for the New Phoenix Main
Line, supposed to bring greater trans
portation advantages to the Capital
City and the great Salt River Valley,
has been let we are told by Satur-
days Gazette. According to it's ad-
vices, work was to be started on
Monday morning by big force to
start on the grade between Chandler
and Picacho. Shearer & Crowley,
Los Angeles contractors, are reported
to have undertaken the work.

This mornings solemn investiture
OF the red hat was merely time
honored custom, the same symbolic
head piece being used for both the
American prelates. The red hats
which they actually will take back
across seas with them were given
them later this afternoon by special
papal emissaries, during semi public
ceremonies. The red hats never are
actually worn, but will be taken back
by the prelates and suspended by
golden wires over the high altars
in their respective cathedrals, there
to remain until the deaths of the
cardinals, when they will be cere-
moniously taken down and placed
over their tombs.

BUSINESS IS BETTER in NORTHWEST, FEDERAL RESERVE
AGENT FINDS REVIEWING INCREASES DURING FEBRUARY
Abnormally Large Marketing
of Grain During February
Is Reported, Especially in
Grains, Corn and Hogs -
More Building Seen, Prices
Better, Trade Volume Ex-
pands and Banking COndi-
tiOns Improve.

Business is better in the Northwest
This is the message contained in the
monthly trade summary issued today
from Minneapolis by John H. Rich,
federal reserve agent.
Mr.. Rich reports that February
business more than made up the loss
cs of January, that the marketing of
farm products was abnormally large
which placed great deal of money
in circulation and banking conditions
improved
Both in number and valuation
building permits issued in cities in
the reserve district were greater by
oncfifth than in February last year.
Wholesale trade was one-fifth snail
er in February than year previous.
Business failures showed decline,
and business volume showed mark
ed recovery from the January slump,
the report stated.
Farm Prices Up
Regarding farm prices in February
the report says:
Prices of the chief products of the
farm were firm or rising for the ma
jority of commodities during Fcbru-
AIRY. Median grain prices at Minnea-
polls were all higher than in January
with the exception of rye, for which
the price remained unchanged. The
price of barley and oats has risen to
point nearer the price of rye than
at any time since the war, and corn
is selling at higher price than rye.
This situation is an interesting COM
mentary on the relative demand for
export grains and grains used for
local consumption. Mixed tendencies
prevailed in February livestock prices
at South st. Paul. The median prices
Of butcher steers and hogs remained
unchanged from the January medians,
prices of lambs and feeder steers in
creased and butcher cows and veal
calves showed slight declines. There
were seasonal declines in sthe Mlnn-
eapolis wholesale prices of butter and
eggs, the decline being especially
marked in eggs on account of the
mild weather which has stimulated
production. The price of hens show

The request for his subpoena was
