COCONINO ATTORNEY
SEEKS TO USE MONEY

Frank Harrison, county attorney of
Coconino county, held a conference
recently with John w. Murphy, at
torney general, and E. w. Samuel,
director of the state highway depart
ment, for the purpose Of ascertaining
whether The board of supervisors of
Coconino county could use bond is
sue of 100000 in the improvement Of
portions of the Old Trails national
highway through that county.
AS stated to the officials by Mr..
Harrison, the bonds in the sum of
100000 were voted by Coconino coun-
ty with the intention Of using the
money on other roads, but due to the
failure to match the funds with fed
eral aid, it was decided, if it could be
done legally, to use the money on the
Old Trails highway, on which federal
aid can be obtained.
Mr.. Murphy announced that he will
give a decision in the matter within
the next few days after the record Of
the bond issue and all steps leading up
to it have been investigated. Should
the attorney general rule that the
money can be used on the Old Trails,
the highway department, Mr. Samuel
said will start at once to match the
fund with federal aid, and to prepare
plans for the work.

EYE WITNESS CLAIMS SAYS
IBEX ROAM in AJO CANY ON

Rumors of many years standing
that herd of ibeX roams. the noun
tains in the Ajo section received con-
firmation when j. A. Morrison, foav
merly rancher in that section, re-
ported to State Game Warden G. M.
Willard that he had seen the animals.
Mr.. Willard said that he had heard
for years that a small herd Of the
animals is in that section, but Mr..
Morrison supplies the first eye-wit-
ness of it's existence. Mr.. Morrison,
after spending two years ranching
near Ajo, has moved on the Mormon
Flats dam, where he conducts a store.
He had resided in the mountain sec
tionS near Ajo more than a year be-
fore seeing the animals, cf which he
daily found evidences, he said. Catch
ing a glimpse of the herd at a distance
a few months ago, he related, he Ngot
the wind on them and crept near
enough to-examine them at leisure.
Six were in the herd, he said.
The origin Of the herd, which, ac-
cording to Mr. Willard, seems un-
doubtedly to be ibex, remains some
what of a mystery. The ibex sup
posedly is an Old World animal,
resembling the goat. 1t is not inn
probable, he said, that a single pair
might have escaped from some place
years ago, accounting for the present
herd. Hides of the animals are as
soft as those of chamois, it was said
