OPERATION OF ICE
DELIVERY SERVICE
PROFITS WINSLOW

Preliminary optimistic reports
yen on the ice situation at the
tine the city instituted the munich
pal ice delivery service have been
borne out by facts, the report for
May and June shows. The figures
on the ice business were given to
the council Monday night by City
Clerk C. L. Murphy, who at the
same time furnished a budget for
the succeeding year.
Ice prices were materially re-
duced as soon as the city went in
to the business, but the two months
have shown net profit of $1,604.-
80, while lowering the price to the
consumer. This profit remains af-
ter all salaries have been paid, in
cIuding a clerk for extra work in
the office, as well as the salaries
of two drivers. The sum of ST.
7"234 has been paid on account on
eSIipment bought to carry on the
business, leaving a total owed on
equipment, which includes two
trucks, one ice-scoring machine
and an ice box, of $2,651.S3, which
will be paid out of receipts for the
fiscal year starting July 1st.
The budget for the coming year,
after every contingency has been
literally provided for, leaves an
estimated net gain of $3,081.28,
which will accrue to the city gen
eral fund.
From these figures it appears
that the ice business, which caused
some comment and aroused some
opposition at the time the city
started the ice delivery service, is
a valuable side-line, both to the
city and to ice consumers. AT the
time the city planned to take over
the distribution of ice "a restrain
ing order was secured by people
who opposed the plan, but the city
has continued to sell ice at lower
prices and at the same time make
profit which will bring benefit to
taxpayers.

Student Meets
Realism When
Snake Bite S

Arthur Way, college student at
Flagstaff, artist, and until recently
shortstop on the Flagstaff baseball
club of the Northern Arizona league
while engaged in making a sketch
of Rainbow Bridge recently, was
bitten by a large rattlesnake.
Being over IT'S miles from civili-
zation, Way was forced to apply
first aid to himself. With a pocket
knife he gashed his big toe, caus-
ing blood to flow freely, and made
his way to camp, where his medi-
cal supplies were stored. He ar
rived in Flagstaff by the first stage
out of his section, and was pro-
nounced out of danger by Flagstaff
physicians.

Fire Last Evening
Destroys Automobile,
Damages Garage

Fire early last evening damaged
the garage in the rear of the CathO-
lie church parsonage and the Ford
car of Father J. o. Barrett was
completely destroyed by the flames,
the origin of which is attributed to
small boys playing about the gar
age with matches.
The fire department was on the
scene shortly after the alarm was
sounded, and while the garage was
damaged considerably, total de-
struction was averted by the quick
work of the department.

Third prize was a motormeter
and locking type bar cap, and
fourth prize balloon tube.
The cars taking part in the
contest were picked up as they
passed on the street and had no
chance to be serviced or tuned
up for the contest. Weather
conditions Sunday We're very bad,
being cold and windy.
The contest started at the Ford
Service Station. All were drain
ed of gasoline, then a half gallon
placed in each tank. The cars
were driven out the Tucson road
and the Stevenson machine did
not stop until it was beyond the
old Tumacacori mission and al
most to Tubac.
The record Of 20.17 miles on
half gallon made by the Steven
son car means it gets a mileage
of 40.34 miles to the gallon, in
other words, Stevenson travels
4O.34 miles at a gasoline cost Of
% cents gallon which is the
present price Of gasoline in this
city.
The test proved that both Ford
cars and Texaco gasoline are very
economical products.

1t looks like the next mining
sensation in the Patagonia Noun.
tains will be on the west slope in
the Palmetto District.
THE TRES DE MAYO Mine.
has completed all preliminary ar
rangements necessary to begin
sinking the main shaft ftom the
l65 foot level to the three hum
dred foot level, and active work
Of sinking the shaft will begin
Monday morning and the shaft
will be driven down as fast as
three shifts can drive it, and at
the 800 foot level the vein will be
explored with the expectations of
finding the combinations Of the
very high grade ores that were
mined and shipped years ago, also
the large bodies of Vanadium and
low grade silver lead ores will be
developed for the purpose Of mill
ing. Engineers are of the opinion
that large bodies of ore will be
encountered at the water level
and below.
The Hassayampa property ad-
joining the Tres de Mayo on the
South will begin active opera
tions after the first of the year.
They will sink a shaft to the three
hundred foot level and cross cut
the two main veins of the proper
ty, and judging from the high
grade ore that the Hassayampa has
produced in the past, important
ore developments may be expect
ed in the work that is to be done
on this exceptional property.
The Denver mine on the East of
the Tres De Mayo has been oper-
ating three shifts per day for some
time and has developing some very
fine ore, and at a conference of
the men that are furnishing the
money for developing purposes,
Mr.. William B. Odgen, Mr.. Nelson
H. Partridge, Mr.. Will L. Winslow
end Mr.. w. D. Arnett all busi-
ness men Of Los Angeles, it was
decided to push the development
work with all possible speed and
to place sufficient equipment on
the property to the work that they
intend to do.

ed that an appropriate site is on

Another advantage Of a COM
pany of militia, according to local
PERSONS taking an active interest

Declares 1t Is Responsible

Public opinion is largely, responsi-
BILE for law enforcement, declared
Prosecutor William H. Reny in an
address Monday night before the

letic Club. Remy, a member of the
club, asserted, This country is not
actually governed by laws or by the
Constitution, but by men. Every
law and even the Constitution itself
is interpreted differently by various
judges and courts"
Remy illustrated his point OF law
Interpretation by telling about the
murder trials of John Thomas Shaw,
Negro, acquitted of murder of Mrs,
Helen Hager Welchel. Shaw first
was tried in Marion County and con-
victed. The Supreme Court granted
new trial. A second trial in an
other county resulted in hung

acquittal. 4
Remy pointed out that while the
State presented the'same evidence in
each trial. the difference was in the
