HOWARD C.. SPEAKMAN
HAS MADE A RECORD
AS PUBLIC PROSECUTOR

Howard C. Speakman for county
attorney is one Of the most promising
candidates in the entire field and will
undoubtedly poll a big majority. 1t
will not be at all surprising to see an
overwhelming vote for Mr.. Speak
man, and this is said without over
looking the calibre and the populari-
ty of his opponent.
For a number of years before COM
ing to Arizona, Mr.. Speakman was
prosecutor in one of the busiest baili-
wicks in Oklahoma, and there is
where he made his reputation as a
fighter. His work as deputy county
attorney since coming here has
marked him as a worker as well as a
fighter, for he has had the prepara-
ton of tremendous volume of court
business.
The records show that 100 cases
Of all kinds have been filed and dis
posed of by the office since January
Arizona state miner., 1926-08-21

1, 1925, of which 750 were fe1Onies,
punishable by Imprisonment IN the
state penitentiary, or by death.
Arizona is in the line of travel and
is always IN the public eye. The first
place the fugitive strikes for is Ari-
zona. So long as highways exist into
Arizona, we are going to have our
share of this class of transients. The
logical man to handle the situation is
the man of experience, the man who
has proved his value as prosecutor:
Howard c. Speakman.
And anyone who has had occasion
to visit the office of the county axtor-
ney during the past year or two
knows that for every case entered on
the files of the courts, five or six
are Quashed right there. Mr Speak
man impresses anyone who visits The
office as man who is ready to act,
but ready also to advise He has
always treated the public as his
client and he has given unstinted
service to the public. When he re-
tires from public life, he will find
himself the recipient of one of the
incest practices ever offered a young
man, and in the meantime Maricopa
county wifi have the satisfaction of
having a5prosecyltor one of the ablest
legal minds in the state.
Arizona state miner., 1926-08-21

More important than his training
is his personality You'll like him,
personally. You'll be proud to have
him as your representative in the
state senate You'll be able to take
the problems of this community to
Mr. Akers in his seat in the senate,
to present them to him as you see
them and to have his cooperation
in working out for the state the So
luton you find best suited to your
community. He's a sincere, forceful,
genial character He wants to get
things done, he knows what he wants
done, and he has the personality to
make him effective in working with
other men to get things done.
Look at him Look at his record:
He's going to go high in public hfes
in your time He'll make an exceh
lent senator as beginning. 81

CANDIDATES IN W|CKENBURG;
STORM GREETS ELuNWOOD
HUNT SEES OLD FRIENDS

Governor Hunt visited Wickenburg
early in the morning Tuesday, and
addressed an audience comprising
the town and all the countryside. In
general, the governor pleased his
hearers particularly well. for he
seemed to be in high spirits and
spoke effectively on the Colorado and
other questions of Import. In the past,
the governor has always been given
a big vote in this entire district, it
being an old saying that Hunt is ell
ected in the gulches."
The twenty-five county candidates
who spoke in town on Saturday night
were enthusiastic over the reception
given them. The largest crowd they
have had met them here and listened
with appreciation to all they had to
offer. 1t is the prediction of both
committeeman that big vote will
be polled in the primaries on Septem.

City Light Plant Will Be -
Second to None,
VIII Pay As 1t Goes

! There is no intention on the part
OF the city executives to let the
town remain in uncertainty as to the
future of the light and power sys-
tenn. The new installation, under the
supervision Of R. B. Goodrich, of the
Morse company, is ade-
quate for all immediate needs and
allows for the future in 4'-v ri
another similar unit tt 81
future growth.
1t is only matter
a 24-hour service will
and given and the present instslla-
tion make provision for that. The
new engine is connected by belt to
the old generator, but eventually
the plant will consist of two such
engines with two generators driven
directly from the shaft In making
the change to this complete equip
ment, nothing will have to be dis |
carded from the present equipment.
It has been planned economically and
is installed with an eye to the fu-
ture growth of the town.

For some time it has been known
in mining circle that A. P. Irvine and
A. ]. Kellis, local mining men, had
a deal on involving the Vulture and
a group Of adjoining claims, and to-
day the purchasers through their
representative, Mr.. Hanson, made
known their plans.
1t has long been evident that with
modern flotation processes, much of
the ore already uncovered in the
VultuEe could be worked to advan-
tage and the general belief has been
that a large undeveIoped ore body
lies to the north Of the old Glory
Hole and that eventually the Vul-
ture would be worked again The
present owners of the properties,
after a thorough investigation last
ing through a number of months, be-
came convinced that such was the
case and Immediately closed with the
Niowners of the property, the deal be-
ing completed and the papers signed
during the present week.
The Early Days
Henry Wickenburg, first owner of
the VultUre, sold out to a syndicate
of eastern men soon after the dis
coveTy OF the gigantic outcropping
near the landmark that gives the
mine it's name. After the first pay
ment to Wickenburg the buyers dis
of the United States and that first
payment was the only payment ever
made on the property. The output
of the mine amounted to millions.
For the past two Or three years
recovery from the dumps has been
attempted by process of cyaniding,
with a certain measure of success,
but at labor cost that in the end
proved proh1bftive The ore that is
already uncovered in the mine
amounts to a considerable tonnage,
much of it in the pillars that have
been left in all the workings of the
incline that constitutes the main
shaft. 1t is proposed to recover all of
this by modern methods of mining
as we'll as to attempt tC uncover
new ore bodies.
The Vurture Schist
A formation that has long been
known to mining men as the Vulture
schist runs across the country here
from southeast to northwest for a
number of miles, and much good
mining property is located along its
entire length. The Sands Land lying
to the northwest of the Vulture and
comprising two groups known as
the John D ", and the Malindy, as
well as the group held by Camille
PeneJero, adjoining these, are of
particular interest Just now and
company has been formed for the
immediate development of one of
these properties. Several old shafts
are located at various points on The
holdings and their proximity to the
town of Wickenburg and easy &c
feasibility for shipping makes them
especially attractive just NOW.
Another group of claims lying to
the south OF these and directly west
of the Vulture will undoubtedly see
some development in the near future
as they offer several very attractive
features and are in the field of
present activity.

JAMES n. KIRBY
Buster THAN EVER
CAMPAIGNS ON SIDE

One Office that has always been
open to the taxpayers of Arizona is
tthe Office of the Secretary of State,
where James III. Kirby puts through
volume of business that would make
an. ordinary mail order house look
like village post Office. The po-
sition of Secretary of State is one
of the most important among the
Offices and the people Of Arizona
have shown their appreciation of Mr..
Kerbys energetic regime in the past,
as they probably will again at the
coming election.
No citizen can come in contact
with Mr.. Kerby in the course of
his duties without feeling that here
is servant who puts real energy
into the work of administering his
Office; and no one can study the
duties of that Office without seeing
that it is the biggest one-man job
in the state.
In letter recently issued to voters
Mr.. Kerby, who is too busy to do
much personal campaigning, recalls
with pride that he has come in con-
tact personally with $4,000 residents
of the state during the past two
years, and expresses himself as per-
fectly ready to abide by their YER
dict at the polls. Courtesy and speed
in concientious performance of his
duties is exactly what every one OF
his clients will accede to him.
