cess of the plan; and now that this
attraction is assured, the town is
working together to put it over as
big as the Town Rodeo.
Every town in the Hassayampa
wheel will be enlisted in sending
a delegation over for the, four-day
show under the big tent to be set UP
right near the business center of
the city and it is safe to say that
this will become a yearly event, as it
has in other good towns.
The programs will include some Of
the best music and entertainment fea-
lures, with one good lecture and
three act play. Active committees
will be at work in Parker, Bouse,
Aguila, Salome, Wenden, Forepaugh
and other communities near enough
to benefit by this rare series of en-
tertainments.

THE OLD VULTURE MINE
ADJOINING LEDGES UNTOUCHED
COUNTRY AROUND THE TOWN
BY T. S. TowIes

A monument to the days that are
gone, landmark in the history of
Maricopa County, and the scene of
renewed activities in the mining in
dustry, is what trip around the Vul-
ture district reveals.
You can't lie about this country, no
difference how much you drink from
the Hassayampa. In this meeting Of
the mountain with the desert, there is
the scenic beauty for the brush of
great artist; in the meeting of the
past with the present, there is field
for the greatest promoters prospectus
ever written; in naturalization and
in the province of geology, here lies
an open book to be pondered.
A Map of Every District
The MINER will present a map of
the entire country soon, drawn by
Thomas c. Fisher, with detailed in
formation as to every important hold
ing along the roads that radiate out
of Wickenburg. The purpose Of this
is that when a stranger strikes the
town asking information as to mining
properties he may be interested in
reliable information will be immedi-
ate1y available. To facilitate this
matter, it is desired that every one
having properties, whether for sale or
not, send in such information to this
Office.
The MaIindy and the J. D. V. Groups
In the meantime, birdseye view
to the northwest of the Vulture re-
veals, first a gold bearing property
that will be dealt with in a separate
claims comprising the two above
named and another lying west of and
dovetailing with these interesting
holdings, all of which are within easy
distance from the town and are Of
interest in every way.
In the first place, this country af-
fords a pleasant drive, with abun-
dance of quail, and cotton tails, and
deer In the second place, it is of
historic interest, the old smelter an
tedating everything of its kind, per-
haps, in the entire neighborhoOd.
But, mainly of interest on account Of
the rock formation in relation to the
Vulture schist
What is undoubtedly the conta 3t
lode dies in the hill directly north Of
the Vulture workings. Following west
from this point, at distance of ap-
proximatelv four miles an outcroDping
of five distinct lodges is noted. These
Arizona state miner., 1926-06-19

ledges, spreading like the fingers ON
great hand, take a northwesterly
trend across the country, dipping to
the north, and carrying true and ac-
curate lines of formation without
change of any sort, excepting at one
point of interest where a transverse
cut of red porphyry shows up dis
tinctly.
Now the beauty of these findings
lies in the fact that at two points
shafts have been sunk to such depths
that immediate sampling can be done
and values determined without fur
ther cost. The largest shaft is on
the Malindy main ledge, two hundred
and seventy-five feet having been cut
through the ore. On the j. V, d.
group, a shaft forty feet in depth re-
veals as fine showing as any On
could wish for if looking for spot
for further development.
The Old Spanish SmeIter
b0IW00u CuO TWO CIdlulS ABOVE mSIE-
toned lies a third group with many
points Of interest on it. Free gold
has been found on all of these prop
critics, and in the old smelter, the re-
mains of which are yet to be seen,
evidences are plenty that the orig
inal discoverers of this treasure used
this as a rendezvous and a treasure
mill A we'll organized hunt will
probably reveal the bed from which
they took their ore.
Students of history will find this
spot we'll worth a visit. Recent dis
coveres of an old OK shoe and a black
squat-necked bottle of ancient and
foreign design are as yet the only
clues to the identity of the builders
of the smelter, and it is not improb-
able that someone will unearth in
teresting data there in the near fu-
ture.

MONTE CRISTO MINE NOW
PL, L,ANNING SOUND FUTURE;
NOT SOLD AS REPORTED

For the present, at least, there
will be no change either in the
MANAGEMENT or the policy of the
operations at the Monte Cristo.
This was learned by repre-
sentative of the MINER through
an interview Saturday with Ezra
w. Thayer, President of the COM
nanv and director of its destiny.
mRunor of a sale is absolutely
unfounded," said Mr.. Thayer
If is known that for some time
mast interests with big resources
have been carrying on negotiations
looking to a plan by which they can
oct hold of this highly desirable prop
erty and it is probable that from
these activities grew the rumors that
have been circulating about town Tor
tho mast week. Some day something
of the sort may be announced ana
found true. but in this instance II
proves to be without foundation IN
fact.
The working of the Monte Cristo is
unioue in mine history. For nearly
fifth of century the work of block
ing out the ore has gone on, until
today the actual values uncovered
are enormous. The mine can no
longer be said to be underground;
vast quantities of commercial ore are
in actual sight. Ore from the rich
rockets are of exceptionally high
GRADE And still the work proceeds

PEOPLES CHOICE

If the people could choose who would be the
next governor of Arizona?
Even with the sort of Hobson's Choice that
modern political methods allow the people, whom
do the people want?
The one big question of public import for
the next few years will be the development Of the
Colorado. What type Of man, what particular
man living in Arizona, is best able to deal with
this question?
The question of the Colorado involves >engin-
eerng, politics. finance, law, and common sense.
No one man can be master of all subjects. But
experts can be employed by the state.
GOVERNOR is THE MAN WHO. HAS THE
BEST EQUIPMENT OF ORDINARY COMMON
SENSE, PLUS THE GIFT OF GOVERNMENT,
WHO is HE? AND HOW CAN YOU MAKE
YOUR VOTE COUNT FOR HIM?

THE GIFT OF GOVERNMENT

Even in a republic, men must be found to de-
vote themselves particularly to the problems Of
governing Thus it comes about that certain
class arises whose main business in life seems
to be to seek office Humiliating as this posi-
ton must be to a man of sense and feeling, yet
candidates are always available, and callousness
is the first requisite of statesman.
The second essential is stubborness. No
difference how subtle mans mind may be, nor
how sensitive to the currents Of the moment, I'M
less it is equipped with the set screw Of imn1ov-
ability it will never do in the stress of office.
And the third requirement is the opportun-
ity to serve. Many seek office, but not all IRE
elected. The really great Gift Of Government
seems to be the chance.
CALLOUSNESS STUBBORNNESS, AND
THE CHANCE THESE THREE.

CHANCE AND LUCK

There's no such thing as chance; but
LUCK? Yes.
In politics and horses, never back a runner
who is proverbially unlucky. Without doubt
there is such thing political luck. The breaks
of the game are nothing in baseball to what they
are in politics. Roosevelt luck" came to be ma
tional expression. So did Bryan luck" When
we speak Of the chance to serve in government
we mean little more than mere political luck.
