RICH STRIKE AT WINKLEMAN
STARTS OLD TIME GOLD RUSH

Arizona is undergoing its first SEM
blance of a gold rush in rnore than
two decades, following the announce
ment by James B. Girand, veteran
mining man and civil engineer and CO.
stalker of the first claim pegged out at
Dripping Springs 130 miles east of
Phoenix, that an assay on six pounds
of the ore showed values as high as
100000 ton.
During the night and early day hum
dreds of persons we're trekking over
the highways from central Arizona
to Winkleman, the last town on the
way to Dripping Springs. A wagon
road, passable to motor cars, leads to
the neighborhood in which Girand and
his partner, Dan McGraw, have To-
Gated the Tornado gold mine.
According to Grand, the first strike
was made ten days ago by McGraw,
who gathered number of samples
and took them to Phoenix TO consult
with Grand The assay proved al
most unbelievable and Charles Diehl,
of the Arizona assay office, along
with Grand returned to the claim,
where Grand stated that he had fol-
lowed surface tracings from the moth
er lode for 1000 feet.
in more than 80 years experience
in the mining game have never seen
such fabulously rich ores,' Girand
said.
Grand stated that the district gave
every indication Of rich ore bodies and
pointed out that the entire country in
the vicinity of the mine is cut by
dykes. The Christmas mine at Lon
don, Ariz., is located on these dykes.

RUTH, SPENDER SMALL TOWN STARS FooLIRG scRIBEs
BY PHILIP MARTIN
RUTH, A sPENDER

WTHILE all this talk is going on
about Babe Ruth's salary a
fine story is buried. It is not how
much dough the Babe is receiving
its how much he spent. Early
In his career with the Yankees he
received $4,000 for a vaudeville
tour. real money, too. He spent
It all and 100000 more that win
ter. After making approximately
100000 in one season he was
obliged to borrow money from the
Yankee officials to go south on
the next spring.
Ball players are noted as a
thrifty tribe. Not so George Her
man.
DABE was an odd character from
D the start. He began as a
pitcher for the Red Sox. Brick
Owens was behind the plate. Babe
eased one over.
Ball one!" chirped Brick"
"If you call another one like
that said Ruth quietly, I'm
gonna punch you right smack on
the nose"
He threw another.
Ball two." barked Brick"
Babe laconically tossed his
glove away with his left hand,
shrugged his shoulders sadly,
walked up to Brick" and pasted
him, as per agreement, right on
the snoot.
CPORTS editors, always more or
~ less gullible, are. beginning to
get their dogs on the terra firma
again. Most'o them have become
downright cynics since the late
riamented Dempsey-Tunney thing
at Philly. Few ever talk in super
ilatives about the ravishing merits
of such and such an alleged fight
er. The awful odor that Charlie
Phil Rosenberg trailed in his wake
has sickened even the noted Polly
annas of the Press. Tunney. Ma

words "bum, tramp, terrible. me-

CMALL towns still furnish the

FLagstaff's Second
Business Exposition Y
TO Be August 9-II

The executive council Of the board Of
directors of the Chamber of Commerce
has fixed the date for Flagstaff's sec
ond annual exposition for August 8,
10 and Ii. It was felt that these
dates would afford the largest attend
ance at the exposition inssmuch as
the city is, during August, generally
crowded with tourists and also the
summer session of the college is in
full swing.
During the three days Of the exposi-
ton last year, over 1000 people passed
through the doors and the board felt
that by having the celebration in
August this year, there would be three
times as many.
Requests for space in the exposition
have already been received by the
chamber office and it gives evidence
that the August exposition will mate
rally excel that of last year.
Within a short time the floor space
will be laid out and an opening date
will be announced for the renting of
locations.

Representative SLipher
Home On Visit Says
Prepared for Recess

Representative Earl G.. Slipher
took advantage of the recess of the
state legislature and came home Mon
day night, leaving again Thursday
night to return to the state capitol
for the voluntary free annex to the
regular session which the legislature
has imposed upon itself. Earl wasn't
prepared to say just how many of
these free sessions the legislature will
give, nor, if it gives more, how long
will be the recesses between each, but
intimated that many others in both
branches Of the legislature are quite
prepared if it seems advisable to keep
on recessing and convening at inter
walls during the next two years.
Mrs. Slipher remained in Phoenix
and likely will until the legislature
makes final adjournment, or takes a
longer recess than usual, or the
weather gets too warm there for com
fort.
Senator Walter Runke and Repre-
sentative Fred w. Perkins did not
come home during the recess but re-

Whippet fanciers who have exam
