gestS it.
One Tower Room
The tower which centers almost ex-
actly with Twelfth street makes an
ornamental feature to the hotel yet it
carries with it a feature of practical
utility for there will be one room and
bath in the third story of the tower.
The room will be large and will afford
an exceptional view of the city anG
the mountains in the distance so that
it ought to be in demand. Further,
it will serve as the bungalow on the
roof of the Sherman House in Chi
cago, for the quarters Of distinguished
guests who may be in the city for any
special occasion,
The fourth story of the tower is in
tended for feature that will probably
not be Immediately installed but it
viii be one that will lend a charm
! and interest to the hotel not found In
many hotels The plan is to place
chimes there that will mark the time
of day from about or 8 in the
morning until p M, the chimes to
be of musical quality actuated by
mechanical device but differing from
hour to hour.
There will be an inclosed garden
when the structure has been COM
pleted, north of the patio in which
the plants and shrubs will be localized
to bring out some of the wonders Of
the Arizona cacti and other growth
that may be found in native state over
the plains and in the mountains. This
/ will be developed with an idea OF max
ing it one of the show features OF this
part of the state.
Walls Two Feet Thick
| The walls of the new hotel will be
of adobe laid in mortar. The aver
age thickness will be about two feet.
This will be recommendation OF the
hotel for summer use as with that
construction it. is certain. to be OF COM

/ The tower, which has already been
/ mentioned, will be one Of two features
that rise above the average level OF
the building. The other is the stack

artistic lines and instead OF nlarrliig

lines at the rear OF the picture The

/ Something About Architect
ANY consideration of the new hotel
would be incomplete without some
thing of the architect whose, creation
the plans are. In the selection OF
Carleton Monroe Winslow Of Los An
geles, to make the plans, the COM
n1ittee secured both an architect and
an artist, if one could be divorced
from the other. Putting it another
way, they secured an architect with
an artistic and colorful background in
experience from the things he has
planned in his professional career. He

ESKIMO BOYS
ENJOY SCOUT
WORK HE SAYS

Under the leadership of Clark M.
CARRIER, of the bureau of education,
Alaska division, of the United States
department of the interior, a troop of
Eskimo Boy Scouts has been formed at
Wales, Alaska, on the Bering Strait.
The troop is made up of 18 Eskimo
boys, organized into two patrols OF
nine boys each.
An insight into the organization of
the Eskimo Boy Scout troop at Wales
is contained in the report of Scout
master CARRIER He tells of the organ
izing of the Eskimo Boy Scout troop
soon after he started his work at Wales
several years ago.
Organization.
"The winter term OF school had just
opened. A special meeting of all the
boys, between IL and 20 years of age
was called, then the scout proposition
was placed before them The fact that
they did not even know the meaning
of the word scout reflects no discredit
upon them, for we must be cognizant
of the fact that they are native ESki-
mo boys with whom we are dealing
and not the white boys who have all
the advantages of the white mans
civilization. The scout handbook was
shown them, the things that scouts do
explained and a mighty lively and eX-
cited interest was soon manifest.
1.-The Eskimo boy is seriously handi-
capped in that he has no money and
rarely sees any, so he has never had
the means to procure joys and pleas
ures of his own volition. The scout
master who must be missionary in
spirit and deed as well, procured for
each eligible and willing boy a copy OF
the official handbook Now, wonder
if any other boy ever cherished pos
session like these Eskimo boys cher

nucleus for the real work that was tc

Use CARNATION
FOR A TRIBUTE
TO HIS MEMORY

This, Jan 20, is the 85th anniver-
Sary of the birth Of William McKin-
ley, third of the nartyred presidents
of the United States, who was shot
and fatally wounded at Buffalo on
Sept. 6, 1901, and died eight days later.
Carnations will adorn the button
holes of thousands of Americans to-
day, who will thus be carrying on
unique tradition in honoring the mem
ory of a president of the United
States. Feb. IL and Feb % are set
aside in our patriotic calendar for
reverent tribute to the names OF Lin
coin and washington. Oct 27, Roose-
velt's birthday, is often observed as
Navy day, thus recalling his part in
building up our first line OF defense.
But jan 90 is a date for remembering
not so much those elements of states
manship which twice made him chief
executive of his country as it is for
remembering the simple, kindly soul
that was the man named William Nc
Kinley Therefore this simple tribute
of wearing his favorite flower on his
birthday is singularly appropriate.
So swiftly has the world moved in
the last quarter century that, to the
present generation, at least, the name
of the oath president is comparatively
unknown. His fame is greatly over
shadowed by the dominating personal
ity of his immediate successor, the
strenuous American" and by a still
later strong personality of quite an
other Sort whose fortune it was to
lead us in the greatest war this coun-
try has ever known, But to those of
previous generation the name OF
Mckinley has very definite meaning.
Its mention recalls to them that

Anything pertaining to the mining
industry interests the people of Ari-
zona Many mining men have inter-
ests below the Mexican border and
they are as keenly and vitality inter
ested in the legal regulations affect
ing that industry as are the native
Mexicans or as they are concerning
laws governing the industry in this
state.
One of the well-known mining men
familiar with conditions in the south
ern republic is r. H. Whiteside, who
visited in Douglas last week. Mr..
Whiteside has long been active in the
industry and is fully conversant with
the various laws which Mexico has
enacted regulating mining. Because of
that fact while he was here, he was
asked for an interview covering the
subject and he made the following
statement:
"The unit of Mexican mining claims
is the 'Pertenencia This is nectar,
100 meters square-247 acres
Filling location is called tdenounc-
ing evidently derived from the idea
of denouncing the ground as more
valuable for mineral than for other
purposes. Locations within the limits
of populated towns is prohibited under
the new law.
"The filing papers are called the
'expediente'
"Under the old law the number OF
pertenencias that could be located was
unlimited; under the new law, no one
| location can be more than 100 per-
| tenencieS and no dimension can be
more than 1000 meters. Apparently
any number of locations can be made
"Under both laws the idea back OF
them is that the minerals of the sub
soil belong to the nation and not tc
the owners of the surface.
Under the old law, the title was a
perpetual lease of such minerals, but
carried no surface rights except fol
the necessary digging.

was levied on titled mining ground.
This was six pesos pertenencia up
to five pertenenciaS; on the excess up
to so pertenenciaS at nine pesos; on
the excess from so to 100 pertenencias
at IL pesos yearly; on the excess above
100 pertenencias at Is pesos per per-
tenencia yearly.
''The same rates still hold under the
new law.
THE tax 1nsJa1iment is due the first
month of the 'Tercio' (third of the
year,. A SO per cent fine is imposed
for one to 80 days delinquency and a
100 per cent fine for 80 to go days
delinquency. After which the govern
ment reserved the right to nullify the
title. This could only be done by
posting a notice to that effect on the
bulletin board of the mining agency in
which the property was located, for
a period of 80 days.
''There has been much nliSunder-
standing on this point among Aneri-
cans. Despite the voluminous dis
cussion, and an occasional furry like
that of the past year, mining titles
always have been sacred in Mexico
and cannot be voided unless they go
through this procedure. Taxes may
have remained unpaid for as much as
10 or IS years and the titles be re-
instated chat is hardly the correct
term) "a hours before the official 80

"These 'sleepers' are always a source
of danger when taking up new
ground. However, if title has unwit-
tingly been secured over an old title

course of time atterWard becomes nul-
lifted, the second title holds
