Motorcade From
Here To Revival
Plan Of fChurches

Rev. James Crutchfield returned
from Phoenix the last of the week
and reports that a revival there is
sweeping Phoenix and Maricopa
County.
He said: Il have never seen
any revival in Arizona like this
one attending the Gypsy Smith
meetings. A great tabernacle seat
ing five thousand is filled every
night, choir of five hundred voic-
es leading in the singing OF the old
hymns and hundreds Of people at
every service starting a new reli-
gious life.
"The meetings began Sunday af-
ternoon before New Year, and up
to Wednesday noon, when / noticed
the announcement, more than six
teen hundred had signed the De-
cision Cards for higher spiritual
life and turned them in to the var
ious pastors.
"The Gypsy is man of unusual
style and cast of mind. He is as
simple as a child, but astute and
witty, and states the plainest
such way that they seem nsw
and gripping. He has winning way
and a pleasing voice, and whether
he is reading the scripture, singing
or talking, he seems to do it bet
ter than any one else could do it
just then"
Mr.. Crutchfield is organizing
a motorcade to go to Phoenix and
attend the revival Friday night
January II to be at one of their
great Young Peoples Meetings
Sections are reserved for de,ega.
tions. at is inspiring to see a
great block of High School boys
and girls, or one thousand from the
Indian Schools, or five hundred
colored people from the negro
churches" said Crutchfield.

Tucson Badger basketball team
emerged victorious over the No
gales High School quintet in the
opening game of the southern Ari-
ona interscholastic conference on
the local floor Friday night. The

MEXICO MINING LAW REFORMS BEFORE SENATE
'So|ons Expected To Favor
Return To Former Plan As
Stimulus To Develop pment

Reformation of Mexico's mining
laws to allow more lenient opera
ting regulations is being consider
ed by the Mexican senate now in
session, according to word receiv-
ed from Mexico City by the No.
gales International.
Prospects of an early change in
the law as it now stands has
prompted unusual activity in many
mining regions of Mexico and es-
pecially Sonora, it is pointed out
In one Sonora section more than
60 announcements have been made
as compared to two or three per-
nit applications which were made
in the same section at this time
last year.
A change in the law would
cause the return to the old form Of
mining regulation in operation be-
fore the war and regarded by min
ing men as the most satisfactory
and progressive in the world.
The old plan required no en-
nual assessment work. The pay
ment of taxes to the Mexican gov
ernment entitled the mine owner
to title to his ground.
Mining. circles are confident
that the Mexican lawmakers will
act favorably to cause a return Of
the old law. It is considered the
most progressive Legislative ges-
ture for the benefit of mining
that has been under consideration
in many years.
