ON new MINE EAST
OF PICACHO LAKE

What is believe to be
valuable mineral deposit
bearing copper, gold and sill
yer ore, has been discovered
on the east side of the Plea
cho mountains by A. Fem

man of this section.
Following the analysis of the
ore by assayers, mining op-
perations have been COM
menced under the supervi-
sion of S. E. Merenbach,
E. M. Petroleum Engineer
and Geologist, and lecturer
at the University Southern

COMPENSATION INSURANCE RATES

Because of the possibility of benefits of
compensation insurance being greater with the
rates generally lower in Arizona the Arizona
Industrial Commission has denied proposed
SO per cent increase in rates asked by the Ma
tional Council of Workman's Compensation,
pointing out that cooperation of employers on
public works has made possible low rates and
reasonable profit, thereby making it unneces-
sary to authorize higher rates.
In letter under date of September 80,
Governor G. w. P Hunt addressed the In
dustrial Commission urging that they deny the
proposed hike in rates.
81 note according to your Fifth Annual Re-
port recently submitted to me-" wrote the gov
ernor, that the State Fund is in splendid shape.
If this is true -. there should be no occasion
for such wholesale increase $3.50 as is now
demanded by your competitors the private
carriers. You are apparently writing ma
Jority of the business of the State 10 % less
than present rates, and in addition recently re-
turned to your policy holders dividened of
more than $15O,OOO"
Because the Industrial Commission has
the power to fix rates, the private underwriters
wanted permission to raise their charges to a
figure over one-third more than they receive at
present.
The action of the commission in denying the
increase will result in big saving for those
who must carry compensation insurance for
their employees
Governor Hunt has once more demonstrate
ed his interest in the welfare of the state bv

compensation insurance rates be left where
they will not become burden upon the en-

New York, Aug 6-(UP)-Benny Leonard, recognized as one of the most intelligent and capable box CTS of all times, plans to return to the ring after an absence of seven years.
 Leonard absent since he retired undefeated as worlds lightweight champion in 1924, announced his comeback plans last night. He will fight under the management Of Jack KearnS, onc-timc manager of Jack Dempsey and present pilot of Mickey Walker. He plans to make his debut late this month in Chi cago against an unsclected oppon- ent and will seek both the wclter- weight and middlcW weight cham pionships.
 Leonards return 10 the ring is not actuated by 4 love for the game from which he retired "in respect for the wishes of his dear old mother" Rather, Benny is q victim of financial depression. The stock market and a career as own CT of professional hockey team gave Leonard q harder blow than any he received during q career of 200 ring bouts and he now Is re- ported to have little of the $500,000 fortune with which he retired.

TWO CONN GOLFERS
 ELIMINATED FROM '-. BROOKLINE PLAY
Gamble and Lapham Lose in Massachusetts TOur= nament-Finals To-day

Brookline, Mass, Aug 6.-Con- necticut's last two remaining as- pirants for New England amateur championship laurels were elim- mated in the semi finals play at the Country club yesterday after noon wien Dave Lapham, young Yale star from Woodway, bowed to Jimmy Dolan of Worcester by a score of to 2, and Dave Gam bIe of Race Brook was forced to accept 4 to decision from Joe Batchelder of Salem.
 The Connecticut pair gave both of to-day's finalists stiff battles every inch of the way and won their way into the semi-finals berths during the morning in two tight matches. Lapham defeated Edmund Burke of Wanumeton- omy, E. l., at the 18th hole after the discouraging experience of watching q lead of dormie three eradicated by the brilliant finish ing spurt of the Rhode Island, while Gamble's morning victory was at the expense of Ed Bushiere of Sandy Burr, over whom he won the decision of 2 to l.
 Lapham made game bid to stand off Dolan in the afternoon semi-final, but the upstaet young night worker from power plant, despite the fact that he has aver aged about two hours sleep each night since the tournament began, managed to stay off his bull dog opponent from Connecticut even after Lapham had squared the match at the 14th when Dolan showed his first signs of cracking.
 Dolan's regulation 4 on the 18th followed by q brilliant birdie deuce at the 16th, while Lapham was first in trap and then short with A. rubbed drive, settled the issue.
 Gamble was not the golfer In the afternoon against BatcheIder that he was while playing Buslere in the morning, when he was three np on the Sandy Burr man at the turn with q 34. He was two down 10 Batchelder at the same point in the afternoon with a 38, and seemed to have difficulty with his approaches through most or the match.

FRYER EXCELS AS
 HAMILTON VOLLEY BALL TEAM WINS
East Enders Create Triple Tie for InterplaygrOund League Leadership, Dee feating Division - Ful- Ter Humbles Chase

Herb Colby's hitherto undefeat- ed Division street volley ball team was handed q surprise upset last night at the Hamilton Park when Johnny Wilcox's cellared Hamil- tonians scored two consecutive tri- umphs over the north enders. 16-12 and 15-6. In the other interplay ground league game Fuller had lit- tie difficulty downing Chase, win ming 15-10 and 15-9.
 Three Bad Men
 Hamilton appeared on the court with Eddie Sutton, Dartmouth grid luminary, Tom Daly. Boston Col lege trackster and Jimmy Fryer, speedy Crosby halfback, in their lineup and what q game this trio played and talked. Division was leading the first game 12-2 when the east enders came to life and with Fryer serving q Ia 'Pick" Me- Grath, tied the count and then scored three other points to take the initial game.
 Exchanging courts for the next encounter, the Colbymen again went into the lead for d short while until Hamilton took it's serve. Then some fine net playing intermingled with plenty of north end misplays allowed the east enders to win, 15-6.
 Triple Tie Now
 As result of Hamilton's sur prise win three teams are now tied for the leadership, Division, Duggan and Fuller seeking first honors. Jim Fryer and Ed Sutton were the winners best bets while Al Dobkins and Bill Sweeney ex- celled for the Divisioners.
 Eddie Dunlap Features
 Bill Jones' Fuller team disposed of Chase very easily. The first part of the initial game was very inter- esting until the teams tied at 10-10. Then with Eddie Dunlap playing like he never played before, the Fulleritcs annexed five points to win, 15-10. The second game saw q little dissention in the Chase team which resulted in Fuller having lit- tle opposition afforded them. The game ended with Chase trailing, 15-9.
 Dunlap, Tom O'Dea and "Mal- ook" Egan aided greatly in the winners exhibition while Mike Moore, Overton and Balcom stood out for the losers.
 Games Tonight
 might at 7 o'clock at Fuller street Fulton Park will be the guests of Bill Jones Fullerites. At Mill street at o'clock the post poned game between Washington and Duggan will be played, and using Mondays games as a crite- rion, there should be plenty of fire works at Mill street when the rival take the court.

SLATTERY DONE
 BOUT WITH MAXIE FOR TITLE SHOWED
ROsenblOOm Won Nod in in Seventh Clash of Pair; Show Drew $3O,- 900 for New Low Record
BY DIXON STEWART

| gJthNeS otuu
 New York, Aug. 8.-(UP).- ed his right to the worlds light heavyweight boxing championship, and unless more capable conten- der than Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo can be developed a moratorium on title bouts in the 175-pound di- vision is in order.
 Rosenblooms decisive victory over Slattery in a 15-round bout at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, last night, effectively eliminated the Bufralo as a championship contender. In addition 1t effectively eliminated all desire of the 1000 spectators who witnessed the dreary contest to see any more such titles defenses by Rosenbloom.
 The bout unquestionably was one of the poorest ever glorified by worlds championship" billing and was as far removed from the stir ring titular battles of light heavy weight history as were the gate re- ceipts of $30,000 from the $450.000 record established by Paul Berlen- bach and Jack Delaney when the 176-pound title was last risked at Ebbets field in 1926.
 End or the Trail
 In ring parlance, Slattery appear ed "all washed up." He had noth- ing left except his knowledge of the game and natural defensive skill and these qualifications were valu- able only in that they enabled him to go through the contest with minimum of punishment.
 Jimmy had absolutely no offense and he won only one round of the contest-the 13th-in which Rosen- bloom coasted to save his efforts for fast finish. Slattery held Rosenblooom even in one round, the third, but the New Yorker won all of the remaining 13 sessions.
 Rosenbloom. never more than a fast skipping clown, fought his usual fight and piled up the winning points with open handed taps. He did all of the forcing and outscored Slattery by wide margin but there was little power in his blows and the crowd soon tired of his tac- tics and booed the contest through out the closing rounds.
