PUNCHBOARDS
GET THE HOOK
AFTER THEFTS

Fairmont-M Mayor Nicholas and
Chief Plenge delivered knockout
punch to the punchboards in
Fairmont last week, cleaned them
out of business places and burned
the whole pile at the rear of the
city hall.
Following the arrest and con-
viction of a 15-year-old boy who
confessed to IL robberies to get
money with which to play punch
boards, the city officials decided
to act.
Mayor Nicholas ordered the
police to go into every business
place and take up all punch
boards and everything that look
ed like a punchboard.
''They are all out and they're
going to stay out" said the may
or.
While some types of punch
boards were ordered out of the
city some months ago, certain
style used to sell candy was per-
mitted.
Because there was a sort of
'gentlemen's agreement" to toll
crate the candy boards, no arrests
were made.
"There is no question that even
this type of board is Illegal" said
the mayor, 'but the fact that they
have been tolerated under a YER
bal agreement would probably
mean that dealers having such
boards would win in court OF
law. There will be no further
agreements of this kind"
Some of the punchboards in the
city disappeared Immediately af-
ter The Fairmont Sentinel story
that boy had been sentenced be-
cause of stealing to play punch
boards.
When police went through the
business section they returned
with Is boards. Later several
others were picked up.
These, together with seven
confscated October 9 made a
good sized bonfire.
Most of the boards used candy
as the ''bait" to win punches at
five cents each.
Some of the boards gave candy
for every punch, and additional
bars for certain indicated lucky
numbers.
Other boards gave candy only
on indicated numbers, paid moth
ing on other numbers.
One board offered coup cake
assortment" and three boards Of
fered cans of beer as prizes.
Mayor Nicholas said police
would be instructed to watch for
punchboards in the future, and
confiscate them whenever and
wherever found.

had previously been looted and
since that time the owner had
been hiding money in secret
places. When the attendant lock-

had been told, secreting $42 in
currency in the waste basket. The
next morning Harold emptied the
basket into the garbage can and
set fire to it. When the refuse
was blazing merrily, he suddenly
thought of the money. Hastily
extinguishing the blaze, he found
the bills at the bottom of the can,
partially covered with the shell of
a cantaloupe. The. bills were
charred on one end where they
had not been covered and few
were reduced to ashes. Jordahl
cautiously recovered the money
and the ashes and took it to a
local bank, from where it was
sent to Washington.

Nogales Owes Debt Of Gratitude
ToEscaIada, Baldwin And Bristol

Nogaes owes a debt of gratitude to Louis Escalada,
Clyde Baldwin and Lewis Bristol for bringing home
the bacon from the state convention of firemen in
Kingman last Weekend
The three landed the next firemen's convention for
Nogales and it will be held during the third annual
Frontier Fiesta in this city in the spring of 1888
It was no easy job to get that convention Phoenix
and other towns much larger than Nogales sought it
but the Nogalians went to Kingman determined to get
the meeting for their home town and that determina
tiOn won.
Besides landing the 1888 convention Nogaes was
also honored by Escalada being elected president of
the State Firemen's Association.
This town needs some more public spirited Louis

more conventions for the border metropolis.

New Experiment
In Combating
Heat At Magma
By DYKE WILLIAMS

| United Press Staff correspondent
! PHOENIX, April 30-CUP)-Mine
operators throughout the state and
nation will watch a new expert
ment in combating heat to be made
at the Superior mines of the Mag
ma Copper company, hopeful that
the method may prove to be a key
to cheaper extraction of deep-lyii1g
ore bodies.
The majority Of Arizona's deep
mines where the ore contains sui
phides are troubled with heat prob
lens, Charles F. Williams, editor Of
the Arizona Mining Journal, point
ed out.
The Superior installation, FOR
which contracts were let Jan. %,
will be the first such test of under
ground cooling in the state, it was
said.
Magma engineers anticipated a
construction cost of 100000, for the
first unit. The refrigeration has
been planned to lower the humidity
of the air, as well as decrease the
temperature, thus permitting nor
NAL body process to operate.
Installation will be on the 5000
foot level, the lowest depth at which
work has proven practical under
present conditions. The Magma ore
deposits have been explored to a
depth of below 1000 feet, however,
and with the new equipment it was
expected that mining below the 81
600-foot level would be pushed.
Heat ordinarily is generated in
the deeper mine levels through con-
tact of the oxides with air, which
literally causes a burning" Of the
ore. The United Verde mine has
been ION fire" at Jerome for years
from this cause, and other oxide
mines are similarly affected. Be-
fore its shutdown. Swansea was
known as one of the hotter mines
of the state.
There is, in addition to the oxide
heat, normal increase of one de-
gree for every SO feet of depth to
internal earth heat.
Mine cooling by refrigeration is
only two or three years old-it is
one of the newest steps Of the in
dustry" A Phoenix mining man
pointed out. The practical import
ance of the new work is that 1t
might increase the "life expectancy"
Of mining properties.
In the equipment at the Magma
property, liquid refrigerant will be
used, but it will be one that is en-
trely harmless, William Koerner,
general manager, reported. The re-
noval of moisture from the mine
air will be accomplished by blowing
the air over cold coils, with water
percipitating as it does on the coils
Of the kitchen ice box
Similar units have been installed
in South Africa, and in Brazil.
The contract was let to the Car
rier Company, Of Newark, N. j.
Work will begin about April 1, to be
finished approximately four months
later.
