consented to make the race the latter

had had the effect of causing another
candidate to openly avow himself and
get busy in an effort to acquire the

Phoenix, which has recently spent
many thousands of dollars in fitting
up its central fire station, was natur
ally a little chesty when it figured up
its fire loss for the year and found
that it was about 75 per cent lower
than that of the previous twelve
months. Phoenix even went so far as
to claim to having had the lowest fire
loss in the United States, but now
that Prcscott is able to show a loss
of exactly onc-Iialf that or the capital
town, in all probability the mantle of
Phoenix' greatness for fire prevention
will fall to the mile-high city.
VANADIUM MINE

based on answers to a questionnaire

"How much meat did you save

"How much sugar did you save in

These were the questions asked the
restaurant proprietors following a

weight of the commodities saved.

year approaches than it has been in
previous years during which mining
has enjoyed exceptional interest.
While the government provisions of
exemption from prospect work might
have been expected to in some de
gree reduce the usual tension as to

year the opposite result, if anything,
attends to more or less extent.
Explaining this in part is the un
certainty which attends the public
construction of all new laws. Gen
erally the simpler the construction
put upon a new law the more likely
it is to meet with the final official
construction. For that reason the
most of the advice being given out
by mining authorities tells the claim
holder to stick strictly to the provis
ion of the assessment exemption rul

recorder be advised of intention to
hold claims. That is, write the re
corder a letter telling him of intent
to hold the Big Circle group of

considerable comment being heard
over determinations made recently by
Messrs. Elmer and Warren, who re
located an old property about three
miles southwest of thc railroad sta
tion, which is due to a remarkable
showing in vanadium.
Sufficient development has been
performed to form a basis of the fu
ture of thc property, and as explora
tion is given thc immensity of thc
property is made evident. Associated
with the vanadium is lead, and the
content of the first named metal will
easily reach to eight per cent. The
discovery was not anticipated, and
was made in openining up an im.
mensc dyke to ascertain what was
prevailing in other minerals. These
mining men recently entered that
field, coming from Southern Arizona.
They arc now establishing quite a
large camp, and production of a big!
tonnage is assured, which is to be
shipped in a short time. This metal
and others kindred has reached a high
price since manufacture requires it
for alloying with other metallic com
binations, and the crude concentrate
is now valued at $2.50 a pound. Van
adium steel has likewise attained the
highest market price ever known.
