The State Needs That Much Money
i For Two Years Without Capitol
1 Addition.
PHOENIX, Ariz.. Jan. 31. For the
conduct of its affairs during 1913
and 1914! the state of, Arizona will
need $2,500,000 according to a prelimi
nary estimate made by auditor J. C.
jCallaghan. This estimate is subject to
'increase and revision, as the figures
for some institutions .notably the
deaf and dumb school, have not been
submitted.
. Included in the auditor's estimate
are the, amounts necessary for the
operation of the state and; its institu
tions during the two years that will
elapse before another session of the
"legislature is held. It does not in
clude any appropriation for the pro
posed new wing to the capital.
Among the items is $50,000 for the
state fair, together with an appropria
tion of $75,000 .for a new exhibition
building, and $10,000 a year for im
provements. .
The state debt is in the neighbor-
hood of $3,500,000 and $55,000 a year
is needed to meet interest charges.
The actual cost of , maintaining the
state government for the two years is
estimated at $1,750,000 while the im
provements on state institutions will
cost $571,095. v

for three long months is what the
Arizona legislators expect the special
session, called by governor George V.
P. Hunt to convene next Monday, to
bring.
"I don't look for this session to end
within less than 90 days," said a mem
ber of the Maricopa county delega
tion. "It is going to be one long fight,
too. We will-be kept here till we are
worn out."
"In the first days of the sessjon,
there will be little except quarreling.
Nothing will be accomplished till we
all get tired w More will be accom-
pished in the last 30 days than in the
first 60. I see no chance of getting
everything out of he way in 60 days.
In his call the governor placed no
time limit on the session.si it can con- .
tinue indefinitely. The hot weather
will be creeping upon us before we
quit."
Board of Control.
Just what the first clash will be
over is problematical. It is more like
ly to be the much discussed board of
control bill than ay thing else.
Representative Leon Jacobs, of
Maricopa county, has a bill prepared
to abolish the board o" control, which
now consists of the governor, auditor
and a citizen memlisr, a;id elect a
state manager. At present te citizen
member of the board is practically
mansger. He can do noth'-ng, how
ever, without the consent of the gover
nor a d auditor.
. The reactionary Democrats, opposed
to governor Hunt went a manager
elected, and they want the chief exe
cutive to have little power over him.
They are a little troubled, however, by
the fact that if they pass the bill at
this session a manager will have to
be appointed until the next general
election. That appointment would have
to be left to the governor, and the
administration of one of his appoint
ees, from their point of view, would
be no improvement over the present
system.
Some way to get around leaving the
appointment to the governor is being
sought by the legislators who are op
posed to the administration. They in
timate wisely that they have some
thing up their sleeves that will sur
prise the Hunt element.
Capital Punishment.
Another question that is going to
furnish ground for a long drawn out
fight is the abolition of capital punish
ment. Governor Hunt is violently op
posed to the taking of human life by
the state. In the penitentiary at Flor
ence are four murders, sentenced to
hang months ago but reprieved by the
governor until the legislature could
take some action on the capital puish
ment law. If the law is repealed, the
lives of the murderers be spared.
Sentiment on the question varies
widely throughout the state. The gov
ernor has made both friends and en
emies by the stand he has taken. The
lawmakers havekept their ears to the
ground with great industry but many
of them are unable to determine how
a majority of their constituents feel
about it.
In his message governor Hunt will
include several thousand words of
argument against capital punishment.
DAVID COLE HERE
STUDIES NEW PROCESS
MIAMI, Ariz., Feb. 1. David Cole,
of the Arizona Copper company in the
Clifton-Morenci district is in Miami
for the purpose of ascertaining results
from the "flotation process." experi
ment, a process being conducted here
by the Inspiration Consolidated Cop
per company. The "flotation process"
is being tested here in all milling pro
cesses. It is something new and if
it succeeds it is believed it will save
50 per cent from mill tailings.
Phoenix Has a Lot of Frost Bitten
Oranges.
Part of the California oranges
which were frost bitten by the re
cent cold weather have been dumped
on Phoenix. They are being sold
as perfectly sound fruit, despite the
fact that it is well known that a dan
gerous illness may follow the eating
of the frost bitten fruit. It is said
that a great quantity of the fruit has
been sold on the coast at 75 cents per
box and that the usual price has
been paid in Phoenix.

There is no better medicine made
for colds than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It acts on nature's plan,
relieves the lungs, opens the secre
tions, aids expectoration;and restores
th system to a healthy condition. For
sale by all Dealers.

President of Company Says $30,000
Is Being Spent in Preliminary
Work on Mine From Which
Padres Took Fortunes.
TUCSON There . nave been pur
chased in- Tucson and shipped to the
Cababai mine $3,000 worth of supplies
according to C. N. Wilson of Indianap
olis, president of the Cababai Mining
company who has just returned from
the camp. With him is S. G. Mc
Wade, general manager.
"We are spending $30,000 in pre
liminary work," said Wilson ."We
are working 25 men now and as soon
as the development work is com
pleted, we will put on a large force.
The sixth wagon train will leave Tuc
son for the camp Saturday.
Wilson has taken pictures along
the road to Cababi which he has
presented to the chamber of com
merce. This silver mine is said by B. C.
Brichita to have been worked in the
17th century. Prior to the ceding of
this territory to the United States
by Mexico it was worked by Francis
can padres who shipped the ore to
Tucson by burro trains, thence by
wagon to Yuma and down the Gulf
of California to smelters in Wales.
i
Stirred Up a Hornet's Nest.
Arthur Cree, a blacksmith at the
Monte Christo mine near Prescott is
said to have stolen a swarm of bees
and their hive. Cree is probably the
first man in the world to steal bees
in their hives. Many a man and
some boys have stolen a bees nest,
but Cree is probably the first to cap
ture a swarm around where he was
working and after alighting he got
the hive and housed them.
The Phoenix Indian school will re
ceive the sum of $131,400 from the
government. This sum will be given
because of the passing of the Indian
appropriation bill. The bill provides
$330,000 for Arizona and New Mexico.
Five thousand dollars is set aside for
nomadic Papago Indians in Pima
county.

BIG COPPER STRIKE
IN CHIRICAHUA MTS.
Shaft on Willie Rose all In Ore Esti
mated to Average Fully 25 Per
Cent Copper
What bids fair to develop into th
biggest and best ore strike in the
Chiricahua mountains was mado
recently by Supt. W. H. (Uncle Bill)
Smith on the Willie Rose Copper
Mining Company's property, about
14 miles south of San Simon.
It consists of a full shaft of copper
ore estimated conservatively to
carry 25 per cent copper. "
Shortly before the first of the
year Supt. Smith was authorized to
commence the annual assessment
work; and for the accomplishment
of this work he began a new shaft
above the - old workings. Almost
immediately he struck some fine
copper glance ' ore, and soon the
whole shaft is in ore.
' With the exception of a portion of
the time the "shaft has been all in
ore ever since. For a while a horse
came in the limestone, cutting off
a portion of the richest ore, but
gradually this has been diminishing
in size until now it is almost gone,
and Supt. Smith expects it soon to
disappear altogether. However,
the shaft may be said to .be all la
ore, for the horse called in this
case by miners a chert itself con
tains low grade ore.

will be put to work, and that devel
opment will be pushed vigorously.
