NEW LIGHT is THROWN
ON ARSENAL QUESTION
crozier Charged With Attempting to
Force Fertilization Appropriation
i'm This Manner.

T. E. Sullivan, special Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Chroni-
Gle, attributes the discharge OF the 6OO
men from the Rock Island arsenal to
Gen. CroZier's desire to bring pressure
on the congressman to put through the
Notifications appropriation, which was
cut down half by the former congress.
Similar action is expected at other ar
senals. The committee on appropria-
tons has placed the Rock Island mat
ter in the hands of Congressman Wal
l. Smith of Council Bluffs, Iowa, with
instructions to make such investiga-
lions as .will enable the committee to
present the facts TO the house SO clear
ly that there can be no misunderstand-
ing about the motives that actuated
Crozier The Chronicle correspondent
cited this case as one example of an
an attempt at forcing appropriations.

principally instrumental in driving
back the ''Unspeakable Turk and
keeping him out of Hungary at the
period when bands of these marauders
were ravaging most of Europe. By his
endeared himself to the people and
gained great and permanent place
in the nations history. His name was
HUNYADI JANOS, or John Hunyadi,
as it would be in English. To the pres
ent day, in the affections of all Hun
garians, he holds the place of one OF
their greatest national heroes. Is it
strange then that they should wish to
give this honOred name to one of their
most wonderful natural products-the
famous Mineral Laxative Water from
the springs at Buda Pest? The I'M
failing value of this water as a sure
and gentle natural laxative has gained
for it world wide reputation. greater

.CHANN|NG SELLS THE
WITCH ELY PROPERTY
Bambergers Secure Some Rich
Ground in Heart of Famous
Copper Region.

Information was received in this city
Wednesday from New York to the
effect that r. H. Charming, Jr., the gen
eral manager of the Utah Consolidated
company, and his Eastern associates
had disposed of the Witch group of
claims in the Ely district to j. z, and
Earnest Bsmberger. Mr.. Charming
went cast several days ago ostensibly
for the purpose Of conferring with the
Utah Consolidated officials regarding
the present smelter smoke situation In
the local valley, and J. E. and Earnest
Bamberger left almost at the same
time.
Word had been received from the
East earlier in the day that something
interesting was brewing in the affairs
Of the Witch property, the reports be-
ing that company was TO be organ
ized for the purpose of taking over and
opening the group. The word that Mr..
Claiming and his associates had dis
posed of their holdings was genuine
surprise, and goes to show to the salts
faction of the local circles that the
consideration for this deal was one of
large dimensions.
The Witch ground is one of the most
desirable holdings in the Ely district,
being located upon the famous por
phyry zone which has produced some
Of the greatest mines of the country.
Additional details of this purchase will
be awaited with interest 1t is ex-
pected that the new owners will at
once organize a company and proceed
to make of their possessions one OF the
banner mines of the camp.
