might prove as invaluable in the mountains or
Mexico as they have under somewhat similar
conditions in the Philippines
Similarly the conditions existing at the scene
of the present campaign are such as to empha-
size the fact that there is yet very important
sphere for the cavalry in the army.
1t as though the crisis in this unexpected quar-
ter were a providential answer to the argu-
ments of those persons in and out OF of11clal
life who have been urging in recent years
that the foot-soldier should be practically the
whole thing in our military complement. 1t
must be apparent to everybody who is even
casually conversant with geographical cond1-
tons that if Uncle Sam is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada" he will have need OF
considerable cavalry force and a force pro-
vided with the best possible class of mounts
There are mountainous localities in the region
to the south of us where only cavalry could
operate successfully. Neither automobiles nor
yet aeroplanes would serve as a substitute
And incidentally it may be noted that conditions
on the Mexican border have afforded an OPP
portunity much earlier than anticipated to
test the practical military value of the airship.
The servicability of the sky craft for scouting
operations ought to be pretty well attested ere
the troops return to their home stations.
No better theater of war, real or mimic, than
the southwest could be chosen for demon
strating the progress made during the past few
years, both in the methods and equipment OF
the U. s. Signal corps. The general public,
with it's craving for the spectacular has heard
most regarding the introduction of the aero
plane as a utensil of warfare but as matter
of fact the Signal Corps has recently intro
duced innovations far more important from a
military standpoint than the aerial scouts and
these communicative utilities and novelties for
day and night signaling would obviously prove
especially valuable in rough country where
there are few existing telephone or telegraph
wires and where the erection of such lines
would be difficult and expensive. The Signal
Corps Is fully abreast of the times (and of the
military establishment of any other nation) In
it's experiments with wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony and 1t has developed some
very ingenious expedients for the Of rap
idly moving forces in the f1eld,-as for instance,
the auto-telegraph car or telephone and tele-
graph station on wheels and the apparatus
which enables a mounted trooper to lay or reel
in a telephone wire automatically while his
horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con-
tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic
wire.
1t is expected that when the joint operations
of the army and navy in the south have passed
into history the record Of operations will al
ford argument one way or another as to what
shall be done with the U. S. Marine Corps
Our readers will recall that this force, the sol
diers of the navy" has been for some time past
a bone of contention in service and official cir
cles. Many persons have contended for years

ARE PUSHING WORK VIC
OROUSLY FOR ORE BODY

After a brief cessation of oper-
alton, work has been resumed in
the drift ahead on the 1000
level Of the Ward shaft in lEe di-
rection of the known ore body in
Julia ground, which was so thor
oughly prospected and opened up
on the 1900 level of that mine,
as shown by the United States ge-
illogical survey made in 1882 by
Becker. This drift is now cut
over $50 feet, and it is expected
that the same will have to be ex-
tended at least 800 feet further be-
fore approaching the mineralized
zone, This work is held to be
very important, for with Julia TAX
ing ont ore later, means a resump-
tion of operations in other prop
critics in that vicinity. A general
revival all along the line is now
well under way.

PHILLIPS is A SMOOTH JAIL
BREAKER; OUT FOURTH TINE
ALLEGED FORGER HAS MADE
GOOD HIS FOURTH
ESCAPE.

out again, in again, gone
again, seems to be the little sketch
most favored by L, G. Phillips, the
alleged Jail breaker who Tuesday
stepped out for pastures new.
The Virginia Chronicle tells of his
escapade in the following manner:
e. G. Phillips, forger, Jail break
er and all around quick change
artist, took his departure again last
evening from the calaboose at Day
ton, turning the trick for the sec
ond time without the knowledge or
consent of his jailers. This morn
ing when the jailer went to the
cell to count noses he found Phil
lips among the missing. He rubbed
his eyes; pinched himself to make
sure he was awake, and then real
lied that the elusive Phillips had
actually made his getaway once
more. Last night at 10 O'Clock
Phillips was sleeping peacefully in
the cell, having for a companion
another prisoner. Sometime during
the night Phillips unlocked the
cell door, locked the door again to
make sure his companion did not
escape, and calmly walked out. The
jailer, who had made everything
fast for the night, was quietly and
serenely sleeping in an adjoining
room. Sheriff Randall was at once
notified and the alarm sent by tele-
graph to all parts of Nevada. Car
son was notified and a posse is
now out in all directions securing
the country, but up to late hour
this afternoon no trace had been
secured of him
1t will be remembered that only
few months ago Phillips walked
out of the jail at Dayton, and after
several days of trailing, was To-
Gated in Washoe valley, where he
had climbed tree. He was taken
back to Dayton and close watch
Kept on him, but that made nc
difference apparently, for he turned
the trick once more. In spite oil
close scrutiny the prisoner has beer
able to rig up some kind of an in
strument to pick the lock, for he
made no noise whatever in gettine
out this second time. He had beer
arraigned for trial, and the cas-,
was set for Wednesday of thi
week, II was postponed before OF
account of the illness of his attor
ney, Charles Miller and it is evi
dent that he did not care to tax,
chances before the court on tn,
forgery charge.
1t is not believed that Phillip
can escape capture, for every ave
nue. of escape has been guarded
Phillips certainly holds the recor
i'll this part of the country as
jail breaker for as fast as he
in again. he is gone again" i
case he is captured, a chain rivete
to the floor awaits him.
