 WASHINGTON, April 13-The first expression in congress concerning the situation on the Mexican border was heard today when Senator Rayner, of Maryland, addressed the senate on that subject.
 Although a democrat, NIT. Rayner spoke in confidence of the attitude of President Taft and expressed the opinion there would be no war with either Mexico or Japan.
 While he did so express himself in exact terms, it was evident that MT. Rayner had in mind the reports that Japan is exerting herself to procure a eoaling station on the Pacific coast of Mexico. He said:
 ''I am willing to admit that if Japan is entering into negotiations for eoaling stations and bases for naval supplies for military purposes with Mexico, we are entitled to know what these negotiations are. Con gress is, however, without any D. formation or evidence on the subject This country would not ordinarily be entitled to know the secret treaties or alliances that other countries may make, but on the part of Mexico we unquestionably would be entitled to an explanation.
 He was confident that Japan does not seek war with the United States and declared there could be no cause for hostilities between the two coun- tries.

RICH SILVER ORE IS
 UNCOVERED IN RICO
Big Mill of Tom Reed in Commission And Monthly Output Expected
 To Increase to $2O0,00O

geles, was a visitor at the property this week The mine is making water rapidly and it is expected a quantity will be developed sufficient for mill ing purposes.
 Three shifts of miners are now driving the two drifts from the bot tom of the Ruth shaft to a connec. Dection. It is expected the work will take the better part of two months. The general manager, c. B. Van Deman, wired Superintendent Ely Hilty from his nome in Jacksonville, Fla, to rush work with all possible dispatch in the mine, that stopes may be opened and the mill put in com mission within the next sixty days. Both drifts continue to show ore val ues, while the vein width remains at better than five feet. Every foot of work shows improvement in the value of the property.
 The big automobile trucks of the Great Western Transportation com pany have been breaking roads out of Kingman this week and are get ting along nicely. One of the big cars has gone as far as the Mcguire ranch and has greatly improved the road bed. It is the intention of the company to make a separate road from the Mcguire place to Little Meadows, from which point the road over the mountain will be so i'm proved that the machines can be run into Goldroad. The greater part of the distance to Little Meadows offers small difficulties to these machines and it is expected that a week or more will bring the desired results The engines in use in the machines are being tried out and appear to be working successfully. Every part of the machine will be given a thorough trial before the cars are put on the market. Should any change be found necessary it will be made here and tried out. There is little doubt of the complete success of the big ma chimes and it is probable that they will be put into active operation in the ore carrying trade between the mines of the county and the rail road.

DRY FARMING IS
 FEASIBLE HERE
Dr. Cooke Addresses the Chamber Of Commerce--Ash Fork Road
 To Be Built
(GI0In Fridays Daily.)

"What has been done in Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington and
 Wyoming. can be done heTe,' was the declaration made last evening before the Chamber of Commerce, by
 pr. V. T. Cooke in regard to the practicability of dry farming in Yav- apai county. There were only two questions yet to be solved. One be. ing the matter of water supply for the farmer for household purposes and the other being the extent of evaporation in this climate. He had seen three states start from the nak- ed prairie, Oregon being one of them, and Portland today is the largest ex- port shipping point for wheat in the country. More cattle and hogs are shipped than ever before in that agri- cultural era, yet the cattlemen were hostile to the dry farming industry in the beginning. Last year was an abnormal one in Wyoming, For seven out of eight months, the preci- pitation was below normal and yet all crops of cereals, beets, etc, were raised successfully at an altitude of 66OO feet with killing frosts and bowling winds. Dr. Cooke had in vestigated the rainfall records here, and he was convinced that conditions were favorable to dry farming sue eessfully. He did not go into the details of the subject as he is re- serving his more important informa- tion for his lecture to be delivered Saturday evening at the High School auditorium. Today he will visit Kirk land and lecture there in the evening.
 In regard to the Summer Colony excursion to Phoenix, it was reported by W. G. Greenwood of the com mittee that the eonvass for the sale oS tickets had resulted in assurances of forty-six who would go. Eighty are required in order. to secure special train which will leave here at 1:30 o'clock on April 2l and arrive in Phoenix about 6 o'clock in time to hold a meeting there that evening. The excursion is open to everyone and it is hoped that many ladies will join the party. MT. Harris, repre- senting the general passenger agent s office stated that tickets were good until April 23, and the return limit could be extended if the Chamber desired it.
 F. W. Foster made report of his trip to Ash Fork and beyond that point, substantially as heretofore pub lished in these columns. The people of Ash Fork had agreed to repair the old Bass road to the Yavapai county boundary line and if Coeonino county did not complete the road from that point to the Grand Canyon, the eiti- zens of Ash Fork would do so. The road from Ash Fork to Prescott would follow the county road to Kings ranch and he was assured that the supervisors would make the improvement MT. Foster had receiv-

JEROME BUILDINGS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Heroic work of the volunteer fire department of Jerome and the timely shifting of the wind saved the Copper City yesterday morning from what threatened to be one of the most disastrous fires in its his tory. The warehouse and barn of the T. F. Miller Company and a cottage belonging to the United Verde Cop per Company with their entire con tents were destroyed. Five horses and eight mules were burned to death in the barn, only one horse and one mule being saved. The loss to the Miller company is estimated at $40,- 900 and the copper eompany's cot tage was valued at 5000. Both buildings were insured. MT. Fisher, in charge of the barn, had a very narrow escape. On being aroused he jumped from his bed and after cut ting loose one mule barely escaped from the blazing structure, clad only in his nightshirt.
 The cause of the blaze is unknown. It started in the north end of the barn and was discovered at l:15 clock by a dairyman in the employ of Fred Miekle on his arrival from the Verde valley on his regular morn ing trip. He immediately gave the alarm and awakened Mir. Fisher, who was asleep in the south end of the barn. The department answered the alarm promptly but the fire had made such headway that it was impossible to save the buildings which were smouldering ruins in less than an hour. The old store of the Miller company, built of sandstone, was saved The home of Will L. Clark, assistant general manager of the United Verde. also escaped but was badly seOrched. When the blaze was at its height and that portion of the town appeared doomed the wind sud denly shifted which allowed the fire fighters to get closer with many streams of water, soon getting 1t under control.
 The structures will be rebuilt.

CAMERON |S PUSHING
 VERY POPULAR BILL

(By United States Press Association)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.- There has been 10 philanthrophy in recent years that has created so great an amount of public approval as the Nathan Straus Pasteurized Milk Lab ratories, which have been the means of saving the lives of tens of thou sands of infants. New York city was the point at which MT. Straus first put his great plan into operation, and he won the applause of the metropolis, which has given official approval in support of the work. In the last sessIon of congress it was proposed to give government endorse ment and support to the work, but the measure was lost with an avail anche of other legislation towards the end of the session. A meeting at- tended by physicians, parents, and representative citizens mas just been held in Washington, at which steps were taken to bring the matter be- fore the attention of congress, and at this meeting MT. Straus was pres ent, and personally requested that Honorable Ralph H. Cameron be selected to introduce the bill that is to be considered, and take the matter
