Majority Leader Underwood. who has
Thrown his influence to the battleship

man. but he is willing because of the
platform pledge to vote for one ship.
Mr.. Underwood yesterday admitted the
possibility OF victory for the two-battle-
ship men. He has decided TO work for a
postponement OF final action until he can
get back to town many members who
now are in their districts. Then Mr.. Un-
derwood believes he can get his organiza-
ton back into shape and force a compro-
mise on the one -battleship basis. II final
action is taken Tuesday. as now seems

Mining.

In determining the meaning of the word "minerals' in the admin. istra,ion of the United States public land laws, sight must not be lost of the fact that a too liberal inter pretation of the word would greatly restrict the lands open to settlement, as we'll as cut down the area and consequent value of the school quarters to the western states.
 Obviously if all lands containing limestone, silica and clay were to be chased as mineral, it would be al most impossible for a homestead eniryman, or desert land entryman or for the states 10 know with any degree of certainty that the public

 The best grade of sulphides, it is said, is shown at the deepest point. and when the 300 is reached drift. ing north and south will be again prosecuted. With favorable deter. minations established at those points sinking will be given, and ultimately the great depth of 1000 feet will be accomplished.
 Mir. Farrell states that the prop. erty will be explored sufficiently to warrant large and permanent opera. tons for years to come. and for the present, production will be of sec. ondary importance. He feels more elated over the showing in evidence than at any time in the history of the property.

AMERICAN DRUG ACT
 WANTED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Eng, July l6-Startline figures regarding the sale and use of secret proprietary medicines and appliances have been given in the testimony of Alfred Cox, secretary of the British Medical association. before the selec, committee of the House of Commons which is inquir-
 ing into the patent medicine traffic.
 Cox stated that the gravest ex- amples of the injury being done in this country by extensively adver- tised medicines and appliances were found among people suffering from consumption, cancer and rupture. He testified that in numerous cases of these maladies worthless reme- dies were tried in the early stages of the disease, and when eventually 8 medical man or surgeon was call cd in he was too late to be of any service. Frauds on the public, the witness testified, were perpetrated in connection with proprietary medi- cines and appliances by the use of grossly exaggerated statements con corning their alleged curative prop critics and false statements as to the drugs used Some of the apparatus and articles advertised were frauds pure and simple. IL was estimated that in the year 1908 no less than Sl2,500,0O0, sum sufficient to main tain forty thousand hospital beds, was spent in Great Britain on pat ent medicines.
 Among the suggestions made by the association for the control of the evil was one based on the American Pure Food and Drugs act. which provides that the amount and kind of drugs used in a patent preparation must be specified on the label.

HOBOES FAILED TO
 FIND THE MONEY
From Wednesdays Daily,

Judge Ed Sheivicy, of Ash Fork, who arrived in the city yesterday states that he held the inquest on the remains of the man found under the railroad bridge at Chino station on the Santa Fe. and that he was identified as Arthur l.. Weich. The deceased met his death by falling through the structure to the creek bed below, distance of over seventy feet, and the accident due to the unfortunate man being at. tackled with an epileptic fit, he being subject to that affliction.
 The body was found by three hoboes who were walking along the track, and as strange as it may ap. pear. after they ascertained the man was dead neither made an ex. animation of the remains to aseer- tain if the deceased had any prop. eriy of value on his person. Later the pockets of the dead man were gone through and the sum of s30S extracted. while personal trinkets of considerable value also were found in other pockets.
 At first it was thought the man had met with foul play. but the discovery of the money in his pocket dissipa,ed that report. The hoboes were penniless and after reaching Seligman were rewarded with a hearty meal and good bed in which to sleep.

SFrom Wednesdays Daily,

Yesterdays rain storm which passed over this city was one of the most welcome in many years and caused very much rejoicing. It started at about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon and continued heavily for over an hour, Pamsctgaaf observa- tory in West Prescott recording 98-lOO of an inch. During the storm lightning struck the cour, house and telephone pole near the Sanitary Laundry. the bolt at the latter place entering the soil and causing quite an upheavai in the ground, but no damage resulted.

IMPERIAL BANKS DIS
 COUNT RATE IS LOWERED

BERLIN. Germany, July lS-The reduction of the Imperial banks discount rate of ~ per cent on June II, after it had been maintain ed unchanged a, per cent since September 10, 1911. put an end to the longest period for which the bank ever kept up so high a rate without change, Its adherence to the high rate SO long is due to the belief of the managers that the banks extend credit to manufactur- CTS and merchants far too literally SO that the whole business system of the country rests too much upon an artificially expanded basis oi credit.
 The Imperial bank, with it's 500 branches in all parts of the Empire, is the bank of bankers" in every community, hence the burden of ex- ccssivc credits falls back upon i, finally. Owing to this state of things the president has been for several years carrying on cam paign of reform in banking practice looking chiefly toward restricting credits to safe limits. Several years ago he induced eight of the leading jointstock banks of Berlin to pub fish every two months a balance sheet, SO that the business com munity may be kept fully informed as to the changes going on in the financial movement. Last winter he succeeded in having the banks adopt a much more detailed form for making their returns, and most of the larger banks of the country have now joined in publishing returns, and the Imperial bank issues reg ularly every two months a compila- ton of the balance sheets of 86 large banks.
 The president has, at various times during the present period of dear money, warned the banks ond the business interests of the country to take in sail, and this year his warm ings have become more frequent and more earnest than ever. On the day of the rate reduction he plainly told the committee of Berlin bank CTS composing the Imperial banks central committee that the banks would have to continue to restrict credits, as otherwise the lower dis count rate would be of but short duration.

RUTH MINE STILL
 IN SHIPPING COLUMN
(From Wednesday 's Daiiy)

J. R. Slack yesterday superintend- ed the loading of the tenth carload of ore at the railroad depot from the Ruth mine on Indian creek, which he and J. l. Gardner have been operating under bond and lease. The loading of the eleventh car will begin today, and SO far as the tonnage on the dump is to be considered another car is ready for shipment. Transportation facili- ties are the only drawback, the teams hauling six miles from the camp to this city. and but light loads can be handled. In speaking of the output of this new lead, zinc and silver property. Mir. Slack IS sanguinc of the making of a heavy and profitable producer, basing this belief on the tonnage in sight and the strong vein that is in evi- dence at the deepest workings, i5O feet from the surface.
 Drifting is going ahead from that point. and later sinking will be re- sumed. The Ruth is owned by Mrs. J. (. Herndon. but laid dormant for many years until the above operators assumed charge. IL is now attracting much attention in mining circles, and the deeper the shaft goes the better the property Is reported to look.
