Prescott, Ariz. From Ehrenberg

from California, for a few days dug
around in the ruins OF the deserted
camp Of La Paz and who left with
100000 found under a floor Of sa-
loon OF the olden days, conducted by
a Portuguese. Francisco Rabana.
OF the digging there seems no

rumor OF treasure found. There have
been many such explorations in the
past OF ruins of the old camp, where
millions of dollars worth OF gold dust
was handled about sixty years ago.

Atlantic City.

Atlantic City. n. J.-Tons OF crabs
that appear to be drunk are being
caught in the Thoroughfare without
the use of bait. The crustaceans cling
to pting and bridge supports. just as
'rounder" clings TO lamppost. All
that the fishermen have 20 do is to run
their nets up and down and land them
by the dozens.
The crabs when placed on the piers
move about with the irregularity of a
person staggering from liquor.
Anglers say chemicals placed in the
water of the creeks TO kill mosquitoes
are probably responsible for the queer
antics.

"DAMON AND PYTHIAS"
"A DRAMA OF THRILLS

"Damon and Pythias," the great
drama of thrills, will be offered for
two nights only, Thursday and Fri
day, April and 3, at the Holt op.
era house, by the local lodge of
Knights of Pythias. An infinite
amount of preparation is necessary
for a production of this nature, and
for the past six weeks those who are
in the cast have been rehearsing their
various roles, until now, within a
few days of the presentation, per-
fection is being rapidly attained and
most excellent performance is
promised.
Not only has much scenic effort
been put forth along the line of re-
hearsals, but a special scenic artist
has been at work for some time paint
ing new and elaborate scenery, and a
stage mechanic, skilled in his voca-
ton, is now busy constructing prop
critics and settings to aid in making
things beautiful and pleasing to the
eye, so the play may have the proper
setting.
Members of the lodge are busy dis
posing of tickets for the two per.
formances, which tickets can be ex-
changed at Dunaway's Drug Store
on Monday, March 80 at 8 a. m. for
reserved seats. The rush for seats
for these performances promises to
eclipse anything heretofore produced
in Ell Centre, so it will be well to
get in line early and get good seats,

LADYBIRD SUPPLY
NEARLY EXHAUSTED

Superintendent Harry Smith of the
California State Insectary has writ
ten Horticultural Commissioner F. b.
Waite that the supply of ladybirds
will be limited from this time on.
700 colonies having been shipped to
Imperial valley this season. Each
colony consists of $4,000 ladybirds.
They have been used chiefly for de-
stroying aphis on barley, but COM
plants have come to the commission
er's office regarding infection of the
cantaloupe fields.
Wr. Waite stated this morning that
the ladybirds are extremely prolific
and will increase within the next
thirty days thirty fold, and conse-
quently the cantaloupe growers would
be relieved. Numerous complaints
have been received from growers of
cantaloupes, but it is not expected
that grave damage will result, as the
plants have reached stage of growta
at this time which will have ten
dency to check the ravages of the
aphis.

Waite, the present incumbent, an
nounces a warning to the farmers of
the valley against the yellow sweet
clover, commonly called "sour clo-
ver."

the water companies and farmers to
the fact that in many places, on ditch

as we'll as of others. BY each one
doing their part, good results viii
follow. The water companies have
much to do, as well as the farmers,

made available the bureau can extract
from ores already belonging to the
government a quantity Of radium
that, placed at the disposal of the
public health service, at its various
hospitals, situated in twenty or more
of our larger cities, will serve in part
to meet the needs of the various cam
Ger hospitals of the country"
Taking up the question of preven-
tion of waste, the director states the
bureau in the year saved natural gas
worth more than $4,000, 900 in Okla
homa alone, this being more than six
times the cost of the bureau Of
mines from it's establishment.
The waste of natural gas which
still continues in Oklahoma is equiv
alent to S15,OO0.000 to 100000
year and in all the fields of the coun-
try to more than S50,OOO,00O a year.
Of the total waste, Mr.. Holmes states,
80 per cent is easily preventable. He
comments:
"a few years of further delay and
this valuable source of national
wealth will have been wasted-per-
manently lost"
The unnecessary waste of coal in
mining and handling he estimates at
250,000,000 tons year. With an in
vestigation to- cost $4,000 he be-
/ lieves he can save 50,000,000 tons
wear to the nation. He estimates
the total mineral waste at not less
han million dollars day.
/ Mr.. Holmes goes with great de-
tail into the work being done to make
mines and smelters safe. The 10000
men killed in United States mines in
\ the last ten years mean a loss of
$100,000,000 in national productive
ness, he declares. And for every fa-
tai accident there are at least three
to five non-fatal accidents, and IL
lesser accidents which incapacitatc
| for one or more days.
! There are 100000 persons work
inng in underground mines in the
United States and altogether 2,30O,-
600 men employed in the mining in
.dustry. If congress should give him
Eall appropriations asked, this togeth-
er with all existing general appropria-
tions for the work of the bureau
would mean an average of AZ cents
per employee or one cent per capita
from the people of the United States.
Each of these employees adds yearly
to our national wealth $4,000
With this he contrasts the $2.40 per
employee or about 80 cents per capita
from the total population of the coun-
try which is now being devoted to
the agricultural class through the de-
partment of agriculture. The agri-
cultural employe contributes, he says.
about $500 yearly to the national
wealth.
Every day of mining involves 10
deaths and nearly so serious injuries
among the underground laborers.

In England's Affairs
Over Irish Home Rule

"The soldiers trade is hard, and the
man who is engaged in it dare not

brother if he finds him in the enemy's
camp"
The Post also rejoices over what i:
considers a fiasco of parliamentary
government, for which the German
liberals and radicals are clamoring. l:
says:
"In the twentieth century we con-
template the spectacle of the inabil
ity of another parliament either t..
prevent civil war or even to enforce
its expressed wishes"
The Berliner Tageblatt (radical)
says:
"The English liberals are defeated
Home rule will not be enforced unit!
the people of Great Britain hav
voted on it at general election. The
aristocracy has overcome the democ
racy.
"Despite all the formidable efforts
in recent times to guarantee the para
mountcy of the peoples will, the Brit
ish forget that in the last analysis il
had to reckon with the aristocrati
army.
"The result of the new election is
doubtful. 1t may come to pass that
unrighteousness will triumph, because
we now see circumstances may arise
