Looking at the situation from a purely selfish standpoint Of the United States there is opportunity for optimism. While there may be strained relationships and difficult in- dustri8l problems of the time being. the close Of the war will present the United States an opportunity for un- exampied prosperity and great indus trial activity" continued Mir Harding for this country will have the food. stuffs for sale and it will have the manufacturing plants, fully manned and ready to serve the markets of the world And the worst effects of the European war will bring the greater dependence upon the capabilities of the United States to serve.

C0NCENTRATOR WORTH $1OO,OOO STRUCK BY
 BOLTjIS DESTROYED
A Valuable Plant at Patagonia
 That Had Not Been Used for Several Years Is Lightning'S
 Toll in the Recent Storm

The concentrator at the old Mowry mine, near Patagonia, containing ma chinery valued at about $10O,OO0, was destroyed by lightning. It was first thought the building was destroyed by fire of probably incendiary origin, but now it is believed lightning was the cause of the fire.
 The concentrator had not been used for six or seven years, or since the old Mowry property was operated last It was one of the finest plants in the country and when in operation successfully treated the lead-silver ores from this mine The smelter near the concentration also caught on fire, but very little damage was done. fin the building struck by lightning were several WilAey tables and other valuable concentrating machinery which were totally destroyed. The loss is in the neighborhood of S1OO.. 900.

 Mir Harding, who is considered an authority in the mining world, gave out the following interview with ref erence to the present depression caused by the European war:
 "Throughout the several copper pro- ducing districts of Arizona we are already beginning to feel something of the strain caused by the di ificulty of selling copper But the indi cations are that the pinch will not be as ser. ious here as 1t is in other copper pro ducins sections of the United States. where substantial curtailments and wage reductions of a greater magni- ture than this section has expert enced, have taken place.

ROSS CUNN!GK OF DOUGLAS HAS AN
 EXCITING CHASE
! Runaway Automobile Causes
 Considerable Excitement and
 Narrowly Escapes Eliminating Several Douglas Pedestrians

Chasing runaway automobile down hill was the experience yester. day morning of Ross Cunnick, the genial representative of the H. Rivera Commission house of Douglas, who is spending a few days in the city
 Mr. Cunnick after canvassing the town in the interests of his firm put up his machine in front of the Cop per Queen hotel in order to partake of his noon day meal, well knowing that the automobile brakes were firmly set.
 Upon entering the hotel Mr. Cum nick noticed several boys coming up the hill from the neighborhood of Brewery Gulch, but paid little or no attention to them. Shortly after hay ing seated himself in the dining room he noticed his machine slowly making it's way down hill, but before he reached the steps of the hotel the auto was well under way and headed for Brewery Gulch, sweeping down everything before it, including two Mexican pedestrians and an Ameff can, the latter escaping by the skin of his teeth, while the former were hurled to the ground, fortunately es- caping any injuries.
 The brakes on the machine nave been examined by several persons and the same were found to be in excel lent condition, it being impossible for them to have slipped the cogs in any way, and the conclusion is formed that the boys noticed coming up the hill by Tr. Cunnick as he was enter ing the hotel were in some manner responsible for the runaway accident.

Weaver GuICh and Rich Hill Are the Scenes of Activity in
 Last Few Days

GLOBE, ARIZ.. Sept. 9.-Arrivals from stanton report that placer coun- ty as swarming with activity. and since daily rains had fallen. there were over forty miners at work in groups of two at dozens of places. Some are banning, others had impro. yised rockers, while along Weaver gulch several are sluicing. Wherever a pool had been formed from the heavy rains, men could be seen wash. ing the gravel and the scene was a very interesting one as this summer has been the first in very many years when the ground could be worked by this method.
 The road leading out Of Congress Junction and near Stanton. seemed to be the favorite locality. and one of the advantages was the surface gave good returns. The summit of Rich Hill was again the point where many had gone and recov. cries of the yellow metal were re- ported as gratifying. One Mexican picked up a S55 nugget. and sev. eral hundred dollars in coarse gold was washed out from that point where in early days half a million was to its credit The fifty or more MeXicans along Weaver eulch continue to make a living by placer. ing and since the big rains have fal. len all seem to be prospering. The influx to the Stanton country is at- tributed to many miners being out of work since quartz mines had curtailed their forces.
