GRIDIRON SQUAD IN
 CHILLING WORKOUT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Buckled down to business and re stricted to strict training diet and schedule of hours," the high school gridiron squad is showing some real classy form these days Pounced upon by Coaches Hart and Merritt, the artists arc grimly grit ting their teeth in preference to showing the effects of the most driving workout to which a local squad has ever been subjected. And it's going to be just one continuous pull and grind from now on until the "heat of season" when Prescott High again meets Phoenix High in what is conceded will be the pre- mier football battle of the year in this state.
 One of the principal things which prompted Merritt to remain away from his studies at the University of Arizona this year, was the ur- gent request by the local school boys that he assist in coaching their team. Last season was a disastrous one for the local high eleven, in fact the worst in the history of the institution. In three successive strug- gles the Phoenix High, rivals in past years with always a defeat to redeem, simply walked away from the Prescottonians. In fact. Pres colt failed to cross the Phoenix goal single time in all three tussles.
 The way in which both Hart and Merritt have started after the ma terial available would indicate only one purpose in mind, "a team to defeat Phoenix this year." And, judging from the way the boys are going about it, there will be such an aggregation available. In short, if the Prescott team don't triumph this year over Phoenix it can say curtains" to all future hopes.
 Merritt, when he was on the To- cal high school eleven, was con ceded one of the best players ever turned out there, and Prescott is noted for its production of foot ball stars. He is whirlwind in every department of the game and practices what he breaches. And Hart is coach who knows the game from A. to Z.
 Veteranized by a years play to- gether, the backield should show some real classy form this year. Lee Thompson and Don Bell will again be in the half-back positions with Lee Penn at full back. Dave Levy will again be seen at the pivot position, while the array of the line s still unsettled.
 Eight more days of good hard plugging practice sessions will fall O the lot of the local squad and hen days rest will follow before he first game of the season is play d a week from Saturday in this :ity with the Jerome team under the eadership of Chester Crawford

NO BIDS ARE IN FOR S25O,0OO
 BOND ISSUE
(From Wednesdav,s Dailvl

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 When the office of the board of supervisors closed yesterday after noon, not single bid had been re- ceived for the purchase of the $780, OOO bond issue voted by the tax payers of Yavapai county for the erection of a new court house. and the official time set for the opening of bids was 10 o'clock this morning
 In striking contrast to the strong competition for the S95,OOO school bond issue six months ago, which brought a handsome premium, is the showing made in the court house bond case. However, this is not due to lack of faith in the bonds, but directly to the European war which has complicated the money market so that it is impossible to sell five per cent interest bearing bonds.
 The result of this situation may be temporary delay in the erection of the new building. As a last re- sort, however, the local banks may come to the front and take the bonds so as to enable the board of supervisors to proceed with the pro- gram which calls for the selection of an architect and adoption of his plans next week.
 Award Road Contract.
 The board of supervisors has awarded the contract for the build ing of section B. of the Prescott Flagstaff highway to T. C. Snider, a Clarkdale contractor who also built section A early in the year. His bid was under $l4,OOO and about S2OOO les than the nearest bidder.
 To Make Purchase.
 The board has authorized Super of the County Hospital. Joe Bethune, to purchase a set of false teeth for Sandy Vaughn. an aged inmate of the institution.

To Make Purchase.
BOOM IN SILVER
 PREDICTED BY WALCOTT

PHOENIX Sept. 23.-''Silver will
 go to seventy cents an ounce at the end of the European war and Ari- zona will find that she has some thing in her hills besides copper"
 This confident prediction is made by E. S. Walcott, secretary of the American Mining Congress. MT.
 Walcott has opened an office in Phoenix and will remain here till after the annual convention of the congress, which is to be held here December to II.
 "I feel confident that the end of the present unpleasantncss in Eu- rope will sec great revival of silver mining in this country" continued Mir. Walcott There will be a tre- mendous demand for silver coinage Paper money is worth almost no- thing in some parts of Europe now and it will be worth less when the war is over. Gold is being hoarded and hidden and the various nations will find 1t necessary to issue silver coins in great quantities. For this reason l think that silver will go to seventy cents an ounce.
 That there are vast deposits of silver in the hills and mountains of Arizona, I feel certain. Already I have seen chunks of ore from one mine, the Monte Christo, that are over fifty per cent silver.
 There is reason to believe that gold mines arc yet to be discovered in Arizona that will rival the famous producers of Cripple Creek and Goldheld. And there are also vast treasures of zinc, vanadium and other metals.
 "Thc trouble with Arizona is that it has been looked on as a copper state exclusively. It is first in cop per production and points with par donable pride to the United Verde. Copper Queen, Old Dominion, Ray, Miami. Arizona, Shannon and many other mines. But all attention has been turned to the development of copper mines. There are only two or three producing gold mines of any consequence. Other metals are neglected almost entirely.
 One of the things that the Amer ican Mining Congress hopes to do for Arizona is to bring home a reali- zation that 1t is a gold state, a silver state and a zinc state as well as a copper state. l expect to see, after this years convention, an active Arizona chapter of the American Mining Congress. Such a chapter ,an be of untold benefit to the state"
 Mir. Walcott estimates that there will be at least l,5OO delegates at he convention. Many more were present. at last years convention, which was held at Philadelphia. but many of them were coal miners. The 'ear before. at Spokane. there were 20 registered delegates.

We have been subjected to a shower
bath Of gladness; kind thoughts are

toward the poor and forlorn, strange
" accessible to nfe's best memories,
reverent toward religious faith, and
almost willing to 60 to church. All
this may seem to our pagan mind al
foolish as a revival Of religion, some
