CONDITIONS IN coCHisE GOOD

In spite O1 the depressed mln- ing conditions in Sonora, cOndi-
 tions in CochiSe county are very
 good, according to w. E. Bar
 ness, travelling freight and pas
 senger agent of the Southern
 Pacific, who returned Sunday
 morning from a trip in the
 course of which he visited Ben
 son, Dragcon, Cochise, Wilcox,
 Bowie, Pearce, Douglas and
 Bisbee.
 That the mining industry should be depressed is easily cOmprehended since the mines must depend largely upon Flu
 rope for market for their pro- ducts and for vast amount of supplies used in mining, such as cyanide, zinc, dust, pebbles and steel for tools. However, Cochise county is we'll fortified to stand the present strain, aside from mining, and the general conditions in that important sec tion of the state are very grati- flying.
 The cattle ranges are in an C-AOL lOl olidIy SoOd COhuIOlOIs on account of the favorable weather conditions which have prevailed. The cattle are sleek and healthy and are putting on flesh at an amazing rate. There is an unusual number of buyers looking over the field, but the cattlemen are in no hurry to sell as they are confident of higher prices at the fall round up; higher in fact than ever before.
 Another redeeming feature, which reflects credit on the agricultural department of the University of Arizona, is abund- ant crops of corn, milo. maize, sorghum, beans, barley, hay, garden trucks and fruits, which will reward the farmers of Sul- phur Spring valley. At Benson, Cochise and Pearce, the farmers complain that the yield~of water melons are so great that they could not find a market for the surplus.
 Conditions at Benson and Pearce are especially good. At Benson, there is noticeab ble con activity and inquiries for land in that district are com ing in. The recently organiz- ed Publicity and Prosperity league is getting into harness, and is formulating plans for many civic improvements. There is talk of a new bank and company. new garage has been built, an auto mobile agency established, The Arizona Earth Products com pany, owning the rich deposit of fullers' earth and other mineral deposit near Benson, have in stalled machinery for the manu- facture of variety of metal and cleaning com pounds composed of Benson pro- ducts. Their goods are meeting with ready sale. They have put Cn the market giant clean ser called O Mi-O and a metal and silver polish called Radiolo. A Pacific coast jobber has re- gently placed an order for a car load of these goods.
 Pearce is busy aud happy, the Commonwealth mine which | at the outbreak or the European i war was forced to suspend on account of increased strength | of the silver market, has resum 3 d operations. This was brought about by curtailment of silver production due to the sus- pension of copper mining, | copper ores carrying more or ess silver, and also as the result | of the recent heavy purchases of silver by the United States. - Citizen.

PARIS. Sept. II.

PARIS, Sept. II.
That the Germans have been compelled
to raise the siege Of Verdun was con-
sidered certain here today, when official
announcement was received from Bor-
deaux that the Crown Princes army had
again been forced to give ground before
the combined French central armies.
The German centre has been showed
north and east of Narennes, and 1t Is
stated at General Gallienis headquarters
that the lattle line of the army of the
Kaiser's heir is now rapidly encroach-
ing on his headquarters at Montfaucon.
It is expected that he will now be
compelled to move his headquarters to
the Meuse River on the direct line to the
Stenay gap.
AT all other points o9 the line 1t is
stated the forces of the allies are holding
fast, although it Is admitted that the
Germans have now been heavily rein
forced and are making a determined
stand.

TROOPS CALLED
TO QUELL WAR
SPIRIT IN ITALY
People Clamor for Abandon
ment of Triple Alliance
and Cabinet Is Divided On
Neutrality.
ROME, Sept. II,

RUNE, Sept. II,
Strong forces of troops are held in
reserve, not alone in Rome, but in nearly
al of the larger Italian cities, to quell
spreading anti-neutrality demonstrations.
There seems to be general concerted
movement, the source of which remains
hidden. to force the hand Of the Govern
ment, make 1t repudIate its Triple AL
lance treaty obligations and amalgamate
with the allies against Germany and
Austria.
The Government. up to the present, has
refused to be impressed with the agita-
ton. and has constantly insisted that the
original proclamation of neutrality is to
be rigidly adhered to. However, there
are extremely strong rumors that changes
in the cabinet are impending, and II they
come 1t is expected the Government will
be forced to take definite action.
A number of newspapers today print
stories declaring the italian military at
tache at Berlin has left there after
vigorously objecting 10 severe criticism of
Italy's attitude by high court officials.
None OF these stories is confirmed by the
Foreign Office
Marquis Dl San Giuliano, the italian
Foreign Minister, has rendered his resig-
nation. but 1t has not yet been accepted.
He is one of a very small group OF
Italian statesmen who believe that Italy
is morally bound to support the Triple
Alliance.
It is sifinihcant to note that a feeling
OF hostility has sprung up against the
foreign minister. This is said 10 be
shared even by other members OF the
Cabinet. Should the foreign minister
withdraw his duties would devolve upon
Premier salandro. who is looked upon as
being in favor OF "a government policy
which would be more popular"
Baron Macchio. the Austrian Ambassa-
dor. and II, De Flotow. the German Am
bassador have exhausted their diplo-
matte resources TO force Italy to declare
herself openly in favor of Austria and
Germany.
