Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only. one way to cure deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a runbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed.
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which Is nothing but an, inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

S5,OOO READY TO HAND
 OUT TO PRESCOTT
(Fronl WednesdaY,s DaiIY.O


 According to advices received dur ing the week by the Hill Hardware Company, of this city, local agents of the Ford Motor Company, the big rebate distribution Is now on, known as the profit sharing plan, adopted last year, contingent on certain number of cars being sold up to and including August 1, 1915, and dating from August 1, 1914.
 The Ford people state that over 30O,00O autos have been sold in that time, and each buyer is entitled to a rebate of $50 per car. The local agency requests each customer en- titled to this profit sharing, to de tach the coupon from the bill oi sale, sign his name exactly as writ ten on the original bill of sale, write his address in full below the sigma ture, on the back of the coupon, and mail direct to Detroit, Michigan, with out delay.
 In the aggregate there will be dis tributcd to buyers under the provis- ions of the announcement made, $15,- 100000. Approximately 100 Ford au- tos have been sold in Prescott in the past year, which guarantees a distri- button to this community of at least $5,OOO.
 Mir. Foster, of the local house, de clared yesterday that his inability to secure at least twenty Ford autos in recent months, meant loss of cor responding sum each would have re ceived under the relating plan. How ever, the price of this car, effective from and after August ?, 1915, would be $49325 for the touring and $443.25 for the roadster auto. August Is is set as the day at Detroit, for begin ming the distribution of the millions.

the citizen using liquor for his own comfort, providing that in so doing, he committed no offense against pub lie decency by being intoxicated; and we are of the opinion that it never has been within the competency of the legislature to so restrict the lib erty of the citizen, and certainly not since the adoption of the constitution. The Bill of Rights, which declares that among the inalienable rights pos sessed by the citizens is that of seek ing and pursuing their safety and happiness, and that the absolute and arbitrary power over the lives, lib erty and property of free men exists nowhere in a republic even in the largest majority, would be an empty sound if the legislature could pro hibit the citizen the right of owning or drinking liquor, when in so do ing he did not offend the laws of decency by being intoxicated in pub lie
 Therefore the question of what a man will drink or eat, or own, pro vided the rights of others are not in vaded, is one which addresses itself alone to the will Of the citizen. It is not within the competency of gov ernment to invade the privacy of a citizens rights and to regulate his conduct in matters in which he alone is concerned, or to prohibit him any liberty, the exercise of which will not directly injure society,"

FORTUNE SMILES ON
 PRESCOTT LAWYER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Prescott is on the eve of a boom, with a real mine within its confines. The incorporation papers of the Az, tee Copper Syndicate, limited, are now in course of preparation, with Attorney LeRoy Anderson holding the treasury stock, and no shares for sale.
 The sudden transition of this strug- gling lawyer from hitting the high places to make both ends meet, into d sphere of renowned rating in the filthy lucre comes from a discovery he made yesterday at his hacienda in Murphy addition, when he exca- vated from a depth of about five feet the skeleton of an Aztec, who set the pace and gave the cue for riches galore.
 This prehistoric being is of fine form, with head to indicate he was a mining engineer who was on to his JOD. HIS JdNDOI NdS Ol dDllOl lll- size. and is strikingly reflective of his profession, being a mass of sul- phate of copper, as if it had sub mitted to the modern method of cleo trolytic treatment. This metaliferous condition has somewhat excited the local lawyer, and his belief in red metal deposit being in existence was further intensified when a big olla, stone hammer and other primitive implements were also dug up in later prospecting the formation.
 He says he will sink the main shaft 10 depth, and crosscut under the house if necessary.
 No it is not an Aztec burial crypt, but a well defined mineral field, and the indications are incontrovertibIc of copper being evident, and I pro pose to be guided hcnceforth by the scriptures in "seek and ye shall find, :" he informed friends yesterday.

ferred would offer solution of all difficulties.
 Under this, four propositions would be submitted, as follows: Absolute prohibition, with liquors shut out completely, even for per sonal use, but admitted for sacra- mental and mechanical purposes.
 Hotel and Cafe Licenses: These would permit the sale of liquor by hotels, restaurants and cafes without bars, screens of perpendicular drink ing.
 Merchant Licenses: These would permit grocers and druggists who have been in business two years or more, to sell liquor in original pack ages not to be consumed on the premises.
 It seems to me that a ballot drawn along these lines would enable the will of the people to be made known without any chance of misconstruc- ton.
 Either the hotel and cafe license or the merchant license would, in the eyes of some, melt the main ob- jections to the saloon It is possible that others will prefer a return to the saloon, while still others may want absolute prohibition.
 The important thing to be remem- bered, though, is that this ballot will enable all to show exactly what they wish and there will be no element of doubt in the construction of the yer dict given at the polls.
 Very truly yours,

FABULOUSLY RICH ORE
 FROM THE LITTLE DAISY
(From Tmrsdayis Daiiy.)

(From ThHrsday's Daiiy)
 Well authenticated reports are in circulation that the United Verde Ex- tension has made a shipment of one car of Little Daisy copper ore to Douglas that reached the astounding value of oyer $S.OOO, the shipment consisting of fifty tons, averaging 56 per cent to the ton.
 It is presumed this product came from the 1,2OO-foot level, from which zone the company had been making frequent shipments in recent months to the old United Verde shelter, and which it was admitted by the management, ran to as high as 43 per cent.
 Another remarkable situation is in evidence at the Daisy in recent ore production, by the heavy yield ac- cumulating on the dump and which ranges 10 l6 per cent grade. This class of ore is regarded as low, and will not be shipped until the tramway service is completed to permit of ex- peditinS transportation facilities.
 The Douglas shipment is of extra ordinary consideration, and is with out a counterpart in copper mining history in this or any other state, for the high grade values given for the tonnage represented. What this marvel is facing for the fu- ture, remains for those who are in charge to accurately judge, but it is admitted, however, they are firmly convinced that a bonanza is prac- tically demonstrated. the parallel of which as yet has not been deter mined in Arizona or any other cop per field. A car of gold carrying S8OO0 of value would occasion in his era of mining nationwide com nent, but for car of the red metal 70 give such handsome return in a ike sum, Is bewildering to even the most optimistic to comprehend. It s also reported the company will continue shipping, but no ore of less han a 40 per cent grade will be handled.

GIGANTIC COPPER MINING
 DEAL IS CLOSED
(From Wednesdays Daiiy.)

NA 4ollA " NAAiNSNANf AHIJI
 One of the biggest copper mining deals ever consummated in the South west was that of recent date, where by the vast holdings of the Planet Company, in Western Arizona, passed into new hands, said to be wealthy mining men of Globe, this state.
 The seller is D. s. Jones, who stated recently, that after he com pletes a contract of delivering COCO tons of ore to Douglas smelter, the property will pass from his owner ship. The Planet is noted for its mineral rating, its vast domain cover ing over 100 full sized claims. It was originally worked over a third of century ago, and a primitive smelling plant was packed on burros from Ehrenberg, on the Colorado river, before the railroad entered Ari- zona. It is rated as harboring the greatest bodies of copper ores known in the nation, and in addition to de velopment given, miles of the noun tain range have been prospected at hundreds of points, all showing at tractive conditions in the red metal. Nothing is given out as to the con sideration, but it Is admitted that a vast sum is involved The Planet is in the Swansea field, the latter ad- joining on the east.

ARIZONA SAFETY MINE
 TEAM TO COAST
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Mine owners and miners through out Arizona will be interested to learn that at Bisbee on September C., the Southwest Mine Safety Associa- ton will hold a meeting, when the championship first aid team of this state will be picked, and arrange mepts made to send this body to San Francisco.
 This information was learned yes terday from the offices in this city of the Arizona Chapter of the Am erican Mining Congress. This event is attracting keen interest, as the rescue service is now in excellent working order, and is credited with reducing mortality among mine work CTS to such an extent that last years losses were negligible, being far be- low that in percentage of any year known.
 At San Francisco on September g. 24, the third national safety meet takes place. under the direction of the Bureau of Mines, the American Mine Safety Association, and the CalifOr- nia Metal Producers Association. There will be scores of teams en- tered from all eastern and western mining fields, and the demonstration of safety methods to prevent loss of life in mines will attract thousands to witness practical methods in hands of experts.
 Southern Arizona copper mines have several teams, and there is con siderable individual rivalry to seek recognition.

ASSESSMENTS ON SHEEP

lErom Thursday,s bailyO

(FrOm Thursdays Dally)
 The State Tax Commission. meet ing as the State Board of Equaliza- ton. last week used the axe on Yava- pal county assessments and also made additions, the latter out-balanc- ing the former with the result that the net taxable property of the coun- ty has been increased $29,Sl007. The reductions total up to S94, ,4O9.93, while the additions come to SPA 22O.
 For the third time in three years the equalization board has asked the county Board of Supervisors to make a levy to create a redemption fund for the Yavapai county railroad bonds. They ask that levy of $.0S17 be made on each $1OO, also levy of $0355 for interest on the Yavapai county bonds Twice before the mat ter has come up and each time the board has refused to make the levy. The question has not yet been de- cided by the board, but it is predict ed that they will take the same ac- tion as that taken on previous oc- casions. This action is almost cer- tain because the payment of the bonds is fully provided for by the enabling act, in which 100000 acres of State lands are to be sold to pay for the bonds.
 The total tax levy as fixed by the State Board of Equalization for the year 1915 for State purposes is 54 cents on each $1OO valuation. In comparison with last years rate, which was AZ cents, it is 91l cents higher. If the levy to form a re- demption fund for the bonds is made by the Board of Supervisors it will be additional to the 54 cents per hun dred levy.
 The only raise in property which had already been assessed by the To- cal assessor was that on sheep. It was ordered that raise of 50 cents per head on 112,310 sheep be made, making a total increase on that branch of stock raising in this coun- ty of $56,156.
 The rest of the large increase in the assessment roll was made by the addition to the taxation list of large land holdings of the Santa Fe Pa cific Railroad Company, which here tofore have never been assessed. The addition of these lands added $6S,- O64.
 The reductions were made on Yer de valley orchard lands and Santa Fe Pacific grant lands. The board ordered a reduction on thirty-fivs acres of orchard land belonging to the Verde Fruit Company, from $450 to $500 per acre, making a reduc- ton of $5,20O. The value of ninety and forty-two-one hundredths acres of orchard land belonging to the Up per Verde Farm & Orchard Com pany was reduced from $4O0 to $275 per acre, making reduction of $l1,- 3O2.5O.
 The assessment on 12,366 and 21-100 acres of grant lands of the railroad company was reduced from $47397454 to $395,937. 10, making total reduction of $77,857.43.

LOOP ROAD MAY BE
 SCENE OF TRAGEDY
(From Wednesdays DaiTy.)

(frOm WeQneSQay Ddlly.)
 Eight miles south of Jerome June ton, it has developed, is the scene of a suspected tragedy where brand new Panama hat was found with a bullet hole through the crown by J. J. Birdno, of the United States land office at Phoenix. In Sunday morn ing's edition, through a mistake in Phoenix, it was stated that the hat was found below Congress June ton. This it appears is not so, as the sheriffs office has received let ter from Sheriff Jeff Adams of Mari copa county declaring that. it was Jerome Junction.
 No action in the matter as yet has been taken by the local office, as they are waiting for more definite information as to the exact locality in which the hat was found. It was expected that this information would be received yesterday. As soon as it arrives from the South a couple of men will be sent out to investigate.
 The supposition at the sheriff's of flee is that had tragedy actually occurred the hat would have borne blood stains besides the bullet holes.
