third times as large as was secured

in Douglas the appropriation was
even smalled than that for Tucson
The letter referred to by Senator
Ashurst was one of three sent by the
Commercial Club on September 30,
the others going to Senator Smith and
Representative Hayden. All OF these
letters set forth in detail the need of
building at this time and that such
need was constantly becoming more
and more urgent 1t showed the
growth of the district in population
and in business and the post Office
business increases in all departments.
1t further set forth the convenient
and desirable sites were scarce and
that the cost of obtaining such a site
would continually grow higher Re
plies from the other letters are exc
pected i'm the near future and mean
time the Commercial Club will advise
Messrs. Smith and Hayden of the ac.
ton of Mr. Ashurst and urge upon
them cooperation with him as well as
individual efforts on their part to Sc

YUMA, Ariz, Dec. 10.-The ole
deserted town of La Paz, at one time
the largest city in Arizona and the
county seat of Yuma county, win
again become a thriving settlement il
the plans of a placer mining company
are carried out The company, which
holds placer claims covering several
sections of land along the Colorado
river will commence operations on a
large scale shortly after the first OF
the year, and contemplates the install
lation of a $4,000 hydraulic plant
early next spring.
This is not the first time that an
effort has been made to revive the
old producing placer mines Of the La
Paz district Three years ago the
company was all ready to begin opera
tious, when the United States govern
ment extended the boundary of the
Colorado river Indian reservation so
as to include the claims. Since that
time the men behind the company
have been working to obtain an ad-
| iustment OF the boundary which
would enable them 10 go ahead and
develop their rich holdings, and their
efforts have just been rewarded. Last
week a telegram was received from
Washington advising the company
/ that it could proceed.

A large crowd assembled, by invita-

Probably the most singular, and to

connection with the story is the fate

ASHURST INTRODUCES
BILL APPROPRIATING
MONEY FOR DISTRICT
Thirty Five thousand Dollars
May Be Expended in BiSbee TO
Purchase a Site for Federal
Building in This City.

Thirty five thousand dollars for a
site for a federal building for Bisbee
is the provision of a bin Senator Ash
urst introduced i'm congress. His ac-
ton is the direct result of the presist-
ent work of Ihe Commercial Club and
its directors to secure a federal build
ing for Bisbee and the Warren Dis
trict. The amount is carries is a sim
gular recognition of the importance
of the community.
Senator Ashurst writes to Secretary
Gray from Washington under date of
December as follows: Dear Mr..
Gray: / have received yours of the
3Oth ultimo and in reply wish to adj
wise that / have, in accordance with
my pledge to Mr.. Bowen and yourself
introduced a bin providing for the
purchase OF a site at Bisbee for a
federal building, the sum provided be
ing $4,000 I shall send you a copy
of the bin and, when obtainable, the
DEPARTMENTS recommendation there
on. / shall keep this in mind and
YOU may be sure ! shall use the data
in your useful and businesslike letter
i'm aiding in the appropriation. Witt
best wishes, sincerely yours, Henri!
f. Ashurst."
In introducing this bill, Senator
Ashurst recognizes the peculiar situa
ton in Bisbee business sections which
makes it impossible to secure desir
able location az a figure that nigh
prevail in other communities OF th'
same size. For instance in Tucson
the appropriation was only $1,000
and it fell to the businessmen Of tina
city to contribute $4,000 more to Sc
cure the site that was desired. Blu

BATTLES ARE VIOLENT
ON AUSTRIAN FRONTIER
Austrians Claim to Have Gained Ad-
vantage in the Heavy Artil-
lery Duels.

. UDINE, Italy, July 6, via Paris. July
THE fighting along the Austrian
frontier continues with uninterrupted
violence. consisting chiefly of artillery
duels with heavy guns. Especially Sc
we're are the battles around the Predil
pass and Malborgeth forts. where the
Italians are attacking in an attempt
to open the way to Jarvis, which is
considered the key to the interior Of
Austria, just as the Cariso region is
the gateway to Trieste.
Attack reported Successful.
The Italian attack in the Carso re-
gion has been successful, although be-
ing carried on against a territory which
Is full of caverns. grottoes and cre-
vases.
A report telling of the capture by
the Italians of 900 prisoners in two
days on a front of five or six miles
shows, in the opinion of military men,
a considerable advance.
Airmen Win Honors.
Honors of the day. perhaps, go to the
Italian air service, because of the bonn
bardment of factory at Trieste. 1t
has been impossible to ascertain the
extent of the damage inflicted. Trieste
has the most important arms factory in
the e.Austro-Hungarian empire, employ
ing in normal times 10000 workmen.
Italian aviators have damaged the
Austrian encampment at Deberdo and
dropped bombs on the important rail-
way station at Dernburg.

Dispatches Indicating Suffer-
ing in Mexico Are Minimized
by Counter Statements.
FACTIONS EvlNCE FEAR
OF U. S. INTERVENTION
Gen. Villa Denies Interference With
Red Cross Relief supplies-His
Disclaimer Questioned.

Conflicting reports Regarding the food
supply situation in Mexico are reach
ing Washington from various sources,
according to Secretary Lansing of the
State Department. Some of these re-
ports, he said today. indicate very great
suffering. while others minimize the
amount Of relief needed there.
On the heels of the publication today
of a dispatch from Charles ]. OConnor.
director of the Pacific division of the
American Red Cross. who has gone to
Mexico City to investigate conditions.
in which Mr.. O'Connor stated that the
situation was "pitiful' and growing
worse, the Carranza agency here gave
out a statement which is fiat denial
of the stories of suffering which have
reached Washington from other sources
Probably Fear Intervention.
In some quarters the evident desire
of the Mexicans to discount reports of
famine and suffering in Mexico is TAX
en- as an effort to ward off American
intervention. 1t is thought that they
regard the efforts of the American Red
Cross to care for the suffering in Mex
leo as an entering wedge which may
be followed by American Intervention
by arms
The Villa agency issued a statement
declaring It never had interfered with
Red Cross relief supplies, but at Red
Cross headquarters it was reiterateS
that while Villa authorities had per-
mitted relief to go into Monclova they
had persistently refused relief for
Saltiilo.
Declined With Thanks
Supplies for Saltillo are being declined
with thanks" by the Villa commander. on
the ground that they are unneeded, while
the Red Cross has reports of famine
there.
A villa agency also issued this state
ment: "A report from the front. uncon-
firmed by official advices. has reached the
confidential agency to the effect that the
advancing Villa army has captured the
important stronghold of Leon, and that
the Carranzista army continues to retreat
