WATER IS A LUXURY
 IN OATMAN CAMP
(From Saturdays Daiiy.)

It's cheaper for Oatman people to hire jitney bus and drive over to Needles and take bath than to stay home and take a bath. Water is selling at 20 cents a gallon in Oat- man," said man who is just back from the camp.
 q never saw anything like it" he declared when asked about the big boom now going on i'll the Oatman gold field. Tt is well worth mans time and expense to make the trip just to get a glimpse at the camp.
 There are four newspapers in tnG camp and four banks. I was told at Kingman that there is so much freight being shipped in that the rail road company does not have sufficient sidetracks at Kingman on which to handle the cars.
 "An average of 100 people per day are coming into the camp. Sleeping accommodations arc hard to find. One man is renting a tent at $40 a month. He has eight cots ill the tent and is charging $1 per night per cot.
 Tt is very hard to locate any one. The only way to find a man is to get someone to page him about the camp just like they do in hotels. There's c certain man up there who is acting as a page and he walks up and down the strcetls calling out for different people. lie gets 25 cents for each person he pages.
 "A person has to get into line and wait his turn when he wants to cat or wants his mail"

FIND THE
 LATEST IN MINERAL
(From Saturdays Daily)


 The eagerness of miners to secure tungsten locations, has resulted in an antimony discovery being accidentally made in Battle Flat, near Turkey creek, that is occasioning consider able local interest.
 M. H. Ryan, who arrived from the new camp on Thursday, gave public ity to the matter, and displayed sam ples of huge size to substantiate the discovery of this mineral, which bears kindred relation to that of zinc and is in great demand in Eastern centers for medicinal as well as for art uses. At present tine market quotation is high, due to the supply being limited. A co-owner of Mir. Ryan is Edward Rogers of Mayer.
 The paystreak, Ryan states, is fully two feet in width, but what grade of mineral is carried will not be known until after an analysis is made. The cropping is easily traceable for over mile, and prospect holes show con tinuous mineral formation. The owners have established camp, and are developing. They will begin shipping at once, loading on the cars at Mayer. Ryan also stated yester- day, the discovery was made last month, and publicity was withheld until the condition was thoroughly prospected and the necessary loca- tions made. The only known mine in this section is carry this character of an ore is the White Spar of Hassay- ampa district, that is ready to begin operating for this character of pro- duct.

REV. READ EQUAL TO
 FACE ANY EMERGENCY
(Frcm ;>:n6ay's Daiiy.)

Rev. George Read, who is develop ing his Prietta gold mines in Thumb Butte district, is entitled to be dubbed the Sure Shot Parson," bringing into camp a few days ago a brown bear which he shot and killed after zig gag chase of over three miles.
 Fred Smith, of the Madizelle mines, stated yesterday the bear dressed l6O pounds, was about two years old and that the meat was delicious. Rev. Read stated he withheld knowledge from Prescott hunters of this bears nreanderings, and that he had been on its trail for nearly year. An effort was made to dissuade him from going into the scalp business, as his theo- logical training of early days was re- garded as somewhat at variance with handling and using a gun. But the principal to this gun play had train ing during the civil war in the ranks, and is a well known Grand Army vet eran of Barrett Post of this city. It was but natural that his old-time skill should assert itself just to keep his hand in form for pulling the trigger, and this he has done in bagging big game at an advanced age. The mate of the bear killed, is also roaming that region, and local hunters arc informed that the country is open and Rev. Read is willing to retire on his repu' tation of killing the first bear in that region since very early days.

DEAD MEN RISE AND
 BEAT THE GERMANS

PARIS, Dec. 10, Correspondence of Associated Press ).-No incident of the war has taken so strong hold on the French imagination as that of the soldier who, in the press of the fight ing, when most of his comrades lay dead around him, called upon them as the Germans repeated their at tack, Up with you, ye dead menP and with tine help of their spirits, as sisted by a few wounded, routed the foe.
 The story is told in the Echo de Paris: "The Germans had swarmed into French trench and broken down the resistance of the defenders, whose bodies covered the ground. Suddenly man rose, and, seizing sack of grenades, he shouted, 'Debout les MortsP. At this summons the wound ed in the trench staggered to their feet and drove the enemy out"
 The hero of the episode was Lieu tenant Pcricard, man of 38, "whose nair is already white" He started the campaign as sergeant, but was quickly promoted to the commission ed ranks. Pericard is man of in tense religious feeling. This is his own story, as repeated by the Echo's interviewer:
 Tine trench was full of corpses, with blood everywhere. At first l walked delicately, uneasy, l alone with all these dead. Then, little by little, I grew bolder and ventured to look at tnem.> They seemed to be watching me. From our trench be hind my men were watching me with terror in their eyes, thinking He's sure to be killed It is true that the Boches were redoubling their efforts Their grenades were pouring down and the stream of them was rapidly getting nearer. Was their sacrifice to be useless?
 q was seized with holy madness. Of what I did, of exactly what said l no longer remember. I know only that I cried out, Get up. Why won't you get up? Debout les mortsp
 Was it madness? No, because tne dead answered me, They said, We are following
 And as cried to them their souls joined my soul and made glowing mass of it, stream of fused metal. Nothing could astonish or stop me, l had the faith that moves mountains, the exultation of the worker of mira cles, who by his will causes the mira cle. My voice, which was noarse and worn out with shouting orders for two days and nights, came back to me clear and strong. II feared not.i- ing. I felt I was master of destiny.
 One of the men of my section, wounded in the arm, kept on throwing grenades that were stained with his blood. As for me, I have the impress sion of having had an increased bodily size. I was a giant with superabun- dant, limitlcss energy, all extraordi- nary ease of thought, which let me have my eyes in ten places at once, to give orders to one, to dictate ana order to another, to shoot with rifle, and at the same time to avoid a threatening grenade. It was pri- digiously intense life, with extraordi- nary circumstances. Twice we ran out of grenadcs, and twice we found at our feet sackfulls of them mixed with sandbags. All day we had gone over them without seeing them. But it was the dead who had placed them there.
 "All that night I kept the religious emotion that had seized me when I called on the dead. felt something comparable with what it felt after a fervent communion"

SPORTSMEN AND STOCK
 MEN TO JOIN FORCES

PHOENIX, Dec. II. - Arizona sportsmen are preparing to join forces with stockmen in campaign against predatory animals, and within few weeks, it is stated, definite steps will be taken toward the formation of a State game protective association The new organization will be model ed after the New Mexico Game Pro lection Association, which mas branch es in four cities of that State.
 The annual loss to livestock owners from "varmints" is estimated at $l5, 100000. The average lobo wolf, it is said, destroys $l,OOO worth of beef in year, while mountain lions, coyotes and other animals add to the damage Sportsmen, moreover, are interested in the fight against predatory animals because of the large amount of game devoured by these animals. Venison mountain lambs, turkey, lawns, duck lings, grouse, quail all are subject tc the ravages of predatory animals. In one corner of Gila national forest alone, forest officers report, seven deer were recently killed by lions. A similar condition pAevails tin other portions of the State.
 Suspect Foul Play.
 TUCSON, Dec H. That Harry Hall, who ws3 found dead a week ago on the Nogales line of the Southern Pacific was robbed and murdered IS the theory officials are now working on to explain his sudden death. Halls body was struck by train, while he was lying on the track, and it was first believed that ne had gone to sleep on the track. Later investiga' tions disclosed the fact that when he left home he had over $200 in cash, but when the body was found his purse was entirely empty. As Hall kept diary of his walking trip from California and no mention is made of hunger or attempts to obtain food, it is now believed that he met with foul play A liberal reward has been of fered by his brother for any informa' ton as to the way in which Hall was killed.

peas, oats, vetch, crimson clover ana
soy beans should constitute the princi-
pal forages used. During the fall and
winter permanent pastures can be
used. Even regular fields of winter
wheat and barley can be pastured
without injury to them.
When pasture is not available feed
hay or fodder to the flock. Keep up
the appetites of the ewes by adding
small quantities of rape, collards,
chopped cabbage, or roots along with
the hay. Do not feed roots to your
rams or wethers.
Begin feeding the ewes little grain
about two weeks before lambing and
gradually increase the amount to one
hal7' pound daily at that time. After
lambing, slowly increase the amount
to one and one-half to two pounds
daily, and continue this ration during
the sucking period. Ewes need not
be grained when dry If good pasture
is provided.
Give the ram just enough grain to
keep him in good condition. The
amount fed should be increased dur
ing the breeding season.
Teach the lambs to eat grain as
soon rs possible after birth, and con
tinually feed them what they will eat
Clearly until ready for the market
Feed them twice daily, using creeps
to keep out the ewes.
The following grain ration, general
/ ly available on the farm, is suitable
for sheep: Corn, two parts by weight;
cottUnseed meal. one part by weight
Probably August and September are
the best months for mating, as this
will bring your lambs in January and
February. Do not leave the ram with
| the ewes continually, but take the
ewes to him for a few minutes each
morning. Allow only one service to q
eve during each period of heat, but be
certain that the eve gets in lamb be
fore dropping breeding operation.
Watch the ewes carefully during the
lambing season, but do not interfere
with them unless necessary. After
lambs are born, see that they are
promptly dried and sucked. Frequent
y ewes disown their lambs unless
forced to nurse them.
Give the ewes little, If any, grain
ration for two or three days after
Landing. At the expiration of this
time it can be gradually given her
until the full ration is reached.
In small fiocks the fieeces can be
most economically removed by using
hand shears. After the sheep is shorn
remove all tags and burs from the
fleece, carefully roll It up inside out.

Most farmers have, ct some time or
another, given some thought to the
question of raising cattle and hogs.
Sheep, however, are less familiar
idea to many. Nevertheless, sheep
have an important place on southern
farms. By keeping flock OF six to
twelve ewes, the farmer can provide
himself with meat for the table, have
a few lambs for the market and Sc
cure additional revenue through the
sale of WOOL
Southern farmers who would Ike to
get a start raising sheep may obtain
interesting information from certain
bulletins which may be had free Of

Sheep for the Farm"

The firrt ewes can be native ewes,
purchased from nearby sheep owners
Go into flock and pick out vigorous
ewes with compact bodies. Get young,
healthy ewes. If you must buy old
ones, do not take those having spread,
broken or worn-off teeth Such ewes
cannot est we'll and win make no
money as breeders for their purchas-
ers.
Do not use any but good rams Of a
mutton breed upon your ewes. A
Southdown, Shropshire, Hampshire or
Dorset Horn ram will prove most de-
sirable He should be about two years
of age, healthy, and carry plenty OF
mutton. Such ram will cost, deliv-
cred, from fifteen to twenty-five dol
lars, and can be bought by half doz-
en- farmers dubbed together. He will
breed from forty to sixty ewes.
Sheep do not require closed build
ings for protection from cold, as their
fieeces do that If kept dry. A low shed
built on dry ground and opening to
the south, is sufficient. Such shed
need cost but very little, as scrEps Of
