 No. 80, introduced by Representa- tive Merrill (Cochise), provides for the sale of Industrial school property at Benson the proceeds therefrom to be used for the benefit of the state insti- tuition. The buildings are now used by the Benson high school and that city expects to purchase the entire property although it originally gave it to the state for Industrial school purposes.

 Senate bill No. 2, introduced by Senator Drachman, provides for the procedure in street and public i'm provements in municipalities, and is to meet certain local conditions in the city of Tucson. It is necessary to re-enact long statutory provision, and the reading of the bill proved a tiresome proceeding, occupying the attention of the house during the closing hours of the morning session.
 The Financial Question.
 The status of the appropriation bill is still the ruling topic of interest in both houses.
 General appropriations must origi- nate in the house. Senator Stapley, chairman of the senate snance com mittec, says that his part of the work was finished a week ago and that he expected that the bill would put in an appearance before this time. Pend ing legislation has delayed it.
 T. T. Powers has theSbill in charge in the house and it will probably be offered early in the week. The bill carries between $l,SOO,OOO and $1,9OO,
  GOO, of which about $1, 100000 is to be raised by general taxation. There have been decided cuts in several de- partments and the committee has even attacked the salaries of a num- Der of state employees, thereby creat- ing tremendous grief and lot of Resolves" and "Whercases."

HIGH GRADE ORE
 STRUCK IN MONTE CARLO
(From Fridays Daily.)


 The Monte Carlo mines along Humbug creek, about eight miles south of Harrington, are again at tracting attention, through another strike made a short time ago by John Ravella.
 Several small sacks brought to Prescott by different parties during the week, show exceptional values in free gold, running into the hundreds of dollars to the ton. One piece in possession of Louis Bernard, a CO owner with Ravella, is fully 50 per cent gold, and is admired by mining men as a mineral freak.
 Where the new strike occurred Is on outlying locations under the own ership of Ravello and w. V. DeCamp, of Jerome The rich strike occurred in kidneys, from which several hun dred pounds have been taken and sacked. Ravella is to treat the lower grade in an arastra, and will start running in a short time.
 Mir. Bernard is quite elated over the strike, and with his partner is pre- pairing to carry out quite large line of exploration. The Monte Carlo has been prohtably operated for several months, and its owners are preparing to go ahead on a more extensive plan than heretofore.
 One of the disadvantages of the location of the Monte Carlo is that it is isolated, and no freighting in or out can be carried on except by pack ing over rugged trails.

COMMERCIAL IS LINING
 UP FOR BIG WORK
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

As mentioned some time ago in the Journal Miner that the Commercial mines of Copper Basin, as well as those at Senator, were to resume, the shipping yesterday to Skull valley by Geo. C. Ruffner, of fifty head of mules and dozen wagons is the initial move made for this purpose.
 Ruffner will establish his freighting headquarters at the Lasswell ranch, and expects to begin hauling out ores during the first week in March. Tn the meantime he will make repairs to the road owing to the damage done by recent storms. His contract calls for the delivery to the railroad of fifty tons of orc per day, which is to be shipped to Douglas smeltcrs of the Copper Queen.
 He also has the contract for haul ing Snoozer ores from the Senator group. A. B. Peach, who will prob ably be the foreman at Copper Basin, has started preliminary work to get ready for placing quite a large force of miners at work, and it is believed active operations will be under head way early next week. Major A. J. Pickrell, who will again be Tn charge of the holdings of the Commercial, is expected daily to return from Los Angeles.

PHOENIX, Feb. 25.-Thc senate marched up the hill this morning on the Kinney-Claypool bill and in the afternoon marched right down again In the initial session of the day the bill was killed, but ill the second meeting the first vote was rcconsid cred ard the measure was resurrectcd
 Altogether it was day "produc- tive of results" as publicity man would describe it. Aside from the backing and filling on the Kinney bill, other things happened, notably the introduction of a new mine tax bill, new however, only in the sense that the bill is given a different mum Der, for it in reality rc-cnact5 the present law. Its passage would be pleasing to the conservatives but like swallowing poison to the radicals.
 Senator Drachmau, who seems to be the daddy of them all when it comes to liquor bills, introduced a new one today to take the place of his measure which was put to sleep by the house. The radical and ob- jcctionablc features of the other bill arc eliminated.
 A report by the committee, which investigated Warden Sims of the state penitentiary. will be submitted tomorrow. It is understood the guardian of "our boys" will be given d clean bill of health, but whether the report will be adopted, is yet another story.

GREAT BANKS OF BERLIN
90 EXTENSIVE BUSINESS

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Oct. 5-The great banks OF
Berlin appear to have had fairly salts
factory results during the first half OF
the current year The Deutsche bank
even reports that its business was re-
markedly good, but the sources of its
earnings were partly different from those
of last year. An Essen bank attached to
the Deutsche bank, had even larger earn
ings than for the first half OF 1914.
The Berliner Handelsgesellschaft, an
other OF the big institutions OF the city,
also did comparatively well, the reduced
earnings from brokerage operations and
stock and bond flotations having been
counterbalanced by interest receipts on
loans and discounts. Good profits were
made by financing the manufacture of
war supplies. and surplus deposits could
also be put at a fair profit into the
treasury bills Of the empire The leading
director of the Dresdner bank says that
the business results of that institution
have been very good. He mentions the
fact that many foreign securities were
sold for the banks customers He men
lions Scandinavian securities as an ex-
ample. but says that still more Rumanian
bonds were sold.

TWO REPORTS CAUSED BY
SHOT FROM SINGLE GUN

Correspondence of the Associated Press }
BERLIN, Oct 5.-One of the curious
phenomena connected with the sounds
of flying bullets is the apparently double
report from the shot Of a single gun
This is observed with special frequency
by the Austrians fighting in the Alps
against the Italians. They we're disposed
to believe the second report was the
echo of the first. but the curious fact
remained that the second report was
louder than the first. Moreover. the
German soldiers fighting in Belgium,
where the land lies level as a table, Of
ten heard two reports.
The explanation now put forward is
that the dying bullet compacts the air
In front of it, and that this produces
sound waves which. when they first
strike the ear, give the effect of an
explosion. AS the small-calbre bullet
of the modern rifles flies considerably
faster than sound travels. the main re-
port arrives later. and is naturally
louder than the first.

ha suit to test the validity OF the loan
shark law passed by the last legisla-
ture has been appealed from the dis
trict court of Douglas county to the
Nebraska supreme court.
The defendant is Jules Althaus, who Is
charged with loaning without taking out
a required license with the secretary Of
state. His alleged victim was Alonzo H.
Winslow, 1907 Cass street, who he Is
ALLEGED to have charged 300 per cent
interest after taking assignment of his
salary and his pension.
Althaus charged that the act is illegal
in that it legislates by class, putting a
fine on professional lenders. similar
law passed by the 1913 legislature was
knocked out by the supreme court on
the same ground.
Thus far w. c. Frampton of Lincoln
