POTASH FOUND
 NEAR EUREKA SPRINGS

For several months many nave been coming to our city and making this headquarters while they have been prospecting for salt peter and potash eight miles south. At last much in terest has been manifested and it is m assured fact that potash and salt peter has Ibecm discovered in and about Rock House, which is about eight miles from Eureka Springs.
 Within the last few days Armours of the great packing house and ferti- lizer companies, have obtained lease on the 12OOO acres belonging to the GrangerKelly Lumber Company, and 5000 acres near by; in addition to his parties from Fayetteville have been prospecting and taking leases for some time and at present arc very active. There are now many at work prospecting for concern from Tulsa, Okla, they having been the first on the ground, and have many acres leased.
 Armours are going at the matter i'll earnest and have built many houses for their men who are 10 do the work. r. NJ. Hancock, of this city, has been hired as foreman, and today will be- gin active work with large force ot men. The head men go ill and out of our city to the field in their automo- piles they have brought with them.
 It is a hard task to obtain any leases at this time on account of the excitement and leases arc selling for q good price.
 Potash is mostly found in Germany and is used in powder and fertilizer and the war has made it almost i'm possible to be obtained. It is selling now in this country at $450 per ton, and the big fertilizer people like Ar mours, Swift, Morris, etc, are having hard time to obtain any, and are very much clated at the present pros pect and ArmourS have already cX- pended about the sum of $l000O in leases and equipment, and it is plain ly to be seen by any one that they mean business and nave what they consider a very good thing.-Eureka Springs (Ark.0 Flashlight,

(From Fridav's DailY.l

William Linden, owner of the Vera gold mines of Groom Creek district. made announcement yesterday of the closing of deal by which a Mara thon mill of so tons daily capacity will be installed at once, as well is it probable that future production from his Admiral copper group will be treated by the same plant.
 In speaking of the development giv- cn the Vera in recent years, he stated the tunnel, three shafts and all levels carried strong orc bodies of free milling grade, and tonnage measure mcnts showed a six months mill run assured. He will place a force of miners at work in a short time, under arrangements closed by which an Eastern investor is to become inter ested. Work will continue on the Admiral, from the dump of which carload of good grade of copper ore IS to be shipped south as soon as wagon roads are opened to freighting

MUCH ACTIVITY AT
 BIG LEDGE HOLDINGS
(From Sundays Daily.)

K. Robinson, one of the best known miners of this county, who is in the city for a few days, coming from the Big Ledge camp east of Humboldt, states two core drills arc exploring, the main working shaft is getting to depth, and there is every indication ot a good copper property being the out come.
 Since certain determinations have been made in the initial drilling, the big dyke that cuts through the coun' try is 10 be prospccted, and before practical work starts several months will be occupied in carrying out tAis special line of work to ascertain actual conditions underground. "As far as this exploration has progressed, [ can say unrcscrvedly. and many miners familiar with results accomplished to date will bear me out, that the Dig Ledge holdings at that point show re suits that are highly satisfactory, he informed friends yesterday.

WHITE PICACHO
 SWINGS INTO ACTIVITY
(From Saturdays Daily)


 C. D. Rogers of San Francisco, V. Messenger of Phoenix and others have former a close association, and will begin operating in white Picacho district in the southern part of this county at once, taking over a group of gold, silver and copper mines, on which limited development has been performed with attractive results giv- en. MT. Rogers has been frequent visitor to Prescott in recent years, as travelling accountant of the Transcon- tinental Freight Bureau. In speaking yesterday of the new movement for this oldtime district, he said: "Loca- tions made recently present miner alogical features that are unquestion- ably inviting, and backed up by as says, we have concluded to organize to establish a permanent camp and start operating. That zone of White Picacho we have entered, is isolated from old camps, and our engineer, af- ter an examination, has advised work to start forthwith. The field, accord ingly, is virgin. The reason that par ticular locality has been overlooked for so many years, is due primarily to attention given to the placer belt and some free gold mines in another sec ton, distant some miles from our holdings. This movement nas been under consideration for some months, and is now crystalized."
 Mir. Rogers also stated the shipping point for the mines will be Beardsley, on the s. F., P. & P, the camp being inaccessible from any other direction

 ENTITLED TO CHIEFS JOB
(From Saturdays Dailyl

NfrOm SdluIudy Ddlly)
 Affirming the decision given by Judge Smith in the Superior court last Spring, the Supreme court last Thursday rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the Frank II. Heis- Ter vs. Robert Robbins suit Attorney E. s. Clark, counsel with R. E. Morri- son, for the plaintiff, received word of the Supreme courts decision yes tcrday. Norris & Mitchell represent ed the defendant.
 The suit was brought about by the passing by the city council of an or dinance making the offices of city re- cordcr, clerk, tax collector and chief of police appointive. Heislcr was elected for term of one year at the 1913 election and his term expired with the closing of the year of 1914, The city council after the first of the year appointed Robbins to the posi- ton Of chief. Heislcr held that the council had no right to pass such leg islation, and as result he asked for a writ of quo warranto in the Superior court. Hcisler also claimed that the office was legally his because his sue ccssor had not been elected. The writ was granted by Judge Smith and 1 Do1, ~DiteI fn and show hV what authority he held ais office. The jurist decided that under the city charter the council had the right to make the change in the man ner of selection of chief of police, and the higher court sustained lis inter pretation of the law.

same time every new member of the permanent police department is tn dergoing a course in training that will make him the equal of the regu lar army private so far as physical competency and tactical instructions are concerned. In the auxiliary army every employe of the city is poten- tial policeman. Even the services oi the women workers will not be over looked, for it is intended that they shall be enlisted to serve as nurses and, with the men, will receive in structions in how to administer first aid. At the present time the police department has we'll under way sys tenn of signaling by which every DO lice station in the city may at all times be in communication with DO lice headquarters. Should earthquake flood or any other calamity result in the total destruction of the city, telephone, telegraph and other means of communication, the police "wig wag" squad would be able to keep every policeman in direct communica' ton with headquarters.

 The first radium sanitarium in the United States has been opened in this city for the reception of cases of can cer and other diseases treated by the use of the element for which the sani, tarium is named. It will be conduct cd along lines similar to those fol lowed by the Radium Institute of London, and while it will have many of the features for which the London institution is noted, there will also be in addition some that are distinctly American. Three hundred milligrams of radium valued at $36,0O0 have al ready been delivered, and contracts for $1300O0 worth more have been signed. The institution is supported
 
 by philanthropists, and its object is not only to fight malignant disease but also to carry on research work with the X-ray and ill surgery, as well as in the use of radium. The staff of the institution is composed of well-known specialists, but any phy- sician in good standing is to be per mitted to bring his patients to the sanitarium for treatment. If prelim- mary surgical work is decided upon, the surgeon having the case may per form the operation, and the sanitarl- um staff will attend to the radiun treatment which is to follow. Several patients have already been received and others are on the way. The in stitution will be open to rich and poor alike, to those able to pay and to those without money, and 1t will have the first radium dispensary ln New York.

DANGEROUS FEAT
 TO GET THE MOVIES
(From Saturdays Daily)

(from Saturday Dally)
 C. s. Russell, A. J. Tadje and L. w. Clemens arrived in Prescott yesterday morning from the Grand Canyon, af- ter a thrilling experience beginning in October, 1914, and ending only few days ago.
 Mir. Clemens was directly interest ed in the hazardous undertaking, be- ing the owner of d motion picture business ill Salt Lake City, with branch houses in other places. MT. Russell prevailed on the party to come to Prescott, being brother ot Attorney J. l. Russell. MT. Tadje has been on the canvass heretofore in many vivid plays, and incidentally his education is now completed after his debut into the chasms of the great natural creation. Mr. Russell was se- lcctcd for this camera stunt through his former trips in prospecting for mineral. He said yesterday in re- viewing the hazardous journey:
 "We travelled by river AS miles, sc curing films Of about 4,000 feet, and stationary pictures to the number ol 300. We started at Green River, Utah, on October s, 1914, and wound up at Bass Crossing below Fl Tovar on December 2, 1915. It was a year of frightful as we'll as vivid doings from beginning to end, and we lost our boats and camera outfits as well as many feet of films on different oc- casions. One excellent motion pic ture was taken when our boat got mixed up in the rapids with two men aboard, and when being swampcd the camera caught us in fine shape. For the entire AS miles it was q success sion of genuine thrills, and nothing whatever of frame-up, the uncX- pected taking place through natural obstacles unknown to any Of us. Inc business was hazardous, although the trip will prove successful as well will the lesson 1t teaches through the camera be instructive. l am through with the motion picture business via the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.

BIGGEST STRIKE EVER
 MADE IN YAVAPAI
(From Saturdays Daily.O

1 (From Saturdays Daily)
 The Major. Mining and Milling Company has solved development proposition which gives its holdings at Walker that magnitude as to be chased as colossal.
 Briefly stated it is the determining of an eight-foot ore body Thursday night, in tapping what is believed to be the mother lode by a crosscut driv- en north from the lower level of the Eureka. This crosscut had been un- der headway since October, and at a point 72 feet distant, the two walls of the old Sheldon claim, were exposed, and the future of that property is now incontrovertibly proven. Colonel Fred Bowler, general manager, arrived from tine camp late yesterday, and confirmed the strike, concerning which f1e said:
 "The mother iode has been tapped, and there is no question now over the future of the Major. One may be accurately guided in forming an opin- ion of its future by an inspection Of underground conditions, and the prop erty is open for this purpose. The crosscut was driven from the 340foot level north, and from the beginning the objective point was the Sheldon lode, which is we'll defined i'll old workings at the original point of de velopment over a third of a century ago. To summarize the development, wish to state that the old and yet the new ore body determined con clusively proves that the mother lode of the belt is tapped for distance of over 3,l00 feet, and for a depth of fully 251 feet by accurate measure ments. The immense tonnage avail able can accordingly be inferred. While it is true the Eureka claim was the base of this exploration, future operations will be centered to the Sheldon, however. Alter the walls were exposed, drifting started, and the first round of holes knocked down 30 tons of a fine grade of gold ore, the values being perfectly satisfactory and somewhat of surprise. While it is generally known the Eureka en- joys a splendid name from its past years of heavy production, its veins however, are small but of exceptional richness. The key to the Major hold ings, however, has been solved, and without another foot of sinking, stop ing ground is ahead for quarter of century. It was the possibility of making this vital determination which prompted me several months ago to enter into negotiations for acquiring an interest in the Major, and since my incumbency of the general man ager's office, to drive this crosscut has been my aim, and development of the Eureka has been of a secondary con sideration, although this claim is at tractive. There has been nothing theoretical to support this new de velopment. Early day operations showed on the surface an unmistak- able naturalization. and all that was required was practical effort to con meet up at depth what was plainly in evidence in the markings which na- turc gave as q guide. This has been realized, and for my company, l am decidedly pleased, although not sur prised"

DRY LAW BRINGS
 UP ANOTHER PROBLEM
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Another problem to decide relative to the prohibition amendment was presented to Justice of the Peace Me Lane yesterday by Attorney R. E. Morrison, acting as attorney for the defendant in the case of Mo Yen, 9 Chinaman charged with bootlegging.
 According to Attorney Morrison's interpretation of the testimony pre- sented at the nearing yesterday Yen merely acted as the agent of the buy CT and therefore is not guilty of any violation of the "dry" law. The Chinaman's attorney declared that the amendment specifically defines that if any man acts as agent for the seller or disposer he is guilty as well as the man who is getting the whiskcy or other alcoholic liquor and that if he is agent for the buyer he is no more guilty than the man who purchases the booze.
 hOlllSOI III IJl llo dA 5d ment cited a number of authorities and asked that the case be dismissed on the grounds that Yen was agent for the purchaser. Deputy County Attorney Morgan, who acted as prose cutor at the hearing asked that the case be continued indefinitely until an opinion could be gotten from Attor- opinion could be- secured from Attor- granted the deputy county attorneys motion and transcript of the testi- mony is being sent to the attorney general for his opinion. After word is received from Jones one way or the other McLane will act on Morri- sons motion for a dismissal.
 J. w. Reiff gave the main testimony at the hearing, telling how he and J. s. Sykes, another detective em- p1oyed by the sheriffs office, entered the City restaurant on November 2l, to cat meal and ended up by giving Yen a dollar to purchase a bottle Of whiskey for them Reiff said that he had asked Yen if he would buy a bottle of whiskey, if ne gave him the money. Yen according to the witness, said that he could get the whiskey, and would give it to him that even ing. Reiff and Sykes returned later that day, and Yen gave them the booze. A few days later the two men again got a bottle of whiskey through Yen. This was practically all of the testimony against Yen.
 Bound Over.
 Eduardo Garcia was bound over to the Superior court under bonds of $500 on a charge of introducing liquor into the State. Garcia is the Mexican who was arrested ill Ash Fork, with bill of lading for 50-gallon barrel of alleged machine oil in his posses sion. Deputy Frank r. Bartlett, who made the arrest, testified as to find ing the bill of lading on Garcia, but the latter claimed at the time of his arrest, that he had found the bill of lading in the depot at Prescott. Gar cia said he found the bill on Dccem- Der 17th. c. w. Hankin said while on the stand that Garcia with another Mexican had been at Del Rio on the 17th. The Mexican was returned to jail as he could not furnish bail money or a bond.
