from the white man.
There was something so sinister in

it dawned upon me that these men

AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS
 PROSPEROUS ONE

.NThe automobile business among reliable manufacturers is in more fiourishing condition right now than ever before in the history of the in dustry,' said George M. Dickson, Gen eral Manager of the National Motor Vehicle Company. Our plant IS working to capacity with more or ders than we have ever had before at any one period, since the foundation of the National factory fifteen years ago.
 The announcement of the National Twelve cylinder car met with instant response. The orders are not from any one locality, but from all parts of the country.
 "This condition is not peculiar to us, but is true of practically all cars of good reputation. This f1ourishing Fcondition," continued Dickson, would not be possible if OUT country was not sound and prosperous. One can concoct theories and jump at conclus- ions all they please, but the fact re mains that this industry is enjoying great activity. Every responsible fac ltory is getting the benefit of th1s increased business. One might sup pose, and in fact many did predict it that when tRe war in Europe caused
 uneasiness in this country, that the
 automobile industry would pc sho' | full of holes'' To disprove this any one can verify this statement, name Iy; that never before was there sucE
 scarcity of cars of reliable make

Nineteen Elusive Bass Trapped by One Little EeI-Second Try Gets
 Seventeen More.

Smith, La--Joe Martin has just brought in the finest mess of bass of the season, and with it a strange tale. He had 36 plymouth black bass that he caught at two hauls with string line.
 He was using small minItows for bait and had no luck. After fishing about an hour he caught little eel He proceeded to string it, declaring he was going to have something to show, anyhow.
 He dropped the long stringing line over the side of his boat, fished for nearly an hour, and caught a i've inch trout.
 He started to pun up his line to string the trout and felt fierce tug and after a hard struggle he pulled in 19 big black-mouthed bass, running from pound to two and han pounds.
 The bass had tried to swallow the eel. and it had slid through their gills and strung them. Joe put the bass on another line, dropped the eel overheard again. In 41 minutes he pulled up 17 more bass.

In Fast Wrestling Contest at SaHoro
 on July 24th Clifton Boy is Victor

In the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen at the Br1er Hall at Stafford on July 24th, Wasem was returned the victor over Miller after thirty-two minutes of the classiest wrestling ever witnessed 1n this section.
 If a wrestle-loving crowd ever got the worth of their money they got 1t then Much applause was given both men for the work they done, and Wasem especially, for it seemed taat it was impossible for Miller to retain a hold for more than few seconds, crawling out of positions that seemed impossible. Miller proved to be the cleverest mat artist seen Ill action with Wasem. Altogether tnls was the best match ever put on in this section, both as to the worK done and a1so>as to a good clean con test. Miller was in no condition to come back for the second fall owing to the heat.
 Another match is being arranged
 that will surpass anything ever stag led here in this section. Geo. Both her, the Police Gazette Champion
 will grapple with Wasem. Miller
 will stay to get Wasem ID uhe oes

NeM Ofhcn RuiIdina-


 The Arizona Copper company nave been excavating this week for new general office building in which the different office departments of the big company will be housed. The site of the new building is located directly below the present mine office and to tue right of the Humboldt tunnel. The new structure will be two stories 3Ox52 feet and will be built of mason " and stucco, and when completed will be one of the most handsome and substantial buildings in camp Upon it's completion the several de- partment offices will be housed under one roof and each quarter will be well lighted and commodious. The pres ent offices are scattered and remotely situated from each other and commun1 cation between them is necessarily hampered but with the new quarters the efficiency and service of the de partments will be much improved. A new building 20I30 will also be built above the Humboldt which will con- stitute the mine model room. This | is an innovation in this section or the country and one which it is stated will be of inestimable value. This building will contain a huge model in relief of all the workings of the com pany in the district, underground as well as surface construction. This company has always been noted for its progressfveness and it is under stood that other improvements are contemplated in the near future whlcf will not only add to the appearance of the camp but will be of great ad vantage to the company as well.
