During his examination the physicians could not make him smile and when one of them asked him if he could laugh he said that he did not know how.

INCREASE IN THE
 ENROLMENT OF SCHOOLS
(From Sundays Daily.)

Returning from a trip in the north ern part of the county, Superintend- ent of Schools w. Curtis Miller de clared yesterday that the educational institutions in that section of Yavapai have increased wonderfully in enroll ment for the 1915-1916 season. Over 100 pupils have entered the three schools on the main line of the Santa Fe making the largest enrolment in their history.
 Twenty-two pupils have enrolled in the Nelson school of which Miss Edna Grove is principal Eighteen of the pupils are Mexicans, and four Italians. Miss Grove has had much experience teaching Mexicans. Mir Brandon, school clerk and manager of the lime company acts as truant officer. A very suitable school building is fur nished by the company and every ef- fort is being made to give the foreign children an education.
 Seligman can boast of a new two room stone school house. This build ing was constructed within the funds voted and the district still has a small credit in the building fund. Four years ago, Miller declared, that there were about fifteen or twenty pupils in the school and on his visit this time he found that fifty were enrolled un- der Miss Grace o. Miller as principal and Miss Alvina Danielson as pri- mary teacher. Both are competent teachers of experience.
 Ash Fork also has a new school building and the best rural school house in the county With four acres Of ground and with Fred Kahn, teacher who knows how to get work out of his pupils, the school lot is be- ing transformed into one of the best in the county. With a basketball court, ample ball grounds, and with cement walks leading to the building, Ash Fork will no longer hear deroga- tory remarks of tourists as they wan der around while waiting for the trains. At Cedar Glade an enrolment of twenty students were found.

IMPORTANT DEAL
 FOR PLACERS IS CLOSED
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Of the many mining transactions to be concluded in this field in recent months that of yesterday will rank as among the most important, the Lafay- cite Company selling to C. s. Israel, of Wichita, Kas., its large placer hold ings on Lynx creek in which the con sideration was for several thousand dollars.
 The buyer is to dispose of the prop erty to a strongly financed corpora ton, and the letting of large con tract yesterday for material and sup plies paves the way for active work to start at once The claims taken over are the Round Tree, Oak Tree, Potomac, Helen K., Lafayette and two-thirds of the Safety, on all of which an extensive system of pros pecting had been conducted for the past two years, and with results in auriferous values that were surpris- ing. O. O. Smith directed this explor ation, as we'll did Mir. Israel person ally figure in ascertaining absolute values.
 These claims extend along Lynx creek as far south as the wagon road crossing, and are practically virgin. The method of operating in the inn mediate future is interesting, and will call for an outlay of over $100,0O0. A huge dam is to be constructed at l point selected up the stream and hydraulicing will be carried out. Ne gotiations for the group had been pending in this city for the past ten days, the varied interests finally arriv- ing at an amicable understanding.
 This placer movement is but in keeping with many similar transac- tions to take place in this section in recent months, but is on a gigantic scale compared to the others, from the plans outlined to operate, as well IS the large domain to be brought in 10 practical state of production.

CRIME
 COMMITTED ON RANGE
(From Saturdays Dailv.O

NFrOm SdluIQdy Ddlly.)
 Dr. R. N. Looney has received q telephone message from Nicholas Perkins, his associate in the Johnson Cattle Co.,, telling of foul murder committed on their range recently, south of Williams about twenty miles, and that the discovery of the body had been made by their range foreman. Paul Moore.
 The latter gave only meager par ticulars, stating that the body of the man was found floating in the big dam. An examination was made, and to the neck and feet were found tied large rocks, as well was the skull of the victim crushed in.
 It is presumed that when the mur- der occurred, the man was thrown in- to the water, where it was about twenty-five feet deep, and later was carried to the shallow point where the discovery was made by Mr. Moore The latter stated the remains couli not be identified, as the man was stranger in that section.
 The crime is wrapped in deep mys- tcry. The place where the deed was committed is over fifteen miles dis tant from any cattle camp or habita- ton. Further particulars are expect cd to be received today.

 ARGUED SECOND TIME
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 After hearing arguments yesterday for the second time in the suit of the Upper Verde Farm & Orchard Com pany against Yavapai county to have the taxes on 90 acres of land in the Verde valley opposite Clarkdale re duced, Judge Smith in the Superior court took the case under advisement Attorney LeRoy Anderson argued for the plaintiff while County Attorney P. w. O'Sullivan and his assistant, J. H. Morgan, argued for the defense,
 In the case of the State versus the Arizona Power Company the demur- Ter of the defendant was argued by Anderson for the defense and O'Sulli- van & Morgan for the prosecution. Anderson asks that the case be dis missed on the ground that the law under which the case is brought, Is unconstitutional because it would i'm prison for debt, which would be vio- lation of the United States constitu- ton. Judge Smith declared the cause to stand submitted until Thursday, November II, to give the attorneys time in which to file briefs.

 TO RE EXPLORED
iFrom Fridays Daily.)


 The Copper Dyke group, at the head of Big Bug creek and near Pc land, is to be active again at once, the owner, Ed. Block, letting quite a large contract yesterday to Geo. H.. Freyda to perform certain develop ment. The tunnel driven some years ago by Block was over 200 feet long, following the formation to a depth of about 100 feet. The dyke is about 2CO feet in width on the surface, and to crosscut this condition is the pur- pose. Native copper, copper glance and a sulphide prevail, and the extent oi these minerals will be fully deter mined by the exploration to be car ried out.

(By William P. De Wolf)

OATMAN, Ariz., Nov. 6. - Any statement, oft repeated, carries with it a cumulative weight that tends to irstill in the public mind the convic- ton that it is 20-karat truth. The gospel of all the politicians who have harangued the public ear from the stone age to the present has its gen esis in the predeliction of mankind, as a whole, to accept as bona fide "skookum" their reiterated platitudes. This disposition on the part of the average person to let another direct the current of his opinions is as ap- parent in mining circles as in other walks of life. And yet when each new chapter of revelations has been writ ten into the mineralogical text books we note a reversal of form that sets at naught theories which had hitherto been accepted as facts.
 Old Bob Womack, cowpuncher and sporadic prospector, wrote a new chapter on mining in letters of gold with the point of pick that he drove inquiringly into a ledge outcrop on the Broken Box ranch. Cripple Creek with its millions and its multiplicy of mines took shape in Womack's "holc in the ground" thereby confounding the theories and lending em- phasis to the truism that "gold is where you find it." For Cripple Creek, be it known, was turned down. by number of noted mineralogists, sev- cral of whom are yet unconvinced of its merit. Many of us can look back along the vista of time to the bolster ous early days of Cripple Creek and recall the strong adverse opinion ex- pressed anent the continuation of val ues at depth.

'97-7-DutlCr, the Belmont ranchcr who located the AIizpah group of claims and gave to the world the richest silver-gold camp of the twentieth century. Later that same public acclaimed Butler as the father" of Tonopah; and yet with pcrverse persistence held to the be- lief that pay values did not prevail beyond the Belmont fault. Subse- quently it was proven that pay values did, and do, and will prevail to great depth beyond that barrier.
 Those of us who followed the trail blazed by Harry Stimler, the Indian, into the Goldheld country can re member the days when only little coterie of stout-hearted optimists could visualize its future greatness behind the cloud of adverse public opinion. We can recall the time when the Red Top, the Jumbo, the Flor ence, the Combination. the January and even the great Mohawk were skeptically spoken of, or were damned by the faintest of praise. We can re member, during later period, when it was said that the latite shalc was absolutely barren of values. And yet today the veins in the latitc shale at Goldheld are supplying the where withal to pay generous dividends.
 How About Oatman?
 Many people hold the opiniou that Oatman is low grade camp. This may, or may not be the case. Time and development will prove or disap- prove the theory During the period of "watchful waiting" however, it is not amiss to give the data now avail able on this interesting subject the once over. The facts and figures I have gathered during a seven months sojourn here do not corroborate the contention that Oatman is a low grade camp. That is. they do not convey such a conviction to my mind. Ii is my purpose to submit them here with unadorned and unbiased.
 Ore having an average gold content of $40 per ton is being mined in the Tom Reed workings at a depth of 1075 feet; and from a short distance below surface to that depth ore has been opened at times that averaged upward of $500 in gold to the ton. The average value of all the ore eX- tracted from the Tom Reed mine dur ing the 19l4l915 fiscal year was $21 per ton. Low grade ore. as com mercially recognized, is ore having I precious metal value Of $10 per ton, CT generally, less. The average value of the Tom Reed ore is there fore more than double that conner cially known as low grade"
 Values Widely Distributed.
 An especially noteworthy feature is the broad area here over which ore carrying a gold content much higher than How grade" is distributed On the 200-foot level Of the Moss mine, for instance, $6O orc is being mined.

 with him in the enterprise are B. J.

 men. Free gold features the ore on
 the Times group and at a depth of
 50 feet samples better than $50 per ton. The Gray Eagle group, formerly owned by Thornton, Dunbar and as sociatcs, has been taken over by the Gold Stone Mining Company. w. B. Gordon, formerly successful mine operator ats Goldheld and Manhattan, New, is the moving spirit in the en- tcrprise. By check assay it has been demonstrated that three feet of man. ganese ore on the Gold Stone prop erty have an average value of $33 per ton. At other points pannings of the orc indicate value of at least $50 per ton. A camp mas been established and development work started. At d depth of 200 feet the Ivanhoe is show ing 40 feet of vein material carrying good values. The shaft is to be low cred to depth of 800 feet where the ore body will again be crosscut.

STOPPED RECKLESS" ACTS.
Controller of Currency Issues State
ment Regarding Uniontown Bank.

The controller of the currency has
issued statement outlining attention
given by his Office to the First National
Bank of Uniontown, Pa, recently
closed by order of Its directors. and
placed in the hands of a national bank
examiner.
This statement sets forth that an
examination of this institution in April,
1913, showed that the bank, claiming
capital of 100000. surplus of 1881, 200
and deposits of s2.s2e.oOo, had made
direct and Indirect loans of s1.227,00
to j. V. Thompson, by whom the bank
was dominated and run"
AS result of efforts of the Treasury
Department. the statement said, the
loans on which Mr.. Thompson was
either maker or guarantor were re-
duced by August, 1914. to $65.00O.
MEANWHILE continued the state
ment. other reckless and unlawful
practices which had been in force for
a period of years were stopped. the de-
positors were enabled to collect from
the bank sl,318.000 of the S2,6S9,O00
held in April, 1913, SO that the total
deposit liabilities at the time of the
failure had been reduced to S1,371 900
and the loans to Mr.. Thompson on his
direct paper and Endorsements, as ap-
pears at the present time, to approx
mately 100000.

ttmore team comes here for game
after having been defeated in its own
gy,nntsiuin by the local quin", and
il will. tt.f efore, work desperately in
an endeavor to even up the count.
The contest should be about as well
played as the average college game. as
the visiting outfit will be made up OF
veteran performers and the capabilities
of the local aggregation are well
known. The basket ball game will start
at $50, and therme will be a hand-bal
tourn2 rlent between the same instttu-
tions at $50. Singles and doubles will
be played in the hand-ball match.
The Eastern High and Army and
Navy Props are scheduled to play in
the Scholastic Basket Ball League this
afternoon. The Light Blue and White
has yet to show what it can do. but
evidence OF generally unlocked for
strength. The contest is to take place
in the gymnasium of the boys depart
ment of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Had two Of the players George Wash
fngton had out at the start Of the season
been declared eligible for the basket ball
team the Hatchetites would have had an
ship of the south Atlantic section.
Hoppe and Hall are the men referred to.
Both are stars of the Y. NJ. c. A. quint.
Hoppe really is a great guard and plays
a rafting good game at center. while
Hall is an exceptionally clever forward.
These two players would have made
George Washington about twice as strong
as 1t now is, and 1t is questionable if the
Hatchetites would have dropped more
than one contest had they been in the
lineup. The game with Virginia would
probably have been lost, but 1t is not
probable that any of the others would.
The Boys Department Of the Y NJ c.
a. is scheduled to meet the quint from
Fort Myer this evening. The "Y'' bows
VIII have their usual players in the line
up.
Two games are scheduled tonight in
the Military Basket Ball League The
1st Infantry team of the National
Guard is to meet the Engineers, and
the Naval Battalion will test its
strength against the Artillery Corps
Both contests are expected to develop
good competition, as all these quints
have shown good form at one time or
another during the season.
One two-mile relay race has been
scheduled for the George Washington
University games. to be held three
weeks from tomorrow. That will take
place between the Central Y NJ. c. A.
of Baltimore and the Baltimore Cross
Country Club. This is likely to be the
only race at that distance, unless two

vessels were added to those doing bust
ness under the American flag. and of
the eleven craft four were big steam
ships, which. though built at English
shipyards, are under the act of August
IS, 1914, transferred from British to

of the vessels admitted was 1928
and of this l7.405 tons was that of the
former British ships. OF the eleven
vessels two were small schooners built
at Essex. Mass; one was a Scow built
at Kingston, n. Y; three are gasoline
