Norman Selby, once famous in the
prize ring as Kid Mccoy. played havoc
with the aims Of the National Women's
Lifesaving League at Long Beach yes
terday. One Of the purposes, as ex-
planned by its president. Katherine F..
Mehrtens. is the advocacy of simple
and rational bathing suits for swine
mers.
To be sure, the twenty girls who con-
tested in yesterdays seven water
events were clad in one-piece suits,
which they draped with skirts when not
aspiring for the twenty-one silver cups
offered as prizes in the carnival. The
costumes of the bathers who watched
the girls, however. ran the entire prism
of color, from one which looked to
spectators like a mass Of seaweed TO a
pale pink creation.
But Kid Mccoy. evidently unheed-
ing suffrage pleas, outdid all the
women. His suit, first seen on the
beach when the races began, was a
whirlwind of color 1t was made up Of
only two shades, but any more would
have spoiled its continuity, for the
tones present were a vivid purple,
punctuated with stripes of brilliant
Grange.
This costumes only rival was the re-
minder Of several crates Of oranges
brought in by dozen swimmers in
one Of the races. These were hauled
from shore in a rowDoat. which the
waves seemed to pick upon and drive
backward at times, and dumped into
the ocean. The girls lined up in front

Warden Thomas Mott Osborne, who
was scheduled to go on a vacation yes
terday, did not leave sing sing prison
The belief about the prison is that he
is waiting to see what move P. J. Nc
Donald is going to make next.
After being acquitted Of the charge
of assault pressed by Mr.. Osborne,
Mcdonald announced he was going to
make a counter charge against the
warden. No further step in this direc-
tion had been taken when Police JUS
tice Valentine closed his court yester-
day.
The judge is clinging to the prison
records, marked as exhibits, which Mr.
Osborne asked be returned to him
after the jury freed Mcdonald. "The
court will hold them" declared Judge
Valentine yesterday, until the trouble
between the two parties is disposed Of"

STANDARD LOSES
CHINA OIL DEAL
Fails to Obtain Agreement at
Picking for Exploitation of
Fields in Orient.

Picking, Aug. 14.-W. +. Bemis, vice
president of the Standard Oil Com
pany, of New York, having failed to
co--clude a permanent contract with
the Chinese government for the ex-
ploitation OF oil fields in China, de-
parted for the United States to-day.
A preliminary agreement entered into
last year for the development of oil
districts in the northern part of the
country expires tomorrow.
The American Legation will continue
efforts to reconcile the differences be-
tween the government and the COM
pany.
The expiring agreement provided for
the exploration of the oil fields of the
Province of Shen-si and the northern
part of the Province Of Chill 1t was
contemplated that should they prove
sufficiently valuable a Chino-American
company was to be formed, in which
the Standard oil Company would have
had a controlling interest, the Chinese
government receiving a certain per-
centage of the shares.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE failure of
the Standard Oil Companys effort
caused much comment in commercial
and diplomatic circles here. Officials
were inclined to speculate as to a pos
sible connection between it and the re-
cent granting by China Of commercial
demands made ~ Japan.
More than half of the American ex-
port business TO China is kerosene oil,
and the developn mt OF extensive oil
fields in China by citizens of any other
country would have a disastrous effect
upon the Chinese-American trade, say
government officials. The United States
was the only country doing an in
creased TRACE w..h China during 1914,
an 1 the oil is about the only article in
tina. trade which has not met severe
japanese competition.
-'aul Reinsch. Minister to China, and
Consul Summons are both in the United
States and will visit Washington before
returning to China. Ii is expected they
will confer with the State and Com
merce Department officials on the Chi
nese situation.
Official reports from China have
dealt at great length with the oil sltua-
ton.

 9. Finally we charge George w. P. Hunt, governor of Arizona, with a wanton disregard of necessary economy at time when, if ever in the history of the State, economy was imperatively demanded. We claim that the business of the State can be administered for fraction of what is administration costs under his direc' ton and with infinitely greater cffici- ency and success.
 For these reasons, among others, we ask all electors to join with us in exercising the constitutional right of recalling and removing from office man utterly united for the dis charge of his duties and for the con servation of the peace and dignity Of the State.

 Ezra Jackson, foreman of the War Eagle Gladiator mines, near Crown King, is extremely optimistic over conditions in the Bradshaw country. He arrived in the city Thursday.
 Big things are going on in that section he says, and singles out the Nelson. which he says is well determined mineral proposition beyond any doubt whatever, and of bonanza rating. The success being made in treating by a special method the complex pro duct of the tailings dump at the old Crown King mill dump, is noteworthy in solving reduction problem from which mines will be successfully oper- ated in the future. There is no further barrier to face the Bradshaws, as the key is ready to unlock its vast treasure vaults, and the coming year will sec more activity and better times than ever known" he said.

 He was young man of about ? years, and the indirect cause of death was his fancied vision of immense riches being stored in an abandoned mine of Hassayanpa district, and b recover the treasure he labored strcn- uously during the day as well as into the night. His physical frame col lapscd and later his mental faculties began to decline His father came from East Chicago and took him to the coast, but the change proved fruitless.

 The Octave showing continues sat isfactory, which has had stimulating effect ill rcviving other properties. His freignting outfit is required daily in stead of periodically as heretofore, while postal business is showing all increase which he compares with former days when many mines were operating. The reported sale of the Congress to California syndicate is another straw to indicate the return of old times, and through this prop erty resuming other deals arc under consideration in that country. He anticipates better year in 1916 than for the past decade.

ANSWER FILED IN
 BIG COPPER CHIEF SUIT
(From Saturdays Daily)

Claiming that purported transac- ton between Jean Allison as his agent and George w. Hull relative to an interest in the Copper Chief mining claim in the Verde district would be invalid because his wife was not a party to the deal, William Gabbert yesterday filed answer to the suit of Hull against the United Verde Ex- tension Mining Company, William Gabbert, David Connor and Mrs. Annie s. McNally, as guardian of David Connor, an incompetent, ask ing that the action against him be dismissed. His attorneys are John J. Hawkins and Richard Lamson.
 Hull is suing to have it adjudged that he is the sole owner of all of the ore under the surface of the ground in the Copper Chief and all of the surface with the exception Of seven lots which he admits are owned by the defendants.
 He claims. that he and his wife are owners of one-fourth interest in the northeast half of the surface ground of the claim together with an undi- vided one-eightn interest in the ores of the entire claim.
 There is a defect in the parties made defendants to the action, Cab bert claims because he was married to Tudella Allison, now Gabbert, at the time he is said to have sold his share in the claim to Hull and be cause his interest was purchased by him after his marriage making the in terest community property. Accord ing to the statutes, Gabbert's attor- neys claim the transaction would not have been legal unless his wife was party to the deal.
 In the complaint Hull does not mention Mrs. Gabbert.

EUREKA MOVING
 ALPHABETICALLY TO FRONT
(From Fridays DailY.l

Colonel Fred Bowler, general man ager of the Major Mining and Milling Co.,, "Wednesday concluded a very important deal, taking over the p. stamp mill of the Poland Mining Company, and also acquiring the sole use of the Poland tunnel and all equipment therein, under lease. The latter is to be used for conveying the product from the Major mines to the milling and shipping point, and has l length from the Lynx creek to the Big Bug side of 8,2OO feet.
 This movement" Colonel Bowler stated, ''is due to the heavy tonnage on the dump of a milling grade of ore, estimated at over 1000 tons, and over 5000 tons ready for stoping in the Eureka levels. Since October |, we have shipped seven carloads or .l higher grade ore to Humboldt, and we are now loading two more cars"
 In speaking of development plans for the Eureka he announced that drifting is now going ahead toward the Shelton claim of the big group and the work will require 3,l00 fees. A continuous ore body prevails, and which is to be marketed and milled as occasion warrants.
 Modern Machinery.
 That the company is we'll pleased with its investment was proven yes terday by the arrival at the depot of a modern air compressor of 800 cubic feet capacity, to drive six drills. This apparatus will be loaded and freightcd to the camp today. Colonel Bowlel' stated that after his many years ex- perience a modern operating equip ment is as essential in mine making as in having a desirable property. With future development making bet ter headway than under primitive con ditions, production will be sufficient to keep the Poland mill in action, probably on a day and night shift. He is so well pleased with the Eu reka that he became an investor after a practical examination for several weeks, and now owns con interest in that property. The mine force now reaches to over 30, and is to be added to instead of de creased. The placing of the tunnel in shape for rapid transit, and the getting of the mill in order for steady service, begins at once.

 Following a night of hollerinS, moaning and crying, K. E. LeFors, who suddenly became violently in sane last "Wednesday, yesterday morn ing about daylight fell into deep sleep, awaking late in the afternoon ill a perfectly sane condition.
 The county officials while the man slept, held in straightjacket, had ar ranged all plans for taking him to Phoenix to be examined for insanity before Judge Stanford.
 With his apparent recovery from a most dangerous form of insanity it was decided to mold him in the county jail for the next month under obser- vation.

 He says that he cannot remember thing since getting on the train al Lawton, Okla, his home town. He docs not rcmembe. fighting with anybody and was surprised to find himself ill jail.
 Fearing that LeFors might again show symptoms of violence the sher- iff's office will hold him until the re turn of Judge Smith.

The first hydraulic giants ever to be introduced in this field for placer mining were on exhibition yesterday by the Arizona Mine Supply Co.,, and are the property of the Wichita Placer Co.,, which is to soon begin operating on Lynx creek. There are four of these utilities, and they will be taken to the works later.
 C. H. Israel, general manager of this undertaking was in the city yes tcrday and stated hydraulicing begins not later than December 20, delay occurring from the non-arrival of about 5000 feet of piping. This ma terial was shipped from Albuquerque yesterday, and will be laid short time after it reaches the site. The sluicc boxes are in position, and con sist of two sets, each 40 feet long and in four sections, with dimension of three feet. The big pumps are ready to run, and the gates of the big dam will be closed in a few days to con serve water for hydraulicing.
 Several of the Eastern stockholders arc expected to be present when init ial operations begin. The ground to be worked is within one-half mile of the wagon road crossing on Lynx creek.

BLACK CHIEF IS
 FINANCED FOR BIG WORK
(From Saturdays Daiiy.)

kEiOlh Odtui iuGS OdAy.J
 Arrangements have been closed by which the holdings of the Black Chief Copper Co.,, in the Black Hills, are to pass out of the stage of periodical de velopment, and are to be extensively operated, was the important announce ment made by J. M. Sullivan, while in the city this week.
 Men who have made a success of mining, and who reside ill Louisiana and Texas, are to become identified with the new movement back of the Black Chief, and which is supported during several years of development at different periods in which the show ing made is considered as attractive for outlaying capital. The property has been quite we'll developed, and underground conditions preclude op- crations to be continued until 6nan- cial assistance is forthcoming to meet cxigencies that invariably arise as great depth is being reached. The handling of water requires additional machinery, and encouragement of operating plans will soon be under way. The Black Chief among miners is rated as an excellent property, and from its location in the belt close to the Copper Chief, and near to the Je- rome field, offers strong Inducements for greater exploration than has been given.
