IMPORTANT DEAL MADE
 FOR OLD TAILINGS
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Announcement was made yesterday by F. M Murphy of very impor tant deal he has closed in the Brad shaws, whereby the old tailings dump of the Crown King mine has been purchased outright by M. P Ran dolph and David B. Gemmell, prac- tical mining men as well as metallur- gists of nationwide rating.
 This transaction also has signifi- canoe attached to the future of that mineral belt, in the probable early introduction of methods by which the complex ores Of the Bradshaws are to be handled. The above operators are now on the ground, and later will introduce a process by which their equipment will successfully treat this rebellious product, that is approxi- mately estimated at 10000 tons, and with valuation of over $10O,0O0. This tailings dump has remained undis- turbed for many years, and is the output of many years of milling by the Crown King Mines Company. Various devices in years gone have been placed on the ground to sue cessful1v treat the yield. all of which have proved only partially successful
 Messrs Randolph and Gemmell en- ter this field as prominently and rep utably known in mining circles and their big equipment Is soon to arrive and begin operating Both left for Crown King yesterday.

 Almost daily some premium is of fered in the various departments of the Northern Arizona Fair, which will tend to create keen competition and rivalry among the exhibitors from the five counties of Northern Arizona. Yesterday telegram was received by Vice-president F. C. Whis- man from President Fredericks stat ing that Wm. H. Crocker, president of the Crocker National Bank, of San Francisco, has offered a special cash prize of $50 for the best county exhibit displayed in the Northern Ari- zona Fair educational department, this year. This in itself should prove a very attractive drawing card to the schools of Apache, Coconino, Mo have, Navajo and Yavapai counties. As previously stated the premium list this year has been so arranged as to obviate any possibility of unfairness, divisions having been made to judge exhibits according to the rating of the schools. Following is copy Of Mir Fredericks' telegram: San Francisco, Calif., Aug. "A, 1915 Frank C. Whisman, Vice-President Northern Arizona Fair Association Prescott, Arizona:
 "While boosting the Northern Ari zona Fair among San Francisco friends, Mir. William H. Crocker, the president of the Crocker National Bank, has offered a special cash prize of $50 for the best county school ex- hibit displayed in our educational de pertinent at the next annual fair

BLACK DIAMOND
 MINING DEAL IS CLOSED
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 The closing of negotiations for tho purchase of the Black Diamond group of gold mines at Walker, was con summated yesterday, which is con sidered as one of the most important 1eals closed in this field in recent months. The sellers are w. L. Conner md D. L. Booker, and the buyers ire capitalists of the coast and the Eastern States, represented here by ]. F. Staley, John Sirl, Dr. Hoffan bach and M. Odell. Davis.
 M essrs. Sirl and Davis are to re- main and they announced yesterday machinery would be placed on the property at once and large develop ment would be inaugurated The consideration in this deal was with held. The original owners have per formed large line of exploration in recent years, the main shaft reaching T depth of over 85 feet. One of the inducements behind closing this deal $ the splendid showing other proper ties in that belt are making, and which are operating successfully un- Ter lease. Deep mining is solving q fine future for that locality where the Black Diamond holdings are situ- ated.

HEAVY PRODUCTION
(From Thursdays DailY.O

It is probable that another ore haul ing team will be placed on the road to Skull valley, from the Commercial mines in Copper Basin. The output of this property is increasing, and eight six-mule teams are required. Fifty tons of ore are being shipped daily at present to the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas, and production is reported to be ahead of the ca pacity of the freight teams in use.

HEAVY TONNAGE DE
 HANDS NEW MILL PLANT
(From Fridays Dai1vO


 Henry Braun, associated with O. w. Blickenstaff in reducing the dump of the old Crown King mine, was an arrival during the week and stated the old stamp mill had been aban- doned owing to its limited treating capacity, and the Marathon process was being installed. This movement is due to the success made in recent months in recovery of values by the old process, and for the essential req son that reduction, if maintained by the old system, would run into sever al years to handle this product.
 The new plant will have capacity of 125 tons per day, and it is esti- mated fully two years work is ahead to treat the 100000 tons at its max imum capacity. The plant under con struction will begin running sometime during September, according to pres ent calculations. The old dump has lain undisturbed for many years, and was not treated in early days owing to its complex product, but which recent inventions have overcome in giving high percentage of values carried.

PROMISE THRILLS
 AT FAIR IN OCTOBER
(From Thursdays Daily.l


 Thrills unequalled are promised those who attend the Northern Ari- zona Fair this year if the plans of those in charge of the aviation de- partment are carried out. If it is possible both an aeroplane and a large balloon will be on the grounds to furnish this years sensations. At pres ent correspondence is going on with Young Brothers in Kansas City to obtain an aviator, while it is almost certain that Lucielle Belmont, lady aeronaut, will be present to make bal loon ascensions and drops in the par achute. One of the acts which will be put on by the lady aeronaut will be a triple parachute drop. Miss Bel mont, after reaching an altitude which will cause the balloon to become but dot in the sky, will make her down ward drop in three different para chutes, each parachute dropping from 500 to 1000 feet.
 It is also expected that in case the services of Miss Belmont cannot be obtained, another outfit from the East, which will stage mimic aerial battles in mid-air, will be on hand 10 furnish excitement. This outfit, it is said, consists of two fortified dirigibles.

unable to accomplish anything, as wt have been absolutely wrong in every thing we have undertaken to do. Nev ertheless, we think somebody ought to find some way to do something more for us. We have done our very best to realize as much as we pos sibly could for our personal use, from such available assets as we could dis pose of, and are ready to continue along the same lines until something more attractive offers. It would be proper to say here, that we have been untiring in our efforts to prevent those whose claims we have been misrepresenting, from cooperating with those who were honestly trying to save something for creditors, and get this valuable enterprise on its feet again, and the property into success ful operation. Sorry to have to re- port that the outlook for our con tinuing these hurtfuI tactics, is not very promising, but we beg to assure you that we have done our very best, all things considered, and when it is understood that we had absolutely nothing to justify the trouble we have created. A careful reading of all the documents that have been prepared by MT. Hartman and myself, will make clear to you, that we have drawn upon our imagination without limit, in trying to find some pretense upon which to impose new obstacles, and, so far as possible, prevent the re- sumption of this important enterprise We trust that our services along the lines suggested, will receive proper consideration, and that additional fi- nancial support from the creditors we have thus far been able to fool will be forthcoming. We take this oppor- tunity to advise the claimants, and those in sympathy with the methods we employed, that we are absolutely without funds at the present time, and something must be done. We find it utterly impossible to get any support whatever from the citizens of Tucson, and those engaged III the mining business in this section of the country, as it is perfectly clear to them that we have been wrong all the way through, which resulted in working very great injury to this community in general"
 Since suggesting the appendix as indicated, there is an opportunity to add a good deal to make conspicuous, the ridiculousness of the tactics em- ployed by the gentlemen referred to, but it would do no particular good, and I do not know as it would amuse and as the time is not very far off when the gentlemen will be disposed of effectively, it hardly seems worth while to take very seri- ously, the. nonsense they are indulg- ing in
 If you feel sufficiently interested to publish this little statement, I should be glad to have you do so, as l have a good many friends in the State, and in this section particularly, that 1 would not like to have de- ceived by such misrepresentations as have been, and are being, put forth.
 1 would not be surprised if the next complaint presented by Hartman accuses me, or the Development Company, or someone connected with the Imperial Copper Company, of being responsible for the sinking of the Lusitania, or some of the other things the kaiser is re sponsible for.
 Yours very truly,
 F M. MURPHY.

in that direction. All kinds of rep resentations and claims are being made by the trustee and his attor- neys, not in any sense justified, and doubtless for the purpose, as it would appear, of deceiving those whose in terests they are supposed to be rep resenting.
 It is claimed in the report above referred to, that some very large claims were filed before the referee, amounting to over million dollars, on notes issued by the Imperial Cop per Company, and that these claims were strenuously objected to before the referee, but in spite of the indus triousness and scheming tactics of the trustee and his attorneys, the claims were finally allowed by the referee. It now appears that this same trustee is soliciting the cooper ation and assistance of these very creditors, whose claims he so persist ently opposed, in trying to work out some new scheme from which they doubtless would expect to realize some advantage.
 After reading the report of July first, 1915, in writing to my friend, Dr. M. P. Freeman, referring to said report asked the doctor if he did not think the following postscript should have been added: T am sorry to report that up to date MT. Hart man, myself and associates have been

PRESENT DAY
OCEAN PERILS.

The iceberg, fog and derelict are
standing menaces to ocean travel,
although the thousands who have
crossed and recrossed in past years
have seldom realized these dangers,
but have laid themselves down to
sleep with but little thought OF what
might happen. 1t is not so now, how
ever, and we read of passengers Oh
ocean steamers sitting up all night
in their steamer chairs ready for any
eventuality. The dangers mentioned
above fade swhsn it is realized that
when once the war zone" is enter
cd ships are in peril and likely to
meet the fate Of the giant Cunarder
and her many passengers.
Extraordinary precautions to safe
guard passenger lives in case Of SUB
marine attacks were taken by otfi-
GERS of the White Star liner Cymrie
which recently reached Liverpool
from New York.
Every passenger aboard the liner
was supplied with life belt and
taught how to put it or shortly after
leaving New York. Under the dlrec'
ton of officers the passengers aho
crew were rehearsed in the act OF
getting quickly into the boats.
Entering the Irish Sea passenger:
were ordered to adjust their life
belts. boats were swung out anc
made ready to be lowered instant
" and double lookouts were estah
lished. Officers declare these pre-
c,ntions reassured some nervous pas
sengers who feared the Cymrlc miga'
meet the fate of the Lusltanla.

DR.. WILEY'S
DISCOVERY"

If the hat factories of the world
were closed down now there wouldn't
be a single baldheaded person in the
next generation, in the opinion Of
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, health expert.
DR.. Wiley, in all seriousness, yester-
day laid the blame for shiny tops OH
the practice of wearing hats.
81 believe" said the doctor, "that
if men would stop wearing tight-rim-
med hats, that stop the proper cir
culation of blood to the head, we
wouldn't have any bald heads. /
would urge this upon small boys es-
pecially, that they may be saved the
annoyance and often the embarrass-
ment of bald head"
Should the doctors suggestion be
generally adopted, wall of wee
would ascend from thousands who
make their living by manufacturing
and selling caputlcai coverings. but:
is it a fact that covering the head
produces badness? We prefer some
further proof before discarding our
hats. In ancient days most people
did not wear head coverings. This
is shown by paintings, statues ana
.busts which have been unearthed IN
cities Of bygone days. Many busts
of the ancients show that philosop-
hers, politicians and generals were
as bald as those of our day. We have
all read the story of the little ones
who insulted the prophet Elisha by
calling him a bald head.

We who live in a country where
water is as free as the air we breathe
have no realization of the discomat
often experienced in chimes where wa,
ter is luxury. In the tropics 1T IS
necessary to boil most water before
it can be used for drinking purposes.
William Jennings Bryan, after max
ing a tour of the world, delivered a
lecture in the Opera House in Alex
andria. He referred to the scarcity
of drinking water in some countries
especially parts Of India. On some
occasions when suffering from thirst
and heat, he and his party came TO
wells where there was an abundance
of water, but of a quality which car
ried disease and probably death, anc
none of the party drank of it. He said
none but those who have experienced
it know the feeling occasioned by be-
ing compelled to pass by water wher
tortured by heat and thirst. The COM
moner said he longed for the time
when he would be again beside the
well in his home in Nebraska, where
he could drink ad libitum.
