FAMOUS OCTAVE TO
 INCREASE ITS FORCE
(From Thursdays Daly.)

(From Thursdays Daly.)
 Before leaving yesterday for the Octave mining camp, near Stanton, H. C. Gibbs, president of the recently organized syndicate which acquired this famous gold producer of other days, gave out the important infor- nation that initial development under headway for the past two months will be continued on a permanent basis.
 "We are going ahead along con servative lines, with a small force, it is true, but solely for the purpose of ascertaining absolute conditions. Dur ing my trip to the camp the operating principles will be enlarged, however, and a bigger crew will be placed at work" he stated From this admis sion it is quite reasonable to expect important developments in the near future as the outcome of exploration carried out on virgin ground, as well is it anticipated the old workings again may be the scene of practical consideration.
 Primarily it was through the ef forts of MT. Gibbs this property was purchased by Boston syndicate over one year ago, and was unquestionably due to his knowledge of mining as well as his familiarity with under ground conditions. The Octave on resuming recently, began exploration by sinking new vertical shaft on the Joker claim of the big group, situated some distance away from the main workings. The showing is attractive hence the intention to go ahead and explore to great depth.

PHOENIX TO BE
 NIGHT CONTROL OF RACE

PHOENIX, April 2S. - That a movement is under way in Los An geles to stage an automobile race from that city to Fl Paso, via Phoe- nix this fall instead of the annual Los Angeles-to-Phoenix race is the state ment of J. w. Glasgow of Los An geles, travelling freight and passenger agent of the Santa Fe who is here today
 According to Glasgow it is the plan to make Needles the first night con- trol of the 1,200-mile grind, Prescott second, Phoenix third, Tucson fourth, reaching Fl Paso the next day.
 Tt is the plan," said Glasgow, ito set the date of the race little ahead of what it was the last several years so that it will not conflict with the Corona and other coast races"
 Glasgow says that traffic both ways over the Santa Fe is heavier now than it has ever been before at this time of the year.

The significance of the showing on tbe 3O0-foot level aside from its im- oortance to the Pittsburg company, is that it demonstrates the presence of the well mineralized Tom Reed and United Eastern ore zone at point $500 feet northwest of the Tom Reed estate.
 The crosscut on the 565-foot level ii, the United Eastern mine is being driven to contact with the ore shoot oDened on the levels above as rapidly a. Jack hammers and giant powder can break the rock. This recent ad- dition to the proven mines of the Tom Reed-Gold Road district seems de- stined to become the greatest gold mine in the Southwest. Forty feet of pay milling ore is showing on the 46O-foot level. g feet of it breaking to an average of $7l gold per ton. Frank Keith and Seely Mudd, well known and successful mining engin- ccrs. are prominently identified with United Eastern affairs. There is es- timatcd to be S1,5OO,OOO worth of ore above the 46O-foot level in the mine.
 A 60-horse power hoist and engine (disti1ate) and a 30O-cubic-foot, com pressor have been ordered fo- the United Western mine, adjoining the United Eastern on the northwest. Pending its arrival and installation six-horse power hoist has been rented for development purposes. The com pany has a substantial treasury fund and will sink to a depth of 400 feet before cross-cutting to the extension of the United Eastern ore body.

l5-CENT COPPER NO
 MORE FOR FIVE YEARS
(From Thursdays Daily.l

BISBEE, April 2S.-"Copper will not see a price of Is cents again for five years" said Sam F. Levy, yester- day, at his office il. the Copper Queen hotel. This prediction from the Den yer broker is entirely in line with the general sentiment throughout the country and is based on observations of general business conditions not only in the State of Colorado and other parts Of the West but also of East and European conditions, pres ent and future.
 Levy Is here on trip of inspection. He has had headquarters in Denver for many years and at one time had branch offices in many parts of New Mexico as well as in Bisbee. He is associated with Max Levy, who is well known in Bisbee, having lived here and managed the local branch for time.
 "I cant see how a cessation of hos tilities on the continent of Europe" said Levy, "can hurt the copper situ- ation. Another erroneous impression exists at the present time to large extent. In the manufacture of shells and other fine munitions of war the largest part of the coppe- for such uses is coming from the lake country.
 That would mean that the enor- nous demand for electrolytic is caus- ed by an increase for domestic and in dustrial purposes. It can not be de- nied however that in the industrial uses for electrolytic you will find many articles the demand for which is greatly stimulated by the war"
 The broke. then went on to speak O: general business conditions in the United States, noting gradual i'm provement throughout and declaring that he expected the present demand to increase.
 Europe" added Levy, whenever the war comes to a close must re- build It will take millions of pounds of copper to do this and it is my opinion that the demand will exceed the supply for years and that every pound of copper produced will find a ready market"
 In speaking of the political situa- ton the visitor first stated that he was republican. He then added that the signs of the time point to a complete republican victory for l9l6.
 "The tariff as far as it affects the United States has been, or should be, eliminated. The tariff is essentially meant to protect American industries from European inroads. The present war has done more than any tariff can do. It has eliminated this com petition and the American market has little to flea. from Europe's cheap labor and manufacturing conditions. Even with the present tariff I do not see where this country can be further hurt than it has been already" con cluded the visitor.

Mir. and Mrs. David E. Trueman, who arrived Tuesday from Riverside, California, in auto, relate an incident which occurred while they were pass ing ove7 the desert, when they were hailed by a man on foot who was perishing from thirst.
 The place was out of Bagdad, and their attention was attracted by the person waving his blue shirt at dis tance of over one-quarter of mile off the road. After the car was stopped, the man slowly approached and with a grin on his face never uttered a word. His condition was instantly grasped and care was exer, cised in giving him small quantities of water until his physical condition was normal. He was without hat, and later stated he had been misdi- rected to the railroad station from a mining camp. Sewed to his under shirt was $325. He was en route to Fresno, Cal.

ELECTRIC MAIL SER
 VICE IS A POSSIBILITY
(From Thursdays DailY.l

- The electric mail service which the Telepost committee of the United States senate in its report of March 4, 1915. recommends to the considera- ton of the postmaster general, means telegraph service throughout the United States in conjunction with the United States postoffice. The rates at which the Telepost will give this service are one cent a word for 10 words and one-half cent word for 50 words or more The electric mail service will differ from the present telegraph service in rates and in that the postal facilities would be used to collect and deliver messages sent at the reduced rates. In case special de- livery or messenger service is desired an additional payment Of ten cents would be required.
 This service is made possible by the Tclepost automatic system of telcgraphing by which as high as 1000 words per minute can be trans mitted over a single wire.
 From the point of view of the post office, the electric mail means letter or card handled by the postoffice just as any other letter or card is today handled, with the single exception that instead of being carried by train the contents of the letters or cards are transmitted by wire between the two postofices.
 From the point of view of the Tele- post, the electric mail means mes sage sent by Telepost, just as any other telegraph message is sent, with the difference that the collecting of the message at one end and the de- livering of it at the other is done by the regular collectors and carriers of the postoffice.
 Where a message is delivered on a postal card it will be called a tele- card, which means 10 words for 10 cents. When it is delivered in seal ed envelope, the message is called a telepost, which means 50 words or less for 25 cents, and cents for each additional 10 words or less. These rates will be uniform, regardless of distance, between any two points con nected by Telepost lines.
 The electric mail will be far quicker than a letter,-much cheaper than a telegram.
 By this service several communica- tions may be exchanged during busi- ness hours between the business sec tions of all cities having frequent postofice collections and deliveries.
 The Telepost is now ready to in troduce the electric mail between St. Louis and Chicago and to extend it as rapidly as its lines are built. or leased.

HELP! ANOTHER EXTRA
 SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

PHOENIX, April 2o.-That there will be another extraordinary session of the Legislature closely or immedi- ately following the adjournment of the present one was definitely an nounced yesterday by Governor Hunt fo- the purpose of taking up land legislation. The promise of the gov ernor was secured by Chairman Duffy of the state democratic com mittee. who represented to the gov ernor that the democratic state plat form had pledged the party to land legislation, to the adoption of policy with respect to the public lands.
 It had probably been the intention of the governor to call session for that purpose. and at any rate 1t was generally believed that he would do SO. The matter was taken up yester- day by Judge Duffy, A. w. Coker ot Pinal county, and Walter Brawner, former chairman of the democratic county committee. However, great their interest might have been in the lessecs of the school lands, they had deep interest in the democratic party. which they believed would sui fer if the legislature should finally adjourn without carrying out the pledge of the platform. What relief must come to the lessees under the government irrigation projects must be afforded before next October.
 The statement of the governor was made known yesterday afternoon to a meeting of the lessees and soon after that rumor was set ahoat that an agreement had been reached be- tween the governor and the members of the legislature, who are supposed to be opposed to the administration. According to this rumored agree ment, the senate was to pass the ap- propriation bill with the greatest pos sible expedition and then adjourn. The appropriation bill was not to con tain any provision for the land com mission, which should be taken care of in the land bill to be passed at the ensuing extra session.
 But it was learned that there had been no consultation with members of the senate, at any rate not with any members who are recognized as anti-administration senators. Most ot them had heard of an agreement Of some sort, but none of them had been advised. The senators, even the so-called anti-administration senators, are divided as to an extra session. Some of them are desirous of holding one, for not only the enactment or land legislation, but also for the en- actment of considerable other legisla- tion that failed in the regular session. Others want no legislation at all. They desire only to pass an appro- priation bill and leave everything else to the third legislature.

MINE INVESTORS r ;'
 CONCLUDING BIG DEAL
(From Wednesdays Daily,

(From Wednesdays Daily0
 Plans outlined for large operations OH the holdings of the Big Pine Min ing Company are being crystalized, and the arrival in Prescott on Mon day of Andrew Bjorkman, Andrew Walstren, Andrew Burqquist and r. Omocher, of Minnesota, is significant to this end. The investors in this prop erty are also interested in the Lake Superio- and Western Company, which owns the Mascot mines near Crown King, and during their present tip they will make an inspection of that property.
 In acquiring certain interests in the Big Pine, one of the conditions of this important deal is the removing of the large reduction plant at the Mascot to the latter camp, situated near Senator, as well is certain ex- plo.ation to be carried out on that property.
 The visitors will make final in spection of the Big Pine while here, and among the important movements will be to start grading for the mill, which is to be moved early in June. The Big Pine at present has only a small force employed in development, but in short time three machine shifts begin exploration, a compressor being on the ground, when production starts on larger basis than under old methods. The plant is modern, and has a treating capacity of over 100 tons per day. C. H. Cunning, one of the original members of the Big Pine Company, will remain in charge as manager, under new arrangement closed up some time ago.

TWO CHILDREN BURNED
 TO DEATH IN CLARKDALE
From Wednesdays Daiiv.)

(From Wednesdays Daiiy.)
 Two little children of MT. and Mrs. Charles Bennett were burn ed to death in a fire which de stroyed their home at Clarkdale yesterday afternoon. At the time Mrs. Bennett was visiting neigh bor's and had been absent for only a few minutes.
 Wallace, three years old, was one of the innocent victims, while a nine-months-old baby named Fay, was the other.
 The fire, it is stated, originated from a defective flue leading out of the kitchen. Harry Amster, who was driving delivery wag- on by the residence, was the first to give the alarm, and he instant ly appreciated there were children in the room, whom he attempted to rescue. In his heroic efforts he nearly sacrificed his own life. His head, face and hands are bad ly burned, and his escape from a fate which overlook the children is regarded as miraculous.
 The bereaved parents were formerly residents of Prescott, Mir. Bennett being a deputy county recorder. He is now with the T. F. Miller Company as a salesman.

(FIom Thursdays Daily.)
 From reports in circulation a min ing movement of very much import ance is unde. consideration for the Jersey Lily field, in which the pur- chase and consolidation of several properties is the object of those who are making an extended inspection.
 The investors in that field at the present time have their engineers, an assayer and complete sampling out ft The Blue Dick, Mark Twain, Zero, Hearst, Jersey Lily, and other nearby mines are being examined, and which if taken over, will be me-g- ed into a parent operating syndicate with financial resources capable of large operations.
 The attention being extended that zone at the present time is the first direct effort of capital in seeking in vestment to take over and group the many mines affected, and which if consummated will create one of the most thrifty mining divisions of this county. This movement, in short, is but another illustration of the lively interest being manifested by capital to invest, and in this instance is note worthy as the above field Is mainly of gold possibilities. and with limited development given on many p-oper- ties, offers attractive possibilities.
