SOLICIT HELP IN
 ASSISTING POOR
Methodist Ladies Aid Society Engaged in Worthy Eldea-
 vor to Aid Unfortunate.

At meeting of the Methodist Ladies' Aid held on Thursday last, it was decided to assist the Relief As. sociation in a very practical manner. sewing for the poor children in the District, especially the Mexican chil- dren of school age. The ladies will meet at the headquarters of the AS. sociation in Central School Building, on Thursday next, and invite any and all ladies in the District who are in terested and can give time for this worthy object, to help repair clothing that is sent to the Association but which requires much attention before it can be used to good advantage.
 Donation of clothing for the same purpose will also be gratefully re- ceived, and will be called for if the general secretary is notified. Many donations have been sent in during the past week, for which the Asso- citation is grateful.

''DAMAGED GOODS" IS
 GREAT AT ORPHEUM

In connection with the production of Damaged Goods" at the Orpheum which opened last night and will be shown again today. it is interesting to know something of how the picture has been received in other parts of the country. The following from Portland Ore. is particularly in point: "C. J. Kerr, manager of the Portland, Ore. branch of the Mutual Film Co, held a private exhibition of this fearless treatment Of the subject of one of so- ciety's greatest evils before the Oregon Social Hygiene Society, with big membership of representative business and professional men. At the close the following statement was made by Dr. Calvin s. White7 expressing the feel ing of the entire board: 'T am amaz- ed at this picture It is incomparably superior to the play version, and is handled with restraint and delicacy, and is undoubtedly true in depictine conditions" The Portland board of censors passed the picture unanimous iy, but placed ban on the showing of it to children under sixteen. unless ac- companied by their parents. The sec retary of the board made the state ment that she would have her fifteen year-old son see this picture if shs had to snuggle him into the theatre to do it.

PETTY CRIME ON TIE INCREASE SINCE WAR
 STOPPED IN SONORA
Much Thieving and Burglary Encountered by Officers. In All Cases Old Mexico Mex jeans Are Involved.
TO SMOKER

TOMBSTONE Jan. 29. (SpeciaD- the commission of crime of the petty nature since the war has stopped in Sonora by MeXicans is very evident While the war was on there were very few arrests made among the Mexicans for burglary and petty larceny, but during the past few months it has ma terially increased. There have been more cases of larceny and burglary against Mexicans during the past few weeks than for a number of months. Nearly all of the burglary cases that have required the attention of the court have been of this nature.
 Most of the defendants are young looking and will average about twenty
 five years in age All of the defend ants admit they have recently come out of Mexico and have been serving with one side or the other in the war that has been going on. Most of the defendants were brought up from Douglas but other places in the county have contributed their share There is hardly day passes that the Sher- frs office is not notified that some place has been broken into and proper ty stolen. The work is not the work of professional burglars as the articles stolen are usually clothes and small Very little jewelry and silver ware or things of that sort were taken. That the present winter and spring promises to keep the officers busy con tending with this type of crime is very evident.
 There seems to be some sort of an agreement among this class of thieves that whenever two or more of them are caught together, one of them will take the blame and allow the other to

 The Benguet region in Mountain province will undoubtedly become an important contributor. The 10-stamp mill on the Headwaters property is be- ing proftably operated under lease. The Acupan Mining Co. is assembling a 3-stamp mill on a claim. which is known to be good, on Batuan Creek and the new 1O-stamp mill of the Ben guet Consolidated Mining Go. is rapid ly nearing completion. Twice previ- ously floods have carried away the mill on the Bensuet Consolidated property so that the neww mill is the third to have been erected.

CROWD BREAKS INTO MOOSE HALL ID FIND
 MINSTREL REVERSAL
Much Noise and Exceptional
 Actions Excite Curosity of Pedestrians. Principals of the
 Cast Cause the Trouble.

Quite a crowd gathered last even ing in front of the Moose Home, won dering what the tumble of noise, is, suing from the interior of the build- ing could mean. After some hesita- tiOn entrance was forced to the lodge room and it was found that the aspir- ing principles of the minstrel cast were trying out their various claims.
 George Reardon, Thorleif Olsen and George Ludwig were in the rumps and made quite a presentable argu- ment. They were rendering their monologues, the duets and decologues with vehemence before Director Best, when the crowd burst into the room.
 It had been an ample showing for the leader, however. who awarded the end mems seats to Reardon and Olson, respectively. In explanation Best de clared that though Ludwig's voice war far superior in tone and range (particularly range) his appearance would not meet with approval of the very appraising and discriminating Bisbee public; hence the selection Of Reardon and Olsen, both of whom are, like Clancy of the song, sweet, neat, handsome, and fair"
 But aside from all slapsticks and puns the Moose minstrel is coming fine. In the words of the Director: Tt is swimming along.
 Tonight at the Moose Club a smok- CT vii lbe held and the plans for the affair will be discussed at length. {.

go free. This has been evidenced in three cases that have come before the court during the past week. In every instance after one of them has told that they were both implicated, he would then state that he was the gull ty one and endeavor to allow the other to go free. The younger of the two in every instance seems to take the blame.
 Reports of this sort of thefts have been received from Douglas. Bisbee, Apache, Gleason, Bowie and Benson during the past ten days.
 Bids For Election Supplies
 That the regular election is approach ing is evidenced from the fact that the Board of Supervisors is asking for bids for the furnishing of the supplies that will be used at both the primary and general election to be opened at it's regular meeting, to be held on Febru- ary '. The number of supplies asked for will be materially greater than was used two years ago from the fact that there will be greater registration.
 The election law that applied then will govern this year and will call for the usual nomination petitions for the primary. The only material change is that made in the registration law that requires the person registering to state his party affiliations so that his registration blank at the time he goes to vote at the primary election will show to which party he belongs and he will be given ticket of that party at the primary election. This law was passed by the last legislature on ac- count of the fact that at the last pri- mary election it was charged that the Republicans, in great part, voted the Democratic ticket in order to nominate parties that they thought they would be able to beat in the general election. Samples of all of the supplies that are to be used are now in the possession of Clerk Karger of the Board for the inspection of prospective bidders. Bids for the other county printing and ad- vertising will also be opened by the Board at the same time.

MINING IN THE PHILIPPINES
 FORWARD
Organization is Formed in the Islands to Promote the ln- terests of the Industry in That Part of the World.

The operators of fourteen of the
 leading gold-mining properties in the
 Philippines have recently organized themselves into an association 10 be
 known as the Philippine Mining Asso- tion, says the Far Eastern Review. The purposes of this organization are
 to bring accurate information concern ing Philippine mining before the pub lie both locally and abroad. To this end the society will publish bulletin for free distribution, to be issued from time to time, and will attempt to fur nish authoritative information concern ing Philippine mines and mining con- Gitions. It is hoped that one result of
 this publicity will be an increased in- tarest in fUcal mining on the part of American investors. IL has not been possible up to the present to interest any large American capital in Philip pine mining ventures. The various concerns now operating were financed either locally, on the China coast. or in Australia and New Zealand. Judge Frank B. Ingersoll, general manager of the Guamos Placer Co.,, managing director of the Malaguit Dredging Co.,, and an official in several other organi- zations. is president of the. Association.
 Another line of endeavor on the part of the organization will be an attempt to counteract the tendency toward in creased taxation of mines. which was manifested in the last legislature, by educating the public to an acucurate knowledge of Philippine mines and mining. so that they may be in po- sition better to jurge as to the fairness of increased taxation. A tax of 1-2 per cent was imposed on the gross out put of gold mines after the first of last January. The original law provided for tax of per cent of the gross out put Of precious and semi-precious met als, but after a series of public hear ings by the committee to which the bill was referred. the tax was diminish ed to 1 1-2 per cent and imposed on the output of gold mines only. Since , the bullion from most of the mines car ries small proportion of silver, the .ax applies to silver as we'll as gold n practice Mining men generally op- posed the taxation on the ground that he industry was too young to survive without serious injury. As it works ,ut in the cases Of one of the larger the increased taxes amount Q about 1-2 per cent of the total cap taIiyatiOn

Gold Mining.

In spite of adverse legislation. how ever. the last few months have seen much advance in the progress of gold mining. The Philippine production of gold for the year 1904. according to the figures prepared by the Division Of Mines, Bureau of Science. was P2,- 349. .267. an increase of nearly 36 per cent over the production for 1913. The figures given out by the Director of the United States Mint for the gold production of the Philippines in 1914 are P2,120.OOO. a sum that probably does not include bullion in transit nor bullion sold in Europe and Japan.
 More than 90 per cent of the Philip pine production came from lode min ing al Aroroy, Basbate, where four mills with a combined capacity of a. bout 300 tons daily are in operation. The seven dredges in the Paracale- Mambulao placer region yielded more thon PI.OC0. GOO in 1914 The larger part of the remainder of the output came from the Mountain province, where one 1O-stamp mill. two S-stamp mills. ard one 5-ft Huntington mill were operating during a part of the ! rear.
