GREEN MONSTER IS
 TO OPERATE AT ONCE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Attorney C. H. Rutherford of Je- rome, who passed through the city yesterday for Phoenix stated that the Green Monster Mining Company has wheeled into the active class and is ready to begin large development An office mas been opened in Jerome. miners and material are being sent to the field, and very much interest is prevailing over ;he outlook. What point will be chosen for initial devel- opment will be made known in a few days.
 Mir. Rutherford also stated that since the Little Daisy determinations had solved another copper bonanza, the Green Monster from a similar geological standpoint was regarded as only requiring deep development. Al any rate the advent of this new oper- ating syndicate to that belt, is weigh ed with excellent possibilities for proving another big red metal pro- ducer for the Jerome field.

LANSING APPOINTS
 ALL-AMERICAN BOARD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Secre- tary Lansing in his capacity as head of the governing board of the Pan American union, has appointed the diplomatic representatives here of Chile, Uruguay and Panama as com mittee to study the proposed plan for a department of education under the direction of the union. The commit tee will report at the next meeting of the board.
 The plan was suggested at the re- cent Pan-American Scientific Con gress by Eduardo Suarz Mujica, ann bassador from Chile, and president of the congress. It contemplates the maintenance of a pedagogical library and pedagogical museum in which would be displayed all the parapher- nalia of modern methods of instruc- ton. the support of magazine con taining sections in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and a bureau of in vestigation to stimulate the scientific study of pedagogue systems

PRICE OF PAPER GOING
 UP AT A RAPID RATE
(From Thursdays Daily.l

1 The customer would roll his eyes and gasp if you should tell him that envelopes, formerly Sc per thousand are now S6.25, and letterheads, ditto and would begin to talk about send ing to Blank. Book & Co. at Manitou where he can get them cheaper. But he hasn't received Blanks latest quo tation. The printing business is not l the easiest game in the world and with the present unsettled condition oi world politics causing a regular slid ing scale of prices on paper and ma terial, and the slide going only one way-up-it is apropos to quote a few figures from the paper manufac- turer. Not because he sets the price at which the printer sells his product -ne can give it away if he wants to- but he sets the price the distributor pays for it, discounts have been for gotten and (. O. D.'s are quite well known.
 In a circular dated February 2l, af- ter several price lists had been an nulled and others substituted in the last three months, the manufacturers explain why your papers cost you more.' You won't need pencil:
 Bleached sulphite (wood fibre) was  S2.65 cwt.. now S5.50 cwt
 Bleaching powder was 1H cents pound, now l3 cents and unobtain- able.
 Soda ash was 6 cents cwt., now 2H cents pound. unobtainable.
 Resin was S375 bbl., now S6.50 bbl
 Satin white (coated paper) was , cents pound. now 9 cents pound.
 Casein was 61s cents pound, now 20 cents to 30 cents pound.
 Alum was cent pound, now , cents pound.
 Anfine colors was 40 cents pound. now S20 pound and up.
 And other items as bad. Further the chemical manufacturers will not make contracts at any price. These conditions will apply until imports are again resumed or domestic supply de veloped
 Yet the Journal Miner has not in- creased the price of printing letter heads and envelopes or in fact the price of any class of job work How ever if quotations on job stock are again advanced in the near future, it is very likely that there will be pro- portionate hoist on printed products. The moral is to get your job work done now and save money.

NEW TELEPHONE
 SYSTEM PLANS APPROVED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Mayor Timerhoff, City Clerk Whis- man and City Engineer Waara at a meeting held Monday night practical ly approved the entire plan submitted by the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company to the city for the rebuilding of the entire local tele- phone system at an approximate cost of S40,0O0.
 District Manager R. NJ. Buehlcr submitted the plans for approval re- gently and the greater part of the ma terial for rebuilding the system is al ready in the city. When the work is completed Prescott will have one oi the best systems in the State.
 The plans were declared satisfac- tory with the exception of few minor details and Mayor Timerhoff stated last night that the city win probably ask that the conduit carry ing underground cables be construct ed as far as Granite creek instead of Cortez street as the present plans call for. This will be asked by the city with the provision that the expense incurred will not be so great as to cause raise in local telephone rates.
 As the plans stand at present it is expected that the company will ask hearing before the corporation com mission to gain increased rates in the business section of the telephone dis trict. The nome telephones will nor be affected by the building of the new system.

 PREPARING TO RESUME
(From Fridays Daily.)

Arrivals from Mayer yesterday stated that the Pocahontas Mining Company is arranging to resume. and that w. H. Skinner will again be in charge as general manager.
 Production will begin as soon as definite date is set for the Gray Eagle Reduction Co.,, to start up its custom plant, which it is now stated, will take place during March. The Pocahontas group includes what was originally known as the White Spar mine. from which ores were shipped of a very high grade value in gold. The pres ent company has performed severa, hundred feet of development.
 The Pocahontas holdings carry practically the same surface indica- tions that prevailed o1 the Blue Bell, hence the possibilities of deep devel- opment proving another desirable property in that zone. From the mine to the custom works the dis tance is less than five miles.

ARIZONANS IN
 MIX-UP ON BORDER
(From Fridays DailY.)

International complications were narrowly avertcd and the lives of three Arizonans were placed in jeop- ardy when Deputy County Attorney Joseph H. Morgan, Assistant United States District Attorney R. w. Kra- mer and Wild Jack" Halloran, three Knights of Columbus, speeded past the Mexican custom house at Juarez coming from Fl Paso last Monday, according to an Fl Paso paper which arrived in the city yesterday.
 Deputy County Attorney Morgan who arrived in the city yesterday af- ter assisting in conferring the fourth degree of the Knights of Columbus lodge on over hundred Texas and Arizona men at Fl Paso confirmed the report
 Halloran was at the wheel of the car. None of the three men knew that it was a rule of the Carranza off cials that all cars must stop to be examined before going into Mexico and Halloran after reaching the Mex ican side of the international bridge at Fl Paso passed the custom house without closing the throttle. The corporal at the customs house imme- diately sent squad of soldiers after the machine on horseback but they were outdistanced.
 Morgan, Kramer and Halloran at tempted to get back into Fl Paso over another bridge but could find none that was passable. As they re- turned over the bridge they entered Juarez, the corporal motioned for them to stop but they were taking no chances of being locked up in the 'bull pen" so they decided to go straight back to Fl Paso. The cor poral whipped out an automatic and five soldiers with him leveled their rifles at the three men bringing the car to stop.
 The corporal asked the three il they were from Fl Paso. Morgan told him that they came from Arizona. Evidently from former experience with Arizonans the corporal said no more for he permitted the car to pro- ,eed without further examination.

WATSON VICTIM
 OF MEXICAN BANDITS
(From Wednesdays Daily)

w. F. Murray. who arrived a few days ago from Chihuahua, Mexico brought the sad news that among the Is Americans wantonly shot down and horribly mutilated recently, was F. H. Watson, who will be remem- berei as a former superintendent oi the Consolidated smelters at Hum. boldt, during the administration O. General Manager B. H. Be1netts.
 Also among those killed at that time was another resident of Hum boldt, George Mills. who was fore man of the blacksmith department of the Consolidated. Mills body was not recognizable, owing to the bar barous manner in which ai1 corpses were treated, with the exception of Watson. The latter was general man ager Of the Cussic Mining Co.,. and was in Chihuahua en route to Fl Paso, his main office, when all were attack ed and shot down for no reason what ever. Since leaving this section MT. Watson had attained prominence as a mining operator, and was quite veal thy After he was killed his body was permitted to lay o1 the ground, and for some reason not known, was not subjected to the brutal treatment given all others. Mills remains were only identified through personal ef' fects found on his body.
