MINE DEAL REPORTED MADE
 IN BRADSHAWS
FAMOUSLY KNOWN WAR EAGLErGLADIATOR GOLD GROUP TAKEN OVER BY NEW OPERATORS.
fFrop Sundays Dailvl

Reports were in circulation yester- day, apparently founded on reliable information, that negotiations be tween the owners of the War Eagle Gladiator mines and the Bradshaw Development Company had terminat- ed in the taking over of the above group, situated near Crown King.
 The buying company previously ac-
 uired the Wildhower property, and operations at that point are under headway. This move is considered one of the most important ever made in the Bradshaw country, the War Eagle being extensively developed and chased as an attractive proposition, having a productive history which lates back originally to over 40 years ago. It will be consolidated with other holdings of the buying com pany, and extensively operated. The -erms of the deal are not given pub llclty, but from the prominent rating of the two mines involved 1t is evident large deal has been closed up.
 D. B. Gemmill, a principal of the purchasing syndicate has been in the city for the past week to close details incidental to the deal The sellers 're Lester Jackson and T. c. Norris

Armor Plate Factory Bill Passes

The Tillman bill to provide for the
erection or purchase by the govern
ment of an armor plate factory at
a cost not to exceed 81, 600, 600 was
passed by the senate late Tuesday by
a vote of IS to %.
Democratic senators supported the
bill solidly, regarding it as one OF
the important measures included in
the national preparedness program
now being fastened TO completion ..
Nine republicans joined with the ma
jority in voting for the bill. They
were Senators Borah, Clapp, Cum
Minis, Gronna, Kenyon, Norris, Poin-
dexter, Sterling aud Works.
Passage of the measure in the
House is regarded as assured. Ad-
ministration leaders are planning to
bring it up soon after passage of
the army reorganization and immf-
grafton bills.
The bill, which has the approval
of the administration and Secretary

that it would force the private plate
manufacturers out of business at a
time when they are most needed by

Senator's Swanson, Reed and Till

the private manufacturers had never

substantial brick buildings were
RACED by the fire, which was famed
by a brisk south wind.
This section has been without rain
for more than fifty days, and the
frame buildings were quickly con-
sumed. The Paris fire department
was powerless to stop the on-rushing
flames. Scarcity of water also was
an impediment.
Just how the fire started was
not known. The compress, with
hundreds of bales of cotton, was first
consumed. The fire then spread to
adjacent residences, built closely to-
gether and of light frame construc-
ton.
1t is eighteen blocks from the
compress to the center of the bust
ness district. This distance was
swept by flames and laid in ruins
in less than an hour, the fire leaving
in its wake a path from one to three
blocks wide. A total of twenty-seven
blocks comprised the burned area
in the residence district.
Sweeping almost due north. the
fire reached the public square, on
which large business buildings face.
On these are located the exchanges
of two telephone companies and one
company. Telephone girls
were forced to flee from their posts.
The chief operator of the TELEPHONY
company risked her life to go back
into the burning exchange to rescue
the company's books and records.

ears an dcigarets who are alleged to
have been evading the law have been
brought to the attention of govern
ment officials. it became known IN
New York Tuesday in connection
with the wholesale arrests of manu-
faeturers accused of misusing or rail-
inc to use internal revenue stamps.
Officials of the department of in

men had peer defrauded of millions
of dollars in fees.

The charges of collision have CONF

facturers, some of whom are said to

consumers have been defrauded, &C

factories raided, boxes were found,
he said, which originally had con-
tanned expensive imported cigars, but
which had been refilled with an in

side. These cigars. he said, were
sold over the country as genuine i'm

turers in New York on charge of de-
frauding the government of internal

all over the country.
Under the law cigars are taxed
from rs cents to SO a thousand and
