WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-Examina- tions of medical graduates were be- gun here today by the National Board of Medical Examiners, for the purpose of furthering operation of a plan for standardiZing requirements for medi- cal practice through a national system of certification. Certificates issued by the board will not carry a license to practice medicine, nor exempt the holders from complying wit hlegal re- quirements in the states in which they desire,to practice, but the board declares the certificates will show high attainment in medical knowledge and it believes thi ssoon will be ac- cepted by state boards as evidence of qualification for license.
 At present there is no general sys- tenn of certifcation. State boards have different requirements and some certification with others The board was formed last year Its member ship includes the surgeons general of the navy, army and public health ser vice.

 A friend recommended Sloan's Lini- ment, citing his own case as evidence of it's effectiveness. Mullen bought a bottle and applied it to his aching limbs. Soon improvement was noticed and he was able to return to business,

WAR SUMMARY

While both the Vienna and Berlin war offices announce merely continu- ation or the fighting on the Transyl- vanian front between the Austro-Ger- - mans and the Rumanians, the Ru- manian army headquarters reports that in the Alt River region the troops of King Ferdinand have occupied sev- eral positions held by the Teutonic allies. On all the sectors of this front, according to Bucharest, attacks were repulsed by the Rumanians, except in the Bursen valley. where the Ruman- ians were compelled to withdraw slightly further south.
 Hard fighting is going on from the west of Lutsk, through Galicia rJ the Carpathian Mountains. In Volhynia, despite fierce attacks by both sides, there seemingly is a stalemate. Retro- grad reports that neither the Austro- Germans nor the Russians have been able to gain an advantage in Galicia, where battles have taken place along the Tarnopol-Krasne railroad, east of Lemberg and to the north of Stains lau.
 Several small successes for the Austro-Germans have been attained in the Carpathians. The big guns of both sides of the Somme in France did the greater part of the work Mon- day To the south of the river, how ever, a small wood between Gener- mont and Ablaincourt and 110 prison CTS and three guns fell into the hands Of the French. A violent counter at tack by the Germans east of Berny- en-Santerre was repulsed by the French.
 On the Macedonian front the Brit ish troops have reached the village of Bursuk, eight miles southwest of De mir-Hissar. Along the Cerna River and ,north of Nidje mountain forces of the entente allied troops attacked the Teutons, but were repulsed.
 The provisional government of Greece formed on the island of Crete has been formally recognized by the entente powers.

JEROME PORTLAND
 COPPER MINING GO.
NOTICE TO THE STOCKHOLDERS

Owing to certain false reports and rumors circulated in Bisbee in my absence, will positively state there is no foundation for these rumOrs. All ask is that the stockholders will write to the manager, A. B. Frame, Jerome, Arizona, when all such ru- mors will be proved false. Not alone does the Jerome Portland own every inch of their property, but there is 10 claim or litigation of any descrip- ton against the property. Also, owing to the formation in the shaft the com pany has installed heavier machinery, as the showing warrants the compa- ny in being prepared for big develop ment. At present there are three shifts of miners working sinking the three compartment shaft with four machine drills or jack hammers. With the consolidation of the Green Mon ster and the Copper Chief lone of the richest mines in Arizona) it has made the stock of the Jerome Portland more valuable. as the Jerome Portland ad- joins both the Copper Chief and the Green Monster.
 The only reason l place this notice in the paper is that the stockholders will know where and how to find out the facts relating to this property. Also. l will be very thankful to any one who will inform me as to the origin of these reports, as I am al ready taking the necessary steps to stop these false representations. T. P. Esmond.

Construction started Friday
morning on modern and up to
date hotel at the place where the
old Commercial was destroyed
by fire in the raid. The dimen.
sions of the new building is
30 80 feet, two stories with
basement, and will be built with
pressed brick.
1t is 10 be first class hOstelry
with al modern conveniences,
steam heat, baths, etc, and will
cost about $4,000, The location
near the depot is all that could
be desired and there is no ques.
ton but that it will be a good
investment for the owner.
Sam Ravel is building the
hotel and is to be complemented
in giving the town this class of
"A building. He owned the hotel
that was destroyed by the band.
its and his loss was not less
than S25, 900 and was not able 10
collect one cent of the insurance.
G. Crisamore has the contract
and will complete the building
just as soon as possible. He
thinks that if no delay is en-.
countered in securing the mater
ial he we will have it ready for
occupancy within sixty days.
That section Of the town was
completely wiped out by the fire,
but IL is rapidly being rebuilt,
and will soon have a better ap.
pearance than ever. A barber
shop was hauled down from
Deming last week and set in
position near the new hotel.

CONTAINS MAP OF
AREA AROUND COLUMBUS

Special interest attaches to re-
port just issued by the United
States Geological Survey by rea
son of the accompanying detailed
map Of Luna County, New Mexico,
which shows accurately the town
of Columbus, and all the surround
ing ranches, the town of Deming
to the north, as well as the noun
tains and other natural features
and the railroads of the area. The
report is descriptive Of the geo
logy and particularly the under
ground water resources Of the
large valley in which Columbus
and Deming lie. The report has
special reference to the hundreds
of wells in the valley, the water
of which is used for irrigation. The
depths Of the wells are shown. and
areas and approximate depths at
which the drill will probably strike
water.
