broken. In less than three weeks from
the time that syndicate of Clarkdale
and Jerome citizens decided upon the
organization of the United Verde Con-
solidated Copper company it's success
is assured, at least from a financial
standpoint. Nearly all the 100000
shares of pre- organization stock Of
fered at ten cents have been sold and
SO many inquiries have been received
from big eastern brokers who want to
underwrite blocks of treasury stock
when it goes on the market at rs cents
that it is apparent that the issue will
be oversubscribed. Only half a million
shares of treasury are to be offered.
Already subscribers to pre- oganiza-
tion shares are asking when the pool
will be broken. 1t is not to be broken,
Of course, till all the treasury shares
offered are taken, till the financing of
the company is an established fact.
The subscribers have been informed,
however that they will be allowed to
sell pool stock through the company at
the ruling prices of treasury shares.

SHERIFF CASH
DEFEATED IN
GREENLEE CO.

CLIFTON, Ariz., Sept. 21-In one of
the hottest primary campaigns in the
history of Greenlee county, Sheriff
Cash, Governor Hunts protege and per-
sonal representative here was defeat
ed for nomination by A. H. Slaughter
by the close majority of 81. The fight
between Cash and Slaughter was the
most hotly- contested and most eagerly
OF all the races in the ticket the entire
county taking a keen interest in the
result When the first 100 votes from
Clifton were counted Cash had a slight
majority, but returns from Franklin
and other precincts placed Slaughter
in the lead, his final majority being 81.
Cash, it is stated, went on a big
spree few nights ago in Morenci. and
it is reported that he rode his horse
into a saloon and had drinks served
to him while sitting on his horse. Such
proceedings on the part of an officer
sworn to enforce the law in a dry state
had the effect of turning many of
Cash's supporters away from him on
account of his actions. Every effort
had been made by Gov. Hunt and his
supporters to assist Cash in the pri-
mary election, and it was largely owing
to their activities on his behalf that he
was given the official endorsement of
the State Federation of Labor at the
annual convention at Tucson last Aug
ust.

TO ASSIST DEPENDENTS

GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 21.-Dependents
of national guardsmen who are en-
ployess of the Did Dominion Mining &
Smelling company will receive financial
assistance from the company while
away on active service according to a
statement issued by General Manager
P, G. Beckett. The amount of support
the company will give will be deter
mined by the number of dependents
and the circumstances of each indi-
vidual case. Employees whether single
or married will be given their jobs
again upon return from the border.

in the face of the tunnel and point the
hole slightly downward thus gaining
greater depth.
Mining experts say that there is lit
tie doubt of the United Verde Junior
being mine. They point to the great
iron-capped ledge, more than 100 feet
wide, which cuts squarely across the
property, and say that wherever there
is an iron capping in the Verde district
there is ore below. The 1c1ited Verde,
U. V. Extension and Copper Chief, the
three big developed mines of the dis
trict, are all capped with iron. So is
the Calumet & Jerome, only short
distance from the Junior, where a 1000
foot three compartment shaft is to be
put down Immediately. On the strength
of that iron Gaping, Boston capitalists
have advanced half million dolalrs
for the development of the Calumet.
The Human group in the Big Ledge
country which the U. V. Consolidated
will take over If Bethune makes a
favorable report, is owned by George
Human and includes ten claims. HUI
man has shipped several carloads, Of
high-grade copper-g gold-silver ore.
With three propositions like the
Mahurin, United Verde Junior and HUI
man groups, the organizers Of the u.
v. Consolidated do not see how they
can lose. They feel that one of the
properties is bound to make good.

FODDER FOR THE FANS
BY HAP.

Why do nearly all the great out
fielders come from the South? queries
reader. No one knows but it is a
fact that the greatest outfielders in
offensive and defensive strength are
Cobb of Georgia, Speaker of Texas,
Jackson Of South Carolina. Robertson
of Virginia, and Burns of New York.
Which leaves the South with 80 per
cent of the ranking outfield stars In
the same way Chicago leads the land
scape in great catches. The Cubs first
had Johnny King and when he began
to slip Jimmy Archer took his place
The White Sox had Billy Sullivan and
Now Ray Schalk holds forth easily the
greatest catcher in baseball today.
What other city with ten years or
twenty years can show four such
catchers as King, Archer, Sullivan and
Schalk.
Why not alliterative and terrifying
names for baseball players, as we'll as
for wrestlers? For instance there is
Leo Hoernsclneyre who plays under
the mild name of Lee Magee. If he
had only been called Horrible Hoern-
schmeyer the Ferocious Fed" that title
alone might make him hotly terror to
pitchers. To get close to home there
is Al Beaumiller. That monicker
sounds mild and inoffensive. But sup
posing he were named Cannibal Beau
the Cantankerous Catch as Catch Can
Swatter of the Tri-Copper League"
1t might move him to show up the
league pitchers to an even greater de-
gree than he has so far Despite the
late Bill Shakespeares skepticism as to
the value of a name the wrestling game
has demonstrated that a ferocious
monicker seems to produce ferocity.
If Tonneman would only switch his to
Terrible Tony the Agonizing Twirler
Assassin" no telling what might hap
pen.
The rose by any other name may
smell as sweetly but the Terrible Turks
and the others, if they were named Bill
Smith or Pete Brown or some such
pacific name, probably would not draw.
a corporaps guard. There is some-
thing suggestive of effectiveness. in
names like Stranger Lewis" and
.Murderef McLuke". Not that the boys
ever commit any of the entertaining
crimes of which their names call, but
the crowd always has hope.

GERMANY's "LAsT" LOAN

If it is true, as London hears by way
of Amsterdam, that the "last" German
loan is a failure, we have one more
dramatic indication of Berlin's be-
wildering embarrassments.
The returns for the first two days do
not compare with the returns for a
similar time in earlier instances "a
large number of subscriptions have
been received from cities, savings banks
and munition firms, but the public have
not responded"
The government may find means to
increase the pressure on the public, but
its squeezing process cannot go on
forever.

TEACHING AVIATORS

It is to be hoped that the announce
ment OF the army s readiness to receive
and train militiamen in all that con-
Germs aviation means the beginning of
something genuine in aerial defence Up
to this time the situation has been very
trying to those who care for America S
honor. We are always originating
things over here, and letting other ma
tions get the benefit of them.
Germany makes better use Of the sub
marine, France of the aeroplane, than
does the United States of either. Yet
both are American inventions. It is true
a good deal of money has been appro-
priated at one time or another. But the
determination to get results has not
been steady enough nor the direction
intelligent enough.
All the aeroplanes in the world-or
in the air over the World-would be of
no use whatever without trained men
to operate them. Hitherto such train
ing has been either pitifully inadequate
in character or so limited in distribu-
ton as to give no relief to the service.
The army bill provides the money and,
according to General Mills of the militia
bureau, preparations have been made
to train the needed complement of men,
the majority of whom must come from
the militia.
If this means that we are to have
thoroughly effective drills in Platts-
burgs Of the air, the whole nation will
rejoice

JEROME. Ariz., Sept. 21-Eight
inches of native copper, thanked by a
vein of malachite two and half feet
wide and large body of ore has been
struck in the tunnel at the Venture

TALKS ON THRIFT
PRIDE AND PROSPERITY

nor husband penurious. Let her
help him to save his money."-Jus-
stice Greenbaum, of New York.
Some people have the ability to save
at once to satisfy their pride or self
ir drlgence, which is little better thar
not saving at all.
Their economy brings them no near
er the goal of prosperity and an in
dependent income. They simply save
and scrape in order to indulge in new
and more expensive luxuries, or to keeI
up with others, and in consequence
never build up reserve upon which to
draw in future days of need
An editorial writer in a Des Moines
newspaper uters this plant:
THE problem of educating children,
maintaining their health, meeting the
cost of living and keeping up insurance
on ordinary wages, is one which is not
easy of solution and every man of AZ
who has not competence is not al
ways at fault, by any means. The
world would be infinitely better off,
economically, if it were not so hard
for men who are not extravagant to
make mere living for their families
There is truth in what this writer
says. But we believe wonders can be
accomplished by the right kind of CO.
operation in the home-between man
and wife at the start, and later be-
tween children and parents.
There is something to be said also
in favor of swallowing pride, not try
ing forever to keep up either with
Lizzie or the "Joneses," and making
really serious effort to save system
atically to provide for a future capital
of worth while proportions
1t is often found that people can save
when they have to do so. The war in
Europe is proving this. According to
correspondent, boys attending Ber-
lin schools are now Tearing Ten Com
mandments Of thrift.
/. Everybody must save, for only if
everybody saves will Germanys sup
plies hold out.
2. Waste no food, not even the most
unimportant
8. Take time for eating, and chew
thoroughly.
4. Avoid all eating between meals.
5. Eat rye instead of wheat bread,
and be economical with bread
6. Be economical with butter, and
eat cheese. fruit sauces and marmal-
ade instead of butter.
Z. Eat abundantly of fresh veget-
ables so as to save meat, fats and bread.
8. At table call for potatoes in the
skins.
8. Buy chocolates and sweets and
send to the soldiMrs at the front-we
can gladly dispense with these things.
10. In all that you do, remember
that you can contribute your modest
share towards helping create the new
Fatherland that we are all hoping for
Practise self sacrifice and work.
The poor children of London are
being taught to mend their own shoes
This is a part of the program of thrift
adopted by the British authorities as a
result of the war.
Time and time again, it has been
proved that necessity is the mother of
invention. Perhaps if the discouraged
Iowa editor felt that he absolutely must
save he would be able to do it.

EXPENSIVE AMMUNITION

1t is not alone upon the battlefelds
of Europe that ammunition is at high
premium, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. It sounds like a wild tale, but
a brief dispatch declares that the Yaqui
Indians are using bullets Of gold in their
operations in the state of Sonora, Mex
leo. About $50, 900 worth of gold preci-
pilates were captured some time ago in
raid on an American pack train, and
these, say the reports have all been cast
into bullets. Gold, as such, is Of no
value to the Yaqui outlaws; gold as bull
lets is of immense Importance to him.
The Yaquis are expert manufac-
turers Of powder; they mine their own
saltpeter and sulphur and burn their
own charcoal. And they show the
greatest ingenuity in improvising bull
lets and cartridges. They have been
known to make up the latter with match
heads for caps. AS for the former, gold
precipitates are not the only materials
pressed into service. During a former
uprising the aboriginal insurgents used
trolley wire. This happened to be the
same caliber as Mauser bullets; cut into
SuOIG 1tllS GLS, IL UCCdlIlC GCII1Uly Cl-
fective missile
But the idea of using gold for bullets
has touch of high romance, as well as
a touch of the grimly humorous. Dur
ing the Boer war South African far
mer who had three soldiers killed by the
British nodded golden bullets and went
cunning for British officers "They lust
for our gold," he said, "and gold they
shall have" A surgeon s report at the
time states that he had removed golden
bullets from large number of wounded
soldiers, and that they were more nearly
aseptic than the leaden variety.
A boarding school lad wrote to an
uncle for financial aid, and then, feel
ing bit shaky about the impression his
letter would make, added the following
postscript:
"P. S.-Dear Uncle: I am so
ashamed to have asked you for this
money that [ have run after the post
man long way to catch him. My only
wish now is that you will never get this
letter.-Your Loving Nephew
The uncle replied by return mail:
My Dear Nephew am Fastening
to make you happy by telling you that
your wish was granted. I never re-
ceived your letter.-You Loving Uncle.
