CFrOm Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 The Black Range will resume op- erations on or about September l, ac- cording to Mitchell Carter, manager of the Oatman Investment company. It was shut down three days ago only for temporary reasons. Manager D. P. Wright had not been away for over six years and wanted short vacation. He went to Los Angeles and will visit San Diego.
 The Chicago people who have financed the company have certain de- tails to complete and Mir. Carter states that there will be no question of that being done by the first or whereabouts.
 In the meantime he is buying all of the stock that he can get at the present market price of 15 and 16 cents and states that he will take any of shares more that may be offered at those figures.

GIVEN HEARING IN
 JUSTICE COURT
IFrom wednesday'e Daily MinerI

The examination of Superintendent Davidson of the Kingman Zinc Min ing company was held in the local justices court yesterday. Attorney General Wiley F. Jones appeared for the state and Judge Carl C. Krook for the defense. The charge was that of issuing checks on local bank with out the necessary funds to cover them.
 The case is rather peculiar, it having been established that deposit of $1,000 was made in the bank, but that it had been taken up to meet certain drafts. The checks were issued to pay men who had been working in the property of the company. It is under stood that the company was being financed by Chicago brokerage firm, but that sufficient money had not been forthcoming to meet the payroll when the monthly checks were issued.
 It is understood that another charge is to be preferred, that of failing to observe bi-monthly pay day.

In one of the fastest baseball games played by either team this year, the Chloride defenders walloped the King manites on the formers diamond Sun day to the tune of to g. Knorr and Ennis, the opposing pitchers, put up a pretty battle but Knorr, the Chlo- rode pitcher, had the best of it as his teammates supported him better in the field than the visiting team did. Ennis.
 The home boys lost no time in start ing the fireworks, for in the first in ming they scored two runs. This lead proved too much for the county seat twirlers to overcome. They did not score a run until the ninth inning, all though they tried hard. The game was hurry-up affair, the Kingman boys not knowing they were going to play till II o'clock in the morning. They rigged up ateam quickly and took their beating with smiling faces.
 The Chloride aggregation deserved to win for it outplayed and outhit it's opponents, getting eight hits to King mans five.
 One member of the Kingman team deserves special mention, for he cer- tainly played ball all the time, the player in question being Ennis, the new southpaw.

SHERIFFS MEN JOIN
 BOOTLEGGERS UNION
tFrom oatman Section Daily Miner

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 The sheriff's office has slipped one over on the Bootleggers' union. Sher- if Lane and his deputies had read about Pinkerton operatives having se- cured initiation into various labor unions. It was not deemed up-to-date to have a new-fangled local union without having with it all the frills that have gone with the greatest unions the world over, so the sheriff gave two of his deputies the wink and they turned bootleggers-nomin- ally-and joined the Bootleggers' union.
 They were after evidence with which to wreak the destruction of the union itself and convict the members indi- vidually and collectively of violations of the liquor laws of Arizona How well this was done and worked out will develop as time wears on after the grand jury session is over with and its report is filed with the su- perior court at Kingman.
 Then it will De necessary for these two Sherlock Holmeses on the sher- iff's staff to uncover themselves as witnesses on the stand and forever more queer themselves as really and truly bootleggers and members of the union.
 The Daily Miners Oatman bureau is free to admit that it lacks data on certain vital points covering the per formances of the two embryo 'Pinks." Elsewhere, it is customary when oper- atives join a union to always have two of them in the same organization. That has been done here, but it is further the custom when they get in for one to carry out the role of a radical, agitator, direct-action fred" and bomb thrower; the other to be a conservative and good citizen gem erally. One or both are generally candidates for the presidency of their union and always seek to control. When the radical one manages to start something and a big strike is about to be pulled off there is always some reason why he four-fiushes and-af- ter passing the high sign between them-there is no strike after all. Both go headlong for the inner circle, which they join la Harry Orchard.
 As stated, this bureau does not know how many of these functions have been borne out in their small details by Lanes two members, this information being served out to them gratuitously for their benefit and to help coach them along and make the cause of their union a success.
 All of which will come out and can be read fully and freely when the su- perior court has some of the grand jury's work before it in the form of trials for what the Bootleggers' union was organized for.

MINING GOOD ORE IN
 SECRET PASS SECTION
cFrom oatman Section Daily Miner)

Better ore than many may imagine is being developed at Secret Pass. It has been known there by all persons who have a knowledge of the coun- try, in general, and of it's mining re- sources in particular, but that does not always include those persons who commonly constitute the public. Infor- nation of a couple of instances of the proving up of high grade in commer- cial quantities comes now from John Garter Anderson, a mining engineer, this summer with the Wrigley Explo- ration company, but now operating on his own account at Secret Pass.
 He is helping F. 2. Wilhelm to de- velop his claims and in a shaft that is less than 50 feet deep they have a three-foot streak that averages S45.06 ton, but which now has pitched out of the shaft. The hole was started on the ledge It will be sunk to the 50-foot point, and there the streak will be picked up in a crosscut. This is only part of the main ledge. It is 35 feet wide and averages $4 across on the surface.
 The other property that requires special mention upon information brought by Mir. Anderson is the Sec ret Pass-Gold Top. It is controlled by Charles S. Sprague of Goldfield, and J. P. Loftus of the Oatman-E -Esper- they have 35 feet of ore that will run S7 a ton or better. Their shaft is down only 50 feet and they have an- other 10 feet of depth in a winze.

BIG JIM LEADS ANOTHER HEAVY
 DAYS TRADING
cFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.)

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner
 Big Jim came along yesterday with as many sales as Monday on the coast exchange. It opened at 87 and ranged down to so during the day, closing with sales at S7 again. There were 25 sales and the total number of shares traded in for the day were over 17,O0O. This was a considerable stronger showing than Monday, when the opening was at 97, dropping to 79 on heavy sales and rallying to S1 .Lly.
 Both days show treat denianI for Oatman's leader when the general mining conditions of the camp are on the upgrade, which from transactions and all reports they undoubtedly are.
 Another remarkable feature is the occasional but strong buying tendency in United Northern. It seems to emanate from within. The other day there was sale of 10000 shares in one block for II cents and yesterday another of 1000 for the same. It looks like the work of one individual and apparently person who believes he knows what he is doing.
 On the whole there was better than average activity in Oatmans. Gilt Edge sold freely at IF to IS. One sale of 25OO Carter was recorded at '. Gold Range sold at 2% and Lucky Boy at 101k.

TELLURIDE ROCK Is
 SIMILAR ID BIG MINES
(From Oatman Section Daily Miner.)


 Specimens of ore from the Telluride Big Jim, Tom Reed and United East tern were placed on display at the Oatman Investment company office yesterday, all in group, in order to ascertain how many persons could pick them out and tell one from another. There were very few who could pick out any of them and fewer who could pick out all of them. The similarity of the rock from all four is very striking.
 Paddy Mullen, for years foreman of the Tom Reed, inspected the Telluride few days ago. He stated that the rock was for all the world like that of the Tom Reed when ore was found. From the appearance he would hardly know them apart.

MORE MEXICAN LEAD
 COMES ACROSS LINE
TBy A..oeiated Pre.. Lea.sd wirel

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 15. - Six shots were fired by Mexican at mem bers of the Second Montana infantry on duty Sunday afternoon as border guards, at the regimental camp two miles west of Douglas, it was reported at the camp today.
 The Mexican, who was apparently an officer, was said to have ridden out of Agua Prieta, followed by another horseman apparently soldier and his orderly. Reaching a point on the road to Naco, Sonora, about HOO yards south of the border, the officer dis mounted, was seen through glasses to take a rifle from his orderly, adjust the sights and deliberately fire six shots in the direction of the border, the guardsmen say. All of the shots fell short of a considerable distance.
 After emptying the rifle, the Mexi can remounted and rode westward at a gallop, followed by his companion. The American sentries did not reply, not caring to waste ammunition at so distant target, it was said.
 The Montana camp has been the ob- ject of attack on several occasions, many shots having been fired from Mexican soil toward it during the last three weeks. It is presumed that the Montana camp has been singled out because it is the only one directly on the border in this district.

 Union church services for the peo- pie of Old Trails, Goldroad and Oat- man will be held at the Oatman schoolhouse Thursday night and will be addressed by Dr. A. W. Atkinson of Los Angeles, an Arizona mission ary superintendent. It is anticipated that there vii be a general turning out of the public. Dr. Atkinson has a fine reputation as a speaker and it is seldom, indeed, that the people of the three towns of the district have an opportunity to join together in one gathering for a single purpose. It is probable that the Old Trails male quartet will render couple of songs.

statement made many days ago that enough of

in the enormous increase in values This makes
the service of the embargo just declared by the
railroads questionable. Prices in the west are

Renewing Submarine Issue.

Activity of the German submarine campaign
has developed the expected difference of opinion
between Washington and Berlin as to the mean
ing Of the pledges made on behalf OF the ka-
ser's government At the time OF its publication
many commentators freely expressed the belief
that it would prove nconcusive, despite the OPP
timistic views of the president that he had
brought about definite solution. 1t now appears
that the Germans hold ideas quite different from
that entertained, publicly at least, by President
Wilson and his advisers. The sinking OF the
Arabia, the Marina and the Palermo has brought
this sharply into view, and new interchange of
notes is impending The situation as developed
only serves to emphasize what was made very
plain at the beginning. that any rights neutrals
might claim would be respected only at the con-
veniencc Of the combatants. War is very seri-
Gus business, and the nations engaged in it are
too busy fighting to spend much time in split
ting hairs refining nicetes OF conduct that
they may be given credit with punctiliously OBJ
serving all the scruplcs that govern international
intercourse in time Of peace Submarine opera
tons will be carried on by Germany as long as
Great Britain and France dominate the surface

How to Get a Home Rule Charter,

In connection with the discussion OF new
city charter for Lincoln, suggestion comes by
way of the Lincoln Journal which may be worth
while considering for Omaha. While Lincoln
has not yet undertaken to qualify under the home
rule amendment to the Nebraska constitution, it
is evidently eager to profit from the experience
of Omaha's failed effort.
Our charter convention here set up as its task
the drafting OF new fundamental law correcting
the evils OF the old one as far as possible and
recognizing the whole city government In so
doing so many different interests were neces-
lriy antagonized by one change or another thai.
taken all together, they made ratification impos-
sblc and rejection left the city exactly where it
was before in respect to charter amendments,
namely, under compulsion to go to the legisla-
ture for grants of authority which ought to be
obtained from our own people
The point made by the Journal is that, while
great diversity Of view must exist as to the
particular points in which the city charter may
be improved, one gain from adopting a home
rule charter is indsputablc. "The calling of
charter convention" it goes on to explain "and
adoption of the charter submitted, brings the city
under the home rule amendment to the constitu-
alter its charter within the scope contemplated
by the laws of the state by its own free act We
should then be done with dependence on lcgisla-
lures for needed changes in charters 1t would
be worth calling a charter convention il it did
nothing but submit the present charter word for
word. Indeed, that might be desirable thing
to do, for then home rule would be the one issue
in the charter election and there would be no
quarrel over changes in the charter to becloud
any fundamental point"
The conclusion is of course that a charter
convention for Lincoln should be called il only
to put the city over on a home rule basis. From
which It follows. that, by the same process,
Omaha might submit and adopt its present char.
ter as home rule document and then forever
after be responsible itself for all changes and keep
control Of its own local affairs as against leeis-
lative interference. Nor would the requirement
OF the home rule status be of advantage TO us
alone; it would also at the same time relieve the
lawmakers of the constant demands on them
for charter tinkerng and permit them to devote
their time and talents to legislative subjects of
statewide importance.

Price Boosters

The people would be well pleased if President
Wilson should direct to the attention of congress
the evil OF price-raising and price-hxing by
greedy .monopolists and middlemen, individually
and collectively. There is no excuse for present
prices OF necessaries. No shortage, over-demand,
transportation trouble, strike or other factor has
operated to give just cause for the prices de-
manded. In some instances the rise results from
cornering the supplys In other cases the inter
mcdiaries between producer and consumer tack
on inordinate profits notably in the coal business,

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, M. d.

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, M. d.
A close connection exists between
these two-cold, weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig of London
has the most followers in the medi-
cal profession in the belief that the
presence in the system of uric acid,
or its salts in excess, is the real
cause of rheumatism. Every one has
recognized the difference in the ap-
pearance of their water as soon as
it gets cold; there is often copious
sediment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the svs-
tenn, which, i'll turn, cause rheumatism
or govt, or creaky joints, swollen
fingers, or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating,
as in the hot weather, and the kid
neys are unable to take care of the
double burden. Another reason is
that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys.
Again, they eat more meat in cold
weather, and some people are so sus-
ceptible that they soon develop rheu-
matism after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously of hot water say, a
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric three OF four times day.
This Anuric comes in tablet form
and can be had at almost any drug
store. 1t dissolves the uric acid in
the system and carries it outward /.
would advise everyone to take Anuric
occasionally, and continue for three
or four weeks, and in that way avoid
rheumatism, govt and many of the
painful disorders due to uric acid in
the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally slim
ulating its action with a pleasant lax
alive composed of the May-apple,
dried juice of aloes and root of jalap.
