SYRIANS ARRIVE
 AFTER HARDsHIpS

DOUGLAS. Nov. 21-Driven from their homes by the fear that Villa would execute threats he had made while in Guerrero, Chih., a little
 ncre than thirty days ago, to kill all
 'greigners, a party of fourteen Sy- .ians composed of men, women and children, arrived in Douglas yester-
 day. At their head was Jorge Jat-
 ar, formerly a prosperous merchant of Guerrero, now practically began ed.
 Jattar and his family group left Guerrero about thirty days ago, after Villa, at the head of band of 300 men had raided it. Villa personally directed the footing of their estab- Iishment The bandit leader was walking with the aid of a crutch and appeared to be very lame, Jattar said. He was apparently greatly cnraged at all foreigners and his at titude toward Jattar and the other Syrians was so menacing that they lost no time in making their escape on horseback. Of the personal pos sessions remaining to them, the. party was able to bring nothing ex-. cept little money and a small quan. tity of food.
 The trip across the mountains df- viding Chihuahua and Sonora was . hardship which none of the party will ever forget, particularly since it was shared by several small chil- dren, the youngest of whom was three years old.
 Upon arriving in Nacozari Sunday, the Syrians lost no time in purchas- ing new clothing. When they arriv- ed in Agua Prieta yesterday at noon they came Immediately to the Amer ican side of the line, Jattar exhib- tied approximately $500. which he said was their entire wealth.

-PL.CA OF GREAT
BATTIESHIP ARIZONA

.LMA, Nov. 21-Two members of -a Fourteenth infantry band, whose ames withheld from print. have evi- .suced remarkable ingenuity in re- ,,roducing in wood and steel an exact duplicate of the battleship Arizona, nd the article is attracting great ., al of attention. The artists took large photograph of the great fight ng vessel. together with a printed description, and modelled what they ieclare, and what seems to be. a per feet replica in every minute detail. md they made the ship from a solid block of wood, the masts and other araphernalia being composed of -teel wire, the whole model being about 20 inches in length and pro- portionate in width. Every turret, very gun, every port hole, every last-in fact, each and every &C., :Jutrement possessed by the battle ship is also possessed by this won
 rful model. There is the bridge, he five searchlights, the wireless telegraphy apparatus. etc, in perfect
 rm. One of the notable features
 this work of art is the perfectness the mechanical genuis displayed
 tn reference to proportion, and the
 nee displayed in the handiwork n every other possible detail. The 'Ieel is painted bright red and the hull and balance of the vessel bears he regulation batt,eship color, gray. re boys worked three months on IFS wonderful replica, and now they have it for sale.

EXPOSED REEF" MINE
 GREAT TUNGSTEN PRODUCER

BENSON, Nov. Is-Mr. O. T. Smith, a prominent mining operator. passed through town Wednesday evening on his way to Dragoon from his tung. sten mine in the Huachucas, about forty miles south of Benson. on a business trip of few days.
 In reply to inquiries MT. smith gave an account of the work on his Huach- uca property.
 The mine, situated twelve miles from Hereford and known as the "Ex- posed Reef" has been worked for gold and silver for several years. but he owners did not find it the bonanza they expected, so things slowed down around that camp and the mine was beginning to be looked upon as a failure. About this time Mir. Smith. after an examination. took a leasing bond on the property from A. Stein felt of Tucson. who had control of 1t, and soon afterwards interested a New York syndicate. The new people were looking for tungsten and want ed the mine for the tungsten it con tained. Smith assigned his leas- ing bond to the new company. which at once paid down s1n.ono and begun placing. machinery on the ground and preparations made for building a new mill to handle the ore. Things were progressing nicely until the sudden drop in tungsten a few mcnths ago, and up till September of this year. At this time the company decided to relinquish its rights. which again threw it into the hands of MT. Smith, who decided to go ahead with the de- yelopment himself. He has about completed the reduction plant, com posed of four concentrators, a Hartz jig and everything necessary for the prompt and economical handling of he ore. Twenty-Five men are at work and the plant will start up in sah saFN A1 ha sAh fc strictly scheelite. a combination of lime and tungsten, lies in great mass es that can be handled at the mini. mum of expense and loaded upon dump cars. The gold and silver con. tent Of the ore is of very considerable value, states MT. Smith. and will be saved in the reduction processes. He also states that out of the twenty five men working, three are employ ed in breaking and sorting 70 per cent ore in amount sufficient to pay expenses of the entire outfit, and this is a mining proposition turned down by every mining expert that had ever gone in to look at it, one man declaring it absolutely worthless"
 Mir. Smith. who is also largely in. terested in mining property around Johnson and Dragoon, claims to be the original locator ofthe first paying tungsten mine in the United States, the Dragoon tungsten mine, now own ed by the Primos Chemical Co., a Pennsylvania concern. He has been connected with this company in one capacity or another for about twenty years, and is often referred to as the Tungsten King"
 It'may be mentioned that a mining syndicate is considering the purchase of the Huachuca property at a big round sum, but as yet no deal has been closed.
