CANADA CENSORS. U. S. MAIL

Wv. Smith, of this city, received
a letter from Canada last Sunday
that had been opend by the censor
and the word censored" stamped in
bold letters across it's face. What
reason the Canadian government can
have for opening Mr. Smiths mail is
hard to figure out. Perhaps it fears
that Mr.. Smith has a dreaded Zeppe-
lin stuck away in his back yard and
that early some fine morning he will
soar over Winnipeg and lombard the
city from the sky. Or perhaps it is
submarine attack that is feared,
now that the water is high and it
would be an easy matter for Mr..
Smith to float one of them "pesky
things" down Snake river and Red
river ito attack Winnipeg by torped-
oes and guns. Well, who knows what
our peaceful and inoffensive Mr..
Smith may have up his sleeve, and
the Winnipegers, to be safe, better
scrutinize carefully every inch of sky
and every drop Of Red river water
from now on until the end of the
war.
According to the Minneapolis Jour-
nal this morning the Canadian censor
has also been guilty Of opening U. S.
official mail. ). This really is more
ffoffsious and serious than opening Nh,
Smiths mail, and were the discour-
tesy'', not to say "offense", practiced
by some other country, Germany for
instance, one could expect protests
and notes galore from the present
administration: We fail to see why
Canada should suspect any correspon-
dence of U. S. officials.

Why Lead Pencils Have No. Lead

Do you know that lead pencils are
not made with lead? Long long
ago lead was used for this purpose,
and the continuance of the name is
misleading, but illustrates the per-

To-day lead pencils are made with
graphite and have been since this
substance was discovered in 1865
It is one of the forms under which
carbon occurs in nature. It is soft

Does Advertising Cost Money.

Speaking of advertising, here is
what some of the big publications
charge for their space: Ladies'
Home Journal, $500 a line, $104.00
an inch, and $4,000 for a full page
each issue. The back cover page
sells for $4,000. A full page adj
vertisment in the Saturday Evening
Post costs $4,000 and the back cover
sells for $1,000. The center double
page in colors is $4,000. An ex-
change says the rates are not that
high in the local paper but that the
local paper as an advertising med
ium is the best medium possible fol-

Court House News

The sheriff's Office is busy sending
out personal property statements to
delinquents.
Weekly journal-miner., 1916-03-22

Spring Green and Lincoln. Each of the properties mentioned has pro duced upward of S500,0O0 worth of gold and silver ore under the most adverse mining, milling and shipping conditions-conditions laid upon the operators by precipitous grades, in adequate mining appliances and in- efficient ore reduction processes. The two last mentioned are of the obso- lete past, but the steep grades are the handiwork of Nature and can not in all instances be overcome except at p1ohibitive cost. By the foregoing is meant an excessive cost not alone for road construction, but for freighting as well. That the ores of the Brad shaw mountains have been profit makers under the handicaps mention ed bespeaks eloquently their inherent value, and quite as eloquently the fu- ture Of the Bradshaw district once the Wheeler tunnel taps the ore bodies at depth.

JOHN LAWLER IS
 CALLED OVER THE RANGE
(From Saturdays Daily)

Announcement was made yester- day of the death of John Lawler. which occurred Thursday night at a sa1itarium near Los Angeles, where the deceased had been under special treatment since last Fall, for an af- fliction said to be akin 10 miners consumption.
 In recent years Mir. Lawler had been in poor health, and his last visit to Prescott was less than six months ago. His condition, apparently, was improving from the tone of letters re ceiveJ, until the telegram addressed to his business agent in this city, H. R. Wood, brought the sad tidings of the end taking place. Mir. Wood is in the Hillside country, where also are three brothers of the deceased, William, Michael and Daniel Lawler.
 Jack" Lawler, as he had been ia miliarly known for very many years, had been a resident of this county for nearly 40 years. Early in life he started into the field as a prospector, and miner and first came into prom thence through his discovery of the famous Hillside mine of Eureka dis trict, and later its sale for a large sum, from which he received a small fortune on the first payment made. His holdings on Copper creek, now known as the Bagdad Copper Co.,, also enhanced his financial rating ma terially, and at the time of his death he was considered one of the richest men in this section of the State. Law Ter was quite generously inclined, giving freely and quietly. He had never married. He was Mason, and was affiliated with the local lodge. He was born in Illinois g years ago, and leaves besides three brothers, ether near relatives. What disposi tion is to be made of the body is not known. but it is believed burial will take place in this city.
