eording to A. ]. Kisselburg, promoter

drift level expects to strike at any
moment a large and rich body of ore.

it, as anticipated, the stock of the
Jerome Daisy will advance in SYM
pathy, as it adjoins the, A. and A. and
J is in line with the same ore body.

Ir. Kisselburg came to Arizona some
/ time ago and met James Movies, p:esi
lent of what is now the Jerome Daisy,

financing of the property to Kisselburg.
In record time 100000 shares at Is

GIVE RELIEF WAR
 PRISONERS

PEKING. Feb. II. - Russian off ciaIs and the representatives of other entente powers in Harbin. have found much fault with the way the United States has administered war relief to Germans and Austrians in the DOT tions of Manchuria close to Harbin. Complaints have been made that Chas. K. Moser, the American consul at Harbin. has rendered assistance to German prisoners who escaped from Russian prison camps.
 The American position in adminis- tering relief to Germans and Austrians in Harbin is that Harbin is Chinese territory. and consequently United States officials, as neutrals, are un- der obligation to administer to the wants of all Germans and Austrians who are in need, regardless of what party they have taken in the war,

ALASkANS WANT TARIFF PUT
 IN FISH

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The halfbut fishermen of Alaska have ap- pealed to the state department. and to the secretary of commerce and la bor for aid in saving the fishing in dustry i& Alaska from destruction by Canadian competition. The fishermen claim that the extension of the Grand Trunk railroad to Prince Rupert. and the fact that the United States has no tariff on fish is taking the major part of the fishing business of the north away from Ketchikan, and giving it to the thriving Canadian town, the terminus of transcontinental rail road. Secretary Redfield declined the suggestion of the fishermen that he make efforts to have the tariff on fishery products from Canada re enacted. The department of com merce and labor does not hold out much hope to the fishermen, but the officials of the state department will probably open diplomatic relations Awith Canada in an effort to secure relief for the Alaska fishermen.

NATION AT PLACE MEANS ]. ,. BE
 PROSPEROUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Presi- dent Wilson addressed the great dinner held by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in the New Willard Hotel last night The dinner was at tended by business men from every section of the country. who have just completed their labors at the annual meeting of the organization. The re- marks of the President were practi- cally confined 10 his campaign for preparedness. and the relation of the continuance of the present peaceful condition of the country to prosperity and good business. Wilson was lis tened to with the closest attention, and the audience. which was probably the most critical one addressed by him since starting his talking for national defence, cheered him to the echo when he concluded, rising in their places and giving him a great ovation. Wilson announced his inten- ton of keeping the United States out of the European conflict, if there was any way to prevent it without suffer ing the loss of the honor of the Am erican nation. With the greatest so- lemnity he said: This country at present is holding trouble at arms length, the times are dangerous and the government must move with the greatest caution. If we can keep this great nation at peace there are infinite prospects that prosperity will be our lot for many years 10 come.'

DISEASE PLAYS LITTLE PART

LONDON, Feb. II, - The ratio be- tween deaths by disease and deaths by wounds are reversed in the present war as compared with the Boer war. In South Africa diseases was respon- sible for large percentage of the casualties. whereas in the trenches in France disease has been reduced to negligible minimum. The wounds in the South African war were unusu- ally neat bullet holes, which looked as if made with bradawls, while in the present struggle not only have shells and bombs brought new and terrible kinds of wounds. but a highly culti- vated soil full of micro-organisms such as tetanus have added new dan gers to the most trivial kinds of flesh wounds,

The Pre- sident has announced that Garrison's resignation has been accepted Henry C. Breckenridge. the assistant secre- tary, has followed the lead of Garri- son and resigned also.
 Wilson is now personally managing the administration plans for strengthening the defences of the country, and is working out a differ ent military policy as respects the army than that first announced.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Lindley Nj. Garrison. of New Jersey, whose re signation from the Wilson cabinet was announced yesterday, declined to dis cuss the matter in any way He was besieged by newspapermen this morn ing. but nothing was learned from him
 as to the reasons for his act. He left for New York early today. It is practi- cally understood, however. that the reasons for the resignation are differ ences which arose between the secTe- tary of war and his chief, over the ad- ministration plans for increased na- tional defence. Garrison wanted the President to stand firm in the demand that Congress make adequate provi- sion for a permanent army for cOnti- mental United States. He contended that if the President held out he would
 be able to overcome the strong oppo- sition that had developed in Congress, and he asserted that the needs of the country demanded a large increase in our regular army force. The Presi-

REFUSE TO SHIP FLOUR FRON
 AUSTRALIA

MELBOURNE, Feb. II. - The docH laborers in this city today refused to handle the large amount of flour now on the docks awaiting export. The reason given by them was that the price of bread in the country had al ready been raised out of reason so that it was becoming harder for working people to obtain the necessities of life, and in such case the flour should be kept in Australia instead of being exported which would only make conditions worse.

This decision has been reached through an interpretation of the terms of the russian-American treaty. The British have protested, but the admin istration's attitude is fairly we'll de- fined. and no results are likely to en- sue favorable to Great Britain.
