EUROPE SENDS EPIDEMIC

NEW York city is in the throes of epidemic which
seems to have come from the regions of Eu-
rope They call it infante paralysis but it affects
adults, at least adolescents well infants Hun
dreds Of cases of the disease have been reported and many
deaths have resulted The disease is one of tn worst
known to tn medical profession When it does not kill it
is apt to leave many bad after effects 1t seems to spread
rapidly and easily It is hard to quarantine against it.
So serious the situation that the health authorities
of New York have asked the cooperation of the public
health bureau at Washington In their efforts to fight
the spread of the disease the mothers have been asked
keep their children scrupuousy clean to provide them
with individual handkerchefs and to keep them from con-
tact with children who cough Thousands of
children have been sent out of the affected and there
has been veritabe exodus from this city, filling up the
mountain regions of New York state But there are mil
lions in New York who must remain there and run the
chances.
The disease has been traced to Italy, where has been
violently prevalent and where it may have some connec
ton with the war; through the poverty that has brought
upon many of the Italian people It NAV be onlv one of
the many diseases that Europe has to offer to the world
the result of the impoverished condition of the people and
the mcleany surroundings in which they are compelled
to live.

BOB CAT is SLAIN
NEAR BOUNDARY CONE

A bobcat was shot and fatally in
jured about four miles south of town
in the hills back of the Boundary Cone
yesterday by a 22-caliber rifle in the
hands of Frank Bush, a young man of
Oatman, who is going to enter upon a
career next winter as a trapper. He
brought the carcass into town, and
the slayer and victim were easily the
attraction of Main street, where
crowds gathered to see and ask ques-
tons.
The animal was of the largest va
riety, commonly known to fur boyers
as 1ynx-cats," but which, in reality,
are the bay lynx. Up in Oregon bob
cats and coyotes for the past two and
a half years have been going mad by
the thousands, especially the latter,
and all that will keep the disease from
reaching Arizona is the Colorado
river. If it should come and rabid
coyotes came walking down the streets
as they do there, they would create
more real excitement than any mining
strike ever heard Of.

SILVER AND FLoTATIoN

CULVER producers have good reason for watching
with extreme interest the development of the flota
ton process, says the Engineering Mining Journal
Any metaurgca development that will enable silver ores
of lower grade to be worked that will permit other
carrying small percentages of silver to be benecaed at
profit will have influence upon the total silver pro-
duced In the United States and Mexico the SverprOduc
ing mines of the latter unhappy country being largely
der American direction Improvements in the metalurgy
of that metal are particularly interesting to operators
here As fotaon may allow the working of zinc and lead
containing small quantities of silver such
economically profitable under previous conditions the
wide application of fOtation is likely to bring add
tional amount of silver into the market has already
had that effect IN portions of the United States and
when Mexico reaches condition such that her mines may
ton to the silver that will be recovered from base metal
that carry silver incidentally may reasonably be
expected that further quantities will be produced from
low grade ores carrying silver together with possibly
some gold the metal of principal Importance. There
has been difference of opinion to the extent to
which flotaon will be applicable to silver Ores but it may
be expected that low grade shines containing silver in
nection with iron suphideS will be brought within the
range of fOtatOn and that additional amount of silver
may be brought into production from that source The
Mexican silver consist largely of argente that occurs
with iron sulphde and the bulk of the taings losses
silver treating mills may be reasonably said to consist of
finely divided material of this kind that goes waste with
shines. Some of it cannot be recovered economically
concentrating tables and is reasonable to believe that
much OF 1t may eventually be saved by fOtaon methods
In fact not without the bounds of say that
the shines from of this class may be treated
cheapy and with higher percentage of recovery than by
the cyanide process and it is not impossible that otaton
will be largely applied to that work Just the cyanide
process brought within the range of economical beneficial
ton ores that formerly could not be handled at profit
flotanon may be expected to lower still the tail
ng decrease treatment costs and account for the pro-
ducton of considerable quantity of silver that has here
tOfOre not been available.

STOCK TRADING LEAPS
IN GREATER ACTIVITY

The tide is turning on the coast
stock exchanges, with oatman's in bet
ter demand than for a month. Prices
are yet low, but that acts as a stimu-
lus for buying.
For the past two days Big Jim has
been a prime favorite and the leader
of the whole group. Tuesday it re-
corded more sales than yesterday, both
as to number and volume of individual
transactions, but yesterday the price
advanced to 70 strong, making up in
one feature what it lacked in another.
There was special activity in Black
Range 1t made stride of eight
points, starting off at Is and
closing at % sales. There is said to
be something in the wind of an ex-
tremely favorable nature as to its
finances and its plans, which has
caused this sudden activity.
Gilt Edge is very ready seller and
there is buyer for every seller. It
has been rumored for the past few
days that its financial problems have
been solved and that it viii be only
matter of days until it is again work
ing full blast.

IMPORTANT DEALS RECENTLY
MADE ON YAVAPAI MINES

Superintendent William Ellingford, of
the Gold Blossom Mining company, of
the striking of high grade lead-silver
ore body at depth Of 1856 feet. Sink
ing will be continued until the 200
foot level is reached, when drifting
will begin. The property of the Gold
Blossom company is situated six miles
south of Prescott, and was originally
patented for farming purposes.
One Of the biggest strikes in the
history of the Walker district was
made this week on the old Homestead
mine, recently acquired by ]. j. Shock
ley and associates of New York city.
A three foot gold ore body was en-
countered, carrying a good milling
grade in the loose formation. The
strike was made at depth of 70 feet
in the main shaft. The Homestead
iesl in the center of the town of
Walker and was first operated in the
COS by ]. ]. Milliken, when its free
product was treated by an arastra.
The old mine was abandoned when
base ores came in, which could not at
that time be properly treated, and I'M
til its recent reopening, the property
had lain idle for almost third of a
century. The strike in the Homestead
has encouraged many other operators
in the Walker and adjacent districts.
Exploration Planned.
Extensive exploration and develop
ment is being planned on the New
State property in the Hassayampa
district, following a strike made sew
eral weeks ago. The Elk holdings are
to be worked at once. A force Of men
is now employed in cleaning out and
retimbering the old 525 foot tunnel.
The Jerome-Victor Extension shaft
at Jerome is to be sunk about 500 feet
below the present level, 1900 feet,
work to start within a few weeks. The
700 station has been reached in I'M
watering the property, formerly
known as the Haynes property, and as
there is no lateral work below this
level, the unwatering will from now on
proceed rapidly After sinking is
started, it is expected that the shaft
will be put down at the rate of 100
feet per month. Only 12O feet of
prosecuting and drifting was done on
the 1900 foot level, and it is believed
that prospecting of the lower levels
on the mine will disclose new leads
that will change the plan Of operation

DAMAGED BY RAIN

One of the heaviest transforms Of
the year fell in and around Kingman,
the resultant water filling the gullies
full and passing into the valleys in
raging flood. At other points the rain
fall measured several inches during
the day, doing a large amount of good
to ranges.
Several sections of the roadbed of
the Chloride branch railroad was
washed out, delaying trains to late
hour last night. Just how great the
damage was could not be learned.
The storm was general throughout

IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN
FOR MORE CLOVERS
Three States Believe Legumes viii
Help Their Soils and Work Actively
for Greater Paintings.

Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee
have joined hands in a movement for
the enrichment of the soils of the
three states. Each state would grow
more legumes The bankers and bust
ness interests, recognizing that on the
farmers prosperity depends theirs,
ara back of the movement.
For the Campaign the Tri-State Bet
ter Farming Committee has prepared
special printed information. This COM
mittee is composed of representatives
OF the following agencies: The United
States Department of Agriculture,
State Departments of Agriculture, Di-
visions of Extension of College of Ag-
riculture, State and County Boards of
Education, Farmers Organizations,
Farm Bureaus of Memphis and Little
Rock, Bankers Organizations, Bust
ness Mems Organizations, Merchants,
Agricultural Departments of all the
Railroads, the Press, Rural Churches,
Women's Clubs.
The printed information concerning
the growing of legumes Is available
to any one in the state. Every one is
urged to put out at least a small patch
of legumes. Try some crimson clover,
which will act as cover crop, prevent
ing the washing Of the land and which,
when plowed under in the spring, will
enrich the soil.
The entire Legume Campaign is
based upon the fact that legumes will
do what other plants will not do.
Legumes will take from the air the
nitrogen. which, if bought for the land
