THE CATTLE MARKET

KANSAS CITY Stock Yards, Feb. 4, 1917.-The cattle market finished last week little shaky, due to fairly liberal receipts and to war situation, hogs broke 25 to 55 cents, but sheep aud lambs held firm Today with 13,C0 cattle the market is strong to 10 higher, best steers offered 10. 50 to $10 Hogs advanced 15 to 30 cents, top SIP 10, receipts 5000. Sheep recepits were 5000, market 10 to 25 up, lambs TO, ewes $1O.75 prices never equalled here before.
 Beef Cattle
 The main element of strength to- day came from the fact that Chicago, Omaha and other Northern markets are in a storm area, and had light receipts. Nothing very high-class was here, prime steers quotable up to SLY Influence of the war talk was hardly noticeable today in any department of the market, cattle, hogs or sheep. Fair to good steers sold at $9. 35 to s1O. 25. Several lots of medi- um finished pulp fed steers arrived, and sold at 1O.1O to $1O 65, weights from 10S0 to 1234 lbs, load of pulp fed bulls at $S Cows continue firm. sales strong to 10 higher today, prime heavy COWS S9 or better, medium f1eshed weighty COWS, S7.25 to SS, canner COWS around $6
 Stockers and Feeders
 Cold weather put damper on en- thusiasm for stockers and feeders, and prices are no more than steady today A rather large share of the receipts were thin grades, which work ed in favor of buyers leading sale was 300 head of 7O5 lbs Panhandle stock steers, pretty well bred Here lords, at SS. 65, with 20 out at $7. 50. Feeding steers range mostly from $S 50 to $9.75, occasional sales at SIC or better.

AR|z. ID FURNISH I2OO MEN IN CASE
 IF WAR

PHOENIX, Feb. 6-Colonel Chas. w Harris, adjutant- general of the Arizona National Guard, announced last night that he had received no word from the war department as to the part this state may play in case war is declared.
 He stated that the first move prob ably would be to recruit the First Arizona Infantry to war strength. It is probable that all volunteer com panies raised in the state will be as signed to that organization until it is filled. It will require 1900 more men to bring it up to war strength.
 As to the volunteer organizations which will probably spring up in case the president calls for volunteers the adjutant general stated that he was of the opinion tha; they would be in- corporated with the National Guard until such time as it's quota is com pleted and then probably the over- flow will be enlisted as separate iOTSdQlZdJlOuS-
 First Offer Comes from Kingman
 The first offer of volunteers in Arizona to be used in case of war, came to Governor Campbell yester- day afternoon from J. P. Denman of Kingman, who wired the governor that he would furnish company at full war strength after Feb. 10. The governor was much gratified and exceedingly pleased when he re- ceived the following wire, which read as follows: q am recognizing a company of volunteers which I offer ed the state last July. Will be at full war strength after February 10. In the meantime I am drilling.''

GAN PBELL'S FIRST PARDON |S ID
 BLIND MAN

Governor Thomas E. Campbell per formed the first act of clemency as chief executive of Arizona yesterday when he affixed his signature to pardon for Jesus Salcido, a Mexican, convicted on a bootlegging charge from Tucson. The pardon will be- come effective today.
 The case of Saleido is a pitiful one hence the pardon. Totally blind and in serious physician condition as the result of erysipelas, Salcido has been forced to pass many days in the jail at Tucson without the necessary care that his condition demands
 Members of the board of pardons, after carefully Investigating this case and hearing various persons on the matter, recommended that a pardon be granted by the governor. The chief executive lost no time in affixing his signature after being convinced that the act was a worthy one Among those who appeared before the pardon board on behalf of Salcido, were the former and present county attorneys of Pima county and Thomas K. Mar shall, well known temperance worker of Tucson. d

P. ). EXTENSION |S CARRYING ON
 WORK

The tunnel on the Catasco group of the P. D. is now in over three hun died and ninety feet. There is a larg force of men employed driving the same. The payroll of the P. D. is about six hundred month Good ore las been encountered. A wing on a minor vein disclosed good ore in the entire face. The ore so far runs be- tween seven and ten per cent. The tunnel is being driven to intersect the main dike and vein system traversing the property.
 Last week MT. Arthur Weber who represents some eastern parties ar rived to look over the P. D. Exten- sion ground. He has spent the en- tine week in the hills and while he would not commit himself he did state that he had seen enough to wire for his engineers When the engi- neers have checked up MT. Weber's investigations, his parties will place enough money in the treasury of the company to thoroughly develop the claims of the P. D. Extension.
 MT. Weber was especially pleased with the showings on the Cuprite group. The D. C. on their Santa Rosa claims adjoining the Cuprite are uncovering high grade ore Their dumps are covered with ore sprink. led with native copper. It is prob ably the highest grade ore in camp. A road has been constructed to these claims at tremendous expense As soon as the engineers have made their report extensive work will commence on the Cuprite group. F. D. Extension has ample money and will carry on thorough explora- tion work until enough ore has been blocked out to start mining opera tions on large scale.
 f MT. Weller is still in New York. Due to the unsteady market it has been considered inadvisable to list the P D. Extension as yet. But MT. Weller will remain in New York until the opportune time arrives when the stock will be placed on the curb and MT. Weller will return to take ac- tive charge of the P. D. affairs. The outlook of the P. D. was never brighter. And while war scares and peace leaks have delayed matters little things are going right ahead and the P. D. is in position where it does not depend upon the war or any other cause for it's progress
 That the Clifton-Morenci district is one of the largest districts in the state of Arizona is conceded by all.
 There are many undiscovered big
 mines, beyond question. People do
 not realize that there is a payroll in
 this district of approximately six
 hundred thousand a month This
 district will in the near future have
 a boom that will exceed anything ex-
 perienced by Jerome or other Ari-
 zona camps for it has the merit behind lit.

G|LA JUR|ST HANDS
 DOWN DECISION ON BOOZE

Globe, Feb 6.-An interesting de- cision was handed down yesterday by Judge G. w. Shute of the superior court relative to the transportation of liquor within the state. The decision was rendered by the jurist in connec- ton with the case of John Peterson who was found with bottle of liquor in his possession explaining the judges dismissal of the complaint.
 Peterson was known to have carried to 75 feet and it was the contention of the prosecution that such carriage could be reached by the provisions of the recently adopted prohibition to transport intoxicants from one point to another. The defense ad- mitted that Peterson had carried the liquor as charged bu maintained that the man was within his rights inas- much as the whisky in his posses sion was procured legally.
 CO IhO Oy the superior court judge, one may carry small quantity of intoXicants upon ones person, providing the own CT does not attempt to dispose of it, and goes about his business quietly, it being understood, of course, that the possessor acquired the liquor le- gally. However, Judge Shute made l it clear that transporting a trunk or other article containing intoxicants from a railroad depot to hotel, for instance, does not come under the ruling, but on the other hand, is a clear violation of the new amend ment.
 In other words, it is no longer a breach of etiquette to ask friend if he's "got anything on bis hip.''

CLIFTON GAME LOSERS

The Clifton boys basket ball team outweighed by thirty to forty pounds to the man went down in defeat to the Gila Academy boys in two of the most thrilling games ever witnessed on the local court. In the first game Friday evening the score was 40 to 15 in favor of Gila; the second on Satur- day evening 34 to z. The scores, how ever, do not indicate the real merit of the teams as the larger and more powerful Gila boys smothered the lighter high team before they could get started. On larger court the c. H. S. boys, no doubt, would make closer score as they were much faster and had the better team work. Coach Walek has no excuse to offer for the defeat of his team but evi- dently intends to clean up on the New Mexico Normal School team at Silver City Friday evening from the way he is whipping the local boys into shape this week.
 The girls team lost to Lordsburg by a score of IS to 16. The girls seem to be unfortunate in being nosed out by basket. This has occurred in each of the games lost on the local court by them this year. They, too, offer no excuse for their defeat but say, Watch us lick Silver City, Feb ruary 16."
 The big game-''ye women peda- gogues'' of Morenci vs. a similar sex tette from Clifton will mix it at the Princess Thursday afternoon or even ing for the benefit of the local c. H. S. Athletic fund.
