the big new molybdenum mill is
under construction.
The slide came down Red noun

BlSBEE, Ariz., Aug. Is. - This min Ming camp town. which has attracted so much attention recently because of the labor and l. w w. troubles here. is one of the most unique and pictur- esque of the old mining camps of the southwest. Founded by old-time pros pectors who followed Ed Schiefflin. Warren and other pioneers into the Cochise country minerallzed district, Bisbee is built on top of half dozen red hills and along the floor and sides of as many more gulches, The houses are perehed on high knobs, or built one above the ether on the sides of the gulehes.
 Because there are no streets cross ing at right angles in the town. there can be no block number system of

The only way the houses could be numbered would be to start at the postoffice and number in all directions. as there are no system of streets or cross streets

REMEMBER THE BOYS IN CAMP!

A friend of the enlisted men has offered the following SuggeS- tion:
 If you know a soldier lad, write to him. Tell him anything or nothing. But write known the feeling that comes when all the rest of the boys are getting let ter from home and none comes to you. It makes one sick at heart. Girls can do distinct service by writing to their friends and others in camp. And send little gifts too. Send a box of candy occasionally, and some tobacco. But remember the lads. They'er away from home doing strenuous work. We can't feel that you people back at home are doing your full duty if you don't re- member the boys in camp"
 From Camp Funston comes corroboration in the following extract from the letter of a high private of Arizona artillery:
 We are all anxious to hear from the outside and especially from friends back home. To see the disappointed look on some fellows face when his name is not called when the officer dis tributes the mail-my! but you feel like writing him a letter yourself, just for encourage ment."

How to Send Mail to Soldiers.

Recognizing the unusual signi- ficance of the coming Christmas tide to our military, naval and civilian forces abroad, the postoffice department has made special arrangements to effect timely delivery of all Christmas parcels addressed to the Ameri- can expeditionary forces over seas.
 Owing to the unusual distance this mail must be transported, it is absolutely necessary that all parcels be covered with wrappers of sufficient strength not only to resist pressure of other mail contained in the sacks. but to withstand the weight of other sacks of mail which will be piled thereon.
 Each package will be examin- ed at the local office before it's acceptance, and the covering should be so secured as to admit ready inspection.
 Parcel post packages address ed for delivery abroad must be mailed at the main possoffice, and not at the local stations. The postage rates are twelve cents for each pound or fraction thereof, and cannot be sent as registered ol insured mail
 Owing to the great demand for transportation space, patrons are urged to make their packages as small as possible, the limit of weight being seven pounds. Smaller parcels will be given the preference in shipment in order to accommodate the greatest number of persons. '..,
 In the use of Christmas stick CTS, care should be taken not to seal the parcels. Suckers should not be placed on the address side of parcels and to do so will make the parcel unmailable., ~ Such endorsement as Merry Christmas or Do not open until Christmas" may be placed on the wrapper in such man ner as not to interfere with the address.
 The company, regiment or other organization, followed by the words, American expedi- tionary force," should follow the address.
