 It is quite interesting to know that a well mineralized district so near Phoenix is now coming into it's own, and which will mean g.cater pfosperi- ty for Phoenix and it's yicinity. !, is not generally imowr fact that cnly within the last two weeks the Red Ruve., onf of the old piopel ties in the MhgazireI Mining district. a district which caf be said to be in the heart of the great mineralized belt which extends across the state in a north westerly direction, q property from which considcra ole very high grade ore vas shipped to the amount of several thousand dollars in the past, has now struck very rich body of copper silver and gold ore on the POO foot level. The Red Rover property was favorably passed 1pon by prom incnt engineers before being taken over by an Oklahoma millionaire, who owns the entire proposition and IS not offering any stock for sale An other property of exceptional merit in the same district, IS the Cram noun ain group of claims, located in the same mineralized belt, where there Is a body of ore Of splendid milling grade exposed for over 90 feet in width or the 250 foot level.

Arizona Mines

The vein of the Arizona Commercial has been cut by the Iron Cap Copper company on the soc level. II was cut by a S-loot cross-cut from the Iron Cap main shaft. A sample of the ore and gouge on the hanging wall as- sayed l566 per cent copper. The vein al the 500 level is 36 feet wide and is composed chiefly of iron. On the hang Ing wall there are ? feet of good oxi- dized ore. which appears to be the apex of the body that has proven to be so much richer and wider at the S00 level The Iron Cap shaft has been sunk to 900 feet and as soon as q small station has been cut, q cross-cut at that level will be started Al the Williams shaft conditions are also favorable. The shaf; is down over 1000 feet and drifting continues from the bottom of the winze at that level on bornite ore. which shows no illumination either in size or value of copper and silver High grade ore is coming from the stope above the 500. Especially encouraging is the showing in drift No. 9I2, q sub-level between the 500 and 900 levels. where a body of glance and oxidized ores is being developed and is now feet wide. Or. shipments also have doubled within the last three weeks and the average grade raised.

HURRAH FOR pERslAl

The little town of Persia, nestl-
ing down in the southeast corner
of Harrison county, did herself
proud last night when she raised
$2,728 for the Red Cross. Attor-
ney Peterson of Council Bluffs
was there to address the meeting
and the enthusiasm shown was
remarkable. Eight men gave
500, twenty-four men gave $50,
sixteen men gave $25, nineteen
men gave SIS, five men gave $3.50,
and one man gave 500, making
a total of s2,728.5O given by 90
individuals. The population of
Persia is less than 500, so she
has given more than her share of
the 500, 100000 to be raised this
week. If the other towns in the
county can uphold this record in
proportion to population, Har-
rison county's share will be much
more than subscribed. The Per-
STA ball team is going to start on
a months trip for the Red Cross,
|giving all but their actual ex-
penses TO this worthy cause.

Thursday evening about fifteen
|of the Alpha Gamma Chi girls
took a little pleasure trip to Ona-
wa in response to invitations is
sued earlier in the week by Mrs
DR.. n. II. Martin and Mrs. John
Cope of that city.
About 4:3O the girls were ush-
cred into their private car by
courtesy Of Mr.. Hoover, who was.
SO fortunate as to be con
ductor man.
On account of the very digni-1
fled character of the crowd in
general, a chaperon was consid-
cred unnecessary, but, however,
proved to be quite disastrous, as
several of the young ladies In
sisted upon riding on the observa-
ton platform, and many was the.
young farmer who in an effort to.
rest his weary eyes and soul,
gazed for a moment at the passing
train, and being greeted by the
cheers and waving handkerchiefs
of the heartless maidens, ruth
lessly plowed up many a hill of
precious corn.
However, in due time and with
ravenous appetites, the girls ar
rived in the city of Onawa, and
proceeded directly to the home of
Mrs. Martin, where most delic-
ious three course dinner was
served by the hostesses, assisted
by the Misses Hazel Haldeman
and Helen Hoover The table was
very artistica1ly decorated, the.
color scheme being red, white and
blue. A profusion of crocheted1
|doilies adorned the polished top
of the table and a large table
mirror banked with fern leaves
formed the centerpiece, Red,
white and blue streamers we're
fastened from the chandelier to
the various places around the Ia
BILE, the place cards and nut cups
being decorated in the colors to
correspond. Having fully enjoyed
the sumptuous spread, the girls
proceeded to take stroll around
the town, and when all the sights
had been taken in, they were
escered to the home of Mrs. John
Cope, where music on the piano
and Victorola were enjoyed until
the hour of departure.
The invited guests were Miss
Tia Terry of Onawa and Mrs.
Howard Mansfield of Missouri
Valley.

LETTER FROM WIN. BouLpEN

Enroute Hoboken, June 9.
Dear Folks:
Well, how is everything in the
Valley? We are all quite we'll,
that is, the Valley bunch.
This is sure some trip we are
having. The East is much pref
tier than the west in my opinion.
There are the most beautiful
mountain streams up here in the
mountains. We are just being
called outside to drill, SO 1 will
close for few minutes.
Just got back from a five-mile
hike in the mountains. / saw the
rest of the Valley boys. 1t is the
first time / have seen them since
we left ri Paso.

"trip. We left Ell Paso, stopped at
TT. Worth, Tex, then Parsons,
Kas., then at 'Sedalia, Mo-, then at
st. Louis, Mo-, TT. Wayne, Ind,
Cleveland, o., Binghamton, N. Y,
and our next stop is Hoboken.
see by the papers where
the engineers in France have our
camps done, so I suppose we will
leave in a short time, but it will
take US six months at least to get
ready to fight, and the war may
be over by that time.
went swimming this morning
in a mountain lake. Gee, that
was fine.
The engines that pulled us
over the mountains are called
compounds, and they sure are
some engines.
The Lackawanna Ry. is the
SWEETEST road | ever rode on; a
double track up through the
mountains. | don't know what to
write about, because there isn't
much to write just now. Will
tell you all about my trip when
icOme pack nome.
We went right close to Lake
Erie near Cleveland. 1t was only
about 100 feet from the tracks.
Some water!
Well, dinner is ready, so will
close for this time; will write
later.
Now be good and go to church
and pray for the best. Don't
worry about me, because God will
guide and protect me.
With love to all from your sol
der boy.

The high water mark in pa
triotism in western Iowa was
reached and passed in Modale
Friday evening, when 100 boost
| ers from Missouri Valley, accom-
panied by her splendid brass
band, journeyed to Modale to join
the good people there in doing
their bit for the Iowa boys, now
on their way to France or soon to
lembark.
1t was fine evening, and the
notice was short, and the farm
ers working day and night al
most, an audience of 1000 people
gathered about the improvised
platform to listen to the patriotic
melodies that fell like the music
of silver bells on the quiet eve
ming air and thrilled the hearts
of the people with unwonted en-
lthusiasm.
The Stars and Stripes were in
evidence everywhere. The scene
was made radiant with the softly
cleaning Delco lighting system
furnished by Mr.. Olmsted. The
entire populace of that peaceful,
prosperous village gathered there
for an hours study of the serious
problems confronting US as ma
|tion.
Supt. Cobb presided, r.. s..
ISassaman assisted as secretary.
Editor Sniff as the first speaker
reviewed at length the various
steps by which America had been
drawn into this worldwide
slaughter much against her will,
and in a few brief sentences
praised the people for their 10y
lalty to the flag, as shown by their.
Red Cross membership of $50,
land in their presence at this
Injecting.
C. w. Kellogg followed in a
lstrong appeal to the people to
raise at least $1,000 for the use
of the Red Cross in caring for
Iowa's sons in camp, in bivouac
land on the firing line. The great
audience caught the spirit of
service and loyalty and soon were
vieing with one another in roll
ling up their subscriptions. The
$1,000 mark was soon reached
and passed on the jump, then the
81, 250, the $500, the sf,75O al
most as rapidly as the clerks
Icould record the names. The
lodges gave, the churches, the
Sunday schools, even the chill
dren gave up their penny savings,
wee little tots in arms gave, gray
haired mothers gave, as the peo-
lple shouted their approval, till ii
was announced that the sums
pledged had reached just double
the amount that had seemed i'm
possible at the opening Of the
campaign. It was an occasion
fnever to be forgotten that Modale
a town of probably 500, should in
ia space Of only few moments, OF
half an hour, pledge $4,000 for

of our boys, of Iowa boys in the
