patched secretly Saturday, added that
late Sunday evening the department
received word from Berlin, presumably
through the Spanish ambassador, that
the prisoners "would be released short
ly.'

inst short of an ultimatum, recited
the attitude, policy and steps taken re-
garding Germans, German property
and German ships interned here, and
pointed out clearly President wilson's
policy to take no step that could be

that Il taken before meals will carry of
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
Joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladles dis-
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any

From the French front comes the
tale of a night advance to be under
taken with all possible secrecy when
officers apparently caught their men
in the enormous offense of smoking
cigarettes in the darkness, presenting
points of light visible for many hun
dred yards. No man was seen actual
ly smoking, but the officers thought
they saw glowing stubs on the ground.
Closer investigation showed the sup

AS no celebration is planned for
Benson on the Fourth, it was de-

the High School on this date to sew
and knit, asking each one to bring
a box lunch for a noon spread. No
doubt many will spend the day

about forty miles down the river,

The three owners of the mines
Messrs. S. S. Culver, J. P. Hud-

Mr.. Culver going on to Deming to
look after the disposal of the ship

The mines are on the west side
of the San Pedro river, twelve miles
from the famous "Corncob," and
about fourteen from the Apache"
mine of the Phelps Dodge Com
pany. All of the surrounding
country is highly 1nineralized, and
Mr.. Culver states that the group is
on the same ledge as the two mines
above mentioned.
The owners of the property have
been greatly handicapped in max
ing ready and getting out their first
carload. Roads had to be made
over for hauling and much prelim-
mary work of one kind and another
attended to in addition to securing
teams for hauling the ore to Ben
son for shipment by rail. A new
road was made, which shorte1ls the
distance six miles between the
mines and the main road down the
river.
A great amount of development
work has been done on the prop
