"a check for that amount on the Man

1t over to the clerk. Not being per-
sonally acquainted with Earnhardt, the
clerk made several inquiries. and the
stranger protested that the check was
good and that there was more where
that came from. A phone message to
officials OF the bank indicated that
Earnhardt had made a mistake. StiIl

street squad, was asked to accompany
the persistent stranger to the bank.

nothing had been done between August
1919, and June. Of this year. but Gen.
erai Croxier admitted that only the test
had been carried out. eli said $12.-
GOO 600 would buy about 10000 or H.
600 machine guns. and that $4,000 guns
would be needed for American infantry
forces as now planned.

the generals attention that yesterday
he blamed congress and the labor situ-
alton for the delay. yet all the ap-
propriations hsd no. been spent, Ge;--

mean to criticise congress. that apr

years ago to be of use.
Senator Hitchcock drew the adm:s-
sion about the reduction In rife pro-
duction. General Crozier said 1t was
due to manufacturers allowing their
labor to become separated. Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts,. asked If this
was not gross neglect" on the part OF

had been kept on payrolls at extra ex-

PROCEED WITH
RUSH IN LOCAL COMPANIES

Enlistments for the two companies
of the Third Virginia regiment, which
will be mustered into service tonight
at the Grays' armory, have been go
ing on at a rapid gate in the last
few days. The two companies that
will be mustered in tonight have prac-
ticaliy their full complement. That
one recruiting at 81 East Broad street
last night reported ninety-three enlist
ments. with several prospective cam
didates who will undoubtedly fill out
the necessary allotment.
The other company. the names CT
which have not yet been designated,
has a full complement and is now
awaiting federal inspection and mus
tering tonight. The company being
enlisted by Roderick Maybee has not
yet recruited the required number and
will be mustered in at later date.
The Twelfth coast artillery late last
night reported that ninety-five men
had been enlisted by them and that
they had no doubts but that the full
complement would be had by the time
for mastering in tonight. This Is the
last day that a drafted man may VOL
unteer, and with this incentive be-
fore them many are expected to apply.
The mastering in services and fed
! eraI inspection will take place in he
i Grays' armory tonight at $50. The
enlisted men are all requested to be
on hand at 1880 in order that all may
/ be in readiness for the affair at $50.
( No official announcement as to who
will be sent by the federal govern
ment to muster these units in, but
| It is generally stated that Captain f,
f. Bennett. of the coast artillery at
| Fortress Monroe, who inspected the
/ Blue company Tuesday night, will also
conduct the inspection tonight Colo

New Cornelia Copper company is
running away from all previous rec
ords made by new copper producers
in Arizona in point of speedy attain
ment TO maximum output and full ef-
ficiency in operation OF plants. COrne-

pounds of copper last month. This
month it is very likely 10 cross the
1000 900 pound mark.
With $500. 900 pounds output for No
vember. Cornelia exceeded its rated
capacity. which was fixed at 5000, 900
pounds in all advance statements with
reference TO its plants. These ad-
vance statements mentioned $500. 900
pounds as a possible attainment from
the rated capacity. This has been ex-
ceeded within the first six month of
operation BY nearly a half million
pounds and will be further exceeded in
all likelihood by the December figures.

District Gains
Great HeadIUdy

Under the stimulus of war needs
and the enthusiasm of an all-Ameri-
can camp wherein loyalty to the gov
eminent is the first and last word, the
Warren District in the last quarter
OF the year has made more Roadway
with the Independent development OF
new ore areas than since the days of
the Bonanza Circle boom. as far back
as 1905.
Leaving out of consideration the
great work Of development which the
Copper Queen is rapidly bringing to
the point of making large new pro-
duction from Sacramento Hill, and
the large new development it is pre-
pairing for through the Cochise shaft,
/ territory. and also leaving out of con-
sideration the new Campbell shaft OF
the c. & A. which is destined 10
open up great, new country and will
bring vast deal of ore into the min

new work of much promise. some Of

Throughout the district there is

miner in the district sees vastly in

to feel that there win be continuance
