Executive Department
State of Arizona.

Following the custom which sets
aside the first Monday of each Sep
tember, as day upon which Labor
may be commemorated by means of
parades, meetings, festivals and other
manifestations of respect and honor
to it's dignity and accomplishments
for the benefit and advancement of
mankind:
l, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of
Arizona, under the authority in me
thus reposed, do hereby declare and
proclaim as legal holiday, Monday,
September the third, nineteen seven
teen, to be. duly celebrated as afore-
time.
In this most critical hour in the his
tory of the United States and the civ
ilized world, the hopes and fears of
humanity center inevitably upon the
attitude of the forces of Labor toward
the achievement of that highest stand
ard of efficiency, without which Vic
tory is impossible.
Therefore, this day affords most
fitting and timely opportunity to take
stock of the resources of brain and
hand, to consider unselfishly how best
we can substantially evidence our un-
failing support to those who will, at
that very time, be mobilized to do bat
tie for those principles of liberty,
equality and fraternity which have
blessed American Labor and borne it
upward to it's present mighty status.
Arizona's responsibility to do her
part in the present exigency lies equal
ly upon every member of our citizen
ship. Shall we not bury such differ
ences as molest our present industrial
progress, upon which so vitality de-
pends the success of the conflict,
straining our every nerve and sinew,
without thought of self, profit or prop
aganda, until we shall have won that
to which we strive-worldwide de-
mocracy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Great Seal of
the State of Arizona to be
(SeaD affixed.
Done at Phoenix, the Capt.
tai, this 9th day of August,
A. D., 1917

JANEY HAS DEVICE
FOR MILLING ZINC

w. H. Janey, well-known in the Ray
and Hayden district, and former SUI
perintendent of the Chino mill at that
place, and now president of a COM
pany operating in New Mexico, has,
according to the Ell Paso Times, in
vented a new device in milling zinc
and other ores characteristic of that
district, and has been notified from
Washington that his patent will be al
lowed. While Mr.. Janey is consid-
cred one of the most competent and
experienced men in that line, he mod
estly disclaims having invented any
new process of ore treatment, as has
been enormously stated through the
press.
THE patent / am securing" says
he, lis ball or pebble mill which has
a number of new or novel features
and differs from the ordinary ball or
pebble mill. My mill is double or
twin construction, having scenter
feed and double tunnion or end dis
charge and will be very much cheaper
in first cost per ton of ore ground;
also in floor space occupied and in
the lesser amount of horsepower per
ton Of ore ground; larger screen and
discharge area. It has a number of
automatic features which I believe
will recommend it for general use."
At the present time more detailed
statement will not be given out, but
in the near future the full description
will be given to the readers of our
readers. 1t is stated by expert spe-
cialists who have Investigated the new
Janey mill that it effects far higher
recovery of the metallic contents and
at far less cost than any other mill in
use, and will revolutionize present
methods. 1t is understood that the
Republic Mining company will erect
the first plant employing the Janey
mill on its property at Hanover, N.
M, and its operations and results will
be watched with deep interest by min
ing men.

FORT HARRISON
CAMP OPENS
Future Officers of New Army
Undergo Rigid Train
ing For War.
International News Service

International News Service
FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON,
Indianapolis, May 1.-THE officers
training camp Of the United States
army for Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky
and West Virginia was formally
opened today. Every man of the
$500 candidates for officers com
missions in the conscript army who
were accepted for training was re-
quired to report today to begin three
months intensive training.
Col. Edwin F. Glenn, grizzled
veteran of the United States army, is
in active charge of the camp. A
score of West Pointers and several
non-commissioned officers of the
regular army make up his staff The
West Point graduates will be the in
structors of the embryo officers.
Majority at 80 Mark.
Although an especial appeal was
made for men of more mature age
TO 40 years of age-to enlist, the ma
jority Of the candidates were so
years. Fully a third of the candi-
dates were college graduates, "a
years old. From the $500 men en-
camped here, about 1900 will be
accepted for commissions in the
army.
The new soldiers will be given a
most rigorous training. For the first
month they will be drilled in in
fantry squads. After a time, they
will be divided into infantry, artil-
lery and cavalry divisions.
Special Training Planned.
For the last two months the men
will be given special training in
these three branches of the service.
At the end of three months il is ex-
pected that a highly efficient group
of officers can be secured TO officer
the new army.
Absolute prohibition is in effect at
the camp. The bugle calls at 5:15
a. m. every day. Until 10 o'clock at
night the training will be most Sc
we're. 1t will include field work and
class room instruction.
To make the training more prac-
teal it is expected that the depart
ment will send a regiment of regular
soldiers here. Within a few days il
is believed that Fort Harrison will
be the camp for $4,000 soldiers.
