Prisoners Working on
Farms in IL Counties

Edward Wilson. of Philadelphia
assistant agent of the Board of Pub
lie Charities, son of the late Mayor
Wilson, of this city, has been detailed
by the Board to investigate the work
ings of the law passed by the last
legislature permitting prisoners in
the county jails to be sent into the
open to do work for farmers who
are in need of hands to gather the
harvests.
Eighteen counties have been visit
ed by Mr.. Wilson and in twelve of
them found the plan to be working
admirably, and his information was
to the effect that the new law is a
success. In the other six counties the
county authorities were either ig-
norant of the law or Indifferent to
putting 1t into operation, and moth
ing had been done, but the promise
was made that next year they will
all endeavor to observe the new
law. Mr.. Wilson says that where
ever in operation the authorities have
been very much pleased with it's
workings, and there is no doubt that
in time every county will place their
prisoners to work with the farmers
This year the work of the men has
been devoted to gathering the har-
vests, the law coming too late to
permit of the employment of the
prisoners in planting, but this fall
and next spring the prisoners will
he sent out to plant, passing the
winter months in prison. The pris-
oners really like the work they do, it
being relief from confidement in
the jails, and only those physically
unable to work were not sent to the
field.

STRIKE CLOSES
GREAT COPPER
MINES IN WEST
Only Handful of Men Report
For Work at Anaconda
Smelter

Butte, Mont, Aug. 27.-Thousands
of miners are idle to-day because of
the shutdown of all the copper
mines of the district, made neces-
sary by the closing Friday of the
Washoe Smelling plant of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company at
Anaconda when of 5000 men en-
ployed on the day shift, only 110
reported for work.
Indications are that the independ-
ent mines of the district which did
not shut down Friday will be COM
PEELED to cease operations in the
near future. Miners gradually are
failing to report for work at the in
dependent properties.
The machinists union has formu-
lated new demands which mem
bers say they will insist upon.

Berlin Is Depressed
By u. S. Embargo

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 27.-Many
passengers who arrived here yester-
day from a neutral European port
on neutral steamship expressed the
opinion that Germany is hard hit
economically. that her food is low
and that discomfort prevails through
out the empire, except in Prussia,
where the military set and it's con-
stituents are feeling the trying times
the least.
American trade restrictions upon
the north countries, they declared.
had created much depression in Ger
many. since the Germans had counted
on getting winter supplies of food
stuffs from the Scandinavian coun-
tries On board were persons who
had recently been in Germany and
they had talked freely of Germany
during the voyage.

German Is Drafting
Prisoners to Fight

Copenhagen, Aug. 81. - The diff
Guilty which Germany is experiencing
in obtaining men to fill the ranks is
shown by an Interpolation presented
/ nthe ReihcstaG by Deputy David
sohn calling attention to the practice
of the military authorities in recall
ing to the service pensioners who
have been discharged for disabilities.
The Interpolation says men re-
ceiving pensions for fifty per cent.
and more of total disability and even
cripples to whom supplementary PEN
sions have been granted are being
constantly forced into the army again
and that in some cases men are taken
from hospitals before their treatment
is completed.

Augusta, Ga, Aug. 81. - Sunday,
known in the Army as a flat" day
because work ceases for twenty-four
hours, was in no sense fiat here in
interest or amusement for the boys
of the advance details of Pennsylv-
Yania's Twenty eighth army division.
Aside from assembling at reveille
and retreat, they had only one duty
to perform, and that a more or
less optional one-attendance at re-
| ligious services. Thereafter they
were at liberty to spend the re-
mainder of the holiday as they pleas
ed.
As a result Camp Hancock was vir-
tually deserted. Few visitors motor
ed to the site because the soldiers
fiocked into the city or roamed in
squads about the surrounding coun-
try. They visited natatoriums, slept
under the trees, gathered in groups
in shady spots to sing songs, while
others remained in their tents and
spent the afternoon writing letters
home.
The leisure hours gave the men
the first real opportunity to see
Augusta. and they took full advant-
age of it. A majority of the more
than 5000 men spent the day here.
There was not the slightest disorder
reported.
But there was little amusement
for the boys, for late in the evening
they were called upon to fight what
might have developed into a disast-
rous fire. 1t was discovered in the
heavy pine woods about half mile
from the troops camp. In fighting
the flames, which at times shot
fifteen to twenty feet into the air,
the troopers stirred up several regi-
ments of yellowjackets, whose fight
ing qualities are beyond dispute. AS
result, many of the troopers lay in
their quarters to-day nursing swollen
arms and faces.
The fire, of Undetermined origin,
was particularly hard to combat, be-
cause the troopers could not attack

Tears Win Over Stacker.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 6.-The tears of his sister caused Raymond I. Moore. an anti-draft agitator, to sign a conscriptive army registration card in his cell at the county jail.

Moore is being held on a Federal warrant charging conspiracy to evade the draft. He is the husband of Mrs.

FUEL ADMINISTRATION CHANGE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 27.-Fuel Administrator Will L. Clark, owing to press of personal business that takes him elsewhere, has been compelled to resign his post and already has left Phoenix for Los Angeles, where he ex- poets to make a lengthy stay. In his place has been appointed Charles M. Shannon, a pioneer mining man, lately of Florence, where he recently leased his large ranch to Californians who will grow cotton. Mir. Clark has worked hard to secure better coal, more of it and at cheaper price for distribution in Arizona. He had es- pecial fitness for the position of ad- ministrator through years spent as manager of the United Verde mine at Jerome, an enterprise that consumed as much coal as an ordinary city.
 Mir. Shannon has been a resident of Arizona since 1872, when he went from western Missouri to join his uncle, Robert Metcalfe, discoverer of the Metcalfe and Shannon mines. He has taken office at once, following receipt of a telegram from U. S. Fuel Admin istrator Garfield, asking his accept ance and stating: "You are already generally familiar with the duties of this office and it will be a service to our country and particularly to the people of your state, as well as a favor to me if you will undertake this i'm portant work"
 To Mir. Clark the following telegram was sent by MT. Garfield: with great reluctance I am compelled, on account of circumstances stated in your letter, to accept your resignation. Please ac- cept my thanks for your unselfish and patriotic service"
 While the position is one of large importance, it is Understood to have financial emolument of only S1 al year. MT. Shannon has no plans, other than to carry out the policies established by his predecessor.

RICH COPPER MINES
 OF YAVAPAI COUNTY
(By P. R. Milnes)

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 27.-While the Jerome district still ranks first in public interest, Mayer is making a bid and a successful one for the attention of mining men and capital through number of strikes of importance made in the last week or two. The field has many promising prospects and already has been carefully scru- tinized by several of the largest cop per-producing companies of the south ern end of Arizona, with the view to enlarging their holdings and increas- ing their output. An engineer of one of these companies recently spent two weeks in the district and announce ment of a big deal is looked for at any time.
 The Arizona Copper Company, a mile and a half northwest of Mayer has encountered a fine grade of chal- copyrite in the bottom of the 200-foot shaft. The ore covers the bottom of the shaft, there being a streak of high grade which indicates that both mill ing and smelting ore will be found as depth is attained.
 The Monte de Cobre Mining Com pany, which recently took over the Barbara mine, has gone through 40 feet of ore in a new tunnel, which has

THIRTY Y-SEVEN YEARS SILVER PRODUCTION
 SHOWS UNITED STATES LEADING ALL OTHERS

Owing to the probability of silver production of the United States being taken over by the government at a fixed valuation of one dollar per ounce, the compilation of silver pro- duction in the three silver producing countries during the past thirty-seven years has considerable importance to mining people. We are indebted for these figures to the Industrial and Mining Age. It will be seen that the last fifteen years of Mexico produc- tion exceeded that of the United
Mohave County miner., 1917-12-29

States, but that Canada reached the zenith of it's production in 1912.
 Should the government contract for the output of the silver mines of the country at one dollar per ounce many mines in this county and elsewhere in Arizona would be- started up. Every range in Mohave county is ore bear ing and every mine carries more, or less silver. Especially is this true of the Cerbat range, which for years pro duced four-fifths of the silver of the county. The Wallapais also bear sil-
