ACTIVE
IN THEIR CAMPAIGN
FOR PREPAREDNESS

Toxic, Nov. 10.-(By ail,)-Led by
Admiral Baron Saito, for many years
Minister Of Marine and largely respon-
sible for the modern Japanese navy, q
campaign has been opened by prepar-
edness preachers here to give Japan
greater strength on the sea.
But before such a plan can be real
lied. the men who vote the millions
must lend their approval. So Admiral
Saito recently addressed the members
of the strongest political party in the
Diet.
II Japan Is to maintain her rank
among the sea powers Of the world, he
insisted, 1t is urgent that she take i'm
mediate steps for centering her naval
strength around IL super drendnoughts
and the same number of battle cruis-
ers. Because of war construction by
other powers. he said, his own country
was in danger of being out distanced.
Admiral Saito's speech Is regarded
as expressing the sentiments of the
Terauchi administration and has
caused no small amount Of discussion
for less than q year ago Japan aimed
at the acquisition of eight battleships
and eight battle cruisers as the main
strength Of her fleet.

Stockman and Farmer An
swers the Last Summons
After an Active Life.

William A. Rankin, more Familiarity
known as doc" Rankin. died Of heart
disease this morning at Boise hos
pital. He was 81 years of age and
was one Of the rugged pioneers of the
west, who for more than half a CEN
fury had lived in the western section
of the United States and helped to
make its history. Mr.. Rankin is sur
vived by one son, Tom, who Is now
enroute to Boise from Arizona. The
body is at the Schneider & Shoemaker
morgue and funeral arrangements will
not be made until the arrival of his
son.
Mr.. Rankin was born at Lafayette,
Ind Jan. "a 1886. His early life was
spent. in Iowa, where he followed
farming and stock raising until 26
years of age. In 1853 with five other
men he started west for Washoe,
New. The trip was made in prairie
schooners. the men doing their own
cooking. washing and fighting Indians
on the hard journey. After 9 year IN
Nevada and California, Mr.. Rankin en-
gagged in the freighting busin : and
spent II years in driving his outfits
across the deserts of the west and
pretty nearly all the trails which led
from one center of population to an
other.
KNEW THE WEST WELL.
During his fraighting period he had
with him from two to six outfits and
often used as high as rs head Of oxen
in one team. drawing four wagons in
tandem 1t was as a freighter that
Mr. Rankin became so well known
among all the prominent westerners
of carly history and he was often con-
suited concerning the conditions OF
roads and trails b. the most prominent
men of several states.
In 1881 he came to Boise and for
several years followed various occupa-
tons, but finally answered the call of
back to the farm" and in 1889 took
up 100 acres of land two miles south
west of Boise, which proved valuable
property in later years with the set
uenent Of the country and the growth
of Boise.
doc" Rankin was n master Mason
and also q prominent member of the
Odd Fellows lodge. He joined both
orders early in life and kept up his
fraternal associations as long as his
health permitted,

wastefull. That is sufficient reason

tration said:
THE present fuel situation suggest
that the CRATE should be filled with

1t should be used when only q little
heat is needed for a short time and 1t
should be fed on waste wood as much
as possible. The Pickering flames of

to excite the fancy rather than the
scorch and the big roar of too full a

 YAVAPA|
ACTIVITY IN THE CON- ST E L L ATION FIELD SHOWS RESUMPTION OF OLD MINES BY NEW OPERATORS.
iContinued on Page Six)


 This Fall will see more activity, backed by heavier investments, than has ever been known in the Constella- tion country writes Sam F. Powell, an old-time resident and mine owner of that field. Powell reviews condi- tions by mentioning the following movements:
 ''The Inspiration Company is shap- ing up its affairs in a manner to at tract comment, and a new wagon road IS now being constructed from the railroad to the camp, for hauling in large operating equipment. Mine work also has started on the Eagle claim, which is making an excellent showing. A large outlay is to be made and quite a camp is to be established.
 "The old Marguerite property, bet, ter known by the name of the Unieda Mining Co.,, situated near the Monte Christo, for many years idle, IS now working in full blast, and reports from the camp would indicate an at tractive proposition. The death os the original owner handicapped this property from becoming active, bu, finally its affairs have been shaped up by which large and permanent opera tions have started at last.
 "The Abe Lincoln has been revived and the payroll now numbers 5S men. while the Gold Bar, situated close by has reached depth of 600 feet and is one of the most active properties in the district
 "The affairs of the White Gold Mining Co. have been adjusted by which operations are to begin imme- diately, the receivership having been taken out of the courts, after several years of litigation. There IS very much interest shown over this move ment, from the fact that the mine had a fine showing, when suspension oc- cured after the mill had been de- stroyed by fire. It is probable Leon, ard l.. White will again be in charge owing to his knowledge of under ground workings and his capability to direct
 The Wulfernite Company, in mine and mill operations, how has force of 20 miners employed, and good re- ports are being received from thi, new camp.
 "The Golden State has been revived with a small force employed. while the River mine also is getting in line to become active early in the Fall.
 "The Monte Christo shows no change in depth made, and continues to be the center of admiration of the mining country for its marvellous values in the white metal With sil- yer over 8 cents, it is reported that heavy production may follow. The tonnage is of such immensity as to be incalculable, not even the owners having the slightest knowledge of its resources"

 A decree of distribution was enter cd in matter of estate of the late Ernest Tossi, and the second annual report O. the administrator of the es- tate of w. ]. Mulvenon was filed and approved.
 Mrs. F. NJ. Thomas has been named as administrative of the estate of F. G. Gray, deceased, and her bond fixed in the sum of S1,OO0 No ap praiscrs were appointed for this eS- tate, as the property consists entirely of cash. The notice to creditors was ordered published.
 P. w. O'Sullivan was named as ad- ministrator of the estate of Charles Kingsley, deceased, and filed his bond of S1,000. Messrs. P. J. Keohane, C. F. Gentry and E. \. McSwiggin were named as appraisers. The customary notice to creditors was ordered issued.
 A decree of distribution was order cd in matter of estate of the late Clara Lanzandorf, the final account ing of the administrator having been filed and approved It is understood that the bulk of the estate will go tc European relatives of the deceased
 C. F. Champie, administrator of the estate of F. A. Lehman, filed his final accounting together with a state mcnt to the effect that the estate Is worth Sl ,063 after the debts have been paid. The reports state that thc property left by the deceased con sisted entirely of mining claims in the Castle Creek district, near the Maricopa county line. According to the statement of the administrator, the property was worthless financially until much work and exploration had been done on it, and that after some development had been carried out, the group was sold for sufficient money to discharge all indebtedness against the estate and leave the bal ancc above mentioned. The petition for the administrators discharge will come up on August 3lst.
