NEW DRAFT RULES
 ISSUED BY CROWDER

The following rulings concerning the execution of the selective-service law have been issued by the provost marshal general:
 When and whether there will be a second call is within the discretion of the president. There is no date set for a second call and, so far as is known, no second call Is in present contemplation.
 A registrant whose order of liability is so late that he is not within the quota of local board can not, even on his own request, be advanced and sent with the quota.
 The fact that more than one person is selected from a single family is not of itself ground for exemption or dis charge.
 Many registered men who have been selected for military service have applied for exemption or discharge on the ground that they have been dis charged from the army, navy or ma rine corps, sometimes for physical disqualification and sometimes merely upon expiration of enlistment. It seems scarcely necessary to say that prior service or discharge from the army, navy or marine corps IS not ground for exemption or discharge from draft, and that such applications can receive no consideration.
 The draft is for the purpose of in crcasing the military establishment. Registrants may in certain circum- stances be exempted or discharged to enable them to continue in non-mili- tary pursuits, but after they arc select ed for military service they may not be assigned to non-military serviee.
 The selective-scrvice law speciical- ly prohibits the acceptance ot substi- tutes for men selected for military duty. The obligation is personal and can not be transferred.
 Local boards have no power to grant discharges or hear claims for discharge by or in respect of a regis trant when such claims arc based upon the circumstance that persons not within the degree of relationship specified in the regulations are dc pendent upon the registrant's labor for support.

TEX WILLIAMS IS
 ARRESTED AT ASH FORK
(From Fridays Daily.)

Tex Williams, the young man who several days ago flim-hammed num- Der of local miners out of various sums of money, was arrested at Ash Fork and returned to this city yester- day. He is being held in the county jail and will face a charge of failing to register last June.
 Williams is also charged with hay ing robbed the cash register of Tue son restaurant of Sl00 several weeks ago, and it is likely that the Pima county authorities will lodge com plaint against him on this score.
 The prisoner came to Prescott about a week ago, and advertised for miners to work in a Mexican mine which he alleged that he represented. A number of men applied to him for jobs, and from each man he managed to borrow small sums of money, giv- ing in return his "I. O. U." While no charge could be preferred against him for this action, the officers look ed up his record a bit and learned that he was an alleged stacker. His arrest was made at the railroad town to the north at the instance of Sheriff Young. Following his arrest 1t was learned that he was the sanie man who robbed the Tucson restaurant of the above mentioned sum. He had been employed as a waiter at the restaurant and during the absence of the owner, he carried off the contents of the cash register.

FAVORED SILVER SINCE
 SILVER COMES BACK (From Fridays Daily)

The reviving of the Spring group of silver mines, situated on the road be- tween Huron and McCabc, has beer attended with gratifying results, was the statement made yesterday by the owner, R. A. Kinsman.
 At depth of about 20 feet in new shaft sunk, the values in silver run high, and as depth is given the vein has widened to over five inches, car rying a carbonate condition, as well does the lead content add materially to the mineral values.
 Mir. Kinsman formed a close com pany to revive this oldtime property after silver started to advance few months ago, and machinery has been installed to prosecute deep develop ment. A new operating point was selected, owing to the old workings being caved in, and the wisdom Of this move is creating very much com ment among miners of that section by the high grade ore showing in evil dcnce
 The Spring property is situated on the Assure where the Silver Belt lies, and has the same geological construc- ton as the latter. Since silver has reached a remunerative price, four camps are now active in that zone. within a distance of three miles, and according to reports two more are preparing to start up before the first of October. Every foot of ground between the Silver Belt and Huron Is now located along the contact where silver predominates. It is also an in tcresting fact that for the first time in over quarter of century there is a scene recalling the old silver days. The zone also has desirable location, being within half of mile of the railroad.

MUSTERED MEN
 EXEMPTED FROM
 ASSESSMENT WORK

Owners of mining claims, while in the military or naval service of the
 United States as officers or enlisted men, have been relieved from per forming assessment work during the term of such service, through the adoption by congress recently of the following joint resolution:
 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress as sembled, that the provisions of Sec. 2324 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which require that on each mining claim located after the 10th day of May, 1872, and until pat ent has been issued therefor, not less than Sl00 worth of labor shall be per. formed or improvements made dur ing each year, shall not apply to claims owned by officers or enlisted men who have been or may, during the present war with Germany, be mustered into the military or naval service of the United States to serve during their enlistment in the war with Germany, so that no mining claim or any part thereof owned by such person which has been regularly located and recorded shall be subject to forfeiture for non-pcrformance Of the annual assessments during the period of his service or until six months after such owner is mustered out of the service or until six months after his death in the service: Pro- vided, that the claimant of any min ing location, in order to obtain the benefits of this resolution, shall file, or cause to be filed, a notice in the office where the location notice or certificate is recorded, before the ex- piration of the assessment year dur ing which he is so mustered, giving notice of his muster into the service of the. United States and of his desire to hold said mining claim under this resolution. Approved, July Y, 1917.

WASH|NGTONNOT PROPER PLACE
 FOR PLEAS
OFFICIALS AT CAPITAL WILL NOT PASS ON RE- QUESTS FOR DISCHARGE UNLESS LOCAL OR DIS TRICT BOARDS APPROVE
(From Fridays Daily.)

The local board yesterday received some information tending to clear up the situation as it pertains to eXemp- ton pleas which have been passed over the heads of the local and dis trict boards and put in the hands of the authorities in Washington.
 In substance, the ruling is to the effect that neither the president nor members of congress will devote any consideration to claims for exemption which have not been passed on by the local and district boards, and even then only when such exemptions have to do with certain phases of the agri- cultural and industrial pursuits. Ex- emxption claims based on the plea of dependency will receive no considera- ton whatever at Washington, as this sort of thing must be settled by the district boards.
 The wire regarding this situation came from Colonel Breen at Phoenix, and is as follows:
 Local Exemption Board, Prescott:
 "By the regulation of the president, covering appeals from the action of the district boards, the claims or ap- peals must be filed with the district board, and cannot be received, if sent direct to the president, the provost marshal, members of congress or to any other place than to the district board itself. Papers, evidence and affidavits not considered by the dis trict board cannot be considered or appeal from the district board. The only cases in which there is an ap- peal to the president are those in which a claim for discharge on the grounds of engagements in agricul ture or industry has been made to the district board. There is no appeal to the president from the action of the local board in dependency or in other cases whose determination is within the jurisdiction of the local board. All attempts to appeal cases other than those involving the decision of the district board on agriculture or in dustrial exemptions from whatever source received, all affidavits, letters, arguments, evidence, papers and other matters not considered by the district board and all appeals made to the president direct or sent to any other official or person in Washington will have to be returned to the sender.

MUCH SPACE TO
 SCHOOLS AT THE FAIR
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

Arrangements have been completed by Manager K. c. Stevenson of the educational department of the North ern Arizona fair, for receiving the exhibits which are to comprise the display of this section at the coming fair. AIr. Stevenson is being assisted in his work by E. A. McSwiggin and w. O. Hoogcstraat
 Instead of the prizes going to the individual pupils who send in exhibits, this year the awards will go to the school as whole which makes the best showing in the way of exhibits The exhibits are to consist of almost any sort of school work, such as manuscripts, maps, drawings, etc, and are to be mounted by the pupil who exhibits the articles. All work cn, tered in this years competition must have been completed since October B, 1916, and must be actually done by the person who enters it.
 All of the exhibits will be mounted on cards of uniform color and not to exceed 2 by 2S inches in size. The booths will be built so that cards of this size can be attractivcly displayed. The exhibits will be divided into four classes, namely, A, those coming from High schools and academies: B, those from city schools with not less than five teachers; C, those from schools with two to four teachers: D, from schools with but one teacher. The cash prizes will be announced at a later date.
 An oratorical contest will be held in the High school auditorium in this city during fair week, and the contest will be divided between vocal, instru- mental and oratorical selections. The orations entered must be in the hands of the management not later than October 10th, and will be graded 40 per cent on delivery and 60 per cent ton neatness of manuscript. The of ferings must be of sufficient length to insure a delivery time of about ten minutes The contests arc open to all High school and academy pupils below the age of 20 years

LECTURE COURSE ON
 MINING FOR THIS CITY
(From Fridays DaiIyl

lEiOlll EiNdS HdiS! Charles F. Willis, director of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines, is in the city making the necessary arrange ments for the lecture courses to be given by the bureau during the com- ing year. The courses will probably be given in the High school auditor ium, and will be under the auspices of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce.
 Each of the three courses will be given during three days, and the lec- lures will be profusely illustrated by the use of lantern slides and motion pictures. During the afternoons there will be special lectures for the ladies, and lectures will probably be given for the school students and the Boy Scouts.
 On February 2S and March 1st and End, 1918, NJ. A. Allen will give a series of lectures on war minerals. His particular purpose is to stimulate the production of the minerals which arc necessary in carrying on the war. There will be special instruction in the technical points of molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten, manganese and other minerals not so we'll known MT. Allen IS mineral technologist of the State bureau For the ladies, he will deliver talk upon the subject of the care and conservation of minerals in household work.
 On July 18th, 18th and 10th, s. C. Dickenson, safety and welfare engi- neer of the bureau of mines will de- vote hi. allotted three days to first aid and mine rescue instruction, camp welfare and sociological problems, and has a really important message to deliver.
 December 5th, 9th and 7th, G. R. Fassett, rock analyst of the bureau. will give course in field minerology, which course with the assistance of special textbooks published by the bureau, will enable the proSpector to identify even the rarer minerals in the field, with no more apparatus than can be readily carried in a pack.
 In speaking of this work, Director Willis said: "This work is some thing entirely new in the State. and is one of the methods of bringing the work of the bureau of mines directly to the people. It will be given in 34 towns and cities. If its reception is as great as I have been led to believe it will be, the activities will in time be extended so as to be worthy of the title of movable school of mines"
