 Elmer Parsons, member of party of three miners who are in this field to begin prospecting for a Crccdc, Colorado, syndicate, stated yesterday Yavapai county is enjoying splcn- did name TOT its mineral possibilities based on the magnitude oi surface slowings.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR POWDER
 LICENSES
CLERK BELCHER OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GOES TO JEROME AT URGENT REQUEST OF MANY OPERATORS.
(From Saturdays Daily)

At the request of many mining op- orators, Clerk Belchcr of the board of supervisors and his assistant, w. r.. Norwood, left yesterday for Jerome to issue powder licenses under the Federal law recently promulgated.
 No license is to be issued except by an applicant appearing in person, and this cxaction must Dc complied with by everyone. before authority is authorized to make purchases. Ow- ing to the large demand from that mining field, and to avoid the ncccs- sity of an applicant making a per sonal request by coming to this city. which would occasion in the aggre- gate quite an outlay. Clerk Belcher has deemed it cxpedicnt to be on the ground that legal requirements may be expedited. Another motive for making this special trip is that es' inmates made for issuing licenses to use powder in this county ,arc very much under the number of applicants allotted. The idea seems to prevail at the disbursing center that this county is in the same classification as others of an agricultural rating, and accordingly but limited number of requests were anticipated. This fca- turc will have to be revised in order that all legitimate consumers of pow der may be permitted to proceed with their mine development under the legal restrictions imposed.
 The Jerome field being naturally one of the largest in active opera tions, IS to be permitted to proceed without any further delay, and for this reason official action as above given has been deemed advisable. All mining counties throughout the State arc entering grievances against the method of limiting licenses, while ag- ricultural counties have no occasion to complain, owing to their industrial requirements being limited in the use of explosives.

However, the prisoners were no sooner released than they were re-arrestcd again on the same charge, and will be taken before Justice Me Lane before coming into the Superior court again This was the second time that the men had been turned loose, their freedom in each case be- ing of but brief duration.

RED CROSS NEEDS WORK
 FRS MORE THAN MONEY
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

Although the Christmas Member ship Drive of the American Red Cross does not begin until Monday, Decem- Der l7. the success or failure will be determined by the organization work that is perfected before that time, ac- cord;rg to w. L. Hathaway, chair man of .hc campaign for the Pacific Division, which comprises California. Nevada and Arizona.
 The Red Cross is not seeking money ;n this drive" said Chairman Hathaway in a statement sent to the local chapter last night. "The dollar membership that is attached to each oi the 467,000 new members that we must obtain to uphold our part in the rational plan is mere incident to the ical purpose of the work. The Red Cross wants workers and 1t wants 10O00,000 more members to have vital part in this second line of defense.
 With only 5,OOO,00O members, the American Rcd Cross has accomplish cd program that will ever be an honor to the history of the nation. The thought that is uppcrmost in the minds of the national leaders at this time is that the good that has already been accomplished will be more than treblcd by the additional membership being sought. We want workers and we want every man, woman and child to wear the emblem of active loyalty the Red Cross button.
 "If there is anyone who doubts that the work of .hc Red Cross will not be trebled in the remaining months and probably years before democracy IS triumphant, that person is not in step with the thought O four national lead CTS. Problems never met in the his tory of the world must be solved in the immediate future and there is no organization that will have greater share than the American Red Cross.
 While I do not believe that the West is behind the East in the matter of patriotism, it is not out of place 10 point out at this time that if the three states of the Pacific Division gain every new member in the quotas assigned, the chapters of these states will only have a membership propor- tionatc to that of Eastern and Middle West Chapters before the member ship drive begins In the Eastern part of the United States, the Red Cross button is worn by so many that its absence is more matter of remark than its presence and if this oppor- tunity presented to the citizens in the most attractive form possible by us does not reach the goal set. it should be a matter of personal humiliation to every Western citizen
 Because of the nature of Red Cross work and the fact that it is being linked with the Christmas spirit in the present campaign, it has been given to the churches in every com- munity to sound the keynote Of the campaign and it is expected that every pulpit will place emphasis on the importance of the work that is to be done in gaining members for tho Red Cross.
 Ministers of the city will emphasize the Rcd Cross membership drive Sum day.

VKYHILE Elsie was resolutely
" putting her pencil back
in her pocket that morn
ing on the train, and turning her
attention to something more
PLEASANT than thoughts OF her
mothers grief, her parents were
discovering that she was not in
the house.
The shock Of her departure did
not descend upon them all at once.
1t is hard for parents TO realize
that the child which so short q
while ago lay hslpless,y in their
arms has grown into SO entirely
separate q human being.
The vague unessiness Of finding
her not there, the growing dread
upon seeing her neat bed had not
been slept In, developed into fear
and panic as the hours passed by.
Her mother tried to believe that
Elsie could not have found 1t in
her heart to go away thus, without
a word OF farewell. but all the
while memories of her daughters
discomfort gnawed at her heart,
The recollection Of Elsis's re-
cent renovation Of her wardrobe.
although at the time it had caused
no question in her mind, now came
to her with q pang OF terror and
grief. That night when the father
and mother went upstairs for the
hundredth time TO search the little
room for soRs possible clue to the
missing giE, heF mother threw
herself upon he's knees beside the
little bed ard sobbsd as though
her heart would break-the hard
dry sobs of middle age such as
Elsie had never seen. She knew
now that her little girl had run
away and left her.
Life had not been easy foF this
woman. Hard work and little Joy
had long been her portion. but
the days and nights which followed
held q grief and uncertainty that
were almost too great to be borne.
