BROMIDE AND CALCIUM CELLO.
 RIDE.

According to figures recently com piled by R. W. Stone, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, the quantity of dom estic bromide marketed in the United States in 1916 was 688,26O pounds, valued at S922,225. This quantity in cludes only elemental bromide made from natural primes pumped in Mich igan, Ohio, and West Virginia; it does not include bromides, the salts of bro mide that are widely used in photo graphy and medicine. The production reported in 1915 was 855,8 pounds.
 Bromide is used instead of chlorine as an oXidizer in many chemical re- actions, and for dissolving gold and separating it from platinum and sil- yer; it is also used in disinfectants, drugs, and photographic chemicals, and in making aniline colors. Recent ly it has been extensively used in mak- ing the asphyXiating fases employed III lIle LuIOpedn war.
 The quantity of calcium chloride made from brine and sold in the Uni ted States in 1916 was 26,O62 short tons, valued at $216,729, an increase of 22 per cent in quantity and 65.7 per cent in value over the production in 1915. This quantity does not include calcium chloride obtained in the manu- facture of soda, as calcium chloride so obtained is not an original consti- tuent of the brine.
 Calcium chloride is made from nat ural primes at Mount Pleasant and Saginaw, Mich; Pomeroy, Ohio; and Mason, Hartford, and Maiden, W. Va. As the same primes yield salt and pro- nide, practically every constituent of them is turned to profit. Calcium chloride is used as the circulating fluid in refrigesatirg piants, in ce- ment concrete, and in automobile gas engine water jackets to prevent freez- ] ing, and for laying dust on roads, dry ing gases, vegetables, and fruits, and dehydrating organic liquids. Calcium chloride in solution is especially val uable in automatic-sprinkler systems and fire buckets.

MUST BE REAL FARMER
 ID ESCAPE DRAFT; NJ EXCUSES ID BE TAKEN
[From Wednesdays Daily MinerI


 Baseball players, artists, actors and authors must take their chances with the other nine and a half million men in the selective draft lottery. There are no provisions for their eX- emptions from military service.
 Unless they are indispensable" and serve to contribute to the maintenance of the military organization or the national interest in the emergency, such men will be subject to draft.
 An inquiry from an artists colony in Greenwich village, New York, was answered by pointing out that prac- tically all of Frances famous artists are in the trenches.
 Big, hard calluses on the hands will be one of the contributing causes for exemptions from military service for farmers. Among other things the ap- pellate exemption boards will take into consideration the length of time certain farmers" have been tilling the soil. Hundreds of eligibles to the draft are fleeing big cities to work on farms, hoping thereby to be classed as farmers and escape mill tary service.
 Reports to this effect to the war department, in some cases giving names, were turned over to the de- partment of justice. Some offered to work during the summer for practi- cally nothing but board and room. This aroused the suspicion of the far mers, who reported the unusual situ- ation to the war department.
 The subterfuge of these self-made farmers will be of little avail.

VERDICT WON IN BIGLEDGE CASE
 COUNTY RECORD
6FrOn wsdnssdsy,s Daily Minsr)

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 3-Carry- ing the biggest judgment recorded in a Yavapai county court for a long time, if not the biggest ever. Judge F. H. Lyman's decision in the Big Ledge case, favoring the minority stockholders, has been filed for record.
 Plaintiffs in the suit tO compel the officers of the Big Ledge Copper com pany to carry out a contract of sal and reimburse them for stock in the old Big Ledge Mining company won an award amounting to 105,600 shares of the stock, which was listed at S2.25 bid and $2.50 asked on the Ne wYork curb. It was further ordered, that in case the stock cannot be furnished, plaintiffs are to have judgment again st the company for a sum of money re- presenting par value for the stock, or S3 a share.
 Judge Lyman's decision was given orally in open court, with Dr. Nestor 4. Young, chief plaintiff and attor- neys for both sides present.
 The decision ended what was proven one of the most interesting mining suits in the Yavapai county superior court in long time. Briefly, the his tory of the case is this:
 Early in 1915, the Big Ledge De velopment company was organized by the officers of the Big Ledge Mining company, including Charles Barte, Ernest Le-Duc, J. Oreskowski, John Murray and others. It was the object of the Development company to take over the assets of the mining com pany. On March 15 of that year, the asets of the mining company were sold to the development company under contract, and the stockholders of the former were to receive one share of Big Ledge Development company company they possessed.
 Minority stockholders, most of them residents of Los Angeles and Pasa- dena, who had formed the company and were it's original officers until control passed into the hands of Barte LeDuc and the others, claimed they were then refused payment in Devel- opment company stock. On this, they pooled their interests. Dr. Young one of the heaviest stockholders, as sumed the burden of prosecuting title of "Nestor A. Young and Wife vs. the Big Ledge Development company. Er. nest LeDue, Charles Barte, J. Ores. kowski and John Murray.
 The suit was filed following tho failure of the Development company to turn over the stock on the stipulat ed day, March 15, 1916, one year iron the date of the contract of sale.
 The trial of the case last wintel before Judge Lyman was marked b! the keenest competition on the par of opposing counsel. The plaintiff was ably represented by O'Sullival and Morgan. E. s. Clark and Richart Lamson represented the defendan companies and their officers and Rob ert E. Morrison and J. E. Russell rep resented certain intervenors.
 After the close of much testimony the case was argued both orally ant by long, searching briefs. Submission of the case was followed by an inter val in which Judge Lyman consideret the matter. Several times, it wa thought a decision would be handed down, and this caused Dr. Young ant A. c. Stewart, another heavy stock holder among the plaintiffs, to visi Prescott unavailingly.
