BISBEE TO KEEP ITSELF
 FREE OF MOBILES

BISBEE, July B. Martial law, complete Federal protection, or sane ton % continue to keep itself free from I. w. W.'s and their reasonable conduct, coupled with grossest in inhalation. expresses the attitude of Bisbce citizenship.
 Meantime the threats of I. w. W.'s to return 10 the district and their appeal for troop escort and protec- ton have had no other effect here than to arouse citizens to remem brance of the abominations of speech insulting to the flag and the hardships of terrorism which prevailed prior to the deportations on July l2th. With revived remembrance there is deter imitation that the l. w. W.'s shall not come unless 1t is under the super vision of Federal troops and that the latter at the same time guarantee the district freedom from the intolcrable things it passed through before taking matters in hand.
 Advance squads of men sent from Columbus since Sunday to feel out public sentiment here have been giv- en facility to ascertain that there is no chance whatever of any of their number securing work in the district. They have been told that there IS plenty of work elsewhere There at titudc in response to this is indignant declaration that they do not want work elsewhere. While here they did not want work in this district, and did their best to stop it. Their con. fcssed object in desiring to return is to again stop work.
 With exception of the AustrianS and Mexicans whom they duped into believing that their action here in association with the I. w. w. would be a big factor in aid of Germany, there were not 50 steady workers among all the men sent out of the district. The balance were profession al I. w. w. wont works. Their claims to the contrary are on the same footing as their claims to sub scriptions to the Liberty Bond issue. They did subscribe, under orders of their organization, and their sub scription signatures were accepted in good faith at the banks, but when pay day came they did not make ever, the first payment.

INSULTS GOVERNOR BY USING WORD ACTING" BEFORE HIS NAME AND LOUDLY DECLARES HIS OWN IMPORTANCE.

PHOENIX, July 25.-Wiley Jones, attorney general of Arizona. has a newly discovered dignity, and he stood upon it yesterday, when a com mittee of Bisbee citizens called on Governor Campbell to lay before him the means which the Warren district took to rid itself of the l. w. w.
 Jones, it appears, was invited to at. tend the conference at the State house. He misunderstood the invitation, all though 'tis said it was delivered to him personally over the telephone. So, Wiley sat himself down and wrote a letter to the Bisbce committee, as follows, namely, to-wit:
 Department of Attorney General.
 Phoenix, July g, 1917. "Conference Committee from Bisbee, Arizona.
 State Capitol
 "Gcntlemen: Having been informed by telephone that your delegation has called upon acting Governor Camp bell to confer with him upon most important matter, may I request that you give me an opportunity to confer with you at my offices, 2lH So. End Ave, of this city.
 "The gravity of the situation now involving our entire State growing out of industrial complications, calls upon me to act promptly in the premises
 "I address this to you because | have a notification from the acting governors secretary that I have not been invited to the conference being held in the governors office at this hour Very respectfully.
 "(Signe6 WILEY E. JONES,
 Attorney General"
 Before sending the letter, the at torncy general called up the govern or's office and asked the names of the visiting delegation, which were given him. He then stated that he consid- cred himself as important in adjudi- eating the affairs of Bisbee as the acting governor" and invited the conferees to drop in and see him il they had anything of note to impart
 Governor Campbell listened to a lengthy explanation of the Bisbce in- cident and then warned the delega- ton that the acts of deportation were unlawful and must not be repeated.

STOCK BUYERS
 PROTECTION IN BOOKLET
(From Thursdays Dsily.)

The State corporation commission has issued booklet containing the investment company law of this State, commonly known as the blue sky law, which the commission desires to put into the hands of every citizen who is likely to engage in the pur- chase of stock. These booklets are free and should have the widest pos sible circulation.
 The law affords all the protection against. "wild-catters" that any law can give but purchasers Of stocks themselves must exercise some pre-. cautions based upon knowledge such as the law affords. When application is made for a permit to sell stock, ii a proper showing is made the corpo- ration commission must issue the per init Stock, however. IS sometimes unlawfully sold without a permit and that fact may not become known to the commission. Citizens should pro- tect themselves in this respect by re- quiring the seller to exhibit the per init, as the law provides.
 The permit also specifies that so much of the proceeds from the sale oi the stock must be put into the i'm provement or development of the property on which the stock was issued but the commission has no means of knowing whether that con- dition is fulfilled. The appropriation for the annual expenses of the com mission is insufficient for that purpose so that it devolves upon the stock holders themselves to inquire what use is being made of the money they invest.

HUGE MINE DEAL l. ON CASH BASIS IS CLOSED
LOCEY-PABST co. AND JOHN S. JONES ESTATE. COME TO UNDERSTAND ING OVER THE UNION GOLD MINE HOLDINGS.
(From Thr-sday's DaiIy)


 So satisfactory has been develop ment of the Union gold group in Chaparral. under the direction of the Locey-Pabst Company, which has been operating for the past five months under bond, that the actual sale of the property is to take place on a cash basis immediately, was the important announcement made yes terday. While the consideration is heavy, rumored to reach to over S2OO0OO, the sum is withheld from the public.
 The crystallizing of this big mining deal is due to the extensive explora- ton carried out in different zones, all of which show an unmistakable ore content as to warrant further nego- tiations to cease and give title to the present operators on an absolute basis. Another matter which IS has tening this deal, is the arrival last week from St. Louis of Charles T. Pabst, to join D. M Locey. They have carried out with their consulting engineer, thorough investigation of underground workings, and particu- larly so in certain zones where deyel- opment of or2bodies has proved as founding in tonnage exposed and gold values carried. With this deal being practically agreed upon some time ago, the equipping of the property with a first class operating plant also has started. A Jeffery quad truck with a trailer, having a combined capacity of four tons. is en route, while a new air compressor to be driven by 50-horse power motor is being installed. A contract is to be given at once for the construction of many new camp buildings, and when | the electrical service is restored a force of over 30 men will be employ ed. Mir. Loccy. a factor in bringing this deal to its final stage, stated yes. tcrday that a system of large under ground operation is to begin at once and energetjcally prosecuted. Here tofore but prospecting has been given, and in his opinion the making of mine has been accomplished The | D-oDer+y- Is now actively deveIODinc- and with new machinery in action the force will be increased to the full capacity decided upon. The sale is on the basis agreed to by the estate of John s. Jones. and Mir. Pabst and Mir. Locey left last night for St. Louis to close up details accordingly. Ed ward Willie. who accompanied MT. Pabst on the trip from St. Louis to the Union, also is to become largely interested.

DAMAGE SUITS FOR
 S5O,0oo ARE FILED
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

Some idea of the value men place on their persons can be found in the three personal injury complaints filed in the Superior court yesterday, in which an eye, leg and a back are quoted at S50.0OO.
 Mike P. Gerun puts in the biggest bill. He asks for S25,000 from the Hayden Development Company, for a crushed left leg, sustained in fall of loose rock in the stope on the 2OO-foot level of the company's mine near Je- rome. He alleges that the injuries were the result of no carelesSness on his own part, but that the company IS liable for damages because he was as sured the stope was safe, by its oftl- ccrs. Gerun states in his complaint that he was four and half months in a hospital at Jerome, and that when he emerged. his injured leg was short CT than the other. In addition to his damages, he asks for $500 medical costs.
 Albert Wiley's accident was less usual and stereotyped. He alleges that he was working in the No. 5 shaft of the United Verde on June 18th, setting some six-inch pipe through which it was planned to carry cement from a mixer on the 1000 level to the 1,50O level. He was below the mixer and engaged in hoisting section Of pipe, looking upward in order to guide it. All of sudden, there descended a flood of cooper water together with cement, and sand, which filled his eyes. The complete loss of one eye is alleged. He tasks for Sl5,OOO damages and S25O doctors bills.
 Patrick O'Hagan filed suit against the Randolph -Gemmill Development Company for Sl0,0O0, alleged damages due to a fall in the Springfield shaft of the company's mine in the Brad shaws. Plaintiff alleges that there was a space in this shaft where it was untimbered and unprovided with lad ders. He was climbing out of the shaft, hopping from timber to timber. when he slipped and fell 40 feet to the bottom of the shaft. Injuries to his back made it impossible for him ever again to work as a miner He

 All navy recruiting stations are in structed to acquire by enlistment men qualified to become members of band and orchestra. In other words, there is an urgent need for competent mu- sicians in the navy. Recruiting off, cers are instructed to make special efforts to obtain musicians. especially men who can be assigned to ships bands without preliminary instruc- ton.
 The musicians fall into three class es: musicians first class, musicians second class, and landsmen for musi- clans. The latter are the rockies ir the band work, and are supposed to be trained some before becoming reg. u1ar members of musical organiza- tions.
 Along with the musicians, there must be recruited more machinists Men in these two classes are not counted against the weekly assign ments of recruiting stations. For in. stance, Bill Sieckmann, who enlist: them here, can only send in threC seamen a week, but can supply all tho mechanics and music makers he car get his claws on.
 The pay for musicians is higher than for other classes and the worl is much lighter Members of band: and orchestras have no seamanly duties, no drill and no fighting duties All they are required tq do is is dis course sweet strains, which, accord ing to the proverb, have soothing effect on the savage breast
 Bandmasters receive $63.20 a montl and all expenses; first class musician. get $47.60, second class S43.20, anC landsmen for musicians S3260.
 The navy has adopted standard band of 2 pieces for all ships an' shore stations, except training sta tions. In addition, 12-piece or chestra is allowed for each command er-in-chief.

 A substantial increase was also not ed in assessments on cattle. The cattle valuation for the State this year is about S3,000O00 greater than ir l9l6. This increase is a result of 8 greater cattle census this year than last rather than an increase in valua- ton of cattle.
 The greatest increase noted in any one county was in Gila, where the total for this year is Sl42.633,70635 This is an increase of S62,S00OO0 over lol6, mostly due to added valuation o mining property.

MINE OPERATOR HAS THRILLING
 EXPERIENCE
V. E. CHILDS IN PRESCOTT AFTER VOYAGE ACROSS ATLANTIC, AND GIVES INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF SUB DANGERS.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 V. E. ChildS, mining operator who is quite well known in this field, has returned from Europe, his eXperi- ence in making the ocean voyage from Queenstown to New York being filled with thrills, the steamer he was aboard with lS5 others successfully eluding a U-boat attack.
 The trip required II days, which ordinarily takes but five days, but this delay was unavoidable, as the ship was ordered to turn back sev- eral times when patrol boats gave a warning of the danger lurking ahead. Mir. Childs withholds the name of the steamer he was aboard, saying that it is a special prize for German sub marines. He has been warned by Federal officials 10 not deal in too specific details in instances. He says.
 There is widespread satisfaction of the entry of American war boats in English waters, and the two fleets are making a fine combination in de- tending transatlantic shipping. From the day we left port there was an in tensely dramatic situation in evidence. The principal event was a battle with 2 submarine, in which IA shots were fired from our ship, and it IS general lv admitted the undersea craft will rise no more. This started 3 thrill which lasted during the rest of the voyage. Ii was one alarm and then another. in which the familiar peri scope" rang from one end to the other of our ship as the signal oi danger approaching. Bang would go a gun either fore or aft, and l will tell you the situation was simply thrilling. The Germans are cunning in their naval warfare and adopt many ruses to lure their victims to destruction One is to fix a false eX- tcrior to a submarine to give her the appearance of a small sailing boat. Another is to put a collapsible life boat in the water filled with dummy figures to look like survivors of tor pcdoed ship, and hide the periscope behind her. Another is to capture a small sailing vessel, put an officer aboard and maneuver her to conceal from an approaching ship the half- submerged submarine which lays alongside. There are others, also, and many, but which it would not be proper to disclose. A favorite strat- egy of the submarine that can be worked however at only certain hours of the day is to lay well off in the path of the sun and when a ship is seen and her course and speed noted, to submcrge and come up suddenly at a convenient angle and torpedo her victim. The naval people are meet ing all conditions successfully, and the big liners are again making the perilous voyage practically with safe tv assured, as is shown by the heavy passenger lists of late months in go- ing to or coming from Europe. For myself, however, I am through with ocean trips until the war is over.'
 Mir. Childs comes to this section on an important mining trip, and remains for some time, devoting himself to the copper country west of Prescott.

 Of the nine reputed leaders of the l. w. w. deported from Jerome and later brought to Prescott and lodged in the county jail, none now remain in durance. James P. Thompson, the fiery orator of the Washington see of the Industrial Workers, and Eli Kan gus were released yesterday, follow ing the decision of the county attor- ney not to file complaints against them.
 Thompson and Kangus and one or two of the others who have been let out at various times, remained in the city yesterday. A number of them went to the afternoon train, and the rumor got about that they had taken their departure This proved un. founded, however, and it was thought they had gone to meet a friend and fellow worker, coming in from the north.
 John E. Rountree, one of the nine, who seemed younger than the other prisoners, was released in order that he might join the First Arizona In- fantry. He was sent south by Lieu. tenant D. R. Anderson, to join the regiment at Naco.

HUNT FAILURE TO
 MEDIATE RECOGNIZED

PHOENIX, July 25.-The work oi George w. P. Hunt as Federal medi- ator for Arizona, as reviewed here, IS found to be conspicuously lacking in results. He has failed to bring the miners and the operators in the Globe Miami district together, and this is the field in which he sat is avoirdu- pois down since his appointment. As chief conciliator, he IS supposed to have something to do with mediatine all the strikes in Arizona. The Je- rome situation was cleared by prompt, vigorous action on the part of the citizens Of Jerome and Prescott. Bis bee followed the example of the Hav- apai camp and weeded out its unde- sirables. Globe, with Federal troops in control, is still burdened with its agitators. Clifton and Morenci are deadlocked and shut down cold, with a good prospect of remaining so in- definitely.
 Hunts lack of ability to speak with the operators in terms of conciliation and his oft vowed affection for the laboring man were never so well dem onstrated as in his utter failure to make progress. The operators haven't any confidence in him and the miners have too much for their owr, good.
 One of the first evidences that Hunt
