eminent going through such strife as 1t
was at that moment For it was not
an uncommon thing for a Mexican to
put people in prison and then forget
all about them for years.
As Liberty CROPPED her way about the
darkened room she admitted there was
little encouragement The place seemed
as fmpregnable as the center of the
earth Her only hope was in searching
for the slightest thing that might act
as means of assistance to her So
she began running her hands over the
walls, feeling each stone and assuring
herself that the masonry was firm and
solid 1t was 8 long and tedious job,
and after she had covered two sides of
the room without any results, she be-
gan to think it was useless. But she
refused to give up courage and contin-
ued cropping her way along. feeling
each stone and testing its firmness.
Finally, as she was about to give up
in despair, she found bit of loose
masonry; for as she touched one of
the stones the cement crumbled and
fell on the ground Instantly her hopes
rose and she proceeded to find where
1T had come from, and discovered that
1T had dropped from the wall at a spot
within easy reach, just opposite her
shoulders.
With both hands she started to pick
at the cement, which was easily dis
lodged When she had picked this out
she found a crevice large enough to
admit her hand. She touched the
stone. 1t was loosei She could
hardly refrain from crying out with
joy. 1t was a big stone, and it was
heavy, too. She doubted whether she
would have been able to bulge it I'M
der different circumstances Placing
both of her hands flat against it, she
showed with all her might. 1t moved!
Again she tried it, with the same re-
suit. She kept this up for several min
utes, and each time she put her weight
against 1T the big stone was forced.
further and further, inch by inch, back.
A ray of light crept through the crew
ices, and, small as it was. it seemed
almost to dazzle her after her solitude
in the darkness.
Finally. summoning all her strength,
she gave the stone one long shove, and
it went topping over, and fell in the
next room. She heard it strike the
ground, and then. pulling herself up,

opening in the wall. Arriving on the
other side, she found herself in a SUBJ
terranean chamber, similar to the one
she had just left Her hopes were
crushed, for, as she gazed about her,
she concluded it was worse. small
opening near the roof permitted ray
of light to enter the room. She started
to investigate her surroundings when
she suddenly drew back in horror On
the ground were number of skele-
tons, evidently the remains of those
who had been prisoners like herself
and had died in misery. In the center
of the room was pool of stagnant
water. -szh
Liberty turned from the sight with
a sickening heart as she realized there
was no other egress except the one
she had dug herself, and, seeing no
other alternative, she started to return,
when, to her horror, she found the hole
had been closed and she was pris-

COMMISSIONER MoEuR
 rELLs OF POLICY

TUCSON. April 2+-That the state land commission is offering state lands for sale only in cases where II is certain that the lands will sell at the minimum or application for their purchase has been made was the statement of " Moeur. state land commissioner. who was here Saturday for the Southwestern Cat tlemen's convention.
 Gentlemen as a rule find 1t un- profitable to buy state land exclu- sively for range purposes" said Mir. Noeur When they pay the inter- est on the investment. the annual payments on the pincipal and taxes on the whole the charge Is too great for every COW which can be ranged on the land"
 We like to get the land on the tax roll and give every reasonable opportunity for the improvement of the same If i, has a value as pros pective agricultural land It offers some inducement for speculation but will seldom bring 8 an acre solely for the range land.
 Several months ago about 5000 acres were purchased by California people south of the Southern Pacific between Tucson and var. It is their intention to put settlers on this land and because of war conditions we are inclined to be very lenient and give every opportunity for the Improvements of lands in & case like this.
 Where 1t is apparent that the iand will become more valuable b the future we do not encourage the sale of the same.
 It is our general policy to have the land put on the tax roll, however where Its actual and speculative value to the state Is not more than the minimum price,"

IMPROVE MGNvS

On every hand one sees improve ments going on in Tombstone. The Day and Night Garage. owing to in- creased business have had to lease more room and have taken over thir- ty fee, more frontage and the new addition as well as the old will have a concrete floor laid in it at once. work having started in it this morn ing. Yesterday morning Contractor Eckerman started in on some recon tsructioa work for the Masonic Building Committee. which when completed will give the local Ms sonic bodies a set of three club rooms that can be used for all club purposes. The three rooms will consist of the main lounging room which will be lS by 2s feet. . kiteh- en twelve by 14 feet and a banquet room F by 4S feet, together with . ladies rest room and a completely furnished kitchen will place the va- rious local Masonic bodies in posi- ton to enjoy that which has long been lacking in Tombstone. The Order of Eastern Star will give the rooms a house warming" next Fri day night and while the rooms will not all be completed. yet the floors and ceilings will be in and the paint. ing and paperins will be done later. The Masonic bodies of this town with the Eastern Star number four bodies and this move is met with the approval of all the orders. Several private dancing classes are now using the finished rooms.

NATIONAL GUARD
 RECRUITING sERvicE

PHOENlX. April 24-Eight days of active recruiting throughout the State give e total of hfty-hve re- cruits passed through the Phoenix office. This does not include the number recruited either at Globe. Douglas. Bisbee or Yuma. indica- tions are that the coming week will exceed in numbers even this splen- did number. Interest in First Ari- zoua infantry is being built up by every means possible. All the ad- verse criticism of the regiment is being shown to be nothing but en- yious talk or unfounded scandal. No regiment that has served on the bor- der since the Mexican disturbance has a finer health record than the Arizona infantry, and this goes for regulars as we'll as National Guard regiments. Now that there is a chance of active service, men of the state are coming in faster than be- fore. It is confidently predicted that the recruiting of the regiment to full strength will be completed without the resort to the draft. This does not mean that there Is any ex- cuse or any good reason why young men should not enlist and that right early. but that a volunteer regiment is superior to a draft regiment.

PHOENIX. April 2s-Th- west IS stin full of opportunity for the ad- venture hunter to sscure his 1ll in the unexplored region of Arizona. This much. at least. was denons,rat- ed the past week by an expedition directed by Wesley Hill into the mountains in tee Vicinity Of I:oose- welt lake.
 Filled with a desire to learn uore of the country through which the Apache trail leads, Mir. Hin early last week fitted out an automobile and started a party in the Erection of Four Peaks mountains. Mir Hill. one of the old stage drivers of the trail had often heard stories of an old caye up in the mountains where a large band of Indians had been an nihalted by government troops fr'm Fort Mcdowell He had related this tale to many tourists Just for what it was worth. but the home folks were won't to take he story as an Indian fable.
 It was with difficulty trat men bers of the party were inally able to locate the much talked of cave. It was SO hidden among rhe rocks and brush of the mountain that it vas not diseernable ur..l a person -Gme almost to its mouth. For this -.tson. many hours were spent by -,embers of the pa-.y within ston-'s throw of the caYa before it as at last discovered.
 The sight which mel the gaze of ga explorers on entering the cave ras .ghastly one. According to nose who first entered me floor of ;he cave closely rese'nbieG an old 1Ee yard. Here it wal. according ,,. the story. that about s) braves Gre trapped and lost their lives
 As proof that the exploring party actually discovered the cs.e and found therein the boa-s of a large number of Indians. members of the expedition brought back n PhoenIx several skulls and jaw bones. which are now on display at the Wesley Hill office on South Second street Dr. James. who accompanied the party. also took several photographs of the care.
