BRASS PIRATES SUS-
 PECTED OF BIG LOOPING
(From Sundays daiiy.j

Three hundred pounds of brass ma chine fittings, shipped last week by automobile from Prescott to Phoenix by automobile, and there sold in a junk shop, so aroused suspicion in the capital city that an investigation was begun, and in its course, the sheriff S office here was notified. It is certain, they think that the brass was plum dcred from mining machinery in Yav- apai county.
 \ similar shipment of copper blocks resulted in the arrest and the plea of guilty to petit larceny of one Theo- dorc Dirks in the Superior court last week. That transaction called atten- ton to the labitual footing of metal throughout this county and set on foot a rigid investigation. So far, it has not developed who has lost the brass machinery parts, but it is be- lievcd that little publicity will bring forth several mine operators who have suffered at the hands of the cop per pirates. It is understood that the Phoenix officials need only to know that warrant has been sworn to, and that they can locate the two men who sold the brass to the junk dealer

T|M0ROUS HOLD
 UP MAN RUNS AND SHOOTS
EVENING HOURS AT CAMP VERDE WHILED AWAY BY THRILLING ALMOST
 ROBBERY AT ARIZONA POWER CO. BUNKHOUSE.
(From Saturdays Dsily)

The story of timid hold-up man was related in a report to the sheriff's office by Deputy Bartlett of Camp Verde yesterday. The hold.up man didn't get anything, and the officers didn't get him-hc decamped too swiftly.
 It occurred at the bunk-house of the Arizona Power Company at Camp Verde night before last. A number of the men were in the bunkhouse when an individual of moderate size, wearing a gray suit, and having the lower part of his face hidden by red bandanna handkerchief appeared at the door. A. Harleen chanced to be coming in, and as he saw the man with the bandanna, the latter produced q nickel-plated six-shooter Harleen thought some practical joke was be- ing played. and he gave the hold-up playful shove. The man started and shot Harleen through the foot. Then, apparently overcome by nervousness, he discharged the gun again and made of at speed. Although Bartlett and others arc seeking the man, it is re- garded as unlikely that he can be found. unless betrayed by further "overt acts" for he left in such hurry that he didn't leave very good impression of his physical makeup with those who got glimpses of him

BIG LEDGE CASE ON
 LAST LAP OF LAWSUIT
(From Tuesdays Daily.1

Another hearing on the Big Ledge dispute IS scheduled for the Superior court this morning, Judge Frank H. Lyman of Phoenix, presiding. And, it is thought, with the conclusion of this part of the trial, the first lap of the race between minority and ma jority stockholders for half million dollars worth of the stock, will be over
 Oral arguments and briefs will be submitted by both the plaintiff and the defendant today, and, if they de- sire. the intcrvenors, C. r. Ryer and J. $. Gnash may introduce testimony.
 It is alleged by the minority stock holders that Charles Batrc, Ernest Lc Due and two others acting with them, issued themselves a huge block of the treasury stock of the company, thus gained possession of the offices of president, vice-president and di- rcctorS, and began to shift things around to suit themselves. It is all legged that the same men then organ izcd the Big Ledge Development Co. and by resolution agreed to sell the mining company's assets to the de- vclopmeut company, operating to the minority stockholders, ono share of development stock for five of mining stock. Instead of doing this. the mi nority owners charge, the officers by resolution changed the name of the Big Ledge Development Company to the Big Ledge Copper Company and refused to issue stock on Big Ledge Mining Company certificates. They also say that they concurred in the resolution of March 25, 1915, believ- ing that it forecast only the granting of an option for one year and not a sale of the company's assets.
 A great quantity of testimony has been put in in this case, and it is being hard fought. The two intervenors arc asking their bills, chiefly for la bor. be paid

RAILROAD SAFE AT
 DEWEY IS BLOWN OPEN lErnm TuesdaY's DailYl

Bearing plain evidence of being the same handiWork as the safe job donc in the Prescott Steam Laundry hcrc few weeks ago, is the soup stunt committed in the office of the Santa Fc agent at Cherry station some time Saturday night. The crackSman in turning this trick earned the sobriquct of the Grape Juice Burglar, for, be- side blowing the door off the safe and scattering the 150 pcnnicS-its sole money contcnts-all over the office. he cracked case ut grape juice in the freight shed and drank off the contents of a quart bottle, apparently without batting an eye.
 The yeggman seems 10 know about railroads Instead of going to the trouble of carrying a kit of tools, he depends on the nearby trains and equipment sheds to supply him with implements. For the laundry job, he borrowed a set of tools from a work shed Saturday night, he swipcd q brake block key from a nearby box car
 The safe was small one The side and lower seams of the door had been carefully and thoroughly daubcd with yellow soap, prepared as crackSmcn prepare ii, in order to stop mp the cracks. \ small funucl-Shapcd rcscr- voir of soap had been nodded 'n th" center of the top seam, and here, lilt soup, or nitroglycerinc-ihc skim mings off d pot of dynamic, bo;''". in watcr-,had been poured, uat;i ., filled the cracks and lodged in the cast iron lock box. \ lot oi ,.ags of rolled oats and some blankets had been placed against the door to dead cn the noise and force uf the cNplo- sion. Spattcrs of yellow soap were found all over the office, where they had been blown by the force of the concuSSion.
 Agent Holder notified Supcrinicnd- cut Storey, and the latter went to Dewey to investigate He looked around and found the brake block from which the key had been bor- rowcd.
 Oddly enough. these two jobs have ucttcd the burglar or burglars but little for their pains. Out of the first safe. they secured not over M or SS. Saturday night, the only thing of val JIG they discovered was d haiful of pennies, which were apparently not considered worth scooping up.

 At the county jail, the two Nippon CSC faced each other and told their stories. It was suggested that they be allowed to fight it out, and Cecil expressed willingness, but George said he never had no business with this fighting. Cecil accused George of having an American flag or some such design tattooed to his manly bosom.
 Cecil looked at his Ingersoll and concluded that he had an engagement to cook dinner for his boss, and couldn't he go. He could and did, while George went forth seeking a justice of the peace, from whom he hoped to wiring a warrant for the ar rest, detention and subsequent punish ment of Ban.

DROP IN SILVER CLAIMED
 DUE TO EMBARGO
(From Sundays Daily.l

Bar silver dropped 27sc per ounce during the week 10 final at 73c The decline in the price of bar silver is directly due to the embargo which has been placed on the metal by the transatlantic vessels operating be- tween American and European ports, as d result of the unrestricted U-boat warfare, silver being cont-aband. The present situation, however, Is only temporary, as the Allies arc in urgent need of the white metal for coinage purposes, due to the steady hoarding of gold and its withdrawal from cir culation. as d result of which silver is required to take its place, and must be had at all costs.
 Fresh supplies of silver arc by no means substantial. while stocks arc being lowered gradually London re- ports that, notwithstanding the heavy purchases recently made for the ln- dian mint, the holdings of silver coin in the Indian trcaSuricS continue to
Weekly journal-miner., 1917-03-28

shrink, while China has not yet en- tirely ceased from releasing portions of her already largely-depleted silver coinage holdings, all of which points are factors in the strengthening of the silver market, and which will prob ably be reflected to a larger extent later on. Naturally, there was the usual profit-taking on the recent rapid advance, which, of course, had some effect, although this is a comparative ly negligible factor
 Undoubtedly some way will be found for safeguarding the shipments of silver, the same as for the base met als, which are an absolute necessity to the Allied armies.
 There is no denying the importance of the position of silver in the world of finance today, and with its strength assured, it will be a most important factor in the prosperity of the entire country and particularly of the silver producing States of the West.
 The action of the silver market in the past few months IS exactly in keeping with predictions made during the past year. It was pointed out that the price of the metal would ad- vance as the end of the war ap- preached, and that it would probably be at very much higher levels when hostilities had been concluded. This prediction is made in view of the ter rife demand which is bound to set in for the metal for coinage purposes and arts by all of the belligerents, as a result of the necessity for hoarding their gold reserves after the war in order to bolster up their foreign trade balances.
 It is, therefore, not outside the limits of reasonable supposition to advance the contention that the trc- mendous exigencies of recuperation and reorganization after the war IS ended may lead to more than one re- vision of monetary systems that will give silver a value more nearly ap- preaching that which it possessed when it was one of the legal tender money metals of the world It is, therefore, evident that silver still has its best days ahead of it.-Ricc's In dustrial & Mining Age.

TURNS FORD JOKE
 TO PRACTICAL ACCOUNT (From Sundays Daily.)

A Chicago company, beginning with q modest capitalization or S5,OOO has created such a run on Ford cars that arc yet not Fords that the practical jokcrs are propounding the query When Is Tin Lizzie not a Tin Liz zic?" It seems that the company in question conceived the scheme of equipping the stock Ford chassis and motor with a body designed after the sumptuouS lines of the palatial Euro pean motor cars, the result being an extremely classy roadster selling Tn the ncighborhood of 5000 which bore the same resemblance to its sisters in the regular Ford dress that peacock bears to barnyard hen. The expen- diturc of a few hundred dollars brought such an avalanche oi inquiries and orders that the Ben Hur Com pany of Illinois, which manufactured the cars, was forced to corral the en- tire output of the local Ford output for the space Of a day to catch up with their deliveries.
 When the case was reported to Ford in Detroit 1t is said 1t created a mental state not at all in accord with his well known peace proclivities. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, and fl some Of them want their Tin Lizzie in Q party dress instead of a Mother Hubbard, Henry can hardly blame them So the war between the Ford and the Ben Hur Fords goes mcrrily on.
