In Oatman District

OATMAN, Ariz., Oct 27.-Develop- ments in the Gold Road section of the district continue to lnonopoliZe the lions share of interest. At the Gold Road property new discoveries of ore have recently been made which are expected to double the extent of the ore reserves being opened up in the Line Road tunnel portion of the ex tensive Gold Road estate.
 The ore at present being developed is in branch vein running parallel to that originally explored. Some authorities hold that this is really the main vein of the system. It was reached by a cross cut from the tun- nel, the first ore being located in the foot wall portion of the vein.
 Futher exploration has revealed what looks like an equally large and important ore body on the hanging wall side of the vein. While it is impossible as yet to determine def initely the extent of the deposits be- ing opened up in this portion of the property there is good reason to be- lieve. that they may equal in value the original workings which kept the 3Ob- ton mill going for over ten years.
 Installation of the new plant at the Gold Ore is practically completed and

A ROOSEVELT PEACE

Colonel Roosevelts survey in his "The Foes of Our Own Household (Doran), of the nations which will figure copspicuously in any after-t the war settlement is as follows:
 The first demand made by MT. Roose- welt is. obviously. the restoration, with proper indemnity, of Belgium.
 France should receive back Alsace and Lorraine.
 England and Japan should keep the colonies they have conquered.
 Austria and Turkey should be broken up.
 Poland should be made independent, with Galicia and Posen included, and reaching to the Baltic.
 The Czechs and their Moravian and Slovak kinsmen should be made into a Greater Bohemia.
 The Jugo-S -Slavs should be united in one state.
 Greater Rumania should take in Eastern or Rumanian Hungary.
 The Turks should be busted from Europe.
 Constantinople can be made a free commonwealth. of the Straits, or given to democratic Russia, as events may determine.
 Arabia should be an independent MoSlem state.
 Probably Armenia should be inde- pendent
 Provision for the full protection of the Armenians, Christians. Druses and Mohammedans should be made.
 Northern Schleswig should go back to the Danes.
 The victorious Allies should them selves grant full autonomy to Lithu- ania and Finland; and to Ireland, home rule within the empire.

it is expected that sinking of the shaft and other work will be started within a week.
 The actual work of developing the Moss Back mine has been delayed on account of the illness of Manager W. H. HolcomD. The latter has recovered however, and expects to be on the ground within a short time. A com plete plant will be installed and the shaft lowered to the 560-foot level as rapidly as possible.
 Mining and milling continue at both the United Eastern and Tom Reed without variation from the usual rate of production. The output for October should at least equal the record es- abolished in September at both prop critics.
 4 slight improvement is reported in the character and value of the quartz being disclosed in the drift towards the northwest at the 400 foot level of the Sunnyside.
 At a distance of 500 feet from the portal of the United Oatman tunnel d cross cut to the east has been etaI ted and work in the face of the tunnel has been discontinued. Cross cuts are now being extended both tC the west and east, to tap two parallel lodges, while the present workings are in q third ledge over 100 feet wide At the 550- foot level, cross cut has been started to the south and west from the shaft of the United Nort hem. to explore the ledge first opened up on the 400-foot level

 On of the most interesting of these Tom Thumb republics is St. Goust, sit mated in one of the most inaccessible parts of the Bases -Pyrenees, which. so far as area is concerned, enjoys the distinction of being the smallest self governed state in the world. It IS hardly square mile in area. The pop ulation numbers 130 souls, who rule themselves mainly owing to the fact that the little state is so hard to get at that no one will take the trouble to alter it's constitution. Perched on a
 rocky mounain. St. Goust has such a steep descent that when any one. dies it is quite impossible to have an ordin- ary funeral.
 A coffin could not be carried down the mountain side. and consequently the inhabitants have cut a groove into the face of the rock, and the coffin IS
 made fast to a rope and allowed to slide down to the cemetery in Ossau valley below, where all baptisms and marriages are performed.
 About 150 miles from St. Goust is to be found the Republic of Andorra, an almost inaccessible state of about 1000 ! inhabitants, situated in the eastern i PyreneeS. Andorra was declared a free state as long ago as the ninth cen l tury by Charlemagne. The republic is 1 governed by it's own representatives, | who constitute a sovereign council of | twenty four members, which council elects president every four years.
 The smallest republican state in re- | gard to population is Tavolara, Vittle- | known island about five miles long
 with an average width of half mile l situated off the north coast of Sar- | dinia. Yet it is free and independent republic of about seventy inhabitants who are their own rulers.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2s.-Mine- Rescue car No , of the United States bureau of mines, in charge Of C. A. Herbert, coal mining englneer, and . crew of trained men, reached Madrid, x. M., today. The car will be on eX hibition every day from 5 a. III. to } D. m, and free lectures will be given lo miners on safe methods of mlnin2 the use of safety lamps and rescue apparatus, and mine gases. On No vember 5. the car will go ot Gallup. \. NJ. to remain until November IL after which date it will proceed to Phoenix, Ariz., to remain until No vember r.
 This mine rescue car is one of eight now in use by the bureau of mlnos for training miners in first aid anl Iescue methods and the use of oxygen breathing apparatus. Each car has crew that includes two experienced miners, a mining engineer in charge, and a mine surgeon, and is equipped with the latest rescue and first ait apparatus and supplies. At a mo- ments notice the car is ready to pre- Ceed to the scene of a mine disaster, where the bureau men place them selves under the direction of the state
 
 10 do everything possible to assist or save miners who may have been in- jured or entombed.
 The saving of human life and less ening the suffering of injured miners ale the central features of the bu- reau's work.
 Miners are shown how to use rescd4 apparatus, and how to take care of en injured comrade. The lectures are Illustrated by lantern slides and mov- ing pictures which show good and bad methods of mining and how many ac- cidents are easily prevented. These lectures are given in the car when Q suitable meeting place can not be pro- cured elsewhere, but lantern slides and moving pictures can not be shown in the car
 Each car carries oxygen breathing apparatus, supply of oxygen in cyl finders, safety lamps a field telephone with 2,000 feet of wire, a collapsi0le steel mine cape, an apparatus for re- Viving miners who have been gassed and the charts, splints and bandages for demonstrating first aid methods
 Some of the training with rescue apparatus will be inside the mines also in smoke or fumes, so that wear CTS will understand the value of the apparatus and how to use it. A miner wearing the apparatus can enter { mine immediately after an explosion and work in smoke and black damI for two hours.
 Many thousand miners have beer trained in the use of this rescue ap- paratus at the bureau of mines cars and stations. It is hoped that in ths near future every miner in this coun- try will have a working knowledge o1 the apparatus, and that every min will have equipment ready for use il case of emergency. Many miner. have been saved after explosions by rescue parties wearing the apparatus Also, the apparatus has proved O great value in fighting mine fires.

PLACES IN EUROPE
 UNTOUCHED BY WAR

To many people the fact that there are number of independent republics fiourishing amid this world -conflagra- tion untouched by the ravages of the war with all it's horros will doubtless seem incredible. There are, however, biJou states in various parts of Europe so completely isolated from the rest of the world that it is quite possible that many of their inhabitants are not aware of the gigantic and deadly struggle thas is raging all around them
 and on which hang the destinies of the worlds mightiest nations. Indeed. says a London newspaper, it is very few

 Probably the proudest showing in the state is that of the Tucson, New Cornelia and Gila Bend railroad, which found a way to take $l00,0 of the loan. The road, extending A miles from Gila Bend to Ajo, has been Il operation less than three years.

 The Lure of the Dark
 GLOBE. Ariz., Oct. 27.-Movine picture theaters are declared to af- ford the best barometer in respect to increasing forces employed in the mines and the degree of prosperits enjoyed by these workers. Followins the advance in the price of copper in 1915 and the adoption by mining com panies of the profit sharing wage schedule, thearer attendance increases to maximum epjoyed in 1916 and the first half of thsi year. Develpo ment Of the period of labor trouble reduced theater attendance to the minimum known since the panic pc riod at the outbreak of war in 1914 when the wages of miners went to the record low in many years and ope1 ating forces were cut in half Since the resumption of work Ii? the mines Of the Globe and Miami dis tricts i'll the last half of August theater attendance has steadily mounted until it is now back to neai normal. The bulk of attendance is made up of mine workers, undel - ground men in particular finding Ie- taxation and special attraction in the picture theaters.

HOLD "WAR" COUNCIL
Paper Manufacturers Called Before
Secret Session of Investigators.

Washington, Feb. J4-Newsprint
PAPER manufacturers now being inves-
tigated by a federal grand jury in New
York hurried here unexpectedly today
to confer with the federal trade COM
mission.
None of those at the conference
would say what was discussed or who
proposed it but il was not denied that
the course of the department of JUS
tice was taken up. The federal grand
Jury in New York has been asked to
return indictments against manufac-
tprers for violations of the antitrust
laws.
The trade commission will send a
preliminary report of it's investigation
to congress within a few days but 1t
is the intention to continue the inves-
tiGation under the direction of Francis
j. Heney of San Francisco.
Efforts of the commission have
been directed largely toward finding a
way to reduce prohibitive newsprint
prices. Thus far the manufa cturers,
it is said. have shown little willingness
to cooperate.
The manufa cturers here today were
Philip T. Dodge, Chester w. Lyman
and Owen Shepherd, all of the Inter-
national Paper company; George FL.
Mead. Dayton. o., and Alexander
Smith of Chicago.

Lower House Passes Bird Ster-
ilizatiOn Measure Today.
Crime i'm Topeka Responsible
for Introduction OF Bill.
REDUCE NUMBER OF CRIMES
Operations May Be Performed
on State Institution Inmates.
Surgeons Can't Be Prosecuted
Under Criminal Statutes.

Repetitions of the Bissell crime and
similar offenses will be prevented I'M
der the Bird bill which today passed
the house of representatives by an al
most unanimous vote Birds bill
provides for operations to prevent
procreation by the mentally and ply
calIy deficient in state institutions.
The author of the bill believes his
measure will pass the senate and be-
come a law with its publication in
the statute book.
1t was the Bissell crime in Topeka
last spring which aroused the state to
rea lization of the need of drastic
legislation. Prior to the assault and
murder of little Edna Dinsmore. Bis
sell had been an inmate in the state
penitentiary. He had been paroled by
the state board of corrections and the
parole approved by Governor Capper.
Protests came from all sections of the
state against the lax laws for the pro
lection of women and children against
moral perVertS and the Bird measure
was introduced early in the presents
legislative session in an effort to cure
the evil
The Purpose of Bill.
Had the Bird bill been on the statute
books last year, it is quite certain that
BisseI would have been subject to its
dergone an operation before leaving
prison. Bird declared today that his
bill was drafted with the express pur-
poses of reaching such cases as were
revealed in the publications of the de-
tails of the assault and murder of the
DinSmOre girl.
Under provisions of the bill govern
ing officers of any of the state insti-
buttons may certify to tt managing
board that the condition of an in
mate demand an operation such as is
tprovided under the Bird bill. If the
medical officer and managing board
of the institution find upon. investi-
cation that such an operation would
improve the condition of the patient
or inmate of the institution or add to
the protection and safety of society,
they may direct the operation. Off
GERS and surgeons responsible for
the operation are relieved by pro-
visions of the bill from prosecution
under the original law of the state.

WithhOIds Permission for Navy

MAY Go Before Congress Tor
Additional Authority.
RUMOR SPLIT IN CABINET
Difference OF Opinion on Arm
ing Ships Among Officials.
Disastrous Effect on Internal
and Export Shipping.

Washington. Feb. 14.-President
Wilson is expected now to defer a de-
cision on the question of furnishing
guns to American merchant ships I'M
til he decides whether to so before
congress and ask for additional au-
thority for the protection OF american
ships and lives.
II was Indicated in authoritative
circles today that there had been no
change in the policy of the govern
ment up to the present time ana that
none is in immediate prospect.
The accumulation of incidents IN
volying violations of American rights
since the diplomatic break with Ger
many is generally believed by admin
istration to be fastening the ap-
proach of the hour when the presi-
dent again will be before congress.
The re-detention of the seventy-two
Americans brought in on the prize
ship Yarrowdale is regarded as an
other acute indication Of Germany's
disregard of American rights.
Renew Protest Over Captives.
If, in fact, a vigorous protest has
not already gone forward it will be
sent in the near future, unless Ger
many promptly releases the men. A
definite sentiment gained ground in
administration quarters today that an
accumulation of acts indicating dis
regard 1Or American F1SnIS VIII nave
as much to do with shaping the policy
of the United States as any overt act
that may be committed against Amer
lean ships While it was indicated at
the state department that there can
be no legal objection to the govern
Inent furnishing guns to American
ships, President Wilson is s2id to be
disinclined to take any step that might
give Germany the slightest ground for
throwing responsibility for any future
trouble upon the United State5. This
was the governments attitads to-day,
altho it was admitted that there al
ways was possibility of chan ge, ac-
cording to circumstances.
Nation Is Blockaded.
Reports of the piling up of freight
destined to Europe, the temporary
shutting down of grain elevators and
the other evidences of the effect OF
the new submarine campaign on neu-
trail commerce are regarded as part Of
the accumulation of aggravations
which are expected to lead to action.
SO far the government has received
nothing official to indicate any change
of submarine policy by Germany and
can only believe that American lives
or ships may be sacrificed at any mo-
ment.
Vigorous denials We're made today
to reports of split in the cabinet over
the question of furnishing guns to
American ships. Naturally, it was
said, there may be differences of judg
ment, but it was declared that the
members of the cabinet will stand
solidly behind the president in any
decision he may make.
