TEXANS HUNTING GRASS.

The drouth in parts of Texas, has resulted in a rush for the national forest ranges of Arizona in an effort to save the cattle be- fore it is too late to move them.
 Applications for space in the forest reserves have deluged the local forest headquarters. All have been firmly refused, even when evidence of luxurious growth was given.
 "That grass is thick, it is true," was the general reply, but it is the last grass of. the season and there will be no more this year. We must protect the cattle already on the ranges"
 In the section from Tucson to the line, the grass has been ex- ceptionally good this year owing to the heavy rains. There is an abundance of cattle and they are fatening. g.-Arizona Cattleman.

The Weiland, and Coch- ran properties, situated eight miles south of Patagonia, with lead. silver and copper ores, would commence working at once with a shelter in the neigh borhood.
 The Three R. mine, 8 miles southwest of town, a straight copper proposition, has 75 men working. It has a fine concen. trator, and expects soon to be treating POO tons daily, putting about 8 in to 1. The Arizona European. adjoining the Three R. on the south. has 15 men working on a fine showing of high grade silver and copper.
 The Wandering Jew mine, IA miles northwest of Patagonia, has just completed small con- centrator and is putting through about 25 tons of ore daily, turn ing out about four tons of con centrates, lead, silver and cop per. The Mcdonald mine (Pinal) II miles north of here, has about 25 men working, with a fine showing of high grade copper and silver. The deepest working is only about 25O feet, on a fine body of ore, from which a car is shipped about once a week.
 Many other mines would start up and produce from one to ten tons daily with a smelter at or near Patagonia. Ores from mines south of Tucson could be shipped to shelter here by a 40 to 50 mile haul; thousands of tons are shipped from that country to El Paso, Douglas, Hayden and Sasco, that would have one third the hauld to a smelter at Pata- gOnia. a.-Patagonian.

A PROCLAMATION.
By The Governor of Arizona Exc cutive
 Department State of Arizona.

WHEREAS. It is necessary for the United States to raise. during this, the first year of our War with Germany, eighteen and one half billions of dollars, or about forty seven of each one hundred dollars that we earn; WHEREAS. Our Government must get this astounding amount either by taxation of the people or by borrowing from them and is seeking through the sale of Liberty Bonds. to obtain a part of this huge sum with which to carry on our share of the conflict and provide means for our allies to prosecute fight which must be won, if world democracy shall survive:
 Now THEREFORE, I, THOMAS B. CAMPBELL. Governor of Ari- zona, under the authority in me vested, do hereby urge upon all those firms, companies, corpora tions and citizens, who are financially able to bear a share of this burden, to subscribe as literally as possible to the second issue of Liberty Bonds of the United States which is offer ed to the public, beginning October first. 1917. and would direct special attention to the following facts in regard thereto:
 We are in this> War; we must win and to do it, the money must be found
 The more the Government will allow you to loan to it,. the less you will be taxed; ease taxation by buying a Liberty Bond.
 Money is wasted on unneces- saries in our Country which, if loaned to it, might turn scale to Victory and save thousands of precious lives:
 Economic and save. Extrava- gance must stop.
 When you buy a Liberty Bond you have what is as, good as money, to borrow on or to sell and it pays good interest.
 Taxes are dead expense; they never come back; they pay no interess. You must be taxed if you will not buy;
 The civilized world is fighting, that Right may prevail and that the world be made safe for honest people to live in. Our boys are giving their lives; our allies, their lives and money, and | the least we can do is to support | their efforts.
 Do your share. Duty demands | it, common sence advises it and | your Government expects it.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF. have hereunto set my hand and | caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.

Marcus Loew, founder and moving spr- it of the Loew enterprises, consisting of a chain of 150 theatres throughout the United States and Canada, is doing his bit'' in the liberty bond campaign and last week gave time in all his theatres to the speakers on liberty bonds. To fur ther the movement, he now proposes te admit free to his playhouses everywhere the holders of liberty bond or certifi- cate of the same This action, in con nection with Mr. Loew's other activities in the sale of the liberty bonds, has ca He'd forth most favorable expressions from the press; in fact, Arthur Bisbane, the great editorial writer of the New York Journal, gave commendatory edi- torial mention to the public spiritedness of Loew.

DESTRUCTION OF
 PROPERTY GREAT
 IN SAN SALVADOR
Loss of Life From Earth quake Is Very Small. There Is Much Suf-
 fering, However

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, June g. Although the earthquake which shook San Salvador, capital of Salvador, and neighboring towns Thursday evening, caused considerable destruction of prop erty, it is not believed that the loss of life was very great. However, no authentic information of the casualties and damage caused by the earthquake and the simultaneous eruption of the San Salvador volcano is as yet obtainable.
 Some of the principal commission houses and theatres in San Salvador were destroyed, as were hundreds or smaller homes The neighboring towns of Armenia and Quezaltepeque were vlr- tually wiped out and most of the cas- ualties caused by the disaster occurred there. The large town of Santa Tecla' several miles west of San Salvador, suf- fered great property damage, but the loss of lie there was small.
 The earth shocks continue to be felt Tn the countryside around San Salvador, but they are diminishing in intensity.
 The better class of residents Of the salvadorean capital, according to the ac- counts of eyeW1tnesSes, were estllHs .ho evening meal when the city and surround ing towns began to shake. This was at o'clock Thursday evening and almost simultaneously the San Salvador volcano began to throw out lava and ashes through three freshly opened craters The extremely low casualty list in San Salvador is believed to be due to the earry hour of the disaster, as 1t enabled the inhabitants to flee to the streets and other open places as soon as the first shock was felt.
 torrential rain accompanied the earth quake and for six hours the rain fell without cessation, greatly increasing the surrerings of the inhabitants who hau erected temporary shelters in the squares and public gardens.
 Although the earth shocks were felt at 2 considerable distance from the center of activity, the departments of San Sal vador and La Libertad were chiefly af- fected
 Funds for the relief of the earthquake sufferers are being raised in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

British Airn1en ShotU
 Absolute Mastery h
 Great Messines Fight
By Associated Press

With their overwhelming weight of massed guns and Tn hand hand fighting at some points the British have beaten off all German counter attacks upon their newly-won posi- tions beyond the Messines ridge. Prus- sian and Bavarian troops, driven for ward under a storm of fire poured upon them from advanced British bat tery positions, suffered frighttully. As this dispatch is written they had succeeded in recapturing and holding only one British post, at Klein Zille- beke, which had been pushed we'll for ward of the consolidated British main line.
 MISSED ON FLANkS
 Beaten back in the center, the Ger mans apparently have massed toward the falnks of the front on which the British advanced. They attempted sew eral times to organize heavy counter attacks in the direction of Warneton, but the British guns upset their plans.
 Some of the stiffest fights since the initial attacks began after dawn on Thursday have occurred southeast of Messines village with Germans ad- vancing from Warneton Australians have been in the thick of this Tight ing which at times has swayed to and fro about advanced posts.
 The booty from the Messnes battles has not yet been catalogued, but 1t Is knownN that more than 30 guns were captured, while many more were buried in battery positions which were all but obliterated in the hurricane fire which accompanied the assault.
 The German army defeated at Mes sines was commanded by General Count Sixt von Arnim, which made such an interesting report during the battle of the Somme last year in which he complained of the breaking down of the German army system.

 The father. too, was griefstricken. MT. Rect repeatedly had offered to pay any ransom sum demanded and promised at one time that he would not press the prosecution if the baby should be re- turned to him. Consequently the only reason apparent to officials for the murder of the baby was that searching parties at one time had been so close to the kidnapers that it became neces- sary for them to seek safety in nlgnt and had killed the little fellow.
