 BACK THE AMULET
(Fronl Wednesday, Daily.)

Among the mining movements of special interest to this field, crystal lizcd recently, is the resumption of the old Amulet, which revives the carly days when silver mining was the main metal industry of this county.
 This property has been taken over primarily on the ground of silver prices coming back, and is akin to the wave of resumption which is so mani festly in evidence as one by one old time properties are wheeling into line to face the modern principle in oper- ating as against the primitive of the past. With an attractive market again open and with Notation as a strong inducement for recovering

 During negotiations which have been going on for some months, secrecy was maintained, in order tha: sale might be concluded after the engineers of MT. Crawford had made their final reports, which were given publicity yesterday as very favorable. The old dumps were sampled and as we'll all underground workings that were reached, values in silver and lead being exceptionally high. Mir. Anderson and MT. Crawford were in accord as to the values carried, and accordingly the sale was readily con- summated.
 Mir. Crawford yesterday in speaking of the deal said that the Incorporating of the Thumb Butte Consolidated Mines Company would be effected at once, and arrangements definitely closed for beginning large operations this month, in which all old workings would be cleaned out, machinery in stalled and production inaugurated.
 "I am very much pleased over this important deal being consummated after so long time spent in negotia- tions, and with silver above the dollar mark it is gratifying to know that my company has acquired such a desir- ous proposition" said Mir. Crawford yesterday. in speaking for those to be associated with him.
 This we'll known mining operator has offices in Oakland, Cal, and New York City. Among the local stock holders of the new company will be Mir. Anderson and Attorney Richard Lamson, as directors. A camp is to be established at once and placed in full action before Winter snows come. | It is also quite probable that shipping | will begin at once from the old dumps. |

the jury room on the floor below.
 Is Pleased at Verdict. =

Kiernan was made quite happy by rhe jury's acquittal. He stationed himself at the court room door and shook the hand of every juryman as he passed out of the building. Many of the defendants friends were pres- ent in court and all congratulated him on his acquittal Kiernan him. self stated that he was confident of his acquittal at all stages of the trial, although he did express q little sur prise at the speed with which the yer dict of the jury was reached.
 History of the Case.
 The murder for which Kiernan had been placed on trial occurred in Je- rome on Sunday, August l2, 1917. Daags, who had been separated from his wife and absent from town much of the time, accused Kiernan of sev- oral unprintable crimes. and on sev- cral occasions had made efforts to kill Kiernan. Kiernan boarded at the home of Mrs. Daags, and on one occa- sion in February of this year, Daags followed his enemy to his wife s boarding house and shot at him twice with his Six-shootcr. On the evening of the killing, the men met on the street in front of Ottos cigar store in Jerome and quarrel ensued. The men repaired to a vacant lot at the rear of the Bartlett hotel, evidently with the intention of settling their difficulties with their fists. Daags continued his abuse Of Kiernan and reiterated all of the charges which he had made against the man in the pas: Witnesses who saw the shooting state that the men quarreled for a few moments and then Kiernan drew his automatic and fired six shots at short intervals into the body of Daags. Later Kiernan hunted up an officer and surrendered He had been at lib- orty since his preliminary hearing un- der a bond of $22,50O, signed by a number of prominent citizens of the copper camp.

PATTERSON AGAIN
 IN THE LIMELIGHT
(From Thursdays Daily)

Ramsey Patterson, in the employ of the forest service as hunter and trapper. is making good. He yester- day exhibited the pelt of what is said to be the biggest bear ever killed in Arizona. It was shipped to Albuquer- que, and IS to go to the agricultural department at Washington, to be classified Patterson states he had been hunting this creature for the past month and when run onto there was lively fight in which the pack of hounds assisted him to fire two well-aimed shots that reached vital points, The bear was of the black species and weighed S01 pounds as it fell, and its condition indicated that it had been faring well off of cattle in the Mogollon mountains, along Tule canyon, where 1t had been roam- ing for many years. The killing of this beast has relieved rangemen of that section of further alarm in the loss of cattle. It is computed that for the past six years there have been killed fully 5000 worth of livestock by this destructive beast.

(From Thursdays Daily.)


 With the exception of 38, all of the l69 drafted men who arc to form Yavapai county's second contribution to the new national army, responded to the roll call yesterday evening in the United States court room, the headquarters of the local board
 A good-natured and enthusiastic crowd of fine looking young Ameri- cans began to assemble in the court room shortly before the hour of ;, and by the time for the roll call, there were about l75 men gathered. Harry Heap, member of the board, read off the names of the l6e Those who failed to respond when their name was called were the following: H. R. Rogers, K- B. Kirby, George C.

From among the men who had been called as alternates, about 20 failed to show up, and il is presumed that most of the alternates who did report will be sure of making the trip, as there are nearly 70 vacan- cies to be filled by selection of the board.
 MI. iiSdP, III duul lCSSliS lllC DONS yesterday evening, told them that they were to bear in mind the fact that they were now in the service of the war department, and that any breach of discipline would not be tolerated because of the fact that the men were now on the same status as the soldiers in the regular army. The men were divided into squads and those who de- sired to remain at their homes for the night were dismissed, and those who had requested the board to provide lodging for them were directed to their hotel
 The men will report to the board again this evening at o'clock. From that hour until the time for the de- parture of the II: 40 train, most of their time will be taken up, and no opportunity for further farewells will be given them.

CUPID VICTOR IN
 MOBILIZATION ROMANCE
(From Fridays Daii-.)

The operations of the grim-visaged god of war were interrupted for sufficient length of time yesterday afternoon to permit the elimination of pretty little romance of mobiliza- ton days, the principals in which were Nanny R. Castle and Miss Blanche Elizabeth Casner, with little D. Cupid as an interested spectator.
 The wedding ceremony was per formed by Judge McLane at 1 o'clock. just few hours before the bride. groom was called away to entrain for Camp Funston. James Marshall, of Camp Verde, and Mrs. Bernice An derson acted in the capacity of best man and bridesmaid respectively
 Mir. Castle, for some time past has been employed at the B.-B. store in the hardware section, and was re- gently selected as member of Yav- apai county's contingent to the Lib- erty Army Knowing that he was to be called away in a short time, he de- cided that he would prefer to leave behind him a wife instead of merely sweetheart. The young lady also de- cided that it would be a whole loi better to have her khaki-clad lover transformed into a husband, so she heartily agreed when the young man made his proposal, and the wedding of yesterday followed.
 Mrs Castle has announced her in tention of remaining in Prescott for the next few weeks, and may later join her husband at Fort Riley, if they both feel that this is desirable.
 War Wedding Solemnized.
 Judge McLane yesterday also per formed the ceremony which united George Jernigan and Miss Jamie Gertrude Wright, the groom being one of the boys who was called to Camp Funston to help put crimp in the world-domination aspirations Of Kaiser Wilhelm. The bride is a popular young lady and her friends are delighted to know that her TO- nance has had such a successful ter imitation.

values of a -fsighefz peteeNtaee than heretofore. the activity in this line of mining is but a. reasonable deduction to be drawn from the rapidity of deals being closed and the we'll found- ed interest shown for the future of this particular class of mining.
 The Amulet is now in the hands oi the General Mining O., which is active under the superintcndency of (. \. Brown, and is equipped with abundant funds for large operations. It was acquired from Judge J. M. w. Moore, and is situated few miles due east of the old Howell smelter on Lynx creek. Ii was originally located in 1886. and at intervals up to about ten years ago was worked by leasers. It has a productive record in silver alone of nearly Sl000O0, and sus- pended when silver declined.
 Mir. Brown gives publicity to de vclopment plans of the future, winch will be centered to sinking a new shaft away from the old workings to a vertical depth of 800 feet, from which point drifting has been decided upon in two directions to explore at depth surface Assures already deter mined. The arrival of new hoist and an air compressor and the erec- ton of many new camp buildings will convey the practical methods the rcw company will inaugurate in the future handling of their holdings. The new shaft has reached depth of 50 feet, and the plant leaves this city later in the week to expedite develop ment. In pioneer circles the reviving of the Amulet is occasioning wide spread comment and anticipations are being freely indulged in that this old timer is in line for exceeding its former favorable rating.

cation conducted by Carl Nrooman. as

Mr.. Erooman found that food upon
which the population would chiefly de-
pend is imported only in small amounts.
except in the case of rice. Tea and cof-
fee are also largely imported, but are
classed as Injuries. and would not be
necessary in war times.
Annual production and import fig
ures, compiled by experts under Mr..
Vrooman's direction, show that the ma
ton produces $4,000, 000,0 900 pounds of
meat and imports less than 100, 100000
pounds. mostly from Argentina. Aus
