YUMA COTTON LAND
BRINGS HIGH RENTAL.

Three hundred and twenty acres of
Yuma valley farming land has been
rented for three years at $50 per acre
per year. The total consideration is
s2S 200. This convincing proof of the
high estimation in which the fertile
acres of the Yuma project are held
was offered Friday, when o. p Bon
dessen leased to w. S. Blair of the
valley his place of the area men,
toned, near Somerton.
The lessee already has put large
force of men and teams on the place
and is giving it thorough preparation
for a bumper crop of cotton next
year.
A feature of the lease is a clause
providing that the lessee next year
shall release from the opertion of the
agreement the 10 acres lying nearest
to the town of Somerton, upon which
the Somerton Woman's club has an
option. The provision refers to the
owners generous action in favor OF
the club. He has agreed to sell to
that body the 10 acres in question at
its original cost to him, Sc an acre,
plus the actual cost of leveling and
other necessary improvements which
he has made on the property.
This amounts. practically. to a gift
to the club of a very substantial
amount, as land that can be rented
at the rate mentioned is worth sew
eral times the price stipulated in the
option. .if

Shattuck Heads
Greatly Pleased
With ShOWings

Finding grading under way for the
new mill which is to cash a million
tons of lead-silver ore from their mine.
with things in the mine going much
better than they had anticipated could
be the case 50 soon after the period oil
near close-down, Vice President Mum
day and Secretary-treasurer Chisholm
of Shattuck-Arizona expressed them
selves last evening as highly pleased
with their visit TO the district, which
commenced on Thursday when they
arrived from Duluth.
General Manager L. c. Shattuck OF
Shattuck-Arizona has been busy with
the visiting officials of the company,
showing them through the workings
and making general inspection of the
property.
With other members of the official
family of Shattuck they are proud OF
the rapid bringing back of the proper
ty to efficiency, and prouder still OF the
elimination which is now in sight OF
the work followed with steadfastness
and a great deal OF ingenuity during
the last year to the end of making the
values of lead-silver ores of the mine
quickly available.
This achievement not only puts the
Shattuck. in the way of adding to its
monthly contribut lion to war metals
which the government needs, but also
to the increased revenues which the
government will have coming due from
greater Shattuck earnings. The latter
will also represent considerable item
to stockholders of the company.

IGNORANCE OF LAW
WON'T HELP DRAFTEES

A warning to all men who have
moved or changed their addresses
since they registered Tor military
service is being sent out by General
Crowder, advising such men to notify
their local boards Immediately of such
change in address.
This is in order that the men will
gte their questionaires, which will be
sent out to every man beginning De-
cember Is. Registrars are required
to keep their local boards advised of
all change of address and to keep
themselves posted on the selective
draft law. General Crowder has sent
a telegram to Governor Campbell,
calling attention to the danger con-
fronting men who have changed their
addresses since registering. 1t reads
in part:
please cause the widest possible
publicity to be given of the warning
to registered men who have changed
their places of abode and postoffice
addresses. All such registrants must
communicate Immediately with the To-
cal boards where they are registered
and furnish their present addresses
SO that questionaires which will be
mailed December Is reach such regis
trants without delay.
Registrars are bound by law to
keep themselves advised of all pro-
ceedings in respect to themselves.
and failure to do so may result in
their losing the right to claim exemp-
tion or discharge"
The attention OF all registered men
is called particularly to the last para
graph of the generals telegram, for
its meaning affects every man. 1t is
well known that the government will
not be SO lenient with men who run
afouI of the law in the next draft as
was the case in the last draft.
According to the law "a man out
side of the jurisdiction of the local
where he is registered cannot procure
a questionable from the nearest local
board, fill it out and send it TO his
own local board. Each QUESTIONABLE
is sent out addressed to the individ-
ual, with his serial number and order
number stamped on it. This is the
only questionable that the man will
be allowed to fill out and return to
his local board.-Phoenix Republican.

FOUR C'S To START
WORK SOON REPORTED

The Cananea Consolidated Copper
Company has notified all of It's Ameri-
can employees to report to Canansa at
once ready to go to work this was of
ficially announced here today by an Of
fetal of the company.
The differences with the Mexican
government have all been settled and
it is believed the mill will be in op-
Grafton by December Is. The only
thing that is now delaying actual work
on the property is the receipt of the
necessary supplies, these have been
ordered and the men leaving here for
Cananea will take them in.
Application has been made. to the
government at Washington for per
mission to take the supplies into Next
co and foodstuffs that are now on the
embargo. Inasmuch as the Four C's is
so large producers of copper and that
the government is so in need of the
red metal it is not believed any diff
ficulty will be experienced in receiv-
ing the necessary permission.

The Fourth was anything but

The story scattered thru every pre-
cinct of the county--73 in all--and in
some cities merchants who took the
report as authentic, posted the list in
conspicuous places. Naturally there
was a hurried scanning of cards and
comparisons with the numbers al
legged to have been drawn The re-
suit made certain circles joyous, while
gloom prevailed among the seven or
eight hundred young men holding
those numbers who had visions of
leaving their homes and going direct
to the front.
The report reached Mendoza. La
Sale, Peru, Streator. Marseilles. OF
tawa and all other cities and towns
of the county. Had it been true,
seven or eight hundred young men
would have been getting ready today
to offer themselves for duty.
In all cases the numbers were den.

organized plot to throw good scare
into hundreds of homes and to spoil
the day for mothers, wives, sweet
hearts and sisters OF those men pos

spelling feature was worked to a
fineness that would have done justice
