CANANEA COPPER CO. SHUTS DOWN; ALL
 AMERICANS LEAVE
IBy Associated Press Leased WireI (FrOm Fridays Daily Miner)

NACO, Ariz., June 21-The Cana aea Consolidated Copper company at Cananea, Sonora, 50 miles south of here, pulled fires from it's smelters and mills and suspended operations today. Hundreds of Americans are now en route to the border in automobiles. Some 60 arrived by train late this af- ternoon. A special train is to leave Cananea at o'clock this evening, bringing out all the, Americans.
 General Manager Evans of the com pany is in Cananea and will remain until all the employees get out. There has been no rioting as yet, but an out break is feared at any moment.
 The shutdown of the mines and re- duction works, which employed some 10000 men, is due to a disagreement with the Mexican government, which ordered that American workmen be replaced by Mexicans. Increased taxes and tariffs on imports, it is said, made it impossible for the company to oper- ate at profit.
 Negotiations with Mexico City have been in progress for some time but thus far without avail. The shutdown will cause a famine in the camp short ly and riots are almost inevitable.
 American troops are on duty here to prevent disorder and cavalry is patroling the line east and west of NacO.
 The Cananea Consolidated is proba- bly, the largest producer of copper in Mexico. All of its product is shipped to the United States.

CHLORIDE APPLIES
 FOR TOWN PATENT
CFrOm Tharsday.s DaLIy AIiner.l

Judge J. 4. Ellis has at last gotten the application of the townsite of Chloride in tangible shape and the proof will probably be made before U. S. Commissioner Anson H. Smith some time in July. The town of Chlo- ride has made many attempts to get patent to the townsite, but until the present time the efforts have been fu- tile.
 It now behooves the people of the town to have the townsite surveyed and the lots plated. In this way and in this way only can deeds be obtained to the holdings of the various property owners. At the present time there are no alleys and few cross streets. Some of the people who have built houses in the residence section are finding themselves fenced in by other property owners on several sides of them. It is only by the laying out of streets can the town ever become of importance. Now is the time to straighten the matter out, not after houses have been built in places that streets should have been laid out in.

SAME OLD STUFF;
 SHOOTS AT RATTLER;
 HE DISCOVERS GOLD
From Fridays Daily Minerl

Same old stuff! For several years ". E. Noble freighted mine supplies trough the Calico canyon in Nevada. On his last trip, early in December, his wagon broke down, and as it was nearly time for camping, he hobbled his mules, built a fire, supped and rolled himself in his blanket and went to sleep. Toward morning he awoke and kicked the embers together and then noticed, against an enormous rock on the other side of the fire a coiled rattlesnake, now aroused and threat ening. The instant shot from NOble's revolver passed through the snakes head and struck the rock, chipping off a large scale and revealing in the light of the fire some glittering substance. Noble's experienced eyes told him that it was gold. With his axe he clipped off a few pounds of the mixed rock and ore, rode one of the mules into Elko and got an assay. It showed $50 gold and 900 ounces of silver to the ton. Two or three days blasting into the rock revealed a true rich vein, and party of men paid him S5O,OOO cash for his claim. Noble has driven past that rock some scores of times, and prospectors have prosPected all through that canyon. Had that rattle snake been two feet to the right or left of where it was that rich deposit would still be an unknown and un- worked vein.-Engineering and Min ing Journal.

BIG RACES AT FLAGSTAFF
 JULY THIRD AND FOURTH

The big event at the Elks celebra- tion at Flagstaff on the 9rd and .4th this year will be the many races which will be held during the two days.
 Probably the race of most interest will be the motorcycle race of 9 miles offering $50 in prizes, then comes the auto races for all makes of cars and another for Fords with S45O in prizes. Entries are being made daily and the committee in charge ex- poets a larger number of auto entries than ever before.
 There will be saddle horse races, relay horse races, team races, bronco busting, for Indians and COW punchers too; Indian runners will have their try outs, and the lumber jacks will have the opportunity of showing their skill in a log saving contest.
 With Gov. Campbell as the speaker on Tuesday and the big parade to open the show this celebration offers the opportunity for a good time as well as a pleasant vacation in the highest city in Arizona among the pines.

Ship TrainlOad
 of MOhave Cattle

Yesterday trainload of cattle was shipped from Kingman and about 800 head from Blackberry, The cattle shipped from Blackberry were from the ranch of Henry Bacon and from several ranches on the Big Sandy, while those sent out from Kingman came from the ranch of the Wallapai Cattle company and Henry Lovin.
 4 larger shipment of cattle will be made from Blackberry on the 18th. The price paid is far above that of last year, and it is probable that still greater prices are in store for those holding on until fall.

MENSCH RETURNS
 WITH CADILLAC B"

Guy Mensch drove in from Los An geles yesterday in a Cadillac "S," !" which he will put in the service be- tween Kingman and Chloride instead of the smaller car he has been using for a year or more. Mrs. Mensch, who accompanied her husband to Los An geles, remained there at the bedside of her mother, who is critically i'll and not expected to recover.
 Mr. Mensch was accompanied home by his sister, Miss Edith, who was born in Kingman, but as it has been about seven years since she left here, it is rather hard for anyone to recog- nize in the young lady, the baby girl who left here at that time.

BUTCHERS TAKE FALL
 OUT OF |. & W. TEAM
CFrOm Thursdays Daily lIiner)

NfrOm Thursdays Daily Mlner)
 The Butchers" pasted the everlast- ing tar out of the Lovin and Withers gang in five rounds Tuesday after noon. The last mentioned team came around Monday and avered that they knew a little something about playing ball, but after tangling with that aw- ful crew of meat cutters they changed their minds. Dick Swindle did the catching for the victors, while Stanley George did mound duty, and the way that boy put them over was a caution. When it started to get dark they had to hang lanterns on the balls so the batter could see them. Mulrain, the L. & W. twirler, needed only support. Every time an infelder of the unfor- tunate ones would get hold of the ball he would try to knock one of the signs off the park fence, but after several unsuccessful efforts they started roll ing them with about the same success. The game was exciting even up to the last, when Bill Klein stole third when that base was occupied. They sure stirred up some dust around the old corner sack for awhile, but when the tension cooled off it was found that the pets had completed a double play, very uncommon. thing in that ball game.

MRS. STEPHENS HURT
 WHEN HOME BURNS

The Roscoe Stephens residence on the Big Sandy was totally destroyed by fire yesterday together with all of it's contents. Mrs. Stephens was bad ly, although not seriously, burned while getting her children out of the house and away from the flames. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought that it is possible that some of the small children might have got- ten into the matches and caused the conflagration.

Each town will receive credit in that way for what it raises to help along the Red Cross campaign.

Three Sessions of Congress.

Under a bill introduced by Rep resentative McArthur of Oregon, the present system whereby new congress does not regularly meet till 5 months after it is elected would be abolished. There would be three regular sessions of con- gress. in place of the present two. The new congress elected in Mo- vember would convene on the first Monday following the 4th of March. instead of waiting till De- cember. The second session would begin on the first Monday in Oc- tober, and the third on the first Monday in December of the follow ing year. This would give con- gress the additional time it needs to dispose of the growing mass of legislature.

Where cotton and corn are the main crops grown, the cultivated fields should be equally divided, one-half of them being planted to corn and peas or corn and velvet beans, and the other half to cotton, crimson clover being planted in the cotton middles in the fall to be plowed under for corn the following spring. Such a simple two-year rotation gives us legume crop ev- cry year on every cultivated acre, and, with the use of some. phos- phoric acid and potash in certain sections, will mean better lands and bigger and more profitable
