(Fron Saturdays Daily )

Several months ago congress pass ed law which exempted men in mili- tary service from doing assessment work on their mining claims, and now a new measure is awaiting the sigma ture of President Wilson, which goes much further and will be of far reaching importance to the mining men of Arizona.
 According to a wire received re gently from Congressman Hayden, senate joint resolution No. IS, sus- pending all assessment work on met alliferous mining claims for this year and next has passed both houses. The conference report on the bill suspend ing assessment work on unpatented mining claims for the next two years was presented to the senate by Sen- ator Ashurst, and the senate adopted the report.
 After the measure which exempted enlisted men from doing their assess mcnt work, it was deemed best tc carry the matter little further, and exempt all the owners of unpatcntcd ground from performing their usua work.

THREE WILL GO TO
 FORT RILEY OCTOBER II
(From Sundays DaiIy)

Andrew P. Hunter, Paul L. Hobbs and Clarence McGuiggien, three young men who were called in by the local exemption board to make the trip to Camp Funston last Thursday, and who failed to show up, yesterday appeared before the board, and each had very good excuse for their fail ing to respond.
 One young man had been on the far side of the Mogollon mountains and had not received his mail until the day after the boys had left. An other was at work in distant mining camp and as the truck which ordi- narily carried the mail from Prescott 10 the camp was out of commission for period of five days, he also had not received his call until too late to get here on Thursday. Between Thursday night and Friday, he cov> cred distance of 65 miles on horse back so as to get to the board off, cers and explain his prcdicamcnt. The third young man had been working at Winslow, and the board did not possess his correct address at the time the final notices were mailed. He was not aware of the fact that he had been called until the troop train bearing the Yavapai county kids pass ed through Winslow. When the young man met the train at the sta ton, he was informed by some of his friends aboard that his name had been called and that he had been posted as a stacker. He at once came to Pres colt and told his story to the board.
 The three boys will go forward to Fort Riley on Thursday, October II, as the board felt that if the three men were not accounted for in the con tingent which left on Thursday. the government might camp rcientlessly on the trail of the three, and end by ordering their arrest as dcserters. While the men will cause the third contingent to exceed its original num- Der by three the board will sec that the men arc listed as coming from the remaining l5 per cent, which is to go forward at some future date still un- designated.

From Saturdays Daily.D

Fred Oliver, who will be we'll re- mcmbercd as a native of this county, and who is popularly known at all mining camps, writes an interesting letter from San Antonio, Texas, to Judge Dave Foley, of this city, stating he IS now a non-commissioned officer of the Eighty-hinth aerial squadron of the army.
 Oliver is attached to that branch of the service known as the Young Mems Christian Association Council, which is under the dominion of the military. Matters of interest men, toned in his letter are the following:
 "The quadron to which I am at tached is composed of 153 men, and lo non-commissioned officers, and ] am now one of the latter. We have assigned to our squadron 36 aero planes, 5 machine guns. "A auto trucks, 26 motorcycles and nine auto mobiles. We have the same drill as the infantry and carry sidearms. We also have school I am getting ready to make my first flight, and the opportunity is decidedly pleasant to anticipate. Just when we will get away is not known, but if the feeling that pervades this command is any index of the ardor of all, the sooner we get into action the better. It is remarkable to see what patriotic dem- onstrations are taking place, and the sincerity of the boys to go abroad to help out is truly wonderful in the | zeal manifested. There are from lOO,- 900 to 100000 people in this com- munity, the majority of military rat ing, and scenes arc taking place daily Of very much interest.

Now l have the satisfaction of being immune from the common ills, and am ready for any old thing to turn up, from fight to frolic. The Eighty-ninth is rated as the strictest arm of any military division in camp, and we cannot go anywhere unless we arc doped up to look as neat as a pin, from head to foot
 Talk about Arizona being dry, there F absolutely nothing in it com i pared to soldiers life in this region. The strictest scrutiny prevails, and the bootlegger has no peep-in here. The booze is surely knocked out here, and it is after all, question of get ting the men in shape for the strenu- ous life of the future with a physical bearing that is not tempered by any thing of the fighting brand to urge | them on."
