DODGE DUTY'S GALL; DRAF TED
 WILL BE FAIE

Short Shift for Slackers,' is to be the slogan on sclective draft day. June !, according to information received from the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder at Washington.
 Tn spite of the publicity that has been given to the warning that it will be useless to attempt to evade the registration" said an official yester- day, there undoubtedly will be some who will fail to obey the strict law. even to the extent of willingly submit ting to arrest. apparently believing that in so doing and accepting prison sen tence he will run no chances of being drafted
 If he has figured it out that way" declared the official "he will find him. self very greatly mistaken. From the best information we have received, the man who evades registration and is arrested probably will be kept in prison for about 90 days and then drafted directly into the army. If a man wants to be very certain of getting in the army, one way is to fail to register or June ,.
 Lists of 'slackers' also probably will he posted in every county d few days after registration day. The best thing a man can have will be registration certificate. Any officer may at any time ask a man to exhibit his certifl- cate, and if he cannot produce it he will go at once to jail"

SUPERIOR, May 2S.-Work of driv- ing the Watson tunnel of the Magma Chief property is now being rushed at top speed. with two shifts employed daily. The tunnel is now in a distance of over 420 feet and is progressing, at the rate of eight feet day, according to recent report made by Superin- tendent Charles A kunke to the board of directors of the company
 The formation encountered in the Watson Assure for the past 100 feet has been broken. red iron stained lime stone, occurring as a filling in the north side of the fissure. The black man Sanese wall, which is vertical. and which marks the southside of the fis- sure, runs in long sweeping wave form, and is al the present time entirely out of the tunnel, somewhere on the south side. The ledge filling along this wall is reddest directly against the wall, and judging hy the increasing intensity of the iron stain encountered during the last few rounds, the wall is again swinging to the north and should en- ter the tunnel again before long.
 At a distance of about 1.200 feet the Watson tunnel, which runs east and west, will intersect the L. $. and A. ledge, where Superintendent Kunke be- lieyes high grade commercial ores will
 be found. This manganese ledge is ont

DAMACE ACTION
 GOES TO JURY

After trial of several days the case of James Matthews against the Ari- zona Eastern for damages went to the jury yesterday afternoon and at 10 o'clock last night a verdict had not been reached. The arguments occu- pied all of the afternoon, Judge Flaw kins for the plaintiff and George Purdy Bullard for the company
 Matthews had for some time previ- ous to April of last year been in the employ of the company He claimed damages for injuries sustained in falling into a pit near the company's roundhouse. It was the contention of the company that his injuries were not sustained in the manner alleged and that to large extent such injuries as he suffered were feigned.
 Among the items was a dislocated hip. which through the testimony of one of the witnesse~ for the plaintiff it was brought out he could displace and replace at will. That opened up the contention of the defendant that l that was the only kind of a disloca- ton he had suffered and witness was put on the stand to show that though he had never been injured he could so manipulate his own hip.
 In his argument Judge Hawkins sought to weaken that evidence by describing that witness as freak, . according to the standard of whom his client ought not to be measured.

They desire always to serve with the best, which is commendable, and just how near the Arizona infantry is to be the best can be better understood when the fact is proven by records
 ''In the contests between the machine gun companies in the regiments located at Naco and Douglas the record for packing, running 250 yards. unloading setting up and firing was made by the First Arizona in three and one half minutes their nearest competitor being a regular army regiment in five min utes.
 Of ail the regiments stationed on the border last year regulars and na- tionh guard. the First Arizona regi- ment had the best health record; they had the greatest per cent on duty daily and the least per cent in the hospital.
 Recruits in the Arizona infantry can join any company in the regiemnt they care to or stay in the company that contains the most men from their home town. The contrary is true of the man who waits to be drafted The man from Arizona is just as likely to be drafted with a man from Alabama as not"

RED CROSS PLAY
 GIVEN TONIGHT

The spirit of patriotism burns to- day with a stronger flame than has been felt since the, close of the Span shAmerican war. The nation has been attacked again by foreign foe and all it's millions are rushing to the defense of the republic. None know what proportions the war will assume or how many of the boys will be sacri- feed in the struggle; yet with four fifths of the world locked in a life and death combat and the millions that are being killed and maimed the du- ties that confront the Red Cross so- cieties are well outlined. The presi- dert has called for s100, 000,O00 to be placed at the disposal of the society and Americans will consider it not only their duty but sacred privilege. to be able to subscribe to such q noble fund
 The members of Phoenix chapter No. , of the Eastern Star are presenting inc stirring military drama, "The Red Cross Nurse at the E1ks theater to- night and Wednesday night and every dollar of their portion of the receipts will be turned ever to the Phoenix chapter of the Red Cross society

Long Wedge claim was purchased and added to the company's holdings. It is on this claim that the permanent camp has been established, cook and bunk houses built, and the power plant, which includes 30 h. D. Fairbanks Morse oil engine and q 900-foOt Sui livan compressor, set up. Three jack hammer drills were placed in operation about April 1. and since that date work of driving the tunnel has been speeded up. If the present rate of progress is maintained, it is estimated that the manganese ledge from which the Mag ma is shipping highs grade copper ore. will be out before September l.
 Assays of the rock now being taken from the Watson tunnel show some silver values in the manganese and iron oxides, according to Superntend- ent kuHlke. The Assure is unusually well defined, and closely resembles the productive Assure of the Magma Cop per company, which it parallels at a horizontal distance from it of about $500 feet.
 A three months supply of powder, track and pipe lines has been secured by the Magma Chief company as well as an adequate supply of drill steel, blacksmith coal. fuel and lubricants. The new machinery is giving excellent satisfaction according to Superintend- . ent kumke.

 In spite of the fact that for months practically all orders for mining ma chinery and equipment have been sub ject to delay.
