We are requested to again call at
tention to the fact that all licenses
are now due and payable at the Of
flee of town treasurer, Mr. Walter

your license is not paid by the 10th

that was presented at the Indian
town school on Friday night was a
decided success, there being large,
appreciative audience, representing
different sections of the county, and
there was plenty to laugh at from
start to finish. This comedy will
probably be pulled off" at several
other places in, the county, and no
one will regret the money spent to
see it. There was plenty to eat af-
ter the performance, consisting of
oyster stew, salads, sandwiches, cof-

JAILOR'S DAUGHTER
HOLDS MOB At Bay
RtyT PRISONER FINALLY SECUR-
ED AND SEVERELY BEATEN
LYNcHING AVERTED.

Hampton, January 2l: - Dave
Richards. a negro of Estlll, was
taken from the county Jail here last
night by a party from Estill and. al
though not lynched, he was badly
beaten up and left in the woods.
According to the negro's statement,
his life was spared as the result OF
the pleading of one member OF the
party.
The reports of the affair vary, but
the salient features are substantial
ed by number of witnesses. The
negro, who, according to report, was
drunk, assaulted a Mr. Glover. an ell
derly man. who clerks in the store OF
Martin O'NeaI at Estill. last nightly
drawing his pistol on Mr. Glover. The
negro was arrested and taken to the
Jail at Estill. Lster the Mayor of the
town. learning that party was be-
ing formed to take the man from
the Jail and lynch him, had him re-
moved by automobile to the county
jail at Hampton. Magistrates Con-
Stable ] A Cook and John o Smith
brought him there.
Upon their arrival, the negro was
delivered over to the jailer, j P
Bowers, who proceeded upstairs to
the cells with his prisoner, locking
the front door of the Jail. Then one
of the men who brought the negro
went back downstairs to get the ne
gro's hat, which he had dropped in
an effort to get away. When he un-
locked the door ard went m!t he was
met by q party of about thir;y-five
men, according to his estimate. who
rushed for the open door.
eAs the crowd reached the door the
jailer's daughter, who is about IA
years of age. ran into an adjoining
room, grabbed one Of her fathers
pistols and ran back to the door,
covering the lynching party with the
revolver and declaring that she would
shoot the first one that entered the
door. She held them thus at bay till
her brother, fearing that some harm
might overtake her, took the pistol
from her, whereupon some Of the
crowd rushed in and went upstairs.
overpowered the jailer, took the pris-
oner and fled in automobiles in the
direction of Estill.
The young lady then notified Sher-
iff Lightsey by telephone. stating to
him that the prisoner had been taken
away by five or six men. She stated
that it was a put up" game. The
Sheriff left Brunson, where he re-
sides, for Hampton, and Immediately
took up the trail of the party but
was unable to find out anything as
to their whereabouts or the where
abouts of the negro. Jailer Bowers
pleaded with the party not to lynch
the negro, after they had overpow-
cred him and taken his prisoner.
Today the negro was found at an
other regro's house few miles from
Hampton, He seemed to be still
drunk and was badly beaten. The
theory is that the would-be lynch
ing party, on account of the fact that
the members Of it were recognized
by several people in Hampton, and

vancement in this line of late year, and the larger companies are con- stantly on the alert to find processes, methods and short cuts to greater ef- ficiency It must, be clearly under stood that the mineral resources of this country have required long ages for their accumulation. There are no known substitutes available to meet the nations further needs when that supply will be exhausted and to the best of our present knowledge that supply must serve as basis for both the needs of the present and the far greater needs of the future. Our mineral resources should be regarded as property to be held in trust with regard to both the present and future needs of the country. Neither human labor TOT any human agency has con triDuted to their origin or their in- trinsic value, and whatever rights an individual may possess have been de- rived from the general government or state as the original owner. Although the individual may claim the right to use the resources in proportion to his needs, he certainly has no right to waste either that neded for present neds or that which IS certain to be needed hereafter.
 But few years ago il was the cry of the miner against the farmer; the miner insisting on running the tailings from his concentrating plant down the creek bed, and the farmer protest ing that the sand injured his land and prevented his irrigation. Fortunately

Consolidated Arizona

Net profits of the Consolidated Ari- zona Smelling company for the last quarter of 1916 amounted to S292, ,2S9, indicating that for the year. the earn ings of the company were arproxi- mately S900,000. Of unusual signifi- caEce is the acceleration of earnings in the last quarter. In October the company's profits ,were $5s,552. In the succeeding month they Were in creased to SITS 099. while in December there was an increase of nearly loo per cent over the November figures to $154,63S. It is evident, therefore that the company is feeling the of fects of its new equipment, and the enlargement of it's output.
 On the basis Of the December fig urCs, which are expected to be bet tered during the current year, the ompany is on an earning basis of bet ter than $l ,S50,000 annually, or about sl a share on it's outstanding capital cation. IL is not unlikely, on the .oundation Of these earnings that he company will shortely be placed

and we have to keep within that With the big operators it is a question Of whether they will give the money to the two man drill manufacturer or to more work in the mine. and fl is the same with US little fellows. In each case the faster We can get to the ore and into II. the quicker We are going to be able to work more miners and consequently moer mill and smelter men

Conversation of Arizona's Mineral Re-
 sources (By Charles F. Willis)


 Probably the paramount issue ir the state of Arizona at the present time is the conservation of Arizona s mineral resources, No phase of min ing is more important, yet in the in- toXication of Arizona's wonderful sue cess, it's large production any money making possibilities, it is liable to he overlooked It is one of the most i'm portant branches Of the work of the Arizona State Bureau of mines. q work that will pay dividends of many hundreds of times the cost of main- tenance of the state bureau.
 Mining is unlike any other industry in that in mining waste is a loss. A mine produces but one crop and when that crop is exhausted, it will never be replaced. Hence the proper con sheryation of our mineral resources is an important economic question. For instance, in the coal industry, some of the methods of mining coal have been such that in order to get cheap mining costs, large percentage of the coal was still left in the ground. in such a condition that it could never be recovered. Yet the time is coming when we will wish that we had that coal. The time for the con- servation of our mineral resources is the present. and every energy should be expended in the reduction of min eral wastes.

on a dividend paying basis Such profits would easily permit of divi- dend distribution at the rate of 5a cents a share annually. and still leave a substantial sum to be carried to treasury account for the redemption of its outstanding bond issue
 In addition to increasing it's earn ings, the Consolidated ArIzona con- pany has beer gaining steadily in ore reserves, according to well-authenti- cated reports, in spite of an increas- ing extraction. and recent visitors to the property state that both the ac- tual and potential value of it's mines have been materially increased.

 The attention of the Industrial Worker is called to the circulars issued in the East by the Nome Gold Dredging Co. offering three hundred thousand shares at five dollars each. "The property is To- cated on Seward Peninsula, Alaska, at Fort Davis about five miles south east of Nome The company owns 1 1-2 miles of ocean front. The property consists of eight claims in one solid group and is known as the New England or Tiptop group, az gregating 926 acres. Popocatepetl, on Nome river, contains 36 acres and is detached from the New Eng land group" The General Manager is A. G. Kingsbury of Nome. The prospectus is an unusually clever piece of work scenes from the Third Beach in it's palmy days, blocks of gold exhibited by the Miners and Merchants Bank and so forth, all in terspersed with reading matter ex- plotting the enormous riches of the property of the company. While the grandiose circulars look like sell ing scheme, the ground in some respects is not without value and the Kingsbury plan to establish a power plant for pumping sea water, valued at $300,00O is no more vision ary than some of the many that have already been tried. If east ern investors are looking up a get rich quick scheme whereby in the language of the brokers 'it means more dividends every year than the present selling price of the stock, it is up to them. It is several hundred years since the discovery was made that all is not gold that glitters, but as far as some people are concerned, it might as we'll be forgotten.
