OUARTzSlTE DISTRICT
 Is SHOWING ACTIVITY

QUARTZSITE, May 15.-(SpeciaD W. H. Mailman has a plant running on his Rim Rocks placers with a ca pacity of 1000 yards per eight hours and is saving $2,OOO free gold and three tons of concentrates worth $250 per ton per day at a cost of $200 per day. Recently Mailman has sunk a 95-foot shaft in the deep ground and has run a 9OO-toot drift on bed rock, with the result that the lower 20 feet of it carries values of SIC to S20 per cubic yard.
 The King Consolidated company, joining Mailman on the south, is equipping four of it's properties with plants to handle 2,OOO yards each per day, a total of 5000 yards per day.
 The La Cholla company has arrang- ed to put in a plant of 2,OOO yards per day, and as they have 1920 acres ex- tending from the side line of the Bee Hive Copper mines east, and on 36O acres of poorer ground have 14,500,000 cubic yards measured that carries an average proven value of S1.31 free gold per yard, besides concentrates, their outlook is rosy. The Bee Hive group is now being tested by Prof. of Tucson with a view of pur- chase by the Guggenheim interests.
 George King has sold the Abe Lin coin group to Captain Geo. D. Stone street, who is representing a Pittsburg syndicate in the sale, and has also sold the Orc Fino placer property to the same people. The Wilson company of San Francisco started up it's Cotton mill on the Maraquitte on large body of high grade ore which has recently been found. Eichelberger has inter ested Senator Sam B. Mccall of York, Pa., in the Poorman, and they will soon start work on the property.

GALES PROBABLY
 SELECTED GOVERNOR

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May 15.-Oficial reports received today in Agua Prieta by Gen. P. Elias Gales indicated that he had been elected governor of So- nora by large majority. In many districts the vote was almost unani- nous for him. Only in the cities of Guayamas and Alamos did Gen. Jose Obregon, his opponent, have a lead, and this was of but a few hundred. Telegrams from several cities of So- nora said the Gales supporters were celebrating his victory. The governor is to take office July 1.
 General Gales left Argua Prieta to- day for Hermosillo.

Shrimp Industry.

The shrimp of the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts supports one of the most important of the minor fisheries, and 1t has been reported by the com missioner of fisheries within the past two or three years that in certain re- gions the supply showed indications of depletion. As a basis for possible measures of conservation a study of the natural history of the species was begun in 1914.

Region Devastated

Here the diary ended. But a par. tial narrative of the last day of prep aration is told in letter dated From Shell Hole in Hell, 9th June, 1917" In part it read:
 Thanks for your kind letter. I am still we'll but quite discouraged. You have no idea what it is like fourteen days passed in hellish fire night and day. In this marvellously beautiful weather we crouch together in holes and await our doom. The dead here are piled up by the British artillery alone, which is far superior to ours. Many are dead, too, from gas poisoning. Our division has lost 3,400 men in barely three months. We are quite helpless against the English. Thirty men have been buried in mine galleries and are burning in the bar gain. Everyone refuses to go to the front line. Our heads ache from gas. Cigarettes taste of gas. Our artillery cannot fire in the day time. Tommy ! sees it at once and it all dies away "A terrible, devastated region. Such a pitiful life. No food, no drinking water all day, and the sun burns. At midnight dinner and at three in the morning coffee, but not always, as in every act is danger to life. We all 1 look forward with joy to being taken prisoner. If not soon relieved we will go mad; we are already muddled. There are artillerymen, infantry and flying men here from Arras. They say Arras was the golden age com pared with this time in hell The Eng fish want to shoot us down. not make peace. They do not need infantry, their artillery is enough. We dare not let a glimpse be seen of us"
 Next morning at dawn the British | attacked. They swept the demoralized Germans back out of their positions and established themselves in a line previously mapped out. German re- sistance could not organize itself un- | til the field-gray forces had fallen back to lines we'll beyond the torrid zone of the more intense artillery fire.
