Refused TO Allow Volunteer Army to

Day VIII BE June 5.--Smaii
Force to Go With Perish
ing to France

Washington, May 19.-Colonel
Roosevelt will MOI be permitted to
raise his volunteer expedition ia
carry the American flag against the
Germans in France.
On signing the war army bill last
night President Wilson issued
statement saying that he would not
allow the Colonel and his 100000
volunteers to go abroad, though II
is authorized by congress in both
houses. The politicians Of the Dem
ocratic administration are much op-
posed to Roosevelt's going though
thousands Of kilograms and letters
from all parts of the country have
urged the patriotic move. The
country as whole believes that 1T
would be good sense and help the
allied course immensely.
President Wilson has ordered that
a division OF regular troops com
manded by Maj. Gen. John j. Perish
ing be sent to France at the earliest
practicable date. This is the answer
Of America to Frances plea that
the Stars and Stripes be carried to
the fighting front without delay to
hearten the soldiers battling there,
with concrete evidence that pow
erfully ally has come to their sup
port against German aggression. The
plea was for Roosevelt but regular
troops will go instead, about 5000
instead OF 7. RS 100000 who are
ready.
Washington, May 49, President
Wilson last night signed the war
army bill and issued a proclamation
putting It's plan OF selective con-
scription into effect.
The army law provided for an
ultimate force OF approximately 2
million men to back up the first
troops to go to the front. When the
bill had been signed the president
affixed his name to a proclamation
calling upon all men in the country !
between the ages of 2 and 80, in
elusive, to register themselves for
military service on June next.

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Almost rivaling the famous United Verde in the richness of its ore bodies, is the present showing in the Arizona Binghamton, formerly known as the Stoddard Mines Company.
 When one considers that the 'heads" running into the mill average 6 per cent copper; that the ore now being broken down in the lower levels goes from 8 to 30 per cent copper; that seams of copper glance have been en- countered that assay as high as 65 per cent copper, then the comparison with the United Verde is well justified
 Reports of rich strikes in the Bing- hamton caused the Journal-Miner to send representative to the property yesterday and the above assertions are facts that were obtained by per sonal examination. The Binghamton i. no little mine. Time will prove it to be one of the big copper producers of Arizona, for without any stopins whatever, the property is already pay ing more than expenses - in fact, enough to justify dividend on its capitalization of 340,OOO shares with a par value of S each. All of the ore that is being milled is produced from the tunnel level, or which the man. agement terms the 100 level. although the ore actually is taken from below that point. How big the mine is. no one knows. but one can guess. It is a positive fact that on the third level

 THE FAMOUS UNITED VERDE

the ore shoot has width of 40 feet between the walls. The same ore shoot IS encountered on the fourth level but its width there has not yet been determined An inspection shows that the face, sides, top and bottom of the drift, which is being run north, is all solid chalcopyrite ore. Chal- copyrite is primary formation. while ;he black copper glance that is asso- ciated with it, is the secondary enrich ment and is the forerunner indication of the making of big mine. On the fourth level, running easterly from the shaft is another ore shoot, designated as No. ol, where the lowest assay averages Y per cent copper. This ground is now being prepared for stoping. The ore body is not more than 40 feet from the shaft while the shoot in the northerly drift is about 200 feet from the station. Here are two distinct ore bodies the magnitude of which has not yet been proven. At least one of them is permanent and continuous for the same shoot is on the second and third levels, and also on the sixth, no drifting having been done yet on the fifth.
 In fact the ore now in the lower levels which runs from s to 30 per cent copper, not including the copper glance, is so rich that it will not be run through the mill but will be ship ped direct to the smelter.

Nine Regiments Are To Be Recruited And Sent To France At Once;
 Secrecy Surrounds Expedition.

The expedition will have strength of between ll,000 and l2,000 men, each regiment being composed of two battalions of three companies each and every branch of railway workers necessary to the building or opera ton of lines will be represented.
 The war department expects a re- sponse to the call that will insure a force already trained to the minute of army experts in railway operation. The recruiting will be directly under the colonel Of each regiment. The re- cruiting machinery of the regular ser. vice or national guard will be placed at their service. It is hoped that the enrolment of troops will take little time. Officials believe that the great railroad brotherhoods will cooperate, throwing the strength of their unions behind the recruiting.

Judge Frank H. Lyman was unable to be present in court yesterday and as a result, the injunction suit of William Stephens to restrain the board of supervisors from paying the recently raised wages of the county officials, was not heard.
 At the boards room, the supervis- ors held their regular meeting, but deferred drawing the warrants until today. It is possible Judge Lyman can come up and hear the case today.

 In this regard, Prescott is more for tunate than Tucson, for instance. At one fell swoop, the commandaut at the Presidio turned back 50 applicants from the Old Pueblo.
 That there will be other officers training schools is the broad hint contained in the rejection handed to the Tucson contingent. That this later school may be located whole lot nearer Arizona was also intimated in the telegram.

The company is now installing a second Mercy mill, and has recently installed two Buch- art tables which will handle l25 tons day.

The Notation mill was originally built to l25 tons capacity.
