LOTS OF INTEREST
IN FIRST AID WORK

Now that the draft is over it is ex-
pected that there will be renewed i'll
terest in the First Aid Training course
to be given under the direction of the
State Bureau of Mines at Tucson on
August 6, and 8.
The First Aid work will be ex-
tremely valuable training to the many
men drafted because of the fact that
it will enable them to secure promo
ton more rapidly and also provide
them with a method of comforting
and relieving the other fellow.
First aid training is as essential
in industrial life and much more i'm
portant in military life.
The number that can be accommo-
dated in the first aid class to be CIV
en- at Tucson is about so, and they
will be provided for in the order Of
their registration, so that those desir-
ing to take the course should register
early in order that they may be sure
of getting a place. Registrations
should be made to Charles F. Willis,
director of the Arizona State Bureau
of Mines, University of Arizona,
Tucson.

The final curtain was let down on
the existence of the Portola Cafe last
week. The cafe was opened about
two months and half ago by John
Arhupolus and since its opening date
has appeared to have been a money
maker. Last Thursday the news was
flashed about town that Arhupolus
had departed for parts unknown and
had taken all the funds Of the con-
cern with him. 1t is reported that
this amounted to something like two
thousand dollars. Incidentally, with
his departure went the money to pay
the large bills at the supply houses.
Miller Bros. were the first ones
to take action and by fast work had
the papers served on those in charge
of the cafe last Friday morning. The
place was closed by order of the sher-
iff. 1t is also alleged that the peo-
pie who were employed on a weekly
salary in the place were also left
with their wages unpaid for the past
month, but this could not be verified.
simultaneously with the closing of
the Portola Cafe by the sheriff the
Palace Cafe at Superior was closed
1t is alleged that Lou Alexander, the
proprietor of the Superior Cafe, was
the financial backer of the Portola
management and that he stood spon-
sor for the accounts. Since Friday
none of those connected with the
of either cafe have been
located. ::i =sEW
Those who were the hardest hit of
the local merchants were Miller

STANDING OF CLUBS IN
TRI-COPPER LEAGUE
SECOND SERIES.
MILL AND SHELTER
ARE TIED FOR LEAD

By defeating the Smelter Wednes-
day, the Ray Mines pulled the lead
ers of the second series back even
with the Millers, thereby creating a
tie for first place between the two
Hayden teams.
The Smelter made a remarkable
record during the first games of the
second series, winning four games
straight This was especially notable
in view of the handicaps under which
the Smelter started, not getting into
action until after the first series was
well under way. But it looks now as
though the Shelters winning streak
had been pretty well bent, if not per-
manently busted, and the Ray fans
are confident that the next few games
are going to prove very enlightening
to certain groups of alleged ball play
ers in the village of Hayden.

.P|NAL ACQUIRES
TITLE TO RENFRO
GROUP Of CLAIMS

Title to the Renfro group of claims,
forty-three in number, passed on Au-
gust 1 to Pinal Development COM
pany, which has been engaged for the
past year in developing this property
Recent developments at the property,
where an excellent ore showing has
been uncovered, led to the decision to
close the transaction whereby Pinal
Development becomes the owner of
the group.
AS a result of the transaction this
week, development work at Pinal will
go forward with increased vigor In
stallation of compressor is among
the steps now contemplated by the
management, and while no announce
ment has been made, it is understood
that negotiations looking toward an
early commencement of shipping from
the property are under way. If suit
able arrangements can be made with
the smelters, it seems probable that
shipment from Pinal Development
will begin almost Immediately
The recent repair of the road from
Kelvin in the direction of Pinal De-
velopment property is favorable to
early shipping of ore, as the road has
been greatly improved by Pinal
county for a distance from Kelvin of
two and half miles
Operations at the property con-
tinue to go forward rapidly and with
most favorable results. The ore in
the winze is now wider than ever,
and is growing richer with depth
In the raise from the lower tunnel,
the formation is becoming notably
softer the past week, so that work
in the direction of the ore horizon is
going forward more rapidly than ever.
News that Pinal Development now
has clear title to the big group will
be received with delight by the many
stockholders here, and one of the first
results is noticeable Tightening of
the stock. With the property now in
the hands of the company, develop
ment work will go forward without
and the belief is conf
IDENTIFY expressed in many quarters
that it will be but a short time until
Pinal adds another big mine to those
operating in this district.

MINES POUND
LEVEREIT, WIN
OVER SME[TER

The Ray Mines took their batting
eyes along when they went over to
the Concentrator City Wednesday,
and starting with five runs in the
first inning, they walloped the Smell
terites to the joyous tune of 10 to A.
Leverett proved easy picking for the
Mines and was finally sent to the
bench after the Rayites had nine runs
safely laid away in the refrigerator.
The Smelterites connected with
Bromley rather frequently in the Sec
ond frame, scoring three runs, but af-
ter that he settled down and struck
out ten Smelterites, just like that.
The Mines took one more run in the
second, another in the third and two
more in the fifth, the latter proceed
ing compelling Bro. Leverett to retire
to the side lines and watch somebody
else twirl. Aside from one solitary
run in the fourth, the boys from the
big stack never once had chance to
score after the second frame.
Shaw, for the Smelter, proved in
valuable to the Mines, his four costly
errors allowing four tallies to be
chalked up to Rays credit.
The hard-hitting of the Mines, who
had fourteen hits to their credit, and
the consistent work of Bromley after
the second inning, were features of
the game. The box score follows:

BELIEVE INJUSTICE HAS BEEN
DONE P|NAL COUNTY N DRAFT

Believing that Pinal county is not
being treated justly in the matter of
the draft, led to the sending of tele-
gram to the state representatives at
Washington last week by Judge e. w.
French. The telegram was addressed
to Senator M. A. Smith, Senator H. F.
Ashurst and Congressman Carl Hay
den. Herewith is the telegram as
sent:
Ray, Ariz., July 20, 1917.
Senator M. A. Smith, Washington,
D. c..
Senator Henry F. Ashurst Washing
ton, d. G.
Congressman Carl Hayden, Washing
ton, d. G.
The people in Pinal county feel that
great injustice has been done them
regarding the draft quota. The total
registration in Pinal county amounted
to 1852. Fully eighty-five per cent of
this registration were aliens and it
will be impossible to secure the re-
quired quota of $40 assigned to Pinal
county. This means that a person
who had his number drawn among
the last will be called as quickly as
person who had his number drawn
among the first We therefore re-
spectfully request in the spirit of fair
ness that you take necessary action
to reduce the draft quota in Pinal

Bond Election
Next Saturday

The school bond election, called for
the purpose of submitting to the tax
payers of the district the question of
issuing bonds for the construction of
two new school buildings, will be held
next Saturday. The voting place will
be at the Dunham school, and the
polls will be open from 12 o'clock
noon until six o'clock in the evening
If the proposed bond issue is ap-
proved, and there is little doubt that
it will be, there will be available
$4,000 for the construction of two
modern school buildings to house the
pupils of the district. The existing
school facilities have been entirely
outgrown, and it is in order to meet
the crying need of the children of
Ray for the necessary school facilities
that the election has been called.

county. Please advise.
e. w. FRENCH.
Judge French received the follow
ing telegram from Senator Ashurst in
reply to the one above and which in
dicates that relief is in sight:
Washington, d. c., July %, 1917.
e. w. French, Ray, Ariz.
Telegram received. Take pleasure
in advising that congress will soon
pass bill correcting injustice pointed
out
AsHURsT.
Pinal county is not the only one in
the state where the alien registration
is so great, but has perhaps little
larger percentage of aliens than any
other county. Under the present con-
ditions it will be almost impossible to
secure the quota here unless married
men are taken. According to infor-
nation sent out from Washington all
married men with dependents are ex-
empt and, of course, it would not be
fair to exempt the married men in
one county in the United States with
out exempting all of them.
Judge French feels confident that
Pinal county will be treated fairly in
the matter and that this states rep
resentatives at Washington will do all
in their power to alleviate the unjust
situation.

at Florence, probably next Wednes-
day or Thursday From there the
board will go to Superior. After COM
pleting the work at Superior the
board will come to Ray. From here
they go to Mammoth and then to
Sasco. After that the examination
of those not included in the five
places will report to Florence for ex-
animation. Undoubtedly the second
call will have to be sent out TO fill
the required quota on account of the
large alien registration. Just for in
stance, 1t is reported that out of the
first six hundred and twenty names
there are nearly four hundred located
in Ray and from this four hundred
less than fifty are American citizens.
Of course the alien registration in
other parts of the county are not
nearly so large as here, but in the
county as a whole there is estimated
to be very near S5 per cent of the
registrants that are aliens and ex-
empt from service.

MANDISCH HERE
FOR FIRST HEARING

The preliminary hearing of Bob
Mandisch who is held for the murder
of c. E. Beck, was held at the court
house here Monday. So quietly was
the affair arranged that it is doubt
full if there were more than three
people outside of the court who knew
that Sheriff Henry Hall had brought
the prisoner here and kept him the
greater part of day. Mandisch was
bound over to the superior court and
bail was fixed at $4,000. Mandisch
will be represented at the time of
trial by Attorneys Struckmeyer &
Jenckes of Phoenix. The trial date
has not been set yet, but will prob
ably be the first week in October.

One of the best dances of the sum-
