HIRE CHIEF |S | bACKFR0MWES

His face wreathed in smiles, his com plexion giving every indication of close contact with ocean breezes, Fire Chief A. F. Wright returned to Phoenix yes terday and resumed active charge of the Phoenix fire department. He brought back his young son, who had been with his grandmother in the state of Washington for several months. And the youngster celebrated his return by taking a long bicycle ride into the country.
 Chief Wright mixed himself up in an accident at a fire about three weeks ago and sustained a slight injury to his foot. Thereupon he decided that while he might be incapacitated from fighting fire he would enjoy his an- nual vacation then just as well as later. So he went over to the coast
 Los Angeles, San Diego, San Fran cisco, Seattle and Tacoma were the principal places he visited and he sue ceeded in letting more people know of the advantages and possibilities in the Salt River valley in the short time he was away than an ordinarily well organized and active chamber of com merce could in six months. He met people who knew of the garden spot of the southwest and told them more than they knew. He met others who had never heard of the Salt River val ley and gave them information they never expected to get If there is no

frantic airmen tried to get aloft be- fore his arrival One left the ground but a splash of machine gun bullets killed it's pilot, and it slipped to de- struction. Another made the attempt but ere it had risen fifty feet, It shared the fate of the other machines.
 A group of mechanics struggled with third plane A spray of bull lets swept over them and they struggled no longer.
 There was a silence in that aero drome, and a stiffness, and no living man was to be seen. The British ma chine droned laZily up above while its pilot rectified a jammed machine gun. Then it swept over the hangars riddling them and the aeroplanes within. Content with his work the Briton turned homeward.
 More than ten miles away were the British lines. One German attempted to intercept him. He boldly vol planed down, the German machine gun began to stutter then the Ger man pilot banked and dived. He was | afraid to fight alone
 l Again the Archie" clusters bludded the sky, but the range was too great minutes later the adventurous voyage ended and the Briton was safe The results of this sole effort were three aeroplanes destroyed, and a whole squadron, with it's aerodrom, wiped off the German fighting strength fol days to come.

MOLYbDENUM|S |S
 N0N| PRODUCER

1 In operation little over two weeks,
 the mill of the Arizona Molybdenum
 company, located at the company S
 mines, nine miles northeast of Wick
 enburg, are daily turning out about
 1,50O pounds of concentrates running
 not less than IS per cent, and accord :
 ing to one assay recently made as high as 26A per cent. This ore is being
 hauled out to Wickenburg, where 1t
 finds ready market. For the 26A per
 cent concentrate brought an offer of
 $700 per ton.
 | Much has been written regarding the
 claims of the Arizona Molybdenum { company, but little has been said re- gently Of the placing in operation of the new 50-ton mill. It now appears
 that working but one shift of eight hours daily, the company is turning
 out 1,500 pounds of concentrates. With the addition of another table. entailing an expense of about S1 900 the capacity of the mill will be doubled. This table is to be installed shortly. In addition an ore dryer or burner has already been shipped to the mine. This will
 make available a greater quantity of ore and permit the working of two shifts. Doubling ahe capacity of the mlli and working two shifts will make possible the daily production of about
 5000 pounds of concentrates.
 Mining operations continue actively at the property large quantities of rich ore being taken out daily; in fact more ore is being taken out daily and placed on the dump than it is possible to mill at this time. This means that even though mining operations were to cease
 there would be still many months of
 milling ahead before the dump would
 be cleared up.

IN BRITISH AIR SERVICE PERSONAL
 INITIATIVE COUNTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Aug 4.-ln no branch of the British army does personal initia- tive count more than in the flying corps In no branch of the service has it been more encouraged. The British pilot held the German in check by sheer inherent manpower when machine supremacy was unde- nlaDly with the Germans. Now that this supremacy has been neutralized by the increasing effectiveness of the British aeroplane, British pilots are given greater liberty of action still and many of them act in what might be called a free lance" capacity, says a British official statement
 One of those rowing airmen was over the battle line early one morn ing with no other purpose than that of sending to destruction any hostile plane which he might chance to meet, when the singular scarcity of possi ble opponents decided him to push further afield
 Then the German gunners concen- trated their attention on him. Clouds of anti-aircraft shrapnel festooned his course and flaming onions'- inflamable shells designed to set fire to an aeroplane-groaned up from be- low and burst in groups. But all the efforts of the German gunners were in vain. Now nose diving and side slipping, now soaring skyward, the British airman piroutted his way through the poisonous flame starred mist, and broke clear to the fresh cloudy heavens out of range.
 Safe past this zone of the Arch ies" he spied German aviator high above him watching for a chance to come down on the tail' of an un- suspecting pilot q favorite method of attack with Hun airmen. The Briton decided to rid himself of the menace without more ado
 Descending a thousand feet or so, he deliberately slid under a bank of clouds and there circled slowly, wait ing for the German to drop on him. Like a yacht driving through the

EXAMINATION BY
 PHYSICIAN MUST
 FIRST bE TAKEN

Nobody drafted by the government for military service need ask the sher- if for exemption blanks until he has first been examined by an authorized physician, according to Under Sheriff Lyman LaTourette last night.
 Since the publication of the master list in The Republican this morning" said LaTourette last night, we have received numerous requests for ex- emption blanks. These blanks cannot be secured now. The man drafted, who believes he is eligible to exemption must first stand a physical examina- tion, in compliance with orders from Washington"
 The publication of the master list in the newspapers is considered sufficient notice by the government, said La Tourette.
 We have sent out notices through the mail, however" said the under sheriff If any man drafted does not receive such a notice through the
 mail if he will please notify the sher- ifs office, we will see that he gets his notice.'
 Sheriff w. H. Wilky, LaTourette and a corps of assistants were busy all of yesterday completing their cler- | cal work in connection with the draft. | The force has made out a new list to | correspond with the master list re- | ceived from Washington and has care | fully checked the TIP names included | in the first cal for Maricopa county 1 classifying the names ,in the order
 in which they were called, so as tc

 tion had been gone ever at late hour last night, with the exception of about $50, and today these will be classi- fled.

spindrift of a breaking wave, the hostile aeroplane broke through the encircling mist and drove straight down on his antagonist. Down went the nose of the British machine. As if held together by an invisible stay. these two giant hawks dashed earth ward. Suddenly the foremost machine swooped upward and the famous side loop maneuvre was performed.
