per cent per 1000 but it is I'M
measurably better than our ANA
teur and professional pessimists
would have us believe, and d
vast improvement upon the show
ing Of any previous war.
For one thing, disease has
been so thoroughly eliminated
that a sick man has become a
curiosity: The soldier at the
front is certainly less liable to
attack by disease than if he
were at home. Everything he
eats and drinks and Wears, al
most everything he touches, is
subject to the finest medical
supervision of which science is
capable and if any particularly
persistent bacillus were to get
into his system, in spite of all
precautions, it would find him
in such superb physical condi-
tion that its work would be fu-
tile.
The high commands have thoro
ughly learned the lesson that
it does not pay to train a man
to be soldier and then lose him
from a cause that is in the least
degree preventable.
The drafted man who goes as
an ordinary soldier, taking his
judgement with him and leaving
his excessive enthusiasm behind
has every chance of coming back
in far better physical condition
than when he left.
1t is a hard life, this life in
the trenches, it is true, but it is
not the life SO dangerous, to NOR
tality that it has been pictured.

GERMANS SHORT OF
COAL.

Germany is believed to be fac
ing it's hardest winter. There is
a great scarcity of coal, SO that
some cities have put a stop to
the lighting of the streets
announce that they will be open
only on the days and that the
hours when artificial light is not
needed. Such days are very few
for Berlin is only 400 miles furth
er south than the southern point
of Greenland. 1t has but a short
day in winter, and much fog.

SOLDIER INSURANCE.

One of the uses to which it is
proposed to devote part of the
proceeds Of Liberty Loan Bonds
is to afford to our soldiers and
sailors life and indemnity insur--
ance and to provide for allowan-
ces to their dependent families
while they are in the ranks. On
this point Secretary McAdoo of
the Treasury, whose plan OF IN
eurance for our fighting men Was
endorsed by President Wilson
and is now embodied in a law
pending before Congress says ;
Every soldier and sailor who
serves his country in this war
will earn everything the proposed
war insurance bill provides; TO
be q beneficiary of the proposed
law will be badge of honor.
"When we draft a wage earn
or, we call not only him but the
entire family to the flag: the sa-
critice entailed is not divisible.
The wife and children, the moth
er the father, are all involved IN
the sacrifice they directly bear
the burden of defense. They
suffer just as much as the soldier
but in different way, and the
nation must generously dischar-
ge as a proud privilege the du y
of maintaining them until the
soldiers and sailors return from
the war aud resume the responsi-
bility.

The front, to be stabbed in the
back by uncertainty as to what

TRENCH MORTALITY.

LABOR TROUBLES AREDEPRESS|NG
 INVESTORS
DIFFICULT TO SEC URE EASTERN CAPITAL FOR MINING IN THIS FIELD, SINCE STRIKES ARE TAX ING PLACE.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Mir. and Mrs. T. C. Eddy arrived during the week from Albany, N. Y., and the former states he has perfect ed arrangements for incorporating the Empire Copper Mines Co.,, in which a limited number of shareholders arc to become interested. The property is located in the Black Hills district, and title work done last Winter proved satisfactory enough to an eT- amining engineer to warrant eXplora- ton to depth.
 Of the five who arc interested equal shares are to be issued, and the capi- tai stock will not exceed $250,000.
 Mir. Eddy states that Eastern capi- tai is somewhat restless since The strike occurred at Jerome. and until the labor atmosphere is cleared it will be quite difficult to enlist investors in Western mining, no matter how at tractive the proposition may appear. The Empire is to go ahead, however, at once, for the present tunneling will be started at the point which their engineer has recommended. Mir. Eddy also states that Western min ing is attracting very much interest since war was declared. all metals being in great demand owing to con struction of ships, ordnance and ve- hicles of every character. Mir. and Mrs. Eddy are to make Prescott their home

REACH THE GOAL IN
 MAKING A BIG MINE
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 After several days of an inspection of the holdings of the Copper Queen, Louis Goldman, the president of the company. expressed himself yester- day as gratiiied with conditions. men tioning the fact that the mine at last had entered the producing stage with a capacity of at least 100 tons per day for months to come This output, he says, can easily be maintained from underground workings exposed, and without taking into consideration what future development will afford. The mine at every point Is in ore. and our plans have been fully realized after nearly l2 years of operating, and the excellent showing can be verified upon examination" was his manner Of expressing the situation at the Queen today. The output will be treated at the Binghamton plant, and delivery begins in a short time. Al intervals for over ten years this prop crty has undergone exploration, in which a large amount Of capital has been outlayed by limited number of shareholders, and the fruits of the investment are about to be realized. From ifs inception the Queen has had at its head Mir Goldman, and of the original stockholders only q few Of the persistent remain. The success of. Notation IS the factor which gives to Yavapai another mine which will rank among its future mineral asset, and through it the industry will be- materially advanced The Queen is. in the same mincralized belt as the Binghamton, and a stone can bel thrown from one shaft house to the other. The success of these two mines is causing capital to enter that field.

EACH MAN MUST ASCER-
 TAIN HIS DRAFT NUMBER
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Outstanding in the war depart ment's regulations concerning the army draft is a rule which provides every registered man must seek out for himself the numbers which shall be drawn in the draft at Washington. This comes after the exemption boards throughout the United States have completed the task of number ing the registration cards for the draft serially, under the departments orders. It will be incumbent upon every registered man to ascertain his sclcctive draft number as recorded and sent to Washington by the board of exemption.
 It is important to know that this number is not the registration num- Der which was put on the blue cards by the registrar. That number has no concern with the draft. It was given merely for purpose of identif- cation.
 The draft serial number is the one which must be taken for comparison with those that shall be drawn by the United States authorities for the draft.
 List Is Preserved.
 So the registered men may have an opportunity for aScertaining the draft serial number, copies of the dis trict numbcrings will be kept by this city These will be in the hands oi the board.
 The serial numbers are to be the important figures. From them will be selected the drafted men. Upon the decision of the president and the war department will depend the num- Der of men to be drafted in the first drawing.
 The numbers will be in proportion to the entire number of men to be drafted and the number of exemption board districts in the United States.
 One Drawing For All.
 The drawn list of numbers will apply to every precinct in the United States. As these run into many the drawing need not ncc- cssarily cover more than a dozen or more numbers. Thus ii No. 1 be . drawn, every man in the United States . numbered l in the draft roll rcgistra ! tions will have been drafted.

PHOENIN, July 1l-Word that I. w. w. agitators who were forced from Jerome were coming through to Phoenix last night brought two of the police reserve companies to the sta ton.

 It was stated by passengers on the train that the agitators had left the train at various points up and down the line, scattering their forces in several places where they may make trouble later
 One Of the police reserve compan- icS went down the track to the 'Y" and there boarded the train, rifles in hand, ready to take in charge any potential disturbers. They went about their work in a quiet, orderly fashion, but 1t was easy to see that they would have followed instructions if the men they wanted had been found.

Wiley Hill, of Blythe, Cal, was not really anxious to capture first money in any event for which he entered during Frontier Days in Prescott h. stead he proved that his trip was for another purpose, that of throwing the matrimonial moose around one of the faircst young ladies in the State, Miss Josephine Butz, of this city. The marriage occurred in Phoenix on Monday, and the capital city range was chosen owing to the modcsty of the groom, who sent word that he was afraid of too big an ovation here from scores of friends.

ARIZONA TROOP
 QUARTER NOT ASSIGNED

WASHINGTON, July ll.-Subiect to the approval of General Bliss, the national guard troops were assigned today 10 concentration camps as fol- lows: South Dakota, at Deming, N. M.: Colorado to Linda Vista, Cal; Arizona not yet announced.
 That Whipplc barracks will ulti- mately be fixed as the training quar- ters for the increment to the First Arizona Infantry, to be raised by the draft, seems even more likely in view of. the above dispatch. The assign ment Of South Dakota troops to Dem ing. where the draft army canton ment for the Southwestern district has been located, indicates that the war department intends to train some of the State troop increments along with the national troops,
 The qualifications of Whipple for training men during the warm period which will prevail until the last ot September in the South, and the very fact of the plant itself, are regarded as strong factors in Prescott's claim to the distinction Of being the school site for the thousand or more young Arizonans who will be drafted into the State regiment.
 Additions to the regiment by re- cruiting are comparatively slow .and the men are assigned to units where they are trained among well drilled companions. The big increment, however, must be drilled as unit. and for this reason, cantonment must be established.
