TWO YAVAPAIANS RE-
 TURN WITH THEIR BARS
(From Sundays Daily)

Hcrndon J. Norris and J. w. Get singer, Yavapai county men who won commissions as second lieutenants in the field artillery at the Presidio of hcers' school, have returned from San Francisco for short leaves, prior to reporting for duty with the drafted troops at American Lake. Wash.
 Both of them were very young men to win such high positions, but both of them show the fine results of in tensive training.
 Norris was a partner in his dads law firm here. Getsinger was a school teacher at Clarkdale.
 The course they elected was the hardest given at the Presidio, and the branch of service they are now in is the next highest in the entire Amer ican military scheme. The instructors at the Presidio were experts in secur- ing from the men the highest amount of application.
 The spirit of the men in training at this school was admirable, according to Getsinger. After number of them had been dismissed, as unfit for fur ther training to be officers, large percentage of them turned right around and enlisted, preferring to start in at the bottom and acquire what they failed to get in short course. They went to every branch of the service, including the navy. To these men, who have prov en the best of sports, in spite of every reason to be discouraged, there will come swift promotion as their pro- gross in military science warrants.
 Captain A. H. Gale, who is also in the field artillery, will leave tomorrow for the Presidio, where he will be an

COPPER HILL READY
 FOR BIG OPERATIONS
(From Sundays Daily)

The Copper Hill holdings in Copper
 Basin are being shaped up for large development to begin immediately, and the arrival few days ago of large oil burning engine to drive an air compressor marks new era in operations decided upon for that property.
 This move results from develop ment given since Arthur l.. Garford took over the group last April, since which time over seven carloads of high grade copper-molybdenite pro- duct have been shipped East, with values that were satisfactory. The in creased power facilities are warranted by development given at different points, and the plan Is to drive the main shaft to a depth of 1000 feet, with intermediate exploration also energctically carried out. Additional surface accommodations are to be provided for an increased force, and what is planned to be the biggest camp in that field will soon be re- aliZcd.

MODES FROM DESTROY FER FLEET COME ASHORE AND RENEW FRIEND SHIPS WITH MEN FROM THE OTHER BOATS.

 BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS IN BRITISH WATERS, Aug. 1S.-- It was like an old home week here the other day when an unusually large number of destroyers came into port and consequently larger number oi erstwhile middies, now officers in Uncle Sam's navy, came shore. Every body said hello to everybody else. A Georgian drawled out to a Texan, while the man from New York and the one from New England, could easily be spotted by their manner of speech. Many were former navy men, who had served for brief period after being graduated from Annap- oils, but who responded to the call, when the United States came into the war

 It is this almost boyhood enthu- siasm among full grown men that has endeared the Americans to everybody with whom they come in contact here. "Yanks," the villagers call them in admiration.
 One of the pleasant surprises for the younger officers from the classes from 1906 to 1911 occurred the other day when they met their teacher of English and marine law at Annapolis in the person of the American consul here. Hes got pretty good line on all of us" said one of the former probably recalling an incl dent of boyhood mischief at school. The consul winked knowingly. Its mighty fine to see so many of those youngsters again" unused the consul after he had finished shaking hands all around.

WAR DEPARTMENT
 SAYS WHIPPLE MUST GO
(Fron Sundays Daily)

Orders have been issued by the war department, which are interpreted
 by military people as meaning the complete abandonment of Fort
 Whipple, in which all personal or movable property of any character is to be shipped away. as we'll are all frame buildings on the reserve to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder.
 It is estimated that there will be five carloads of furniture, fixtures and other goods, and Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, Texas, is designated as the shipping point. It is expected to have the property loaded before next Wednesday. Nothing but the bare buildings are to remain, and it is also stated the services of caretakcr will 'bc discontinued.
 This action has created general comment in this city, in view of tho fact that military orders issued last May called for the rc-garrisoning of the post, in which two battalions or 800 soldiers were to be on duty, with a probability of light artillery and school of musketry being stationed there. Favorable recommendation have been repeatedly made by mili- tary men for this post to be main taincd and the final disposition of the matter Is cvoking expressions of very much surprise.

COUNTY VALUATION IS
 RAISED A HALF MILLION
(From Saturdays Daily)

K. T. Belcher, clerk of the board of supervisors, yesterday received notice from the State tax commission that some material changes had been made in the valuations and assessments of the county for the coming fiscal year, most of the readjustments being charged to the county's livestock and mining interests The changes in the valuations have been authorized by the State board of equalization, which was recently in session at the State capital, and will result in a net gain in the county's assessable property of S6o4, ,5o1.
 The valuation on the ll7,S67 head of range cattle which are assessed in the county, was raised to S2o per head, making total of S3,4lS,l43, this sum being a net increase of S4l,- 46S over the assessments of last year. The State board felt justified in mak- ing the raise in the valuation because of the fact that the market is at present rather strong and good prices are being obtained for all beef cattle sold.
 The county's 112,2l0 head of sheep were ordered assessed at S6 head, bringing the valuation of the wool producers up to $673,260. an increase of S224,42O over the figures of 1916.
 All goats in the county, numbering 44,OSO. will be listed at s head. The total value of this class of livestock in the county is thus placed at Sl32,- 24O, or S20,l more than that of last year.
 The United Verde Extension Min ing Company secured reduction of the assessed valuation on its produc- ing mines and equipment amounting to Sl26,070, the values as determined by the equalizing board being S27,- 55l, 32o.
 In the matter of the assessments oi l the property owned in this county by the Grijalva Coarse Gold Mining Company, the State board ordered a flat reduction of 50 per cent, and in stead of being taxed an S22,030 worth of property, the company will be scheduled as being worth SllOl5.
 The value of the producing mines owned by the Copper Chief Mining Company, at present leased to the Hayden Development Company, was scaled down to Sl73,0S0 from the former valuation of S240,3S3, result ng in a decrease of S67 1903.
 The affairs of the Bank of Jerome were evidently considered to be in prosperous condition by the State board. the assessment on the shares ,f the stock of the organization hay ng been increased to S53,0S9 from he old figure of S49,3l9, a raise of ;3.77O.
 The property and equipment of the Arizona Smelling Com :. ,any also came in for raise, the ormcr valuation of S3OO.0OO having cen boosted to ,46O, an increase :, f $l34,46O. o The Jerome Meat Company was lso listed for a raise in valuation, the CIV figures as fixed by the board be- ng $76,236. an increase of S44,696. The rcadjustments as set out above ntail gross increase of $S9S,979 in he valuation of the county's taxable roperty, while the decreases amount D $2O4, 4,3SS, leaving a net increase of \ 694. .59l, which will result in a ma ,rial boost in the amount of the axes collected in the county during lc coming year.
