erfug and retimbering the old work ings, ]. c. Dickenson, member of this firm, concluding a final exam ination recently and stating that the property would be revived at once.
 Mir. Dickenson has returned to Cobalt, and before leaving made all arrangements to start up just as soon as roads are opened. It is expected that before April l, the famous old property will again be active, but on a scale far more elaborate in practi- cal mining work than has ever been known, due to the strong financial re- sources of the owners and their es- tablished rating in mining as among the largest in the country, as well as the most successful. This syndicate also is closely controlled, and in its extensive operations both in Canada and the United States, conducts its affairs independently and without stocking of shares. They acquired the Storm Cloud after the death Of the original owner, nearly ten years ago, but did not decide to reopen the old workings until last Autumn, when conditions resulted in favorable action being taken to resume. The coming into this field of this well known mining firm is of more than ordinary interest and for the locality selected large benefits are anticf. pated.

Block said
 "I have in view the future of Pres colt to support this quite heavy out, lay of money, and to be candid there is everything to indicate prosperity and nothing to show that the city will slip backward. Furthermore sincerely believe Montezuma street IS to be the main business thorough fare and certain developments are pending to support this assertion While it is premature to announce what disposition I will make of these two pieces of realty, both will sooner or later assume some importance ir a business sense At no time since have been in business in Prescott does the outlook seem so securely shaped up for this city to be of i'm portance, due mainly to mining Many big properties are coming rapidly to the front, and with such s lively interest shown by capital wh, should l not keep in lookstep anC grasp at opportunities which at thi: time seem so alluring as well as at tractive: I have followed tho Rockies down the rim and the Has sayampa spur of the long chain suit: me better than any other location Prescott, indeed, has a fine future"

Returning Thursday from a visit to Walker district, Superintendent of Schools Miller stated he found sit nation in evidence, of which no other rural school could boast.
 This school" he said, 'is a mem- Der of the Junior Red Cross, and as surprising as it may seem, up to the present time the pupils have bought from their little savings twelve baby bonds and 34 thrift stamps. Is not that action a beautiful and praise worthy tribute to the patriotism of these young folks, who arc zealously and voluntarily helping the good cause? These children arc still buy ing securities, and it is wonderful the interest they manifest in doing their bit"
 Mir. Miller also stated that in every grade the work was up to standard, and in most instances the course of study had been completed. The pu- pills arc now reviewing their studies.
 Another feature of this school which pleased NIT. Miller was the spirit shown by the pupil and the in- terest so wholesomely reflected toward their welfare by the teacher, Mrs. Alice Archambeau. This school is the only one in Yavapai which provides three living rooms for the teacher, in addition to the main school room. It is in this environment that Mrs. Archambcau and children hap oily and contcntedly live, for the question of accommodations is set Al

PRISONERS CHEER COMMANDMENT
 OF MANNHEIM

LONDON, March lS.-How Brit ish prisoners in a prison camp at Mannheim, cheered the British air. planes which bombed Mannheim on December 24, was told this week by Corporal Edward Martin, an ex- changed prisoner who has just reached England.
 Tt was nearly dinner time said Martin, when we heard a lively droning in the air, and one of the wounded prisoners shouted, Here comes the British airman to strafe the Huns:'
 He had guessed the nationality of the machines from the sounds of their propellers, which is quite dis tinctive to one who knows them well. All was excitement in the camp. A lot of the guards took to the cellars, but the prisoners all rushed out into the open to see their countrymcn overhead.
 "In a few minutes large group Of airplanes, flying daringly low, passed directly over the camp. Their distin- guishing marks we're plainly visible to everybody, and every prisoner cheered wildly as the British airmen swept by amid a terrific noise of bursting shrapnel from the Mann helm defenses. The airplanes soon began to drop bombs, the noise of which we could plainly distinguish from the noise of the guns. It was a splendid strafe, and set us all cheering with delight. q
 "The bombardment was on tre- mendous scale Several bombs dropped near the camp, but not ac- tually on it, as the airmen seemed to know of our presence. The camp is artfully situated near a large nut milton works, the idea being to pro- tect the camp from attack, but on this occasion, at any rate, the Ger man precautions were of no avail, tor several bombs fell in the factory area, although of course we couldn't learn how large the damage was.
 The Germans spitefully marched a gang of French prisoners right into the center of the danger area, and one poor fellow was hit on the shoulder by splinter. The bomb which wounded him fell close to a group of tramcars full of German munition workers who were 1eav- ing the factory for dinner. Three cars were overturned and several persons killed and injured. We learned enough about the raid to know that the entire city was panic stricken, not only during the raid but for several days afterward."

SILENT MESSAGE
 WAFTED FROM LONG AGO
(Erom FridaYs DailYl

l.. F. Dikc, an arrival "Wednesday from Turret mountain, in the east ern section Of the county, displayed empty cartridge shells and gave par ticulars of finding a human skeleton, which may unravel an carly-day com bat with the Apache.
 With Mir. Dike was his prospecting partner, Elmer Chase, when the gruesome discovery was made. While returning to camp, travelling up a deep ravine, they noticed several ex- .pIoded Henry rifle shells. Picking up II, scattered. for distance of about 100 yards, they ran onto a bunch of brush, and discovered a lump of bones, nearby which was a human skull. They then decided to hunt for the grave, which was found less than ten feet above the brush, this being their impression when they found four loaded shells, Bar low pocket knife, and some writing paper which had turned to a yellow ish hue.
 Small pieces of clothing also we, picked up. A heavy storm passed over that region a short time ago, and in the rush of flood waters down the ravine the remains were exposed. It is believed that the remains were those of a prospector in the early 70's, for the reason that the Henry rifle was the universal weapon Of that day, and the deceased was be- lieved to have been cousin Of George Zika, who later discovered the Richenbar gold mine. in that re- zion. Zika many times mentioned that his cousin was never heard Of after leaving his camp. and his be- lief was that he had left the country, going to Fort McDowell to enlist in the army, this military post being To- catcd in Maricopa county, about SO miles to the south.
 That the deceased was a victim of !Apaches in a running fight is now the belief of Mcssrs. Dike and Chase. This story is also supported by others, based on learning that empty shells were picked up scattered for distance of over 100 yards along the gulch, indicating that as the man was rctreating to higher elevations. he repeatedly stopped 10 shoot. eject ing the shells. It is also presumed that he had stopped to fill his maga- zinc, when he was shot down and killed
 Mir. Dikc is to keep the four loaded shells as d memento of sad tragedy, saying: "Hc stayed with 'cm as long as he could, and he died game

 Tickets will be sold at Sl and will admit to the general fun as we'll as to the dancing. The floor of the new garage is 75 by 100 feet This will be put in shape for dancing and Pickerelrs we'll known orchestra will furnish the music. It had been planned at first by the owners of the garage to merely give a big, free dance, but it was later decided by Mr. Pickerell to give the garage over to the Red Cross, donate the music, and in this way assist the local organization in its worthy ef- forts.
 In addition to the Days of '49," an Ally Supper" will be served in the accessory room of the garage. Here thirteen tables will be beauti- fully decorated, carrying out the scheme of the ten Allies, one for the Red Cross and one each for the American army and navy. The tables will be presided over by 26 girls. The menu will conform to the Hoover plan, 25 cents being charged per plate. A special prize will be given to the two girls. taking in the most money for their particular country.
 The committee in charge of this unique affair needs little introduction or commendation, as the wonderful manner in which the members have carried out other entertainments of like nature, but in particular the cabaret in Prescott and the one in Jerome, places them in the top rank as entertainers.

The court reminded the prisoner that the time to remem- Der his mother and sister would have been at the time that the inspiration to forge the check had come to him, and that it was rather late for the defendant to become solicitous re- garding the welfare of his female relatives. And as to the young mans desire to get back into the army, the boy was reminded of the fact that he was badly wanted by the New York authorities on another bad check charge, and that in all proba- bility the war would be thing of the past by the time he had served all of his time.

INCREASED RATES
RAILWAY PASSENGER TRAVEL
EXPECTED TO BE HIGHER.

Aberdeen, May 22.-Railroad tray
elers and shippers will be paying in
creased rates instituted by the presi-
dent of the United States for the first
time in the country's history in the
near future, Aberdeen railroad Mel
predict.
Officials of local lines have esti-
mated that increase on passenger
rates will take place in just a few
weeks and that a freight rate increase
will follow shortly. The reason for
the increased rate is the increased
salary to grant to the majority of
road employees and the fact that rail
roads are running behind financially
under government control.
The situation is unique, officials
here point out, in that though Dill &c
tor General McAdoo is planning the
increase through the interstate com
merce commission. it is made by spe
cial authority of the president of th'
United States.
Passenger rates are expected Il
run on a straight mileage basis ant
the universal day coach fare will b.
3 cents per mile. Allowances will b'
made for differences between shor
and Ions lines. Pullman rates will
approximate 3h cents a mile an'
tourist rates will be about 3A cent
a mile.
The increase will add millions t
