HITS HIGH GRADE
 SILVER SHOOT IN
 COPPER PROPERTY
(From Sundays Daily)

Contrary to what was anticipated and somewhat at variance with the geological conditions, an eight-inch vein of high-grade horn silver has
 been opened in the Haney copper mines near Ramsgate, samples from the discovery made a short time ago being exhibited yesterday by the own- CT, Edward Hancy. This rare miner al deposit is situated in an indepen- dent formation from the main ore body, and is of a rcd oxide character, with the high-gradc plainly in evil dcnce to substantiatc natures freak actions. There is said to be only one counterpart of such a complex ore condition. the other property carry ing this unusual mincralogical action being outside the State Mir. Haney states he is surprised over his find. and modcstly withholds values owing to the bonanza assays given. The shoot IS to be further explored and the product sacked and shipped to market. There are no in- creased values in the ore from the copper zone and no other metals are associated.

T00MUCH WATER. BRINGS WOE ID
 THE bAPT TESTS
COLORED CONGREGATION APPEALS TO COUNCIL FOR RELIEF FROM BIG BILL INCURRED BY REAS- ON OF A LEAKY PIPE.
(From Tuesdays Dailv.)

One can hardly expect a Baptist church to get along without water, and the fact that the church IS sup ported by the colored population of this city makes it all the more patent that water played an important part in the conduct of the religious cere- monies which are held from week to week.
 However, there Is such thing as even a Baptist church having too great an abundance of water. The congregation would probably not have objected to this abundance of the H2O had 1t not been for the fact that the aforesaid H2O ran through one of the meters installed by the city water department and thereby boost ing the church's water bill to a point where the brethren felt compelled to raise their voices in protest against the bill of unseemly size, the circum- stances surrounding this unusual case being as follows:
 The Mt. Olive Baptist congregation of Prescott recently purchased building on South Granite street for their church home, and in the base ment a water pipe sprung leak sev- cral weeks ago. The water continued tc run for a full 30 days before any enc discovered the waste and shut 1t off. The pipe was attached to metes and when the water man called, the meter registered a tariff of SIS against the congregation. The average months bill was something like g, and the churchmen waXed wroth. But the city collector could not deviate from his rule of collecting the full amount of each bill, and in order to prevent the water being shut off, the Baptists had to pay the SIS.
 Last night one of the brethren ap- peared before the city council, ex- plained the why and wherefore of the leaky pipe and the big bill, and asked the councilmen to have heart. Coun- cilman Anderson decided that tho church. folks ought. not be charged with the excess bin. which had been run up through no fault of theirs, and moved that the extra SIS be refund- cd the congregation. The motion carried and the Baptist emissary de- parted in jubilant frame of mind.

GRAZING RIGHTS MUST NOT BE
 NEGOTIABLE
(Frou Tuesdays DailYO

There is considerable discussion in livestock circles of this locality over an order issued recently by the secretary of agriculture notifying all holders of permits for grazing on na- tional forest reserves that the pay ment of any bonus or allowance for waiver of the grazing privilege in con nection with sales of livestock or ranch properties will be cause for the revocation of the permit.
 This unexpected official action is que to the grazing privilege being ot large value and the ever-growing de, mand for use of the forest ranges. which is now in most regions, far beyond their capacity. Those in charge of the national forest grazing business state it would be entirely unfair for the public to forego a maximum return for the value or use of its property and then allow those granted the privilege of use, to col, lcct this value from others as the price of surrendering their privileges. Such a practice would, they say make competitive disposal the only logical course for the government to pursue
 In warning range users that the payment of bonuses or the giving of any consideration to secure the fil' ing of waiver of the grazing privi- lege, the order received states that such is prohibited, and is sufficient cause for the revocation of permit or forfeiture of all grazing preferences based upon the purchase of permitted stock. Accordingly there will not follow, as has been the custom re- gently in ranch and range deals in this and other sections on national forests that dickering which places a high-class value on privileges given by the government to graze livestock. The lid goes on tight on transactions of this character.

PERILOUS PLIGHT OF
 ARIZONAN IN MEXICO
(From Sundays Daily)

r. K. Brunton, until recently assis- tant superintendent of the Consoli- dated Smelling Co.,, at Humboldt, who left Prescott about two weeks ago for a mining camp near Torreon, Mexico, was unfortunate enough to be aboard the train blown up by Villa bandits, a thrilling account of his ex- reriencc having been received by letter yesterday.
 Mir. Brunton states he travelled via Chihuahua, on advice given by friends that this route was liable to less danger, and while not as direct as others, was regarded as the safest. But the contary prevailed, and the attack made by Villa soldiers he pie lures as fightful in loss of human and how any escaped is considered as q miracle. The number killed out right was 142, and only few escaped injury, fortunately he being among the latter. He lost everything of personal nature, in two large hand bags, and made his escape without cent in his pocket With captain of the Carranza army on the train, who was slightly wounded, he start cd to flee the country, and theIr pace was swift. Over 70 miles distant was tic nearest place of safety, and m negotiating the trip additional hor- TOTS faced these two every time telegraph pole was reached, by corpse being seen dangling from cross-arm. Scores of dead bodies were counted, but in their perilous situation, Mir. Brunton writes, there vas no alternative but to keep nov ing ahead with these morbid spec taclcs of vengeance facing them as ev- cry pole was reached. "1 was m al tight place, and did not know what was to face me by keeping ahead; to- % back to the scene where the slaughter occurred was suicidal, so took long chance with my Mexican captain friend, who guided me safely into a settlement where Carranza soi-i dicrs met and extended Us many con-l alterations"
 Mir. Brunton stated that he and hls friend did not have weapon ot any nature. much less cent on their per- sens. and had they remained on the ground 10 minutes after the train was dvnamitcd, there Is no doubt but both would have been lined up and shot down. The crack of rifles heard as they were sprawling through un- derbrush convinced them of theit fate if captured.
 Mir. Bruuton is now safc at the camp of his destination, and has a lucrative position with large Amcr- can mining company in the smelling department. Mrs. Brunton and two children did not deem it advisable 10 accompany him to Mexico and re- maincd in Prescott. Later and after the Mexican atmosphere clears up sufficiently to permit of security to travellers and safety to their persons, thev may leave for that country. Had Mrs. Brunton and children been aboard the ill-fatcd train there IS noi question but what all would have met the cruel fate suffered by so many others
