Mr.. George F. Powell, chief
engineer for the San Geronimo
Mining Company, who returned
from a visit to the camp early
in the week, reports that about
the first of March operations
will be resumed by that COM
pany in a moderate way.
The San Geronimo is situated
over near the San Miguel river,
about 25 miles northeast of
Poza, station on the Sonora di-
vision of the S. P. de Mexico,
about 100 miles from Nogales.
The mining ground held by the
company comprises about. 80
pertenencias, through which
there runs a wide ledge of silver
bearing rock, in which develop
ment has been carried on to a
depth of several hundred feet.
The ores are concentrating, and
upon the mine is a concentrator
with a daily capacity of 100
tons. The ores concentrate 16
tons of rock into one ton of con-
centrates, which latter run
about $1,000 per ton in value.

TOMATOES IN ABUNDANCE.
Midwinter Shipments from the
West Coast of Mexico.

The movement of the midwin-
ter crop of fresh tomatoes from
the Los Mochis country, in the
state of Sinaloa, has commenced.
Several carloads are arriving on
each days train from that re-
gion and it is expected that the
entireseason's output will reach
one thousand carloads.
Los Mochis is situated ON the
Fuerte river, a few miles from
the port of Topolobampo, in the
northern portion of the state OF
Sinaloa. 1t is the locality OF one
of the largest sugar plantations
and refineries in the republic,
the property of American CAPT
talists and which is now in full
operation. Before the revolution
ary troubles it had been demon
strated that this region. afforded
exceptional opportunities for
the production of vegetables
such as tomatoes, canteloupes,
ETC., at seasons when the great.
er portion of the United States
was wrapped in winter snow
and the earlier efforts in this
direction brought the enterpris.
ing growers large profits. Nov
that peace has been restored, the
industry has again been taker
up, with the results noted.

Bank Robbery.
(Wickenburg Miner.)

wv AOhOAA0AA
A bad, bold, masked bandit
entered the Central bank here
Thursday afternoon just at clos
ing time. and told Cashier
Springer to walk out from be-
hind. and. pull the blinds and lock
the. door. The bandits revolver
looked very persuasive to Mr..
Springer, and he reluctantly
complied with the request. The
bandit then took a position COM
manding the side door, and
awaited the return of Mr.. Pear
son, the bookkeeper, who was
out after some, wood. When he
came in he was told to throw up
his hands. He took it as a joke
at first, but. was told it was the
real thing. Then Mr.. Springer
was told to tie Mr.. Pearson Sc
curely in one Of the chairs. At
ter this was done, the bandit
tied Mr.. Springer and blindfold-
ed and gagged each of the men,
and then made a clean sweep OF
the gold, silver and currency,
amounting to about $1,000. He
then departed, leaving Messrs.
Springer and Pearson to reflect
at leisure on this wicked, wicked
world. BY bouncing their chairs
on the floor they succeeded in
attracting the attention of Mrs.
Smith, of the Hotel Vernetta, in
which building the bank is locat-
ed. She quickly secured aid, and
), the doors were broken in and the
gentlemen loosed from their ties.
It was less than half an hour,
but it gave, the bandit time to
make a clean getaway. At first
lit was thought that he got away
in an automobile, and machines
were sent in every direction, but
they found no evidence of any
one travelling any Of the roads at
that time.
The bandit probably slipped
off the overalls, cached his loot
lin some convenient spot, and
:. was back helping in the hunt,
being an interested party.
Sheriff Wilky and assistants
arrived from Phoenix early in
the evening, and spent the night
looking for clues, and returned
to Phoenix Friday morning
leaving the work Of catching the
bandit to the Kansas Casualty

. which the bank was insured fol

loot. Total result. Ore bandit

men, cheerfully ready to do whatever
they. were called upon to do and many
of them have already been called upon
to make the greatest sacrifice.
The men, women and children Of
these states have given their time,
their money and themselves to aid
in the great work being done by the
Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other
organizations. The rich, the we'll to

In fact, the people of the Ninth
District have been so we'll organized
and have responded so loyalty that
they have put this district in class
by itself. During the Third Liberty
Loan campaign, this district started
it's campaign last, finished it first, ex.
ceeded every other district in over
subscription of its quota, and, in the
sale of bonds, secured a better per-
centage of distribution than any other
part of the United States. Surely the
people of this district have very great
reason to be proud of their record.

SPOKE SATURDAY

Capt. T. E. Y. Seldom spoke in the
Armory last Saturday night under the
auspices of the Fourth Liberty Loan
committee. Hon. A. P. Hanson, of
Litchville, chairman for Barnes coun-
ty, presided at this meeting and in a
very snappy and pleasing manner in
troduced the speaker. Capt. Seldom is
a very good speaker and kept his au-
dience interested all through and gave
some Of his personal experiences on
the battle front. He is optimistic
over the outcome of the war but
thinks we have lot of work to do be-
fore the war will end, but when it
does end it will be a big victory for
the allies. The program opened Sat-
urday night by the singing of Amer
lea and at the close the captain called
for three cheers and a hip, hip, hur-
rah for the boys over there, because
he said they might hear the noise and
it would do them good to know that
everybody was backing them up. On
account of Saturday night being
busy night the crowd was not as large
as it might otherwise have been.

Fourth Liberty Loan mas not peea Of
ficlally announced. 1t Is commonly
thought, however, in official circles
that the amount will be SIX billion
dollars. This is twice the amount
asked by the Government tor the
Third loan.
What will this mean? It will neaA
that there will have to oe an In
crease in the average amount given
by individual subscribers and also 4
largely increased number of subscrib-
ers. For the people of the Ninth Dts-
trict to raise $2OO,000,OO0, it will
be necessary for every man, woman
and child to make an effort, to sacri-
fee, to give up many things they
would like to do or buy, and not only
to do their full duty, but make 1t
their business to see that every other
man, woman and child does his or
her duty.
The Ninth District occupies very
enviable position among the districts
of this great country. The Ninth Dis
trict must retain this position. In
order to do so, there must be put
forth q united, whole-hearted effort
"of all the people, by all the people,
and for all the people,"

RED CROSS
BRANCH items

After Tuesday, Sept. 10, there will
be no Red Cross work at the branch
rooms until our next allotment ar
rives, which, according to the North
ern Division Bulletin may be late in
arriving. All workers are asked to
hold themselves in readiness to res
pond when it does come. In the
meantime, the Eastern Star Auxiliary
extends an invitation to any and all
who can come on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday afternoons to help
make the large number of comfort
kits which they must get out soon.
The branch officers and committees
wish to thank all who have so gen.
erously responded with their time and
labor in getting out, not only our
quota, but many other garments be-
isdes, for their cooperation and 10y
atty to the last. We hope the ac-
complishment of this work leaves
with you a feeling of pleasure which
will more than offset our thanks, and
of knowing that we can go "over the
top" if we must.
Mrs. C. E. Hamilton and Mrs.
Smith have proven to be our cham
pion button hole workers, having
worked practically all the button
holes in the allotment, but giving will
ingly many hours to this work.
We are also greatly indebted to the
Courier-News force for the fine but
tonhole attachment presented and
without which the above buttonholes
would not have yet been done.
Then another thing which does to
show that the men are not entirely
oblivious to our labors is the presen-
tation of a machine motor by Mr.. J.
H. Nelson, with which to run the ma
chine with the above buttonhole at
tachment and for both of whuch we
extend our appreciation and thanks.
The surgical department completed
their large quota Aug. Is and have

ment which only requires one meeting

a large extent for the fine record
made. The natural energy and clear.

jority of its citizens Is responsible for
the balance. Whatever the cause, the
results have put this district in class

ties in charge at Washington admit
that the men and women Of the North
west will do what is asked Of them
in their own way, out will do It prompt

From all this, it ia evident chat
great deal will be expected from the
Ninth Federal Reserve District in the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The
standard set is so high that it will
take extra effort to maintain 1t. That
means that all those who worked hard
