WORD RECEIVED

Word received this week from Miss Katherine Teale, who is located at one of the base hospitals in Arkansas, tells of her safe arrival and that though she is very busy with her many du- ties, she is glad to be there to help in the great cause. It makes those her at home grow bigger to know that there are those among us who are of the sort that put aside personal ambition and pleasures to do for the common cause, and many a Sammy will be glad that he knows this girl from Mohave county.

A VOICE FROM THE FRONT

A letter from regular army officer in France, printed in the Army and Navy Journal, gives this refreshing view of our war progress:
 "The United States is certeinly doing more things over here in get ting ready to deal the kaiser and his dastardly hordes a clean knockout blow than most Americans at home have any idea of. I wish I was at liberty to state what wonderful prog ress in the midst of heart-brealking ob- stacles has already been accomplished, despite ths political calamity howlers who, see, are already in full cry at Washington, like pack of wolves.
 "I can only state in general way that our engineers have done great things in the way of railroads, wagon roads, etc. Our lines of communica- tion are already immensely advanced. The artillery, both light and heavy, are on the job preparing proper doses for the boche, and you can bet he won't like the taste of them. We have a large number of heavy calibre guns from the United States which the railroad artillery are to use, but the light pieces we use at present are the French seventy-five m-m., which our man cannot praise too highly.
 "Our infantry, signalmen, aviation section, medical men, etc, are equally alive, and so are our Q. M. corps, Ordnance department, and other ele- ments. It would most assuredly make interesting reading if I could go into details, but the rules forbid. |"
 And So it goes-the same old story, familiar to the British but new to us. The doubt, Encouragement, division and pickering are found only at home.
 The nearer you get to the front, the more cheerful is the atmosphere, the more inspiring the morale, the more obvious the results attained.

of being sick is thrown from his bed and beaten for long time with the butt-endS of rifles by guards, under the Croeodile's orders.
 "On December 10, 1916, the Ger mans treated four Englishmen in this way. beating them till they lost con- seiousness. They then carried them to the cage and lowered them ints the mine, where they left them till they had dug and loaded their eight carloads of salt.
 sThis mins is such a hell hole that some of the prisoners in order to be let out of it, have not hesitated to mu- tilatd themselves. The Germans per ceiving this, and fearing lest these acts might be repeated, decided that henceforth they would leave all wounded men without treatment for three weeks, whether their injuries were voluntary or involuntary.
 ''This was the case with a French man of the -th infantry( who was ac- cidentally wounded in the thumb. Not only was his wound left undress- ed, but Crocodile forced him to go on working even after his wound, from contact with the salt, had fester- ed. When he finally succeeded in hay ing his hand dressed, it was too late; his left hand is permanently disabled, the joints stiffened, and the thumb completely paralyzed.

FINDS RICH FLOAT ROCK

George Lockwood, one of the well known miners of the Stockton Hill country, reports the finding of rich float rock on the hillside north of the old Black and Tan mine. The rock is rich in silver and lead. About 30 years ago the Miner editor found large chunks of heavy lead ore in the same neighborhocd, assays from which ran 500 ounces in silver. As MT. Lock wood is careful prospector it is prob able that he will soon have the lead traced out.

Ny Boy-ths bugles are calling, Many tears are softly falling; Your mother if blue, your daddy is too, What's your littlS sweetheart going

 You'll help win this fight for the
 dear old U. s. A. Ny boy, the old folks are yearning, They'll keep the home fires burning; Your sweetheart is true, she's dream ing of you,
 While you're fighting for the Red,
 White and Blue. You'll soon be returning To hearts that are a-yeaning, So fight with all youE life, We must win this strife for the dear
 old Starr and Stripes.
 CHORUS When you come back, my soldier boy, To the good old U. S. A. Your mother, your sweetheart and daddy, too,
 They'll all feel so proud of you, When you come back from somewhere over there,
 There's a feeling you'll understand, Fresh from victory for the land of liberty, When you come back, my soldier boy.

MEN SUFFER
 LIVING DEATH

How the Germans treat allied pris- oners who are forced to work in salt mines is graphically told as follows by Belgian, the truth of the asser- tions being vouched for by the Bel gisn legation:
 "An increasing number of prisoners are being put to work in salt mines (Kaliwerk). The salt is used espe- cially for the manufacture of suffo- eating gases.
 "The galleries are at depths which vary about $50 to 23OO feet. The heat is so great that the men work absolutely naked, except for wooden shoes. The sweat drips from their bodies. The air is not fit to breathe, being full of poisonous vapors which bring an irresistible drowsiness.
 "At the end of a few months the laborers break out with persistent boils and incurable running sores; the slightest scratch often developing into deepening wound, which grows larger and larger. The fate of the captives employed in these mines is horrible
 q think it will prove interesting if I give some details about one of thsas mines. It is the mine called Kaliwork Prince Adslbert, at Olda1, in the district of Winssa. proVines of HaASvZ FkO prisoners employed thwa ct last aasoun1 numbered 4oo.

 ~WhanSvsr, at ths end of GiSht hours, these forty-four carloads have not been furnished, the delinquent crews are kspt below for one, two or thres hours. The prisoners are guard cd in the depths of the mine by Ger man civilians, armed with rOvolvsrs, who treat them brutaIly.
 'Whsn they come to the surface the prisoners are further obliged to perform supplementary laborS. Fhis happens evan on Sunday, when the prisoners have to work, and some times the whole day. On other Sun days they are locked up in a small enclosure, and at night they are also put under lock and key.
 ''Ths chief of the detachment is a German non-oommissioned offi- cer whom the prisoners have nick named the Crocodile He is a regu- lar giant, hideously deformed, but of enormous strength. His hands, el- bows, shoulders, knees and ankles are all out of shape. His face is bestial and wears, like his body, the marks of born criminal.
 Not a day passes but that he strikes the prisoners. To do this he takes his victim into his own room, shuts and locks the door, places his watch on the table, for the time of torture, five, ten, fifteen minutes, is fixed beforehand and then he falls with his fists, his booted feet, and sometimes a bayonet.
 "When his victim has tainted, this gentleman opens the door and kicks him out. In this kommando' sick ness is not admitted as a valid excuse from work. Any one who complains

ARIZONA BOYS
 COMPILE NEW MUSIC

''When You Come Back, My Soldier Boy," is the newest song and one that the Arizona folks are most interested in. The newest thing" was first play ed by the 15Sth regiment band at San Diego-that's Arizona's band, and made a distinctive hit. Flagstaff and Prescott are especially interested in the new hit because the song and music were written by Karl R. Goetzze of Prescott, but who is well known here, where he spent most of his time before going into the battle game. Jerome Rosen, who came here from Chicago some ten or twelve years ago, to grow up with the Peaks and other big timber, has the distinc- tion of drawing the cover design for the piece of music, the Red, White and Blue design being spaced in order that a photograph of Ma. Gen. Strong and the picture of the 158th band, which includes Albert Smith and Paul Keller of FlagSgAff, were prominently dis played. The words of the song are moi very long, but the music caught the bunch when the band first played it OF parade.
 The words are as follows-but you should hear the music that goes Witb 1t:
