Mac Bean is at the head of the United Chino Oil & Refining Company, and since the oil showings have been made in the field to the north, he has been actively engaged in boosting the affairs of this organization. He was accompanied to Prescott by \. NJ. Mcclellan, another official of the company.
 Mir. MacBcan stated yesterday that since the oil fever had laid hold on him he had been making efforts to resign from his official capacity in Phoenix. but up to date had been un- able to break away from the city ad- ministration. Politics in Phoenix, says Nlr.

CFrom Tuesdays Daily0

]. K. Kyle, an carly-day mining man Of this county, who returned from Colorado a short time ago, yes tcrday closed deal for the ten min ing claims of William Dearing in Thumb Butte district The ranch and other interests in that section of the seller are included in the deal, with the exception of the range cat tic. Mir. Kyle gave quite an inter csting interview after closing the sale, by saying:
 q propose to operate on an indi- vidual basis, and there will be no as sociation or corporation behind thi, movement. The motive which brought me back to Prescott, after an absence of many years, was to close this deal since silver has come back to dollar an ounce. l am particu- larly familiar with the property pur- chased. The old A. B. mine, which shipped to San Francisco in 1870, its high grade silver-galena product, when I was working at the camp, will be re-opened and fully explored through the old 400-foot tunnel and other exploration will be given. know underground conditions and am also convcrsant with the geology of that belt. Having fully made up my mind to secure the group, plans have been formulated in advance for its working, and without any further ceremony action begins at once"
 Since leaving Prescott Mir. Kyle has been identified with mining in Colorado, but through litigation lost heavily in a certain property At one time he was in charge of timbering of the celebrated Cariboo silver mine of Boulder county, the biggest pro- duccr of its mineral class in the world He was also identified with the Cripple creek field. He is q brother of Thomas Kyle, one of the original owners of the Copper Hill il; Copper Basin. Four sons of Mir.

BCND RECORD IN YAVAPAI AN ENVIABLE ONE
(From Sundays Dailv.I

Yavapai county and Prescott can today tell the world just what brand of patriotism it has, for there is scarcely a nook in the entire breadth of the old mother" county in which an earnest campaign for the selling of the bonds for the Third Liberty Loan has not been carried on aggrcs- sively. Yet. with all the wonderful showing which has been made, those who have not purchased q bond or bonds should go to their bank on Monday and subscribe It's not too late There should not be home in Yavapai county in which there is not q Liberty Bond. There is no better manner oi showing the boys in the trenches that their work and possibly the very sacrifice of their lives IS ap- prcciated than by the fact that the subscriptions for the Third Liberty Loan will go away over the top.
 To those who have worked faith fully and there arc many men and women who have devoted much tiIn" to this work. the returns for lavanai county should be gratifying. Yes tCrddl, rom nttle Oul-pl-lt'- dE stations, phone calls were bc.uG sent in for applications for bonds.
 Jerome, Clarkdale. Stoddard, Crown King, Humboldt, Miller Valley, Wal kcr, Dewey, Ash Fork and Prescott have all made splendid records. In a coming issue of the Journal-Miner will appear the names of the lO0 Rer cent firms in Prescott, which means that every employee and employer in the firms mentioned have bought Liberty Bonds; also an honor list. which will show the firm names of those who have practically gone into the lOO per cent class, but are not in cluded for such reasons as employees or employers having purchased War Savings Stamps, or for other good and sufficient reasons.
 The Santa Fc railroad employees in Yavapai county have made an envia- blo record. and yesterday made q call at headquarters for some 45U Liberty Loan buttons.

SOLDIERS ID BE ENTERTAINED
 0N FRIDAY
BOYS IN DRAFT CON- VINCENT WILL BE BAN- OUETTED AND GIVEN A ROYAL SEND-OFF ON EN- TRAINMENT NIGHT.
(From Sundays Daily)

Next Friday evening, May 10, marks the date on which anothcE contingent of Yavapai county sol diers will leave for the training camps. As has been the custom in the past, the boys will be given fit- ting farewell Plans have practically been completed by the Yavapai County Soldiers and Sailors Well fare committee for this special en- tertainmcnt.
 At 5:30 the boys will be the guests of the committee at dinner to be given at the Yavapai club. This din ner will be exclusively for the boys who are to entrain for the camp, members of the exemption board anc a toastmastcr to be selected by the committee.
 Arm bands bearing the inscription "Yavapai County Soldiers" will be placed upon the arm of every soldier immediately upon his being declared a soldier on the morning of the 10th. This will make 1t easy for those de- string to know just exactly who the soldiers are as we'll as for the con venience in entraining the men.
 The committee is also planning upon having the street leading to the special car well watered down so that there will be little or no dust It is also planned to have either a string of lights or one or two large lights so that the car will be ap- propriately lighted.
 N special entertainment will be th. 1f the Ik- theatre, commencing promptly at .7:30, when the feature picture, The Whip" will be shown. In addition there will be special musical num- bers and some rare treats in store for the general public. The soldiers will be guests of the management of the theatre and the committee. while the general public will be charged 50 cents. Fifty per cent of the proceeds will go towards the sum necessary for entertaining the soldier boys.
 One of the special numbers of the evening will be the singing ot Fri vatc Karl K. Goetze'S song, When You Come Back, My Soldier Boy. It will be remembered that Goetzc was one of the first draft boys of Yavapai county, and won the adfnira- ton of all by his clever singing and playing. Since entering the army Goctzc has become quite the hit ot inc coast by reason of the clever songs which he has written and the fact that he is ready and willing to assist on all occasions. The San Di- ego Union, one of the leading dailies of California, contained the follow ing article in a recent issue, regard ing Goetzc, who is one of the lead ing musicians in the l5Sth Infantry Band, at Camp Kearny. "Mr. Karl R. Goetzc, the cowboy composer, and a member of the 15Sth Infantry band has written and composed the music to a song which has taken like wild ire wherever he has sung it. Inc melody is one that is not only catchy but grows on a person the more he hears it.

ton board, arrived in Prescott yes terday morning from his trip to Port land, Ore, and was quite surprised when he was appraised of the fact that Dr. Finn and Mayor Heap, his fel- low workers on the board, had been decapitated at one fell swoop by Col. Harris
 T don't know how it happens that l didn't get canned too,' said NIT. Young to Journal-Miner reporter yesterday. T have stood pat with, the other board members in every brush which we have had with Col Harris, and I would have imagined that he would have held me equally as guilty and rebellious as he did Mir. Heap and Dr. Finn. l shall continue to serve on the board, be cause, in the first place, l couldn't resign if l wanted to, being drafted for this position, and on the other hand l don't want to quit anyway. The only reason which I can assign for the fact that I wasn't discharged was that I was not present at the time that Heap and Finn had the notable personal wordy encounter with Col Harris on the day of his visit to Prescott. Probably had been there and talked back to the colonel like the others did, he would have had my scalp nailed up on the barn door by this time. Some believe that l was spared because I was a democrat, but I do not believe that this had anything to do with the matter"
