ClOudburst Revives Old Custom (
 Gathering Nuggets.

An arrival from Weaver gulch, famed for its placer wealth in early days, and, the home of Rich Hill, stated that the elements have restored that region to a state of activity again, and the industry is being sue cessfully followed.
 The transition of the scene from abandonment to active operations was due to a cloudburst striking near the head of the creek, washing down. for over mile and a half an immense domain of the formation on both sides of the ravine that was melted away and carried down below the settle ment, leveling up the stream from source to mouth.
 This freak action is being haled with joy by Mexican placer miners especially, as we'll as other races now going into that field to begin wash ing. Placer mining ended several years ago along the creek bed proper and the boulder region on each side thereof afforded the only means of being rewarded. Locations are being made and quite rush is reported. The first recovery from the new-made placer formation is a nugget of about SIP in value, banned from what once was the center of the old channel. It evidently came from the steep side hill above, as the region where it was found had long ago been worked out. Locations also are being made along the steep inclines of the gulch, and a revival of old-time scenes is again under headway. Since the big rains of last week Rich Hill proper has quite number of fortune hunters at work in banning, but no sensational finds of nuggets as yet are reported.- Prescott Journal-Miner.

Sheep Industry To Stabilize Farming

The continued prevalence of high wool and meat values has placed the sheep business in a new light. The result will be that this phase of ani- nal husbandry will contribute ma- terially to the nations food and cloth ing supply. It will also add stability to our systems of farming and play an important part in the more complete utilization of our agricultural re- sources.

Two Men Killed in Quarrel Over Cow


 Sunday afternoon, Oscar and Will Pemberton, brothers living on a ranch near Hanson Junction, were shot and killed by J. T. Holmes. The quarrel arose over the trespassing of cattle on the Holmes ranch. Holmes had threatened to shoot the next COW com ing onto his place And on Sunday aft ernoon made good his threat. The Pemberton boys hearing the shot jumped onto their horses and rode to the Holmes ranch, where they tied their horses and approached Holmes, who ordered them to stop, they con- tinued to advance, and it is said Holmes commenced shooting without another word.
 The Pembertons have lived in the valley a great many years and were well known cattlemen. Both men were married and have families.
 "Justifiable homicide in the case of Oscar Pemberton and in doubt and off, fering no recommendation relative to the death of Wm. Pemberton. since he was shot after being wounded" was the verdict of the jury after an in- quest held by Coroner Cummings of Tempe on Monday.-Chandler Ari- zonan.

The Coconino sun., 1918-06-28

There is considerable complaint by receivers of Salt River valley pota- toes because they are not properly graded. In some cases carloads gre rejected because the grading is so far from the United States standard. This standard is now adopted by shippers in nearly all potato growing sections, and the section that does not comply with regulations must necessarily suf- fer, because the better grade will have the preference.

Editor News: Dear Sir: The
Third Liberty Loan is nearing a
close. From official and unofficial
reports obtainable. it is evident
that the Sixth Federal Reserve
District again has gone lover
the top'.-this time was a larger
total and more individual sub
scriptions than in Ell her of the
previous campaigns. The actual
figures will not be in hand until
after midnight Saturday, and we
feel confident our fondest hopes
will be more than realized.
The great success of the loan
could not have been achieved
without the unrestricted support
of the newspapers in this dis
trict. In presenting strong edi-
toriais, in the handling of news
matter and in placing display adj

of one people only, but of all. In the
crisis through which we are passing,
though 1t Is salutary crisis. it will
lead only to good.
1t is the human spirit that has made
the pations what they are. From the
beginning. through infinite debate and
contradiction, it has sought, unresist-

placed before the creature by the Crea-

from age to age the form of the great
revolts of history; 1t has been in turn,
aud sometimes altogether, error, illu-
sion, heresy, Intrigue, protest and
truth The human spirit is ever the
great shepherd of the generations, pro-

beautiful and the true. enlightening the
multirudes, ennobling and directing
the souls and minds of men toward

BURGESS ONLY PRO- HIT
No Other Local Professional Golfer
Receives Notice to Work
or Fight.

No more professionals stationed at the
golf clubs about Washington have re-
ceived notices to work or fight similar
to that received by Jack Burgess last
Tuesday. Burgess case is probably the
only one which will occupy the atten-
ton of draft officials here as regards
the status of professional golfers in the
capital. The Chevy Chase Club pro has
ten days left, according to a decision OF
his local draft board. before engaging
in an essential occupation.
Burgess is trying to get an essential
job which will occupy his time only
until early afternoon, when he can go
to the club and attend to his duties as
professional. or a night job, which will
permit the same thing.
Dr. Walter S. Harlan, chairman of
the green's committee of the Columbia
Country Club, has arrived back in town,
and, according to reports. will take
some action looking toward the estab-
lishment of golf as a recreation for the
soldiers in the camps along the lines
suggested by him to DR.. Fred Kepple,
third assistant secretary Of war, last
spring.
