BOTH SILVER AND COPPER
 MINES IN DEMAND

MIAMI, Ariz., April 5.-Mining properties are in more demand in Arizona at this time than in any pre- vious period of the world war. This applies particularly to copper and sil- yer properties. Strong interests stand in the market ready to acquire either copper or silver holdings the minute they are shown to have merit This means, of course, that there must be some advance development The day of the straight out prospect has gone pretty much into the dis card, so far as large interests, equal to the demands for vast sums oi money to be expended in making and equipping a producing mine, arc con- cerncd.
 Prospectors relate that they find more activity in the State at large than in many years and that they have no difficulty in getting quick attention to discoveries they make. Funds come forward with compara- tive freedom from smaller investors for advance development Among properties which have gone through this course and arc now in the hands of strong capital and by way of mall- ing into big producing mines are Porphyry Copper in this district, the Kay copper property which has en- gagged the association of interest of George Long and his associates in the Cave creek district, and the Ray Silver in the Ray district These are perhaps the most conspicuous of a dozen or more properties in this class and at the present time prom inently in the public eye in different parts of the State

YAvAPAI SCHOOL CENSUS
 SHOWS BIG GAINS
(From Thursdays Daily)

That Yavapai county is larger in population at present than at any time in its history is indicated by the returns received this week by School Superintendent Miller who has con- piled statistics and summarized cen sus reports returned from every dis trict, which shows an increase at large during the past year of over 13 per cent as compared with 1917, or a total this year of 4,S54 as against 4,2S2.
 Prescott again jumps into first place with a school population of L. 063, while Jerome is a close second with 966 Cottonwood, according to data at hand, leads every district in the county in percentage of gain made, jumping from % last year to 3ll in 1918, or an increase of over 2l3 per cent
 Another Verde valley town, nearby, Willard, also keeps up the clip of a heavy increase, of 56 per cent, with 64 pupils enrolled.
 Jerome Junction also sends in re- port which is surprising, showing an increase this year of 94 per cent. This district advanced from g in 1917 to l01 in 1918, which is probably due to the coming of many farmers to that region during the past year, and with more to follow
 Ash Fork sent in an excellent re- port which shows gain of this year over that of last of 30 per cent, or an increase from 39 to 75 children.
 Mayer shows an increase of 10 per cent, while Camp Verde leaps up to over B per cent over 1917. having IA children in school.
 Clarkdale advanced again this year with an increase of l3 per cent, and has enrolled at present 565 school children Humboldt, another smelt ing town. showed an increase of 24 per cent, having an attendance this year of 3O3 against PA in 1917.
 The greatest gains in the county have been made in districts through out the Verde valley region, which is due probably to new mining move ments, new towns being established and new settlers arriving. ,.
 As a whole the statistics show that there were S1 per cent of the census enrolment in attendance at school this year as against 7S per cent last year.
 Of the larger schools, Jerome and Clarkdalc lead in the largest number in public or private schools, Jerome having SC per cent and Clarkdale S4 per cent.

YAVAPAI LEADS
 ENTIRE STATE AS USUAL

PHOENIX, April +.-Accordiug to recent statement issued by State Distributor George Kirkland, of the Arizona War Savings committed. Yavapai county is the only county within the State which has approXi- matcly raised its full allotment to date. All of which proves that it is necessary to take our coats off and get to work to bring the other coun- ties up to the very excellent showing made by Yavapai county" declares Mir Kirkland.
 For some time those in charge of the War Savings campaign through out Arizona have feared that the Third Liberty Loan would have a serious effect on the War Savings work But, according to NIT. Kirk land, the Liberty Loan should not retard the War Savings work. "Wc think it should rather add stimulus 10 the war savings" he said.
 Grccnlee county, sixth in propor- ton, took first place among the other counties of Arizona in the sales of Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds for the month of March. Much of the success of the work in Grccnlce dur ing March was due to the wonderful twcnty-one day campaign conducted by the fraternal organizations of Morenci. The sales for the month amounted to S64,0453S, of which more than $5+,00O was raised by the Nor cnci campaign.

DR. r. |. NORMAN FACES SERIOUS
 ACCUSATION
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT ON MATRON AT STATE HOSPITAL, AND CLIMAX
 COMES WHEN WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Phoenix is passing through one of its most sensational exposures in a professional line, by the arrest a few days ago of Dr. F. C. Norman, charged with a serious offcnsc in an alleged attempt to commit crim- inal assault upon Mrs. Ethel E. Mur- phy. trained nurse.
 Dr. Norman until short time ago was superintendent of the State hos pital for the insane, from which of flee he was relieved. According to the press account he was arrested on d complaint sworn to by James G. Simpson, brother-in-law of Mrs. Murphy, and the episode which prompted this criminal action was an attempt at suicide made by Mrs Mur- phy. who placed revolver to her breast and fired a shot which may prove fatal.
 It is charged among other things that while Dr. Norman was at the State hospital he succeeded in carry ing out his fcndish aim on the wo- man, and later led her into the drug habit. to which she became a victim Since leaving the State hospital as its matron Mrs. Murphy had been following her profession in Phoenix as a nurse, and frequently was called by Dr. Norman in his practice. A week ago she was summoned by telephone to attend an operation and when she had not returned at the ap- pointed hour search was made for her by Mr. Simpson. The office of Dr. Norman was visited, but found locked, when the party went to the residence of the doctor and was as founded to find the woman in the garage. She was under the influence of drugs and liquors and immediately removed to her home, where she soon revived. On regaining her mental faculties she stepped to a trunk and taking out a revolver attempted sui eide by shooting herself in the left breast She will recover, it is be- licved, but is dangerously wounded. Dr. Norman was placed under bond of $500 by Judge Wheeler to appear for trial on a charge of rape.
 This affair while of Statewide con ccrn, from the fact of Dr. Norman having been attached to an Arizona institution as its head, also is of very much local interest. The accused physician made Prescott his home for nearly two years until recently, but did not practice his profession here He followed mining on quite an cx- tensive scale in the Thumb Butte district, where he acquired a group of gold mines on which he spent quite a large sum in development He had resigned as physician to the Ray Con- Solidatcd and stated he had retired from practice. During his residence in Prescott his wife was with him He failed in mining when he returned south short time ago to rc-cntcr his profession, when he received the ap-I pointment as head of the State hos pital, which position he held for a short time only.

Promotion in the Mexican
consular service has come to

a short time for Panama, where
he has been made consul gen.
eral.
Friends of Mr.. Delgado have
known for some time that he
was considering rendering his
resignation from his post to en-
gage in business, and his pro-
motion in the service came as a
surprise. HIS
Reports have been published
that ) charges were preferred
against Mr.. Delgado by the fed
eral authorities. alleging activi-
ties on his part that made him
unacceptable to the United
States officials as consul.
No public statement of the
nature of the charges has been
made, but from the fact that he
has not only been retained in
the service but has been promot-
ed, it is inferred that the charges
were not of a sufficiently seri-
GUS nature to justify his diSmis-
sal from the service.
He will be succeeded in No
gales by Senor Jose Carrie Ter

Quoting Otto Kahn, she de-
clared, Germany is Faust. She
has made a devils bargain with

creature comforts she demands
the surrender of their souls.
Her address follows:
"The club women of Washing
ton state are facing the present
national crisis squarely. They
hope also to play a leading part
in helping non-club women to do
the same.
First of all, they have given
their sons-they recognize that
in doing this they have done a
colossal deed, but that is not
enough. Having given them,
they are resolved to back them
with confidence and smiles. AS
a young soldier said, You may
feel the reserves that are back
of you, then you can attack with
confidence

will hold firm, however hard the
pull, or however long the trial
of endurance may be-"
