ME'SPENOULUN| SWINGS T|PTOP
 INTO LIFE

The old mining camp town of Tip top, is swinging back into scene, which it knew in the long ago, as the white metal leaps over the dollar hur, dle.
 The decayed buildings along the narrow gulch for a mile in leugth arc being brushed up and many are agair being occupied. While the famou. mine of that name as yet has not as sumed its former life of activity, il soon will, according to a statement made yesterday by Frank E. Wager, one of the owners, fall into line. At present the big movement of rcviv- ing the Fl Dorado and the Security, bonanzas of the sos is proceeding energetically by large eastern syndi- cate of Buffalo, N Y., with H. O. Howard on the ground directing onerations. Preliminary operations are centered toward cleaning out old workings and as observations are made these silvers are making good showing. They are on the same belt as tlIc Tiptop, and in early days made fortunes for their owners Within a radius of three miles of the old town are score of lesser rated properties dcvcicring, and shipping to Phoenix for Fl Paso has started.
 Mir Wager states there is now no doui,t but what silver boom is ma turing, and it is quite interesting to see investors and engineers again Hooking into that field Several small deals are being closed, while many pioneers are coming back to grasp at opportunities in securing options and leases. The only drawback is trans pcrtation, which is expensive, but re- ports are in circulation that early construction of the Prescott and Phoenix short line railroad is assured and will solve this vital problem. The survey runs to within six miles oi Tiptop, while several outlying mines will be on this road.

 ATTACKS

By Associated Press
 Germany's armies are hurling themselves against granite wall on three sides of the ruined city of Ypres. After fighting of the most terrific nature the British and French lines are still intact and the enemy has lost terribly in repeated assaults against the lines where the Allies stand at bay.
 The objective of the fighting now going on is the capture of Ypres, where since 1914 the British have held their positions. Two years ago the Allied lines were carried forward and the salient in front of the city wiped out, but from these positions the British retired a week ago to trenches where they stood during the terrific fighting in the spring of 1915 when they stopped the Germans in their first drive for the channel ports.
