SUMMER SINGES

Humidity Scars, With No Re-
lief in Sight.

Celestial stokers. who usually are ac-
tive In the first weelg OF August, got on
the job In earnest yesterday and the
fires OF the sun sent the mercury to the
blazing point of 81, keeping 1t there
more than an hour. beginning at 6
o'clock in the afternoon. which in pre-
war. times was merely 4. 1t was the
next hottest day OF the summer. The
humidity fuctuated between 80 per cent
In the morning to IS. On the sidewalks,
as always In superheated periods, the
spirit thermometers scared tropically to
the maximum OF 9S. The heat, was un-
allayed by ocean or other breezes with
life In them. Gully zephyrs from ardent
centres stirred. II was much hotter IN
many other places than in the metro
politan district some parts OF Iowa
breaking records with 10 in the shade;
also. there were temperatures above 100
in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and Texas.

OF tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

PROMISING OIL WELL BEING

George N. Mclean, city commits sioner and prominent in all the af- fairs of public in Phoenix, was in Flagstaff few days the first of the week. MT. Mclean is secretary and treasurer of the United Chino Oil & Refining Co.,, which has its operating headquarters at Prescott.
 This company controls 1920 acres in the Chino Valley oil fields of Ari- zona, GAO acres in the heart of the Holbrook field, was organized in No vember, 1917, and has been actively operating in the Chino Valley field since early in April, 1918.
 This company is operating under the unique distinction of having com bined with four other companies for the development of one property as a test, and in accordance with the re- quest of the government, it was se- iected as the one to carry on the work to a successful conclusion. It is the first time to our knowledge that such an arrangement has ever been made, but it is undoubtedly the best possible

An Old Weapon Found in Cave.


 This week there has been placed on exhibition in the Miner window a Springfield army rifle of the vintage of 1863. It was found in cavern in the Secret Pass by Frank Wilhelm, and was brought to Kingman by Ed LaFerriere, who is operating a stage line out of town.
 The weapon is one of the first rifles using fixed ammunition and resembles the rifles used in the Spanish-Ameri- can war, and has the same lock action. The stock, which is of walnut, is crecked up into small fragments and fast losing it's resemblance for the use to which it was put. While not badly rusted the lock and breech block are frozen fast, while the barrel shows few signs of wear on the outside. The weapon was found in a cave 1 with many Indian relics and some skeletons, which might indicate that it was the burial place of Mohaves who had met with violent death, as it was the custom in the early days to bury those who were killed, while the others meeting with a natural death were cremated. The cave wherein the relics were found is good sized open ing in the bluffs surrounding Secret Pass.
 It was through this pass that the early travellers journeyed on their way to the coast, and it was through this place that Lieut.. Beale brought his command when reconnoitering the 35th parallel of latitude. The whole country was then overrun with sol diers from Camp Mohave, who were prospecting for gold, and it was these men who finally discovered the old Moss and Leland and Mitchell claims near Oatman. A soldier may have left both his rifle and remains in the cave, but it is more than probable that the relics found there were those of In- dian origin, with the exception of the gun.-Kingman Miner.

A military patrol from Naco, Ari- zont, recaptured Privates McHush, Wilson and Hayden, Tenth cavalry (colored) who escaped from the guard house at Huachuca Thursday night while awaiting transportation to Fort Leavenworth to begin serving sentences of tweny years imposed by a military court.
 Their capture was brought about by an attack on G. w. Atwood, ranch CT. After riding several miles with him in his automobile, they struck him on the head and stunned him, lef' him by the roadside and made off with the car. Atwood was found and the attack reported to the military and civil authorities.

Boundary Being Re-Surveyed.

By order of the state supreme court a new survey is being made of the Maricopa Yuma county boundary line Incidentally, the work entails some thing new in the way of engineering inasmuch as all work is>being done by twilight, says the Gazette.
 The survey is the result of action started by Yuma county in a tax suit in which this county claimed that the Yuma line, as fixed by law, is five miles within the present boundary line of Maricopa county. Points raised in the court action were that Maricopa county has been collecting taxes on these lands which should rightfully go to Yuma county.
 After being litigated through va rious courts for the past several years the case finally reached the supreme court, where the order was given to make new survey and properly fi& the boundary monuments as specified in the law.
 J. s. Barlow, engineer in charge of the work, has taken a departure from the customary engineering practices in this work and instead of running his lines from peaks to peaks, works from the valley up to the peaks.
 Before running his lines he estab- lished his monument in the valley and then proceeds to fix his lines on the peaks surrounding.
 Because of the excessive heat and inability to signal properly during the day all work is being done at night. Acetylene lights are used for signal ing purposes and the result has been found much more satisfactory, it is

allies apparently have Irepulsed.

The Teutonic allies apparently have lost their spirit of do-or-die.. Their at lacks everywhere lately have lacked the tenaciousness of days gone by.
 Instead of ploughing through allied lines with stubborn indifference to cas- ualties so long as an objective was attained, they now waver and then halt in the face of the artillery and rifle fire of the men barring their way, and with the points they were trying to gain still far beyond their reach.
 The Austrian offensive in the Itali- an theatre is still in progress along the Piave river but in the mountain re- zion after the sharp reaction by the Italian, British and French troops, who in counters attacks pushed back the in- vader from the points he had reach ed in his initial rush, the enemy evil dently is fearful of again trying out the mettle of the defenders.
 On the Piave numerous attempts have been made by the Austrians to gain further bridgeheads on the west ern bank of the stream, but the Itali- ans everywhere are holding them with their gunf1re and also doing sanguin- ary execution within the ranks of the enemy across the river with bombs and machine gun fire.
 The Austrian war office asserts that the Austro-Hungarian troops have crossed the Fossetta Canal at some points where Tuesday it was claimed they had made advances and also that several Italian lines at the southern foot of the Montello plateau, the key to the Venetian plains, have been pierced Rome, on the other hand declares that all the weak attempts in the Montello region were completely
