The market for soldiers and sailors
varies, as does any other market, but
the Mayors recruiting committee al
ways has the latest information from
the Navy and War departments as to
the need for men. General recruiting

but he was taken as a "stunt doer," tc
stimulate recruiting. Three ex-convicts
appeared after the recent decision re
Charles Francis Phillips. They wanted
to enlist to serve their country as long
as former fractures of their country's
law did not prevent. They were told tc
write to the proper authorities al

But all these have been war enthu

heartbroken when they couldn't. The
Mayors recruiting committee has hac
other callers of an entirely different

One came calling the other day. He
was headed straight toward beinf

coast. His powers Of persuasion were
not sufficient to induce Corporal Heal,
to make use of his mechanical ability
however, and the bright young sales
man was instead treated to a good dose
Of counsel about his duty as a patriotic
citizen. 1t was kind but stern talk
and the young man nodded slowly as
he listened and finally decided to "let
'em take him" when the draft came.
One Of the habits of Mr.. Cochem's
agents is that of kindliness. They
have made an extremely human affai,

treated like real person. Sometimes

FLux GETS NEW MACHINERY

New machinery for the Flux mine is arriving. Already two large engines have been unload ed from the cars preparatory to removal to the mine, and more machinery is on the way. Mir. Fred. Kollberg and associates, who have taken over the prop- erty on a bond and lease, are going to work with the deter imitation to make a paying mine of this extensive property, which has thousands of tons of ore blocked oot.
 The Flux mine, at one time called the Goshen mine, is f miles south of Patagonia and two and half miles from the railroad. about mile within the mountains from their north edge, in the head of F'lux Gulch. It is reached by good wagon road of easy grade.
 It was worked about 1882, and several thousand tons of ore was shipped to the Benson smelt- CT. Later it was taken up by Col. R. R. Richardson and part ners under the present location title, which dates from January, 1897. During that year it pro- duced nearly 1000 tons of ore. Still later, through purchase, the title passed to Colonel Rich ardson, who has just given a bond and lease to Bisbee capi- taliStS.
 The mine is developed by more than 5000 feet of work. The work consists mainly of tunnels, shafts, drifts, crosscuts, and stopes, and is distributed on four levels, 70, 100, 125 and 26O feet below the surface. -Patagonian

ADDING TO THE FOOD SUPPLY

An important work taken up by the Maricopa County Council of Defense, is the planting this summer to milo maize of every possible acre, including about f 4,OOO acres of land that is new or without winter crop. It is appreciated that the wheat crop of Arizona will not be sufficient to even feed the population of the state.
 Milo will fill in the gap very nicely, maturing in the fall, tho some of the acreage may be planted at once, maturing that much earlier. Where water for irrigation is availa ble, it is urged that milo be planted on every available plot, for hay and feed will be short next winter, while milo flour has been demonstrated to be excellent.

The Cochise county road bond issue of S1,OOO,OOO has been ap- proved by the Capital Issue Com mmittee in Washington and the bonds can now be issued and sold with the approval of the United States government. This is indeed a victory for the coun. ty as the government, through this committee, has turned down a number of bond issues through out the United States in the past few months.

FRANK POWERS BANK
Famous Old Silver Bonanza Sold to
 Eastern Capitalists.

Eastern Capitalists.
 The Worlds Fair mine, in Alum Gulch, near Harshaw, has changed hands, and the mine says the Santa Cruz Patagonian.
 This is good news for Patago- nia, as the Worlds Fair is one of the richest silver properties in the district, and Mir. Frank Powers, who has owned the mine for many years, has not been doing the amount of work that the rich property warrant ed. As MT. Frank Powers ex- plained Wednesday, he did not have the capital necessary to carry on the work on the scale that it should be done, and company can do the property justice.
 The parties purchasing the mine are from the east. MT. A. A. Holland, an expert metallur- gist, is in charge of the work of sampling the ore, and MT. Smith is in charge of the devel- opment work. Mir. Holland, when seen Wednesday was not ready to give the details of the sale, but said at later date he would give the public all the in- formation that was to be given out.
 At this time it might be we'll to give short history of the Worlds Fair mine, which has been known for its high grade silver ore for many years.
 The Worlds Fair is near the center of the western part of the Harshaw district, two miles west of HarShaw, on Alum Gulch, at an elevation of about 1880 feet. named McNamee. who shipped considerable quantity of ore from it and is said to have abandoned it in 1881. In 1883 Wm. Moran relocated the property and in 1884 sold it to Frank Powers for S1OO. MT. Powers is reported to have soon shipped a few car loads of ore of 50 tons each, which brought from $8OOO to $25, ,OOO car, and by 1903 it was said that $6OO,OOO worth of ore had been blocked out in the mine ready to ship. Since it's acquisition by Mir. Powers it has been worked at intervals only, but has always produced con- siderable rich ore, which was mined or milled and shipped as desired. In 1907, for instance, the production was $74, ,21O worth of ore, in lead, copper, gold and silver. During the year 1910 the production was S42, ,730.8 In 1912 shipment of few car loads, mostly very rich ore, is reported to have been made to the Selby smelter in California. Early in August, 1914, the mine was said to be shipping two car loads of rich ore week to Douglas.
 The property comprises a group of eight claims and is re- ported to have produced more than S1 100000, of which over $500, 1000 was in high grade ore. | The mine contains about 15, 900 feet of drifts, tunnels, stopes, shafts, and winzeS.
 The new owners are welcome to the district, and the Worlds Fair mine, already famous as a producer, bids fair to become still more so, if the intentions of the present owners are carried to completion. It is understood that a mill and all necessary machinery and men will be used to make the mine a big pro- ducer. A good road, with easy 1 grades, is to be constructed to make freighting easy.
