JUAN ACEVEDO,
HANDY WITH PEN,
HELD FOR FORGERY

Juan Acevedo, resident of Sonora,
purchased a bill of goods from Chas.
Karp of the Boston store the day be-
fore New Years, amounting to $15.45.
In payment Acevedo rendered check
for $45.75 drawn in favor of p Garcia
by the Ray Con. mill at Hayden. Ace
vedo forged Garcia's name when en-
dorsing the check and secured the
change from Mr.. Karp.
Karp had known brother of Ace
vedo's and asked his customer if his
name was not Acevedo, but this he
denied, saying that his name was Gar
cia, But not being fully satisfied,
Karp presented the check at the bank,
where helearned that his suspicious
were well grounded.
With Constable Lewis, Karp went
directly to Sonora, where Acevedo was
soon apprehended. Attorney Richard
son was up Tuesday, at which time
Acevedo waived examination and was
bound over to the Superior court un-
der $500 bond. Acevedo was taken to
Florence Wednesday, having failed to
furnish bond.

Second Shipment
Nearly Dep1etes
Tobacco Fund

Another lot of tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes, was forwarded Tuesday to
the Ray boys who have gone to the
training camps. This is the second
shipment of smokes, which it is
make monthly, and for which purpose
the Soldiers Tobacco fund was Gre
ated.
Ray men, women and children re-
sponded heartily when the call was
made some time ago for contributions
and subscriptions to this fund, but;
owing to the fact that two shipments
of tobacco and the many kits and other
remembrances have been sent to the
boys, it is nearly depleted, and it be-
hooves everyone to not forget to drop
something in the boxes provided for
that purpose in either bank or the

WIDOW Of BECK
GRATEFUL FOR
INTEREST SHOWN

County Attorney Richardson says
that it is not very often that public
official ever receives any thanks or
recognition after the successful per-
Torrance of a public duty. The fol-
lowing letter, however, just received
by him from the widow of L. E. Beck
is source of unexpected pleasure,
and "Rich" feels amply rewarded in
consequence:

County Attorney Richardson,
Florence, Arizona.
My Dear Mr. Richardson:
I have just received a notice that
you were the states representative in
the case of B. Mandich. who killed my
husband in Ray the 7th of last July,
deepest gratitude for the stand you
took in the case. I have been the
sufferer for that cruel. fiendish crime,
and have not yet recovered from the
mental shock of the blow.
l see notice of appeal to the SUI
preme court was given. I pray no
lighter sentence will ever be given
that man.
Thanking you, 1 remain, most CRATE
fully yours,

LEASING POLICY
OF RAY CON IS
AID TO OUTPUT

The policy of the Ray Consolidated
Copper Co. in extending the privilege
of leasing to miners on favorable por-
tons of it's property in the district
which are not under direct develop
ment and mining by the company, re-
suits in production by the leasers Of
upwards of half million pounds of
copper each month: according to a
bulletin of the Arizona chapter, Amer
lean Mining Congress. Like policy is
followed in the Globe district and in
some other copper mining districts of
the state, with equally good results
in increasing production and in en-
ablihg higher earnings for men who
are competent to take over the
handling of mining operations.
Growth of tendency to encourage
leasing is considered one of the i'm
portant developments of the last year,
both because of increased metal out
put which results and because of
broadened opportunity for usefulness
and profit on the part of the individual.
Like movement has occurred in Mon
tana. 1t supersedes prejudice former
ly entertained by owners of large min
ing properties against leasing because
of inference which w@s presumed to
attend that the property was nearing
depletion or otherwise the owners
would find it worth while to do the
work themselves.

ROADS FOR MINES
is NEW BULLETIN

One of the most important consid-
erations in the opening up of new
mining districts is the matter of
transportation, particularly with re-
spect to wagon roads. Many good
properties have been turned down and
many more have been worked at a
loss because of the poor condition of
the roads leading to them.
Cheapness of transportation is of
vital Importance and there is no ques-
ton but that good roads are cheaper
The wear and tear on equipment is
much less, and larger loads can be
hauled over good roads in a shorter
time Improvement of one road in
this state, made is possible to haul
six times as much in load in
shorter time with the same power
than was possible before the road was
improved. From this it will be cas-
lily seen that for each ton Of freight
reduced.
Machinery and other breakable
supplies will arrive unbroken over a
good road, where it would be next to
impossible to transport them were the
roads in poor condition. Likewise,
it is possible to transport large cast
ings and machines assembled where
otherwise it could not be attempted.
These and many other considera-
tions are taken up in detail in Bulle.

MEN AND WOMEN
OF RAY THANKED
BY WHITEHEAD

Camp Hancock, Ca, Jan. 6, 1918.
TO the Men and Women of Ray:
1t has taken me quite while to
write an acknowledgement of the
good things I received from you. I'll
not give any excuses other than to
say that I have been on the move
pretty much.
I received the comfort kit" and to-
bacco o. K. I can't tell you in how
many ways I appreciate them, espe-
cially the comfort kit I don't know
how ever got along without it. 1t
is a necessity with me now and hard
ly day goes by that I don't have use
for it. And it is surely going across
with me-
The tobacco sure reached me at an
opportune time. The remnant, (25
mem of Co. 40, the others being sent
to Linda Vista and Camp Pike, was
in quarantine for measles, when my
tobacco arrived. We we're nearly out,
as we had very little chance to re-
plenish our tobacco supply. I was
sure some popular while my package
lasted. I went $3.50 with the fellows.
Now am down here away from my
pals in Co. 40, where I have to make
new friends. But even though. I
make new ones, the memory of the
old friends and the feeling for them
will never diminish And while 1 am
out learning new stunts and tramping
over new ground, to me the little town
of Ray looms ever present in my
thoughts and 1 often wish l were back
there where I could see the old famil-
lar faces and ramble the hills again.
With many, many thanks for your
thoughtfulness of my needs, 1 remain,

TWO P|NCHED IN
FUTILE ATTEMPT
TO ALLAY THIRST

Gus A. Larson and Karl Ohlson en-
deavored to smuggle in some booze
last week, but failed. They had been
to the coast on trip, and when Off

their suit cases held only wearing ap-
parel or not Investigation substanti-
ated his suspicious as four quarts of
Canadian Club whiskey were found in
Larson's suitcase, besides half bot
tie in his pocket, and Ohlson had four
quarts of the same brand, one quart
of Silver Shell and pint of Old Her

Both men were held. for examina-
ton under $500 bond each, which they
waived at the preliminary hearing on
Tuesday and were bound over to the

MEATLESS MEANS
PORKLESS UNTIL
IDES OF MARCH

PHOENIX, Jan. 1S.-Veal, beef,
lamb and mutton. From now until
March 1S these meats may be served
with every meal on every day whether
"meatless" or otherwise.
Under the new ruling of the fed
eral food administration the term
"meatless" has been made to mean
''porkless" for Arizonans, and until
March 13.
All this is explained in "a telegram
received by Timothy A. Riordan, fed
eral food administrator for Arizona,
from Herbert Hoover, which reads as
follows:
'Washington-In view of animal
situation in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, California, Nevada and Arizona,
due principally to transportation, as
discussed in detail at recent confer
ence of administrators here, we have
reached the decision that states men,
toned may remove restrictions until
March 13 on eating of beef, mutton,
lamb and veal on meatless days and
with meatless meals.
"The new conservation program
designates porkless Tuesday and Sat
urday, together with one porkless
meal each day. In other words, beef,
mutton, lamb and veal will be per-
mitted, but no pork, bacon, ham or
lard should be eaten on porkless days
or with porkless meals in the states
entioned, which we wish adhered
to closely. Hoover"
The official explanation of this ac-
tion is that both cattle and sheep
raisers were faced with the situation
of general drought conditions on the
one hand, and the lack of transporta-
tion facilities on the other. The stock
had to be marketed at once or perish,
and this was the situation as pre-
sented by stockmen at the recent con-
ference. By lifting the ban on the
four meats in question, a local de-
mand in the western states affected
is thereby created, and thus the situa-
ton, which was fast becoming criti-
cal, is to be remedied, it is hoped.

Failure to indicate their willingness
to enter the project may result in the
