DOLPHIN SWINGS FROM COLD ID
 SILVER
STRANGE MINERAL SITUA- TON ARISES AS THE WHITE METAL CROWDS OUT THE YELLOW IN OLD MINE.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Development at the Dolphin near Poland which has been under way for a few months, has been attended with a big surprise in mineral deter minations, and from being classed in the gold column 1t has now advanced into a silver rating solely. The latter mineral Is predominating in the deeper workings of 125-foot shaft, and in drifting a well defined ore body of four feet in width has been opened at different points on this level.
 This surprising news was given publicity by General Manager Frank Ritzel, a visitor to the city yestcr- day on business, who stated that as says gave average values of S20 in silver to the ton. In the upper work ings and in prospect cuts on the sur face gold was the principal content, and 1t was due to the belief of orig inal operators of the Dolphin that gold would be the main metal that mill was erected to treat only that character of a content. Accordingly reduction plans are to remain at q standstill until mineral conditions are permanently proven by further exploration being gwen Tn the zone now being operated. It seems to be the impression of many well informed mining men of that region that the close proximity of the Dolphin to the silver fields of Turkey creek is re- sponsible for this change occurring, and from indications in evidence at present in lower workings the Dol phin IS nothing more than counter part of the Assure which cuts through that region for many miles, and wherever explored along Turkey creek carries only silver content.
 It is reasonable to presume that the Dolphin's future will prove this theory as correct Mir. Ritzel is now better pleased with the property than heretofore, stating that a huge ton naee is assured in production. He Is expecting a visit from the presi- dent of the company who resides at Evansville, Ind.

STAGE ALL SET FOR OPENING
 OF POST
COLONEL LEWIS GOES TO
 COAST AFTER MAKING INSPECTION OF WHIPPLE AND RENDERING REPORT TO SURGEON GENERAL.
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Colonel W. r. Lewis, who has been in the city for the past few days pro- curing information relative to the opening of the barracks at Fort Whip pie, departed yesterday afternoon for Los Angeles. Col. Lewis IS now one of the most enthusiastic boosters which Prescott has, having been most favorably impressed by the climatic conditions and the general makeup of this section and its residents.
 Nhipplc barracks, according to the army officer, will constitute one of the most satisfactory hospital sites of which the war department can boast, the high altitude, the freedom from excessive rainfall and the water sup ply all combining 10 render Prescott one of the most favored spots in the United States for the treatment of the disease of the type which the big hospital is being built to handle. Col. Lewis made an examination of the records for more than 20 years back in an effort to get the annual precipi- tation. and stated that the average rainfall hcreabouts will not exceed v inches, as against 40 inches annually at -Asheville, \. C., the city in which the government is now establishing its eastern tubercular hospital.
 There will be about 70 large build ings erected on the fort grounds, the structures to be frame and all to have a southern exposure. They will be built in all directions from the group of buildings which now constitutes the post, 1t being the intention to utilize most of the acreage contained in the l60-acre tract which comprises the military reservation. The build ings will be of a permanent type, much more substantial than those now being erected in the military cantonmcnts. and of Q class which will look to the comfort and convcn- fence of the unfortunatcs who will be quartcrcd therein.
 Major Holmberg, post command ant, yesterday announced that he had received authority to make whatever purchases were necessary for the tenn porary provisioning Of the post, and will therefore be enabled to take care of the party of 56 soldiers and at tendants which is expected here within the next few days. This per mission was necessary to enable the men to get along until such time as the supply shipments arrive and the big commissary is opened at the post.
 Santa Fc officials recently made an inspection of the trackagc facilities at the fort and found everything in readiness to begin shipping freight and passenger cars right up to the back doors Of the buildings which now make up the post. A huge amount of freight will begin arriving soon and the fact that the Santa Fe can shunt the loaded cars into the military reservation will eliminate much labor and delay in the matter of unloading Major Holmberg has put in acquisitions for two large motor trucks and one of the old-timc mule train outfits, these convcyanccs to be used for transporting pur- chases made locally ont to the post grounds.

Germany was declared, arrived few days ago from Camp Kearny, Calf, after serving his country nine months in the rear rank as high private.
 His military career IS without a parallel, and his honorable discharge is due to circumstances over which he had no recourse, but over which, he nevertheless, expresses deep re- gret. He enlisted first with the Ari- zona national guard and served for some months on the Mexican border, the regiment being transferred later to Kearny and merged finally into the regular army as the l5Sth. Jacobs continued to shoulder a gun, walked his beat as a guard, saluted according to orders, in fact won favor from officers for his alertness on duty and his peppcry action as a soldier. Dur ing all these long nine months lac obs was an ideal soldier in every post to which he was assigned and he was frequently referred to as a model in khaki for others to emulate. As time drifted by he thought he had a cinch on hitting the trail for an Atlantic troop ship, but retreat was sounded one fine afternoon at Kearny a short time ago and he was lined up for final inspection to go over the top. He couldn't cut the mustard with a regular army officer, although he had made good with the national guard regime Jacobs had two "specifica- tions' facing him and he couldn't make good in baking either. The first was his age, which was dis covered in some manner not known. He is going into his 45th year at d swift pace these days, although from T facial viewpoint he has the appear ance of a youth Of 5. But this was not serious, although it is important in rigid rules of physical requirements wherein age is the basis for sizing up the vigor of military subject. The crash came to Jacobs and he was crushed flat when the big army of ficer looked at the dimunitive Has sayampcr and got just one glance at his hands. The fingers of both were shy, about half in size of the normal, so the jig was up and there was no appeal This defect was due to nature, so Short Fingered Billy comes back to Prescott to resume his vocation as q teamstcr and henceforth will handle the ribbons instead of a rifle for Uncle Sam. But he's pretty warm over being found out, but con solcs himself by saying that he did his bit to help win the war.

EQUINE HELPS TO SWELL
 FUNDS OF HUMBOLDT R. C.

HUMBOLDT, May 15.-To "Old Dolly" the comedy, white saddle marc, formerly owned by Mrs. r. H. Whitney, is largely due the credit for the successful opening Monday night of the Red Cross drive for war funds in Humboldt, at the dance given in the shelter city by the local branch of the Red Cross. She en- richcd the treasury of the organiza- ton to the amount of more than SlO0 at the raffle held during the dance and, not content with that record, presented the delighted committee with coal black colt the next morn ing.
 This unique contribution to the funds of the Red Cross, committee members state, will be carefully raised to be a warriors horse Opinion is divided, however, as to whether he will be immediately presented as a gift to General Pcrshing somewhere in France, or whether he will be re- tained for some future Yavapai county warrior to ride in the triumphal en- try into Berlin.
 According to the observations of neighbors, the plans that resulted in the rafflc Monday night have been maturing for two weeks. That the idea was gradually shaping itself in the mind of the intelligent animal is evidenced by the fact that she was seen to stand motionlcss for hours Tn an obviously thoughtful mood, quite oblivious to the friendly ovcrtures of the wandering burros with whom she was wont to frolic.
 The net result of her cogitations was that nearly POO tickets on the mare were sold for the raffle at Sl.OO each. E. (. Brown was the holder Of the lucky ticket that drew the pa triotic animal. By unanimous con sent of the committee Dolly will be enrolled as honorary member of the Humboldt Red Cross with the privi- legc of displaying service flag bear ing a single star.
 That the residents of Humboldt and vicinity will come through strong in support of the boys in khaki lover there" was indicated by the record breaking attendance at the dance. Proceeds of the rafflc, ticket sales, and lunches amounted to over S3OO. Officers of the Rcd Cross predict that Humboldt will exceed the record made last year, when more than twice the amount allotted to the local branch was raised and forwarded to the central body.
 The music was furnished by the Clarkdale orchestra. The expense was to have been borne by the Rcd Cross but during the progress of the dance enough money was raised by private subscription to more than meet ii, whcreupon the leader of the orchestra decided to go Humboldt one better, and after dcducting the actual expense incurred on the trip, turned over the balance to the Red Cross treasurer.

 The wrecking crew which bounced upon the old jail building yesterday morning did not hesitate to efface the decorations while cutting the old cell work to pieces, however, and much of the artistic efforts of the prisoners was destroyed when the wreckers hacked up the walls and doors with their chisels and blow-torches. The cells are to be shipped to the factory for alteration, and with them will pass away one of the largest collec- tions of the evidences of the artistic talent of jail inmates to be found any where.

into northwestern Texas. In l847, after two years, he managed to es- cape and came westward toward Cali fornia In the spring of 1859 he was at La Paz at the Colorado river, where he joined force of 60 volun- teers under Colonel Mclean in an expedition against the Indians. Most of his service was in the Rio Grande valley around old Fort Mimbres. where his knowledge of Indian char acter and languages soon gave him distinction as scout.
 On one occasion, it is told that while scouting some distance ahead of a military column, he discovered band of Indians besieging a valley ranch house. From ambush he shot down g of the Indians before they discovered his whereabouts and charged toward him. He then dropped into the Rio Grande river and, for a day, hid himself under bushes in water hole. Then he made his way to the camp of the sol dicrs, whom he led in their attack upon the Indians, who were found drunk and dancing and who were all most annihilated.
 Later he went to Mexico, carrying an honorable discharge from the American service. After he came to Arizona he served on a number of occasions, as scout with General Crook.
 He was a man of very independent character. When Representative Mark Smith advised him he was en- titled to a pension for his services, Salcido merely observed, "The gov crnment does not owe me anything; it paid me in full for everything l did"

LOCAL BOYS REMOVED

 Dear Sir:
 The boys of the contingent which left Prescott on Friday, May 10th have asked me to express for them their appreciation of the treatment accorded them by the citizens, espec- ially tho soldiers and sailors wei fare committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and the cd Cross. Many of the boys commented on the com plctcnoss of their comfort kits, and needless to say, we all enjoyed the bauquct at the Yavapai club and the entertainment at the Elks theatre. am glad to voice such sincere ap- preciation as that indicated by the men who have come with me.
 Many things have happened since we arrived in camp last Sunday morning, and the completeness of our change from civilians to soldiers Is so great as to cause us to pass by our comrades without recognizing them. Most of the members of our party have been accepted physically and are leaving today for Camp Ere mort, where they will train. Some of us, however, have been held hero for special duty and assignment. Those who are miners or mule pack CTS will likely be shipped to France in the near future. What particular assignment l am being held for 1 do not know nor do 1 care. Everybody is well and happy.
 Sincerely yours,

PRISONERS DON'T THINK
 MUCH OF THE NEW JAIL
(From Fridays Daily.)

Wouldn't ii make you mad If you had gone to a lot of time and trou- ble and incidentally spent a big bunch of dollars fixing up q nice, clean, brand-ncw county jail and then after having moved a number of prisoners into the place. found that they didn' | appreciate your efforts and didn't like the new jail little bit:
 Well, that's just the fix Eavapal county IS in.
 The 50 odd men now locked mp in the new booby hatch on the top floor of the county building arc bechng considerably because of the fact that the new hoosc gow isn't half as com fortable aS the old brick one was. They say the place Is too dark to be nice and also that on account of the close proximity Of the kitchen. they are troubled all day long with the odor which arises from the cooking of kidney stew, creamcd carrots, corned beet and cabbage and other dclicacies which constitute the daily menu at the county lookup. The in mates also state that the view from the iaii windows isn't anything to brag about because the place is so high in the air that about the only thing visible iS the roof of the Pio- neers' Home which is situated on an adjacent hilltop. Not only that, but the interior oi the cells isn't nearly so artistic as was the interior of the old tank
 For many years. the men confined in the old Jail had spent their time papering the insidcs of the cells with lurid and sensational pictures taken from a certain pink sporting weekly, and the Autographed likcncsscs oi Jack Johnson, Jess Willard, Mary Pickford. JoSephus Daniels, Henry Ford and other head liners are to be found iu proiusiou on the cold stcci walls of thc bopby hatch Of other days. The pla>tcrod parts of the walls also contained the autograph, of many oi the men who had done lime in the jail and list oi the names would reveal lic fact that biz bunch of well known criminals have done their bit in inc Navapai institution. The ncr jail, however, contains no rl9stered walls for the prisoneTs to leave their pcdigrccs upon and tine boys will have to Dc content with

SIMPLY PLACE OF DESOLATION
Little for the Traveller to Enthuse Over
When He Visits the Old City
of Jerusalem.

The allies advance in Palestine has
taken them through Jerusalem and the
little village Of Jericho. The plain Of
Jericho, the scene of so many historic
incidents in the past, Is once again
caught in the old glare of the spot
light. Such a light reveals too plainly
the hopeless poverty of the people, the
cracks and holes in the rough wallis Of
the novels, the fields and gardens, fai.
len by neglect into a riot of weeds and
wild flowers growing rank.
It is better to look at Jericho at SUM-
set, and not too critically even then. In
a soft light the wretchedness Of the
matched huts is less insistent, the jas
mine and oleanders seem sweeter and
the ragged Bedouins acquire pictur-
esqueness in spite Of dirt and squalor.
It is only a short walk through the
plain from this Jericho of the present
to the two other sites which have
borne the same name. One, the Jericho
of Old Testament, destroyed by Joshua,
is only memory, it's reality proved by
bits of unearthed walls and pottery.
The third Jericho of the triangle is the
Jericho Of the New Testament, the city
Of palm trees which Antony bestowed
upon Cleopatra and which she later
sold to Herod the Great. Made gor-
geous in the reign of Herod as city
Of palaces, 1t is now only wreck of
stones and battered towers. The palms
for which it was famous are gone, with
the palaces and circus which they
shaded. The plain of Jericho. is will
derness, bound to civilization by it's
many highways and its tiny village. A
few miles to the southwest lies Jeru-
salem, connected with the village by
the robber-infested road along which
the good Samaritan travelled. All about
the plain rise the cliffs, mounted by
steep and winding trails. 1t is not an
attractive region, but even if it were
more wild and desolate than it is it
would still be much visited, for at
every step are landmarks Of history.
