That this district will in the future
develop some of the greatest mines in
Arizona and in fact, in the entire
world, is the prediction of Charles H.
Barney, president of Whitney, King &
Barney, prominent Boston brokers,
who has just completed visit of in
spection to the properties of the Troy
Arizona and Gila Development Com
panies, in which he is actively in
terested.
"This great mineralized belt, ex-
tending from west of Superior to
Christmas, will give to Arizona the
great mines of her future" said Mr..
Barney before leaving for Boston,
"and when you talk about the great
est mines in Arizona you are also talk
ing of the greatest mines in America
and that means in the world"
Mr. Barney, who has been actively
interested in the financing and opera
ton of the Troy-Arizona company for
the last twenty years, found develop
ment operations at that property high
ly satisfactory. At the Climax mine,
conditions are very encouraging and
Mr. Barney stated that he hoped in
the near future to be able to make an
announcement of the utmost import
ance. 1t is here that prosecuting is
taking place on the 500-foot level,
with strong indications that large
ore-body will be entered at an early
date. The cross-cut has progressed
to such point that a strong flow of
water, highly mineralized, has been
struck, and machinery to handle this
flow is now being installed. A pump
| ing plant, including a Cameron pump,
is to be placed in operation.
eff we had known fifteen or twenty
years ago what we know now" said
Mr. Barney, eve would probably have
the shaft down 1900 or 1000 feet, and
would now be producing copper. AS
it is, we intend to open up that hill
most thoroughly, and l am confident
that our fullest expectations will be
realized"

opment Company, in which Mr.. Bar

LECTURE
BY BEN SCOVELL IS
APPRECIATED HERE

A most stirring and gripping lee
ture, dealing with war conditions
"Over There" was delivered to enthu-
siastic Rayites last Tuesday evening
at the Airdome by Ben Scovell, re-
nowned orator, who has been under
fire.
The horrible brutalities of the Hun,
our slackers, the Liberty Loan, Red
were handled by Mr. Scovell in such
tense magnetic manner that his audi
ence was held spellbound throughout
the lecture.
Judge E. w. French introduced
EBrother Ben," who is an Englishman
by birth, but who has been an Ameri-
can citizen for many years. At the
outbreak of the war Brother Ben"
was a teacher of elocution and of the
dramatic art in Los Angeles. He is a
graduate of Colorado college and took
a postgraduate course at Harvard.
Brother Ben was severely
wounded in the Boer war, and when
the present war broke out, the old
fighting spirit moved him to leave his
wife and two children and go to To-
ronto, where an old pal was examining
physician. Although Brother Ben"
was then AZ years old, he endeavored
to pass the examination. His expert
ence with the examining surgeon was
interestingly told. He described how
he was told that he should have been
dead for the past ten years." and the
resentment that came over him when
he was presented with an A. R. button
kapplied, but rejected.
He was fortunate enough to obtain
dred wounded Tommies the day he
arrived in Toronto. He told the pa
thetic story of seeing the work of the
atrocious Hun-maimed, blinded men
and Red Cross nurses.
Brother Ben" was vehement in his
denial of the malicious lie that Y. M.
C. A. secretaries receive stupendous
sums for their labors. According to
his own statement, the munificent
Nhonorarium of SIS per week was his
salary while lecturing in Canada. He
was fortunate enough to receive a
''raise" to about $21 a week lover
there" Brother Ben" was par
ticular to point out-he got it.
Terrible tales of atrocious brutali-
ties, almost inconceivable, greeted the
ears of his audience. Stories of out
rAged Belgian girls, the manning of
defenseless soldiers and babies, the
rape of the female inmates of blind
asylum, the crucifixion of officers
Zone of them his own brother), the
sinking of hospital ships and countless
other demonstrations of Hun kultur
were recounted by Brother Ben"
Stress was laid on the American
foreign legion and it's bravery in the
field of action. Personal "reminiscences
of his meetings were so gripping that
the enthralled audience was moved to
highest enthusiasm.
Brother Benz brought home to his
audience the urgent need for men,
more men, and still more men, and
the fact that we are not doing our
bit" Lackadaisical effort to help
the Red Cross is not Sufficient. Spo-

The victory, like everything worth

self-denial, ungrudging effort.

on at our command. And not the least
of these is money. Never in the his

of, to make the world safe for democ-
racy
Brother Ben" was successful in
demonstrating to Ray its need for con-
certed, speedy, result-producing ac-
ton. A good many local residents be-
came convinced that the purchase of
$50 Liberty Bond does not consti-
tute patriotism, nor does the taking
out of exemptions make mans chest
swell with pride at the thought that
he is doing everything he can do.

man, was murdered. are search.
ing for n mysterious party OF
two men and two women. who
attended a dance with Laubnor
at Clear Lake Saturday night.
and were last with him at
o'clock Sunday morning. a few
hours previous TO his death.
Every indication leads to the con
clusion of murder. the detectives say.
A study OF the dead mans condi'
ton revealed several important
facts. one of these Is that, while
the front OF Laubnor's coat was GOV.
cred with blood. there In no blood on
hts sleeves. Another Is that the pen.
knife was loose In his grasp. his
hand scarcely being closed over IL.
At the Clear Lake dance. Laubnor
paid for the tickets for the party
with n $50 bill which he extracted
from a huge roll. according to Miss
Emma Van Valanburg. who was
ticket seller on the occasion. This
money, from 800 TO $1,000. was
