(From Saturdays Daily)

Fifteen hundred training rifles which had been ordered for distribu- ton among the school cadet corps Of the State have at last been shipped according to telegram received yes terday from the New Jersey fac tory by Colonel Charles w. Harris, adjutant general It IS expected that they will arrive at Phoenix in about four weeks.
 The delivery of the rifles has been delayed for the past sixty days be- cause of the embargo on freight shipments. The matter was taken up with Carl Hayden, Arizona represen- tative at Washington, who secured a permit from Captain Neil Bailey of Prescott at present captain quar- termaster corps with the inland transportation department of the war department.
 The training rifles cost about S each and in weight, size, balance and general appearance are the same as the Springfield 30-30 regulation rife. They have the new web sling, but have no bayonet. The rifles can be used for all drills except range prac- ticc, as the barrel is dummy and cannot shoot.
 Previous to the distribution Of the training rifles, the cadet corps will be inspected by Captain Oscar F. Temple, captain quartermaster of the Arizona reserve battalion. The rifles will be issued as follows Flagstaff normal, 60; Phoenix high, 325; Tucson high. l20; Yuma high, co; Bisbee high. 70; DouglHS high. 100; Prescott high, 50; Winslow high, 50; Mesa high, 100; Globe high, 70; Glendale high. 4.

ARGENTA LOOKS LIKE
 COMING BIG MOVE
From Saturdays Dsily)

What Is said by miners from lur- key creek district to be coming big property is the Argenta, owned by Messrs. Bessette, Thompson, Coombs and Garrison. It has been under development for a short time only, and while surface indications showed a strong vein, it was not until short time ago that its magnitude was ap- preciatcd. Recent development has exposed a four-foot vein of solid sul- phidcs, carrying high grade silver values, with gold and copper as by products. Yesterday there was cx- hibitcd in the city large lot Of sam- ples from the point where the vein is strong, which attracted very much comment of favorable nature.
 It has only been short time since these mining men gave publicity to their operations, and their silence was due to the fact that as they arc work ing as firm, and without having an organization, their. interests were guarded with secrecy. The Argcnta is not d corporation, but IS m the hands of practical mining people who arc working solely on an individual basis, not caring whether any pub licity is given their interests. How ever, Mir. Bcsscttc stated yesterday the property is beginning to attract attention of miners, and for this req son he desires to substantiatc reports in circulation accordingly, saying; The mine is making a fine showing, much better than was anticipated; the shoot we arc now in is regular and 1t is well defined also: must admit conditions arc dccidely gratifying, and our plan is to reach greater depth: the orc samples speak for themselves, and assays arc now being made

 ONLY FIFTEEN MEN

PHOENIX, March 15.-The date set for the movement of the first i'm crcment of troops on the second draft from Arizona has not yet been set. The earliest possible date would be March 2o and the latest April ?.
 Col. Harris has completed the list of numbers of men to be sent to Camp Funston from the several counties of the State, making total of IS men from Arizona.
 The colonel says he fears that thrce-tcnths of man would not be acceptable to the army surgeon.
 The official figures given out by Col Harris showing the number of men to be sent to camp from the various counties are as follows: Apache s, Cochise 26, Coconino 5, Gila, 2O, Graham 5, Grecnlee l3, Mari copa ?, Mohavc ;, Navajo 4, Pima l3, Pinal II, Santa Cruz 4, Yavapai Is, and Yuma ;.
 No county is allowed credit on this call for extra men already sent in the service, the matter of credits being deferred until later call.

GIVE SAFE OVERDOSE
 OF SOUP"

HOT SPRINGS JUNCTION, March l6.-When yeggmen at tempted to blow the safe in the Santa Fe railroad office at Hot Springs Junction early this morning. they fed the steel box an overdose" of ex- plosives, with disastrous results to their motives.
 The safe was completely demol' ished as result of the concussion, and, likewise. the contents were blown throughout the station. Frag- ments of currency and documents were scattered to the four winds.
 Several hundred dollars in money, in addition to hundreds of dollars worth of thrift stamps and baby bonds, were contained in the safe. according to the announcemcnt at the sheriff's office this morning Heavy damages were sustained by the railroad company because of the loss of currency and government stamps. which were destroyed by the explosion.
 The force Of the explosion and the noise that attended it caused the yeggmen to take hurried departure Investigating officers declare. It IS probable, however, that they stopped to gather up small portion of the money and stamps before they left.
 Despite the fact that the interior of the station was almost demolished as a result of the explosion, the at tempted theft was not discovered until 6 o'clock this morning. Sheriff W. H. Wilky and Deputy Ed Warren immediately left for Hot Springs Junction to investigate.
 It is the belief of officers that the blowing was the work of anna tours. Professional yeggmen, they believe, would not have used such a heavy charge in attempting to ope. the comparatively small safe. Off ccrs arc now working on this theory.

March 18th is the date set for Ma tional Enrolment Week for the United States Boys Working Re serve of the Department of Labor by w. E. Hall, National Director.
 The splendid work done by this organization of boys last year in the cotton fields in Arizona has received the highest commendation from MT. Hall. In a letter to Lindley B. Orme, State Director, he says:
 "The Reserve is prospering in al- most every state, and we especially wish to make a strong showing in Arizona.
 "Your splendid work there last year has been an inspiration to us here and to the other states. The story of what the boys did in the cotton fields has been spread to every state in the Union.
 "The Reserve this year will be recognized as very potent force in relieving the labor shortage on tn. ldTIlS.
 Arizona was one of the first states to organize Boys Working Re serve.
 The plan has been adopted by the Department of Labor, and every state is being requested to organize
 It is the intention this year to ex- tend the Reserve to every important agricultural section in the State.

THEY PERFUME THE INSIDE, NOT
 THE OUTSIDE
FORIDA WATER, FLAVOR ING EXTRACTS AND ALL KINDS OF PERFUMERY SALES TO BRIDE IN DEANS ARE BARRED.

JEROME, Ariz., March l6.-Grim privation, distress and dcstitu- ton beyond the comprehension of Belgian, Serbian or an Armen- ian, is faced by the Indians living along the Verde river.
 They are to be deprived of all per fumery, including that old, reliable favorite, Florida water; likewise of flavoring extracts.
 That time-honored custom which required young Apache bucks to sprinkle themselves liberally with Florida water before grasping their mesquite clubs and sallying forth to call upon the squaws of their choice must perforce be abandoned.
 John Link is the. individual re- sponsiblc for the terrible fate that has befallen the tribe. It is feared by the authorities that the Apaches will wreak dire vengeance upon him.
 Link could have burned every wickiup on the Verde without bring ing upon himself half the unpopular ity which he acquired today.
 According to the story that Link told when he appeared before U. :. Commissioner C. H. Rutherford to- day. on a charge of resisting an of- fcer, he bought bottle of Florida water carly in the month. His pur- .,,,l-a 1,,,,,eaif cHx-RRtNr than the new-mown hay in the nos trils of all Apache squaws. In court he gave convincing demonstration of his method of administering the fragrant liquid to his person. He denied vehemently having pcrfumed himself internally but it is pretty we'll established that the Florida water application was not entirely cx- tcrnal.
 At any rate, soon after Link got home with his little round bottle he began to act in manner which Jim Catchum, Indian policeman. found objectionable. Jim called at the Link wickiup prepared to place the dis i turber under restraint But the pros pcctive prisoner got the drop on tho arresting officer. In other words, Inc drew first, and he advised Jim to beat it thence while the beating hence wa: still fair going. Jim did not stop .to argue. but he enlisted the assistance of Deputy U. s. Marshal Harry Carlson and last night the two oi them succeeded in running Jim tc earth. He offered no resistance tc | the white man.
 Commissioner Rutherford did mol regard the evidence as sufficient tc hold the defendant, but he gave Link a severe lecture before allowing him to go. Then he announced that Inc would request all Clarkdale, Cotton wood and Verde merchants to refrain from selling perfumes and havoring extracts to Apache customers.
 "The trouble is that they flavor and perfume their tummies,' ex' plained the commissioner.

COPS NAB BOOZE FROM
 SANTA FEE BAGGAGE CAR
(From Sundays Daily)

The sheriff's office made another good-sizcd haul of the forbidden product of the distillcry on Friday afternoon, the "pinch'' being made when the south-bound Santa Fe pas scnger train arrived in this city on that day. A shipment consisting Of three large trunks and one box, all packed with pint bottles of whisky, had been forwarded as baggage from Los Angeles, being routed to Phoc- nix At Ash Fork somebody tipped the sheriff off to the effect that a big consignment of the liquor would pass through Prescott on No. ,, and when the train arrived, several cops were waiting 10 bounce upon the con traband
 Two of the trunks were full-sized and one was a steamer trunk. Scv- cral hundred bottles of whisky con- stitutcd the shipment, and formed one of the biggest seizures made here for some time. It was not knowi, whether the owner of the booze was on the train or not, as none of the trainmen could give any description of the parties who had been in charge of the baggage, but it is the beliet of the officers that the owner did not risk capture by travelling on the same train with the whisky. The liquor Is now m possession of the sheriff at the county jail. awaiting the time when the owner may inadvertently reveal his identity.

PARTIAL RELIEF
 SECURED BY SHEEPMEN

PHOENIX, March i5.-Although the Arizona Wool Growers Associa- ton failed in its conference with i'm tcrior, Indian and forestry depart 1ncnt officials at Washington to sc- cure the establishment of a new sheep trail from the northern to southern sections of the State, a compromise agreement was reached whereby par tial relief will be secured for the trails now being used.
 Under the agreement effected at the Washington conference, all sheep grazing on the Indian reservation for the summer period can use the reservation for both summer and winter months, thus making it un- necessary to drive thousands of head south during the migration periods.
 The proposed new north and south trail suggested by the association across the reservation and national forestry reserve was opposed by Ari- zona cattle growers, who declared that if the government established such a trail, it would infringe upon the rights of cattlcmen, who hold fve-year grazing permits on the sec tions involved.
 Urgcnr need for added runway fac iliticS was readily recognized by the government, with a result that the above compromise agreement was effected. which proved satisfactory to all parties concerned.
 In their arguments for new trail shcepmen pointed out the crowded conditions of the present runways how thousands of head of sheep had been lost during the past few years because of these conditions and the

MINING CONGRESS OPPOSES NEW
 BLUE SKY LAW
PROPOSAL TO STOP THE ISSUANCE OF ST OCK
 SELLING PERMITS FOR BALANCE OF YEAR DEF RENEWAL TO INDUSTRY

BISBEE, Ariz, March l6-A pro- posed resolution to go before a meet ing of representatives of states hav- ing blue sky incorporation laws, to- be held in Chicago March 1921, is opposed in an open letter issued to the meeting by the Arizona Chapter American Mining Congress, because of a provision contained that the states agree to abolish the issuance of stock selling permits during the re- mainder of the war.
 The letter takes the stand that such course would seriously hamper the development of metals which are es- sential to the conduct of the war, pointing out that price regulation of these by the government thus far in the war has not been such as to per nit the conduct of development on a scale proportionate with the maxi mum output of metal which has been necessary to meet government re- quirements, and that therefore there is greater need than ever of the ac- quiremcnt of money from investors in the development of metals with which to open new properties and eN- tend the resources of old ones. The case of copper is cited, development of which has been greatly retarded by the comparatively low price preva- lent since last summer under govern mcnt orders. Gold, silver and lead are mentioned, while manganese and other of the rarcr metals on the American continent arc pointed to as examples of lack of price fixation or of protective tariff regulation. Ameri- restrained from the development of manganese and associated steel hn- ishing metals in the western states in large measure because of the fact that they have been in direct compe- tition with mining of large bodies of these metals at exceedingly low costs in other parts of the world. It is instanccd that cargoeS of man ganese when ship bottoms arc avail able from Brazil, promptly knock the bottom out of the American market and make mining of the metals in this country at the present stage of their development unproftablc.
 The congress suggests that require mcnt from operating mining com- panics of complete and plainly un- dcrstandahlc statements of mining costs is the quickest road to accom- plishing the protection of the public, which is the aim of the blue sky laws. With such data in general circula- ton the public will cease to be prey for fraudulent promoters who twist figures of mining costs as now pre- sented in such manner as to carry conviction that the industry pays ab- normal profits, which is not true. \ comprehensive check would thus be secured upon wild investment in min ing enterprises during the war per iod, without interfering with needed, legitimate investment, double pur- pose thus being served in protect ing the public and conserving funds.

fact that efforts are being made to increase production in keeping with government propaganda. But, unless added facilities were provided, it was pointed out, the plan to increase pro- duction would, of necessity, be cur tailed.
 The concession of the government authorities will provide for the care of 65,000 sheep on the Indian reser- vation during the summer and winter months, it is stated.
 Later, the sheepmen, with repre- sentatives of the national association, went into conference with Food Ad- ministrator Hoover pertinent to sheep matters, and arrangements were perfected whereby sheepmen of the State will be kept in touch with wool prices on eastern markets, par ticularly at Boston. Quotations will be forwarded to Phoenix, whence they will be sent broadcast through out the State.
 According to the announcement by Food Administrator Hoover, it is said exportations of beef will be doubled during the next three months as compared with the past three months. Lamb has been taken from the restricted list until April IS, and further consideration will be given the subject before it is again added.
 Conferences were also held with the land commission relative to land withdrawals and trail matters.

points of the zone of the American army. Their sole duty is to sec to it that members of the American expe- ditionary force do not travel without authorization.
 This policing of railroads by American military authorities was made necessary by so many soldiers slipping away to "sce Paris" without permission. There was nobody to stop them so they simply boarded Paris-bound trains. Later on, of course, they were reported absent without leave and when they returned to their commands were punished.
 There were many men, sent to some lonely French village direct from the port of debarkation, who were quite willing to take some pun ishment in exchange for a few days in the capital.
 Now the military force have put an end to it and incidentally they are the envy of many other men in the army, for they do get into Paris at least once every thirty-six hours. They usually have four or five hours of freedom in the city and then re- turn to the army zone on another train, asking every American who happens to be aboard for his author ization to travel.
 Stray soldiers usually are picked up and arrested after pay days. Al other times not many arc found.
