mineral industry of the country.
The vast consumption in war of
iron, copper, zinc, lead, molyb-
Idenum, phosphates, etc., have
made an immense demand for
those metals, and their develop
ment Is receiving an impulse
that will be felt in all the min
ing regions of the world. Then
it is apparent that after the war
there will be need of gold and
silver to redeem the great vol
umes of paper money, bonds,
etc., issued by all the warning
nations, which is causing inquiry
for properties producing gold
and silver. Doctor Underwood
advises all owners of mining
properties to prepare for great

To the Wrong Place.

Before Judge Wilkey,s Of the
precinct court, yesterday, there
was tried for petit larceny one
Ramon Ayon, who was accused
of stealing a suit of clothing
from the room of Jesus E. Con,
zales. The testimony went to
show that the defendant at
tempted to sell the suit to 8
tailor, who recognized it as hav-
ing been cleaned for the owner
at his establishment but few
days before. So he notified the
police and the owner at once,
and the thief was taken into
custody. At the trial yesterday
he was found guilty and SEN
fenced to six months in Jail.

cline shaft and a skunk coming
up the bucket-slide in the same
shaft, at the same time, was
what Joe Lamoureux saw at the
Empire mine one day last week.
There's a skunk-look out for
him" yelled Joe to the engineer
from the collar of the shaft.
Plenty of room for both of us, "
answered the engineer, pursuing
his way with the utmost uncon-
Germ, and the skunk, not more
than two feet away, doing like
wise. They passed each other
and not an offensive word, ac-
tion or smell passed between
them, greatly to Joe's surprise.
When the engineer returned he
explained that that was an al
most daily occurrence. There
was perfect harmony between
them. Their wires meyer cross
ed. When the engineer went
down, the skunk came up. and
vice versa, each respecting the
others rights, and never was a
stink" raised. There's a living
example of true sociology well
worthy of emulation. Would
that all odoriferous skunks> and

AN ORPHAN ASYLUM.
In Zacatecas in Straits. Is Oblig
ed to Turn Into the Street
It's Wards.

A correspondent of Ell Uni
versal, a City of Mexico news
paper, writing from Zacatecas,
presented the following state
ment of sad facts:
To-day / had an opportunity
to interview a group of children
who were clad in the garb pre-
scribed for inmates of the Or
phans' Asylum, supported by the
government of this state (Zac-
ateeas,, Mexico), in the town of
Guadalupe, near this city, who
were wandering in the most
public streets of the city, with
their faces marked with the an
guish they felt, and which de-
picted also the suffering they
had experienced through lack of
nourishment. When l question
ed them with regard to what
they were doing in a condition
SO deplorable, they replied that
they had been notified by the
director of the Orphans Home
that the institution was able to
supply them no longer with the
scanty nourishment they had re-
Iceived for some days preceding
and that they were at liberty to
leave the asylum in search of
subsistence.
'The readers of Ell Universal
will guess the hardships and
perils to which were subjected
most cruelty these children
from 8 to IL years of age, whom
I interviewed, and who have no
parents or connections to assist
them. Lashed by misery, they
were wandering the streets. not
daring to beg aims of the pass
ers because they still maintain
a sort of dignity which prevents
their doing so, but sooner or
later they will have to abandon
their dignity and appeal to who
ever will be compassionate and
help poor and helpless children. "

REGULATION OF EXPORTS.
Changes in the Licensing Sys-
tenn.

Mr.. w. T. Haley, special agent
for the War Trade Board, has
called attention of 'The Oasis
to some important changes in
licensing exports, which are OF
public import. The circular
reads as, follows:
"The War Trade Board has
announced that the ruling under
which the expectation of food
grains, -four, butter and sugar
might be licensed by collectors
of customs at points Of exit,
when the quantities shipped
were less than 125 bushels Of
food grains, 25 barrels of flour,
125 pounds Of butter, and Is
barrels of sugar, has been re-
scinded and withdrawn. In Or
der, however, to provide for the
needs of those persons in con-
tiguous countries who have be-
come dependent upon the United
States for their daily sustenance
the board has authorized the
collectors of customs, in their
discretion, to license the expor-
tation of small quantities of
foodstuffs and feedstuffs, when
such expectation involves mere
ly frontier traffic on a small
scale by persons living near the
border, such as that arising out
of customary retail purchases
for their own needs"
Mr.. Haley states that business
will go along just as before, but
that there will have to be IL
censes for all exports. To facili-
tate the business, each business
house has been given blank
forms, printed slips, that can be
given with each purchase, which
signed by the purchaser and
taken to the customs Inspector
at the line, the shipment is
passed over and the slip taken
up. Then at evening all the slips
taken up 60 to the custom house
where a blanket export license
is issued covering the days
business. 81
Rubber and all rubber prod
ucts are still upon the reserve
list. and there is still some diff
Guilty in sending over such COM
modities. Mr.. Haley hopes the
regulations may be modified in
that particular. <-

Mr.. Turner was we'll along in
years during the latter part OF
his sojourn here and was gradu-

this is attributed to some ex-

Mr.. Turner played the pro-
noting game with a ..big hand ?

that there was nothing small

AROUND THE STATE
A Collection of Newsy Items
From All Parts.

From All PartS.
Coconino Sun: Water Super
intendent Marshall wishes to
advise the citizens of Flagstaff
that the town is facing serious
water shortage and that every
economy. should be made in the
use of water. This condition is
brought about by the exception
ally dry fall and winter.
The new reservoir now con-
tains ten million gallons and the
daily flow is 145,000 gallons.
From this supply the town is
using about half a million gal
Ions daily. The seriousness of
the situation is evidenced by the
fact that under these conditions
the town will be out of water in
thirty days or less. The supply
of water to the mills and rail-
road has been greatly reduced,
but in addition to this the citi-
zens are requested to practice
strict economy until snow or
rainfall relieves the situation.
Holbrook News: Holbrook
schools were closed Wednesday
morning on account of smallpox
in town, by order of the state
Board of Health. DR.. Sampson,
accompanied by Professor Dol
man, has made careful inves-
tigation of all reported and sus-
pected cases, but up to date of
writing no cases of smallpox
have been discovered among the
school children of the district.
FrvT
The closing Of schools gives the
teachers an opportunity to COM
plete the work of assisting the
local draft board of Holbrook,
which was somewhat delayed on
account Of the non-arrival of
card indices.
Wilcox News: /. F. Colodny
of Phoenix has been selected by
the board of education as direc-
tor of vocational training for
Arizona under the provisions of
the Smith-Hughes act. The plan
provides for agricultural, indus
trial and home economics edu-
cation for which the government
appropriates $500 per year,
the state matching it dollar for
dollar.
Bowie Enterprise: 1918
seems to have been a Gods gift
to Bowie. That is to say in the
upbuilding of the town itself.
Ere the first six months of the
year have gone sound estimates
show that exceeding $4,000
will have been expended for new
buildings and architectural i'm
provenlents. The Southern Pa
cific Railway Company will be
the largest contributor to this
vast amount, since Mr.. T. H.
Williams, assistant general
manager, has informed us that
his company has appropriated
$4,000 for the entire remodel
ing of the depot at Bowie. Plans
Tor the new construction have
been seen and approved by a
number of the Tucson division
officials, also by several others
of our locality, who say the COM
pany's intentions are elaborate,
which assertion assures us that
Bowie will have one of the best
appearing stations between Ell

Referring to this Increase, Walter

that the budgets for the seven par.

men were expected to be in France
instead Of the 100000 already there,
1t is easily seen that an increase in
the quota WAS necessary"
Regardless of the increase, Mr.. Hop
kins is confident that the quota will
be oversubscribed because of the
work already done by the organiza
