 U. $. Troops
Become Willing Prisoners of Patrol Without Fir
 ing a Shot.

With the American Army on the Vesle Front, Aug. 2O.-(By The Asso- ciated Press. )-SiXty Prussians have been taken prisoner by the Americans near Fismette, north of Fismes, with out either side firing a shot. The Prussians were machine gunners and all that remained of company which had been in line less than month.
 American attachments went out a few nights ago, the location of the machine gun positions having been reported by prisoner. According to the Americans, the Prussians were waiting to be taken prisoner. The in telligence officer who questioned the Prussians asserted that they nearly all had agreed to surrender if the slightest opportunity arose.
 The Americans who took the prison CTS do not claim any credit fer the capture, declaring that the Prussians virtually deserted their posts.
 A German prisoner taken Sunday told an intelligence officer he believed that if the battle line recedes to Ger many proper the fighting spirit of the German soldiers will be greatly stimulated.

HOME GUARDS MUST
 DRILL OR BE FINED
If They Don't Pay the Penalty They
 Will Be Dishonorably Discharg- ., ed, Says Resolution.

The Home Guard member who fails to attend drill hereafter must pay a fine of $1. If he doesn't pay within 30 days he will be dishonorably dis charged from the company.
 This was the substance of resolu- tion adopted last night by the com pany, and is the result of continual cutting of drill by several of the mem- bers.
 Capt. Harold Bluthenthal issued an order that members who were not present when the resolution was adopted and do not desire to live up to the new rule should turn in their uniforms to Sergt. Felix Smart.
 eff they will not drill we don't want them in the company" he said.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 2O.-Complete returns from a number of central anc southern cities and scattered and in complete figures from small towns and precincts, throughout Mississippi at 10 o'clock tonight showed Congress man B. P. Harrison, of Gulfport, Miss running far ahead of Senator James K. Vardaman, of aJckson and former l Governor E. F. Noel, of Lexington in the senatorial primaries.
 Harrison supporters in the face of the returns already in, declared it would be impossible for the junior senator to secure in north Mississippi enough votes to make second pri- mary necessary. Returns from north Mississippi were unexpectedly slow !! altho scattered returns gave Harrison a majority
 In Jackson, Vardaman's home city complete returns showed Harrison 964; Vardaman 1S2 and Noel S9 In Vardaman's ward the vote was Harri- son 121; Vardaman 2S. Kinds county carried last time by Vardaman, showed wit ha few small precincts missing: Harrison 1859; Vardaman 595; Noel 152. In the congressional districts mea- ger reports showed that where in cumbents were candidates they were apparently not only holding their own but had safe leads over their oppon- ents.
 The senatorial contest overshadow- ed all else in the primaries today.
 A letter from President Wilson stating he "cou]d not but regard Vardaman's election as condemna- ton of my administration by thepeo- pie of Mississippi" was regarded by political leaders as having strong factor in cutting down the Vardaman vote.
 Vardaman headquarters tonight declared the north Mississippi vote would at least make a second primary necessary.
 Run-Off May Not Be Necessary. Memphis, Tenn, Aug 2O.-North Mississippi returns from today sena- torlal primary at late hour tonight gave Representative B. P. Harrison a strong lead over Senator James K. Vardaman and former Governor B. F. Noel.
 Many cities and towns and some counties were complete and it was be- lieved here that the isolated boxes which will report tomorrow cannot give Vardaman even plurality in this section unless they are almost unanimously in his favor.
 This is not generally expected. In- dications, based on reports received here from all parts of the state were that Harrison would be nominated without the necessity of a run off primary
 The senatorstorial contest so mono polized interest here that little was known of results in the other races.

Oppose Work or Fight"

Washington, Aug. 20.-Organized labor's emphatic opposition to the work-or-fight amendment to the new man power bill extending the draft ages was presented to the house mili- tary committee today by Frank Mcr- rison, secretary of the American Fed eration of Labor.
 Supporting the recent protest of Samuel Gompers, MT. Morrison de- clared that the provision inserted by the senate committee authorizing withdrawal of deferred classification from men absent from work without cause was an attack upon the loyalty of American workmen, and a "con- scription of labor in covert" way, which would be resented in every corner of the country. He suggested that special interests were secretly anti-labor legislation.

 NOyOn Outflanked.

1NOyUN
 Indeed, it seems not improbable now that Noyon is we'll outflanked on the south and southeas and the Ger man line is none too secure north of Soissons, that the enemy will be un- der the necessity of moving his troops northward from the Vesle toward, if not across the Aisne.
 The Germans still are stubbornly contesting with the British points of vantage the line south of the Somme near Chaulnes and north of Rove, which are still in German hands and which are the keystones to the enemy defense line.
 With the capture of Beuvraignes by the French however Rove apparent ly is on the eve of falling and with it's fall doubtless the entire line north ward to the Somme vii lgive way.
 The Germans in the Merville sector of the Lys salient everywhere are being closely followed by the British as they give up positions under at tack and at last accounts they were showing no indication that an inn mediate halt is in their mind.
 On the Lys front, altho the Ger, mans are showing some resistance they are not putting their wonteo heart into their work
 There has been little fighting along the Vesle river where the Americans and French are facing the enemy.

war industries. among the most i'm portant of which is copper.
 Advanced Development
 Among large development enter prises which are advanced in the state to a point where it is reasona- ble to expect the early establishment of great new mines, the Denn Arizona in the Warren district continues fore most in attention. Denn has its wat CT down close to the 1900 level. In less than thirty days pumping the water was gotten to within a com paratively few feet of this level, when in changing one of the pumps the wat CT got away. It is now being caught up and it is probably only a matter of days until they are on the 1900 and starting the exploration work there which will determine what shape the ore bodies and showings above have taken at this depth. There is confi- dence at the present time that the findings will establish the presence of a great new mine. Denn has been shipping about 100 tons of ore daily from its development work on the up- per levels. In the Ray district the Hercules mine stands ready to begin heavy production as soon as the mill can be turned over. It has been de- layed recently by the common trou- ble of slow freight transportation, which has detained necessary parts of equipment. In the Miami district east, west, north and south on the 800 level of the Porphyry Copper Co. property have determined the pres ence of commercial bodies of chalco- cite and carbonates. The work on the 600 level is now getting under the ore on the 500, with conditions attendant which extend cause for high confi- dence that this mine will make good in an important way. At the Kay property of the United Eastern inter- ests in the Snorth. preliminary steps to the establishment of a big and highly active developing camp are go- ing on apace and in a short time there will be a great deal of actual develop ment in progress. The property is considered the making of large cop per mine and has the distinction c. being the only one to be brought for ward in this light during the year.

GREEN MONSTER MAY
 DISCOVER RICH ORE

JEROME, Ariz., May 1S.--SOme i'm portant determinations are likely to be made within the next few days in the crosscut being driven north from the Gorge winze at the Green Mons ter.
 The winze from the Gorge tunnel was sunk to a depth of 100 feet. About fifty feet below the tunnel lev el it passed out of a low-grade ore body-diorite impregnated with chal- copyrite-and into quartz-prophyry. At present the crosscut has advanced forty-four feet through the quartz porphyry and it is expected that about sixty feet from the shaft it will inter- sect the ore.
 At the Dorothy May shaft, the head ings driven on the white intrusive crosscut by the main tunnel from the 500-foot level have advanced 211 and 233 feet, north and south respectively. These drifts show a strong quartz vein and below it softer quartZ-por- phyry carrying pyrite, chalcopyrite and chalcocite in varying forms. The conditions have been so encouraging that it has been thought wise by the board of directors, acting on the ad- vice of the mining committee, to sink the Dorothy May shaft deeper. Work has already been started on the sink ing of the shaft and, for the present, on the 500 is suspended. It is intended to go to depth of ,000 feet if conditions warrant or, at any rate, to continue sinking at least to the S00-foot level before starting to crosscut.
 AS the white intrusive has a dip toward the shaft it is possible that it may be intersected before the 1000 foot level is reached" explained President w. s. Humbert today. "It is hoped that this white intrusive will lead us, as it has always done sooner or later at the United Verde and Unit ed Verde Extension mines, to a rich ore body. The extensive teaching above would seem to indicate secon- diary enrichment below"

The Brown group was added, then the Martin Schuber group and this week the company acquired the Rainy Day holdings, embracing sixteen claims. In all the company now owns nearly 100 claims, every one of which has been prospected and developed to an extent which war rants further work. Although the main content of the ores of the Basin is copper, they carry values in molyb- denum and also gold and silver to an extent sufficient, it is claimed, to de- fray all mining costs.

MIAMI WINDING UP
 CONSTRUCTION WORK

Miami Copper company's construc- tion program for remodeling the mill and increasing the capacity of the power plant was disturbed last year, but for some time past this work has been actively under way and is now nearing completion. An important step affecting the mine was the decis- ion to sink a new working shaft known as No. 5. Up to the present time, shaft No. has been the only outlet for ore from the mine and the crushing plant at this point has been barely able to handle the output un- der continuous operation. The two hoisting shafts will allow separation of the ore mined into two classes. one practically clean 'sulphide ore, and the other relatively high in Oxidized copper content. For some time past, the problem of the recovery of oxidiz- ed copper has been under investiGa- tion and this arrangement will be of very great advantage in allowing the adoption of separate methods of treat ment for the two classes of ore. The new shaft will have a total depth of S30 feet and will be connected with the ore-producing portion of the mine at the 57O and 720-foOt levels, where underground ore pockets will be To- cated.
 Underground development work done last year amounted to 25.476 feet. Work in the eastern portion of the mine, where top slicing is the method in use. amounted to 16.044 feet. This ore body Is now well op- ened up for mining below the first haulage level and the second. or 57O- foot haulage level, is completed for the area at present being worked. Some further opening up of this ore will be carried on during the year as the area worked is extended.
