EGGS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS
PER HUNDRED IN CHINA

SAN FRANCISCO, April Its
great to live in China where eggs re-
tail fat % cents per hundred; spring
chickens come to your kitchen for 15c
a pair; fresh meat is gladly sold by
the butcher at II cents Mex a
pound; sucking pig is plentiful at 20
cents Mex per pig; and private
rickshaw is at your service for rs
cents day.
That is the joyful word Sergeant
Anil Winman, of the marine corps
guard at the Pekin American legation,
brought to San Francisco when he
came home on his furlough. It's a
land where poor men play polo and
where shopkeepers drive all other
customers to the street to throw their
cigarettes and tea and dream of vast
wealth when an American marine
comes in, bearing real, American
dollar, according to Winman.
Even polo comes cheap in China.
'All the marines play polo" says
Winman. THE Chinese burros make
the finest kind of polo ponies and they
retail at $3.50 apiece"

OVERLAPPING BY
SPIES IS CHARGED

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The War
Department has been requested by the
Senate to furnish information about de-
vices to prevent overlapping by spleA
Senator owen, who introduced the
resolution asking for this information,
said that the War Department is pay
ing enough attention to such matters.
IT have no doubt that the War De-
partment wires are being tapped by
German spies, said Senator Owen.
"Of course it is being done. We know
that Germany is constantly fully ad-
vised of our plans, and what is more
reasonable to believe than that, these
plans are learned by tapping wires ?
"The tapping of War Department
wires by enemy agents will expose
plans of vital Importance. The sail
ing of ships bearing thousands of SOL
diers could be revealed in this way.
There are several devices available
to prevent wire leakage. I know of
several. But l know of one case
where a man went to an officer in the
War Department to explain such a de-
vice and this officer, who is supposed
to have a head on his shoulders, in
formed the man the War Department
was not interested in the matter.
What I want to do is to prevent
some woodenheaded officer from sac
riicing the lives of our boys"

OLD FORTY NINE
CAMP At RAY IS
VS.. 5. BOOSTER

The sum of 1851 was realized from
the sale of W. S S. and Thrift Stamps
at the '49 Camp held in the old Moose
hall, in the basement of the Merchants
& Miners bank, Monday afternoon and
evening.
Strictly speaking, it was no sale; it
was just wide-open gambling in the
true, ferocious, Wild West style that
greets cne in the magazines. Many
was the heart of the old-timer that
was gladened by the sight of faro
layout, roulette wheel, keno, chuck-a-
luck, crap, poker tables, etc. Stacks
of chips and one hundred dollar bills
were floating about right promiscuous.
At the entrance door was sign that
read: "Check your guns at the bar"
Another one. TTf you want to know
who's boss-START SOMETHING"
and others of like nature adorned the
walls. Candles provided the illumina-
tions.
I. D. Rickerson was in charge of the
gambling den. "Rick" handled the di-
sey and w. B. Barham engineered the
bones on crap tables; w. E. Mullen
and Jack Davis took care of the rou-
lette wheel; Judge M. M. Hickey gave
a demonstration of how faro should
be dealt; Sig Hall and R. A. Wilson
had poker tables in their charge, while
R. V. Johnson (of Owl drug fame) was
the barkeep who slung the drinks. Sun
dry other we'll known local sporting
men acted in other capacities.
1t was not uncommon to see a man
bet thousands of dollars-but the
money was of the sort used on the
stage, and was to be bought at Cne
cent on the dollar. With a S. bill,
man would have quite a roll with
which to "buck the banks" but the
trouble was it didn't seem to last.
Your reporter tried one game after
another and had fine time donating
consistently However, others won

We don't know how 40 Camp used
to look, but we venture to say that
Rays effort made the original camp
look sick, and much credit is due to
the managers of the entertainment for
their excellent results. Winnings were

DEV|NE IS OUT FOR
THE STATE SENATE

John G.. Devine, state senator from
Pinal county, announces his candi-
dacy for the senate in this issue of
the Copper Camp.
Senator Devine, as member of the
senate from this county, made an
excellent record during both the regu-
lar and special sessions of the Third
State legislature. Like his colleague
DR.. Davis in the house of representa-
tives, Senator Devine was not given
to talking, preferring to let the other
members of the legislature expend
their enegies in that way. However,
when either member of the Pinal
commanded the attention and respect
of the legislature, for it was gener-
ally conceded that he knew what he
was talking about.
Although mining man, Senator
Devine ably represented all the var
led Industries of Pinal county in
the senate. He was successful in
putting through he appropriation for
the Florence bridge in the regular
session, and in advancing the inter
ests of Pinal county on every occa-
sion. He served as member of the
senate committees on mines and min
ing, appropriations, constitutional
amendments, corporations, constitu-
tional mandates and printing, and is
chairman of the special committee ap-
pointed by the legislature to investi-
gate the question of feasibility of a
state smelter.

SONORA BOOTLEGGERS
DEALT A BODY BLOW

Sheriff Hall and his Ray deputy,
Chas. T. Henderson, were kept busy
this week rounding up Sonoratown
whiskoy peddlers. For some time
rast, two Mexicans from Winkelman
have been making periodical visits to
Sonoratown and after their departure
it was generally found that some
whisky had been loft in town.
On the evening of July 4th the
house of one Lucas Arvizo. a barber
in Sonoratown, was searched and con-
trary to his dry declarations, cache
of fifteen pints of Old Tay'or whisky
was found hidden under the floor of
his house. Arvizo finally admitted it's
ownership and told the officers that
he had purchased it the night before
from the Winkelman wholesalers at
$500 a pint and that he had already
disposed of two pints at $500 per.
On being brought to Florence by
Sheriff Hall he plead guilty to an in
formation filed against him in the Su.
perior court, charging him with sell
ing whisky, and he further gave Coun-
ty Attorney Richardson a statement
signed and sworn to Derore the Clerk
If court charging Jose Brecenio and
MARITIME Urena of Winkelman with
being the wholesalers for whom the
RI hod
two men were Immediately arrested
at the home Of friend in Sonora, at
which place ArviZo told the officers
they would most likely be found. but
when brought before Arvizo at Flor
ence Thursday, the latter tried to re-
tract on his sworn statement-cla
men, although the Winkelman men
had already admitted their identity.
Arvizo admitted that he had been
selling whisky in Sonora for some
time, and on his plea of guilty
was sentenced by Judge Baughn to
pay a fine of $4,000 and serve one
year in the County Jail at Florence.
Brecenio and Urena were arraigned
and plead not guilty, and they are
now in Jail in default of a $4,000
bail
5 Two other Mexicans were also taken
into custody in Soronatown at the
same time that ArviZo was arrested
men by the names of Moreno and
Guzman. These men admitted pur-
chasing from the Winkelman whole
salers and identified them to the
officers; they are now bound over to
the Superior court on charges of
transporting liquor.

WAGE INCREASE
OF fifty CENTS
IS ANNOUNCED

All workers n the copper industry
in Arizona are to receive an advance
of so cents day in wages.
This decision was reached this week
at conference of representatives of
various copper companies of the state
at Bisbee. The advance applies to
all divisions of the copper industry,
mining, milling and smelling
This conference took into consider
alton the copper production, made
study Of distribution and was effected
in the face of increased freight
charges and an advance in refinery
charges of two and ione-half cents on
copper metal.
The increase of SO cents per day
is more than was expected by the
miners who looked for an increase of
35 cents, corresponding with the profit
sharing schedule in effect before fed
eral price fixation.
In making the voluntary 50-cent ad-
vance the producers took into con-
sideration the general higher cost of
living.
fifty cents day, effective July 1, was
made this week by General Manager
L. S. Gates of the Ray Consolidated
Copper company. This brings the
bonus now being paid by the Ray Con
up to $1.70 a day. Announcement of
the increase created a marked i'm
preston upon Ray Con employees,
most of whom had not hoped for such
bountiful increase.
The action of the War Industries
Board, in raising the price of copper
to 26c, an increase of 2hc per pound,
was unexpected, and, as the policy
of the Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany has been to provide it's employ
ees with wage sufficient to enable
them to live properly, the increased
copper price was promptly acted upon
by the directors, to increase the pay.
inasmuch as the bonus paid in the
past several months had been based
upon 26c copper price, Ray Con
employees are actually being paid on
SIC price now.
The increase affects both mining
and milling departments of the Ray
Consolidated, and as indicated above
is retroactive, dating from the first of
the month

Press Comment
on X RecOrd of
Cumber1ands

The record of the Cumberland fam
lily which has furnished ten sons for
the service of Uncle Sam, evoked the
following editorial from the Reming-
ton of Editor ]. w. Spear of the Ari-
zona Republican. Mr.. Spear. who is
the dean of Arizona journalists, and
by far the most able editorial writer
in the southwest, says:
The Cumberland Family
There is, we are sure, no other fam
lily in the United States with such a
record for military and naval service
as that of Daniel Granville Cumber-
land of Ray, who is represented in
the war against autocracy by ten sons.
Arizona basks in the reflection of
the glory from the Cumberland fam
lily.
There can be but one lurking, dis
turbing thought in connection with all
this, and the danger is purely the
oretical. If the Cumberland boys
were of less loyal antecedents, it
might be feared that the Germans,
with that adroitness and underhand-
edness which have distinguished them
in their war negotiations, would at
tempt to enter into a separate peace
with the Cumberland family.
Those who have lent one boy TO
the nation in this struggle feel that
they have done great deal, and so
they have, much more than the man
who has loaned a million dollars on
good security and at fair rate of
interest. But then what are the sac
rifices of either to that which Mr.. and
Mrs. Cumberland have proudly of
fered?
They deserve we'll of the nation
and have fully earned that graceful
tribute which has been given them
by the secretary of war.
