MANYVOLUNTEER SERVICE E|N27TH
 ENGINEERS
IF ENOUGH MEN APPLY FOR ENLISTMENT, EXAM MING PHYSICIAN WILL BE SENT HERE TO PASS ON APPLICANTS.
lFrom Fridays Daily.)

"A lively interest is being shown by men in the recruiting of the Eth Engineers, announcement of which was made recently in the columns of this paper.
 The following telegram has been received by the Chamber of Com- mercc from Lieutenant Colonel O. B. Perry, commander of the Ntl Engineers. at Camp Meade, Mary land:
 Since you received circulars from the Engineering and Mining Journal authority for induction of men within. draft age has been withdrawn. Wire me how many good men there are in Prescott not within draft age who wish to enlist for the 27th Engineers and if number IS sufficient l will ar range to have recruiting officer sent there to enlist them and furnish transportation"
 It should be borne in mind that this is a call made by General Pershing for American miners, and that the 27th Engineers is the special mining regiment which the engineers corps of the United States army has author izcd by voluntary enlistment. It IS cited that the ordinary soldier cannot do this job right That is a miners job and it calls for regular miners to handle it. The army is therefore asking practical miners and mining men between the ages of 3l and 4l to come across. This regiment is now located at Camp Meade, Mary land. The 27th Engineers IS made up of six companies of 250 men, 1900 men in all and the men who are asked to enlist are picked men, miners chosen for their skill and strength.
 The Chamber of Commerce will be glad to give detailed information and desires to obtain the names and ad- dresses of all practical miners who wish to enlist in this particular branch of the service and as soon as suffl- cient number is obtained, the com manding officer will be advised and the recruiting officer will come to Prescott as outlined in the above tclc- gram This is a great opportunity for men qualified in this branch to show their patriotism, the call being made direct to them.

NOTED SLAYER'S ESTATE
 WILL BE SETTLED UP
CFrom Saturdays Dailyl

An echo of an old-time Jerome murder case resounded in the Super for court yesterday, at which time the superintendent of the State prison notified Judge Sweeney that there was still a balance of S2O6 m the eS- tate of the late \. V. Chavez who was executed at the prison for mur- der in the latter part of l9l6. The prison head suggested that the court name a competent administrator so that the money could be turned over 10 the young daughter of Chavez. .An attempt had been made about year ago to have the cash turned over to an administrator, but as the man who had been suggested for this capacity did not meet with the approval of the court, the matter was allowed to go without further attcn- tion.
 Chavez killed his wife at Jerome and was sentenced to hang. The man after his confinement in the peni- tentiary, came ia for a good share of the sympathy which was expended upon the gang of condemned mur- .dercrs at Florence by Governor Hunt. and the executive made number of efforts to prevent the hanging of Chavez However, m time all legal resources having been exhausted. the man was tloated off into eternity, via the trap door Tn the bottom of the gallows.

C. OF C. NOT BACK OF
 LOCAL LOAN SOLICITATION
CFrom Saturdays Daily)


 Following the announcement ot the fact that committee of ladies would make a house-to-housc canvass Tn Prescott in the interest of the Third liberty Loan, the imprcssio2 seems to have gained ground that the Chamber of Commerce was back or the move. This is not fact, and the only way in which the C. of C. was connected with the matter was that the plans for the canvass were for mulatcd in the C. of C. rooms, this point being a central meeting place for all organizations which are in- .crcstcd in civic good.
 As a matter of fact, the canvassing IS being done at the instance of the United States of America, and II any one believes that the canvaSsers need any more authority than this to go ahead. he must indeed be most per verse party. The Chamber ot Com mcrcc is no more interested m the loan drive than it is in any other big project which is for the good ot thc State and nation. and the local solicitations are in charge solely ot inc loan committees which have been appointcd as the local representatives of the treasury department during inc campaign to raise the required

MINE OPERATORS
 CONFER WITH INVESTORS
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

Details of initial operations of the Red Mountain Consolidated Copper Mines Company were placed before Prescott stockholders during the week by President C. F. Meyers, also the general manager, James H. Sulli- van, vicc-prcsident, and r. Brose, as sistant secretary, who arrived from the camp near old Fort Mcdowell, the officials coming to this city for that specific purpose. Their reports were received with favorable com ment by those interested, and de- vclopmcnt plans were approved. The statement made by Mir. Meyers that no company stock is to be offered for sale, and that affairs had passed out of the promotion stage Occasloned favorable comment also. Mir. Meyers states that a plan of coordination IS now the purpose of the Red Moun- tain, and on this basis of operating, development has started in prac- tical and energetic manner. New machinery is being installed and shaft work has started, while quite a camp has sprung up to accommodate cm- ployccs. Being a gcologist of wide rating. Mir. Meyers report as to mine conditions was weighed as authorl- tative. and proved quite interesting when he informed associates ot the splendid possibilities existing where the disseminated copper values in crosscut were pronounced for over 28 feet in width Another matter ot interest also was mentioned by this engineer in the character Of the sili- ciiicd schist being identical to that ot the field occupied by the Ray Con solidated and likewise of that of the Miami mineral country. Mir. Meyers also stated that the dyke matter, cx- posed for over 400 feet, was anotbcr feature which added attractively to the future and also was an important condition, indicating what depth m all probability will conclusively de- tcrminc in making big property. The ore values arc copper, gold and sil- yer, forming a desirable combination, but the red metal ranks as the most essential. and has the lead. All above officials have returned to the camp, and their mission here was well re- ccivcd by local stockholders. This IS the first trip to Arizona of Mr. Brose. He is pleased with Arizona and en- thusiastic over the Red Mountain.

FALLING PLANK KILLS
 MINER AT JEROME

JEROME. April Hillary Hen dcrson, miner employed in the con crcting of No. ; shaft at the United Verde. was fatally injured last eve ming when a staging plank being handled by his partner, John Golick, slipped and fell upon his head. Hem dcrson's skull was fractured and he died a few minutes after being taken 10 the l950-foot station.
 The accident occurred about lO:5O. Henderson was cleaning up the stag ing platform on the l950-foot level and Golick was working some twenty feet above him.
 Henderson was 30 years old and q native of Pennsylvania. He had been in the employ of the United Verde a number of years and was one of the most popular and efficient men on the force In fact Inc was m line for forcmanShip and would probably have been promoted within the next few days He was intensely patriotic and only last night his sub scription for a SlOO Liberty Bond was received at the '. V. office.
 The deceased was never married and no relatives arc living here. When his personal record card was filed out he did not give the name or address oi any relative but asked that the coroner be notified in case ol accident.

pay from so to 75 cents for the weekly and monthly magazines which are now selling at from , cents to ZO cents. The mail rate on such printed matter is now one cent per pound, regardless of the distance which the same IS hauled in the mails, and the new rates which are threatening to become effective, will increase these rates something like 900 per cent. Many of the magazines will be com pelled to suspend and those which do succeed in weathering the storm will be forced to raise their subscrip- ton prices to such points as to make the popular magazines almost pro hibitive in price to the average per son.
 It is understood that this seemingly underhand knock against the maga- zines was slipped into the postal appropriation bill at the last minute by several members of congress whose hides were still smarting from the effects of the popular pastimc which most of the nationally-known publications indulged in away back along about 1907 and 1908, and which was known in the phraseology of that day as "muck-raking." As almost everybody remembers, many of the members of the United States senate came in for a good share of the lime light which was turned into the cor ners that were dark by the enterpris- ing magazine proprietorS, and whether the scalp-lifting was merited or otherwise, the solons who had been the victims of the exposes. had since that time been carrying their sheathed tomahawks against the day when the opportunity would arise to soak the magazines a belt and in measure rctaliatc for the harsh things which the editorial writer had had to say about the lawmakers.
