FOLSOM FAMILY SPLITS
 ON WAR AND BEER
(From Sundays Daiiy)

War with Germany is hitting an other angle beside the clash on the battlefield, and has caused lively mixup in one home at South Cincin- nati, D., which is of local interest. The domestic trouble between Albert T. Folsom and his wife, lncz Lauzer Folsom, was freely aired before Judge Oliver a few weeks ago, a di- vorce being asked for by the hus- band. One ground in the complaint stipulated intcmpcrancc and another alleged race hatred against the Americans. To those charges the pretty defendant stood up in court and freely acknowledged their truth. She resisted the divorce on one ground. asking that a certain sum be allotted her of the business which her husband was conducting.
 When the woman was asked by the court ii she was of pro-German Jennings. she rose to her feet and waving her hand, said: Blood IS thicker than water" All right" said the judge, who continued: Mrs. Fol som. is it a fact, as your husband al- legcs .n his complaint, that you are addicted to drinking beer to- such an extent as to produce intemperance' =
 To which she replied as follows .ITl quit drinking it when they qut making it." Enter judgment tor plaintiff: the decree is granted, sad the judge. who called the next case on the calendar.
 Mir. and Mrs. Folsom made Me Cabe their home during the early months of last year, when the reviv- iue of that property was under con- sideration. Later they removed to Mayer. and then to Prescott, return ing to Ohio later.
 Mir. Folsom was engaged m the clear store business in Cincinnati. while his wife sold tickets for mo- tiou picture theatre. Her parents arc German. while her husband serv- ed for five years with the Ohio na- ,ional guard as first lieutenant.

SOME GLASS, LADIES,
 TO THESE FURS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

]. H. Drew IS in possession of a set of four fox skins which are at tracting much favorable comment from those who have seen them. The furs were received during the week from Denver taxidermist made from the gray fox of this county, which are pronounced of exceptional beauty and of great value.
 The skill and care used in treatment is strikingly in evidence. The four furs are owned by a well-known local mining man who at present is in the East, and after his return to Prescott in a short time, they arc to be pre- scnted to his wife. The outlay in preparing them was about S35. but each pclt is valued at twice that sum. Mir. Drew is the custodian of the county in caring for bounty belts and these beautiful skins were select ed from the stock, for which the owner was paid only 75 cents apiece. They will be on exhibition for few days only

BRITISH OFFICER . HERE ID AID IN RECRUITING
LIEUTENANT CROZI E R, WHO HAS SEEN SERVICE IN FLANDERS, WILL TELL OF CONDITIONS AT BATTLE FRONT.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

"Thorc's just one thing that WIG Of the Allied nations must do, and that is to fight the Hun till hell freezes over and then go after him on skates, declared Lieutenant J. A. Crozier British recruiting officer, who arriv- ed in Prescott late last night iron, Phoenix Lieutenant Crozier, accom- panied by Sergeant Bury, is in this city for the purpose of arousing in- terest in enlistments in both the British and American armies.
 f'Since my arrival in Arizona several weeks ago." said the lieutenant, q have. as yet failed to meet any pro- German howlcrs. During my travels on the coast 1 had to bend my stick across the heads of at least five Ger man sympathizers each week, as my sentiments will not allow me to take any of the drivel which is usually handed out by this un-patriotic class of alleged citizens. Let me say for the Arizonans, however, that I have never seen more loyal bunch of people since the war begin. I have spoken in practically every large town in the State, and have been given as hearty a welcome as though I were an American recruiting officer.
 "I believe that can truthfully state that my campaign in behalf of the British cnlistments has had an en- couraging effect upon American en- listments, for in many places, young men who have heard my talks con- corning conditions at the front have been awakened to the duty which they owe to Uncle Sam, and have shortly afterwards gone to the re- cruiting stations and enlisted in the ranks of the men who fight under Old Glory"
 Lieutenant Crozicr will address a gathering at the High school auditor ium this evening and display a big collection of war relics.

IMMENSE BODY MOLYBDEN|TE|N
 THE UNITED
OLD COPPER MINE IN MAYER FIELD REVIVED REC ENTL STRIKES RARE MINERAL IN DEEP EST WORKINGS.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Unexpectedly the United Arizona Copper Company has made its most important determinations in cutting body of molybdenite ore on the 630- foot level, and the strike is occasion- ing considerable excitement in Cop per creek district, east of Mayer, this being the first instance known where this mineral has been associated with copper in that region.
 The extent of the find IS arousing keen interest also, a crosscut show ing that for Y feet this mineral abounds, and carries values of per cent. On the foot wall, however. a Pinch vein is exposed that carries over 30 per cent of a molybdenite content. while the drift run for l9 feet today would indicate perman- cnt body Samples from the strike were exhibited yesterday by E. J. White, who is interested in that sec, ton, and according to statement made by him this determination is considered as of vital interest and af- fccts many other mines nearby which are reaching great depth.
 The United Arizona is under opera ton by New York, Phoenix and Douglas mining men. many of whom have been advised of what has taken place, and in all probability will come to make an investigation.

BILL AFFECTING MINING n TO BE INTRODUCED
(From Saturdays Daily)

Considerable comment has been made recently regarding the proposed bill which will be introduced by the Department of the Interior, il be- ing generally understood that this bill was designed to stop develop mcnt work and work on prospects m mining States. This would unqucs- tionably work hardship upon such State as Arizona.
 At the instance of the Chamber of Commerce, Attorney J. E. Russell wired Senator Ashurst regarding this matter and the senator's telegram, received yesterday, follows:
 Bill has not yet been introduced, but it ;s the intention of Interior De- partmcnt to secure legislation stabiliz- ing mining industry by placing under the control of the President during the period of war, all minerals. miner al fuels and by-products thereof.

OFFICER CROz|ER TALKS ID b|G AUDIENCE
MEMBER OF BRITISH RE- CRUITING MISSION DE- VERS INTERESTING TALK AT HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Fellow citizens, 1 wish to dwell a | few moments on the viewpoint of a German and how he looks at the war and its outcome" said Lieut.. J. A. Crozic-, of the British and Canadian recruiting mission at an address which bc delivered at the High school to large and representative crowd last night. "The German believes that he is being called upon by God to rule the world, and as such, no amount of suffering could be con- strued as being any more than the will of God. They console them selves with this one idea-that if God be for them who can be against them? That they arc the survival of the fittest and they are the fittest.
 The German lying on the battle field feels that his death is only an incident in helping to win the war. because he feels confident that when he passes over the Great Divide, good patriotic Germans will see to it that he is boiled and nets from two to three ounces of nitroglycerine ex- tractcd from his body, from six to 10 pounds of fat and from 30 to 60 pounds of potash. And he feels that the next time he appears in these other forms he will be more effective than he has been up to date.
 "A German officer some time ago, in saying goodbye to the nurse that had looked after him for many months in a British hospital, when she extended her right hand to him. grabbed her by the hand, put his foot on chair and broke her arm over his knee. This only goes to show that no amount of kindness can or will change Germans heart.
 But is Uncle Sam, who has given Germans in America naturali- ration. and has given them all the liberties than anyone gets, going to. allow the German to bite the hand that is feeding them? I should say not He is going to trim his teeth so close tEat he will not bite anyone. And the Allies have all decided and have claspcd hands, and sworn the one to the other, that they arc going after that Prussian bunch until hell freezes over, and then they are going after them on skates.
 "The war may be long one, but let us Lot for one minute ease up on. recruiting, because when peace nego- tiations really take place, the coun- tries with the largest armies, and the countries with the greatest sacrifices will have a great deal to say as to who will be the custodian of the baiser."

EASTERNERS PLEASED
 WITH LOCAL COPPER
(From Saturdays Daily)

During the present week, ;. l.. Doanc, of Cleveland, j. c. Paulc and Thomas R. Daly, of Chicago, made an extensive examination of the hold ings of the Arizona Copper and Min ing Corporation, situated in the May CT field, and while in the city ycstcr- day returning East, all expressed themselves in the most hopeful man. ncr and with confidence which was decidedly pleasing.
 This property in recent months has undergone the transition of a pros pcct into rating of a high-class and desirable copper, and aside from what is claimed by those interested, miners have made reports frequently as to conditions in evidence in new development, which prccludeS any possibility of an exaggerated show ing.
 During the visit of the above in vcstorS, they were guests oi w. J. Mayer, \. w. Davis and r. ]. Hob- son, locally interested. The property is active, employing 20 miners, and as depth is given. there is not the slightest doubt but what another big cooper is being determined.

r. $. Vielc, recently elected as president of the Chamber of Com mcrce, in making his initial speech from the chair on Thursday eve ming, said:
 From the name of this organiza- ton it is evident that ii was designed to serve the interests of the entire county, and from the fact that the organization derives large part of its income from the county at large through the fund set aside by the board of supervisors, it is felt that the activities of this body should more generally take in county af- fairs than has been the case in the past. We should be just as much in- terestcd in the affairs of Skull val ley as of those of Camp Verde; and in the affairs of Crown King as we are in thc affairs of Prescott and Jc- rome.

PLACER INDUSTRY
 IS SPEEDING UP (From Saturdays Daiiy)

Bringing to the city yesterday some placer goll recovered in Buckskin gulch, q tributary of Castle creek, Alex PrcntisS stated the present drouth is the means of rcviving this industry to d larger extent than known for many years. The lack oi employment at present in quartz mines, and the favorable condition ot the soil for dry washing, is causing old diggings to be investigated, and quite d movement is noticeable.
 It was reported d Mexican had washed out a nugget valued at Sl75. that was sold in Wickcnburg. The men employed arc believed to be making good days wages. Prcntiss has resumed work on an old quartz claim, and comes to procure a powder license and buy supplies. He reports thousands of goats and sheep in the country for the first time.

1 travel. If we are to secure anything | from the motor routes the road be- tween Skull Valley and Copper Basin should be at least made passablc for automobiles. The Crown King road should be finished and the road be- tween the bottom of the Cherry creek grade and Jerome should have the bottoms of the many washes so fixed that they will not be unsafe for driving at reasonable rate of speed.
 Your chairman feels very strongly on the subject of the duties of this body as regards the mining industry in this county. We appreciate perfect ly that the province of this body is neither political nor is it designed for the exploitation of any particular en- tcrprise except as that enterprise af- fleets the community as whole. We believe, however, that it is our duty to safeguard the public against wild cat enterprises and stockjobbing schemes and that where such schemes are evident that suitable publicity should be given to the fact so that at least the citizens as a whole in this county should not be accused Of buncoing the public. To the end that we may cooperate as far as possible in this worthy object the chair will make an earnest effort to appoint a mining committee who will seriously appreciate the advantages to the com munity as a whole of assisting worthy enterprises and placing at the dispos- al of the investing public informa- ton which will prevent their invest ing in enterprises that cannot but fail to be a drawback to the com munity.
 Second only in importance to the Jerome road as affecting the welfare and growth of this community, IS the question of providing proper paving for the city of Prescott and proper lighting fixtures, which arc now so entirely inadequate. We will have on the plaza, in the course ot the next three months, the finest speci- men of architecture in the State of Arizona and a courthouse which would be credit to a community Of ten times the size of this. It IS disgraco that the main thoroughfarc leading to this courthouse is for some months of the year well-nigh im- passab,e to vehicles and certainly in1- passable with any comfort to the oc- cupan.s of the vehicles. Ii is further more q disgrace to this community that the lightning of this thorough fare Is such that when the shcritt takes prisoners from the train to the courthouse at night, here IS nothing in the shape of lights which will pre- vent the escape of the prisoner at any point along the route.
 "The growth of this community has been involuntary in the past tive wears. The city has as whole done nothing whatever to encourage an influx of residents, and if we are go- ing to grow we have to provide taci- litics and advantages which will in- duce people to become residents ot this community. We trust that some legal and equitable way may be evolved by which portions of our streets may be suitably paved and lighted within the next year"

WILL MEET IN SALT
 LAKE CITY

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. ll- Questions regarding the price of wool and mutton in the United States and the possibility of the goverpment re- gulating prices will be considered at the convention of the National Wool growers association to be held in Salt Lake City. January l7. Is and l9 according to Dr. s. w. McLure, secre- tary of the association.
 Dr. Mcclure stated that more than 1000 sheepmen and others drawn from all parts of the country, would attend. Many of the members are al- so members of the National Live stock association which will hold its convention here January IA, IS, and l6.
 David r. Houston, United States secretary of agriculture, is expected to address the livestock association's convention and Dr. Mcclure said that an effort would be made to have him speak also before the woolgrowers.
 In addition to woolgrowcrs, packers and commission men and experts in the United States department of an- imal industry will address the sheep men. The railroads have announced special fares to the delegates of either one or both conventions.
 The complete program of the Ma tional Woolgrowers' Associations convention follows:
 January Y: Invocation. Rev. Elmer I. Goshen of Salt Lake City; address of welcome to the delegates, Cover nor Simon Bambcrgcr: response to the address of welcome, Dr. J. N. Wilson, Douglas Wyoming: annual address of the President, Frank J! Hagcnbarth, Salt Lake City; appoint ment of committees; "Thc Meat Packer and the Producer" L. F.

 All the speeches and the papers will be discussed by the convention at large in conformity with the custom of former years. In addition, res' olutions will be presented, Dr. Nc Lure stating that one of them would probably deal with the question ot having more grazing land in the west. He stated that many sheepmcn were now transferring to eastern "cut-ovcr lands and, as a consequence, the west was losing considerable revenue. The Homestead act, he said, had been re. sponsiblc for the great removal of sheep to the cast. Election of officers will also take place.
