Continues Next Week,
MINES ARE
SHORT ON LABOR

IIoughton. Mich.-Iabor difficulties
and the almost Unsuitable demand for
metal are reflected in the copper
mining industry of the upper PENN
sula which is providing q great. guam
tity of copper ore for 4munition plants
and other war Industries. Enormous
shipments of refined copper are being
made to eastern lakes and sea ports
from Houghton county points. The
metal is loaded into huge lake carriers
and in some instances is almost hot
from the furnaces.
The shortage Of men has become
serious. and it is understood the oper-
elton of the federal law will be in
voi.ed by the producers. A majority Of
the old and more efficient Workinen
who are leaving are taking up work in
Detroit war material manufactures at
shorter hours and higher pay.
The result of this migration of labor
is shown by the great decrease in the
amount OF copper in this district during
July. with Indications pointing to a
still greater decrease during August.
One mine has been forced to SHUT
down. although this: was due not alone
to the departure OF competent workers.
but also to an increase in freight
rates from the comlany's mine to its
mills.

PRESCOTTITE ACQUITTED
 OF FOUL CRIME
(From Fridays Daily.)

Accused of being an accessory to a ficndish crime, in which man and his wife were burned to death at Rochester, \. Y., the presiding judge in the trial ordered the jury to re- turn a verdict of not guilty against Fuller C. Haven, against whom an indictment was returned during Feb ruary Copies of a newspaper re- ceived by Prescott acquaintance of Haven, contain sensational accounts of this crime, from which it is learned that Haven was placed in a very un- fortunate situation, but from which he fully cleared himself of being a principal or in any way having been connected with the sad affair, when he proved an alibi so conclusively as to warrant the verdict to be rendered as was done. The shop in which were working many boys and girls on the lower floor, was set on fire, pre- sumably by an alien enemy, who was seen to hurry away down an alley after the alarm was sounded. This person was later arrested and is said to have been at one time a brother in-law of Haven, who, it was alleged, also was seen in his company The man and woman who lost their lives were caught on the fourth floor of the factory and in descending a 24- inch wide fire escape, were overcome by smoke Others in that section of the building climbed down by the fire escape. It is presumed that the woman was i'll and her husband was assisting her below, little thinking of the danger.
 The climax to the case came when Haven produced evidence that five days before and three days after the ire he was at Sackett's Harbor. visit ing a brother who had enlisted in the

MINER REPORTS SEEING
 CAMEL ON THE DESERT
(From Fridays Daily.l

So long as a HasSayamper Of the 60 era stays on this side of the range, SO long will the hackneyed camel story continue to receive a lit tie embellishing by being revived into an actual reality for the present gen eration to grasp and wonder at
 That there remains at least one member of the camel tribe still wan dcring over the desert region, was stated yesterday by James Mcclure, who arrived from the Short Horn mountains of Yuma county, and whose statement must be accepted, in view of his vcracity not being ques- toned. He states that he saw this critter lettering along Dunn's Wash, and as to its identity there could be no doubt It moved slowly and when 1t discerned a human form gallopcd into a side gulch and disappeared in a few minutes. McGuire and his partner, Tom Clunie, made no effort to run t down, and treated the incl dent with little concern, having heard from other miners that some camels were still roaming that region.
 The animals were brought into Arizona in the late eos for military purposes, but proved useless. Later they were turned loose and every body took a hand in utilizing them, but without success. While in Ari- zona they were in charge of Hi Jolly. an Arabian, and Greek George, both of whom brought the band across the Atlantic and figured in handling them in this country. This is the first time one of these camels has been run onto since the auto race of three years ago from Los Angeles to Phoe- nix, when Billy" Simpson, the mechanician of one of the cars parti- cipating, claimed 10 have seen two grazing near Vicksburg. the matter being given wide publicity at the time in Los Angeles and Arizona papers Both of these camel stunts occurring since Arizona went dry must be weighed by the crcdulous as being absolutely true.

 Returning in the afternoon he found only mass of charred debris, and made the discovery of the origin of the fire by accident, which he at tributed to what is commonly knowI. as the trade or the thief rat. Sprinkled over the ground near the camp were found several matches. It is the be- lief the rats entered the tent and as is their habit to take something away. the can containing the matches was investigated, when it is probable they ignited something therein which caused the fire to occur. Or 1t may have been a block dropped thercfrom to some waste paper on the dirt floor, when the interior was ignited Mir Hood found a small looking glass near the camp, and half a dozen matches, from which latter incident he believes the fire was due as above stated

CIVILIANS MUST NOT
 WEAR U. s. uNIF ORMS
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

Owing to tho fact that the practice of wearing uniforms or parts ot uni forms closely resembling those used in the army or navy las become widespread. the attention of the citi- zens is called to the fact that the statutes expressly prohibit a civilian wearing such costumes. Charles A Harris. in charge of the Los Angeles naval recruiting station, has directed a letter to the newspapers of the southwest bearing on the subject, tho communication being as follows:
 los Angeles, March 4, 1918. ITO the Editor
 Dear Sir:
 "1. There has been many discus sions and inquiries regarding the wearing of uniform or parts thereof by civilians. Below arc some extracts from the laws governing that matter and it is requested that you give pub licity to this in your columns.
 "2. Section l25 of the National Defense Act approved by Congrcs, June 5, l9l6, reads in part as follows
 Sec. 125. Protection of the uni form.-It shall be unlawful for any person not an officer or enlisted man of the United States army, navy, or marine corps, to wear the duly pre- scribed uniform of the United States army, navy or marine corps, or any distinctive part of such uniform, or a uniform any part O. which Is similar to a distinctive part of the duly pre- Scribed uniform of the United States army, navy or marine corps.
 Any person who offcnds against the provisions of this section shall on conviction, be punished by fine not exceeding $500, or by imprison- ment not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment
 B Any person violating this law comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal courts.
 "4 Many people are wearing parts of regulation uniforms. Girls with regulation or very similar blue jacket jumpers and boys with regula- ton blucjackct white hats are very prominent by their numbers. These things are being more strictly invcs- tigatcd now, and all officers and men authorized to wear the uniforms arc under orders to report all violation of this law. Many stores are also selling these goods and advising their customers that they can wear them These stores are also violating this law, and reports are being made daily that will probably bring some un- suspccting offenders into the courts I am sending this letter to all editors with the plea that they put this in formation into their columns, both as a protection to those who are author ized 10 wear the uniforms and to those who are violating the law
 Respectfully.

MIDDLE WEST IS REPRESENTED
 OVER THERE"
FIRST CONTINGENT OF
 DRAFTED HEN MOV TOWARD THE GOAL OF THEIR AMBITION-FIGHT- ING FRONT IN FRANCE.

CAMP FUNSTON. Kans., March H.-The first of the Middle Vests national army men are in the war. Information has been authorized for publication. by army authorities, that many thousands of the drafted men from Camp Funston have moved, some time ago, toward the goal to which they all looked eagerly-the front.
 Because of the voluntary news paper censorship, the dates of depart ure cannot be disclosed Neither can the exact number of men, nor their route or port of embarkation.
 It cannot even be said whether or not they have arrived in France However, the fact that men from all seven states, Kansas. Missouri, Ne braska, South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona are in cludcd, is certain.
 The men have not gone as divi- sion. They have been, or will be used to i'll other divisions more fully prepared. General Leonard Woods S9th division still remains at Funs- ton, where it continues training, and where it will be filled to former strength by incoming drafts.
 The only suggestion of sadness on the occasion of leaving was on the part of the men left behind. It was a time of congratulations, and fare we'll celebrations were held on either hand. Bands played and regiments paraded. Although some time ago, the cheers of the departing boys still echo in the hearts of the fellows left behind. They are left, full of deter mination to show what the boys from the Middle West can do, and going, they left behind an unconquerable determination in their remaining fellows.
 These men arrived in Camp Funs- ton after the tEst of last September Farmers, clerks, mechanics, bankers, students, men from all walks of life, they came, ignorant of a soldiers many duties, and untrained physi- cally. Drills, hikes, practice in for nations, schools of theory and prac- tical training under skilled instruc- tors, have made them trained sol dicrS. Physically they are wonder fully fit. and their discipline is on the "snappy enthusiastic order that makes their final training easy.
 Instructions from crack bayonet men have equipped them 10 meet the Hun hand to hand, and make him seek cover Gas instructions has taught them to don the life saving mask with a speed that will make gas attacks futile. Their machine gunners include some of the crack crews of the new army, and on the rifle range they have learned craftsmanship of no mean variety. In short, they are a different lot from the raw civilians of few short months ago, and they went forth soldiers of whom their states can we'll be proud
 Their training behind the lines at the front should be short. They are among the best, and lack only the finishing touches that they will re- ceive in the training fields of France to make them ready for the baptism of fire that will turn them into sea- soncd veterans.
 In due time, it is expected that the war department will make an an- nouncemcnt of the division or divis- ions to which the Middle Westerners are attached.

COWARDLY HUNS
 PIGMENT RACE HATRED
(From Thursdays OailvO


 Writing from San Diego, Calf, Hugh $. Tate, who made his escape out of Mexico recently. writes to deny rumors of his death, which were published in a newspaper of the above city about five weeks ago, along with the names of three other Americans.
 Mir. Tate states he was near the Tarloc mining camp, north of Guada- lajara, when 1t was attacked by NeXi- can bandits, two Americans being shot and killed. He was examining at the time a prospect four miles away, and on returning was advised Of what had occurred. Fearing an other raid he left as night for the coast, and finally reached port where an American warship gave him refuge.
 Nlr. Tait attributes the killing to German sympathy, and closes the let ter by saving: For Gods sake tell your friends to keep away from in terior Mexico, as 1t IS boiling with race hatred against the American. due unqucstionably to German propa- ganda: there are many Teutons in the country and they are listened to by practically all Mexicans, high and low" MT Tate mined in this sec ton until about six years ago, and will be remembered as being with the Arizona Smelling Company at Hum boldt in the mining department.

SILVER IS HIGHER

(From Fridav.s Daiiv.l

Adviccs from San Francisco per taining to silver prices now prevail ing among banking houses will be of interest to producers in this section, when it is stated from reliable sources that 95 cents an ounce IS freely ad- vanced, notwithstanding eastern quo tationS on a basis of @ cents. Also it was stated that when the quotation in New York was S7 cents San Fran cisco bankers came forward with % cents an ounce.
 The discrepancy in price between the east and west is supposed to be due to manipulating the market, when in reality the coast price was relieved of this trimming-down ten dency, to give the producer full and fair benefits based on steady de mand for the white metal.

Decidedly encouraging reports are heard from the Amulet silver mine, east of. Walker, which has been under development for several months by the General Mines Company of Ne vada. with C. N Brown in charge of operations.
 The main shaft, sunk at a new point. has reached a depth of about POO feet, and in drifting north an ore body has been encountered, of small size, carrying an exceptionally high grade content in silver and ga lena. The main shoot exposed many years ago in original operations is ex- pected to be tapped most any time, when ii is believed the property will enter a high class rating again.
 The Amulet was one or the best known white metal mines of early days in the. county, but suspended when the price of tnis metal declined. The present company n charge is reported to be pleased with the out look and also confident of bringing it back to its former rating.
