REPEAL BOUNTY LAW
 ONWILD' ANIMALS
CFrom TnesdaY's DailyO

The bounty law on wild animals has been repealed by the recent legis- lature, and hereafter no legal remun- eration is to be given hunters and trappers, even the destructive noun tain lion being included. So far as those who follow the business are to figure there is no complaint over the abolition of payments for belts, as their business IS not disturbed in marketing
 One hunter who reached the city on Saturday with a big bunch of hides that he sold to a local buyer of an eastern furrier was L. E. CrOXdale, who received $500 for coyotes, $30C for fox, and $2.5O for wildcats. He also had the pelt of a big mountain lion, that brought a special price, above the legal bounty of $10. So long as pelt prices remain high, and the demand continues good, those in the business of hunting are not complaining of what lawmakers have done, as the official market in re- cent months has not been extensively patronized.

HERE ARE HINTS
 ABOUT HOME GARDENS
fFrom Sundays Dally)

The Journal-Miner is not garden expert, nor does it employ any gar den experts regularly, but it is going to help anybody have a garden if il takes leg The paper has tried to cooperate with the governments plan of urging home gardens as means of increasing the food supply and of affording the most heaithful recreation in the world to the peo- pie who work indoors. One result of the publication of several articles on gardening was a letter from Mrs. M. E. Chambers of 115 Willow streel who asks series of questions.
 "l Can vegetables grow in sandy soil:"
 Yes, some kinds, and with certain care.
 2. Does a garden in very coarse sandy soil need fertilizer? If so, what kind3"
 If there is no humus (decayed vc. getable matter) in the soil, there should be a fertilizer. Almost any enriching substance is good.
 B Is it necessary to blow gar den as you would cornfield?"
 No. Spading will do for a sman plot.
 A. How soon must one start to plant:"
 Some vegetables can be planted now. but owing to the rather uncer- tain weather conditions this winter the gardener runs some risk of frost. The only loss. however, would be a little labor and the seed.
 5. Which vegetables grow best in Prescott?"
 The soil and climate here will sup port practically any truck vegeta- bles. Among those that may safely be tried are onions, lettuce, radishes (provided the latter are covered by strips of gunny sack over night cab bagc, carrots, ~turnips, spinach, peas
 Beans cannot safely be planted at this season. To be sure of raising any of the above crops, they should be delayed for a couple of weeks. A trained gardener says that after May 15 there is no danger of killing frosts After that ime, 1t will be safe to set out potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
 Some flowers can be planted now. and almost all the usual kinds cah safely be planted in another six weeks. The court house plaza gar den will be prepared in another month and anybody wno has seen il in past summers knows how success ful 1t is.

ARIZONA BUNCH HIT THE TRAIL
 FOR RICHES
GET OUT OF THE ARMY IN CANAL ZONE AND WILL TRY THEIR LUCK IN FAMED PLACER COUN- TRY NEARBY.
(From Saturdays Dsilyl

George Kneedler, who left this sec ton in July, of 1917, to enlist in the army, preferring service with the 27th Engineers, was accepted at Fl Paso, Texas. but did not reach that com mand. He was stationed for a few months at Galveston. and with oth- CT recruits was sent to the Panama Canal zone. He has been discharged and letter received this week by Lewis Kemper, visitor from Jer- ome, has the following of interest:
 With myself there are five others from different parts of Arizona at Bogota, Colombia, and we have form ed prospecting copartnersnip. Our destination is south into the Oraca range to placer mine, and we pay a state license of S each per month. The royalty is only about S250 on the Sl00 of recovery. All of this is based on national currency, which compared in value to American money is about 50 cents on the dollar We cannot get hold of more than abou. five acres of ground on a running stream of water We also are per mitted to carry firearms. and we have a letter to what may be termed in English a zone master. We stake out the ground and he posts q notice against tresspassing.
 This is the home of the Cibca race of Indians, of which you have read much. Their legends dating back. as far as the discovery of Amer ica are intensely interesting and to this day no one must encroach on their sacred rights by going into cer tain territory. You cannot bribe them into devulging places of riches. and we have seen many of them well fix, ed wearing placer gold ornaments All pieces are blessed, and these na- tives will not talk. At present there are about 40 foreigners, mainly Eng fish, out in the field, but what they are accomplishing cannot be learned.
 We will take a whack at the game until about July, when it Is dangerous to remain in the interior longer on account of insect stings that invariably produce a fever, usu- ally fatal to the white man. This is some chase we are on, and it is worth the game The yellow is here, but to get it IS the job"

MIDDLE CALSS
 ORGANIZES IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Mar. 31.-Members of the great middle class of England at last have taken steps to organize to protect their own interests against the aggressions of capital on the one hand and increasing wages of work men on the other. Leaders of the middle class declare that only by or ganization can they escape an unfair share of the burdens of life.
 English people of education and moderate incomes have felt for some time that they were being ground between the upper and neither mill stones operating in the social mill. Profits of capitalists from war con tracts have increased and the wages of workmen steadily advanced But nobody had to have the services of the professional man, the small busi ness man nor the schoolmaster.
 They felt that they simply made Up a large part of the population whose public duty, it seemed, was to meet constantly increasing costs. of living and tax rates without any cor responding increase in income. It was not until now that they summon ed sufficient courage to give their protests weight by forming the nucle- us of an organization with which both capital and labor may eventual ly have to reaCkon.
 A preliminary meeting was held under the chairmanship of Major J.. R. Pretyman Newman, member of Parliament. It was decided to call the organization the Middle Class Uniono Among the purposes of the union are:
 "To remove undue burdens upon .he middle class, including the cost of living.
 ITO protect the middle class against bureaucratic and industrial tyranny.
 ITO ecombine for common protec ton of those members of the com munity who have no organization to safeguard their interests"
 Letters appearing in support of the union show that many army officers and other soldiers are deeply inter estcd in the movement. One soldier wrote:
 Unless we of the middle classes and combine to thwart and | destroy the anarcnical aggression, of certain communities in the indus trial world we will sooner or later be Bolsheviked out of existence.
 How the Middle Class Union will be received in the political field by the capitalists and the trade unions which now monopolize it, remains to be seen.

BILLY COMER IS
 PEACEFULLY MINGLED
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Additional particulars of the sad
 death of w. L. Conner, at the Bannie
 mine in Lynch creek district, which
 occurred on Saturday evening at
 about eco o'clock, were learned yes
 terday by arrivals from the camp, who stated it was due to an unusual accident, by mine timber of 6x8 inches and five feet long, that sup ported portion of the platform, breaking i'll two. The unfortunate mining man, with Theodore Lamber- tine, was engaged in replacing old
 shaft timbers with new ones about twenty feet below the collar of the shaft and when the cross timber gave way supporting the platform Conner was near the center of the double compartment shaft and fell below 80 feet to the 100-foot station where the trap door was shut and his death occurred instantly. Lambertine was at the side of the shaft at the time and when the crash came he had presence of mind to grasp a rung of the ladder with one hand to hold himself until the other hand could clutch a timber which saved him. The platform contained heavy weight in tools, timbers and muck, which oc- counts for the support to the plat form giving way Lambertine at once descended to the station below,

He has beel. in the military remount service foy over a year, and such life of inac- tivity was sorely disappointing. His reputation as a range expert somehow preceded him and he was "cut out" of the command as a critter to do the job at a slow cantonment.
 He says: "I wanted to go over, but they wouldn't stand for the stuff. The equine family was my assign ment, and l broke many of 'em for military, wagon bauling and slow of ficers. The nearest I got to the fir ing line was in passing the Statu, of Liberty, when we were ordered to hit the trail for back home. It was more hoss work and the groom ing" l received Is enough of army life for evermore."

WILTON KING, OF JEROME, GETS SIDE TRACKED OVERTHERE AND SAYS HE HAS GOT ENOUGH.
From Tuesdays Dailyl

Mrs. Maude Gurney, now Tn the city from Vulture to remain for the sum- mer, has received the following letter from ner brother, Wilton King, who volunteered for military service while working as an apprentice machinist at Jerome:
 TOSIE, France, Feb. 2S. Dear Maude:
 Here it is the last of February, and thank God it is going to be my last month in this country. I have been stationed in this village out of Sedan, in transfer duties, and it is a sick ening job. It is not what went in for. but one in the service can't breatfie loud or else it IS made all the harder. The bright and happy days were when I met bunch Of the 27th Engineers, five of whom I knew at Jerome. Also heard of Judge Smith, in Y work, and he had fine name. The worst feature of this life is in not having a friend to talk to. Might as we'll be alone on top of Min gus mountain. When I hear of an Arizonan 1t is satisfying as far as it goes, but back into the old lonely groove again to only wish for some one to show up and say "hok."
 "You can have all of the foreign country you want. but it rubs off in a short time, and one wants to get out. That's me right now.
 Have been informed by tne quar- termaster that I will be detached, that is sent back, to report It means that l am on the road to a port to sail, so they say. Of course the high up officers have it fine, but we poor devils dig in and grunt so it can't be heard I tell you sister, this glory in for some one else, wears off, and hereafter I am going to shirk to let the amateurs smell the smoke. No more of the foreign country for me. And there are plenty more just like me"
 Since the above letter was written Mrs. Gurney has received a cable gram from her brother that he would sail from Brest, France, on March 26, on the transport Hancock.

been made of its action in sending certain telegrams to Governor Camp bell, the Navapai Chamber of Com merce and others, it asks the privil- ege of placing before your readers the exact wording of the messages which have been used as a basis for the criticisms. The following is a verbatim copy of the message sent to the Yavapai Chamber of Commerce and in it is incorporated the tele gram sent to the Governor:
 "IIolbrook Chamber Of Commerce has wired Governor Campbell as fol- lows:
 We respectfully suggest that the best interests of state will be served by your approval of Senate Bill lS6, unless you determine to call special session legislature for purpose of securing more acceptable highway Bill
 We urgently suggest that your or ganization take similar action"
 "HOLBROOK CHAMBER OF
 COMMERCE."
 There are both democrats and re- publicanS on the board of the Hol- brook Chamber of Commerce, and the above action was taken unanim- Ously by the seven out of nine mem bers present. Further, there are members of the board who are strong personal friends of Governor Camp bell and care was taken to avoid ever the appearance of partisan politics. or of pressure"
 The last clause in the message to the Governor shows that there is no claim that Senate Bill 1S6 is perfect, but it is believed that the necessity for good roads and mitigation of the evils of unemployment for returning soldiers and sailors, as well as civ ilians, is more important than that there should be absolute perfection in the bill by which they may be secured.
 Very truly yours, Holbrook Chamber of Commerce,
