 Long while a corporal of the Sixth cavalry made frequent trips from Camp Mcdowell into that region in scouting after Indians, and afterward while civilian in Prescott continued to SCOUT the same country in search of what he Contended was the cache of a large sum of gold taken from an army paymaster. He was never sue cessful, but continued until his death to make annual expenditure on the four mines in performing assessment work. This IS the second deal to be closed in the above district i'll the past month, and the new operators are new establishing a camp on Couger creek. MT.

The Deglet Moor and kindred varieties of dates can be grown to great advantage here; olives of superior quality, grapes of Euro pean and other varieties and excellent raisins, figs of a sweet, delicate flavor which can be produced only in a dry, warm climate, are safe and profitable on these mesa lands, as are also truck crops, among which special mention must be given to cantaloupes, toma- toes, and sweet potatoes.

 The fact that the herder hastened to Jerome Junction and reported the killing was regarded by many as good evidence of the fact the tragedy was accidental.

 Later, a wire was received from a man named Bremen at the junction, giving the names of Castro and Vas quez and directing the officers how to reach the scene.

MARKET SLUMP

PARIS, Nov. 22.-News from Vi- enna has it that the rapid decline and fall of the Austro-Hungarian mon archy has caused a slump on the rib bon market. Manufacturers of rib bons of the various orders of the former dual monarchy found them selves with large stocks left on their hands, until one enterprising mer- chant hit upon the idea of turning these gaudy bands into mems trouser suspenders. And so the gilded youth of Vienna are wearing the ribbon of Maria Theresa of the Iron Crown or St. Stephen that way, according to individual fancy. Why not?" they say. Tn England they have the rib bon of the Garter. In our democratic country, we wear the ribbon of the Suspender."

 The advocates of good roads are only asking in this national highway bill that the roads should be put on an equal footing with the other de partments of the government, so that they can be given proper considera- ton and study, for there is no other pursuit of the federal government that will develop and bring prosper ity to the country to greater extent, for the money invested, than the speedy improvement of its important highways.
 The Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce in October requested the opinion of the Arizona delegation in congress, concerning this measure Senator Marcus A. Smith has replied that he is in favor of the bill stating There is not a bigger crank on that subject than am, and there is no part of the country that needs good roads more than does our state"
 This important bill, insofar as the chamber of commerce is concerned has been referred to the Good Roads committee composed of T. c. Norris, E. s. Clark and C. E. Gentry.

ARIZONAN MAKES
 OIL CLEANUP IN TEXAS
(From Wednesdav's Dailv. ]

Sam Braning, said to have been at one time a miner in the Jerome field, who removed to Haskell, Texas, about three years ago to work on the ranch of his father-in-law, has amassed fortune in oil lands of over $100000. This news was given a few days ago by an arrival from Jerome, and is said to be authentic. Braning receives his proportion of deal clos ed for over half a million, and 1t is presumed the family shares in this big transaction. Braning's health failed while working in a mine when he was partly overcome by foul air, and concluded to follow an open air vocation, when he left for the above state.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. = The
concurrent resolution offered in the
Senate by Senator Long, the Repub-
lican leader, just before adjournment,
and will be called up Immediately
after the Senate convenes in regular
session in December, which resolution
declares the war at an end, can and
will be vetoed by the President in case
it is passed by both Houses, is an
opinion held by high administration
officials. They cited the constitution
to prove the President has power.
This declaration came as a surprise
to supporters of the Lodge resolution.
They believed that the President had
no authority to interfere with a con-
current resolution, and they thought
that the Lodge measure could be
passed by both houses thus ending
the war without adoption of the peace
treaty. Discovery of constitutional
authority, which hitherto has seldom,
if ever been exercised by the Presi-
dent, is considered a blow to their
plans.

"The Black Secret" is Robert w.

prove conclusively what he himself.
has proved many times before, that
he is as much a master of the en-
crossing, thrilling mystery story as
he is of the smart society novel with
which his name has long been asso-
ciated. Without once resorting to the
bizarre or the impossible, Mr.. Cham
bers has fashioned tale of the most
intensely mystifying and gripping
type. y
In all her long and successful Sc
rial career under the Pathe banner,
Miss White probably has never had
a role that most perfectly fitted her
than that of Evelyn Erith, the hero
inc of "The Black Secret" Her pee
uliar talents for furnishing thrills, for
dominating through sheer personality
all the scenes in which she. appears
without detracting in the least from
the value of the work of her asso-

typically Pearl White in way all
her own, are given the fullest play.
Those who have followed her in her
many Pathe serials will find that she
has taken the utmost advantage of
the possibilities of her best role. "The

MEETING THE new
LAW IN SONORA
IN THE MATTER
OF LIQUOR SALES
How the Tax is Paid on
Those Malt and VinOus
Beverages Permissible;
With Strict Prohibition
Upon Others.

Recently "The Oasis" published a
translation of the new law in Sonora
under which sales of table wines,
champagne and beer are permitted.
AS framed the law gives the state
and municipalities strict control of
the traffic, and there are officers
who are charged strictly with enforce
ment. All beverages permitted have
to be prepared at all times to show
that the tax has been paid, and
liquors prohibitd (having more than
6 per cent alcohol), are prohibited en-
tirely, cannot be licensed, are sub
ject to seizure wherever they may be
found, and when seized they are de-
stroyed.
Payment of the tax on table wines,
champagne and beer, which tax is
quite heavy, is assured by the state
or municipality going to the jobber
and collecting the tax, and in turn
he charges it over to the retailer.
who buys his goods with the tax paid,
and there is no opportunity for
evasion or jobbery.
The foregoing was learned incl
dentally by "The Oasis" yesterday,
when a local reporter dropped into
the warehouse of the Sonora and
Sinaloa Commission Company, on
Gale Elias, in Nogales, Sonora, and
there found the help of the establish
ment preparing for delivery in guam
titles to meet the requirements of GUS
toners large consignment of wines
and beer just imported to meet the
demands of the trade. There were
several barrels of wine-claret, sau-
terne, port and sherry-which were
being drawn into glass containers
holding one gallon each, two gallons
or five gallons, and the beer was al
ready packed in cases that hold a
couple of dozen bottles each.
The wines are from the best vint-
ages of California, and they are of
fine quality; the beer is from the
Cuahutemoc Brewery at Monterrey
Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
The Sonora and Sinaloa Commits.
sion Company has arranged to meet
this legitimate business, provided by
law in the state of Sonora; and they
will carry nothing that is prohibited
by law, while what they do carry anc

the few wells left undestroyed, only
one could be used. The others had
been deflled by the Germans and the

either. One suggestion could be TO
deposit with the Building and Loan
Association the money now in the
sinking fund which amounts to
$4,000.
Then deposit with the Association
$4,000 annually for period of twelve
years, which would amount to $780,
600.
Total to place with the Association,
$4,000.
Leave this money with the Associa-
ton and the Association will pay off
the bonds when they become due, or
will give to the city the $4,000 in
the year 1941. In this way the city
could pay the debt of $4,000 with
$4,000, thereby saving $55,OOO as
against the city's present plan of
handling the sinking fund money.
Another proposition would be for
the city to deposit with the Associa-
tion $4,000 annually for eleven years
which would total $4,000. Leave this
sum with the Association and more
than $4,000 would be ready to re-
deem the bonds when they became
PAYABLE. This would show a saw
ing to the city of $4,000 over its
present method. Covering a longer
period of time and making it cores
pondingly easier for the taxpayer
would be to place with the Associa-
ton $4,000 annually for fourteen
years. This would aggregate $67 Zoo
and with the Association would easily
accomplish the redemption of the
bonds and result in saving of $45,'
600 actual money as against the man
ner in which the city is now proceed
