Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 1.-Re- sumption of operations by mines clos cd down by the miners strike has risen considerably during the last two days, according to reports received here today. Iorty-tive mines through out the state which were tied up at the beginning of the wal1out were report cd working today. This is gain Of ono since Wednesday. M OSt Of the miners are nOn-uniOn and production the aggregate is small, however, and mine union officials declare there has been no break in the strikers ranks.

ARMY COMMISSIONS SOUGHT BY GERMANS
Embassy in Berlin Turns Down
 Applicants, However

Berlin, Nov. 1.-The Spanish en-
 American affairs pending the ratifca-
 tion of the peace treaty has received
 so many applications from regular German army officers who want to serve in the Am merican Army that it
 has posted d big sign on the outcr
 door announcing that such applica-
 tions will not be accepted and that it is useless to apply. The number of applicants since has gradually de-
 creased, but still there are some.
 Some of those seeking comm issions
 in the American Army urged that
 they could be of value in teaching
 the Americans how to fight
 There has been a rush, also, of
 German officers to join former enemy
 or neutral armies. The applicants
 were ready to serve in the American,
 British. Japanese, Argentine or evcn
 tho French forces.
 Every correspondent in Germany,
 regardless Of his nationality. has been
 bomOardod with queries and personal
 applications. Tn vain did they assure
 the officers that their armies would
 under no circumstances accept Ger
 man officers. In vain the explanation
 was made that all of the Entente armies were oNerburdened with off cC-S and were making every effort to dcn1obilize them.
 Argentina has become more or less tho Mecca Of the vould-be emgrants from Germany. because it has adver- tiSed through it's consulate for agri- cultural laDorers and has offered in duceMentS in the way of free land. However, those who want most to leave Germany want least to go 10 farming. For those who really want to take up agriculture, the Argentine invitation is still attractive.
 Others, determined to reach tie United States by a roundabout route, see ir Argentina an opportunity to realize their ambition by first going l to Argentina and then taking . ] chance of going on to the United 1 States.
 Those who contemplate this ruse i overlook the possibility of trouble both in Argentina and the first | American port they reach. A young l German woman sat in a Berlin hotel lobby last night telling her cOmpan- l ions, in q voice loud enough for by islanders to hear that she intended to get to American through Argentina, l if necessary by swearing that she had been in the United States before. She admitted that this was untrue, but added that "a little white lie could do no harm.''
 Many German writers on immigra- ton urge that Germany can ill spare a single man, the taxes he pays or the labor he does. They also point out that hOtel-kcepers of Belgium and Italy have resolved not to employ | Germans for 10 years and that five 1 years must elapse before a Germa T ] may live in China or Singapore. They | declare that the American workmer 1 will oppose German immigration tc 1 the utmost because of the possible l effect on wages and say a similar in ] imical spirit exists in Australia anC l other British dOminiOns.

BURRO TEACHES ITS
 MASTER A LESSON (From Thursdays D2ily.}

Felix Unger arrived Monday from Lower Hassayampa district, and re-
 lated the following experience he passed through last week in a cloud burst:
 "I Was getting ready to cook sup per Wednesday night and heard a rumbling sound behind me. It was wall of water that came tearing down the ravine and 1 got out at a
 lively rate. My outfit was picked up
 like a feather and away it went down to the river about a mile and a half below. No rain was falling, but a few minutes previously hard storm occurred. In about five minutes the deluge ended and the ravine was again dry. l went over the ridge to get my burro, but he was not in sight. The big flow seemed to have split in two, and all l could find of the animal was a part of the rope tied to a limb of the bush. 1 con- cluded that he, too, had been picked uR by the big rush of water, but about half an hour later l found him. He was not dead, but very much alive, standing on a hog back, and when l got in sight he let out a ter rife hec-haw, as if in distress. Now, listen, this is the sequel to that epi- sode:
 The burro criscrossed the forma- ton on the read back to Placeritas and he would not permit me to get within 50 feet of him. Tired out, I finally went to sleep, and the next morning at down the burro was still in sight. When l showed up he let another blast of hee-haws and 1 took after him. Finally we pulled into Jim McGovern's placer camp and the burro stopped until l came up. He threw his big ears 10 the front and looking me in the face gave a few nickers, seemingly to indicate that all was well, and that he had put one over on me. Never again during q summer rainstorm will l stake out that burro in a dry gulch. It looks .o me as if that brute was trying to protest against such a stunt in his actions and movements subsequent to the cloudburst.'

To the Editor of the Journal-AIiner:
 Sir: Please permit a mining man to differ with James E. Bark of Hum boldt. who was prominently quoted in your Sunday paper as being fla vorable' to concrete roads.
 If Mr Bark could visit the east ern states and witness the condition of their concrete roads, he would be advocating bituminous type of con struction for Yavapai county.
 The eastern states after years of expenditure in concrete roads are rapidly coming around to the bitu minous roads throughout, or road with a bituminous surface, the state of New York for instance for the past three years, over 65 per cent of all road construction being of a bituminous type.
 In England, where traffic and pop ulation is dense, there are over 40QOO miles of bituminous roads. and the bulk of all concrete con struction in California is being GOV cred with something to protect it from the pounding of traffic.
 Those favoring concrete construc- ton should investigate the concrete road between Globe and Miami. This concrete laid on solid rock is rapidly going to pieces, and this within three years of its construc- ton.
 If concrete is to be used it is es- sential that it be covered with some thing, as it's hard, brittle nature will not stand the pounding of traffic.
 l am interested as a stockholder in mining property in Yavspai coun- ty, and hope that in the selection of the type of material that the off, cials will carefully investigate bit luminous roads as well as concrete roads. A. F. ROUNDERLING.

SUIT CASES FOR TRAVELLERS A
 NECESSITY

Harry Terrell's regard for "the looks Of things" led him into step that resulted seriously for him, and destroyed what good appearance he had succeeded in establishing, when Sheriff Dav1s took the young Phoe- nix waiter of northbound train yesterday afternoon and incontinently locked him up.
 Prompted by a desire to go east, young man, and grow up with the country, Terrell decided that the re- ports that the Santa Fe main line was severed by the destruction of the HoucI bridge, were false and mis- leading. Hence, ne had no hesitation in starting from Prescott, bound to- ward the rising sun. He wore only pair of palm beach pants and q silk shirt (with accessories, of course) and he believed it would enhance his appearance to be seen carrying at least two pieces of luggage. Since he was employed at place where travellers often stopped, and since travellers frequently carry luggage, Harry picked up a black travelling bag. a ian suit case (both full of clothing and effects) about a dozen boxes of assorted cigarettes, bill fold belonging to man named Rob inson, and according to his late em- ployer. what chicken feed chanced to be reposing in the cash drawer. He put his bill fold and his cigarettes Tn the travelling bag, and without open ing the suit case, boarded the train. One pocket of his flimsy pants was sagging under the weight of dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and

MEMORIAM

These verses are an extract from longer poem by Sharlot M Hall They were rendered by Mrs. Harry Southworth at the memorial service to Yavapai's soldier dead, and their publication has been asked so ire qucntly since that time that they are here given. In memory of our dead! Tine dead
 that lie In near, love-guarded graves, where
 still our tenderness Can reach out like hand across the
 dark To touch the still hands folded close
 in rest. The near, loved dead that were our
 own; That walked with us the busy, com
 mon ways, And made life dear and homely du-
 ties sweet. In memory of our dead! In memory
 of the memories that go Forever with Us, till we, too, shall
 lie With still white faces turned to meet
 the stars. In memory, in hope, in tenderness Rest ye, o well beloved, remem-
 bered dead Peace with you! Ye that do but keep The bivouac till we come. Ye that but wait Us till the march is
 done. Arms stacked and guidons flutterinG Above the camp of our eternal rest In memory! In memory of the dead In tenderness and love for all whc
 live! Peace with you, ye that lie at rest Hope with you, ye that live, and mis: Dear faces gone a hand-width out ot
 sight In memory, in hope, in tenderness!

pennies,
 At the county jail, where he was escorted in answer to telephonic re- quest from the Maricopa authorities, Terrell said he only wanted the lug gage to give tone to his departure, and that he intended sending the bags back from here, the destination of his ticket. Sheriff Davis wanted to see what the baggage contained, so he opened the travelling bag and revealed the clothing the cigarettes and the sundries. But when he went into the tan suit case, he received a surprise that was mirrOrred in the face of the traveller. It contained many articles of feminine apparel, in cluding some of the more delicate garments, rouge, powder, perfumes and the like. Diluting this purely womanly array was a suit of male garments, however. Harry said he was unmarried.
 If your aim was to get these things back to the owners" said the sheriff. We will certainly help you" "

SILVER IS
 SWINGING INTO LINE
(From Thursdays Daily.

Under the -superintendency of J. H. Morrison, the shaping up of the Hidden Treasure silver mine in Groom Creek district for active de- velopment on quite a large scale is now proceeding, and that the com- pany contemplates permanent oper- ations is indicated by new hoist, engine md compressor being fin stalled.
 The plant is now en route and camp utilities are being erected. This property is a south extension of the Monte Cristo, which has been ln ac- ten for several months by w. H. Warrington, who is reported to be making successful determination in new zones, and with which so far as inlications prevail the Hidden Treas ure forms a link in the same min eral system. For many years C. H. Bennett, then sole owner of the Hid den Treasure, conducted individual exploration, and after the white metal rose in price he incorporated spall company among local invest ors, and recently it was decided to go ahead.
 The initial development will be to. continue the old shaft an additional 100 feet in depth. and it is stated production will begin at once.
 The majority of the members of the company reside at Jerome, while Mir. Bennett is at Clarkdale with the T. F. Miller Go. The selec- ton of Mir. Morrison is due to his wide range of knowledge in mining as we'll as his familiarity with the above mineral field.

PRODUCERS BIT IS SHOWN IN
 FARM SUIT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Material for the nationwide probe linto living costs may be available in the figures submitted in a complaint that was filed yesterday for C. B. Spooner against the leasor of a B acre patch of Oak Creek farming lang, alleging that the value of one .half the crops and livestock increase on the said small farm in one season amounted to nearly S4,000
 If not suitable for the H.C.L. in- vestigation. the facts and figures may be of use to the immigration authori- ties to prove the sterling value oi Yavapai county farming lands as a source of rich revenue. At any rate here Is the story as set up in the complaint:
 On February /, 1919, Spooner and Edward Barney, owner of the land entered into an agreement whereby the former was to take over the man agement of the farm with all its as sets, pay for half the seed, plant, cul- tivate and harvest the crops. care for and sell the products of the hennery and the COW barns and divide equally the revenue. While operating the land, Spooner was to have the use for living purposes of all the build ings and equipment
 But the agreement never was full filled. On June II, Barney by force of arms, it is alleged, evicted his co partner, and then set about reaping the reward of the others winter, spring and summer of toll. He has sold and is continuing to sell the products of that farm. Moreover, he has refused to settle with Spooner, either under the agreement or at all For the loss of the living quarters valued by Spooner at $250 for the rest of the season, the plaintiff asks that sum as damages. He wants the court to award him fixed sum, ar rived at by calculating the crop val ues, and on top of this, the costs of his suit.
 Here is the way the complaint as sesses some of the sources of rev enue:
 Nine acres of corn, $500.
 One and a half acres of sweet DO tatoes, 5000.
 Two acres of Irish potatoes, $400 One acre of squash, $lO0
 One-eighth acre of tomatoes, Sl00 Two and a half acres of peachei and apples, $750.
 Seventeen nogs, $250.
 One-eighth acre of onions, SIPS.
 One-sixteenth acre of cabbage $37.5O.
 One-half acre sweet corn, $l0O One acre late sweet corn, SIPS. One acre bearing watermelons cantaloupes, beets, lettuce, beans radishes, cucumbers. squash and other garden truck, $250. Chickens, $50.
 Milk and butter, $2OO.
 Use of the residence, $250. The whole bill is put in at $3,- 942.5O.
 In order that things may be cleared up. Spooner asks for a restraining order, later to be made a permanent injunction, to prevent Barney from further disposing of the crops. Flaw orth and Long represent the plaintiff

 ORE IN WHITE STAR

The Whi,e Spar mine, which IS sit uated four miles southeasterly from the Phelps Dodge Copper Basin holdings, and which was operated in the early days before the advent of railroads in Yapavai county, at which time the ore was hauled by mule .team to Selgman, on the main line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, is again in the producing class. Ed Block, the present owner, re gently gave a 60 days prospecting permit 10 two leasers, with the un- derstanding that at the expiration of 60 days, which time was allowed for prospecting the ground, formal lease would be granted. During this prospecting period the leasers un- covered what has proven to be bonanza silver ore, in the form of brittle silver. black sulpnuret of sil- yer and bromide of silver, conse- quently they demanded their lease on the property on August l.
 A trial shipment of closely sorted ore has just been made to the Amer icans Smelling x Refining Co.,, through their agent, K. II. FIether- ington of Prescott, which gave the following results: 557.06 ounces sil- yer; lead, lOI per cent; copper, 3.7 per cent: iron. per cent per ton. Total value per ton, $553.l8.
 The leasers have Is tons of this high grade ore sacked and expect to have a Acton car load ready for shipment in three weeks, at which time the auto truck road, which is now being put in shape, will be ready for traffic. This car load of 40 tons is expected to net the leasers not less than $6,00O, and possibly great deal more. The ore assays from $ ounces to as high as 1000 ounces silver per ton.
