LOCATION RELIC RECALLS DAYS
 LONG GONE
(From Sundays daily;

"The Anvil" one of the first To- cated mines in this section, which bears the name of George Berry, as the original owner, in the weather beaten notice retained by Samuel Wadsworth, is to be operated on quite an extensive scale, an option deal having been closed yesterday. The new operator is Daniel II. Lock cit, who wired from Aspen, Colorado, his acceptance of the conditions, verb. ally agreed to some months ago. The Anvil is situated near the old Orc Fino placer camp, and was relocated by Mir. Wadsworth over eight years ago, when he performed limited work, later leaving for the Ray field
 Returning over three years ago he found the property still open, and two years ago he performed annual title work. The annulling of this law was advantageous to him in 1918, and iu August of that year he returned to start development. Mir. Lockett then looking over the country, and tenta tive verbal deal followed. The old location notice date seems to be part ly obliterated, but it was some time in the early '70's when Mir. Berry ac- quired the mine. The values are gold, and the paystreak is in a black oxide of iron, six inch vein of which lies on the hanging wall. Pannings from the property vein matter give gold colors. The old location notice had been stored away in a sardine box, and was found by Mir. Wadsworth under one rock of the two that made up the location monument. The ori- ginal color of the paper had evidently been blue. MT. Berry passed away many years ago in this section, and within a short distance of where his Anvil mine was located.

 STATUS OF CON. ARIZONA
(From Sundays Daily.)

'
 Passing through the city yesterday for the coast was Geo. M. Colvocores ses, manager of the Consolidated Arizona, who when asked of condi- tions generally in mining and reduc- ton, stated emphatically that the payroll at the Humboldt plant had been reduced less than so per cen, since the slump in copper, and now numbered over 400 employees in all departments.
 This statement will refute report, being circulated that the company had made big cut in mine employ ment while bullion output had been similarly affected. The present stat us of the Consolidated was to be maintained, while the Blue Bell and the DeSoto coppers are to be kept in action. The only loss sustained ot any extent in reduction has been that Of custom patronage, which followed the decline in price.
 Considering all things incidental to the copper crash in many other sec. tions of the county and the state, the Consolidated by practically maintain ing it under adverse conditions, is highly commended.

He would also be pleased to talk to any man whether he wishes to enlist or not. He has literature regarding the navy which is written by men under oath who are sworn to represent things as they actually are. This literature is well worth reading sim ply for the facts and knowledge con, taifed therein.

 ANOTHER SOLDIER MAN
CFrom Thursdays DaiIy.)


 Although he had the misfortune to be severely wounded in action over seas Lllwellyn Wills, son of Mir. and Mrs. James Wills, of Maxton, had the satisfaction of performing good work on the firing line, and on arriving in Prescott yesterday was extended a warm welcome home by many friends. He came from Camp Travis, Texas, where he had been under treatment in a military base hospital, coming overseas as a casual.
 He modestly recounts his thrilling experience, when with the 340th Field Artillery his battery was badly punished, and it was while others were falling he also received the dan gerous wound. His health again is normal and he returns to civil life to begin over where he left off. He states that as strange as it may seem he never met his brother, Harry, in all the long service abroad, but he has learned since the armistice was signed the latter is in Germany. Dur. ing his long absence Wills complains of having received but one letter in seven months, although a score were written by relatives and friends.

SOLDIERS SHOW
 INTEREST IN LANE IDEA

 Evidencing the widespread and gen. eral interest taken in the plan sug- gested by Honorable Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the interior, for furnishing employment and farm homes on reclaimed land for soldiers sailors and marines, one thousand names of men have been taken at random from inquiries received by the department of the interior rela- tive to the matter. Following is a list of names from Arizona and New Mexico included ill the thousand names:
 Arizona.
 C. F. Belles, Globe,
 Terry Deal, Box 97, Glendale. Chester A. Fant, Cashion.
 T. E. Franzen, R. R. 2, Tempe. James B. Lang, 7lO s. Central Ave Phoenix.
 Isacc NJ. Mason, Phoenix
 Jesse H. Stuart, Wilcox.
 New Mexico.
 John M. Dickerson, Cliff
 William M. Fahrlender, Elkins. John Eyra Grantnam, Caprock Ignacia Lopez, Maxwell.
 Albetr R. Lucero, Mills. Victor Ray Warner. Box B, East Vaughn.
 Carl Herman Zimmerman, 311 w. Copper Ave Albuquerque.
 A tabulation of these thousand in- quiries show that 442 percent of the men were engaged in farming at the time of enlistment; that S8.4 percent were either so engaged or had prev ious experience in farming: and that of those who were engaged in some other occupation than farming at the time of enlistment, 80 percent had had previous experience in farming. In making up the tabulation as to what kind of farming the men wish ed to follow the first type mention ed was given preference as the mans choice. The result shows that 58 per cent of the men chose general farm ing: 27.6 percent livestock, 7.2 per cent truck, and 7.2 percent fruit. The preference as to the locality in which the men would like to take jobs shows that AIS percent would work in their own state, or in some state specifically names, and that 525 percent would work anywhere in the United States.
 The following is a typical letter of inquiry taken from the thousand: Camp Hoolabird, Md, Feb. 10, 1919 Hon. Mr. Lane,
