Charleston DiStrict
Mining Silver
Many Good Prospects Found in
This Old District

A center of increasing activity,
none of it on large scale but all
holding forth promise of develop
ment of larger Importance, is the
old Charleston district near Fair
bank !.
During the last several months
prospectors and small operators
have been finding more and more
to attract them to the district and
recently there has been hardly
day that E. P. & S. w. trains
from both Tucson and the opposite
direction have not had occasion to
let off interested passengers at the
Charleston station, bound to prop
critics in the vicinity.
Silver is the present main quest
in the Charleston district. Some
very good showings are being oper-
ated on and shipments of ore to
the smelter from the station are
steadily increasing None of these
are large bpt in the aggregate they
make respectable output. Further
back in the Huachucas there is
similarly increasing activity in de-
velopment, having silver produc-
tion as its object.
The Charleston district has long
been looked upon as having the
making of big mine. Explora-
ton has in the past been hampered
by lack of sufficient resources for
the real development of any one
property. Prospectors and small
operators have kept steadily ahead
however, with intermittent devel-
opment and with abiding conf.
dence that some day one of them
would run on to the big thing
strike the right number in the COM
bination and open the safe door to
wealth of mineral. Much the
same situation has prevailed II the
Huachuca range generally
The present price of silver is au-
abling the operators in the Charles
on-Huachuca mountain country
to mine and ship their ore with
very good profit. A good deal 81
metal is indeed being salvaged
from dumps made when the white
metal was low and only the high
grade would be proftably mined
and shipped.

" Cease Knitting "

This order has gone out from
Red Cross headquarters to the
1884 chapters of the organization.
AS a result thousands of women
who have turned out vast quanti-
ties of sweaters, socks, 1nuf1ers,
helmets and wristlets for our SOL
diers and sailors will stack their
needles. There is sufficient quan-
tity in reserve at Red Cross divis-
ion and camp warehouses to meet
the needs of Americas fighting
men in this country and Europe,
and those of the Red Cross com
missions engaged in civilian relief
work abroad.
Knitted articles now in process
of construction are to be completed
as rapidly as possible and turned
in to chapters, which in turn will
ship them to the division ware
house in San Francisco. No more
yarn is to be issued to workers.
More than 100000 knitted
articles were turned. out by Red
Cross workers in the seventeen
months preceding the signing of
the ar1nistice.

Phoenix, Jan. 8.-A message
from G. S. Bilheimer, director of
the United War Work Campaign,
for the southern department, and
who is now in France, has come
to S. E. Lynd, state director of
collections for Arizona, that:
''One of the Victory Huts in
France will be named after the
state of Arizona, because you were
one of the first group of states to
reach its assigned quota in the re-
cent campaign.
A second hut will also be
named after your state because
you secured the highest percentage
of oversubscription of any state in
the union. All of us identified
with the campaign in the southern
department rejoice because of this
honor given to Arizona,
This certainly should give as all
renewed determination to keep up
the standard of Our state by secur-
ing 100 per cent in collecting the
princely sum of 5000, SO free
ly pledged during Our campaign.

Senator Ashurst Brings Matter
Forward in u. S. Senate

Washington, Jan. T. Speaking
in the Senate today in support of
his resolution for acquisition by
the United States, through nego-
tiation with Mexico, Of Lower Cal
ifornia and part of the state of
Sonora, Senator Ashurst of Ari-
zona declared the Mexican govern
ment was unable to control the
territory or protect it from foreign
invasion. Annexed to the United
States, he said, it could be convert
ed into immense agricultural value
by irrigation from the Colorado
River.
Lower California, said the
Senator, is the veriform appendix
of Mexico and the Achilles heel of
the United States.''
The Mexican republic is both
unwilling and unable to police the
peninsula, he added, and is un-
able to resist aggressions from or
settlement by oriental powers
hence a base of supplies or of mill
tary and naval operations, with
comparative ease and secrecy could
be established among the numer-
Gus islands on the Pacific COAST
Enforcement Of law and order in
Lower California, Mr. Ashurst de-
c1ared, is left wholly to a governor
holding over from the Diaz regime
and still independent either Of Car
rama or Villa.
Senator Phelan of California in
terrupted Senator Ashurst with the
-colnmtnt that there is always
danger of acquisition by foreign
powers by purchase or otherwise
by means Of Zimmerman notes or
otherwise Lower California" i"
He added however that he would
not consent to the acquisition of
the peninsula by the United States
except by complete agreement with
Mexico.

inquired whether Senator Ashurst
would apply the principles of self
determination to the territory The
Arizona Senator replied that he
advocated this plan, and had re
ceived hundreds of letters from
residents Of Lower California urg-
ing the purchase.

THE HIGH PRICE OF SHOES

A Chicago man now out of business. the other day received
a letter from Germany making inquiries as to leather. The
Germans want td buy all that he has. That little letter ought
to be an eyeopener. The Germans need leather and they are
going to bid high to get it. We will be up against it for we
will have to bid against them. And when two or more want
the same thing and one of them wants it very, very much,
what will the man do who has the goods?
There is only one cure for such a situation and We have
already many times referred to that. 1t is an embargo. And
the embargo is a refusal on the part of the government to let
any one ship goods out of the country. We should so refuse
permission to export leather. Or WEE should export only such
leather as we can spare when we have supplied our own
wants.
We should have no sentiment in this matter. 1t is not our
fault that Germany is short of leather and it is not cur fault
if for a few years they have to get along on wooden shoes, as
the French are doing and as they always have done, for thai
matter. Why should we worry if the Germans have to go
bare footed for a while? That would be serving them about
as they expected to serve the civilized world. In any event
we should not permit them to drain this country of leather
and pay two or three and more prices for the shoes that we
wear ourselves.

4MAKINc THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

II is a somewhat pitiful spectacle that the sena'e " Ms
United States. composed of two men from eacn s'a'e' ooso
by the people and coordinate with the presioeh. ~ ueasy
making and. other powers, should be compe1ed 10 Deg = ae
papers and the information upon which 1T can act I'M WIN
ont which it cannot act unless it consents to become a mere
automaton. The other day the senate had to pass a resolution
asking for the privilege of seeing a pohsn treaty 'os .o
president had signed for the United States almost SIX monuns
ago. Of course, as a treaty it has no binding force uhai ~ Is
approved by the senate, but it is an understanding u sone
kind and our foreign allies do not always understand "A
intricacies of our home government. And IL is supposeu " ne
"tiedn to the league of nations and the treaty with Germany.
And after the matter has stood long enough the Presioen'
will make the plea that it would be humiiating to have the
senate undo his doings. He has followed the idea OF giving
them a little information at a time and a treaty at a time
as a sort of a task for them to do under him as Inc schooi
master. In short he has been trying to make a naughty Doy
if not a monkey out of the senate-and we ought to De hahA-
full for the fact that there is some courage left IN even some
of the senator's for it is almost the only resldlum OIL !eSisia-
tive Independence that we have left on which TO Dulld new
hopes.
The spectacle presented in Washington is certainly an
astounding one. All the boosted open covenants about which
we have talked, or rather about which the president has talked,
have become an international joke and we have mad a III
plomacy that is so secret that even the secretary.of state, Mr.
Lansing, who was one Of the peace commissioners, mas over
and over confessed to the senate committee that ne dld, not
know exactly what was going on at Versailles. IL was IL IN
the mind of one man and in Washington there are doubts
whether it was in his mind concretely or correctly for ne also
has been compelled to admit that he did not know a good

TWO pREpOsTERous PROPOSITIONS

The idea of marking the cost price on every article, which
is advocated by a few alleged statesmen, is somewhat pre-
posterous ON the face of it. What is the cost price and by
whom is it to be determined? How can the farmer mark the
cost price on each egg OF bushel of wheat? Does he know
what it costs his hens to lay eggs? OF course it would be
easier in the matter of manufactured goods, but not as to
others. The cost price of many articles is not easily determ-
ined and at least there could. be endless lying and defraud-
ing in marking such prices. And where would the detectives
come from to ferret out all false cost prices entered? Will
not all the available detectives. be employed in watching the
men who may be trying to evade the prohibitory laws?
No, that will not do it; it would only make more con
fusion and lead to more frauds. Neither will it, do to give the
president, or any one under him, power to fix prices. Ihat
would be reposing too many powers in one man and 1t would
lead to abuses worse than any we have yet suffered from.
There will be other ways and means suggested, but let us
examine each one carefully before we give any sanction to it.

CoNsoLaNG THE Ex-KAIsER

A bill has been submitted to the Prussian cabinet which
calls for the payment of 100000 marks to William Hohen;
zollern as q final settlement for the civil list he lost through
his involuntary abdication. What do the prussian taxpayers
think of that? Are they under any legal or moral obligation
TO pay the former emperor so handsomely, considering every
thing that has happened?
Wilhelm II. took his chances with destiny. He had no re
gard for anybody or anything that stood in the way of his
autocratic ambitions. Now that his selfish purposes have
failed and he is an exile in Holland, he ought to be content If
he is allowed to live out the remainder of his existence any
where. under any reasonable conditions of bodily comfort
To re-establish his personal or family fortunes is something
that neither the Prussian authorities nor anyone else is under
obligations to attempt.

day before this 17O,OO~0,OOO-m proposition goes through
