BLACK-DRAUCHT A
 FAMILY MEDICINE
Some Kind of Stomach Trouble With Cramps and Terrible Pains Made This Oklahoma Mans
 Life Miserable Un-
 til Black-Draught
 Relieved Him

Chickasha, Okla.-Mrs. J. W. Walker recently said this: We use Black Draught as a family medicine and think it is the only liver medicine made. My husband makes it up and uses it as a tonic as we'll as a laxative. I use it for headache, sour stomach, full, heavy feeling after meals, which I suppose is indigestion, and it certainly does me a lot of good.
 My husband had some kind of stom- ach trouble-we don't know just what It would strike him just any time in the day and cramp or pain him just ter ribly bad Someone told him how to make a tea of the Black-Draught, which he did. It did him so much good, it re- moved the cause and cured him. Since then we have praised the Black -Drausht
 to our friends, and gladly do so" Seventy years of successful use has
 made Thedford's Black-Draught a
 standard, household remedy Every
 member of the family at times needs the
 help that Black-Draught can give in
 cleansing the system and preventing or
 relieving the troubles that come from
 constipation, indigestion, lazy liver, etc.

 Belgium has sacrificed everything else in the giant struggle. and by go- ! ing down in glorious defeat it has made possible ultimate victory for all. But after the fearful losses it has un-

Hence the organization of this flower day movement. under the ] high patronage Of Queen Elizabeth of , Belgium. She has herself selected the forget me-not a spray of which is sold for 10 cents. The flower is not mere tag, but worthy souvenir of great and far-spreading charitable work. The funds thus secured are sent directly to the queen, who gives her personal attention to their dis tribution. so that they may reach the most needy.
 Amongst the principal organizations receiving share of the funds are 10 be mentioned the hospitals for tuber- culars. nurseries for undernourished babies, orphanages for waifs who lost their parents or whose relatives are gradually being traced by a bureau of Identification, and last but not least liit Hei V liS ol d square HoOuudy lncal l to all the children attending tie pub lie schools. consisting of a plate of nourishing sonp and a slice of bread. Hundreds of thousands are thus bene- fitted daily and brought slowly back to normal conditions. for the children of today will he the toilers of tomorrow, upon which war-torn Belgium relies to regain the same position she once occupied amongst the prosperous na- tions of the world.
 The first forget mot day held was in Washington, D. C., the work being directed by Mrs Lansing and Mrs. Hoover. The entire stock of more than 10000 flowers was sold in one hour, netting s6,500. Since then a number of other cities and states have organ ized such days with the following re- suits: New York. 1000; Chicago, s60,000; Minneapolis, s1o,000 Cincin- natl, S23.000; Boston, $24.000; Califor- nia $40 Omaha, s15,000; St. Louis. sA2000; Sioux City. 13,000: New Or leans $13000. Wherever the flower was sold there was immense success. The plight of poor ill-nourished chil- dren of valiant Belgium apeals to the hearts of all.
 We will celebrate forget -me-not day pected that Birmingham people will contribute most liberally.

MAGMA CHIEF LOOKS
GOOD TO SNOWDEN

A letter mailed stockholders of the
Magma Chief Copper company by s.
l.. Snowden New York stock brok-
er. contains the following information
which he says he regards as reliable:
Work is progressing rapidly and
satisfactorily On the Sornbrero Butte
properly of this company. The new
shaft is down 240 feet. At the 120
foot level, tunnel has been driven
to connect the shaft with the surface
which was made possible by the steep
slope CT the hill in which the shaft
stands. This tunnel encountered q
good grade OF carbonate ore forty feet
from the shaft. This tunnel was con-
tinued from the new shaft for dis
tance of % to 80 feet, to a point I'M
derneath the old IS foot shaft, and a
raise was put up and connections
made with the old workings. The
same high grade CT ore was encoun-
tered here as that found in the old
workings. A station has been cut at
the 220 foot level and that, as we'll as
the shaft, is in good milling ore. At
the 240 foot level, the same high
grade of ore was struck, averaging
18 per cent copper that was encoun-
tered in the upper levels, which
proves the increasing width of the
high grade ore with depth. A con-
tract has been let for transportation
of the ore to the smelter at Hayden
and two motor trucks installed. The
ore shipments are averaging from 16
per cent to % per cent copper, with
to ounces in silver per ton, hav-
ing a value of from $75 to $50 per ton.
One car or more per week can be
shipped Of these grades, if to the
best interest of the company, mostly
from development work, leaving the
lower grade ore in the dump for fiji
ture concentration.
The management is increasing the
working force which, with increased
development, will materially augment
the production. AS "a result of the
development work so far completed.
il looks as though Magma Chief will
be one of the large, high-grade cop
per producers, and confidentially ex-
pect the Maga Chief stock to sell at
several dollars per share in the course

HAYDEN Sth6l'ss !y9RD THAT No
ASSESSMENT N0hlai PASSES HOUSE
Bill Now Goes to Senate for Consideration and if Passed.
Will Do Away with Annual Work on Claims for 1919.
Limited to Five Claims Each Prospector.

Hon. Carl Hayden, member of con.
gress from Arizona, has furnished the
Copper Camp with copy of a con.
gressional joint resolution the purpose
Of which is TO suspend the require
ments of annual assessment WORK on
mining claims during the year 1919.
The resolution was passed by the
house OF representatives on July 81
and Is now pending in the senate. 1t
is similar to the law enacted by con.
gress in 1917 and 1918, granting ex.
emption, except that the new law pro.
Vides that no such suspension shall
be granted to any one claimant for
more than five claims" The joint res
oution also applies to oil placer loca-
tions, which was not the case in pre-
vious years
In considering the bill in the house,
the committee to which it was re-
ferred held a four-day hearing. At
the hearing number of western min
ing men appeared before the commit
tee in favor of the resolution and only
two against it.
The committee recognized that there
might be two different phases pre-
sented in the effect of this resolution
one OF which is saving to the pros
pector of his claim this year because
OF his inability to make his assess
ment work, and the other is that de-
velopment work on these claims
would not continue, and the commun.
ity possibly lose the benefits accruing
from the work of individuals and their
needs while on their claims.
There is no doubt that because Of
the war those who went into the serv.
ice of the country have not yet all
returned to the communities that they
left, and in addition to this a large
number of persons answered the call
for employment in shipbuilding, am
munition works, and other industries
that required help to supply the wars
needs.
Large numbers of these men have
not yet returned to their homes, as
they are still following the pursuits
in industry that they took UP then.

ESCAPES FROM STATE PRISON
CAUSE COMMENT OVER STATE
Marcopa Railroad Watchman Takes Convict Pursuers to
Be Suspects and Holds Them in Custody While Real
Men Make Escape

Escapes and runaways from the
state prison have caused considerable
annoyance to the authorities there
and appear to be occurring with ire
quency. The Copper Camp would not
like to think that Superintendent
Powell has permitted a laxness 10
creep into the institution, We also
disagree with some who are inclined
to spread the rumor that the prison
guards are the best customers of the
bootleggers who are able to evade the
: eyer watchful eye of Sheriff Hall and
his deputies. Possibly it is just
coincidence that the escapes and es-
capades down at Florence have all
come in a bunch.
Last Saturday evening, George Darl-
ing, convict at the state prison, who
was out on honor, broke into Heinie
Shewel's garage and took new Dodge
car and made his getaway. He got as
far as Dripping Springs Wash, when
it. He is supposed to be making his
way to Miami where he has friends,
and the authorities are watching all
roads leading to that town in the hope
of apprehending him before he reach,
es the protection of his friends.
On Wednesday night a man named
McDaniels and a convict whose name
has not been ascertained, but who had
flaming bright red hair, escaped from
the prison. They took Neal Comets
car in making their getaway. Howard
and John Powell took up the trail and
followed them to Casa Grande, arriv
ing at that village just as a freight
pulled into the depot On the freight
: they caught sight of a red-headed man
who did not seem to be a part of the
train crew, so the Powell boys swung
out for Maricopa, and rode to that sta
tion
On their arrival there, they tried to
enlist the assistance of the railroad
watchman, but that individual, unfor-
tunately, took them for suspects, and
considered for the time being locking
them in the calaboose He failed to
do so, however, but he held them in
the waiting room at TIE station till the
