nishmen began singing their song
about Trelawney. So we made out
that we did not know such a thing as
q German ever lived.
We got better acquainted with Ger
man splitting later on. and believe me,
they are great little spitters, not much
on distance or accuracy, but quick in
action and well supplied with ammu-
milton. Splitting on prisoners is the
favorite indoor and outdoor sport for
Germans, men and women alike.
When the show was over. they
rousted us up on deck and put us to
work throwing the salt pork and can
ned goods into two German mine-lay-
ers. While we were at 1t, a Danish
patrol boat came out and tied along
side us, and some of her officers came
aboard and saw Us. They knew we
were prisoners-of-war, and they knew
that vessel carrying prisoners-of-
war must not remain In neutral wa
tiers for over twenty-four hours. but
they did not say anything about 1t.
That night two men named Barney
Hill and Joyce. the latter q gunner
from the Mount Temple. sneaked up
on deck and aft to the poop deck.
There was pair Of wooden stairs
leading to the top Of the poop deck,
and Joyce and Hill lifted 1t and got
1t over the side with rope to 1t. The
two of them got down into the water
all right. but Joyce let out a yell be-

warm clothing and supplies of every
kind, they are prepared to give that
doughty old warrior the laugh.
If the shades of those soldiers Of
Napoleon's army who perished on the
historical retreat from Moscow are
still in Russia they must be amazed
at the extensiveness of the arrange
ments that have been made to safe
guard the allied fighting men now In
that country. Long before the soldiers
reached Russia the allied governments
had completed arrangements for their
arrival, the experience of four years
of caring for vast forces of men under
all sorts of conditions, added to the ex-
pert knowledge of military men famil-
lar with the requirements of Rus
sian campaign, making 1t possible to
provide for every conceivable contin-
gency.
Red Cross Sends Supplies.
Directly In the wake of the soldiers
snd supplementing the efforts of the
allied governments In their behalf fol-
lowed the American Red Cross with
reserve stocks of foods and supplies
and the comforts that fighting men
have come to expect from the Red
Cross. Two shiploads of supplies of
all sorts provided by the American
Red Cross reached Archangel late In
September, one vessel, the Ascutney,
which left America. carrying 1900
tons of food, drugs, soap and miscel-
laneous articles; the other. British
transport, loaded In London, having
on board 200 additional tons Of sup
plies. Not satisfied with providing
this amount Of reinforcement the
American Red Cross continued to
transfer supplies from London to
Archangel, allied war vessels keep
Ing the harbo- at that point open for
the supply ships to enter. The build
ing up Of the reserve supply stocks
has been discontinued, officers in
charge of the expedstionary force hav-
ing expressed the opinion that every
possible emergency has been provided
for.
The cargo carried by the Ascutney
was valued at $1.02503a. A glance at
the immense quantity and the wide va
riety of foodstuffs on the list will
make it clear that the American boys
are not going to lack proper nourish-
ment this winter. Some of the items
in the Red Cross cargo follow:
Sugar. $4,000 pounds.
Chocolate, $4,000 pounds.
Cocoa, $4,000 pounds,

Badewitz, who began mauling him be-
fore the sentry even had told his
story. After a while Badewitz quit
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put a note in the dixie before he
dropped 1t, so they beat him up again
and put him in irons. After that they
sent the rest of the cooks back, and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty of canned goods and
meat aboard. but they would not give
us any.
Five of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad
every minute, and 1t was a terrible
place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal
underfoot, coal-dusty air to breathe,
body-filth everywhere. Some of the
crazy men howled like dogs. But we
were not as much afraid of these as
we were of the others who kept still,
but slipped around in the dark with
Jumps Of coal In their hands. We
got so we would not go near each
other for fear we were running into a
crazy man. Those of US who were
sane collected as near the fiddley as
We could, and we would not let the
others get near us, but showed them
back or SHE'D Jumps of coal at them.
And every once in while some one
of us would begin to act queer. May
be he would let out howl suddenly,
without any warning. Or he would
Just quit talking and begin to sneak
around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We could not tell
just when a man had begun to lose
his mind. He would seem just like
the rest Of us, because none Of Us was
much better than a beast.
We could not take turns sleeping
and standing watch against the crazy
men. because when we talked about
1t. we agreed that none Of us could
tell whether or not the sentries would
go crazy while on watch and have the
rest Of US at their mercy. 1t was aw-
full to talk about going crazy In this
way. and to figure that you yourself
might be the next and that 1t was al
most sure to happen II you did not
get some sleep soon. But 1t was worse
to find man near you going. and have
to boot him out with the other insane
men.
The days passed like that. with
nothing to do but suffer, and starve
and freeze. 1t got colder and colder,
and all we could wrap ourselves In
was the coal. We began to speculate
on, where we were. 1t was not till
later than an old skipper in our bunch
told us that we had rounded the north
ern coast Of Iceland.
Finally, one day, lad yelled down
"Land" and we all dove for the I'D
dley like wild men. and those who
could get near enough looked out. and
sure enoughI there was the coast Of
Norway. very rugged and rocky. and
covered with snow. We thought 1t
was all over then, and that we would
be landed at Bergen sure. Then there
was the usual running around and
yelling on deck, and we were not SO
sure we would be landed, and very
suddenly 1t got colder than ever.

In the Jutland battle or not. Finally
we landed at Swinemunde just - the
bells were ringing the old year out
and the new year In. We were fine

They mustered us up on deck. and
each Of us got cup Of water for our

This ability to readjust themselves

Preparations Made In Advance.

[ shall try to be brief, but there
is q lot to say on this very impor-

Wickenburg.
believe it is for the best interests
Of the largest number Of the patrons
of the school and by far the largest
number Of the children that attend
the school, both from an economic,
convenient and social point Of view
for the school to remain where it is.
Some Of these reasons [ will at
tempt to set forth in a few brief
paragraphs. But first let us have
description of the size, location and
boundaries of the present school site
with the proposed new additions OF
land
We now have plot Of land where
the school house stands 200x200 feec
and in addition to this the school
trustees have an option on the Yer
duga property, in front of the pres
ent school property, and two lois

this the city council will De asked
to close from the public two unim-
portant alleys and give the grounu
embraced therein to the scnoo1 dis
trict. This will give US solid plot

wards Sauls wash to stake; thence
east 260 feet to stake thence south
$50 feet to a stake on North Second
street; thence 113 feet to the place
of beginning. This will give US q
frontage of 113 feet on North Sec
ond street and 214 feet frontage on
Tegener street on the Prescott road
This plot Of land is ideally ane
centrally located for a school site
healthful, clean, sanitary and with
high water pressure, which is a great
advantage in case of fire.
If the voters will choose this place
to put the new proposed buildings

be more representative Of the tax
able property, as four-fifths of the
taxable property is on this side of
the track and the balance is likely to
grow more so, as the farms and
ranches are developed along the
river
The new building can be admir-
ably placed in front and to the east
of the old one on this site and have
plenty of room in the front yard for
grass, trees and flowers, the growth
and culture of which should be en-
couraged by the school patrons.
On this plot of land in the rear Of
the buildings there will be ample
room for play grounds, gymns and a
baseball diamond.
The roads by this site are hard and
very little dust flies.

a distinct advantage is the approxf-

utilized for grazing by few stock
and sheep men.
Mr.. Booths high opinion has been
corroborated by other expert ge
ologists, which is considered incon
tro7ertible evidence that petroleum
exists in this locality. This conclu
sion is quite natural, seeing that
Phoenix promoters have never been
considered very enthusiastic on any
thing except cotton and canteloupes;
in fact, it is an old axium that to
do business in Phoenix, the pro-
moterS must have a "cinch" propo
sition akin to marked cards in a
poker game. But the actual posi-
bilities of the Home and Flores
locations are almost beyond ordinary
Comprehension in dollars and cents.
The Flores company represents
128 Phoenix investors who were
pledged to an expenditure of over
-$400 each; the Home company rep
resents a substantial concern ranking
equally as high and it only remains
to send drill down into the sands
which all geological deductions seem
to demonstrate as existing in this
locality and only waiting to be
tapped.

WICKE NBURG OIL DEVELOPMENT BEGUN
Dragon Mining and Development Company Preparing For
Immediate Producton-Lost On the Desert.

For several weeks carload upon
carload of machinery, lumber and
supplies have been arriving here for
the Dragon Mining company, which
is spending thousands of dollars in
new equipment and installation at
their mine, located about eight miles
east of Wickenburg.
Mr.. H. Hertz, a prominent realty
man of Los Angeles, was IN the city
on last Friday enroute to Kansas
City, and from him it was learned
that the new activity at the mine in
cludes installation of new Cameron
sinking pump, compressor and gen.
orator for electricity which is to be
the performing energy for light, heat
and power for both mill and mine.
The new mill equipped includes a
large Prolaski crusher, roll mill, with
classifier and agitator, amalgamatlng
table, Whitley and Deistrom concen-
traitors, sinner and rOugher, etc,
all set in cement foundations. The
mill occupies a space of 60x90 feet
and is about completed. The COM
pany were fortunate in developing
water sufficient to run the mill and
all camp purposes, including restau-
rant building, dwellings for miners,
superintendent house and thor
Oughly equipped assay house.
It is planned to start the mill in
side of two weeks on ore that has a
high percentage of yenadium with a
good showing of gold and silver val
ues. The company has spent three
and a half years in development of
this property and has done over 1900
feet of tunnel, crosscuts and drifting,
besides shaft work The shaft, a
substantial double-compartment one,
is now down 260 feet which will be
continued down to 1000 feet, for
which new engine and hoist have
been added, besides the compressor
and six machine drills, which Will
facilitate work after modern mining
methods
The promoters of this new mining
activity are mostly all Los Angeles
investors headed by James G. Scar
borough, prominent attorney of
that city; Felix L. LaForce, a re
tired business man of Kansas City;
Herman Hertz, real estate dealer OF
Los Angeles, and Harry N Watson,
former director of the Continental
National bank Of Los Angeles. Mr.
H. L. Deitcher, one Of the original
owners of the Dragon, will still re-
main as general manager and direct
ing head of affairs at the mine and
mill.
