We, the members of the Dundee

loyalty co-operated with us, may be
interested in a report of what we

GOOD SIZE NUGGET
 FOUND BY ACCIDENT

Producing q gold nugget valued at approximately SIS, J. T. Foster, an arrival yesterday from the lower part of Hassayampa district, stated he had purchased the piece from Mexican placer miner named Velasquez, and that 1t had been recovered from a gulch about six miles east of Octave. The discovery was an accident.
 The Mexican was driving three burros and in keeping them on the trail headed in a certain direction he went above one and in picking up a rock to throw at 1t to keep it on the trail his eye caught the yellow piece much to his surprise.
 Afterward the Mexican returned to that place with his dry washer and made cleanup of over $60 in smaller nuggets. He is still working the gulch, but with what success was not learned. Mir. Foster comes from Oatman, and was in the country to sample a gold mine, a deal pending;

 Col. Iount's military career dates back to over thre6 yearsago, when he volunteered for medical duty with the old first Arizona, then station ed on the Mexican border his com. mission being that of Captain. He served in that assignment over q yea; later being transferred with his com mand to Camp Kearney, where the First Arizona received its perman- ent designation as the 18th after war with Germany was declared. The command was sent overseas, and was held in reserve when the final drive was initiated, this action being due. it is reported by high military sources to its exceptionally fine training, for use in case of emergency.
 Col Yount has risen to his present high rank step by step through ef- ficiency and not favoritism, and his letters home convey the impression that he could remain in the army with still a higher rank as his reward, but he longs for civil life, which has prompted him to resign, to resume his practice as physician.

 This nutpial occasion was the cul- imitation of Winter resort romance. and its pretty climax is in harmony with a peculiarly happy environment which prevails at Castle Hot Springs, where Miss Hyde had been during the Winter, and where fate had or dained her chosen oneto be the fas- cinating and vivacious personality, and during the season won the af- lection and admiration of many. The groom likewise has become popular ly known, his courteous manners an1 his kindly consideration to guests winning him many friends.

NEW MINING
 BUILDING OCCUPIED

TUCSON, Mar. 13.-With the re- moval of the assaying and ore-dress- ing laboratories and the office of the Dean of the College into the magnifi- cent new Mines and Engineering Building that structure is now com ipletely occupied by the departments
 for which it was planned While a considerable amount of furniture, equipment, and built-in conveniences must still be supplied, these are be ing rapidly installed, and the new building is proving unusually con- ivcnient and well adopted for the pur- poses for which it was planned.
 It is doubtful whether any college of engineering in the country possess es more satisfactory quarters than those now owned by the University of Arizona, and it is hoped that vis itors to Tucson will take advantage
 of the opportunity to inspect the building which is admitted to be one Of the best constructed in the state, and to examine the new equipment
 While the University has previously
 offered strong courses in engineer ing, it is now in a position to do even better than in the past; and nigh school students contemplating the study of engineering are strong ly urged to consider the facilities of
 fercd by their own state university before deciding where to study.

LADY NICOTINE HOSTING HER
 PUFF PRICES
INCREASED. COST TOGETH- FER WITH WITH HIGHER TAX REASON WHY SACK OF BULL CAN NO LONG FIR BE HAD FOR A JITNEY
CFrom Sundays paiIyl

No more, ever, perhaps will the
 smoker call for a sack of "Bull' and pungle up a single jitney. Neither will he derive package of Camels for the old-time dime. In common with all other commodities, smoking materials have gone up as a result of the war.
 There are two great factors in the rise in tobacco prices. One lies in the increased cost of production, an aggregate of labor, materials, trans portation, power. and incidental charges, all of which have increased. The second, which has just now caused a rise in price, is the iqcreas- ed tax on such semi-luxuries as to- bacco.
 Smokers will in the main, cheer fully pay the increased prices, if they are convinced that such are not the result of a local dealers idea of get ting his. In some cases, a tax that increases the dealers cost by a frac- ton of a cent a package has been followed by a retail advance of five cents, and in cases like this, the de- voices of Ailady Nicotine nave had a large kick coming.
 Tobacco is no mere accessory to a mans comfort. as has been abund antly proven by the United States Army. There was and probably is ! good deal of grabbing over the fact that the Y. NJ. C. A. went to France and instantly started selling cigarettes and pipe tobacco to soldiers at the rest huts. John K. Mott, internation- al secretary, who had spent some time across, was seriously taken to task by a convention of Y. NJ. C. A. men at San Antonio, Texas, last summer, because the overseas branch of the organization handled cigar ettes Mott's reply has become classic. He told of the misery and suffering of the men in the trenches, and the tremendous consolation that few whiffs of smoke brought them. As well try to run the army without canned goods as smokes, he said, and proved it.
 When some of the miners and pros- pectors come into town to lay in supplies, and find that their favoritN brand of pipe stufing has doubled in price, they are likely to howl like wolves until they understand the reason. Ihere Is a slender hope that tobacco prices will remain within reach of the poor man, because hi, smoke often constitutes the only joy the poor gink has.
