WOBBLY LEADER WAVES ExTRADITION AND WILL
 FACE NEVADA CHARGE

Phoenix August 14th-After several
 Mickey" Scanlon, aid to be a lead CT of the Industrial Workers of the World, settled a controversy of sev- eral days standing yesterday by agreeing to return to Nevada with cut eXtradition, to answer a charge
 represented here as being criminal syndicalism.
 Scanlon was arrested at Globe some time ago. On writ of habaes corpus obtained through the efforts of Thom- as J. Croaff, president of the Ari-
 zona Federation of Labor, Scanlou was released only to be arrested again in short time on a charge of vas rancy and to be detained at Globe. Meanwhile, word was received here and in Globe, that an officer was on
 his way here from Tonopah, New, to take over the custody of Scanlon, if
 extraditin papers for him were hon.
 ored Affidavits were presented to
 the office of Governor Campbell tend ing to show Scanlon was not a fugi- tiy from justice but had been informed that trial of the case for which he was wanted in Nevada had been post
 poned, and thence was not subject to lextradition.
 Today, the Nevada officer, Sheriff
 John Barrier of Nye county arrived and presented extradition papers at
 the governors office. An. informal
 hearing was held by the governors $ secretary P. R. Mines. Croaff pro-
 tested aganist the holding of the hear
 ing without the governor, or at least the secretary of state being present. 1 When the matter had been discus sed for some time, officers at Globe were reached on the long distance 1 telephone and they, in turn, obtained
 Scanlon's consent to return with the Sheriff from Nevada Scanlon, according to Globe people
 had considerable part in organizing
 efforts at strike there recently, which, however failed to materialize. { Sheriff Barrier left last night for
 Globe to accompany Scanlon back to
 Nevada.

GREAT DEMAND F0R COPPER WILL
 SOON REVIVE INDUSTRY INTO NEW
 PROSPERITY ASSERTS DR. MANNING

Optimism for the immediate future of the metal industry and especially the copper industry, is felt by Dr. Van H. Manning, director of the United States bureau of mines, who passed through Fl Paso in special mine rescue car just out of the shops on his way to Tucson, Ariz. He was ac- companied by other members of the bureau.
 The men are on tour of the diff ferent experiment stations and mine rescue stations of the west and will go from Tucson to San Francisco and from there to Seattle, Washington.
 If we proceed with that fairness and sanity that characterizes the act ions Of Americans on the whole," said Doctor Manning, there is not the least doubt but that we shall soon see the greatest copper demand that the old world ever has known.
 Germany Will Buy Copper
 Everything is ready for this great industrial movement. We have the cop per, the most advanced methods in its metallurgy, and efficient business methods for it's marketing. Although some of the countries in the old world still have amounts of copper left ovef from the war, Germany, always Ia good market for copper, is entirely stripped of this most essential metal and we may expect soon most trem- endous demand, not only from that country, but from all other countries where copper is used.
 "As the director of the bureau of mines, the federal organization which is engaged where possible, in aiding in the solving of the metallurgical problems of the nation, am especial ly pleased at the present technical preparedness of the copper industry and the great advances that have been made in recent years. Some of the greatest metallurgists in the United States are connected with the copper industry and these men are of type who can always be expected vanced metallurgy. They are men who are broad enough to look beyond their own horizons and seize upon anything the world over that will aid their in

 To Eliminate Waste
 '"The primary function of the bureau of the mines is to aid the mineral in- dustry of this country in problems connected with the elimination of the preventable waste, both as to human lives and energies, as well as in the waste of mineral resources. It is therefore with the greatest interest that this bureau has watched the de- velopment of the Notation process, a rect control of an English company, but in the improvement and develop ment of which the metaElurgists of this country have made probably the greatest contributions. As a conser- vation measure, this process has been one of the greatest advances in the copper industry, and in no other place has the process been brought to a higher degree of perfection than in the copper districts of the United States. Flotation Process.
 '1n it's turn, however, the intro duction of the flotation process for the concentration of copper minerals from the waste rock or gangue has introduced the new problems in the treatment of such concentrates by the subsequent smelting process due to the extreme ineness of the product from the Notation. To a large ex- tent this difficulty has been overcome by the introduction of efficient dust collecting devices, one of the most important of which has been the Got trell electrical precipitation process, of which Dr. F. G. Gottrell, assistant director of this bureau is the invent or.
 Fertilizer From the Shelters.
 ''The western smelting companies are now taking up vigorously the pro duction of marketable fertilizers, util izing a certain gas (sulphur dioxide) that heretofore has been discharged into the atmosphere. This gas has long been looked upon in the western smelters solely as waste product and even a nuisance.

New York, Aug. 3.--A method Of
performing operations painlessly is
so simple, as explained by DR.. A. l..
Soresi. OF New York. in the Journal
OF the Americana Medical association,
as to provoke wonder that 1t has not
come into common use.
Neither chlorofo. ether nor any
OF the common kinds OF anesthetics
is employed. yet the patient, fully
conscious. is afflicted by no pain,
says Soresi, who served in Italy's
principal military hospital at Milan.
In more than 5000 operations per-
formed under the painless method,
hundreds of which led to explora-
lions and incisions of the lungs. no
untoward after effects resulted.
The following description was
given:
A dry. sterile scalpel is dipped in

He also says 1t was bad tactical
mistake on the part of President Eb-

proclaim from the house tops that
Germany would never, never sign
