Seven negroes were arrested and ta- ken to Tombstone. A number of negro troopers of the 10th cavalry who also fell in to the deputies net were released to the provost guard at the fort.

 Deputies Midkiff, Palmer and Day assisted Sheriff Mcdonald in the raid.
 Although the so-called restricted district at the fort was supposed to have been eliminated some time ago, the "White City, is said to have been running as wide open of late as in the old days. Persistent reports and complaints of activities there led to the sheriff's action.

AMERICAN IDEAL IS EXPRESSED
 BY LEGION

The luncheon tor the ladies of Prescott at the Girls Community club yesterday was an unusually in teresting one. Mrs. (. E. Yount acted as chairman. Alfred Gale and George w. Nilsson, the chief speak CTS on the program, presented very clearly the ideals and purposes of the American Legion, both nation ally and locally.
 Mir. Gale first outlined the plans as adopted at the Paris and St. Louis meetings. He was followed by Mr.. Nilsson, who explained that the pur- pose of the American Legion was best expressed in the preamble to the constitution adopted at the St. Louis caucus. After reading the pre- amble. he called attention to several resolutions which the ma tional organization laid special stress upon, such as those dealing with aliens, conscientious objectors, the court martial law and a military pol icy of the United States.
 Locally, the purpose of the Amer ican Legion, Mir. Nilsson stated, was first to serve the needs of the indi- vidual ex-service men in the way of securing vocational training, insur- ance, allotments, etc. Secondly, the local organization stands for me norial which will perpetuate not only

PROSPECTORS' SOCIAL
 REMEDIES ARE GENERAL (Frsu Fhursdav'1 Daily)

Work on the NC4 Silver camp con- tinues to open up new encouragement for the stockholders of that prop erty. A force of men has been at work for two weeks cleaning out va rious old workings on the different veins of the property Thursday some ore was brought into be as saved from the Lonesome Pine vein, which was taken from an old tunnel that has been caved in for Is years. It looked like medium grade ore and the surprise about it was that 1t as- saved l06.8 ounces in vilver.
 The miner who brought in this ore says that the vein shows over 20 feet in width. and this ore is in the roof of a small old tunnel Some more work is to be done at this point to determine the possibilities of talk ing out a shipment of this ore.
 Work on the road is still in prog ress, and Jasper Phillips is under taking to help in the good work of reviving this famous silver district. He has about completed a cutoff around the crossing at the mouth of Groom creek where it enters into the Hassayampa, and with his own hands has shortened the road consid- erablY, and has cut out two of the worst short pitches on the road and one bad long grade. Jap" as he is familiarly called understands con- touring hills and saving hard pulls on roads, and his work in this in- stance is very good indeed.
 A. C. Gilmore, of the Ruby Silver company, has mapped out for him self another piece of repair work that will cut out two more steep pulls and one of the toughest hills of the road.
 Harrington Blauvelt of the Little Johnny mine has made more im- provements on the road and is plan ming a new line from his camp 10 join up to the old Mescal road down the bed of the Hassayampa. His company starts big development on the 18th. His property adjoins the NC+ on the west and is one of the good ones of that great Yavapai sil- yer belt.
 Operators on the Mark Twain, under lease and bond, have also done some work on the road, and are talk ing out shipping ore and piling tom mage on the dumps
 The NC4 boys have smoothed out the rough spots in quite a stretch of the road, and plan cutting out few more steep pulls preparatory to hay- ing truck man figure on hauling in a big tonnage of medium grade ore to see if it can be done at a rate to justify sacrificing enough of the val ues in the ore for such an experi5 ment.

SALVAGE BUREAU IS
 NEEDED BY AMERICA
(From Thursday's nailv.O

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Creation by the United States government oi a bureau of salvage similar to one in England which in three years saved to the nation $5OOOOO,OOO worth oi materials usually consiged to the scrap heap" is recommended by Otto H. Kahn, fnancier, in a memoran- dunn as to possible measures for al leviating the high cost of living made public here today
 Other suggestions include appoint ment by the government of a non political body of experts Ito study the effects of the various kinds oi taxation which have been in force during and since the termination oi the war and to make recommends tions to congress based upon such study"
 Mir. Kahn, analyzing the effect of the excess profits tax abroad, said a British investigator found that labor received 5 per cent more than before the war, the state through taxation 4. per cent more and capital 3 per cent more. He said the enhanced cost oi living and the diminished purchasing power of the dollar affected the owner of industrially invested capital no less than they do other callings.
 Declaring that "one of the most valuable by-products of wise taxation is the promotion of thrift, Mir. Kahn charged that the income tax "by req son of the kind and manner of its graduation, instead of promoting more saving, is a breeder of eXtrava gance and thus of higher prices" The investor, in order to recoup a portion of his income tax, he said, demands higher rates of interest, thus enhancing the cost of capital, which again makes higher prices. Or he buys tax exempt municipal, state or government bonds, thus the quantity of funds available for private enterprise"
