ALLEGED WASTE OF
 WATER IS DISCUSSED
(From Tuesdays Daily.J


 It developed during an informal discussion of the water report last night at the city counci that 3,OO0,0O0 gallons were wasted last month at Fort Whipple. The estimate by the United States authorities of the needs of the barracks was 3,500,O0O gallons. The report of last month showed that about 9,OO0,OOO gallons were used, the post taking in excess of 3,O000O0 gallons more than did the city.
 According to the water works su- perintendent, by making alterations at the fort, especially at the post ice and refrigerating plants, 3,OOO,O0O gallons could be saved, and that fur ther waste could be eliminated.
 The mayor suggested that the of fcers of the post would cooperate with the city in this important mat ter, and while government action might at times be a little delayed. 1t was certain and thorough.

PRACTICAL MEN NOW IN CHARGE
 OF THE PECK
(From SnndaY.s daiiY.a

The famous Peck silver mine oi early days has recently undergone a complete realignment of its person. mel, and E. w. Fisher, J. A. Edwards, NJ. R. Mitchell, Charles Wiley and D. McAdoo, a cousin of William c. McAdoo, have become heavily in- terested with Lloyd c. Kirkland oi Chicago.
 This new backing for the old property is equipped with big capital and practical men have become as sociated with MT. Kirkland, who some months ago acquired the Peel; under a bond, and performed a large amount Of initial work toward rehabilitating the mine Of note worthy importance from the mining viewpoint is the entry of NIT. Fisher as a member of the new Peck com pany. He returns to this county from Colorado after all absence oi many years, for the particular pur- pose of taking the management, and yesterday gave an interesting inter view covering what was contemplat- ed and what the company had au- thorized. him to proceed with in get ting the Peck back into a productive stage, saying:
 Of course it is well known among inning men of this field that l am fully conversant with the mineral sit nation in Yavapai and with the Peck Years ago I operated along Castle creek, and my territory embraced that section of the Bradshaws H. which the silver zone is situated Prompting me to come back is the return of the white metal and the attractive outlook of the Peck, as ] recall observations made long ago.
 There has been no change in con ditions at the none, hence 1 an. going into the company with friends We will at once discard the mill erected a short time ago and replace 1t with a modern one of 100 tons capacity, cyaniding being the process of recovery.
 The plant is ordered and on tn, way. The old dumps will be treated and coincidentally the closed stopes are to be reopened and additional eX ploration done in every old working Of course l cannot look through thl formation and discern the minera resources below, but there are evi dences which are infallible, in my be lief, to warrant my money and tha of my friends in going into the ground. We are going ahead"

Of the many silver mines to swing into action during the past six months that of the Dos Oris is prob
 ably among the more intensely in- teresting from its sensational pro ductive record many years ago, and its coming back in this late day as still in line in the mineral column The Buzzard claim of the group is again the scene of action as in the long ago, and since the old stopes have been cleaned out and additional exploration given, determinations were reported yesterday by J. B. Tomlinson, who has secured the property, as so gratifying that he will begin shipping to Prescott at once a carload for the Hayden mar ket. This operator stated the pro duct is not high grade, but of a good class in value per ton. the lead con tent being attractive Later the Dos Oris claim is to be opened, and the old tunnel zone fully explored Records kept of the period in which the group was atcive show that on OCIODGI 70, lOOSs lllC PlOPNltN S'S

MILD WOBBLYISM IS ADVOCATED BY
 ROBERTA BRUNER
(From Sundays Daily.)

An audience which comfortably filled the large assembly room of the Prescott Business college in the Elks' building, listened to Mrs. Rob erta Bruner as she explained indus trial unionism from the viewpoint of the l. w. w. organization, in the interest of which she appeared.
 An opportunity was afforded for the taking out of membership cards and for the securing of literature published by the order. Announce ment was that those not taking out cards at that time could get them rom secretaries who would be on the job in the different occupational industries of the city.
 College bred, and having been a school teacher, the speaker, whose platform manner and boise were much in her favor, boldly asserted that the authorities of Colorado had warned her not to return, and that she had run foul of the police in Bisbee. She disclaimed any purpose of the organization to commit of lenses against property, sabotage, and only if compelled to violence by the capitalistic class would they take part in disorder.
 Admitting that when frenzied by Jailing and arbitrary" treatment she could make a radical speech, she in sisted she was in favor of govern ment, of the people and by the peo- pie. And we are the people," she insisted, a statement which won the approval of many of her auditors.
 She then proceeded to take q fall out of the pool hall agitators and plaza buns with their knocks and calling of hard names, a procedure which she claimed got nowhere Ac- Jion and organization on the job, so, when the inevitable revolution comes the workers will be able to run in dustry themselves, was the plan she was here to forward.
 After the meeting the speaker held reception at the door, and from the fact that above half of the audience gave her a hearty handshake ahd
 good luck" as they passed by, it seemed that the 1. w. w. is well established in this city.
 Steps had been taken by the au- thorities, backed by the American Legion, to take a leaf out of the I. w. w. constitution and take over and operate" the meeting ill the in terests of patriotic Americanism, had any serious attention been mer ited by the outpourings of the speaker, but when she protested, perhaps suspiciously, emphatically that she was not against the govern ment, it became evident that the lady would be harmless.

LONG VACANT PROP
 ERTY TO BE IMPROVED
(From Tuesdays DailyJ

After many years. the vacant space between the Masonic building and he Head hotel holdings is to be partially improved. Workmen be gan excavating for shallow founda- ton trenches yesterday, and in a short time a one story 50-foot front building will be erected.
 The lot was sold by E. w. Wells and his associates to John Zucca of l6S South Marina, who will put in three l6-foot stores to house a milk depot, produce and a grocery store.
 The deal breaks up one of the last vacant down town properties in the city. About two months ago nego- tiations were started for two other structures on this tract-one being the long projected modern theater, but all previous deals fell through.
 The front will be of pressed brick, the outside walls of reinforced con crete, and with plate glass front and modern equipment the structure, 50x80 feet will contain hardwood floors, fly-proof show windows, and well lighted interiors.
 The building is to be put up by Chris Totten, the contractor. It is expected that the structure will be completed in 60 days.
 A rumor is being circulated that there is a probability of two addl- tional stories being arranged for, and that the completed building will be of that height, but no confrma- tiol could be secured at this time However there is a probability that negotiations are actually taking place with this purpose in view, and it would cause no surprise if three story structure was located there' ready for occupancy by the first ot the year.
