1.-THE Dub"
John Craig, the head of a small
construction company, takes a stroll
in the park. He is worried about sew
eral things, among them how to get
eight hundred dollars that he may
finish a job and also by the fact that
he left a box of dynamite on his office
desk. Suppose this box should fall
to the floor. Where would his con
struction company be then? Then
pop, went a paper bag between a
boys hands! 1t was only a little
bang but John Craig had visions of
his office sailing skyward. He start
ed running and landed plump in the
arms of Burley Haddon, an attorney
without a conscience and not a very
good judge of human nature either.
Haddon took the painting youth as
a dub and Immediately saw in him
the man he was looking for. In the
home of George Markham lay an
option on a mine that Haddon want

But beyond the doors of the Mark

PARTIAL BAN IS PLACED ON
 OAK CREEK

JEROME, July 25.-Where there is a quantity of smoke there is cer- tain to be a little fire. The live coal i'll the embers of the recent contro- versy with regard to the proposed closing of Oak creek was famed into flame today by the receipt of an an nouncement that the ban had been placed on the stream. Anglers will be barred above the falls of the creek until July l, 1920.
 The partial blockade meets with the approval of local fishermen, who protested vigorously when it became known the state game warden was contemplating the closing of the en- tire stream. The reaches above the falls are the favorite haunts of tour ists who are attracted in ever in .creasing numbers by the sport af- forded on Oak creek. The new reg ulations will have the effect of pre- serving the sport for local nimrods.
 In an interview, Game Warden J. V. Prochaska is quoted as satting that this action is the only apparent meass of conserving the trout. It is his opinion that it is virtually impos- sible to enforce the regulation pro hibiting the taking of undersized fish. Hence, the only sure way is to pro hibit fishing in that district until the finny tribes have an opportunity to mcltiply and replenish the waters. Their efforts in this direction he promises, will be encouraged by lib era1 restocking from the federal hatcheries, 3yOOO,OOO young fish hay ing been ordered for this and other streams and lakes in the state.
 The ban will extend to July 1, in stead of June 1, next year, in recog- milton of the fact that many of the females do not spawn until June, and the additional month will con tribute materially to the replenish- ment of the waters.

WHAT FRESH AIR IS, ANTE-T. B.
 POINTS OUT

A clear distinction should be made between "cold" air and pure" air, the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis asso- citation points out. Many people, in their efforts to prevent tuberculosis are obsessed with the notion that all cold air Is pure air and that all warm air is necessarily impure air.
 There is danger i'll this notion, 1t is pointed out, because it gives false security. It has been found some times by tuberculosis patients that sleeping porches do not always give the expected results. There are inr stances where sleeping porches are found to be dead air" pockets. Moreover, the outside air is not nc- cessarily always pure air, although the chances are ill its favor. The out side air in the vicinity of smelter kills vegetation and is harmful to animal life. It should not do for a tuberculosis sufferer to depend on an outside air in such region.
 The open window does not neccs- sarily insure d sufficient supply of pure air, although it is, of course, preferable to the closed window h addition to opening tne window, pro- vision should be made to secure

Duncan, operating the Climax mines near this city, and while its value was not given, the novelty of the product excited admiration as the yellow stuff recalls other days and bore the red metal era intervened. The bar of bullion was over foot long, ranged close to Sl6 an ounce and zach side of the brick measured about one inch. This was the second recovery bv Mir. Duncan since he assumed charge some months ago, and ne stated the concentrate yield was likewise an essential asset in both mill runs made.
 An interesting feature attached to this product is that the Climax is the only known free milling gold mine today in action in this county, and barring q short interval in its inter rupted operations, under the man. aeement of MT. Duncan for over eight years, 1t has been regular and profitable producer.

INDIAN RESERVES ARE
 NOT YET OPENED
(From Saturdays Daily.)

NIIOlu Sdlul 0A1 - OdAAJD
 Reports reaching the city that the Indian reservation had been opened to prospecting on July 10, were in error, according to a telegram received yesterday from Senator Henry F. Ashurst, in re- ply to an inquiry by the Journal Miner. The opening will not oc- cur until after certain rules and regulations have been prepared by the secretary of the interior, approved by the president and published for 50 days thereafter.
 Quite a number of miners have made inquiry about this matter recently, and it was to settle the question for good that the sena- tor yesterday sent this message to the Journal-Miner:
 My bill permitting metalli- ferrous mining on Indian reserva- tions was included as a section of the Indian appropriation bill and has been signed by the president. No Indian reservation will be opened for such mining until the secretary of the interior prepares and promulgates proper rules and regulations.
 T have just urged the interior department to make haste to pre- pare and publish the rules by the department, that it now has a force of men preparing the nec- essary papers and that no reser- vations will be opened until 60 days have elapsed from the date of the approval.
 Rules and regulations have not yet been approved. The bill does not relate to gas, oil or coal, but only to metalliferous miner als."
 Miners Flock to Reserve
 It has been reported that min CTS have been Hooking to the h. dian reservations in Arizona, un- der the misapprehension that the lands had already been opened. Some companies have been formed to promote exploration of reputedly rich mineral sec tions in the Navajo and Apache reserves.
 United States Marshal J. P. Dillon has been called to the north of the state to investigate, and in the light of Senator Ash urst's message, 1t is thought he may be arranging to put up the bars against entry until the word comes that the race for locations may start.

 The ideal way is, of course, to sleep in the open air with sufficient protection to insure the sleeper against cold and rain. The next best way is to have at least two windows open to secure circulation.
