In the very frst chapter Of "Carni-

bundle at her side. and, with the appro

"A Daughter of the Sun, the story of Hawaiian butterfly, will be the attra action at the Grand tonight and tomorrow. It is a tale of supersti- tion, suspicion, secret service and sentiment. A group of Hawaiian players and musicians appear in the songs and dances of their native country, accompanied by guitar and ukelele. Magnificent scenic effects characterize the production and the atmosphere of the beautiful isles of the Pacific is retained throughout.
 There are three acts and seven scenes, each being spectacular in character In the cast are twenty five people, headed by Ernestine De Milo, Edw. Porter and Margaret OBrisn

Those Exempt from
 Duty on Jury Must
 Present Affidavits

TOMBSTONE, Jan. 1.-The name of every man in Cochise county ap- bearing on the last great register, ap- proximately 7500 in all, has been placed in the jury box, in view of the forthcoming deportation trials in Tombstone which are to start Febru- ary 2, in the superior court in this city. Furthermore, the law, which formerly acted automatically to ex- empt from duty men following cer- tain professions, has been set aside and in order to obtain exemption. af- fidavits must be filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors.
 The only grounds upon which ex- emption from duty may De claimed under the law are:
 Being more than 60 years of age, being a civil officer of the state or United States, ministers of the sos- terial duties, physicians, dentists and attorneys, editors of newspapers, tele- graph operators, school teachers, druggists, undertakers, railroad sta ton agents, railroad conductors and engineers, while actively engaged, ex- press agents and messengers, active ly engaged, members of city fire de- partment All of these, except city firemen who can claim exemption as unit through their chief, must file exemption claim, giving their ages. names, residence and the ground for their claim. This must be filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors.
 Unless exemption be claimed, the names will be drawn from the jury box in regular course of procedure and after his name has been drawn no one may plead exemptions, no matter whether his occupation e1- empts him under the statutes or not.
 It is anticipated that the jurors will be drawn in groups of about 200 at time.
 Up to the present time less than 100 claims of exemption have been filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors, it is reported.

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant. sugar-coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Df. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen. fly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects.
 All the benefits of nasty, sickening. giping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping, painor any disagreeable effects.
 Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac- tice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.
 Olive Tablets are purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for week and note the effect. l0c and 25'

FOREMAN TELLS OF MINING BY
 GAZING METHOD

A lecture on Horizontal and In clined Top-slicing," one of the series being delivered before the class in practical mining at the Y. M. c. A., was given last night and yesterday afternoon by J. w Scott, foreman of the CZar.
 MT. Scott said in part: There are two methods applied to the mining of the ore bedies in the Warren district, namely, the supported stope' and 'caVing'. Caving methods, strictly, are those in which the ore is first under cut and then broken down by its own weight, or by the weight of overlying rock, or by combination of both. But as a result of custom, operations involving the caving of the material overlying ore body. as a systematic and essential part of the work, are also classed as caving methods, though practically all of the ore is broken by drilling and blasting. Top. slicing is a result of this clasSifica- tion.
 Tn this method the ore is mined in series of horizontal slices, taken in descending order from the top of the deposit, and then allowing or fore ing the overburden to cave to the floor as each slice is completed, or be- fore an adjacent one is attacked The method is d retreating one, that is, the work on each floor retreats from limits of ore toward points Of entry All of the ore is broken b. blasting
 The method is best adapted to large, thick bodies of soft ore close to the surface and its advantages are, complete extraction at mouera,v cost, clean mining, safety, and close sam bling"
 The speaker described the difficult ties of mining the dividend ore body before top-slieing was resorted to- This ore body is located under the junction of the main canyon, or Naco road, and Dubacher canyon, and un- der the slag dump. It is one of the oldest workings in the district The ore body has been worked by the sQuare-set method, as was all the ore in the Queen mines, put In 1913 the management decided to try another method of working this ore body. Top slicing was the method resorted to and the speaker described Tn detail how the work was carried on.
 The lecture was one of the most comprehensive on mining methods that has yet been delivered before the class, but, being necessarily of a tech nical nature, no attempt is made here to report it in full.
