FLYING CAREER OF THIS PRESCOTTITE
 SUDDENLY ENDS
(From saturday's Da ailvl


 According 10 a letter written by Jesse Stillwell to his sister of this city, Mrs. Margaret Maynard, hydro blaming is not as fascinating as is generally believed, and he will quit his job, but remain in the navy for the rest of his one year enlistment.
 His experience several weeks ago on the Great Great Lakes has been received only recently ,and 1t is pre- sumed he is mending up after collid- ing with a tug At any rate his ac- count of the mixup would indicate that the seat flyer got the worst of the scrap, and there may have been a stiff reprimand given the pilot. Stillwcll enlisted in Prescott over two years ago, and after overseas service jumped into aviation. He closes the letter by saying: Have been long hitting the hard formation in Mohave and Yavapai, so might as well go back again to something that is more suiable to my early training"

Of REINSURANCE
 IS EASIER

Under a new and very liberal rul- ing of far reaching importance to millions of former service men, is- sued by Director R. C. Cholmeley- Jones of the Bureau of War Risk In- surance, with the approval of Secre- tary of the Treasury Carter Glass, war risk (term) insurance, regardless of how long it may have been lapsed or canceled, and regardless of how long the former service man may have been discharged, may be rein stated any time before July l, 1920.
 The only conditions are:
 CD Two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be rein stated must accompany the appliCa- ton.
 t2) The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of dis charge, or at the expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so state in the application.
 The new ruling IS the most impOr- tant liberalization of the war risk insurance since the passage of the Sweet bill, and IS designed for the special benefit of service men who failed to reinstate their insurance prior to the new law, and who have been discharged more than IS months
 EX-servIcc men may still reinstate their lapsed term insurance at any time within IS months following the month of discharge by complying with the same conditions. Within three months following the month of discharge reinstatement may be made by simply remitting two months premiums without a formal applica- ton or statement as to health.
 Reinstatement may also be made after IS months following discharge as follows: If the insurance has not been lapsed longer than three months, by complying with the con ditions outlined in CD and @ above. From the fourth to the eleventh month (inclusive), after lapse, by complying with the same conditions, and in addition submitting a formal report of examination made by a re- putable physician substantiating the statement of health to the satisfac- ton of the director of the bureau
 War risk (term) insurance may be converted into United States govern ment life insurance now or at any time within five years after the formal termination of the war by the proc lamation of the president.
 United States government (cOn- verted) life insurance, including or dinary life, twenty payment life, thirty payment life, twenty year en- dowment, thirty year endowment, and endowment at age of e, may now be paid in a lump sum at death, if such method of payment is desig- mated by the insured.

SEES PRODUCTION OF
 RED METAL RESTORED

RAY, Feb. H.-L. s. Gates, assist ant general manager of the Utal Copper company, the largest copper mine in the world, who is visiting the Ray Consolidated this week, of which property he is also general manager interviewed by the Ray Copper Camp" had this to say:
 The copper situation looked very badly until the carly part of Decem. Der, when a Considerable amount O. copper was sold. This selling move. ment has extended into January, al though it must be realized that the sales for December and January have not made it possible for the copper producers to reduce their surplus stock to a point which will warrant any rapid increase in production; ii is considered a favorable omen for the future. 1 do not look for any further curtailment in operations oi the larger producers, and as soon as conditions in Europe right them selves so that foreign exchange re- turns to a more nearly normal basis there will be a resumption of activi- ties
 As regards our own country, the only solution of our problem is for everybody to get back to work and 10 work hard; there is altogether too much lost motion. Until conditions are corrected fundamentally (and by that l mean: when more materials are being produced than are con sumed), there is not going to be any reduction in the costs of staple com modities.
 There is far less unrest now than there was some six months ago; feel that the atmosphere is gradually clearing and that we may look with confidence toward the return of the wonderful prosperity which IS due our great country. The untoward in tlucnces which have been active for some time have been curbed by pop ular opinion and people arc beginning to realize that they are living under the most perfect form of government vet developed in the world and the people of the United States will not brook any interference with the progress of this country by those who have wrecked many of the great countries of Europe. The develop ment of this splendid spirit is sure to carry on in the future and result in the blossoming of this land into the wonderland and bounteous pros perity which should be that of the United States of America"

STARBUCK WILL RUSH IN
 MILL PLANT
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Local shareholders of the Tillie Starbuck are the source of the i'm portant information that a milling plant IS to be erected this summer on that property, and the movement is now assured since the wonderful strike occurred a short time ago. The type of reduction is not known, but is being deliberated upon by the board of directors, most of whom re- side outside of the state.
 This action had been under consid- eration for some months, but now is hastened in view of the important de velOpment recently that exposes an ore body of approximately 100 ounce ore ranging from four to ten feet in width in the lower tunnel of the deepest workings. From past years of operating and independent of the big strike recently, 1t is stated by some of those resident shareholders that huge tonnage of milling ore has been made for treatment, and it was on this production 1t had been decided some months ago to erect the plant. Qualitative analysis of the content are being made to arrive at the process of reduction, and when this IS accomplished the plant will be forthcoming, treasury fund for this purpose being available. It is also stated that the first and only block of stock sold privately to a limited number of preferred buyers aggre- gated but 100000 shares at $1 per share, and since that issue no further marketing has been endeavored.
 Additional news is being received that the strike in this mine has not been exaggerated and in consequence of the bona fide showing other mine owners in the Slate creek and Crook canyon fields arc very much elated over the outlook as well as pleased that the country is facing a better outlook than for many years.

ARMY HAS NEW PLAN

 The anization of county and district smmittees to back up the civilian Irelief work of the Salvation Army is the aim of the visit here of w. (. tTinsley, who explained his mission briefly before the Luncheon Club y, fsterday.
 Now that the war is over, there re- mains | luch for the Army to do to help ol in civil life. Chief among the objects is the saving of persons who go twrong from any series of cir cumstarlces. Hitherto, it has been the plah of the Salvation Army to concent{ {rate in the larger cities on placing of young women who have fallenf Now, Mr Tinsley explained, it is Sconsidered more logical to or ganizeN in the smaller communities so as to g \et nearer the root of the evil. He outlined the problem thus: So many young women who fall into un- fortunat& circumstances >gravitate to the larger cities, the better to hide their diF iFgrace. This has caused a concentration of unfortunates in these places. But prevention is more to be soughA than cure, so the Salvation Army is t tying to interest influential persons a1A over the country in their aims, that he conditions may be met before they become a real social problem.
 All the forces of the Salvation Army, which were so ably employed buring the que ire, are to be manifest ed in a new war on the social evil. Outposts among non-members are to be employed as cooperative agencies in the great battle against the con ditions which bring about the chief source O. the Wayward ones in the big cities.

BUDGET PLAN
 OUTLINED FOR HOUSEWIFE
BY INDIA ACKER Home Demonstration Agent

A budget is all organized plan for using the income. It is essential be- fore making a budget to complete a survey of the Income end of the or dinary expenditures. This enables one to determine whether the income has been distributed wisely and evenly In discussing the budget plan, the first and foremost thing to consider is, food. What proportion of the income IS to be spent for food:
 The health and ability of each member of the family depends in large measure on the quantity and the kind of the daily food. In divid- ing the income, therefore, the first consideration is to determine how much money must be spent on food in order 10 insure health and eff ciency. IL is poor economy 10 at tempt to decrease the food budget on any but a scientific basis. A weekly or monthly allowance of the various foods may be calculated from the daily amounts, and foods purchased in quantity to effect a saving.
 In order to estimate the amount of money to allow for food, first de- eide which foods must be used to in sure health and furnish sufficient nourishnent; then if the cost of these necessary foods falls below the amount that can reasonably be spent for food, study the best ways of spending any additional sum to i'm prove the flavor and the attractive ness of the diet
 The following simple general rule for dividing the money that is to be spent for food will fit average con ditions The food allowance if spent in such manner as this will permit a properly and well balanced diet. Onc-6fth the allowance for milk, one fifth for vegetables and fruits, one fifth or more for cereals and cereal fsods; not more than one-hflh for meats and meat substitutes, onc-hfth for fats, sweets and miscellaneous articles

HEALTH WEALTH BY THE SKUNK ROUTE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

James Forepaugh, hunter and trap per, who was in Prescott about two months ago, is getting rich quick by the novel route of killing skunks, ac- cording to a report given yesterday by George E. Darlington, mining operator from the Date creek range. The latter stated that Forepaugh to date had captured 796 of the skunk family in traps of his own invention, and the entire lot had been expressed to an Omaha furrier, the pelts aver aging at least $4.50 each.
 The sink of Date creek was the field worked by Forepaugh, and only limited number of foxes were in the cleanup. MT. Darlington stated that a perfumed bait was used by the hunter. The dog responded to this bait, but the coyote, the lion and the lobo wolf would keep away from the scene.
 The interesting part of this big roundup was in preparing the pelts for shipment, Forepaugh having what he termed a first aid" dope to treat each pelt, making the fleec soft and pliabl, and rendering the hide easy to preserve.
 The process of eXterminating the skunk from first to last is quite in teresting. and the advent of Fore paugh to that region is welcomed by all, the hydrophobia skunk being classed in certain seasons of the year as dangerous. Forepaugh until his health failed about two years ago was student of the University of Michigan, and physicians advised him to go into the open country of the southwest. This advice he needed, a cousin, Luther H. Jaycox, accom- panying him, and they are now in fine fettle, and getting quite well off financially. The father of Forepaugh also hunted for a living in early days of Minnesota, so the son does not require any special tutoring.

LUNCHEON CLUB HEARS ABOUT
 NEW HOTEL
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Seventy-hve persons surrounded a good luncheon and accumulated large quantities of information regarding the proposed new hotel for Prescott at a meeting of the Luncheon Club at the Owl yesterday noon.
 When the arguments were over, Leroy Anderson and NJ. B. Hazeltine, who had furnished most of the infor- nation, retired to the Hassayampa golf links to battle it out with drivers and mashies and putters. Up to a late hour, the score had not been given out
 At any rate, the meeting afforded several persons a chance to acquire a new insight into the hotel promo ton scheme. MT. Anderson was in- troduced for the express purpose of starting a fight. He confessed it. If a fight was going to win anything, he was for a declaration of war. More over, he wanted everybody else who had anything to say to get it out, be- fore it struck in and did damage.
 He outlined briefly the idea of the promoters, himself and Charles H.. Jonas. They had number of sites under option. They desired to ques- tionnaire the influential people and find what site the majority wanted. He favored the west side for purely selfish motive, he said, because he lived over there and wanted to see everything come his way. On this point Hazeltine smoked him out with a demand that he cease passing around that kind of stuff an admit that it wasn't pure selfishness that made him back the deal.
 Anderson waxed poetic as all get out over the magnihcence of the view from the higher elevations on the west side of the city. He spoke of those things that are intrinsically Arizonan and will attract the tourist here as no imitation of New Yorl; plaza or marble columned hostelry can possibly do. His peroration anent the purple sunset and the wonderful vista of the San Francisco Peaks from the west side provoked Chair man Ruhner to make defense of the east, where, he said, one could obtain a marvellous view of the Peaks and moreover, see the magnificent spec tacle of Whipple Barracks, every time one could emerge from the mud.
 E. s. Clark spoke briefly, question: ing the advisability of arranging 10 per cent for the promoters, who had only to enlist local support in the proposition to have large quantities of subscription money thrown into the pot.

NEW INVENTION BOON
 TO SILVER MINING
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

AIlOlll W NullCAIdg Dd4lJJ
 If reports given yesterday by arri- vals from Humboldt are to be cred tied, silver mining in this section particularly will not only De mater tally stimulated but completely re generated, the statement being made that the Consolidated is about to in- troduce new process by which re- covery of the galena content to all complex ores is to be introduced some time during the coming month. Particularly is the process adapted to silver product, and as this mineral usually has associated a heavy lead content, the advtnage of having a home market will be factor in pro- noting many low grade mines to begin production. In connection with this reported movement by the Con solidated it was stated that a labora- tory model has conclusively demon stratcd the feasibility of the invcn- ton, hence a large plant for any in- dustrial capacity desired will be in stalled, the invention being new and approved after testing a varied line of ores in which high recovery was made of the galena
 If the Consolidated is to install the new apparatus. the revived silver in dustry throughout this county in scores of places will be relieved of heavy losses in the ordinary way of milling, high transportation to out side the state, and long wait in get ting final returns.
 It is known that at present there are many mines in this field which are shipping to Humboldt. but the only values given are in silver. the lead product being a total loss, in some cases ranging as high as Is per cent.
