MINERS WORKING 600
 FEET ABOVE BISBEE

Bisbee, Arizona, October 24.-The popular theory that miners usually .go down in the mines' when the shift begins, is being smashed to smithereens by several hundred men kere who are employed in the South vest division of the Copper Queen Branch; Phelps Dodge Corporation. Miners and muckers in the Southwest division Ego up in the mines" 600 feet to get 200 feet below the surface. And. while working underground, H,ey are actually GOO feet above the city of Bisbee.
 This peculiar state of affairs is not as complicated as it may seem. South west division employees enter the mine by what is known as the Copper Queen tunnel level. Walking several hun dred yards in the tunnel they reach the Sunrise Shaft Here they board . huge elevator-hoist and are taken

NAVY DAY" OBSERVED
 THROUCHT NATION

Today, Friday, October 27th, has been designated as Navy Day., and, at the suggestion of the navy depart ment, will be celebrated in thousands of cities and towns. A Navy Day Chairman" has been appointed in each state in the Union and these chairmen are now working in cooperation with state and city officials, schools, army and navy officers and civic and fra ternal organizations for the purpose of arranging special meetings and programs for October 27th.
 John c. Greenway, of Warren, has been appo ointed chairman for Arizona. Greenway has served in the army through two wars but never in the navy. However, he is going ahead with plans for Navy Day" with as much enthusiasm as if there had never been a bit of friendly rivally y between the "gobs" and "doughboys".
 In officially approving plans for Navy Day., Theodore Roosevelt, as sistant secretary of the navy, wrote recently to the Navy League: "Your idea is sound in every way. I think it particularly good because of cer- tain physical conditions we have in the country. The people of the sea board are reasonably familiar with the Navy. They see the great. ships. They know the Navy men. In the in- terior of our country it is, however, different story. The people of Kan sas and Oklahoma do not get the op- portunity for fir sion-tahrnfdearsyob portunity for first-hand information that their fellow countrymen of Cali fornia and New York do They do not

up 600 feet above the tunnel entrance to the mine, which is located in a high mountain that towers above the Bis bee district. When the shift is over the mine forces, instead of being car ried to the surface, are lowered again to the tunne! level.
 Mining engineers, veteran employees of the company and many new, ex- perienced copper miners, working in the district for the first time, declare that the Sunrise shaft elevator-plan hoist one of the biggest, and most modern, in the southwest. Improve ment o fthe hoisting facilities at the Sunrise shaft is the most recent of the many improvements that have been made in the Bisbee district mines during the last two years.
 The "cage" of the new hoist is 4 feet 8 inches wide and 10 feet 2 inches in length. It accommodates 36 men comfortably and can lift or lower a load of tons with ease at a speed of 800 feet per minute. The cage can be controlled either from the hoist, at the top of the shaft, or from the cage itself, along lines similar to the control of a passenge elevator in

skyscraper. The hoist motor, of 120 horsepower, is located in a huge steel tower directly above the top of the shaft, the drum of the hoist taking the place of the usual sheave-wheel. A huge counterweight of 11,65O pounds makes the action of the hoist almost identical with that of an ele- vator.
 In addition to hauling men between the tunnel level and the Southwest division workings, the Sunrise hoist is used to handle all the supplies for the division. The length of the cage makes it possible to roll loaded tim Der trucks directly into the cage, raise or lower them to whatever level is de- sired, and roll the trucks off again. This has speeded up the transmission of timber and other supplies. For merly the timbers were unloaded from the trucks, placed mend in the small CT cages, taken up Or down, removed from the cage and again loaded on trucks.
 The Southwest division, for years a great copper producer, is now also producing between 1900 and 1900 tons of lead ore a month. This ore is be- ing handled at the Fl Paso smelter
 Many former employees of local cop per producing companies, returning after absences of from several months to more than year, are finding that the Bisbee district has been far from inactive during the depression in the copper industry. Millions of dollars have been expended by the Copper Queen Branch and Calumet & Ari- zona Mining Company in improving their surface and underground work ings, and these improvements are con- tinuing in spite of the fact that many men formerly on development work have been shifted to actual mining with the resumption of ore produc- ton.

realize that the Navy serves them equally with people of the seaboard. I hope you will make a special en- deavor to familiarize the citizens of our great inland states with the every day service their Navy does for them. The Navy will be glad to cooperate with you in any way it can. I am confident this really patriotic work will be of great service to the coun- try"
 Arizona has been represented in the United States Navy since 1863. The first battleship Arizona" was an iron sidewheel steamer of 995 tons, only 200 feet in length. The propelling machinery consisted of one beam en- zine of eleven feet stroek and one boiler and her personnel was made up of nine officers and eighty-two men.
 The second Arizona" was a first class screw frigate built by the navy and launched in 1865. Compared to the first of her name, this frigate was a giant. She was a wooden vessel of 3S50 tons, 335 feet long.
 The third warship to bear the name of this state is one of Uncle Sam's first line fighting ships. She is of the dreadnaught type of 31,000 tons and was commissioned October 16, 1916. Soon after the "U. s. s. Ari- zona' Joined the Atlantic fleet, to which she was attached during the World War.

 Dr. House has been experimenting with the anesthesia for years, he told members of the association, and de- clared in that period, during which he had tried the twilight sleep method of securing evidence on a number of alleged criminals and others in his own state he had never failed in any attempt to rob the mind of its stored truths.

With More Than $4,000.

Carnegie, Okla, Jan. 3.-John
Weems, who recently escaped from
the penitentiary at McAlester, was
shot and seriously injured late today
by posse member during thrilling
automobile chase following the rob
bing of the Washita Valley bank at

sight, he forced the cashier to open
the vault and it also was rifled of cash
With his loot of more than $4,000
Weems walked outside to small car
in which a negro was waiting and
drove away.
Citizens hurriedly formed a posse
and followed. Although out of range
one OF the posse fired shot at the
fleeing men. One shot struck Weems
behind the ear, rendering him uncOn-
scious. The negro abandaned the car
a mile from Fort Cobb and escaped to

SETTING IDLE MEN TO WORK

Among the communities that did
especially fine service in starting
public works to provide employment
for idle men, was Gardner, Massa-
chusetts. This city of 1900 felt
keenly last summer the distress of
about 500 men who were without jobs
1t was decided to be good policy to
take UP needed public works, and put
them along and give these men a
chance to earn something.
These unemployed men cleared and
graded and built the foundation for a
new town hall, they constructed a
fine concrete road, they developed a
ball park and cemetery. Altogether
the town laid out 100000 and pro-
vided means Of support for men who
otherwise would have had to ask help
of the town to keep going.
They have completed needed i'm
provements, which would have prob
ably cost them more if they had
waited, and they have given work
ingmen the impression that their
home town cares for the welfare of
it's citizens.
The city Of Monett has been doing
considerable work along this line. 1t
has just extended its water system
at cost of $4,000. This has employ
ed a large number of men and the
city itself is benefited by getting a
better fire protection and in giving
better water service to large section
Of the town.
Monett now has a new city Jail and
a machinery storage house in pro-
cess of erection, which is giving en-
ployment to several.
The citizens expect to begin the
erection of large dehydration plant
within few weeks and the Masonic
lodge has already begun work on a
new temple. New dwellings are be-
ing put up this winter. All of these
improvements give men employment
at time of the year when work is
usually slack.
Those who have travelled over the
country recently state that employ
ment conditions at Monet are better
than in any other community they
have visited.
