Cent of Receipts.

Bills carrying out the ship subsidy
plan it was said will be introduced
simultaneously in the senate and
house by Senator Jones and Repre-
sentative Green, chairmen respective
ly of the merchant marine committee
of the senate and house.

ATMAN BOOM
 STRENGTHENED
Between Twelve and Fourteen Millions Blocked Out in New Gold District; Oatnan Stocks Called on Frisco Curb

Tendencies to strengthen the Oat- man mining boom are still observable at that camp, according to George A. Shea, superintendent Of the Pioneer Home, who returned from Mohave county yesterday. A mark of the for ward movement of the camp IS seen in the fact that for the first time since the l9l6 boom, a dozen Oatman mining stocks were called on the San Francisco curb yesterday.
 Estimates by engineers from maps showing the position of diamond drill holes into the now famous rhyolite dike, vary from $l2,0G0,OOO to $l4,- .000,000 for the value Of the new gold ores blocked out The Oatman United which discovered the possibilities of the dille at depth, has shot its holes at various angles into the formation, and these explorations tend to fix the extent and character of the new ore body.

RAILWAY MEN
 OPEN IN SITE
CFrom Friday's pailyl

A good deal of information not previously available here on the posi- ton of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen with reference to the estab lishment of an institution in this state, became available yesterday from various sources.
 It is not a tuberculosis sauitarium that the union organization desires to build, but a home for disabled members. Among these, injury due to their calling, and old age are the chief causes of disability.
 Upon learning that the railway union desired location where the disabled members would not have to be cooped up in an institution, but could be held together and cared for i in climate open the year round, Art Davis prepared an offer to the union to donate q site at Williamson valley, together with a substantial sum toward the erection of buildings. This offer was to be made through the proper channels, and notice was to be sent to Representative Alfred Gale, who yesterday advised the chamber of commerce that an effort would be made in the house 10 elini- nate any recommendation of 2 city in Arizona for this institution.
 In a communication to the Journal Miner in reply to an inquiry on this subject, Mir. Gale said that the reason Tucson was recommended was that the trainmen's committee had appar- ently selected either Tncson or Fl Paso, and it was the desire of the senate to keep the establishment ir Arizona if possible.
 That the choice was not so limited was the declaration of a local dele gate to the B. R. T. annual conven, ton to be held two months hence The matter Of a hospital or home had been brought up several years ago by the fraternity and dropped because of the war.
 Now, he said, it was to be revived and it was the desire of the loca delegations to have the matter pre- sented fairly in behalf of all Arizon; to the board of trustees that would be in charge of the entire matter a the coming convention.

 A battle for fair will be staged in Yavapai county during the spring months. On one side will be arrayed the United States biological survey, the state and county. and on the other the four-legged pests which in fest the ranges Of the mother of counties.
 As the ehief mogul Of the destruc- tionists, L. L. Laythe, assistant to ID. A. Gilchrist, director of the work l in Arizona, has arrived in Prescott and will remain somewhat in the vicinity of the county agents and chamber of commerce offices. His cl}ief duty will be in mixing the pois- oned grain and in giving demonstra- tions in its use.
 One rule which will be strictly en- forced regardless of consequences will be that only those farmers and ranchers who pre-bait first will be furnished poison. To the layman pre-bait has the same significance as "entangling alliances but in reality it means that grain without poison must first be sprinkled near the holes of the gophers and prairie dogs. Pre- bait and poisoned grain will be fur nished free to clear average size farms Ranches or farms requiring more than the average can receive it aP actual cost Distributing agencies for poison and pre-bait have been established at the chamber of com merce. the county agents office, in Prescott; C. A. Staunton's store at Dewey; Egbert Butchers store at Skull Valley and Wm. Woods ranch at Skull Valley.
 Laythe will be remembered as the "poisoner" in charge of this work last spring On the Hooper ranch in Chino valley, Laythe had the distinc- ton of eradicating 10000 dogs.
 The entire county will be visited on the cleanup and all farmers. stockmen and orchardists are request ed to cooperate in the spring clean up campaign Laythe will be in Yavapai county until April lst.
