MORE 111 TIDES
EXPECTED SOON
A Big Tide Is Predicted for To
morrow and Another One for
Thursday.
The tide table gives a high tide for
tomorrow and another one for Thurs
day, which will be within two inch
es of the recordibreaking tides of
last month. The time of high water
tomorrow is 11:55 a. m. and on Thurs
day the highest point will be touch
ed at 12:26 p. m.
Much will depend upon the con
dition of the wind and weather off the
entrance to the Sound, as to the ac
tual height of the tide, but there is
no question that the snow will have
the effect of holding the water back
on the tide flats.

GREASERS SHOOT
ACROSS THE LINE
Pay No Attention To the Orders From
Washington to Stop Shooting
Americans.
NACO, Dec. lf».—The Mexicans con
tinue to tire across the American bor
der and more people have been hit
by stray bullets. The conditions are
becoming intolerable. The presence of
the federal troops are needed more
to restrain the Americans, who wish
to cross the line and clean out the
“greasers,” than for any other rea
son. The Mexicans seem to care
little for the protests of the Amer
ican commander. The 9th cavalry is
patroling the border and is trying to
prevent the non-combatants from
coming near the border.
(The three batteries of field artil
lery have taken positions from which
they can rake the Mexican positions.
Trouble is expected here over the re
fusal of the Mexicans to prevent
shots across the line into Arizona.
Governor Hunt has made another
protest to Washington and demands
further protection for the citizens of
he state.
MINING WASTE IS
MILLION A DAY
WASHINGTON,, Dec. 15—Director

of mining and lack of experience is
the chief causes for the large amount
of waste, which should be stopped.
The Department of Mines is striving
to educate the mine owners of the
country to the newer methods to
conserve the values.
