ii. W. Rlaisdell, of Yuma, was in the !
city Tuesday. He had been TO the
Mohawk mine for the purpose of pass 9
ing expert judgment on the feasibility
OF q pipe line from the San Pedro river
to the mine. His OPINION is that 1t can
be done withou: doubt. The elevation a
of the mine is but 500 feet above the y
rver. At the Cargo Muchacho mine. !;
In California, he pumped agai1 st 1000
foot pressure for fourteen miles. If the u
Mohawk company pump water TO the s
mine instead OF hauling ore to tie wa 5
ter it will, says Mr.. Blaisdell, result in
a saving of over one dollar a ton. Had
this been done at the Mammoth the
mine would have bad a profitable mar
gin from the beginning.
The benefit of Mammoth wholesale @
house never showed to better advantage a
than in the present LABOR crisis. When :

tions for coffee. sugar and staple gre. /
les from merchants and outlying {
towns. Even PhoenIx rushed to the a
fare for quotations. AZ many of these a
demands were largely speculative, on il
the prolongation of the traffic tie up and G
its inevitable results, they we're so o
treated and an order for a dozen sacks d
of coffee or sugar was generally divided
by four or at least cut in two. The Sim
of the firm, with their immense stock,
was to protect their patons, both at I
home and aboad. Ba- ed Oh this estimate
the frm could have carried almost the
entire country for two weeks longer at
least without receiving an additional
pound of material.
Clarence Nc Dermott, we'll known u
young man Of this town, left Arizona 3
about four months ago and went to 4
Sonora to seek fame and fortune. He t
bad a working capital of about forty O
dollars. At Msgdalens he met Mexic- \
a ] friend who induced him TO put bis o
$40 dollars t. the wheel and join him in I
the develop nent Of certain g Id prop I
erty. As the proposition resembled C
much the one he bad been looking for, Z
he made the necessary purchases OF v
t ,olI and provisions and they went to U
work. At he end of four months an Z
American offered them 1920 for their {
property. Six hundred dollars apiece, I
in American gold, looked, to the two d
