but many lawyers who have read the
testimony given before the former board
Of Inquiry tell me that important and

much light upon the question whether
my son killed himself or was killed by

The United States is bringing
to o close it's labors in preparing
for submission to the Hague the
New Founland fisheries dispute
which has tried the souls of
American and English diplomat
lists for almost century, pFae-
tically ever since the ratification
of the treaty of 1918. In submit
ting its claims 10 arbitration the
United States is setting TO the
world an example which other
nations may well profit by and
which Bolivia, in her indignation
at the award of certain disputed
territory TO Peru, would do we'll
to consider. There is no doubt
in the minds Of American states
men as to the rights OF this coun-
try, no question as to- the Unjust

actually produces the money it,
self, or that which is as valuable
as money, and so he has q per-
feet right to every penny that
comes his way.
This is the sort of money that
ArizOnans bring to Los Angeles
in the summer, and they bring
lots of it.
Last summer local merchants
estimated the people of Arizona
who spent the heated term in
this city. and on the beaches in
this vicinity, spent at least 3d.
900, 900 in making themselves
comfortable. This was NOT
money thrown away, but money
thut was spent sensibly for that
which has O greater value than
money. In 1903 Arizona led the
world in the production of cop.
per, and copper that year sold
as high as 25 cents pound,
The slump in copper led Arizona
to devote more attention to gold
mining, with the resul that sew
eral new and important mining
districts haye been opened in
that territory.
Arizona is increasing in popu-
lation every day through the de-
velopment of tremendous irriga-
ton projects, which attract @
fine class of scientific farmers.
In this respect California often
reciprocates. Citizens of Salinas
alone have in the last two years
invested several hundred thous-
and dollars in the rich Yuma
valley, under the great Laguna
dam. So while Arizonans spend
millions here in the summer, the
tide of gold often flows back to-
them again.

Asbestos in Arizona.

In late report issued by the
United States Geological Survey
it is declared that the best as.
bestos yet found in the country
occurs in Arizona. The report
says:
''The best asbestos yet found
anywhere in the United States
occurs in O national monument
near the bottom of the Grand
Canyon Of Arizona. The quality
of the asbestos is exceptional, as
is also the grandeur of the seen
|ery in its locality and the pecu-
Eliarity Of it's mode of occurrence.
''It is cross fiber, chrysotile,
|and locally the fiber is four inch
es in length. This locality has
been described in Mineral Re
sources for 1908 and 1907. The
asbestos outcrop being 1000 feet
abhve the bottom of the canyon
on the north side, the asbestos
must be packed on donkeys
about D dozen miles down one
side Of the canyon and up the
other 1000 feet to the brink upon
the south side, from whic point
it must be hauled 20 miles to
the railroad for shipment.
The asbestos is associated with
belt of limestone where affect
ed by an intrusion of diabese.
The serpentine Including the
cbrysotile is supposed to haYe
been derived from pyroxene con-
tanned in the limestone, and forms
a narrOW belt in the limestone
wherever influenced by the dl-
abese.
"The rocks have recently been
studied in deteal by l.. F. Noble,
who has traced the asbestos for
a number of miles west from
Asbestos creek, and has shown
that it probably occurs on the
west side of Powel's Butte.
This asbestos outcrop. though
narrow and no5 continuous, Oc-
ours at intervals in the same
horizone for many miles in the
depths of the Grand Canyon.
The inaccessibility of it's To-
cality and the difficulty of min
ing so thin mass will limit the
to open cuts along
the outcrop, permitting shipment
Of only the hand cobbed, best
grade of material. A small
quantity of such material, less
than Car load, has been bro't |
Of the canyon from the prospects
near Bass's ferry, but none has
been sold. "
