GILBERT SATISFIED
WITH CLIMATE
Of YAVAPA|
WillLocate a Ranch And
Stay to Help Build
Great State
(From Sundays Daily)

i. g. Gilbert Of Dewey visited tho
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday. One
Of the objects of Mr. Gilberts visit
was 10 find I'd. Carson, the Montana
stock raiser and farmer who came
from Townsend in that state about
two weeks ago at the instigation Of
Secretary Fraser.
Mr.. Gilbert. who is well known to
all residents Of Yavapai county, be.
lieves sincerely that the coming OF
Carson and others from the north.
west will solve the problem Of the
agricultural future Of this county.
In Montana, all the farmers are
men Of substance. They are happy in
their own country. but they dread the
intensity of the cold winters that pre-.
vail there. With this exception. ac.
cording TO Gilbert. they would never
leave dear old Montana, as the citi.
zenship in that country is not to be
cxcelled anywhere in the world.
Gilbert. who has been warm
friend OF the Chamber Of Commerce
since its organization. in talk with
Il. n. Fredericks yesterday, warmly
recommended that the chamber use
its utmost publicity effort toward
securing population for Yavapai coun.
" from among the stockraisers and
farmers Of Montana and Wyoming.
Mr. Carson is delighted with the
climatic asset which Yavapai affords
at this time of the year. He says
that from indications regarding the
agricultural possibilities of our eoun.
~, he will be enabled to secure the
settlement here Of over thirty famil.
les, within the next few months. Car.
son is driving behind his team Of
thoroughbreds all over Yavapai coun.
~, with view Of locating a suitable
ranch. lie knows all about stock.
raising and farming and stated to
Secretary Fraser that none Of the
men whom he proposes to bring into
this county will be of less rating
than $4,000 in wealth.
In the course Of his conversation.
Carson said; that, from the time he
left La Junta, Colo, he was toutcd
off at every watering place by "cap.
pers," who strongly urged him to
make his destination Phoenix instead
of Prescott.

STRONG COMPANY TO
OPERATE AT MAYER

One Of the development PROPOSE.
tions which Is attracting attention in
the Mayer district is the Arizona
Merger Gold and Copper company,
which has taken over the Lyon, South
Mountain, Ratoon, Black Eagle, and
Cedar Mountain properties, in all o.
claims.
william A. Mcars, financial agent
OF the company, arrived in Prescott
yesterday from Los Angeles, and will
leave this morning for the properties
to make thorough inspection, and
start men to work on the various
groups. lie will look thoroughly into
all the conditions and lay plans for
future operations. After his visit to
the property, he will go TO New York
City to confer with his associates in
the deal. From New York, he will
90 10 Montreal, Canada, and from
there TO London, England. He says
that there will be no stock sold in
tho enterprise until people Of suffi.
cicnt strength to develop the ground
and equip II are interested. That the
property will make another great cop.
per producer, IL the firm belief OF
Mr.. Mears, and every local mining
man who knows the ground agrees
with him In his belief.
On the Lyon property there Is a
shaft $50 feet deep and the sulphide
condition has already been reached.
This shaft will be continued 20 the
1000 foot level. Negotiations are un.
der way with the Arizona Power com.
pany for connecting up their line
with this property. II IL desired TO
install electrical machinery Of the
most modern and approved types for
the various equipment to be used.
The Lyon group consists of thirteen
patented claims, and water, roads. and
all conditions are favorable for econ.
omieai operation. The various other
groups aggregate fifty claims, none
OF which are patented, but all OF
which will be patented during the
coming year.
IL is pleasing TO hear Mr.. Mears
discuss tho mining situation and ms
he thoroughly understands every pbase
Of II. He sees great future for
Arizona as the copper country. He
recognizes the great mineral possibiI.
tiles OF the state, and says that he
does not except any part OF the globe
when he accords TO Arizona the great.
est undeveloped resources in mineral
lie Is heartily in favor Of the sen,i.
ment which Is strong in this section
OF the country against the flowery
talking fakes. And be classifies an
ignorant failure with the actual faker
so far as the effect on the investor
Is concerned. That Arizona has never
had what can be termed a real min.
ing boom is recognized by Mr. Mears.
and while he deprecates the founda
tionless boom, he feels that the in.
trinsic merits OF this country will
some time bring about real boom
such as has never attended any other
mining field.

S1IoN NUISANCE SOLVED By RIGHTLY
ADJUSTING THE FURNACE

of wealth to the nation that far exceeds
the money expended for it. This nation
is particularly poor in fertilizers and this
artificial method of securing it openS up
a new vista Of rejuvenated farms and
profitable agriculture.
The students Of fuel problems early
found that the smoke nuisance incidental
to 1t was largely due TO incomplete COM
bustion. The black particles that go off
in smoke are perfectly good carbon and
capable of yielding up Their share of
energy. But they are not burned in the
furnaces from which they come and as
a consequence become q nu Sance 10 the
community and do 1t material damage.
In fact study OF the damage done all
things from linen to the paint on build
ings brought the conclusion that the city
jewellers of the nation pay annuallS
greater tribute to the smoke nu sance
than they do to the government in taxes
The conservationists first idea was 10
bring about a more complete combustion
of coal This has done much toward les
SEEMING the amount of smoke that comes
from q given chimney. The equipment
of the given furnace and the air feed
was of primary Importance. The peoTie
are being shown just the right thing in
furnace equipment. The bureau of m mes
can tell the housewife more about the
burning Of coal than she ever dreamed
before and will do it for the asking.
The smoke nuisance is also greatly re-
duced by the gas producing ENGINE me
great saving in fuel thus secured has led
to the installation of several hundred
producer gas power plants throughout the
United States within the last decade. In
the smaller installations anthracite coal
is largely used, but bituminous Goals.
lignites and peats serve as the fuels in
the larger plants. These producer plants
are practically smokeless during their
operating period. When fires are first
kindled more or less smoke is discharged
into the atmosphere, but as soon as this
preliminary period is over no more smoke
issues from the plant until such time as
it becomes necessary to clean the pro-
Queer and rekindle new fires. In certain
types of installations operating under
suitable conditions the fires need not be
drawn for months. and sometimes for
years. In these cases it is no exaggera-
ton to state that they are absolutely
smokeless. With other types Of plants
or under conditions which do not lend
themselves to long periods of operation
without shutdowns, the kindling of new
fires is more frequent, but even in these
cases 1t is seldom necessary to produce
smoke oftener than once a week and then
for a very short period only.
But the principle of the great central
station for producing power. such as that
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany, is a still greater step toward an
abatement of the smoke nuisance. If in
dustry ever reaches that stage when 1t
