SCOTCH SYNDICATE
GETS CLEOPATRA


One of the largest mining trans
actions that has ever been con-
summated in this section of the
State will be closed up today at
Jerome, when the Cleopatra group
of twelve patented mines will be
acquired by a syndicate of Dundee,
Scotland, capitalists, under what is
reported to be a lease, with an
agreement that also carries sale
clause after a certain period expires.
The controlling interest in the
Cleopatra is held by G. w. Hull,
and representing the Scotch syndi-
cate is J. J. Hawkins, the attorney
of this city, who left yesterday for
the property to take formal posses
sion for his clients Negotia; ions
have been pending for the past
three months, and coincident with
the acquiring OF the property, a
large line of development is to be
vigorously prosecuted, and imme-
diately, was the statement made
yesterday by those interested.
The Cleopatra has several thou
sand feet of underground explora-
ton, and immense bodies of copper
ores are exposed. The group ad-
joins on the southwest the United
Verde.

QUITS OFFICE
OF CITY ATTORNEY
(From Wednesdays Daily


+. L. Haworth resigned as City
Attorney at the regular monthly
meeting of the City Council Monday
evening, his resignation to take eff
feet on the first OF next month. The
reason given for this unexpected and
surprising action was ill-health.
Mr. Haworth has had his strength
taxed to the breaking point within
the last two months. The strenuous
honor OF being chairman of the
Frontier celebration executive COM
mittee was forced upon him and
that he made good" was evident
by the throngs that invaded Pres
colt on that occasion. At one time,
however, the multitudinous duties
incidental to the position proved too
great a strain and he was forced to
take to his bed for several Gays.
However, he picked up his bed and
walked" and as a result Prescott
never has had a celebration that ap-
preached the one just closed. That
was fine for Prescott but bad for
Haworth. Now he has to give up
his job with the city to which he
was appointed at the beginning of
the administration of Mayor Timer
hoff If a successor has been de
cided upon by the Council that body
has not yet taken the public into
its confidence.
The only other business transacted
was the ordering of the improvement
of Mt. Vernon avenue and the re-
ceiving and filing of the monthly
reports of the various city officials.

Mr.. Cobb speaks enthusiastically

would build from a point

agreed upon, to Prescott and Flag

MUCH Benefit TO FARMERS
Should Get Together on Propositions
to Sell Products and on Securing
Lower Rates.

Farmers may learn something from
the experience of other business
Many manufacturers have not capital

is common for them to make an agree.
ment with a commission merchant
by which he loans money to the man
ufacturer, receives the manufactured
goods on consignment. sells them.
and out of the proceeds repays the
loan, and turns the balance over to
the manufacturer. The commission
merchant employs a competent per-
son to watch the process of manufac-
ture to see that 1t is done to the best
advantage. Experience shows that
this arrangement is advantageous to
both parties. Improvements suggest
ed by the merchants agent are often
a great benefit to the manufacturer,
writes Everett P. Wheeler in the Ru-
raj New Yorker. His goods are sold
to much better advantage than he
could sell them himself, and he gets
the capital which he needs.
1t seems to me that a similar ar
rangement could be worked out by a
group of farmers in any county. If
they would club together. get in touch
with some of the commission mer-
chants who make a business of selling
farm products. they could make an
agreement by which money should be
advanced upon their crops, and these
crops should be consigned for sale
to the commission merchant. Agree
ments could be made for lower freight
rates. II the farm products we're
shipped by the carload
OF course the success of such a
business would depend entirely upon
the efficiency and good faith of those
engaged in it. But this Is true of ev-
cry business. There are many COM
mission merchants who do their bust
ness well and honestly. Every farmer
who has had experience knows who
the commission merchants are that
sell his products to the best advan-
tage. In short, all this business can
be done il the farmers will combine
and work together in any particular
locality. There Is nothing that the
federal government can do for them
except possibly to investigate the sub
ject. The federal government has no
more power to charter societies for
the purpose than it has to run a dis
trict school II incorporation should
be needed, the state laws offer ample
facilities for the purpose 1t is not
new legislation that is wanted. It is
really cooperation among the farm
ers.

smelly kerosene lamps for illumina-
ton and the luxuries Of life fewer
than you'd expect to find in an Ari-

washing her over the bar into shoal

there high and dry.
The funny thing about this particu-

1t was along about four years ago
that the steamer Osiris of the Kos

off Ocos. Guatemala, when an earth
quake shook that part Of the world
and was followed by a tidal wave big
enough to pick up the steamship as
II she had been a fishing smack and
carry her over the intervening sand
banks to a point near the beach.

two reefs just sufficiently far apart
to provide her with a comfortable
girdle.
When her crew left her, judging
her to be Of no further use, a citizen
OF Ocos, who had some experience of
civilized life. rowed out to the unin-
jured wreck and cast a speculative
eye over her contents. Later, he sent
to Mexico for the necessary mate

Its gullet-and then struggled for
more. To think Of having a real cleo
trio lighting plant! 1t was hardly to
be believed. And every citizen of
Ocos lorded 1t over the citizens of
the other village seaports along the
Guatemalan coast which could not
boast such muniflcent luxury.
Then, behold, as Joy and pride were
at their height, what should happen
