 Father Rouselle explained to the Examiner that a parochial school will not take the place of the public school because it is a private school and tuition must be paid for, and he contends that such school will tend to bring to Yuma winter tourists of wealth who do not now come here be- cause there is no such school and who go to other places where private schools exist

ARIZONA |S GREATEST COPPER PRODUCER,
 HAS OUTPUT IF 4 MILLION POUNDS DAILY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 24.- Arzona ranks first among the states in the production of copper, and cop per mining is by far the mainstay of the mining industry of the State, ac- cording to E. w. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey. The re coverable copper content of the ores produced in Arizona in 1912 was 365,- 038,649 pounds, million pounds a day. The value of this product was $60,231, ,377. In 1911 the recoverable copper content of the ores produced in Arizona was 3O6,141,5 53S pounds, valued at $3S S,267 ,692. The increase in 1912 was 5S,S97,111 pounds, or 1922 per cent, in quantity, and $21, ,963,685, or 57.4 per cent. in value. The total val

Nearly one-third of the gold output is obtained in the reduction of copper ores, and most of the silver also comes from copper ores. Arizona pro- duces also considerable quantities of lead and zinc, the former amounting n 1912 to 3,403 short tons, valued at $306,290, and the latter to 4,379 short tons, valued at $6O4,319. The total value of the metallic contents of the ores producted in Arizona in 1912 was 67,060,3 ,350, or more than 99 per cent of the total mineral production of the State.

 Second among the mineral products of Arizona is gold, in which the State ranks seventh. The only other impor- tant mineral product is silver, in which Arizona ranks sixth in produc- tion. The three metals, copper, gold, and silver, constitute nearly 98 per cent of the total production of the

YUMA OLD-T|MER n
 BID ON HIGHWAY WORK

Yuma's half million dollars of road
 bonds has attracted wide notice, and little doubt exists of favorable sale of these bonds at the proper time. At the present time A. A. Dougherty of Los Angeles is here going into the details of the bond matter with the. board of supervisors. Mr. Dougherty is willing to contract to build roads for Yuma county as per specifications and to take bonds in payment when the work is completed, which would obviate the necessity of having a very large amount of money lying idle while construction work is in progress.
 Strange to say, MT. Dougherty is a Yuma pioneer, but is known to very few present-day Yumaites. He came to Yuma before the flood-not the Noah flood, but Yumas flood of 1891 when many citizens lost their all MT. Dougherty then had only his kit of tools; but he has since grown wealthy as the result of his energy and abili- ty as contractor, at various points where his work has called him. He is now anxious to return to Yuma and help build this promising section and knows of no better way than to start in on the building of Yuma roadways.
 MT. Douglas has been here for sev- eral days and his investigations may keep him here several days longer.

Geo. A. Corbus, foreman on the Ex- aminer last year, stopped over in Yuma over Sunday, enroute to Phoe- nix. MT. Corbus has been at Flag staff where he stayed until driven out by the extreme cold weather.

FRANK NAKAMOTA REMARKS ON
 EFFICIENCY IF DUR WEEKLY PAPER

Our good Japanese friend, Frank Y. Nakamota who graduated froms the Yuma Grammar and High Schools and is now at Stanford University writes most interesting letter on a subject of much interest to local news paper readers.
 Frank speaks some telling truths. The Examiner thoroughly agrees with our friend on nearly all of the points covered and it is with pleasure that we give space to his splendid letter, which follows:
 Palo Alto, Cal. Nov 22, 1913. MT. W. H. Shorey,
 Editor of Arizona Sentinel"
 Yuma, Arizona.
 Dear sir:-
 I appreciate very much your prompt ness and regularity in forwarding your paper. But from the subscribers point of view, would like to make the following suggestion
 I think that no subscriber to the weekly paper of a small town expects to learn from it anything about big Politics nor to make himself ac- quainted with matters of international or even national concern. The mu jority of your subscribers, I believe, have once been in Yuma and want to keep their interest there and per chance to tell their friends about the place. Thus, they are revealing to the outside the bare facts concerning the good old town, backed by the credence that they have lived there. It is not always good policy to boost the town, in the colloquial sense of the word, but it pays to tell the oppor tunity-seeking people what is really going on about the town and what kind of a place it is. This necessita- tes, on the part of the residents, that they get together and develop Gods own gifts, even build up and engage in real business, without bothering with speculation, as for instance, in land On the other hand, it is wise to supply the subscribers who live in distant places with abundant mate rials which they can make use of in order to attract outsiders.
 At least, from my own point of view, I care more to know about the crops, and the progress. if any. in making get tariff news from the National cap itaL I like to know about business in the town, doings in the schools, in the Commercial club, in churches, and various social happenings rather than to be informed of the latest style of fashion in the east. l do not blame you for writing about politics; on the contrary, like it only if it is concern ing the home and the neighboring states.
 The point is to keep the paper in- teresting in local way, but l am not ignorant of difficulty in filling the large space with news of purely local matters Yet I don't think it is ex- tremely difficult either, as you yoir- self said, with 5000 people living quite close together you are bound to have all the possible human storlss going on about you, and probably Ill the kinds of people there are. For yourself, if you have the pen to write, the brush to paint, the chisel to carve,

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT MAKES
 REPORT ON VISITS ID DISTRICTS

A visit to one or more of our busy rural schools will repay any one who will take the time to stop in on the way through our prosperous little val ley. The introduction of free text books has added months of extra work to the office of the county su- perintendent, and for that reason the visits made to the rural schools have come a little later than was first planned. At this date, however, each valley school has received it's first official visit by the superintendent.
 By personal visitation and by cor respondence this office will keep in close touch with the work done in the various schools. Plans are being made for exhibit work to be sent in to the office at some stated time, and for various contests in school work. Announcement of this work will be more definitely made a little later.
 A careful record of visits is be- ing kept by card system in the office of the county superintendent The following is a condensed record of the first visit to the various schools:
