BIC WELLS BOUGHT
 IN SAN SIMON VALLEY
A. H. 5ruce Secures 300 GaIion Flow Per Minute Two Miles East at
 Depth of 700 Feet

SAN SIMON. Dec. 20.-Completior has Eeeu made of two. of the very best artesian wells in thc entire San simon valley, both of which have been brought in within the past few days. says the Belt.
 The first well reported is that on the homestead of A. AI. Bruce about two miles east Cf town on the east side Of the railroad track. This well was drilled by Geo E. Sligh and the flow of goo gallons per minute was reached at a depth Of GOO feet. AIr Bruce put down five inch we'll and feels jubilant over his success.
 The second well is located on tho deseet claim of Mrs. P. Jenseen eight miles south and east of San Simon on the west side Of the creek. Driller Jess Averin encountered the flow al zoo feet and when completed jettej above the well casing to a height oi s g. inches, which, according to the government tables for measuring suct water flows, denotes a flow of Ago gal lens per minute. being the largest flow from any individual well vet drilled in the valley. TEis is mag nifcent flow secured at a remarkably shallow depth. and the driller, Mir. Averill, is proud of his success.
 These two magnificent wells send ing their great volumes of water, will se additional stimu ation to the won derfal transformation that Is nov going on in this great and soon to be famous artesian valley. They but add another chapter to the rapid de velopmeDt that Is now going on.
 Wells like these flowing 900 and 400 gallons of soft. pure water arr truly wonderful when the small cOs' Of drilling and cquiping them is con sidered.
 Tie various other well rigs are rounding away this week over she vaIIey and other good flows are an ticipated most any day.

Once upon a time there was little boy who didn't believe in Santa Claus.
 While with his mother on shopping tours ne had often observed four different Santas on as many street corners, The child had been taught 10 believe that Santa Claus was ob. lquitous in a manner of speaking. but seeing him so many times at once was stretching the point a bit, he thought Moreover, at home in an ole dresser drawer he had discovered some hemp wiIiskers and a red coat with bits of cotton sewed on it, simu- hting snow flakes. This had not strengthened his faith in the Kris Nringle legend materially And be- ing remarkably quick at figures he had added up two and two and got the correct answer. You will see that he was no ordinary child.
 One day he approached his parents while they bored over the depart ment store ads and addressed them in this fashion:

BANKING LAW
 WORKS HARDSHIP
County Treasurers are Hand icapped by New Statute Banks Obliged to Pay But Small Interest on Deposits

PHOENIX. Dec. 2O.-ariz0na's new
 aw governing the deposits of state and county funds is being disregarded practically in its entirety. There was nothing else for the state treasurer and the county treasurer to do. The banks simply refused to comply with the provisions of the statute.
 Five per cent of the states money is drawing four per. cent interest and the remainder is drawing only , per cent on daily balances. The average rate of interest which the state is receiving is about $40.
 Maricopa countys funds are dis. tribated among the various banks within her borders and are drawing ,wO per cent on daily balances. The san plan has been adopted in Co
 hi5s and is being taken up by the 'ther counties. upon recommendation ,f the attorney general and public ex- 3miner.
 The new law places a handicap on ~St'HS@ t4Se9SA Si9 and super V 4sp4s which Is not imposed upon the state reasurer. State Treasurer David F Johnscn has succeeded in efectins compromise arrangement into which the counties cannot enter.
 UE@sr the law the state treasurer an designate as many acfiye and in active Repositories for state funds, ss he chooses. The county treasurer has no power to designate Repositories. all that being done by the supervis- DTS. Any number of inactive Gepcs. tories can be designated in eouuty. put only one active depository.
 An active depository must pay two per cent on daily advances. An in- aetive depository is required to pay three per cent on money that remains ss long as three months and four per cent on money that remains six months or longer.
 la addition to paying these rates of interest all Repositories must. give security for funds deposited Snrety bonds or collateral are acceptable,
 Treasurer Johnson perceived before he law went into effect that the banks were not going to accept the provis- Ions The idea in passing the law as that the banks gould ie forced to
