TO WORK HARQUA HALA.

PRESCOTT, AriZ., June 19.-Ample
capital has been provided for the de-
velopment OF the property of the
Yuma-WarriOr Mining company, which
is better known as the old Harqua
Hala mine. In the early days this
was one of the most important gold
producers OF the west, monthly ship
ments OF bullion running as high as
100000. The property has record
OF $5,OOO,OOO in dividends, and much
gold was taken out by thieves.
| Much rich ore has been developed
in the Harqua Hala since it dropped
out of the list of producers The
present company has erected plant
on the property. 1t is now stated
that the plant will be in operation
within sixty days
Operations are to be resumed on
the midnight Test mine, in the Groom
Creek district. Col. X. ID. Chase,
Cnc Of the principal owners, is COM

take charge.
The Midnight Test has main
working shaft 400 feet in depth and
much good ore has been blocked out.
A ten-stamp mill. hosting plant and
other appliances are on the ground
with accommodations for a large
number Of miners
Owing to warm weather, opera
tions at several properties in the
TiptoD district have been suspended
for the summer. The principal
camp is that maintained by the In
spiration Mining company, which is
keeping a ton.stamp mill running
steadily. A new plant of the same
capacity IS being installed.

WANT TO DUST PHILLIPS.

Alleging that John C. Phillips
superior court Judge of Maricopa
county has proved himself incom-
petent and that in the past few
months he has refused to permit
Justice to pass upon issues of fact
before his court and also that he
seems to favor the man of wealth
and the corporation as against the
working man, petitions were circu-
lated for the first time this after
noon for his recall
Since the time OF the action or
Judge Phillips in the superior court
when he took the case of Joseph
Strinker against the Ray Consoli
dated Copper company from the
jury and ordered a verdict in thr
defendants favor, there have beel
rumors of recall petition beiny,
circulated. The men behind the
movement did not at once take steps
toward organizing the petition until
several days ago, and they are just
off the press today-Arizona Dem.

YUMA WANTS BOUNDARY SUR
VEY

Advices from Yuma are that thc
ancient dispute regarding the boun
dary between Maricopa and Yum;
continues and is likely to be taker
| into court.
Yuma county wants Maricopa &C
pay half the expenses of having the
line surveyed by the two county sur
veyors and at least one disinteresteC
party. F. E. Elliott came to- PhoeniE
and presented the Yuma proposition
to the supervisors, who declined tt
agree. They saw no reason why the
expense of resurveying the boundary
should be incurred at this time.
The dispute regarding the exac
location OF the boundary has been &C
ing on at intervals for years. Yuma
claims that the line is several miles
east cf where it was fixed by the
original surveys, made years ago
The accuracy of the survey is Ques
toned.
At various times Yuma county has
tried to obtain resurvey at the eX
pense of the state or the two cOun
ties. If it can be proved that the
boundary is really several miles eas:
of where it is supposed to be- Yuma:
jurisdiction will be extended and sey
eral miles of both the Southern Pa
cific and Arizona e. California rail
roads will be taxed in Yuma instead
Of Maricopa There is little othe;
valuable property in the disputed
strip.
The western boundary of Yavapai
is continuation of the line betweel,
Yuma and Maricopa. Ii Yuma should
prove that the line is legally east
ward, the Mohave- Yavapai boundary
would also have to be moved and Nc
have would gain several miles OF tho
Santa Fe road
Orders have been issued by the
supervisors of Yuma to the county
attorney to bring suit against Mari
copa to force the latter to pay hall

STATISTICS ON
COTTON CROP
ESTIMATED VALUE OF FIBRE
AND SEED IN PALO VERDE
VALLEY THIS YEAR is 5000 900
1000 ACRES PLANTED.

BLYEE, June IS. - The pres
ent years cotton crop in the
Palo Verde valley has so far
advanced as to warrant something
like a conservative estimate Of what
the yield will be the present favor
able conditions continuing.
The total estimated number OF
acres OF cotton planted in the valley
this year is 1000, as against less
than 600 acres last year
The estimated yield for cotton this
year is Il bales per acre; the
average yield last year was IA bales
per acre
present year is 5000 bales. In 1912
it was less than 700 bales.
The average weight of a bale Of
cotton is 500 pounds This would
make total yield of 100000
pounds, or $50 tons, for this year OF
1913, against a total yield of 100000
pounds, or 175 tons last year--19l2
The average price paid for cotton
direct TO the growers here at Blythe
last year was $6O.50 a bale or $12.10
per 100 pounds of fibre. The aver
age price paid the grower for the
cotton seed averaged $500 per ton
or about $500 per acre, for the land
as cotton produces about one pound
of cotton fiber to 1 Y pound of cot
ton seed
The total receipts for the cotton
crop of the valley in 1912 was. APPROX
imately $4,000; the estimated cost Of
production for that year was $2l 900,
leaving net profit to the grower Of
$19 900 or over $50 90 per acre
This year the conditions being
much more favorable than last, and
taking last years prices as a basis.
the present crop should bring in to
the growers at least $1S6,0O for the
cotton fibre and $4,000 for the cotton
seed, making a total Of $4,000, to
be paid for the crop Figuring the
cost Of production at $500 per bale
This would leave net profit Of
about $S7, 900 to the cotton growers
Of the valley, or a net income OF
more than $4,000 per acre for each
and every acre planted to cotton this
year.
Where land in a first-class state
CT cultivation. and plenty OF water.
can be bought for from $125.OO to
$4,000 per acre Can you beat it?
Where else could you go and secure
such results out of the investment.
Land paying a net profit of ten per
cent on $4,000 an acre. producing
and paying a net profit of over
thirty per cent on it's actual selling
price.

RIVER THREATENING RAILROAD

Reports have reached town that
the Colorado River is threatening the
levee in Lower California couple
of miles below the boundary. The
current, it is said, is cutting away
the banks at a rate that will soon
bring it in the levee unless it is stops
of itself or is stopped by artificial
means. There is however no danger
that the river will make break in
to the Salton Basin as the water
is falling and is now only at the
mark of 81 feet three inches. Besides
this the track of the InterCalifornia
branch of the Southern Pacific run
on top of the levee, and the company
is watching the movement of the
river and is preparing to check the
cutting away of the bank. Epes
Randolph and Division Superintend-
ent Whale went to the place yester
day to look the situation oven and
General Superintendent Platt who Al
rived in Yuma last night will &C

carloads of rock have been ordered
sent to the place and some of them
were expected to arrive there las
night. The company has arranged
to have all of the rock sent down
that can possibly be needed. Yuma

THINKS 3-cENr FARE PROBABLE.

~ FFst @HafE icC
That the federal court at tiSan Fran,
cisco will now probably hand down
decision in favor of the state. of
Arizona against the railroads who
have been fighting the three-cent fare
bill is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Bullard
Bullard gave the following state
ment:
'EThe decision in the Minnesota rate
cases ought to result in the judges
at San Francisco handing down a de-
cision in favor of the state of Arizona
in the three-cent rate cases. 1t has
been the carriers contention that the
state had no right to make intrastate
rates, and that it costs two and one
half times as much for intrastate as
for interstate travel On both these
points the United States supreme
court has decided against the rail
roads. and | know that the judges in
San Francisco have been awaiting
this decision before handing down
their decision in the Arizona case.--

The agitation for a bond issue aof. :,
$500, 100000 for the purpose OF, build
ing a system of good roads in Yuma
county is bearing fruit. Petitions
are being circulated asking the board,
OF supervisors to employ competent,
! engineer to make surveys and an es-
innate of the cost of the proposed
roads.
! w. c. Despair of Bouse circulated
one OF the petitions in Parker and
northern Yuma county during the
past week and got the signature of
practically every tax payer
The roads which the petition
sets out and which it is proposed
to build are as follows: -
Road from Yuma to the Internal
ional line through the heart of the
ulna valley. ,--
Road from Yuma to the Maricopa
line by Dome, said road to be To-
Gated and laid out by an engineer
to be employed
Road from Yuma to Laguna. Dam
With a bridge across the Gila river
near the mouth.
Read from Yuma by Castle Dome
and the Quartzsite Valley to Bouse
CT some ether point on the Arizona
and California railroad in the Nor
the1p part of the county.
Road from the Maricopa line in
the northern part of the county to
Parker, on the Colorado river con
Meeting all of the towns and villages
and mining camps in that section
with the North and South Yuma road.
This is a very ambitious program
and if it is carried out as planned
will give Yuma county the finest
system of highways in the entire
state
Eight petitions are in circulation
and while they have been in circula-
toll ouiy one day, two of them have
been filled and filed with the board
of supervisors. Each petition carries
about fifty names Already two hun
dred signatures have been affixed to
these petitions and within a week
five or six hundred will have been
secured.
The proposition meets with enthu-
siastic endorsement on every side
Practically every person who has
been asked to do so has signed
There is no opposition in sight. AS
soon as sufficient number of
petitions have been filed with the
board Of supervisors it will be their
duty to employ a competent engineer
to locate the roads and estimate the
cost thereof. 1t is believed that a
man can be had from the good roads
bureau at Washington without cost
and that matter is now being looked
into "" :
1t is believed that the location of
the roads and the estimate of cost
can be made at sufficiently early
date so that the election can be call
ed early in the fall. If this can be
done the bonds can be sold within
thirty days after the election the
contracts let and the roads built
next winter and spring
With the present enthusiasm and
good feeling back of the movement
it looks like a sure winner
The building of this SYSTEM of
good roads will mean more to Yuma
county than any other thing that
could be done at this time 1t will
put lis in the forefront of all coun-
ties in the state. 1t will attract
capital and new people and it will
give us all of the cross road coun-
try travel by automobile

PAYMENT MAY
STILL BE MADE
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT HAS
TAKEN NO ACTION IN REGARD
TO PARKER LOTS WHICH ARE
IN DEFAULT.

No action has been taken against
Parker tOwnsite property which is in
default OF payments for the present
year and money received before the
department passes on the local sit
uation will remove such default ac-
cording to a letter just received by
John Roberts from Reese M. Ling,
PhoeniN attorney.
MI. Ling, who has always been a
booster for the Parker project, took
the matter up direct with the depart
ment officials at the request OF Mr.
Roberts. Following is his letter in
full
Department OF the Interior,
Washington, D. G.
Reese M. Ling, Attorney,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Sir:
In response TO your letter Of May
s. 1913, you are advised that on
September 20, 1911, the Department
extended the time in which to make.
the final payments for lots in the
Townsite Of Parker, Arizona, from
November /, 1911, to November
1912, and again on October /, 1912,
the Department further extended the
time Oh all payments due November
l, 1912, exceeding $25 90, to Novem
ber l, 1913, Oh condition that a Ger
tain portion, graded in accordance
with the amount due, should be- paid
not later than November /, 1912, ana
thereupon the remainder due should
be extended to November l. 1913.
1t appears from reports received BY
this office that quite a large number
have failed to make the partial pay
ments required on November l, 1912.
in order to obtain the extension ol
time on the remainder due.
No action has been taken on said
reports OF defaults in such payments
and it is probable that it will be
sometime before action can be taken
thereon in the ordinary course G..
business by this office, and if. dur
ing that time, parties in default
should make the required payments
and the same be reported to this
Office prior to any action thereon,
the default in such case will be con.
sidered as removed and the exten-
sion be allowed. as provided in said
order
Very respectfully,
S. " PROUDFIT.
