MORE PUBLIC WORK
THAN EVER BEFORE

When any American city can sell
$4,000, 900 of per cent bonds at par
cover the counter" in six hours, there
is slight excuse for postponing public
work. Not many cities have the
wealth of Philadelphia, whose bonds
were thus, easily disposed of, and
greatly oversubscribed besides, but
money seeking safe investment is
now so abundant that every munich
pality of sound credit can raise all.
funds needed for public improvements,
Nor has there been time in many
years when a dollar thus invested
would secure so much effective labor
and material says Engineering and
Contracting.
The manufacturer and the mer-
chant may still hesitate about resum-
ing "full blast" but solely because
of uncertainty as to a ready mar
ket for the output. But city hav-
ing need of improvenents-be
pavements, better water supply, bet
ter sewerage-f1as not 70 wait for a
market" for the better health and
the cheaper haulage. Business men
in charge of city affairs are not al
ways quick to appreciate the differ
enee between investing in goods that
must be sold quickly and investing in
public plant that yields its services
over long period of years. In the
latter case low interest rates and low
prices for materials will give the max
imum of benefit at the minimum of
cost to the public.
Is this not an opportune time for
local engineering societies to give
added publicity to the great oppor-
tunity that cities now should seize.
The money scarcity that the war
caused six months ago has entirely
disappeared. The labor scarcity prior
to the war has-unfortunately for
laborers- disappeared. Not in
20 years have there been conditions
more favorable for the construction
of public works and plants of all
kinds. Engineers know this, and
realize the great economic opportuni-
ty. 1t is part of every engineers
duty to bring to public attention, as
forcefully as practicable, the desir-
ability of building now for the future.
Fortunately most cities are showing
no indication Of curtailing their nor
NAL expenditures for public works.
But this, good as it Is. is not good
enough. There should be an abnor-
mally great amount Of public work
done this year. Entirely aside from
the desire to reduce the number of
idle men,. we advocate large appro-
priations for municipal, county, state
and federal government improvement.
Our advocacy Of this rests upon pure
ly economic grounds.
In recent lettings of public con-
tracts, as repeatedly recorded in cur
rent news columns, the number OF
bids has been very large and the unit
prices have been low. Prices OF
structural materials viii probably moi
be as low again in ten years as they
now are. Laborers are willing to work
with vim, and delays from strikes
will not occur. For the individual OF

Douglas. Ariz., Jan. 2O.-Producers

troublesome situation, owing to the
fact that both Villa and Carranza Off
Gals are collecting export duties on
ores shipped from Sonora to the United
States through the port Of Aqua

Gov. Maytorena collects at Fronteras

rena has fixed the duty on silver bars
at s1.S0 per kilo (abOut 2.20 pounds
avordupois) and 1920 on silver in any
other forIN. On gold in bars the tax is
S64 per kilo and $50 on gold in any
other form except alloy, which takes
the s64 rate. The rate assessed by the
Gales officials at Aqua Prieta is
slightly higher
Many Mines Affected.
All mines south of Douglas in the
Nacozari district and all companies re-
lying on the Nacozari-Agua Prieta
railroad line for transportation of their
ores will be affected.
However, the apparent settlement Of
difficulties at Naco is expected to re-
suit in the reopening of a number Of
Sonora mines which now are lying idle.

COMES TOBU
MINE MACHINERY
Rich Mine in Zacatecas Is
Being Operated Despite
Revolutions.

Capt Dick Williams is in FL PasO for
the purpose Of purchasing additional
machinery for the Cha Minera La
Amfstad S. A properties, located in
the district of Samprereto. state of
zacatecas, Mexico, near the town of
San Martin at the foot of La Gloria
mountains.
The fame of this district does not
date few years back, but from CEN
turtles. The naturalization Of the dis
trict is wonderful. In these mountains
is the "TajO de YbOrro," an open cut
1t was the second or third place worked
by the Spaniards in the 18th century.
Even before their arrival the district
was well known by the Aztecs and an
cient tribes Of GuatemOc and Anau-
hauc whose crude methods of extract
ing gold and silver are well known
throughout Mexico.
Visited by Won Humboldt.
This famous mountain was visited
by the famous baron Won Humboldt
who saws of it in the third volume of
Kingdom of New SPAIN page III, that
the Sambrereto was the greatest sill
yer mine of the American continent.
Famous Black Vein.
The mines Of Sambrereto have been
made celebrated by the immense rich
ness of the black vein. which, in the
space of q few months left the Morduez
de Aportado a net profit of over
5000 600 Spanish dollars. An enormous
amount of extremely rich ruby silver
has been extracted to the water level
and since passing that level has been
encountered ore of this character in
places running more than 100 kilos
The average veins run two kilos on a
vein Of Y meters in width, the pay
streak Of u to 20 inches run eight
kilos.
The shaft is now 81 meters in depth
and the company is sinking on a vein
IL meters wide averaging more than
TWO kilos.
Conditions are quiet around this dis
trict and the company anticipates open
ing up on a large scale in the near
future. 1t has already installed one
40 and one IS horsepower boilers and
two No. 9 Cameron pumps, but only
needed one as the water only amounts
to about 100 to 125 gallons per minute.
Capt. Williams says he expects to
secure an air compressor, air drills,
an electric plant of a small size for
lighting and machine shop purposes.

equipped assay office.

feet below the apex of the vein, a drift
has already been run into the ore body
for a distance of 40 feet The ore
shows a width of 10 to Is feet where
crosscut and the values are above
the camps average. A drift has also
been started on the seventh level, 200
feet deeper and it will soon reach the
trend of this great ore chute which
has been one of the most regular and
heaviest contributors to the states

sistence of the good values in a large

tention of many prominent engineers.

CATTLEMEN To
PAY MORE TAX
Arizona Assessors and Tax
Commission Reach an
Agreement.

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 20.-Cattlemen
are going to pay heavier taxes in Ari-
iona next year. This was decided upon
at the conference between the county
assessors and state tax commission,
held in Phoenix.
Last year range cattle were assessed
at S24 a head. They will be assessed
at SOS this year, with the exception Of
steers two years old and over, and bulls.
steers will be valued at $50 a head and
bulls at S25- Sheep remain at $3.50.
Until last year ostrichesl were as
sessed at $40 a head. The European
war brought about a drop i'm the de-
nand for feathers and the birds took
a slump in value, so the tax commission
ordered the valuation reduced to $40.
1t was agreed at the conference that
ostriches were worth no more than $40
a head and that will be this years valu-
alton.
1t was decided to make no material
changes in the old system Of assessing
merchandise.
Thomas z. Campbell, for several
years president Of the Arizona Asses
sors' association, has resigned because
of his election to the TAX commission.
The association will hold a special ses-
sion and elect either George e. Tru-
man, of Pinal county, or Ed Hughes, of
COchise, in his place, Truman has been
vice president and Hughes treasurer.
