That Pima deserves to rank as a
banner county in mining and farm
ing opportunities is shown by data
recently compiled by Secretary J. H.
Robinson of the Arizona Chapter of
the American Mining congress. who
has been devoting much of his time
to obtaining statistics of those coun-
ties in which mining is the leading
industry, and in classifying the ma
terials thus obtained.
In Pinal county is seen remark
able illustration of the wonderful
progress which the mining industry
has made in Arizona in recent years
With total assessed value of all
property in the year 1910 amounting
to $2,720 1886, this year it amounts
to s25,249, 1929, the increase being
due largely to the development of
the mines in that county, and espe-
cially to the Ray Consolidated Cop
per company's activity.
The tax rate in the former year
for territorial and county purposes
was $500 on each 500 valuation and

the rate for the year 1915 is $1.2S722
on each 500 valuation.
What is now known as the Ray
Consolidated Copper company's prop
erty was in that year owned by the
Ray Copper company assessed for
$104,79S.7s, and the Ray Central Cop
per company, assessed for $31, $50 OO
or total of $136,448.73
With the development of the big
mining company and the resultant
construction of railroads, the mining
industry today is assessed for 5468
per cent of the total assessment of
the entire county and the railroads
1888 per cent, making the total for
these two industries 1857 per cent
of the entire tax roll of the county.
The combined assessment of the
two industries amounts to an aggre-
gate of 21,13O, ,114.29, besides the
values which have been created
along other lines through this min
ing activity, this shows the remark
able increase in five years of nearly
500 per cent of the entire taxable

THE SAXON SIX MAKES
 GREAT ECONOMY RECORD

After considering 105 reports sent in by dealers from many parts of the country who participated in the Saxon Six economy drive. judges of the contest have awarded first prize to c. F. Seaward. Jr, of KolIomo. Ind. Mir. Seaward covered the distance from Del trcit to Kokomo. 327 miles. at an aver age of 26.2 miles per gallon of gasoline. Only one quart Of oil was used on the entire trip. over half the way the roads were in bad condition. At places washouts made the path almost i'm passable. Mir. Steward reported that he encountered ten heavy rains during the trip home.
 Final figures show that the total dis tance covered 5y the 1O5 dealers who participated in the driving day event was 26377 miles, each dealer averaging 252 miles. The average mileage on gasoline was 21 miles to the gallon, and on oil 152 miles to the quart.
 The results made by the dealers are considered remarkable. viewed as an economy record for siX-cylinder cars. Almost without exception each dealer was forced to contend against bad road conditions. The drive started from De troit during a several day period of al most continuous rain, which put the country roads within a radius of 150 miles in poor shape.
 Judges of the contest, consisting of Detroit newspaper and automobile trade men, found the task of picking the winner extremely difficult in view of the closeness of the records. Al though the item of economy was con shiGered uppermost. other factors were taken into account, such as distance travelled time on the road, weather conditions and road conditions. MT. Stewards record in gasoline consump- tion was bettered by q fraction of mile b. one other contestant J. s. Hoffman of Sharon, Pa, securing an average of 26 2-3 miles per gallon. However, MT. Hoffman was favored by slightly better road conditions and did not make as long a run as Mir. Seaward. The judges accordingly voted the tro- phy to MT. Seaward. Other contest ants got better than 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline. F.. H. June of Bing hamton, N. Y. covered run of 234 miles at an average of 25 1-3 miles to the gallon all the way.

WAR PUTS NATIVITY OF
 H. FREEDMAN IN DOUBT
Doesn't Know Whether He Is a
 Russian or German

Harry Friedman is not sure of his nativity; he does not know whether he is Russian or a German. He was born in the province of KovnO Russian Poland, which is now being overrun by Germans who have prob ably by this tune taken Kovno, the capital. They have a pretty good state, Mir Friedman says. It is about the size of Arizona, very fer tile, abounding in great forests and rich in cattle and other live stock. The chief products are wheat rye and barley.
 The city of KovnO is a beautiful place of about 100, 900, situated on the Nieman river It is the end of the Wilma Petrograd railroad. The pro- vince of KOvno adioins East Prussia near which MT Friedman lived. The language of the country or that part of the country, is German or mixed German. Since there were so few railroads in the province most of the commerce of the people of eastern KOVno was with the Germans.
 Kovno was enc of five states con stituting the Lithuanian kingdom which later became a part of Po- land and then, of Russian Poland. Previous to the ukase of Alexander freeing the serfs. many of the in habitants were slaves to the Rus sian or old Polish nobles.
 Mr. Friedman, however, is not much worried as to his status in Kovno since he has become an American citizen.
