1t now looks as if Arizona,

1t now looks as if Arizona,
reafflrming by a majority vote
it's approval of the Prohibi-
ton law, has adopted the
most sweeping dry law of
this or any other country. 1t
is the most iron-bound pro-
hibitiOn measure ever made
into law, and as such will be
watched with much interest
by other states of the Union
and perhaps some of the
European countries.
The amendment reads;
''lt shall be unlawful for any person in
the State of Arizona to receive or cause to
be received. from without the State of
Arizona, for any purpose. any ardent
spirits. ale. beer. wine, or Intoxicating
liquors of any kind, and it shall be unIaw-
full for any person in the State of Arizona
to have in his possession. for any purpose.
any ardent spirits. ale, beer, wine or in
toxicating liquors of any kind. which he
has introduced or caused to be introduced
into the State of Arizona. and it shall be
unlawful for any person to transport or
cause to be transported, within the State
of Arizona, any ardent spirits. ale, beer,
wine or Intoxicating liquors of any kind.
provided. that it shall be lawful for any
regularly ordained priest or clergyman of
an established church to receive. trans
port, and possess wine to be used only for
sacramental purposes, and provided fur
ther, that the University of Arizona
through its Board of Regents; may intro
duce. receive. transport and possess grain
alcohol for scientific purposes. and may
use and distribute such alcohol under such
restrictions and regulations as said Board
of Regents may from time to time adopt.
to other institutions of research and learn
ing, for scientific uses. And provided
further. that nothing herein shall prevent
the introduction, transportation and pos
session of denatured alcohol"

May Settle Mexican Problem

The Austio, Texas, Statesman
notes the fact that thousands of
Mexican laborers, both residents
of the American side and new ar
rivals from the interior, have been
taken to the north and east to fill
the places in railroad section work,
made vacant by Italians and other
foreigners who have returned to
Europe to join their colors.
The influx Of Mexicans to the
American side is also increasing,
as hundreds of laborers are cross
ing the border daily and are quick
ly engaged by labor agents for
railroad work. Free medical at
tention in the event of sickness
and free transportation to their
destination are offered as an in
ducement to go east. The wages
paid, 1t is said, range from 81 SO to
$2.25 per day.
This, it would seem, affords a
practical suggestion as to the solu
tion of the Mexican problem. En-
courage the Mexicans to come
across the border and place them
selves under the protection of the
American flag, give them work and
feed them we'll and send their
children to school, and win them
away from banditry and the revo-
luton habit.

The Pershing expedition
will withdraw soon if the
plans of the mediation COM
mission materialiZe. The
commission proposes to reach
an agreement before Sunday
and as tentatively framed the
agreement calls for either the
immediate withdrawal or
gradual retirement Of the ex-
pedition. In the meantime,
however, the Carrancistas
must vigorously hunt down
the Villista bandits. The
agreement will provide for
adequate security for the bor-
der with the Mexicans as
suming the larger share of its
protection. The Mexican
members of the joint COM
mission are overjoyed at the
outlook.

The Mining Boom at Jerome

The growing intensity OF the
present mining boom in the state
is accentuated in the bustling
mining town of Jerome, and the
districts surrounding. In that
town, according to correspon-
, dent, the following conditions pre-
vail:
"Both Jerome and Clarksdale are
jammed, crammed, congested,
overhowing with people brought
here by a mining boom at least
equal to any ever enjoyed by any
other copper camp
Every train that comes in has
several extra coaches attached,
and the passengers even stand up
in box cars. The buses that meet
the trains are wholly inadequate.
In Clarksdale this does not mean
so much but the Jerome statiOnis
half a mile fIom town over steep,
serpentine mountain trails that
often astound and alarm the new
conner. Many a future Verde die
trict millionaire will be able to say
in truth that he walked into Je-
rome. If he tells the whole truth
he will add that it was because he
was unable to get seat in a bus
." Arrived in the town, the new
arrivals make for the hotels first of
all Every hotel has It's halls and
corridors filled with cots the reg
ulation price Of cot is 81 a night,
but every hotel clerk turns away
scores every evening.
"Then they scatter over town,
begging piteously at every door to
be taken IN. Many of the fortu.
nate and superior beings who own
or rent houses have put up signs
announcing that they have no
rooms for rent, but often these are
ineffective in keeping away the
supplicants.
There is one woman with q
house away at the south end o1
town who rents room at 81 SO q
night, exclusively to transients
She never advertises, never hangs
out room for rent sign, bu,
every night her room is taken
She knows that some searcher foI
accom- modations will find her
place and ask for room. even il
it i practically out of town and
not on public road"

THE COPPER MARKET

There is an unprecedented
boom in copper now on, and
the movement still seems to
be upward. AS the mining
world says: "The upward
movement in prices has been
sharp. The end is not yet in
sight. The interruption to
trade caused by election day
did not stop the reaching to-
wards higher grounds. Cop
per is gradually shaping into
a runaway market. Business
has been tremendous. The
insistent and large demand
for nearby copper is proof OF
the statement made in our
market reports that numerous
domestic consumers failed to
protect requirements. Since
our last report dealers and
producers have sold fully
$50, 900, 900 pounds of cop
per. Nearby metal prices
give promise OF attaining
levels predicted by leading
authorities. 1t is stated that
spot copper will sell above
IS cents by the end of the
first quarter. Dealers who
held large lines OF spot metal
metal at 80 cents found
buyers extremely desirous OF
taking over this metal and
while a considerable amount
of this speculative copper has
been sold it is ascertained
that dealers still retain con-
troll of SiZable blocks of the
red metal. A million pound
lot of February copper sold
at 29A. cents. Several half
million pound orders for
March were closed at 20
cents. With producers al
most entirely cleaned out of
first quarter metal the dealers
are beginning to reap the har-
vest.

A mining engineer came
into Patagonia one day this
week to examine and report
upon a property a few miles
from town. Being unable to
secure a conveyance as
promptly as he desired the
next morning, he decided to
walk out. When he finally
arrived on the ground he was
so tired and disgusted, hav-
ing lost his way several
times, that he had his mind
already made up that the
mine was no good, and after
talking a few minutes with
the Workmen, and without
making any scientific exami-
nation at all, he was ready to
return to, toWn-and also
probably to turn the property
down in his report. But at
that, some engineers can turn
a property down without even
going on it.-Patagonian.

suit the United Mine Workers took a
determined stand and unfolding posi-

the mine-run system universally, and
the operators OF western Pennsylvania

Figures for coal mining under the
