RACEs-HoRSE AND FOOT

The horse racing which was an
nounced for. last Sunday afternoon,
was later postponed to Monday after
afternoon when it took place agree
able to program, in $50 yard dash,
for purse of 5000, resulting in a
victory for ''Bluedog,' the Parker
horse, by many odds The other
animal was bay mare, a racer to
all appearances from foretop to fet-
lock-except in speed She was
brought here by two unknown mea
and short, fat boy-the jocky-who
were travelling over the country evil
IDENTIFY looking for easy money.
RThe event excited quite a bit of
Interest while it lasted and the In
dians especially turned out en- masse
in their fast" colors to witness it,
as they always do, Wesley Martin
rode ''Bluedog" and the fat short boy
straddled the stranger The latter
horse wasn't in it from start to
finnish and could hardly keep up to
the others dust, 1t is possible, how
ever, that this animal might have
made { better record in a longer run,
but for $50 yards she was surely nc
match for Bluedog
Tuesday afternoon purse was got
ten up for foot race between ''Red"
Sanborn, a local sprinter, and one of
the trio of strange sports-not the fat
boy. The race. took place on Califor-
MIA street, and was an easy winning
for the local sport.
Thus was it demonstrated inside
OF two days that Parker is not so
blamed slow as some strangers may
imagine, but capable of producing
not only fast horses and fast colors
but also fast men and-it's needless
to go further-those are quite suf-
ficient to demonstrate the town 8
capabilities

Lauten's Refrigerator,

e. F. Lauteen has about completed
his refrigerator plant and this week
the whole thing was housed under
corrugated iron and surmounted by a
cleated ventilation tower. He has
yet to install one more Improvement
which he claims will add fifty per
cent to the efficiency of the cooling
apparatus, and that will be a huge
fan after the fashion of a Dutch wind
mill, propelled by the same power
that runs the compressor, which will
throw steady blast of air against
the cooling pipes. 1t will be so ar
ranged that this same blast of air,
after having done its duty by the
pipes, will pass into the shop, low
ering the temperature Of the apart
ment and keeping its patrons in a
nice, cool sweat while they wait.

PASSING OF REESE LING.

The death of Reese M Ling at
Phoenix last Wednesday, following a
short and severe illness, was a dis
tinct shock to his host of friends in
Parker and throughout the state. The
immediate cause of death was odoe-
ma of the lunges following an attack
Of acute indigestion.
Ling stood without a peer in the
profession of the law in this state, al
ways steadfast for his clients, true
and trusted, ethical and OF the high
est ideals. His voice was ever rails
ed in behalf OF the oppressed, and he
was man of exceptional oratorical
ability. clear Judgment and remark
ably strong reasoning power.
He was active in democratic pol
itics and was candidate at the pri-
maries for the office of United States
senator. He was the first national
committeeman from the state of Ari-
zona and held that position until sue
ceeded by Senator Fred Golfer a few
weeks ago.
Reese Ling's hearty, jovial dispo-
sition and warm hand-clasp will be
missed by his friends who are left
behind. But those of them who have
gone before are now welcoming him
in that land across the silent strand,
where peace and happiness awaits
the soul Of men like Reese Ling,
Au revoir, old scout; We know that
all's well with you, but we'll miss
you in Arizona for many years to
come

HARD BLOW
AT MINING.
ARBITRARY SHELTER RATES
CAUSE OF MUCH DISSATIsFAc
TON AMONG MINE OPERATORS
-LoW-GRADE ORES CUT OUT.

Much dissatisfaction is evidenced
among local mining men over the re-
Gently announced ore purchase shed,
ule Of the customs smelters, the effect
Of which will be to eliminate low
grade copper ores as profitable
shipping proposition.
| Owners and leasers of small copper
properties and prospects throughout
this section have heretofore profited
by the high price of the metal and a
very optimistic tone has pervaded the
local mining field News of the al
! tered condition effected by the new
smelter ruling has had a very detri-
mental influence upon present and
prospective activities of shippers of
low grade ores.
Under the new schedule the smelt-
ers pay the market quotation for
copper less 211a and a cent for every
one cent over IA cents Upon 26-
cent quotation this would make the
rate paid the shipper 2O1a cents per
pound Formerly there was only the
21s-cent deduction.
In addition there is now minimum
deduction OF 20 pounds of copper per
ton for all ores of 10 per cent or
under. Formerly this deduction was
10 per cent of the copper contents
with 12-pound minimum A base
rate for treatment of S. per ton is
now charged as against a previously
! existing base rate of $3.50.
These increases in smelling cost
are further aggravated by a higher
deduction for moisture in addition,
OF course, to the customary schedule
| Figured out in dollars and cents,
| per cent ore returns, exclusive of any
penalties, about SIS per ton with cop
per at &c cents Out of this must
come freight, hauling and mining
costs. On the average ores from this
section there is no margin of profit
{ no IN iT,c &
very little in anything under 10 per
cent ore. The main shipments from
here have been Of low grade ores av-
eraging per cent or under.
An additional impediment exists in
the fact that, where smelter payments
We're formerly received in ten days or
two weeks from shipping date they
are now delayed for a much longer
period
The reason assigned by the smelt-
ers for the recently imposed bur-
dens is the risk involved in paying
he present high market quotations
and the fact of their capital being
LIEU up So SAISuSIN6iy. IulI-.
ing men offered to controvert these
claims, the statement that the smelt-
ers are contracted to sell every pound
Of copper they can produce at rates
which amply protect them in giving
the shipper the benefit of the present
quotations and point out that the fact
OF no return being promised of any
deductions made, contingent upon
holding up of the market, robs these
contentious Of any merit 1t is cur
Ient presumption that the smelters
prefer to limit the production by shut
ting out the marketing of low grade
ores from new shippers and to profit
to the fullest extent possible from the
handling of such of the higher grade
ores as are offered.-Prescott Courier.

A FINANCIAL REVOLUTION.

It appears from the stock books OF the United States Steel cor
poration that before the We broke out, no less than Is per cent of
these holdings, o $4,000 shares, have been sold back. AT the present
market price more than S54OO0OOO would be required to take "
these shares alone.
European holdings of American stocks and bonds at the outset
of the raj we're commonly placed at not hess than S5NOOWUU. The
owners have possibly 10 since sold back OF the whole o thigh a pro-
portion a. OF the Steel common stock, but it is a reasonable supposl-
ton that in this short time of twenty months the American has taken
yer S2OOOOOOOO invested in its industries which had been contrib
utd by Europe. Payment has been made IN the enormou cess
of merchandise exports wei imports which have prevailed. and what
would have ordinarily wrecked our securities market. and was expected
to wreck it when the war broke ut haas actually been achieved under
buoyant market conditions.
This process of foreign liquidation here is still going on We are
in addition making large loans to Europe in the same way. But if
tho process should end now the country would the less have
passed within twenty months from a chronic condition of financial
servitude to Europe into Ia state of virtually complete financial snde-
pendence.
