According to Mr.. Bradley, the park
will be one of the best In the Inter-

ter than the present one. 1t having
been decided to erect a larger grand
stand and to make 1t a f1rst-class park

different from the old park. and Will
resemble some of the big league
grounds. 1t Is said. The diamond will

be made to see that the out4leld viii

present one.
Mr.. Bradley stated last night that
it's his idea to give the people OF
Richmond q park of which they will
feel proud. Before work - started
he will look over some Of the best
parks in the country, with an idea
Of erecting the new one along the
same lines.
Work will begin on the new grounds
at once. There are only about ten or
eleven weeks left before the spring
training season opens here. which will
necessitate beginning work on the
grounds right away In order that they
will be IN some kind OF shape when

Influential MeXicans, including the

grounds before the board of pardons

Rodriguez, recently executed at Flor

the fact that the long delay between
the dates of the original crimes and
the final payment of the penalty
the numerous occasions on which the
Mexicans were rescued at the eleventh

.F|NANC|ER PUTS
0. K. On ARIZONA

After visiting the several copper
camps in Arizona, recently, Ben R.
Sryan, head of the national stock
and bond house of Logan and Bryan
of New York, with branch houses in
all of the principal cities of the world,
gave his view of conditions in this
state to the Los Angeles Times, in
which he said
Il have seldom seen a more pros
uerous state than Arizona is at pres
emit AS the result of the world
war and the consequent rapid ad-
vance in the price of copper, the
mining districts of the state present
a scene of tremendous activity.
Wages for ordinary miners have
jumped to $3.50 a day, and a new
crop of wealthy men has sprung up
in the last six months. The smeft-
ers are working overtime and have
more of the crude ore on hand than
they can handle At Bisbee, Clifton,
Jerome, Globe and every mining dis
trict of Arizona, it is the same
thing, everyone working to the limit
and everyone making money.
The cattle business is also BOOM
ing. The large ranchers are coming
money, and the smaller ones also are
prosperous, anu oil T0C0lNO ldHCy pr
ceS for their stock. The improve
ment in this industry can also be at
tributed to the European war, with
its consequent demand for our meat
and meat products. One big cattle
man told me he had recently sold 1900
yearlings for $32 head, whereas two
years ago he would have been content
ed to receive So. Many of the more
active cattlemen of the state are stock
ing up their ranches so heavily that
their output will be two or three times
what it has been in the past. l eX-
Dect to see Arizona cattle industry
double in size before the current year
has drawn to a close.
Arizona is not the only western
state that is prosperous. From
Washington to Southern California
the entire Pacific coast is beginning
to feel a wave of real good times.
Notwithstanding this is a presidential
year, merchants, manufacturers and
business men of all classes say the
same thing, that conditions are i'm
measurably better than they were IL
months ago."
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-06-09

duce during the year 1916.
Translated into dollars, in which
the stupendous total may be more
readily understood, this represents a
gross income for the IL months Of
s200.000,00O.
71O,995,S53 represents in pounds
the production of the leading mines
all of them. 1t is a conservative
estimate, compiled by the big boss Of
one of the three biggest mines in the
state. The only thing it doesn't take
into account is the possible produc-
ton of comparatively small quanti-
ties of ore from new or recently open
ed workings.
Justifying Arizona's claim to
the leading position among the copper
mining states, the estimate will echo
through financial circles, where the
information it contains will be re-
ceived with deep interest.
And the figure is for copper only.
In addition, Arizona produces mil
lions of dollars worth of gold, silver,
lead. zinc, tungsten and many other
metals.
