COAL FAMINE
IS SERIOUS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 29.-Acting
on the urgent request of the Bisbee
council and commercial organizations
of the Warren district the Arizona
Corporation commission has taken up
the matter of the coal shortage in Ari-
iona with officials of the Santa Fe
and Ell Paso Southwestern railroads.
kilograms received from Bisbee by the
commission stated that all the dealers
there had been out of coal for days
and that coal ordered by them and
other large consumers including the
mining companies and the E. p. e S.
W. railroad had been confiscated be-
fore it reached destination. Reports Of
coal shortage in other parts of Ari-
IONA including Kingman, Winslow,
Holbrok and other points on the main
line of the Santa Fe have been re-
ceived here.
The coal situation in Phoenix is said
to be serious as dealers are unable
to secure shipments to replenish their
stocks.

OUR FEEBLE-MINDED

A problem of large and increasing
Importance in this state is the proper
care and handling of the feeble minded,
Or mentally subnormal. By the feeble
minded we do not mean the insane, al
though there may be some inmates Of
the state insane asylum who would
come under this head; we refer, rather,
to the mentally subnormal, who are not
SO defective as to be committed to the
institution for the insane, and of whose
existence the state takes no cognizance
until they commit some crime and are
sent to the state prison.
Feeble mindedness is responsible for
most of our insanity, pauperism, prosti-
tuition and crime. It is the mother of
degeneracy and imbecility, which lead
to crime and hereditary pauperism.
Students of sociology are just begin
ming to realize that if we would strike
at crime, insanity and immortality, we
must begin with the Predetermined.
It is estimated that there are between
500 and 1000 Predetermined persons in
Arizona, who are receiving practically
no care whatever, and who sooner or
later become public charges The
problem becomes immensely more i'm
portant when we learn that feeble
mindedness is highly hereditary, and
that each feeble-minded person is
potential source of an endless progeny
of defect. The most eminent specialists
in the country are agreed that from IS
to 80 per cent of feeble-mindednes is
due to hereditary causes, and that no
predetermined person should be allowed
to marry or to become a parent. Com
plete segregation of these unfortunate
persons during the productive period is
essential if the problem is to be solved.
We do not know what the coming
legislature is planning in the way Of
new measures, but it would seem a good
idea to follow the example of other
states and make some provision for
thorough investigation Of the problem.
A commission should be appointed to
study the situation in Arizona and to
report to the governor at the end of
year. Meanwhile steps should be taken
through the schools Of the state for the
registration of the mentally subnormal,
SO that further supervision by the
state in the future may be facilitated.

ARIZONA SHARES
IN FUNDS SET
ASIDE FOR INDIANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 25-The
Indian bill, the first appropriation
measure reported to the house, has
passed that body in record time. The
bill carries appropriations amounting
to $10,670.0OO of which over a million
dollars is to be expended in Arizona.
In addition to the usual sums appro-'
priated for the support and civilization
of the Indians in, Arizona, which
amount to over 100000, their educa-
ton is provided for by special appro-
priations aggregating over 100000. OF
this amount $146,900 is to be expended
at the Phoenix Indian school,
Congressman Hayden was successful
in his efforts to secure an appropria-
ton of 100000 to complete the diver
sion dam above Florence and also OBJ
tain $4,000 to commence the construc-
ton of the main canal which will carry
the water from this dam to the lands
belonging to Indians and white men in
Pinal county. His request for $125,0OO
to complete another diversion dam near
Sacaton was likewise granted. This
dam will be constructed with bridge
superstructure thus providing a much
needed means of crossing the ella river.
Ninety eight thousand dollars was also
appropriated for other Indian irrigation
enterprises in Arizona.

HERE'S CHANCE TO
BE A WATCHMAN


PHOENIX, Ariz, Dec. 29.-Examin-
alton of applicants for the position of
mounted watchmen along the Mex
lean border in Arizona will be held in
Phoenlx, Tucson, Douglas, Clifton,
flagstaff, Globe, Prescott and Yuma
on January II, according to an am
nouncement made by the u. S. Immf-
grafton service. The mounted watch
men, who must be able to speak
Spanish, and must be familiar with
the border country, will receive a sal
airy of 500 month. Closer supervi-
sion OF the boundary and exclusion of
undesirable aliens are given as rea-
sons for the addition of mounted guards
along the border.

EDITORIAL

ing someone introduce in the legisla-
ture bill forbidding the sale of stock
by any mining company that has no.
showing of ore.
Such a law would be ruinous, not
only to the Verde district but to other
mining sections of the state. The idea
must have originated with some alfalfa
seed grower.
What would have been the effect had
such law been in effect when James
S. Douglas took hold of the United
Verde Extension? The Extension had
no ore until a shaft was down 1900 feet.
The Magma, the latest sensation among
Arizona mines, had no ore until thou
sands of dollars had been spent in de-
velopment. There was practically no
surface showing at the Critic, the mine
that has made the third biggest copper
strike Of recent years in Arizona.
Some Of the richest mines in the
Butte region were discovered by drill
ing right out in the flats where there
was no sign Of ore whatever The same
thing is going to happen right here in
the Verde district.
If any concerted move is made to pass
a law prohibiting the sale Of stock by
mining companies that have not ore in
sight, the mining districts must get to
gether and fight to the limit. Such
law would not prevent validating, for
it is easy to find prospects that have a
few pounds Of ore. It would merely
hamper legitimate development in the
Verde and other mineralized districts.
Our esteemed contemporaries, the
Cactus Blade and the Florence Blade
Tribune, have been boastful of late of
the new bridge over the ella at Win
kelman, declaring it the only bridge on
the lower ella that is in commission.
We rejoice with out colleagues over the
completion Of the bridge at Winkel-
man, but we would like to call to their
attention the state highway bridge
over this turbulent stream at Wellton,
in Yuma county, commonly known as
the Antelope Hill bridge This bridge
is in commission, and has been almost
continuously since it's completion in
August, 1915.

When one considers the difficulties of
the trip today, and then recalls that in
the early COS prospectors wended their
way by sled over the ice in winter, a
distance of 5000 miles from Petrogad.
he can only feel amazed at their en-
ergy.
About 5000 employees are on the di-
rect payroll of the mining company,
and at least 10000 people are uepen~
ent directly or indirectly upon the min
ing operations.
"The mining world first became in
terested in this field when the rich
4Elagoveschensky claim was at its
greatest production. In one year, by
open cutting, 100000 cubic yards were
taken out and $1S,OOO,000 recovered.
This averages about $12 per square
foot of bed rock. In a distance of 20
miles the output of this valley has
been almost $10000000O The total
recorded output of the Benskoie prop
critics is in excess of $500, 000, OOO,s to
which must be added a considerable
amount of gold stolen and sold illicitly.
In this connection, the attitude of the
Russian government towards the steal
ing of gold is unique. The workmen
do not consider it. wrong to pick up
nuggets in the workings and to.keep
them.
1.-THE government regulations re-
garding the hiring of laborers stipu-
late that the rate of pay due to the
workman for gold so taken, is to be
specified in the contract" This UNI
doubtedly gives the workman a GER
tain right of ownership, and makes it
difficult to sue him for picking up
nuggets, and any agreements without
this clause are considered illegal Any
effort to cope with this evil is an un-'
even struggle of one honest man
against several hundred expert thieves,
whose actions are sanctioned by es-
tablished custom, and partly protected
by the governmental regulations.
I'm one working place the gold has
averaged for period of over a month,
$746.75 per cubic yard. In all of these
places a Waterman is kept for each
miner, to prevent theft. So far as
know, this is the richest gold field in
the world today. When comparison is
ages from nine to forty-three cents
per cubic yard, one marvels that even
greater profits have not been made.
But up to the present time operations
have been stated with dis
proportionate number of clerks, book
Keepers, foremen, watchmen, drivers,
carriages and equipment contenanced
throughout the administration, so that
nothing less than veritable Ell Dorado
could have supported the overhead ex-
pense.
"The introduction of dredges, with
the consequent saving of values, the
influx of modern methods and correct
mining administration, with the elm
ination of theft and cumbersome red
tape, will bring about improved con-
ditions of transportation, improved
food, housing and living, and will make
Siberia eventually as easy of access,

tiles for mineral development as

PARKER NOW
ON EVE OF BOOM

PARKER, Ariz.. Dec. EFF the
volume OF inquiries and numbers of
mining men that have. begun to pour
into Parker is any indication, this dis
trict is on the eve Of a real boom. Ac
tiVity in the copper fields is perhaps
the most pronounced.
Operators are mining quite a bit of
good ore on the extensive property ad-
joining the Clara Consolidated and en-
bracing the u claims recently merged
into the big consolidated known as the
Arizona Revenue Copper Company
This one carries some fair gold
values and assays as high as Is per
cent copper. 1t is understood that
party of prominent California investors
will visit this property within the next
two weeks.
r T.. j. Carrigan, representing Los An
geles and Pasadena capital was in
Parker all this week, and reports that
the Consolidated Copper company,
which has extensive holdings just west
of the Revenue, will soon begin active
operations
A. B. Jones, president of the Argus,
and heavily interested in the Planet
mine, has just returned from a trip
to San Francisco and Los Angeles on
business connected with his properties
The lessees of the Planet have shipped
over 100000 of high grade gold and
copper ore during the last eighteen
months.
B. L. Vaughn of San Diego, president
of the Arizona McGinnis was in Par
ker this week and reports that the Ari-.

month it is stated there is enough ore
blocked out above, the 40O-foot level to
last for the next quarter century. The
greater part of the property is as yet
practically undeveloped.
There is a persistent rumor that the
Swansea smelter' will soon be in op-
Grafton
The Mohawk Consolidated, which re-
Gently took over the Emerald and Ty-
rome group under lease and bond, has
started operations. There is 100-foot
shaft on the property and 800 feet of
Prosecuting has been accomplished.
The company is installing a matte
plant.
To date the production of the Billy
Mack is about 100000 Harry Higin-
botham of Chicago, and his associates
are putting in a 70 ton concentrating
plant to handle the ores. Several car
loads have been shipped averaging be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 per car.
Finances for the power plant for
Parker are being secured and it is prob
able that construction will begin
shortly. The plant will be a boon to
the district as it will supply a large
territory. Pending the development Of
hydraulic energy from the Colorado
river, the power plant will use oil burn
ing engines.

VIVID DESCRIPTION Of THE
SIBERIAN GOLD DISTRICTS

DR.. Henry Mace Payne, c. E., Phi. D.,
Sc. D., consulting engineer of New
York city and formerly professor of
mining at the University of West Vir-
ginia, was the guest of honor of the
Mining Society of the University of
Arizona recently. DIR. Payne is known
as one of the greatest authorities upon
recovery of gold from frozen gravels
sponsible for the Introduction of the
present hot water thawing devices now
in use in the Klondyl1e For the past
Few years he has been in charge of the
operations of the Lena Csoldfields com
pany in Siberia, and acted as arbi-
traitor for that company in controversy
with the Russian government. Later
he was retained as consulting engineer
by the latter and is still in it's employ
in connection with his other duties
Dr. Payne spoke to the Mining So
ciety on the removery of gold from
tribute to the prospector. He said 1.-The
mining engineer is apt to think himself
a pioneer. In methods, perhaps, he is.
But the mining engineer passes upon
the development of the prospect, While
the prospector himself makes possible
the field for examination and subse-
oil fol
~l lines. Without the prospector, few of
our largest operations today would
have been in existence The pros
pector always in search of the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow, is the
worlds most striking example of the
adage hope spgings eternal in the hu-
to the traveller; his endurance tested to
the utmost, the prospector has always
been and must always be, the advance
guard of the great army of mining
men,
Describing Siberian mining condi-
tons, DR.. Payne said:
THE discovery of gold in Siberia, is
very interesting. About 1850 a peasant
discovered gold in the site of the pres
ent Beresovsky mine in the North
Urals. This was in the reign of the
Empress .Ekaterina. The peasant was
imprisoned for life, for undue Curl
osity.' .
I'm 1851 Roukholff propounded
theory that no river flowing south
could have gold in an east tributary.
The Verni is an east tributary of the
Nigri. A Tartar servant found mug
get and Roukholff gave him beating
for stealing. The Tartar then went to
one Vacielievsky, working on the
Hhomolhho, and Vacielievsky staked
the claim. In a distance of less than
two miles on this stream, there were
subsequently taken out $15,SS0, 400
worth of gold.
Entrance to the gold fields of ST.
IBERIA is by means of the Trans Siber-
ian railway to Irkutsk, on the west
shore of Lake Baikal. For 240 miles
from Irkuts fair automobile road
has been built. From here on the trip
may be made by rowboat, distance
of 80 miles. In low water, a team of
horses and native wagon, telega' is
essential
Food is secured at the various ma
tive settlements en- route, and men to
row the boat down stream or horses to
tow it against the current, are OBJ

Mrs. Fred Platten of Ash Fork drove to Williams yesterday, Wed. nesday; with horse and; buggy. When about half way up Ash Fork hilIthe team stopped ana refused to Ego. Whipping only q caused them to rear and attempt to turn aside. Thinking something was the matter with the harness to cause the horses unusual conduct Mrs, Platten got out and walked aroahd5in<frent of them. Sudden ly .ishe heard f'the singing of a rattlesnake and second later felt glancing blow on her ridding boot. On looking down she saw a large rattlesnake in a very beliger- ant attitude. Mrs. Platten is not afraid of snakes aud she soon had the large rattler "hors de combat with badly bruised head.
 On examining her boot, Mrs Platten found that while it had not been punctured by the rattle sanke's fangs, the leather was cut and scuffed. The snake was the largest ratter Mrs. P:atten had ever seen. She is an Arizona woman of long residence and knows a large rattlesnake when she Sees one. .. .-.
 The encounter with the rattler caused Mrs. Platten to get a good soaking. She made the. last 30 minutes of her trip in a drenchin 2 rain.
