Gorham Is Out
For Treasurership

c. w. Gorham, deputy clerk of the
superior court at Florence, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
county treasurer, subject to the demo-
cratic primaries
Mr. Gorham is a native of Indiana,
thirty three years old, with a wife and
three children. He worked for various
railroads in the east and came to Ari-
zona seven years ago to work for the
Arizona Eastern as manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company at
Kelvin when Kelvin was booming. He
was then moved to Hayden junction
as agent. Later to Ray as agent for
the Ray & Gila Valley railway at which
place he was for three years, then to
Florence as agent, which position he
! held at the time Mr.. Bennett was elect
ed to the clerk of the superior court
office. Mr.. Gorham resigned from the
service of the company at that time to
accept the deputyship under Mr.. Ben

increase, such as the settlement of the
strike at the Clifton Morenci mines in
January. The International smelter,
which treats Inspiration ore, contrib
utes the greatest part of the increase,
for this plant is supplying about one
fourth of the total copper. Marked in
creases and improvements were made
at the United Verde, Miami, Calumet
and Arizona, and OLD Dominion mines,
and the Sasco plant in Pima county
was again blown in. The railroad to
Ajo was completed and work has been
begun there on a 1000 ton teaching
plant.
There is great activity in the produc-
ton of gold, especially in Mohave coun-
ty, and the high price of zinc has slim
ulated production at the Tennessee,
Union Basin and Kingman zinc prop
critics The mill at the Union Basin
mine was enlarged, and work at the
San Xavier mine in Pima county was

Profanity Muffler
Is Placed on Raw

Determined to put stop to the ex-
cessive and unnecessary use of pro-
family on the streets of Ray by the
male population, Judge E. w. French
this week issued an order to peace Off
GERS to arrest promptly all persons
heard using profane or vulgar language
on the streets. The law provides a fine
of from 81 to $10O for using profane
or indecent language in public.
While there has been a good deal of
good -natured joshing as to who would
be the first to break over, and lots of
new denatured profanity, such as
"shucks,' curses. "consarn," ''by
heck and other mild expressions of
more or less emphatic displeasure are
now in order Seriously, however, the
order is being taken as it should be,
and the men of Ray who have been
too careless in the past are vieing with
each other, now that their attention
has been called to it, in seeing that
loud and rough language is eliminated
from the streets, and it is to be hoped
that they will be able to express them
selves without resorting to profanity
of the sort that will bring them with
in the clutches of the law.

RECORD PRODUCTION FOR
ARIZONA MINES IN 1916

The mines and smelters or Arizona
have been working at pressure so
high in 1916 that they are probably
making record productions of all met
ais. If they continue TO work at the
present rate during the year they will
make an output of over 600,000,000
of copper, against about 450,000,000 in
1915, according to reports received by
the u. S. Geological Survey from Vic
tor c. Heikes of the Salt Lake office
A corresponding increase in the output
of the precious metals and an increase
in that of lead and zinc, which is prob
able, will, at the greatly increased
prices make the total value of the out
put in 1916 nearly double that of 1915,
which was about $S8,000,000. Thus
Arizona not only retains first place as
a copper producer, but Is producing at
a rate nearly double that of any other
state. Aside from a general effort to
take advantage of an unusually active
market, several factors have aided this
