TAX COLLECTIONS GOOD.

County Treasurer W. d. Diley was
yesterday prepared to give out exact
figures with reference to the amount
o. taxes collected in Yuma county ON
all classes of property for the first
semi annual period of 1915, and his
report disclosed an exceptional rec
ord. The total semi-annual roll
amounted to $1S9,3O2.22 at the COM
mencement of the collection period,
and at the time payments became
delinquent there had been collected a
total of $140,S43.1S, according to the
balanced record last night By this
1t would seem that more than the
amount due had been paid, but such
is not the case, as there are repre-
sented in the amount collected many
plVments that cover assessments of
property for the full year of 1915, by
people who prefer to pay their full
taxes for year at once jas we'll as
small amount OF old delinquent pay
ments. The best estimate possible,
on the basis of the completed figures.
is that the delinquencies for the first
period will be very small this year,
probably smaller than for any semi
annual period since the two-pa YIN ent
plan became a law in this state It
all goes to show that money is free
aud easy in Yuma county at this
time, another evidence of the great
prosperity that is being enjoyed the
country over-Yuma Sun.

THE COPPER MARKET.

For the first time in the history of
the copper trade the red metal has
sold above 80 cents ON deliveries to
be made a year in the future. Other
records have also been established.
Spot copper has sold at "a ga cents,
December electroytic sold at "a 1-8
cents, first quarter at 33 to 33 1-2
cents, second quarter at 80 1-2
cents, and third quarter at 81 1-2
cents, while the fourth quarter of
next year business has been done at
30 to 30 1-2 cents. The extent of
the forward business in copper Is
alone sufficient to furnish an index
as to the trend of affairs but in ad.
dition the heavy buying of the red
metal for nearby deliveries creates
an unparalleled situation. Business
since our last report has been ON an
active scale. Buying for delivery
this year as we'll as over the first
half of next year did not abate. Con-
sumers who were thought to be pro-
teetcd for this period came into the
market and took sizable blocks Of
the metal. METERS who understand
their requirements or were dilatory
in covering were also in the market.
Business since Our last report has
amounted to fully 275,00O,OOO pounds,
the bulk of this tonnage being sold
by dealers for the first and second
quarter delivery. October production
is estimated at 172,OO0.00O pounds
but some producers expected that
November will show a yield close to
$50, 100000 pounds.
The prices are difficult to quote
all transactions being subject to in
diyidual negotiation. Thus while one
sale for the first quarter may be
made at 33 IA cents, the next may
be done a 33 12 cents, second quar-
ter at 30 1-2 cents, third quarter at
81 1-2 cents, and fourth quarter at
80 to 30 IA cents.-Mining and En-

MINES MADE
NOT FOUND
IT TAKES BRAINS, NOT LUCK,
TO DEVELOP A MINE-MiNiNG
CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA BET
TER THAN ELSEWHERE.

PHOENIX, Nov. 29.-That the Ar
iona miner is better paid than the
copper miner of any other state in
in the union was the statement made
last nlgbl by G. r. Campbell of Calu
met. Michigan, private secretary to
r. F. Cole of Duluth, Mimi, probably
one OF the biggest copper magmates
In the United States. Messrs Cole
and Campbell arriv ed in Phoenix last
night. the former en- route to Los Am
geles.
Mine conditions in Arizona today
surpass those of any other state.
The wages are much higher than in
ether states and the working hours
shorter. The working day for the
miner in Arizona is only eight hours
and when lunch time is deducted
from this together with time for de-
cending and ascending the mine shaft
not over seven hours i'm actual work
is put in.
Then, too, other conditions are
much better than in other states.
The miner in Arizona does not have
to contend with the many disagree
able features encountered by those
in other states. Weather conditions
are also much more favorable here
That the future mining possibilities
of the state will produce more than
the dreams of even the states fond
est admirers is the belief of Mr..
Campbell. He is of the opinion, how
ever, that the mines of. today
are made, not found.
lit takes a man with brains to de-
yelop a mime and to operate it On
a money making basis. 1t takes scien-
tific working to sink a shaft and to
carry on the other operations that
are necessary to make a mine. 1t
is not every man who can accomplish
these things and in such instances,
the mines Will never develop into
rich ore producing bodies.
"Of course not every mine will de-
yelop. Some mining companies ara
organized where ore does not exist
and even under competent manage
ment, these mines could not be made
TO produce
But the man who can keep going
down until he strikes rich ore body
is today a genius.
Mr.. Campbell had not heard OF the
recent trouble dn the Miami district
until last night He expressed his
pleasure at the stand taken by minerT
in that district against President
elect Donnelly Saturday night, when
that individual attempted to call
strike in favor Of the closed shop.

PROF. WHITES
PREDICTIONS
PSYCHOLOGIST AND SEER WIS.,
IT'S PARKER AND FORETELL9 s.
FUTURE EVENTS, SOME OF
WHICH OF LOCAL INTEREST.

lProf j. A. White, the famous psy-
chclogist, healer and seer, is spend
ing the week in Parker demonstrat--
ing his wonderful powers. Prof.
White is we'll known in this state,
as we'll as in most of the states of
the union. The past few months he
has spent along the border and in
Phoenix, where he made some re-
lnarkable cures and prophecies.
IMonday evening he gave quite an
Interesting lecture and deomnstra-
tion in healing and prophecy at Hos
felt's hall He carries with him
many letters and newspaper clippings
which apparently prove that his pro-
phecies are generally accurate. On
September Z he predicted President
Wilson's election, giving the exact
number Of electoral votes he would
receive In Douglas during the
worlds series he foretold the Win
ners Of each game, giving the score.
In view of his remarkable prophe-
ctes in the past some of the events
which he foretold Monday evening
are of local interest. Prof. White as
sumes, what he calls, the sub
conscious state when he fcretells
the future. After assuming this state
Monday evening at the close ct his
lecture he was asked several ques-
tions by persons In the audience.
The most important question asked
the professor was the one relating
to the opening Of the Colorado River
Indian reservation.
TO this question Prof White re-
piled There are at present being
prepared in Washington certain doc
uments pertaining to the opening OF
the reservation, and not later than
August IL, 1917, definite action will
be taken by the proper authorities in
regard to the opening, This time
next year Parker will have from 500
to 700 more people than it has at
present"
He also foretold that a new hotel
will be built and completed in Parker
before the close of May, 1917. An
other prediction was that one good
mine will be developed here soon
but that the property had not yet
changed hands, but would be trans
ferred to new owners on December
10.
