(4.) Two wells suitable for use i'm

(5.) That the general condition of

CO. That the cost to individual
settlers for securing water will be
about SIG per acre, based upon 100
acre homesteads, under each pump

7) That the cost of pumping on
account of the low lift becomes a
reasonable expense, when considered
in connection with the small peruna-
nent investment for obtaining water.

BIG INTERESTS
WANT CLARA
THOMAS ESTATE LEASE ON
CLARA WILL EXPIRE NEXT
WEEK AND CLARK, GUGEN-
Helm AND PHELPS-DODGE IN
TERESTS ARE AFTER MINE.

The lease on the Clara Consolida
ted mine at Swansea, which has
been held by the Thomas estate for
the past two years, expires on Octo-
ber 23 and there is much speculation
among mining men as to who will
come into possession of this valuable
property after next Monday.
The affairs of the Clara Consolida
ted have been in the hands of re-
ceiver for nearly three years, and
various 'rumors have been. in circula
tion the past month or two regarding
the future of the company.
During the time the mine has been
under lease immense ore reserves
have been opened UP, and large
portion of the old company's in
debtedness has been hquidated from
the royalties received from the
lessees.
Lit is the general concensus of opin-
ion that either the Clark, Phelps
Dodge Or Guggenheim interests will
purchase the property from the re-
ceiver. 1t is understood that the
price asked for the Clara is $780,
OOO'
1t is well known that each of the
above parties have made numerous
examinations Of the Clara during
the past two months. James Doug
las, president of the Phelps-Dodge
interests, has visited Swansea three
different times during this period,
and the other copper interests have
had their principals there ON numer-
GUS occasions.
superintendent Lane has announc-
ed that every miner will be paid off
next Monday, and only few men
will be retained in order to keep the.
mime unwatered and timbered.
Before the end of next week it is
expected that. some kind of a deal
will be made with either of the above
named copper interests for the Clara
property
Owing to the excellent record the
Swansea mine has made during the
past two years, every available par
Gel OF ground has been located in tha
Wcimlty for miles around, and a big
mining revival in that part of north
ern Yuma county is anticipated with
in the next few months.

as will also Congressman Carl Hay
den, who has been equally as pains
taking in his efforts for this entire
community.
Viewing the situation from. every
angle there is no reason to appre
hend that the Democrats of Yuma
county will fail to do their full duty
on the seventh of November. No
campaign in my recollection has ever
presented the same bright outlook
that now confronts u.s. However, we
must bear in mind that we have
resourceful enemy to deal with. In
politics they are up to all manner of
trading tricks. Do not let them
deceive you. Be on your guard, and
know full we'll that there isn't
chance, even of the Temotest char
acter, for the Republicans to elect
single candidate on their ticket,
either in Yuma county, the state, or
the nation. This is one time that
the Democrats will come into their
own by making an absolute, clean
sweep.
eve Want WILSON" is the slogan.
Eve Want Hunt" and We want
the entire Democratic ticket.
PLAY for the verdict of mankind,
as President Wilson says, and know
that in casting your vote for the en-
tire Democratic ticket you will not
only serve your party best, but that
you will best serve your country

Especial Correspondence.)
By B. F. FLY.

1t has been my good fortune to
nave been connected with every pres
idential campaign beginning with and
since 1880, when General Winfield
Scctt Hancock was the Democratic
nominee, and | am free to confess
that this is the most peculiar cam
paign l have ever waged-peculiar
in that the expressed public SEN
timent all seems to lean in the di-
rection of one candidate. Search
the records as you may and you will
not find its parallel in this respect.
The name of Woodrow Wilson is
now apparently one to conjure with.
His records of accomplishments
are penomenal. for through his urg
ing congress has passed more statu-
tory laws during his administration
than during the administration of any
half dozen presidents since the foun-
dationoftheg hegovernment The cry that
was raised by the masses in the Bal
timore convention, eve want Viii
SON. has been taken UP by the mass
es from one end of the nation to the
other until it would seem that the
people want nothing else. That is
because he has made good" and
mistake public sentiment if he does
not sweep the country from end to
end as was never before done by
candidate for president of the United
States.
Reports coming into local Demo
cratic headquarters very clearly in
dicate that President Wilson will not
only poll his full party vote in Yuma
county, but that he will receive a
very large percentage of the votes
of both the Republican and Socialist
parties, while like reports show that
our county and state tickets viii get
the full party vote and many votes
from the opposition, indicating that
every candidate on OUR county ticket

So far as our state ticket is con-

Governor Geo. W. P Hunt and the

member of the Democratic party
They will receive the largest majors

Democrats all know that Judge Ross

SMELLING
COST TOOHlGH

There is a growing sentiment
among the base metal operators OF
the mining states of the union, par
ticularly Arizona and New Mexico
that congress should be asked to
provide them relief from extortdo
practiced by the smelter concerns
says the Mohave Daily Miner. The
Miner is sincere in the belief that
the sentiment referrd to is we'll foun
ded and that something should be
done to afford the relief desired
This relief cannot be secured by
agitation, in which chambers of com
merce, boards of trade, banks OF
large mercantile establishments have
any voice, as the influence of the
smelling concerns, their subsidiaries
and kindred companies, is such that
they permeate all these arteries.
Neither is there any help to be ex-
pected from the ore sampling works
as there. are no longer any indepen
dent ore sampling firms or compan
les, and ALL without exceptions, are
either creatures of, or tributaries OF
the smelters. Furthermore, there is
a question whether many newspapers
Or magazines of the entire United
States are prepared ito take stand
in this matter and show up the rob.
berry to which the shippers are sub
jected. -
independent, in reference to- ore
samlpling works, is used advisedly,
for the reason that with very very
few exceptions all the large base
metal mines are either owned. con-
trolled or interviewer with the smelt-
ing interests, and, therefore, it is
the independent and usually small
shipper that will have to find some
medium through which to secure re-
lief, whcih will probably come through
federal and state legislation. 1t will
probably require both to bring about
the desired relief, namely, simple
Justice and fair treatment.
Take TOR instance, 10 per cent, cop
per ore. What does the miner or
shipper get for it under the new
schedule of treatment prices and
penalties given out by the Arizoan
smeltens? 1t is worth to a smelter
26 cents per pound-$52 per ton. The
shipper gets $17.4O, out of which he
has to pay for mining, hauling, rail-
road freight and moisture Take 40
per cent zinc ore, with spelter at 10
cents per pound. The smelters get
$50 for the spelter contained in a
ton Of this ore. They pay he pro-
ducer $50 to $35 per ton for the ore,
depending ON a number of conditions
The shipper pays out of his returns
mining costs, hauling, railroad freight
and moisture. Take so per cent ore,
worth to the smelters $65 to $40 per
ton, the miner gets $35 to $40 per
tom, less the cost named.

PARKER MAY
INCORPORATE
AT MEETING OF CITIZENS A COM-
MITTEE WAS SELECTED TO IN
VESTiGATE FEASIBILITY OF I'M
cORPORATiNG A TOWN Gov,
ERNMENT.

The first step toward investigating,
the practicability of incorporating
the town of Parker was taken Thurs
day evening. when the subject was;
discussed before a large assemblage
of citizens.
For several weeks past the matter
of Incorporation has been talked
about, but few, II any, had invest1-
gated the feasibility of such step
at this time to any material degree.
Thursday evening at the Woman's
club entertainment, 0. M. Spence
started the ball rolling by mention
ing the subject. He said that If 1t
was worth while making our homes
here it was worth while trying ito
improve and beautify the town. With
Parker's varied resources he beliey-
ed the future of the town was as
sured and It's development would
be greatly accelerated by organizing
a town government. AS chairman OF
the meeting, Mr. Spence called on,
a number of citizens for expressions.
of their opinion of incorporation.
3. NJ Fuqua, manager of the Par
ker Commercial company, and one OF
the towns largest taxpayers, deciar-
ed that incorporation looked good to
him SO far as he investigated the
matter. He believed that there was
an urgent need for a municipalow
ed water and electric light system
and that these improvements would
greatly add to the comfort and devel-
opment of the community.
G. A. Marsh stated that while he
had not investigated the subject &c
any great extent, he believed that
there were potential possibilities in
Incorporating; that incorporation
seemed to have assisted the growth
of other towns in the state, and call
ed attention to the. success OF the
Wickenburg municipal water system.
He thought that the subject was
worthy OF further investigation and
that such investigation should be
made at the earliest opportunity.
J. B. Flanagan stated that he be-
lieved the matter of incorporation
should receive careful consideration;
that it was important to ascertain
approximately the assessed valuation
of the community so as to deter.
mine the amount that could be lev
led Cor the support OF an incorpor-
atedl form of government; to investi-
gate the cost OF running the town,
and the approximate amount that
installing a municipal water and el-
ectric system and for street improve
.ments
Mr.. Flanagan offered motion that
L committee be appointed by the
chairman to go into the matter of
incorporation as fully as possible; to
ascertain the assessed valuation of
the property within the proposed
limits of the town, and such other
matters pertaining to the subject as
might ceme up for consideration.
The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously
The chairman named the following
committee, which was instructed to
call meeting of the citizens at
some future date: B. NJ FMqua, G..
A. Marsh, B. B. Brown, E. s. Os
borne and ]. B. Flanagan
The above committee is expected
to begin it's investigations as soon
as possible and report it's findings at
AN early date.

APPROVE REPEAL OF
 FREE SUGAR CLAUSE
House Democrats in Caucus Take Action as Party Measure
 Kitchin Prepared Bill.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Repeal of
 ] the free sugar clause of the Under
 wood tariff law was approved as a
 party measure late yesterday by the
 house democratic caucus. The vote Was S4 to 20.
 As the law now stands sugar would gc, on the free list May 1 with con seuuent estimated revenue loss at the rate of $4O,OOO,00O annually. The repeal which is expected to pass both houses before May 1, is provided for :n bill prepared by Majority Leader Kitchin.
 MT. Kitchin told the caucus yester- Gay that the preparedness program was going to cost the government a great deal of money and that the eX- benses would have to be met with as little burden upon and annoyance to the people as possible. He said that while the committee had not formed any conclusions, he thought the ma jirity of sentiment favored meeting the preparedness expenditure mainly from the income tax and by resort to an excise tatX on special articles and munitions manufactures.
 Stamp taxes MT. Kitchin said, in
 many cases were obnoxious and where
 l possible they would be eliminated in the forthcoming general revenue re- vision legislation. When asked if this
 would include stamp taxes on wines

One Effect New British Order Rc- stricting Imports Will Have on
 American Commerce.

Washington. Feb. 1S-Department of commerce officials said today that no one could foretell the aXact effect on American commerce of Great Bri- tains latest shipping and import re- strictions, announced recently in London.
 The avowed object of the British in prohibiting certain imports is 10 reduce the consumption of these classes of goods and to make room in incoming ships for commodities considered more necessary for the subsistence of the British people. This latest ruling, officials say, puts Brit aims foreign commerce absolutely in the hands of the gOVernm cnt
