.COA[ IS UNTOUCHED AMONC
 RESOURCEsOF THE STATE

undertaken for several reasons-the growth of the country has not been along manufacturing lines where a cheap source of fuel was a necessity; the proximity of the Gallup fields of New Mexico and the ease with which 1t could be secured, has made the price low enough to satisfy the de- mands; the isolation of the coal dis trict is such as to make develop ment very expensive. In the face of these reasons there is little likelihood Of any further activity for a number of years to come, but with increased
 population, increased manufacturing and increased demand for power,
 these neglected portions of Arizona's
 mineral resources may be a source. of great wealth. There are two ways in which this is most likely to come
 about; one through the demands of the copper smelters for fuel and through the demand of the industries
 for power
 Bulletin No, 17, entitled Coal in
 Arizona" by A. c. Rubel, has created
 considerable interest, owing to the
 fact that many people did not have .any idea of the coal deposits of the state. This maybe obtained by writ ing Charles F. Willis, director, Ari- zona State Bureau of Mines, Tucson

SURVEY. BOARD
 GETS TO WORK
Board Will Know How Much Water Supply it Has When it Admits Ex- tra Acreage Into Full Par ticipation of Benefits

Safety first principles will guide. the project survey board in it's con- sideration of the problem of admit ting extra lands, according to a state ment by Chairman Frank w. Hanna yesterday, at the opening session. We will know there is water enough, and then admit lands to fit" he said.
 With the members, w. A. Parish and Frank Asplind. MT, Hanna got started yesterday on some of the vol luminous figures that must be dug into before tabulation can be made of supply and demand. Hanna had just arrived from his Iowa farm, where last week he was engaged in person. ally narrowing in a corn crop, and he displayed healthy tan. But with him, it was easy to get down to cases. Parish, too, has been engaged in other lines of work since leaving here He has built bit of pave ment, mined some gold and engin- eered around Los Angeles. few. As blind is the mathematician of the l board, and whenever anybody springs bunch of arithmetic, he pulls out a l slide rule and checks up the compu- l tation
 | There are three considerations ac- 1 tuating the board in it's work to ex- 1 tend the project boundaries, and only one of them is a positively known factor. The reservoir is full and has been. to all intents and pur- poses for two years. The water plane ] in the valley has risen. although how much is not strictly known. The matter on which the majority of the preliminary computation must be made. relates to the duty of water since the original survey board report
 went into effect. It must be made clear that the actual duty of water has been raised, and it is intimated that this is to be shown.
 No member of the board know! just how long the present task vii
 last, but Hanna says this job will b,
 considerably lighter than the frs one, in which the entire project hat

 fore even the start for a report coult

HARVEY HOUSES WILL

Phoenix will be advertised by means of Roosevelt dam photographs in one dozen Harvey houses along the Santa Fe main line. This was the result of an exchange of letters be- tween the Chamber of Commerce and Santa Fe railway officials, culminat- ing yesterday in the announcement that twelve big prints of the dam would be used in as many hotels.
 The movement is in line with the general publicity campaign of the Chamber of Commerce, involving the distribution of thousands of high class art prints of the dam.

State Bureau of Mines is Authority for Statement That Lack of Interest Isn't Because Coal De- posits Aren't

The matter of coal as an economic resource of the state of Arizona has received little more than passing in- terest, but it is a subject that is worthy of serious consideration. With the vast production of metals forming the basis of the mineral output, the addition of coal as resource has not been considered of sufficient impor- tance to warrant any extensive devel- opments, or indeed any thorough prospecting of the coal region con- tained in the state. Consequently it is rot known with any degree of ac- curacy just what the possibilities are, but it is known that there are coal deposits of considerable value and extent in at least three parts of the state.
 That these deposits existed has been known for a number of years, but their exploitation has not been

FINANCES and MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, May IT. (Wall Street) Irregularity was the dominant feature of today's market, which seemed to be governed almost entirely by specula- tive considerations or exigencies. Peace rumors were. again current, but they eXerted little more than passing influence. A far more potent factor was the continued selling of inter- national issues, including United States Steel. Wall street is without direct means of tracing the source of this liquidation but it bears the marks of foreign origin.
 Stocks were under pratial restraint at the opening, but withstood persis- tent pressure until midday, when most of the specialties and allied issues fell sharply on rumors that threatened revival of recent international diff culties.
 Munitions and motors were at all times variable, when not heavy the latter scoring extreme Iecessions of 3 to points, with losses of l to in the so-cal,ed munitions. The one striking exception to the general ten
  dency in the war stocks shares was General Electric which recored a gain of 3A. Mexicans were firm during the forenoon, but fell away with cop pers and other metals on increase offerings later. United States Steel was more prominent than yesterday hut it's activity was largely at the ex- pense of it's strength closing at prac- tically a point loss.
 Aside from Reading the tendency of rails was downward.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 10000 shares.
 Bonds were firm, total sales par value aggregated S4,2O0, ,000.
 United States bonds were un- changed on call.
