Charles w. Clark, general manager of the interests of his father, Senator w. A. Clark, of the resignation of Will l.. Clark, manager of the United Verde Copper company since 1914. Mir Clark rendered his resienation several months ago and it was Gccept- ed with the keenest regret by the gen eral manager. It became effective Wednesday.
 Robert E. Tally, for eight years superintendent of mines for the Unit ed Verde company, is MT. Clark's sue 1 cessor. His title is assistant general manager. For the present he will continue to act as superintendent of mines, the matter of appointing new man to the position having been given but little attention to date. l Local regrets at the retirement of MT. Clark is tinctured with satisfac- tion that General Manager Clark saw | fit to appoint as chief executive of the United Verde, the highest office in the Clark organization below his own, genial, likable and efficient Bob" l Tally. No employe of the United Verde is more popular than Mr. Tally His record as superintendent of mines has attracted the attention and fav- orable comment of the most important meE in the copper industry. How he is regarded by Senator Clark and his sen, the general manager, is shown by bis immediate appointment to his present position when they had failed to induce W. l.. Clark to reconsider his resignation.
 MT. Clark flatly denies all rumOrs that he is to assume the manager ship of some other local company. T have no intention of taking any man. agerial position" he said last night. : He has resigned in order to devote his time to several companies in which he is is interested, also to in teTests in Montana.

Arizona Copper Co. a Clifford Young personal representative of J. Brandensen
 & Co., San Francisco.

Graham county, has struck vein of high grade copper ore, averaging ten per cent, after going through body of low grade ore assaying about or 5 per cent for 65 feet. The extent of this high grade ore body cannot be estimated with the present findings, but after drilling for several days the steel is still in high grade at 95 feet.
 Drill No. 8, after considerable de lay on account of mechanical troubles is at last in commission, and is work ing on the northern end of the prop lerty Drill No. 2, after getting water at 57 feet, has been withdrawn, and is now on the ore. By means of these drills, all working in widely separated parts of the property, the engineer in charge expects to be able to form at least a rough estimate of the extent of the ore body, within few months. complete map however will not be available for many months.

PROSPERITY HAS NOT
 SPOILED G. w. HULL

George w. Hull, who recently dis posed of his mining interests in that district to Senator w. A. Clark for the reported sum of $1,000,000, has contributed the sum of $1200 towards the furnishing of the woman's annex to the Pioneer Home at Prescott. The annex has recently been complet- ed with part of bequest left by the late George w. Parsons of Tomb stone, but the sum was insufficient to furnish the annex and MT. Hull has come to the rescue with check for $1200.
 Accompanying the donation was a letter to Superintendent Wren, that if this was not sufficient, more would be forthcoming. The donation was made without solicitation. MT. Hull is one of Yavapai county's enterpris- ing citizens and served her in the past in many important positions, as legislator and otherwise.

SENATOR MARK SMITH
 IS CALLED EAST

United States Senator Mark Smith who had expected to make a campaign of the state in the interest of the na- tional and democratic state ticket, and who had planned to do so at his own expense, has been called to the bedside of his two brothers in Frank fort Kentucky, according to a letter received recently by George N. Stone man, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee.
 Senator Smith in his letter states that one of his brothers is dying, and the other dangerously i'll.
 He adds: q am particularly sorry to be called away from Arizona at this time as I have been so anxious to enter this campaign. I know how important it is to the state and to tie nation and I had hoped to do my part in securing a Democratic vic tory"

These orders have been paced with different large manufac- turing concerns of the country, one of them being for a head frame struc- tural steel and corrugated iron, which was awarded to the Fl Paso Bridge and Iron company.
 This will provide the necessary steel for all the building required at the property An order was placed with Mcintosh & Seymour six weeks ago for a Diesel engine for the power house.
 On account of the congested ,condi- tions of the plants which will manu- fracture this equipment the contracts provide for delivery in from five months to one year. and include ma terial for a mill, hoist, compressors, c1ushers, ore bins and such buildings as are necessary for the employees.
 The ore treatment will be the flo tation process, as worked out by Cal low, and is similar to that of the In- spiration and Magma companies, which differ somewhat from the pro- cess used in the Ray Consolidated.

NSURES ITS EMPLOYEES
 FREE OF CHARGE
The John BolIman Company lnaugu- rates New Industrial Welfare Scheme.

In line with modern efforts toward welfare in working conditions, one progressive manufacturer in San Francisco has recently inaugurated plan of insuring it's employees, free of any charge to them.
 Under this plan each employee of the company is asked to designate in writing the person or persons he or she wishes to become beneficiary in Ihe event of death. To such benefi- ciary this company has agreed to pay the sum of $500 % in the event of the death of the employee.
 The plan has received the hearty approval of the large corps of factory workers, office employees and sales men employed by the company. Es- pecially in the case of factory workers the insurance has been greatly appre- ciated, as it often happens that they are not in position to provide for those dependent upon them in case of their death.
 A glance at the list of beneficiaries designated is interesting from the point of appreciation of this insur- ance. For example, one woman has requested that the $500 .00 be distrib- uted amongst her seven children. Doubtless Sne te6lS that at least SHe has now some small protection for those dear to her in case their support is withdrawn by reason of her death.
 The John Bollman Company who have established this new scheme, are large manufacturers of cigarettes in San Francisco. This is in line with the many other favorable working conditions for those employed by them that they have embodied into their new and modern plant. trip through this modern factory with it's spotless tile walls, it's light, cheerful working floors, rest rooms, shower baths and restaurant facili- ties is an education along industrial welfare lines.

GUGGENHEIMS IN
 CHLORIDE DISTRICT


 With the recent sampling of the Payroll and the subsequent visit of Julius Krutschnitt, Jr., there seems to be a move on the part of the Gug- genheim interests to acquire more property in the Chloride district. At one time this company was pro- nouncedly for silver, but of late it is strongly leaning toward lead, and it is believed that it's coming into Chloride portends extensive devel- opment in search of big producers of that metal.
 With the acquisition of the Elk hart and the prospective purchase of the Payroll, the A. s. & R. will have heavy holdings in this district. it is said that overtures have been made to others in the district and' there is little doubt in the minds of mining men here that their invest ments in Chloride are just begin ming.
 With the substantiation of what at present is only conjecture, no bsK ter news can possibly be seN abroad. It is a well known fact that many mining men of means fol- low where the Guggenheims lead, and their entry into a country is the strongest argument that can be used to establish meritorious propositions in the minds of other investors.

Consolidated and Chino proper

Ray Consolidated and Chino proper ties.
 While this company has not been making much noise concerning its opera tions, which were commenced a I:ttle over a year ago, two shafts have been sunk, the main one of which is 750 feet deep, and from 130 to 150 men are employed.
 Considerable bodies of ore, running from 6 to 10 per cent, has been en- countered and regular shipments of carbonate ores are being made to the Fl Paso shelter.
 in the main shaft bodies of native copper were encountered between the 500 and 700-foot levels, and the com pany is working three shifts contin- uously. In addition to the operations in these shafts a number of churn drills are also employed in prospect
 ing the ground, some of them having
 penetrated the interior of the prop erty to a depth of from 600 to 15OO feet.
 The company is backed by some of
 the wealthiest men in the mining
 business, among them being MT.
 Heckshire, the New Jersey zinc man WHO mdQe d present OI 91U,UuO Co IHe Deutschland on her visit to Baltimore Frank Armstrong is also member oi the directorate, and MT. Hopkins oi 1 New York, formerly connected with the Arizona Copper company, is heav' fly interested.
 This property lies northeast of the Ray Consolidated and adjoins it, g portion of the town of Ray being on the Hercules holdings and the water supply for the town being obtained from this company. The placing of the plant and the op eration of the mines are under the su peIvision of O. E. Addams, a well known mining engineer.

Cotton Despite Weevil.

tor of the Mississippi experiment sta
tions, now manager of the Delta
Planting Company plantations at
Scott, Miss, delivered a worth while
address here last night to the farm
ers of Union county, who arrived
yesterday in automobiles for a two
day short course in agriculture
Growing Cotton Under Boil Weevi
Conditions" was the subject of The
lecture, and Prof. Fox's remarks
were based on his experiences witt
the weevil.
He stated that in addition to {
good soil, well drained, early anC
thorough preparation of the seeC
bed and early planting of plenty O
seed were essentials to success. HI
pointed out that if the first croI
failed it was too late to re-plant cot
ton, but some other crop should b.
substituted. He advocated a thicl
stand, as much as 10000 stalks tt
the acre, rapid cultivation and keep
ing the grass down as the sures
method of getting a fair crop set be
fore the weevils appeared. Compare
lively early and vigorous varieties
were recommended. Prof Fox state,
that cold winters were the best pro
lection and gave scientific demon
strations, showing the infestation
to be light following hard winters.
He stated that he had not foun
it profitable to pick up the squares
owing to heavy demand for labo
on other farm operations at tina
season of the year.
