F. w. AKIN HEAD OF
THE NEW MOVEMENT
Wickenburg Newspapelman
Concludes Visit to Phoe-
nix in Which He Puts His
Towns Claim into Words !;
Eastern Money Maybe

That one of the greatest industrial
projects ever undertaken in Maricopa
County is now in process of negotiation
between parties representing eastern
capital and the citizens of Wicken-
burg was disclosed by the visit to
Phoenix the last few days of f. w.
Akin, formerly newspaper man and al
ways one of the live boosters of the
busy little mining city by the Has
sayampa.
Representatives of eastern capital
have been in the state for some little
time seeking a site for the location of
a smelter and the Wickenburg Cham
Der of Commerce is putting forth every
effort to secure the location at that
point. A committee, of which Mr.. Akin
was chairman, was sent to Prescott to
confer with the promoters of the pro-
ject. A site for the location of the
plant and free water were rendered on
behalf of Wickenburg. Many compel
ling reasons were given why the plant
should be located at that point, princi-
pal among them being the fact that il
is located in the center of one of the
most promising mining districts in the
state, district which has long since
proved the volume and value of its
mineral wealth; its distance from 9TH
er smelters and the ideal conditions
which surround the movement of ore
to that point. From the northern part
of the state the haul is down-hil prac-
tically all of the way, while from the
southern and western districts the
latter comprising the wonderfully rich
A. &, C. country whose undeveloped re-
sources it is confidently predicted viii
equal or surpass that of any other dis
trict of the state, the haul is virtually {

CONDITIONS FOR THE PROJECT

that this feature alone is ample justi-
fication for the establishment of the
big industry at that point. Needles,
California, it is said, has the only other
smelter anywhere near, which handles
this class of ore and as that one is
privately owned and running to its full
capacity in the reduction of it's own
ores, no development of the Arizona
lead mines can be expected from that
source.
That a smelter at Wickenburg would
give a great impetus to the develop
ment of the mining business in Mar
icopa and Yuma counties, also in the
Kirkland and Skull Valley districts, is
a certainty.
Mr.. Akin was a guest of the Rotary
Club at its Friday luncheon, entertain
ing it with a forceful and highly in
teresting talk upon the subject of the
proposed smelter.

MODERN DAIRY
BETTER MILK

The recent publication as an Off |
cial statement from the city health Of |
ficer of the report of the dairy in
spector relating to the tests of the
products of the various dairies sup
plying milk and cream to patrons in
this city, created no end of talk. The
report served to indicate to the citi
zens something of the care which is
being exercised by the officers of the
city health department in examining
the milk supply in an effort to secure
compliance with the milk ordinance
and to bring to this city the benefits
from health standpoint accruing
thereby
Among the diaries referred to in the
report whose standing at that time
was not among the best, but was in
no measure so unsatisfactory as to
warrant apprehension on the part of
it's customers, was the Central avenue
dairy, conducted by Geare Brothers
The tests of the milk of that estab-
lishment included in the report were
made only a few days before the
newest and most modern dairying
plant in the southwest was put into
commission. II was natural that in
the operation of moving from one
plant, and one that was none too
modern, into one that is the last word
in up-to- the minute construction,
there should be difficulty in keeping
the products up to the required stand
ards The report as presented at that
time was as follows
Butter Total
Fat Solids Bacteria
Pct Pet. Per C. c.
Cream .......22 12,0OO,0Oo
Milk .. 33 12.1 100000
Late last week several new samples
were taken by Dairy Inspector Joseph
p Kehoe and turned over to the city
pathological laboratory The report
of the laboratory on the later tests
of milk handled in the new and mod
ern plant is as follows:
Butter Total

| And Geare Brothers, who have been
| in the dairying business for several
years, are eminently satisfied with
this showing and with the assurance
! that they have now established
standard hard. to beat and one which
| they can and will maintain.
Incidentally an invitation is ex-
tended to the general public to visit
this new plant, which is located less
/ than two miles north on Central ave-
nue. Such "a visit will be both inter-
esting and educational. Everybody
| is welcome.
| Other dairies in the valley are fall
| ing in line with the suggestions of the
city health department and is ex-
pected that when the next monthly
report is published there will be a
satisfactory improvement shown.

this afternoon as former Villa officers,
once included in the command of Cen
eral Maytorena, Villista governor of the
state of Sonora.
They would not discuss the killing,
nor any incidents of their long trip to
San Pedro. Beyond the one admission
that they had hated Chavez, since he
had officiated at the execution of their
nephew in Mexico last year, they would
not talk.
Guard Court room
Feeling in San Pedro is high over the
killing of Luis Chavez here yesterday.
Both Acostas and Chavez have their
numerous partisans, and the bad blood
that led the former Villa officers to kill
the eX-executioner is nable to break
out.
When General and Captain Acosta
are given their preliminary hearing be
fore Justice of the Peace Studley in

be well guarded. Suspicion that friends
of Chavez will attempt a demonstra-

from the two mills, at Tonopah and
Millers The Tonopah mill shipped
l00095 ounces bullion worth $85,
0S075, and a. tons concentrates val
ued at $400 per ton, $1,000 The Gus
tom mill at Millers, which runs chief
ly on Jim Butler ore, sent out 47,5o(
ounces bullion worth $40, 0,43ll0, tota'
from both mills of $l43,ll1.
Twenty three bars OF bullion, weigh,
ing 77,7l0 ounces, was the output OF
Tonopah Extension, the value being
placed at $6216S.
Tonopah Mining of Nevada shipped
80 bars, worth $5S,S75, gain OF
S2,S75 over the first half of October
West End shipped AZ bars containing
68,332 ounces, vayued at $5S,0S2. All
the bullion values are estimated at s.
cents per ounce, five cents higher
than former estimates, because of the
advance of silver to quotations above
20 cents.

proved of considerably lower grade
than was indicated by mine assays.
As in other mines of the district, it
has been found that the sampling of
working faces in ore is not reliable.
and that the ore breaks too low to
yield profit in this ground.
mo question of the success of the
flotation process in the treatment of
Florence ore has arisen in connec-
ton with thesuspension of work The
re-treating an average of 200 tons
daily, have been altogether satisfac-
tory and in the treatment of con-
siderable proportion of the mines
OUTPUT the recovery has been unex-
pectedly high, the loss in failing av-
eraging only from 20 to 40 cents per
ton. Here as elsewhere, however, it
is said that difficulty has been met
in treating oxidized ores and a con-
siderable quantity of ore of this char
acter is exposed in the Florence
mine.
This condition is said to offer one
OF the Grief obstacles to operating the
Florence property at a profit under
present conditions. A large guam
tity of oxidized ore is available of a
grade too low to ship to distant points
for treatment, but unsuited for flota-
ton. This ore might be treated prof
itably in a large cyanide plant, but
none is now available here for its
treatment

TO FACE
SOCIAL PROBLEM

Whether or not Europe will be
obliged to change its marriage laws
as the result of the war is the ques
ton which has recently occupied so
biologists in the central states. Most
of them are OF the opinion that mate
rial notifications must ensue; few
think that legalized polygamy must
established in order to provide for
the surplus women which two years
of warfare has made one of the prob
lens of all Europe.
The total population of the states
the nonarian elements of Rus
sia excepted, is roughly estimated al
373,000000, of which, according to
best sources. lSS.000,000 are womer

and l85,00O,000 are men.

and l85, ,000,000 are men.
For the countries of Europe where
exact statistics are available the pro-
portion is los males to 107 females.
For Europe this leaves in normal
times an excess of 100000 females,
of which number third would be
manageable.
To this millions of women that at
present can find no husband, for the
reason that nature, while ensuring an
exces in the birth of males permits
more of them eto die in infancy, will
be added at least eight millions whom
death on the battlefield and incapaci-
tating wounds has also deprived OF
mates. Europe, therefore, is face to
face with the question of how these
nine million women are to be cared
for.
Economically the problem has been
solved by the women themselves, by
showing that in many departments o.
industry they are able to fill a place
But sociologists point out that, except
the state makes provisions tending to
avert this, certain natural law would
increase greatly the race of illegiti
macy of children, which even now Is
a serious mater
1t is impossible to say just how
European legislatures will meet the
situation Legal polygamy is so un
welcome to Europe's social system
and religion, that opposition to it will
be great. The belief is held, for this
reason, that legally, at least, illegit
imacy will be abolished and that laws
will be passed giving the child borr
out of wedlock every right upon the
the care and property of its father
1t is argued that this measure of ex
pediency would meet. the situation
easily, and that it would violate ne
social arrangement now in force, Civ
ing in its most extreme application
nothing but an expression to a ten
dency which has manifested itself il
Europe for several years past.

Over 1000 carloads of potatoes will
be shipped out OF Nevada this year
according to figures obtained by the
Southern Pacific Company. Each car
lot shipment will contain IS tons,
making total of $4,000 tons for the
years crop, which is the largest ever
recorded in the State.
The farms of Fallon, Yerington,
Minden, Reno, and Wadsworth are
the principal contributors TO the
crop. According TO latest reports the
potatoes will sell for from $35 to $4U
a ton, bringing into the State nearly
100000.
A campaign to increase the potato
crop OF the State was inaugurated
early last spring by the Southern
Pacific company and the University

farmers were assured good price
In the Minden district the increase
in the crop was particularly large
while in the Yerington and Fallor
