ID HUNT RICH COPPER VEIN
 ON DESERT

Rumors of exceptionally rich copper deposits in the barren hills in the most southwesterly corner of Mohave coun- tY, have caused Delmar Sanderson, a gold prospector in the Lost Basin, to give up his quest for the yellow metal and turn his attention to copper.
 Mir. Sanderson is preparing to visit the scene of the reputed rich copper deposits. He and his partner expect within t.c nex. few days to dispose of several gold bearing claims for S6OO0. With his portion of this money, Mir Sanderson will add materially to his prospecting outfit.
 Within the next few days Mir. San derson, with five burros, will trek out of Lost Basin, cross the foothills to the Pierce ferry, and after crossing the Colorado river, climb the hills on the other side into the district in winch it is said the rich copper de- posits are to be found.
 Samples of this copper ore, recent ly brought out by railroad man, as sayed better than 25 per cent.
 On the other side of the river, Mir. Sanderson will be met by friend, who says he can take him direct to where the copper can be found. It is the intention of Mir. Sanderson, if the copper proves as rich as has been re- ported to him, to float it on barges to the shelter at The Needles.
 It is said there is sufficient drift wood in the river, and along its shores in the vicinity of the Pierce ferry, to enable Mir. Sanderson to build several barges.
 HIt will not cost me much to build several large floats," said MT. San derson, while outlining his plans to a representative of the Chloride Herald. "With the money I expect from my gold claims I will buy an auto and truck the copper ore from the mine to the river. At present I am figur- ing on floating about 40 tons of the ere to the smelter. If I find that car cannot be used to an advantage l will pack the ore from the mine to the river on burros.
 q have every reason to believe that the copper deposit is as large and as rich as reported to me and if l am not mistaken, and my plans do not miscarry, will make a fortune out of the green looking rock within the next year or two.
 ''The portion of Mohave county which I am going to penetrate has never been thoroughly prospected for either gold or silver, let alone copper" Chloride Herald.

aged 80, probably have the distinction
of being the oldest men in this part
of East Tennessee voting in the cleo
ton Nov. T.. These men are all re-
publicans and still take a great inter
est in the political affairs of the state
and nation. They were brought to
the polls early in the day and cast
their ballots. Maj. Hornsby and Mr..
Pearce voted at Athens and Mr.. Dod-
son at Englewood.
Maj. Hornsby, the oldest of the
three, has the distinction of voting
in nineteen presidential elections.
He was Fl in 1914, and cast his first
vote in the national election of that
year, in which James K. Polk, a
Tennessean, was elected.
These men are still in good health
and will probably have another OPP
portunity to vote in like election

by next July we will begin to get the
new crop and, even though it should
be as small as this one, there will
still be enough to keep US alive. On
the other hand, you can look for a
big acreage planted to wheat as a
result of the present high prices.
Every farmer everywhere who can
turn any land into wheat will do so
and a great deal of it will not appear
in the official figures.
The point l am trying to make
clear is that the statistics, official and
unofficial, are at best only guide
post and cannot be taken literally.
The crop as estimated by the govern
ment is only a guess based on per-
centages, and these percentages are
in turn estimated by the farmers
themselves, who are inclined to
underestimate as a rule. Based on
these figures. we then estimate the
consumption and add the exports
which are the only really accurate
figures we have. But subtracting
the combined totals from the esti-
mated crop, plus the estimated carry
over of the previous year, we have
the carryover to the next year, which
is roughly checked by adding the
visible supply figures to the farm
reserves and to the invisible supply,
which consists of the stocks in
country elevators and second hands.
"Now, the visible supply figures
are fairly accurate, the invisible
supply is fair guess, but the farm
reserves are the worst of all, for
when it comes to telling what they
have on hand all farmers are liars.
That is what broke Joe Letter when
he tried to corner the market in 1898
The figures showed, for example, that
in Ohio the wheat reserve consisted
of only 100000 bushels, but when
wheat go up around $3.50 and the
farmers began sweep their bins
in earnest, they brought out 8,000,-
900 bushels from Ohio alone. Take
the Patten deal in 1908. For six
weeks we got no soft winter wheat
at all, but somehow there was wheat
enough to go around until the new
crop came in. You never can tell
what these farmers have. l myself
have bought wheat in Ohio that was
three years old. Do you suppose for
a moment that the farmers would al
low Congress to place an embargo on
wheat after they have been saving it
up for time like this? There isn't
a Representative from rural dist
rict bold enough to even hint at such
a thing.
Now, as to price. What is the
normal value of wheat? Let US say
a dollar. Well, wheat has had an
advance IS 9Oc, or 80 per cent. But

covers her feet with a thin-soled,

beautiful feet, wore sandles. A
celebrated chiropodist recently stated
that the footwear of today was a
great source of revenue to her pro-
fession. The undertaken could make
the same statement in discussing the

swathing the throat in furs, but as

WHEAT ENOUGH UNTIL NEXT
CROP, FLOUR DEALER SAYS
Wilson P. Tanner Says Embargo to
Keep Us from Starvation Is Un-
necessary.

New York, Nov. 2O.-From the
standpoint of actual supplies there
will be wheat enough to supply the
country's needs until the new crop,
and no embargo will be necessary to
keep US from starving. This was the
optimistic statement of Wilson P.
Tanner, of No. Is Beaver street,
flour dealer and exporter and men,
Der of the New YorkProduce EX-
change. Mr.. Tanner, who is a serg-
cant in the Seventh regiment and
passed three months at the border,
has been back long enough to re-
sumo personal direction of his bust
ness and to obtain full grasp Of the
entire situation. In a talk l had
with him yesterday afternoon he said
II am afraid there is a good deal
of hysteria over the wheat situation
on the part of the general public,
and especially as regards the possible
shortage of supplies. Statistically,
we are going to run short of wheat,
but actually l have not the slightest
fear. Wheat may go higher in price,
but if it does reach So there will be
lots more wheat come out than you
have any idea of and it may be nee
essary to revise the statistics.
ALLOWING for all our exports and
domestic requirements, the worst that
is likely to happen is that we shall
go into the next crop with no carry
over or surplus of any kind except
