V|CKENBURG
IS On MINING
MAP Of STATE
by Ernest DouaIas)

WICKENBURG. Ariz., May 25.-
Wickenburg is by no means left out
Of this mining prosperity and optimism
that> pervades Arizona. The mining
districts tributary to this flourishing
camp are getting their share Of the
foreign capital that is pouring into the
Copper State. Large and important
| deals are closed every week, and every
deal means another active property. A
dozen properties are shipping from
Wickenhurg and dozens of other would
be producing it there was a custom
smelter here. Such smelter has long
been the dream Of Wickenburg and it
is stated on good authority that the
dream may soon come true.
One Of the recent big deals was the
purchase of John r. Dobler's Swallow
mine, Is miles northeast Of Wicken-
burg in the Castle Creek district. The
purchaser was j. p. Hutchinson, Of Ell
Paso who was formerly with the San
Toy Mining company. Hutchinson is
backed by powerful financial interests

mostly in gold, was taken from the
Swallow shaft alone The ore also
carries copper.
A 10-stamp mill, in good condition, is
on the Swallow group and may be op-
Grated soon. Machinery for Develop
ment is now being delivered.
Boston parties have purchased from
j. Zeisiger, of Cincinnati. the Eureka
group. adjoining Ezra w. Thayers
famous Monte Cristo mine on the
south. They expect to spend about
s200,oOo in developing the Eureka. The
ore carries copper and gold. with some
silver.
More than twenty men are steadily
employed at the Monte Cristo. Mr.
Thayer IS not given to talking for pub
lication about his property but it is no
secret that he has one Of the biggest
silver mines In the world. Now that
silver is up to Is cents an ounce ana
seems headed toward 81. it would not

THE FUTURE OF SILVER

AdSG week group OF mining men aQ-
vertised in number Of newspapers a
producing silver mine for sale at bar
gain. The advertisements appeared
only once. The mine was investigated
and sold almost overnight There is de-
mand for silver properties again such
as has not existed since the late eighties
and In this demand is another bright
forecast of increased prosperity fol
Arizona where silver mining has been
practically at standstill for years. In
a number of districts it is now probable
that primary silver mining will be re
sumed Immediately on large scale, as
result of the phenomenal rise of the
white metal; a rise which experts assert
will suffer no serious setback for years
to come. In reviewing silver's remark
able advance Zimmerman and For
shay Of New York have the following to
say regarding the present position OF
the metal and what the future has in
store for it:
Never in the memory of the oldest
handlers Of silver have conditions gov.
erning the supply and demand been 50
unique. The increase in demand is not
only for actual use, but for speculative
purposes, the rapid rise having tempted
investors in all parts Of the United
States to take flyer in the white meJal
and to hold on until within small frac-,
ton of the top, having protected them
selves by "stop" orders by which they
follow quotations.
It is becoming more apparent from
day to day that at the conclusion of the /
European trouble there must be some
adjustment Of finances, even probably
to the extent Of the creation Of a greater
limit at which silver will be taken as a
legal tender, as gold has practically dis
appeared from circulation, and the i'm
mense debt accruing through the war
being out of all proportion to any GOLD
reserves, new medium must neces-
sarily be created with but one recourse
silver.
The combined transportation of sill
yer in one week is hardly sufficient to
fill one mint order from any of the Euro,
pean countries. Russia is the only ex-
ception to all metals coming from our
port, as silver for their account is
shipped via San Francisco to the Japan
mints which are at the present time
coming for the Russian government.
The entire known stock in London is
less than 100000 ounces.
An embargo recently enacted by the
government of Mexico prohibits the ex-
portation of either gold. or silver and,
if rigidly enforced, will very materially
reduce the floating supply, as even with
the closing down Of several mines fair
estimate of 30,000,00O ounces per an
mum would not be much out of the way.
All the copper, lead and zinc mining
companies in the state are dr1vlng to
their capacity to take advantage of the
prevailing high prices and in conse-
quence delivering to the market much
increased supply OF silver which only
figures as by-product with them, but
helps somewhat to offset the shrinkage
from Mexico.
While we have enjoyed most per-
sistent and rapid rise in silver since the
Sherman law, there is no reason at the

ARTILLERY

The outstanding achievements of
modern artillery makers are the French
seventy y-fve-millimeter pieces, which
fire three-inch shells with amazing rap.
idity, and the great German portable
guns that throw sixteen-inch Shells ano
which can destroy the strongest forts.
While cannon have been used for many
centuries, artillery such as is being used
in Europe is Of recent origin.
The first cannon were the catapult
type and were used by the ancients for
hurting stones and arrows. Mention OF
such engines OF war is made III the Old
Testament and by numerous Latin his
torians. Apparently, this form of can
non was in use for some time after the
discovery Of gunpowder. It is thought
that the first cannon charged with pow
der were used by the Moors against
Saragossa, in 1118. The Moors contin-
ued to employ them in their various
wars; and the new weapon was used
against them with great effect when
Ferdinand ". captured Gibraltar. The
English probably first made use Of ex-
plosive cannon in 1927, when Edward
LII, used them against the Scots. The
first known instance Of their employ
ment by the French was in 1888, at the
siege of PuyGuillaume. In those early
guns only solid projectiles were used.
Explosive shells apparently were in
vented by the Turks in the early part OF
the sixteenth century.
1t was not until 1859 that rif1ed cam
non were used; this was in an Italian
campaign. Rifing was one of the most
, important advances ever made in ar
tillery construction. These early rifles
could shoot farther and straighter than
guns previously made, but they were
not so very formidable, as solid shot
continued to be used, even in our Civil
War In 1861 r. I. Gatling, of Indiana,
invented his famous gun. Soon after
came the French mitrailleuse, the
Hotchkiss gun and the large-diametel
rifles using high-explosive shells. Since
the beginning Of the present war so
many Improvements in artillery con-
struction have been made that, if re-
ports are true, some OF. the guns that
were in use at the beginning of hostilit-
les are now considered obsolete.
1t would be venturesome person
who would predict what the future
holds for artillery development Re
Gently, descriptions have been circu
lated Of a gun without barrel or ex-
plosive, which hurls projectiles by
means of an engine, by 'harnessed cen
trifugal motion" There is no fear of
lack of mechanical ingenuity IN devils
ing large and deadly guns. The impor-
tant thing is to find some means OF
avoiding the necessity of using them.
