THE MONTEZUMA |S MOVING ID
 THE FRONT
FLOTATION MILL GOING UP, NEW BUILDING ERECTED AND HEAVY PRODUCTION ASSURED
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Maturing of extensive plans by which the Montezuma Mining and Milling Company begins moving ahead at once was announced yester- day by ]. P. Waldron, president. The transition of the property from pros pect to productive stage results after six years of practical mine work, to authorize not only large outlay of capital, but likewise does deep devel- opment warrant what is TOW under way. A sawmill is running daily to provide lumber for l2 new and large buildings; a Notation mill is ordered, and part of the machinery has arrived, with which will be combined a Hunt ington with a gyratory crushcr, the plant treating daily fully 40 tons of ore, and a second mill of the above type, is also under consideration, and will be erected later. In the aggre- gate more than 1 40 feet of under ground development has been per formed. on the Bear claim alone, NIlllC OlllCl ZOlCS VI lhN SiOhp well prospected, and will support any sized reduction works.
 Leading up to this important con sideration having been ratified and authorized by the board O. directors, Mir. Waidron stated yesterday that the consummation of the reduction movement is due to the favorable re- port made short time ago by O. H. Buckley, Colorado Springs hota- ton expert. He had made several tests of ores to be treated, and en- dorsed that method for tGe Monte zuma product. Buckley erected the large Notation works for a Morenci. Arizona, company, as well was he master mechanic of the Golden Cycle Notation mill at Colorado Springs, one of the largest in the country. Mir. Waldron also stated that a modern camp is being established. The build- ings will be hrst-class in construction and furnishings, with ample accommo- dations for a large number of people.
 From the main standpoint he also stated that there is an orc content that will wully warrant any sized re- duction plant, and values are sec ondary matter only. He sampled re- gently section of one opening made from which returns of S60 in gold were received in four-foot vein, that also carried other bimetals.
 He concluded by saying: "l have quietly and practically, with few associates operated that group for over six years, and the opportunity has arrived at last for action to begin as outlined above. We will now be- gin to take out instead Of putting in capital. and of the outcome have no doubts whatever"

puncher has ever been able to ride him.
 They had him on the Gaca Grant at one time. But he never could stand to be inside fence with a hu- man being even when the field cor. tained several hundred square miles. So he went through a hve-wire fence like circus rider through a paper hoop. That was the last that they heard cf the Rat Tail' for some time. He has again drifted into the neighborhood. Every effort will be employed to capture him. Webb in sists that if the Frontier Days com mittee is able to find man who can ride this beast without pulling leath- er," that the man will deserve two dia- mond medals.

MINER SELLS
 GROUP OF COPPERS (From Saturdays Daily)

Arrivals yesterday from Stodiard reported that John Patten had closed a bonding deal for his copper hold ings in that belt. in which the consid- eration was S18,0O0, with a first cash payment to be made later. The new operators have taken charge, and will place machinery on the ground to begin deep sinking. This deal is due to the property being located on wha. is said to be the Blue Bell condition, situated a few miles south. Pattep had been operating his group single handed for nearly 20 years.

EXPERT JUDGE
 CHOSEN FOR STATE FAIR
(From Saturdays Daily)

The secretary of the State Far commission is in receipt of a letter from II. c. Van Pelt, of Waterloo Iowa, accepting the offer extended him by the far commission to act a- judge of the cattle department at the State fair this Fall. Mir. Van Pelt is editor of kimbalrs Dairy Farmer, one Of the largest of the National Dairy magazines. and IS a recognized authority on dairy cattle and one O. the most expert judges in the West His services are Ill great demand al the various livestock shows, and he comes to Arizona direct from the Louisiana State fair arriving in Phoe- nix. November 18th. the opening day of the fair.
 Van Pelt judged the cattle at the 1914 State fair giving great satisfac- ton, and the notice of his acceptance of the position of judge will be re ceived with pleasure by the dairymcu of the State.
 In speaking of the cattle show a. the 1914 State fair Mir Van Pelt said:
 The exhibit of dairy cattle was cs- pccially meritorious. Nearly 100 head of Holsteins were shown. The Jcr- seys were close second. there being approximately 75 head Of these cattle exhibited. and an excellent lot of black and white or Dutch Belted cat fle and few are the fairs west of the Mississippi river that show as strong an exhibition of Ayrchire cattle, there being 40 animals of this breed.
 The Short Horn and Hereford cx- hibits of beef cattle were almost lip to the standard set by the dairy breeds, and in conclusion were one tc make a recommendation 1t would be that the various Breed Associations should not overlook the vast import ance of encouraging the livestock in- dustry of Arizona. They should stretch their fair appropriations so as to assist those who arc pcrpetuatin9 and building up the great livestock industry of this State.
 Any State fair would have been proud and boastful of this exhibit. Although in every instance the indi- vidual exhibits were in excellent con dition, their appearance could have been improved by grooming and blanketing. 1 am informed, that with very few exceptions the cattle were

brought direct from their alfalfa pas ture and have received no grain or feed other than hay and pasturase during their lives, or since they had been brought to the State.
 This illustrates the ease with which cattle are raised in Arizona, and the profit which much necessarily accrue, for the farmers raise alfalfa, hay and silage in abundance, and judiciousiy convert these crops into choice, well bred dairy animals. which in turn, take the available foodstuffs and us ing them as raw material, manufac- ture milk, from which butter, tine most concentrated product for trans portation is made"

with her allies. to control the destinies of
Serbia. She must be able to dictate the
policy of Rumania, because the Rumanian
position would offer too good road for
Russian attack upon Bulgaria and Tur-
kew. She must maintain Osmanli rule
in Constantinople. But to hold Serbia
and preserve the integrity of Turkey seem
small tasks to the Germans and little to
insist upon in any peace negotiation.
We have here the real key to the pres
ent situation in Europe. We have Ger
many, still holding much of France and
most Of Belgium, ready TO give these over,
ready to concede that her colonies are lost,
provided she is permitted to decide the
future of Serbia, eliminate Allied infiu-
cnce at Bucharest and obtain for the Turk
a new lease at the Golden Horn. II Ger
many, in addition, insists upon the liberia
ton of Poland, it is really only further
insurance against Russia, and is not an
essential detail in her scheme Of things
IN her Middle European plan.
The Meaning to the Allies
But what must Allied policy be in the
face of this programme? For Russia the
German Middle Europe means a perma-
nent barrier to her march to warm water,
both in the Baltic and in the Black Sea.
II means that the Slav giant will be bound
hand and foot by the alliance dominated
ty Germany. 1t means the loss Of Poland,
-abdication as the champion Of the Slav
nationality, remuneration Of the racial and
religious gospel of Pan-Slavism.
For Great Britain it means the imme-
date peril German proximity will have
for Egypt and for India; it means the
perpetuation Of threat to the unity and
safety Of the British Empire, whose Heel
of Achilles" as the Germans have said so
often, is at Suez. And for Britain, Rus.
sra, France and Italy it means new
peril, incident TO the possession by the
Germans of the machinery and titular
head of Islam, the menace Of agitation
and revolt among their millions of Ma
hometan subjects in Africa and India.
For Italy the menace is not less clear.
Unless Italy can take the Trentino, her
own house is unsafe. for the main door to
the north will be in hostile hands, and as

colonization or German administration.
But Austria, torn by the conflicting racial
problems, will naturally fall under Ger
man direction when the war is over. The
German populations will gravitate natu-
rally to the central German group; the
Slav populations can only be kept in order
by a strong German hand. AS for Hun
gary. here there will be an alliance; but
the perils that threaten Hungary, the
Croat on the west, the Rumanian on the
east, the Serb on the south-these will
give shape to Hungarian policy and make
for German Magyar cooperation.
Still to the south, Serbia will have to be
dealt with sumarily. But in the Ger
man mind there survives the recollection
that when the Obrenoviches ruled in Bel
grade Serb policy was of Austrian max
ing. Hence the determination TO Danish
the Karageorgevitches, with their Rus
sian leanings, and this done, there can be
erected an autonomous Serbia, preferably
under German prince. Such dynasty
will naturally look TO Berlin for leading
and its protection.
The Bridge to the East
Greece and Bulgaria are simpler prob
lens if only the Allies are finally re-
moved from the Balkans. In both states
the sovereigns are pro-German; in one
the ruling politicians are pro-German; in
the other there is a strong Teutonic party.
In the Middle Europe scheme Salonca
plays All important part commercially.
But as the port Of the Central European
states upon the Egean it would become
second Hamburg, and its prosperity
would soon reconcile Greek opponents,
while Greek fleets and Greek commercial
classes would become rich again as the
partners of the Germans.
Looking now TO Turkey, European and
Asiatic, Germany sees the bridge TO the
East. Descending by the road of Alexan-
der the Great through Asia Minor, organ
izing an empire as she advances, Germany
hopes 10 reach the frontiers of Egypt and
Of India. Her genius for organization
insures her success in Turkey, in Asiatic
Turkey, where the potential wealth of the
country rivals anything in the colonial en-
pire of Britain. Her armies and her ad-
illustrators can hope TO achieve in Tur-

The New Dream OF
an Empire from the
Baltic to n e
PersianGulf Be-
vOndthe Reach
of Sea Power
Bv FRANK H. SlMONDS,
I,,bor Of The Great War" They Shall
Not Pass"

For something more than q year now
Germany has been held in the thrall Of a
,r,at idea. one Of the truly colossal con-
esntons which capture the mind and the
imagination Of the German people, who
arc still in something of the mood of
ylzabethan England and Napoleonic
France. This dream is the dream Of
Middle Europe an empire, a confedera-
.iop Of states, union Of independent
..a.es inside a single customs wall-the
evact terms Of the union remain underlined
that shall face the Baltic on the north,
he Persian Gulf on the south and extend
from the Marshes of Pinsk to the Ar
DENIES.
This conception finds itself expressed
ysriously and has only recently begun to
find notice in America and England. It is
mt the conception that was in the German
mind when the war began. Then Germany
eypected a swift and sudden victory, like
70 that she won over France in 1870, over
Austria in 1866. Such victory would
have permanently decisive effects; it would
leave Germany the master Of the Cont
nent and ready to begin the wrestle with
Britain for sea mastery.
In German Hands To-day
This hope died at the Marine, in Elan
ders, and Verdun was its winding sheet,
The Germans recognized, some of the
leaders early, most Of them ultimately,
that France would not be destroyed by
he war, that Britain was beyond German
reach. They recognized that the hope Of
a permanent occupation of Belgium was
vain. We have had Hollweg's
testimony to this recently. In a word,
Germany recognized as early as the Yer
duh defeat, probably earlier, that she was
rot TO win world power at a single thrust.
o. the other hand, if Germany had
failed to get the real decision, if the abso-
ute victory had escaped her, she had won
much. and out Of what she had won IT.
was possible to create something which
would be in measure commensurate with
German sacrifices, il not with original
hopes.
If one looks at the map it will be seen
that the German Empire Of the present
hour. together with the territories OF her
allies and those territories she has taken
from her foes, forms a solid block OF
land eoinr from the Baltic to the Adriatc
and the Egean and constituting the heart
Of the European Continent. To the Ger
man conception the regions conquered IN
France and Belgium are Of but minor i'm
portance; they are not essential to the
main idea and can be sacrificed TO the
main idea.
But, if the main idea is TO be realized,
then Germany. Austria Hungary, Bull
garia, European Turkey, Greece and Al
bania must be united in some fashion and
70 this central core must be added Poland,
TO round out the eastern frontier And OF
all this territory only small section OF
Albania and Greece is not now under
the control Of the armies of Germany and
her allies. And the German military
command is the commanding and driving
force in all this vast empire as com
pletely as was the Napoleonic mind in the
First Empire.

Beyond Reach Of Sea Power

Now, quite crudely put, this is the GEN.
trail thought of the present German
conception. 1t does not aim at imme-
date absorption by Germany of Austria,
OF Hungary, Of Bulgaria. But it does aim
at the creation by common interest and
under German guidance of great block
Of states, which shall be beyond the reach
of sea power, which shall have some form
of common policy and unity, a strength
beyond the destructive power of the ma
tons which the Germans realize will not
lmprobably remain hostile in spirit and
purpose, particularly in the case Of Russia
and Britain, after the war.
To begin such decorating policy Ger
many needs now only peace and the pos
session of relatively small areas Of con-
GU cred territory. She must be permitted,
