TENTATIVE VICTORY
OF LUMBER SHIPPERS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 20.-Lumber
shippers of northern Arizona have
scored at least a temporary victory
in the fight with Pacific Coast job
bers for the big lumber trade of
southern Arizona, according to an
opinion which has just been received
by the corporation commission from
the interstate commerce commission.
The state commission over a year ago
fixed rates from Flagstaff and Will
liams on lumber and timber to the
southern part Of the state. Com
plant was then brought by a Los
Angeles firm against the Southern Pa
cific, alleging that it's rates were
discriminatory, and unjust The in
terstate commerce commission finds
that while the rates are apparently
discriminatory, there was not suffi-
cient evidence to warrant an order.
Timber for mining operations amount
ing to between seventy and eighty
million feet is used annually by the
mines of southern Arizona.

PLAN To DEVELOP
BIC SALT MINES
WEAR ARIZONA LINE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 2O.-F'or the
purpose of organizing a company to
develop a new salt field near Cadiz.
in San Bernardino county, California
T. J. O'Kelly, railroad man from
Needles, was in Phoenix this week.
Associated with Mr.. O'Kelly are
William Umbenhower, o. G. VARY. O.
w Phipps, Thomas Isley, A. j. Estep,
E. c. Albrecht, A. J. Frede and w.
W. Thomas, all employees of the Santa
Fe at Needles. Mr.. Umbenhower is
to be president of the company.
Several years ago shipments of
rock salt, mixed with sand and suit
able only for stock, were made from
point a few miles from Cadiz. Um-
benhower, who is something of a
prospector, suspected that pure salt
might be found in that region. Re-
Gently he and O'Kelly started ont to
investigate A mile and a half south
of Cadiz station they drilled a nine
foot hole with posthole auger. At
four feet they struck clear water,
which was 25 per cent chloride of
sodium. There is a hard substance
at the bottom of the well which they
suspect is rock salt
small pump was placed in the
well, but it has. not lowered the
water. Apparently it is there in un-
limited quantities.
Umbenhower and O'Kelly located
about a section of land which, they
believe, includes practically all the
salt-impregnated ground They have
sent samples of their salt to various
chemists and heavy users of that
mineral. One butcher in Gallup, N.
M, has promised to use two carloads
a month as soon as the company is
operating. He pays SO ton for in
ferior salt at Hutchinson, Kansas,
and pays $40 ton freight. The
freight from Cadiz to Gallup is only
$5 ton.

MACHINERY ARRIVES
FOR OATMAV MINES

OATMAN, Ariz., Jan. 20-Approxi-
mately $4,000 tons of machinery for
the new mill of. the United Eastern
Mining company has arrived at King
man and is now being transported to
Oatman. The consignment includes a
new and powerful 15O-h.p. double drum
electric hoist and 1000 Gu. it. COM
pressor, to be installed in the new
shaft. They will be brought to Oat-
man at the earliest possible moment.
Much progress is being made in
sinking the shaft on the Oatman Com
bination property. Work is being
pushed on the Cash Entry group of
claims, but it is planned to develop
the Blue Bird and Templar claims
between the Big Jim and Black Eagle.
New Machinery for operations on the
Blue Bird and Templar has been or
dered, and is expected to arrive any
day.

low cost. is. more general. Several
zinc mines are being worked remun-
eratively in this county and the
number is increasing under the inn
petus of development
The mining Of lead in Yavapal
county-the price for that mineral
being at this time the highest in
more than a decades being followed
with financial success and on an in
creasing scale. Several discoveries
of pay-deposits of molybdenite have
been reported of late and consider
able attention is being devoted to
further search for that mineral. A
short time ago ago r. T. Barton
opened a promising vein of vanadium
ore in the Constellation country
Specimens brought to Prescott show
vanadium in crystalized form and
are heavy with lead. Assays demon
strate the ore to carry as high as
65 ounces of silver, 63 per cent of
lead and some gold.
A cinnabar vein, rich with mercuric
sulphide, is being developed by Ross
Hall and McNary about five miles
beyond the Phelps-Dodge Copper camp
in the Copper Basin country Indi-
cations are very favorable for the de-
velopment of a profitable quicksilver
mine at that point.
Jerome Big Asset
At Jerome is located one of the
largest and. richest copper mines in
the world-the famous United Verde
mine. Purchased by former United
modest sum of $4,000, the property
has been developed to a point where
it is producing approximately $4,000
worth of copper per day. To further
emphasize the value and magnitude
of the United Verde mine the state
ment is made that Yavapai county
derives in taxes therefrom about
$500 annually, or approximately
$500 per day. The value of the
copper ore in sight in this most re-
markable mine runs into the billions.
Geological and meteorological condi-
tions indicate that the ore prevails
to the deepest point at which it will
be possible to mine it.
There are other copper deposits in
Yavapai county which hold ore yield
ing possibilities similar to the United
Verde By the foregoing it is not
to be understood that dozen or so
United Verde's in the chrysalis are
lying around loose waiting for some
body to stake them out, for mines
like the United Verde only outcrop
semi occasionally at the best. The
copper deposits Of Yavapai county do,
however, offer an exceptional oppor-
tunity- by the fact that copper ore is
being mined at a profit at various
points in Yavapai county,. and that
in certain 1ocalities-other than the
United Verdict is carrying as high
as 65 per cent copper.

Every good man and woman in the

you for steadfastly refusing to order
militia to shoot down hungry men and
helpless women and children, if you
will establish the fact that you
were asked to do so and steadfastly
refused. Have not those same good
men and women the right to ask
you why good and lawful men were
allowed to be numerically and in
humanity beaten and abused in this
same Clifton -Morenci district and
compelled to flee from their families
and homes and become refugees? Has
the state of Arizona no power under
your administration to protect it's
peaceable, law abiding citizens in
their lives and property? If not,
why not? Is not the refugee camp
at Duncan a greater reflection on
your administration than anything
your traducers in the state can say
or do? The only explanation of the
Duncan refugee camp that can ex-
plain to the satisfaction Of the good
people of Arizona will be for you as
governor to enforce the laws of the
state that every peaceable citizen of
Arizona will be protected in his life
and property and the right to earn his
bread by the sweat of his face, how
and where he pleases, so long as he
cheys the laws Of the state Such an
