PRODUCTION INCREASES

Record breaking production Of
8OO6,843 pounds Of copper in
March by the Ray Consolidated Cop
per company shows new possibilities
for earnings this ear.
The March production compares
with 7,767,663 pounds in January
and 7,117,S9S pounds in February,
and makes the total production for
the first quarter of the year, 22,952,
404 pounds
Allowing for the increased produc-
tlon that is made possible by warmer
weather, it is indicated that Raw
Consolidated should, this year, pro-
duce close to 1000, 900 pounds of
copper, on which, based upon its
costs OF last year, it should show a
profit of between $4,000 900 and
$4,000, 1000, as compared with more
than $12,00O,OOO in 1916.

THE TIME TO GET BUSY.

The caterpillar that has been
leveling the Fuller ranch will be
through very soon. Before the
driver gets away and the machine
begins to go to rust, Parker must
secure its services to make boule-
wards out OF California and Arizona
avenues, from end to end. AS it
stands, we're open to the charge of
letting weeds grow in our streets,
and that's not good business.
Now is our chance. The Chamber
Of Commerce can easily arrange with
superintendent Holiday. The great
Fuller company will doubtless donate
the use of the machine, leaving us to
pay only the expense of running,
which, according to Director Brown,
who approves, will be about SIS per
day. Those men will do the work
in two days.
Shall we translate some of our
good instinct into action? Shall we
begin to send out the word, Parker
is different?" Shall we do something?
If President Spence is absent, the
attention of Vice-President Little
field is hereby earnestly called to
this opportunity.

THE BASEBALL GAME

Another game of baseball was
played last Sunday on the Parker
diamond between the Parker boys
and the Indian School team. 1t was
a great game. 1t was the game of
the season. The Parker lads had re-
celved their new uniforms and wore
them for the first time on this
occasion. They presented a very
trim appearance like a "ribambelle"
or French soldiers "a l'exercice."
But some one said there must have
been Jonah in the bushes--if it
wasn't the uniforms-for the tally
sheet showed at the close Of the game
that the town lads were beaten by
score of Is to 6-and figures don't
lie
An 'Old Mems Ball Club" has
been organized in Parker with "Old
MAN. Woodruff and his whiskers as
captain. This club, it is said. in
tended to challenge the Parker team,
but after Sundays game they con-
cluded to cross bats with the Indians
instead, declaring that the other
team was too easy.

A CONTRARY CRAFT,

Three men from Denver, Colorado,
Ken Shaffer, H. S. Phillips and Allen
X. Savage, arrived in Parker q snort
time ago with the intention of pros
pect1ng the country up along the
river between here and Needles, AMI
to this end employed J. y. Norman
70 build them a three-h. D. motor
boat. Tuesday last the boat was
completed agreeable to plans and
specifications, the craft launched
and the three men piled in for a
trial trip They reached the middle
OF the stream all right though when
they headed upstream the boat had
its own notion in the premises and
positively refused to go that way.
but gleefully went downstream at
tWo-fOrty clip, and the men were in
a bad predicament. The captain of
the river boat, Arizona, who hap
pened to be on deck, turned his craft
about and at once started in pursuit.
Reaching the runaway boat he ''hoye
to- got out a lariet and tried to lasso
it, but succeeded in catching one of
the men by the leg. The captain held
on, however, and although the fellow
was hauled out of the boat and rart-
ly into the water, he held on with
grip Of desperation until the rome
could be secured in a more stable |
place and the boat hauled in.
Those men will have to swap their
down-river boat for an up-river one

DIAMOND DRILL
A DEVELOPER
WITH THIS WONDERFUL MA
CHINE MINERAL DEPOSITS CAN
BE LOCATED WITH ALMOST
UNERRING CERTAINTY.

Diamond drilling is largely respon
s'ble for the development of some of
the largest copper deposits being
mined today, says the Wall Street
Journal
1T has in in many cases proven
correct the keen judgment and fore
sight of mine managers and convinc-
ed their companies that a wonderful
copper deposit actually contained the
valuable ore that his technical
knowledge, experience and judgment
caused him to believe existed. and
vice versa, where it proved that val
liable deposits OF ore did no. exist
where surface indications were fa-
vorable.
Although resorted to for many
purposes the greatest field OF opera
ton for diamond drilling is explor-
ing mineral lands, locating ore veins
and ore deposits. When conducted
by specialists and expert crews it is
the most economical and satisfactory
method Of prospecting.
The drilling and cuttin is done by
rotating, hollow drill bit or tube in
which are usually set eight pieces of
carbon at the face, or end, four car
bons slightly protruding from the in
side of the bit, and four slightly
protruding from the outside surface.
The carbon used is one of the hard
est. known substances, being harder
even than the "brilliant" or crystal
lized diamond. 1t is found in one or
two small districts in Brazil and in
late years has advanced in value un-
til now it is one Of the principal items
or cost in drilling operations. AS the
carbon varies greatly in size and
quality it makes the selection OF per
feet stones very difficult.
Diamond drilling with reference 10
mining produces a core of the forma-
tion drilled which can be assayed to
determine the nature of the ground.
Drillers explore the most remote dis
tricts, moving their outfits by primi-
tive methods, and as a result of their
exploration thriving villages and cit
les and industrial plants grow up.

The CALL Of
THE RED CROSS
NOBLE WOMEN OF PARKER Or
CAME AND MAKE EARNEST
APPEAL FOR AID IN RELIEF
WORK-DESIRE PROMPTNESS.
(By A. w. Atherton.) }

The presence of a woman like Mrs
Dunbar in a community is an asset
OF value inestimable. Her presence
in Phoenix as Parker's Red Cross
delegate to the great convention
there, as matter of pure publicity,
was worth to us more than we are
likely to pay her for some time to
come. She makes people sit up and
pay attention. Indeed her trip has
brought immediate returns. The
National Delegate himself is coming
here. If we treat him right-and
we will-he'll use us for a sample of
what little folks can do, telling about
Parker wherever he goes. That's
what we want him to do.
And now | am talking to you, men
OF Parker. Every man Jack of you
take the cotton out of your ears and
listen. Do you get that?
You and I can't do much, perhaps,
to help in the great work for the up
lift of humanity now going on in the
world; but we can help these white
souled women do their part, which
maybe is best of all. Believe me.
there is no fake or graft about this
Red Cross. It's a government relief
measure, calling for volunteers. II
we can't go to the firing line our
selves, we can send the nurses and
the doctors there. II our women
must stay at home, to weep and
work for their men-folks at the front,
we can at least furnish them the
materials to work with.
Boys, you work hard for your
money, as ! do Yet | want each
and every one Of you to dig up a
dollar and give it to Mrs. Dunbar, or
to Mrs. DR.. Pruett, or to Mrs. Duclos,
or to the treasurer at the bank, for
membership in this Red Cross.
These are royal women, one and all,
boys, doing royal work They
have called on us. Respond! You'll
never get as much satisfaction out
OF dollar in your life as you will
when you put it there. If you want
that good feeling way down inside,
dig up! Do it NOW!

60, AND 90 NOW.

Governor Campbell has issued the
the following letter, addressed to all
the citizens Of Arizona:
To-day we face the necessity of
raising our First Arizona Infantry
regiment to war strength either by
voluntary enlistment or by the draft
Voluntary enlistment is a credit to
the man who gives his services and
Arizona can not be more highly
hOnOred than by having her young
men voluntarily bring their organi-
zation to full strength.
From the older men, the mothers
and sisters, facing as they do the
necessity of loved ones absent in the
service Of their country, | ask aid
and cooperation In the hands of
all the people of this state is Ari-
zona's answer to the call of our
country and president. Delay means
the draft, with no choice of service
for the young men who go:
America has entered this war on
the side of liberty and humanity
Honoring the memory of those who
fought for those principles in the
Revolution, who first established
liberty and humanity as the basis of
our government, it is fitting that the
newest state to enter the Union
should be the first to raise it's quota
to defend those principles.
1T is the duty of every man,
woman and child in Arizona to urge
enlistment of those liable for service
until the required number represents
Arizona at the front, that Arizona's
record may be an example to all the
states. | ask the aid of every loyal
citizen of Arizona in urging that
men who are liable for service vol
unteer NOW and take their places
as members of our First Arizona In
fantry. To the young men who are
of the prescribed age l would say:
Go, and go now

POStmaSters are in receipt Of COM
munication from G. Rooms, first as

this district.

TREASONABLE PROFITS.

There are two big factors in our
food problem. One is production
The other is control. 1t will do lit
tie good to speed up production un-
less we keep down prices
Nearly all the efforts of the gov
ernment and the public thus far has
been devoted to the one purpose of
raising more foodstuffs. And while
this patriotic activity has been going
on, with excellent results, there has
been counter move Oh the part of
spectators, middlemen and trades
men to boost prices. Unless that
move is effectively checked, consum-
ers will lose all the benefit of bigger
crops, and the nation as a whole
will forfeit the reward of it's labors
to small class of sordid and un-
patriotic citizens.
The federal government, inquiring
into the food prices now prevailing
in our big cities, has announced
prices of the many products demand
ed Of the consumer at this time
The propaganda for more food has
been capitalized by spectators and
dealers for their own purposes.
They are taking exorbitant profits
now on the basis of a theoretical
scarcity in the future. And if they
are not curbed, they will do likewise
with the new seasons crops, no
matter how large an increase there
may be.
Whether we have much food or
little, there is no excuse whatever
in this bitter war time for exorbi-
tant prices. The man who tries to
squeeze undue profit out of the food
that passes through his hands is a
traitor.
The public must have a square
deal. If the extortion doesn't stop,
Well have to have price-fixing by
the government-Yum Sun.

A REAL SKIN GAME.

}. M. Wilson, a Calzona store
keeper, came to Parker Saturday for
much-needed surgical repairs, his
face having been battered up in a
frightful manner at the hands of an
individual named Henderson, so he
says. The trouble came about, ac-
cording to his story, as a result of
the theft of ten cases of whiskey
from the railroad depot 1t appears
that this whiskey was placed in the
depot consigned to Henderson, and
that Wilson had been given the kew
to the storage room during the tenn
pOrary absence Of the agent Dur
ing the night the lock to the room
was broken and the booze stolen,
Wilson told Henderson of the theft
and also whom he suspected the
thieves were, but the latter had
'sort'r biased" opinion that the
agent pro tenn was in 'cahoots'' with
the marauders and demanded that he
(Wllson) pay for the stolen stuff,
the amount being something over
500. Wilson refused to "pungle
up" and Henderson declared he
would take it out OF his hide"
Meeting Wilson at Vidal Friday,
Henderson renewed his demand but
meeting with no better success, pro-
ceeded to make good his previous
threat, and the skin game COM
