MAKING MONEY OUT
OF FARM LOANS

The January Farm and Fireside
says editorially:
The passage of the Federal Farm
Loan law, and the work now in
progress preparatory to putting this
law into operation. has naturally led
some artful tricksters to try to put
across various schemes for the pur-
pose of making some easy money for
themselves.
zone such loan scheme is being
worked in several Rocky Mountain
states where the farming population
is sparse and neighbors far apart.
These unlawful loan promoters claim
to be working as agents to help intro
duce the new Farm Loan law. They
seek out farmers, tell plausible stories
and offer to furnish loan of $4,000
if the farmer will make an advance
payment of $50. but the contract must
be completed or rejected without any
delay Some of these sharpers prom
Used to have the funds ready for the
applicants by January l, 1917. The
secret service of the treasury depart
ment has already arrested several Of
these fake loan promoters and have
their eyes on others.
THE secretary of the Federal Farm
Loan board wants this caution broad
casted to farmers: Under no consid-
GRAFTON should farmers pay out any
money or give any notes to agents or
strangers purporting to be working in
the interests of the new Farm Loan

MARKET NEWS
BY r. Allyn Lewis

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-What prob
ably has hurt this market as much as
anything else is uncertainty and now
that the worst is known, a feeling of
relief has resulted. Shorts were badly
punished. Many people who had been
caught long of stocks and had big
losses in them have sold other stocks
as a hedge. This is noticeable in
United States steel Standard rails
have been sold. it is believed, from
German sources and as they had to be
sold quickly they had to be sacrificed.
The bargain hunter has come in, for
this is his opportunity.
From now on. we should have a more
stable market. Barring war, there is
no other shock that would be as great
as the ones that have been received,
and we doubt if that would be as much
of shock as people have thought in
the past
Business is practically suspended as
far as the copper market is concerned.
One seller says he has received bids
of 34Ac pound for February copper,
34c for March and 3212c for April, May,

The PARKER DISTRICT

The Parker mining district is sur
prisingly prolific OF large bodies OF
gold and copper ore, opened up in
large quantities by shafts and tunnels
in dozens of properties that have been
developed and partially developed
during the past twenty years.
Today the recognition that Parker
has so long deserved is bringing that
district rapidly into the vision of
mining men, investors and mining
capitalists who have been engaged
during the past few months in grab
bling many of the promising properties
equipping them and preparing for eX-
tensive development and heavy pro
duction
At the far eastern end of the dis
trict is located the Swanson smelter
and the properties of the Clara Con-
solidated Mining company From
this property, which today is pre-
Queer of several carloads of copper
and gold ore daily, proceeding north
and west are found the principal pro-

of about 100000 per month it is
stated that there is enough ore in
sight in the Clara TO last for twenty
five years, While the larger portion
of the ground is as yet undeVeloped
and the ore is coming from above

pears to be big blanket vein which
has been cross scout for distance of
500 feet without finding any walls

a number of working shafts from
which more or less drifting has been
done. but as will be seen the work
ings are not yet deep enough to de-
velop the tremendous ore bodies be-
loW the present workings which are
known to exist. The Clara Consoli-
dated undoubtedly has the makings
of a vastly bigger mine than at pres
ent has been shown up.
The swansea smelter, which has
a capacity for handling from $50 to
! geo tons of ore daily, has been idle
for some time for various financial
reasons and not from lack of ore,
but it is rumored that the smelter
will soon he put into operation again
either by the owners or lessees and
this will give a close al hand mar
ket for several thousand tons of ore.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-(Wall Street,
The stock markets response to the
breaking off OF relations with Germany
was a sudden uprush of prices, many
shares comprising the war class recov-
ering from early declines of two to five
points and finishing at net 81 ms of
three to ten points, while Bethlehem
Steel, heavy at the outset, closed at a
gain of thirty points.
To United States Steel more than any
ether speculative favorite was due the
buoyant rally of the latter part of the
brief session.
More than 100000 shares OF Steel
common changed hands. The maxi
mum of the day was 1045s and It's final
figure 104 a net gain of 3'S.
Other striking reversals from the
uncertainty and hesitation of the first

One OF the most important plans of
the Arizona State Bureau Of Mines is
to conduct a Legislative research bur
eau for laws relating to mining. both
state and federal, in conjunction with
the department of legislative research
of the University of Arizona.
Probably one of the greatest burdens
under which the mining industry rests
today is that of confusing and i'll ad
vised laws. This is particularly well
illustrated in our federal mining laws
which have been under fire now for
several years, and which should be in
vestigated by both state and govern
ment bureaus with a view To obtaining
more equitable legislation.
Another desirable point TO be con-
sidered in connection with a legisla-
tive research bureau is the securing
of uniform mining legislation through
the various mining states of the west
While it is not within the province
of the state bureau of mines to recon-
mend laws, it can conduct researches
on proposed legislation for both the
state legislature and congress.
