Wheat-After an unexpectedly firm
opening, due to a feeling of relief that
the number OF boats lost over the holt
day had been smaller, prices sold Oft
sharply and at the close were S4c 70
IL c net lower. There were persistent
rumors that transatlantic shipments
will be better protected in the future
and that exports consequently VIII in
crease. Most of the vessels loading.
however. are those owned by the Allied
governments. while neutral boats are,
for the most part, being held in port.
At the same time, grain is coming
through from the West slowly. and
this is delaying loading.
One of the features yesterday which
caused part Of the selling, at least, was
a revival Of the embargo talk which
has been brought about by the appar-
cnt inability on the part OF the rail-
roads to move wheat and -four from the
interior 10 the seahoard. Some author
tiles believe that there is n danger OF
an actual shortage in supplies for do
nestle use at seaboard ports. and the
railroads can give little assurance Of
any improvement in conditions.
The weather over the West vas
warmer and was looked upon as more
favorable for the growing crop. The
domestic visible supply showed a de-
crease for the week Of $4,000 bushels,
compared with n decrease $4,000 last
year. The worlds shipments for the
week were S,6s7,000 bushels. against
1I.lI5,000 last week and 12,557.00O n

OWNER OF '6S MINE is
VISITOR IN KINGMAN
tFrom Thur.day,s p.iIy aliner.l

Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Beadle and
daughter, Mrs. C. E. Rowland, of San
Francisco arrived in Kingman last
evening, after a visit to the Grand
Canyon. Mr.. Beadle is the owner Of
the old '6S mine, which was patented
some years ago under the name of the
Seventy-eight.
1t was one of the original silver
producing mines of the county, having
an estimated production of s500,000.
The mine was opened up by a system
of tunnels, although shaft was sunk
to depth of 100 feet below the portal
of the lower tunnel level. Only kid
neys of rich ore were disclosed, the
drift advanced from it evidently not
having been driven far enough to
reach the shoot opened up in the levels
above. The mine is an excellent pros
pect for leasers if it could be had on
long time.

SANTEL LOSES ON
MAT TO STECHER

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-Joe
Stecher of Nebraska defeated Ad San
tel, Pacific coast champion, for the
heavyweight wrestling championship
here today in two straight falls.
Stecher got his second fall in II
minutes and "a seconds with a double
wrist lock. The first fall was won by
Stecher in 38 minutes and II seconds
and was obtained withsa body scissors
and a double wrist lock.
The attendance at the match was
about $4,000 The gate receipts total
ed s12,643. Of this 30 per cent went
to Stecher and 80 per cent to Santel.
Stecher's percentage was cut down
because he insisted on a guarantee Of
$2,500. In addition to his percentage
Stecher received transportation ex-
penses for himself and three others
from Omaha and return.

JUDGE ELLIS MADE
MANY FRIENDS IN
YUMA WHILE HERE

Judge ]. A. Ellis, who yesterday
finished his services here on the bench
for Judge Baxter and started home
to Kingman last night left many
friends in Yuma. He is one of the
youngest men on the bench in Arizona
and, according to attorneys, one of
the ablest jurists in the state. He has
a most remarkable faculty of grasping
situations and handling them with a
precision that at once captivates and
impresses lawyers at the bar and ap-
peals to laymen. In the delivery Of
instructions to juries he has no peer
in the state, so say attorneys who have
noticed his procedure. Mostly from
memory, he dictates his instructions
to the court reporter promptly after
the case has progressed to that point,
and he never fails to cover the small
est detail of the issues involved. One
Of the leading attorneys at the Yuma
bar said yesterday: Judge Ellis is
marvel, and his future has no limit
as to achievement in his profession.
Another thing that came to the no
tice Of the writer is that he is a self
made man. When he came here. H. H.
Baker, himself a lawyer, now chief
deputy sheriff, vaguely recognized him
as a person he had formerly known.
Judge Ellis also recognized Mr.. Ba-
ker in the same uncertain manner.
But neither approached the other at
once. Finally, however, they did, and
found that they had attended the same
law school some years ago, the Wash
ington university in st. Louis. Judge
Ellis graduated there in 1910, the first
year Mr.. Baker was in the institution.
Mr.. Baker said Judge Ellis stood third
in his class and that when he took
the bar examination in 1912 he made
an average of 96 per cent, the best
ever made in the state up to that time
Mr.. Baker said the Judge was a far
mer, hard working young man, "who
went down the corn row with a book
on the cultivator storing his mind for
the profession he had selected as a vo-
cation, while he titled the soil and
wrought for the material welfare Of
mankind and his own livelihood"

ORGANIZATION OF
KNIGHTS Of PYTHIAS
IS CELEBRATED HERE
TFrom Friday,s Daily Minerl

The local lodge of Knights of Py-
thias gave a smoker and banquet on
Tuesday evening in celebration of the
anniversary of the founding of the
order and, incidentally, the organiza-
tion of its insurance department.
The spread was most enjoyable, ev-
erything supplied having come from
the home kitchen. The members feast
ed until they could have rightly claim
ed that they were "too full for utter
ence," but, despite the fact that ap-
petites were more than appeased,
nearly every member and visitor pres
ent responded literally with words of
praise of the lodge and all of its
branches. 1t was nearly midnight
when the banqueters dispersed.
The Knights of Pythias was organ
lied February 10, 1864, in Washing
ton, D. c., by Justus Henry RathbOne,
with an initial membership of Is. An
idea of the great growth of the order
nay be gained from the fact that
lodges throughout the United States
now number between 1000 and 5000,
with an aggregate membership of
725,0OO.
The insurance department of the
order was created 40 years ago. That
it has been a success is shown by the
fact that millions of dollars have been
paid out to families of deceased mem
bers and placed in the reserve fund
of the supreme lodge. The Knights
of Pythias is a benevolent order, made
up of men who wait not for the cry
of the afflicted, but go forth in search
of the brother in need, which largely
accounts for its remarkable growth
from a small beginning.

PRESIDENT IS
SAID To FAVOR
ARMY TRAINING

WASHINGTON, Feb. Percent
indications that the administration has
determined to indorse the broad prin-
ciple of general military training were
strengthened today when Secretary
Baker announced after a conference
with President Wilson that universal
training bill, drawn up by the army
general staff and war college experts,
would be sent to congress later this
week.
1t is understood, however, that
neither the president nor secretary
Baker is ready to advocate the adop-
tion of the general staff bill or Of
any other particular measure.
Secretary Baker would not indicate
what recommendations, if any, will be
sent to congress with the general staff
bill. The senate military committee
already has reported a bill differing
in several respects from the one before
Secretary Baker, and it is expected
that when the annual army appropria-
ton bill comes before the senate ef-
forts will be made to attach a univer-
sal training provision.

The number of men employed in
Arizona mining and ore reduction is
approximately 10000. These men
draw in wages, S4O,OOO,OOO annually.
The valuation placed for taxation
purposes on mining property in 1915,
based on production, was $159, ,1O9,-
2S8.8O.
The total dividends paid by Arizona
copper producers to date equals more
than S225,OOOO,OoO while the profits
earned by small copper producers, of
which there is no complete record, is
estimated at S2O,OOO,OOO.
In view of the fact that practically
no attention was paid Arizona securi-
ties by the investing public a few
years ago, the foregoing record is all
the more remarkable.
At the present time, however, the
eyes of the financial world are focused
on this copper giant and the most
eminent mining men of the nation
have recently been drawn to the state,
and the capital of the leading financial
powers is now being rapidly poured
into the development of its untold
riches.
Extending across the state is one
Of the most phenomenal mineral belts
in the country. On it are many rich
mines. Practically every county in the
state is rich in mineral resources, but
Cochise county leads all others with a
copper production which is about dou-
bic that of any other single county in
the state.
Aside from the noted Copper Queen,
Calumet & Arizona and others equally
well known, an enormous amount of
money has been distributed in .divi-
dends by the new mines in the south
ern part of the state. Some of these
copper mines have recently taken their
places among the leading copper pro-
ducers of the world, and there are
others about ready to join them.
The list of copper stocks that have
increased in value and paid for them
selves almost a thousand-fold would
fill small volume.
Thousands of smaller investors, men
who lacked money to buy the S25.G0
stocks but who did invest in a few
shares of some good company that was
just opening up a mine, are making
fortunes from the junior coppers Of
Arizona.

OLD HACKBERRY MINE
OPERATORS ORGANIZE

DdAly
The blackberry Consolidated Mining
company, with James Murray of Butte
Montana, and G. S. Holmes and Char
les G. Greene of Los Angeles as in
corporators, has just perfected its or
ganization with a capitalization of
81, 100000. The company is operating
the old blackberry mine, as well as
large acreage of surrounding ground
in the blackberry country. Mr.. Muir
ray is reputed a millionaire who has
been identified with the growth of the
big Montana Copper camp, while
Messrs. Holmes and Greene are among
the best known mining men of the
coast.
The old blackberry properties are
again coming into their own, their big
ore bodies now being opened in many
places along the outcrop Of nearly
mile. The new shaft is in ore, and the
old shaft is again a producer. Ship
ments are to be made to the smelters
at once, the product being lead and
zinc, carrying very high values in sill
yer. It is probable that a large mil
ling plant will be erected on the prop
erty to make a separation Of the lead
and zinc.

SHOT
IN BOOZE RAID
RESTING EASY
From Fridays Daily Minerl

CHLORIDE, Feb. 17.-Deputy
Sheriff John Brown and Constable
Robert Roe raided alleged bootleg
joints here last night, capturing what
are said to be two of the most per-
sistent lawbreakers in the camp. One
of the persons apprehended is an Ita-
lian, whose name has not yet been
learned. The other is the keeper of
an Italian boarding house named Mrs.
Notella.
While the officers were searching
the house of the unknown Italian he
made a break for liberty, dashing
through the door of his cabin into the
darkness. Deputy Sheriff Brown,
thinking to frighten him into stopping,
shot in the direction of the retreating
fugitive, the bullet striking the fee
ing Italian in his right foot and pass
ing through it and the calf of the leg.
He was placed in DR.. Shadrach's hos
pital, where he is resting easily.
The officers have determined to rid
the town of the unlawful traffic, and
TO attain this end will show no favorit-
ism. Persons showing signs of liquor,
as well as persons caught with bottles
in their possession, will be prosecuted.

AJO COMPANY
ORGANIZED BY
KINGMAN MEN
LFrom Fridays Daily MinerI

LETOLu OAlly
One of the local corporations to be
organized this week is the New Cor
nelia West, which has a capitalization
of s., 100000 of $5 shares. ]. H. Baw-
den and w. B. Robinson are the cor
porators. J. E. Jerry is president,
George Sayers is vice president and
]. S. Amundsen is secretary and trea-
surer.
The company will operate the Say
ers property at Ajo, which has been
taken over by it. The property ad-
joins the New Cornelia of the Calumet
and Arizona company, which is said
to have the largest reserves of ore of
any mine in the world. The ore of
the New Cornelia West is similar to
that of the big company properties
and it is to be expected that churn
drilling will also expose large ton
mage of ore in its ground.
Some prospecting has been done on
the new company's ground and good
ore has been exposed. It is only nee
essary to continue the development
work by drilling to ascertain just
what is really in the ground, and big
things are expected when the first
drill hole is completed. Many local
people have invested in the company
and large blocks of the stock will be
taken over by the big interests when
it is offered for sale.

GEOLOGICAL STUDY
OF OATMAN DISTRICT
TO BEGIN IN FALL

Until Typographical maps can be
completed, it will be impossible to
make a geological study Of the Oatman
mining district Of Arizona. 1t had been
hoped to have these maps ready so
the geological work could be done this
winter. Unexpected difficulties in the
detailed work on the maps have come
up, however, and it will be necessary
to work until next fall for the geo
ogical study. Adolph Knopf, the ge-
Ologist who had been designated to do
the Oatman work, has been assigned
to a similar study Of the Rochester
district Of Nevada.

ARIZONA THE SUPREME
RED METAL PRODUCER

In 1907 Arizona forged ahead of
Montana as the greatest copper pro-
ducer. Since that time she has been
sending out greater and greater guam
titles of copper until at present she is
producing about 35 per cent of the cop
per mined in the United States.
The metal output from mines in
Arizona in 1916 had record total
value of nearly S2O3, 900 900 compared
with s9O,SO6,346 for 1915, according
to the estimate of Victor C. Heikes, of
the United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior. The nota-
bic output of copper and the high
prices of metals both assisted in this
increase of 123 per cent.
The predominant metal in Arizona
is copper, the mine output of which
surpassed all previous records and es-
Inmates, as it increased from 459 ,972,-
295 pounds in 1915 to approximately
693,OO0,OOO pounds in 1916. The value
0 fthe output, on account of the un-
usual market, increased from $780,
495,152 to nearly $190,O00,OOO. The
increase of 1876 per cent in the value
of copper alone in Arizona was there
fore more than the value of the total
output of the state in the previous
year. All the smelling plants of the
state were worked at full capacity and
made much greater shipments of cop
per bullion.
Associated with the red metal as
by-products are gold and silver, and as
4 result of the increased copper out
put the production of gold from cop
per ores in most counties was natur-
ally greater and increased from S4,-
166,025 in 1915 to approximately 81
$4,000 in 1916, an increase of over {
per cent.
The production of silver from the
mines increased from 5,649,020 ounces
in 1915 to a record output Of about
$685. 900 ounces in 1916. As the mar.
ket price was much higher the value
increased from $2,s64,O53 to nearly
81, ,490, 900, an increase of nearly 81
per cent in value. There was no great
change in the production from the
Commonwealth property, which il
principally silver producer, SO the in
crease is to be credited largely to the
remarkable output of copper ore.
