MODEL CLARK TOWN
PLAN|VED III yAvAPA|

A model town, patterned after w.
A Clark's town of Clarkdale, six miles
eastward is to be built adjoining the
townsite of Jerome, in Yavapai county.
The site is on a hogback, high upon
the mountain No surface rights will
be sold, but long-t term leases will be
granted. A number of residences and
business blocks will be built for rent.
Most of the United Verde Extension
copper mine viii be housed in the new
town. The Extension company will
build similar town at proposed new
smelter. the site of which has not yet
been selected. This. probably. will be
built south of Clarkdale, in the Verde
Valley. Southwark of Clarkdale, the
Verde Valley is intensively cultivated:
the products of the farmers are sold to
the inhabitants of Jerome and Clark
dale.
The United Verde Extension mine,
which will support the new town, has
been shipping twelve or fifteen cars of
ore daily, and still is holding up to that
production. The profits of the mine
are about 100000, monthly. The
magazine, Yavapai; published at Pres
colt, giving a glimpse of the mines

reported as stating that a crosscut on

NEW WEAVER MINING
DISTRICT ORGANIZED

About 40 property owners and resi-
dents of the country surrounding the
Mocking Bird mine, which y about
Is miles west of Chloride in >Mojave
county. have completed the organiza-
ton of the New Weaver mining dis
trict The declaration of the formation
of the new district was drawn up and
signatures attached to it, and as soon
as few of the other members can be
reached for the affixing of their sigma
lures the document will be placed on
record with the recorder of the coun-
ty. This action will complete it's
formation.
This district viii be composed of the
old districts, which have been known
as Weaver and Minnesota for the past
many years. A well travelled road in
very good condition of repair for all
of the fact that it has received little
or no attention, passes through the
heart of the district and continues to
the Eldorado Canyon Ferry, connect
ing with the railroad and highway at
Chloride
These men also have formed a New
Weaver Mining district association,
which win have for its especial pur-
pose the placing of the mines Of this
district before the public. Already a
publicity committee, which has been
selected has collected considerable
money for this purpose, and the indi-
cation is that this fund will be greatly
increased by further contributions by
persons interested.

PARKER RESERVATION
MAY SOON Be OPENED

Efforts are being put forth by peo-
pie of Parker to have the government
open to entry 10000 acres of the
Parker Indian reservation on the Colo
RADIO river. The outbreak Of the war
with Germany and the call for farmers
to increase production of the soil has
given the Parker people added induce
ment to proceed with their efforts to
get the government to act in their be-
half.
Recently the Parker chamber OF COM
merce passed resolution to congress
urging that the reservation be thrown
open Immediately. Frederick NJ. Hall
of Parker before the council of de-
Tense meeting at Phoenix recently
urged that similar action be taken by
that body. Hall said the land should
be made use of Immediately as it is
among the very best land in Arizona
and perfect for tilling. The matter by
the council was referred to DR.. Won
Klein Smid, chairman of the conserva-
ton and production committee, who
made a formal appeal to Washington.

sumption, river water being always
turbid.
1t is always at hand when wanted !;
losses are reduced to a minimum.
The question Of the disposition and
control of the enormous quantities of
the silt such as is deposited in the
canals and bitches of the Palo Verde
valley and in those of the Indian ser
vice on this reservation. is a problem
very hard to handle. In both of these
instances, also, the fields are being
rapidly fouled with Bermuda grass
and other plants, whose seeds are con-
veyed by the water.
There is a certain flexibility to the
individual pumping system which
enables large project to grow in a
natural way by the assemblage of
small units. With such a community
first established on the ground the way
is open to strong associations of indi-
viduals for any movement promising
general benefits.

COLORADO RIVER VALLEY WANTS MEN AND PLOWS
PARKER MINES
BUSY; CAPITAL
ENTERS REGION

Parker on the Santa Fe railroad at
the juncture of the Colorado river is
,,atral for a mining region extending
or both sides of the river for miles
alout The chief interest at present
is the Copper Basin mine north Of
Parker. where large body of sulphide
copper ore has been encountered at
depth of 900 feet.
with recent change in manage
ment a shaft was sunk from the 100
to the 900 foot level. every foot Of
w',icll according to reports of the
nine has been in ore. A station was
cut at the 300 level and the shaft con-
tinucd TO greater depth. Water was
struck at $50 feet. Pumps ar to he
installed to handle the water. As soon
as this Job is completed prosecuting
from the shaft will be started on the
200 foot level. Mining engineers who
have familiarized themselves with the
, working conclude that the Copper
Basin has large body Of disseminated
copper ore.
Adjoining the Copper Basin is the
! Lucky Boy. This property has a show
/ ing almost equal to that of the Cop
per Basin. Its shaft is down 100 feet
and has entered the sulphide zone.

Whipple property. which recently was
bonded on a working basis. A road
/ is being constructed to the Mt. Whip
pie from the main road leading to the
Copper Basin mine. complete equip
ment of machinery has been ordered
for this property.
Several months ago bond and lease
arrangement was entered into for the

thirty claims. These claims are 10

operation to prospect for an ore body.
A hole was drilled 500 feet. Then it
was decided by the management to

was stopped. The log of the drill
showed that sulphides in small guam

The Arizona Consolidated Smelling

a survey of the claims and has run
numerous cuts in prospecting ground
and contemplates the sinking of a
working shaft. thorough develop
ment of the property is proposed.
In the Copper Basin district the
Bowman and HUMPHREYS ground has
been exploited with a number of tUn-
nels and shaft, with favorable results.
On the Boston group, owend by Need

encountered. Miles Carrot has prom

43 CLAIMS MERGED
IN THE COPPER BASIN

Fortythree claims, comprising some
rich properties of the Copper Basin
district, have just been consolidated
by Prescott people. The holdings in
clude those of Mrs. Robert Brow and
Frank Cass. The operating company
will be known as the Big Butte Cop
per company. All the claims have been
prospected thoroughly say the incor-
porators and there has been enough
development done the past twenty
five years to justify the outlay of cap
ital decided upon.
The Commercial mine in this dis
trict is shipping heavy tonnage daily

Iona Prieta is also in the same ore

Utilization of Overflow
Engineer Harris believes that in
many parts of the bottom lands it is
possible that with small expense for
embellishments and controlling gates
one or two good irrigations per year
may be caught from the overflow and
utilized at the time of the annual Col
orado river FLOODS in May and June.
On numerous areas this overflow &C.

Ancient Indian Method
The ancient Indian method of rails
ing quick growing crops of corn,
sQuashes and SO forth utilizing the
moisture of the naturally flooded
ground. after the manner of Egypt, has
never been taken advantage of in any
large or adequate way in this district
1t is easy TO realize the benefits that
season would be as a supplement to d
pumped water supply, when one con-
siders not only the saving in the ex-
pense of pumping, but also the con-
tinual replenshing of fertile elements
in the soil. From an irrigator's stand

lem of over abundant silt, which at
present serious indeed on gravity pro-
jects taking water from the Colorado,
while at the same time preserving the
benefits of the river water.
According to Mr.. Harris the mesa
land lying within and near the town
site of Parker would probably best be
cultivated by pumping water with a
centralized plant at the river. The
mesa land lies about IS feet above the
river. The mesa land lies about Is feet
above the river. The soil is lighter
and more sandy than that of the bot
tom lands and would be benefited by
silt carried in the river water Sew
eral wells have been sunk on this high
ground in which good waterbearing
gravels are struck at about ~ feet.
The need of this irrigation water in
the town of Parker for lawns, trees,
gardens, etc. would amply justify the
cost of delivering it for those pur-
poses. The ground around the town,
when considered in connection with
the climate, is suitable for the growing
of citrus fruits and other crops, and
could be reclaimed by pump irrigation
at cost for water supply well within
the limits considered practicable in
other parts of the southwest.
Advantages of Pumping
Experience with gravity systems
