at times we have had to do as the
railroads do when there is a surplus of
traffic, that is, charge the same price
as when traffic is normal, but at the
same time we take care of them. What
| mean is this Say, we have a room
which we charge $3.50 or $500 for. We
put two men in that room and reduce
the price slightly, making it less for
them, yet covering our extra expense
for light and linen.
This talk about outsiders coming
in and building new hotel is foolish.
We are in the business in Phoenix and
we know what conditions are. When
ever the time comes when we cannot
handle the trade and the other hotels
cannot handle the people we send them,
then perhaps we will add a few stories
on to the building. We can do it
cheaper than anyone else. With the
exception of hiring few more domes-
tic help our overhead expense will be
no higher. We have plenty of high
salaried men to handle twice the
traffic we have now. If a new hotel
were to be built, it would be necessary
for them to put in a new lobby, a new
force of clerks, and all the help, which
we already have We have all the faith
in the world in Phoenix and are not
worrying one bit about the future"

VANDERBILT SEES PROSPERITY
IN STORE FOR AMERICA 1917

Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank of New York and
regarded as one of the country's lead
ing financiers, foresees another year of
prosperity for the United States. In
a statement just issued he says:
AT the beginning of 1917 the out
look for business is excellent. The
agricultural community, north and
south, is verv prosperous. The crops
have been sold at high prices debts
have been paid, and there are prod
ucts and money in reserve to main
tain the buying power of those sec
tons until another crop is harvested.
The prosperity of the farmers is still.
the largest single factor in the pros
perity of the country.
THE industries are booked ahead
to their capacity for months to come.
There will he no let-up with them
while the wQr continues, and al
though the end of the war will doubt
less bring a relaxation OF the foreign
demand in certain lines and a decline
of prices, there should be an enor-
nous demand for everything we can
make when prices fall back to about
the normal level. We will have then
what may be called the second stage
of our opportunity in foreign trade.
The high prices, high freights. short
age IF goods, and war demands have
interfered with the development OF
new trade, but we will have another
try at it when this rush is ever
Immediately after the war; there
will be a great demand upon us for
equipment and raw materials. Later.
rs industry is resumed in Europe, we
will feel the keen edge of the old
competition sharpened by the dis
cipline and experience of the war
period. There is room enough for
all, but we must adjust ourselves to
the conditions.
The most important problem be-
fore us is that of reaching a fair and
reasonable understanding between
capital and labor, so that capital will
have the confidence to go forward on
large plans for the development of
our industries. and labor will see
gains coming to it through full en-
Dloyment and good wages. There
has been q phenomenal increase of
wages during the last year, greater
no doubt that would have occurred
under normal conditions, but to a
great extent the increase has been
absorbed by higher living expenses.
Probably some reductions will have
to be made to enable this country to
compete with other countries, but
living costs will also be lower. 1t
should be our endeavor to meet the
difference in wages between this and
other countries by higher efficiencyt
| High wages are a stimulous to pros
perity if they are not so high as to
| be prohibitory upon industry. and the
wage Garner himself is interested
that they shall not be oyerdone to
this extent. Instead of bitter con-
flicts over wages ard profits, we
must have joint study of how to in
crease the product. which is the
source of both wages and profits.
"The legislation of the last year
affecting business, including the eight
hour day, increase in income tax, the
shipping bill, retaliation against for
eisn trade interference. etc, is an EN-
harrassment to industry and as such
| harmful to wage earners. consumers
and all classes. Everything that need

CYANIDE PLANT IS
GOING UP IN GOLD
ROADS MINE CENTER

Interest centers in the Goldroad
section this week. due to an import
ant development in the Goldroad
mine and the official announcement
by A. c. Werden, manager of the
Gold ore mine that his company
will construct either a 80 or 59ton
cyanide mill without delay.
The Goldroad strike is of great
Importance inasmuch as it opens
eleven feet of good mill ore ir the
north branch OF the main vein which
hitherto has received little attention
The ore shoot was cut in a crosscut
near the end line of the Billy Eryan
claim, which produced 10 IONS of
S10G0 orc several years ago. A sec
ond crosscUt has been starteLs 400

two branches of the vein. 1t is eX-

crosscuts. BY that time considerable
custom ore should be available, as
the Goldroad Bonanza. which side
lines the Goldroad on the southwest
will have developed the vein which
it cut in December at a depth of
sos feet
The Bonanza shaft was continued
to $50 feet, the vein having PASSED
out on its dip at $50. A station has
been cut at $50 feet and a crosscut
is being driven to the vein. Sixty
samples were taken in the vein at
intervals which averaged $50 a ton
From its course the vein is believed
to be a spur from the main vein
and drift will be driven on ii. AT
$50 feet a crosscut opened ledge OF
silicified rhyolite IS feet wide which
is said to average $40 a ton. The
ledge parallels the main Goldroad
vein.
The Gold ore, which is to bifild
its own mill, sent 2000 tons Of ore
TO the Goldroad mill in March, April
May and June, 1916. which averaged
26 tons assayed $3.50 Il ton. The

DIAMOND DRILLING
IN COURTLAND DIST

Two churn drill outfits reached

STORE BREAKER

The store breakers got in another
turn on a Tempe business house dur
ing the early hours yesterday morning,
the Busy Corner, managed by A. =.
Herzberg, this time falling victim to
the robbers choice. Singularly. moth
ing has been missed. The store was
entered through a r5ar window and
after opening the back door from the
inside to insure a quick getaway in
case of necessity, the cash register was
opened. There were evidences too that
the invaders had searched elsewhere
over the store but apparently their sole
wish was to secure money and being
unable to locate thar they departed,
doing no damage and taking nothing
so far as the manager could ascertain
yesterday morning. Four or five
stores in Tempe have been entered at
various times within the last couple of
months and apparently the same party
or parties are doing the work for in
each instance the operations bear indi-
cations of the invaders wanting cash
only.

Temne. w H. Strong was arrested
Saturday night by Marshal NJ. c.
Browning and Deputy Sheriff Estrada
for bootegging. Though the officers
claim to have the dope on him, Strong
vigorously denies his guilt.
Strong, it is alleged, did part of his
bootlegging from his residence, corner
of Ash avenue and Sixth street, and it
was there that the officers got line
ON him Saturday night when Mexicans
were detected departing through the
back yard with liquor in their pos
session. $3.50 a pint it is said they
paid for the booze.
The officers made a search of
Strong's premises yesterday morning

Officer Estrada where the county au
thorities will handle his case.

HIGH RENT IN THIS
CITY IS IMPRESSIVE
TO WINTER VISITOR

The scarcity Of rooms and the high
rent situation are notable features of
the present winter season in Phoenix.
How some visitors regarded the situa-
ton is thus shown in an article in a
Douglas paper:
When it comes to charging high
rents Douglas landlords are pikers.
Such is the word sent down from
Phoenix, capital of the state, by two
Douglas men now there by County
Supervisor j. NJ. Sparks, who has just
returned from a visit of five days to
the city on the banks of the Rio
Salado.
The men who are sponsors for this
interesting rent information are M. E.
Jacks, city councilman and member of
the state legislature from Douglas, and
NJ. S. Stanley, of this city, who recently
went to Phoenix to accept the position
of deputy state auditor.
Three Rooms i$75
Jacks and Stanley told me-" eX-
planned Mr. Sparks, this morning, that
they were having real troubles in trying
to get a place to live and to send word
back to their friends that they are
lucky to be here. Mrs. Stanley had
been out house hunting every day for
two weeks in the hope of finding a
suitable naDltatlOn ana the DeSt she
was able to find was three rooms that
rented for $75 a month. Jacks hunted
for three days and was finally able to
get two rooms with the privilege OF
sharing a kitchen with another family
for sos a month.
There has been a great change in
Phoenix. A year ago there were a
thousand vacant house, and now there
is not one
Landlords Side of 1t
Since the talk about high rents here
began, landlords have been giving some
of the reasons why they are not exor-
bitant. 1t is well known among rea1
estate men that renting a dwelling
during normal times does not pay
When depreciation, taxes, new screens
and other repairs are taken into con-
sideration, there are few houes that
pay more than six per cent on the in
vestment Ordinarily, say real estate
men, it is more profitable to lend
money out. If the opportunity has
arisen where owners can obtain enough
rent to obtain a real profit on tEeil
investment, it is not more than they
are entitled to to make up for their
losses in dull times.
