tude of the people who are buyers
of luxuries. The spending power
OF the East has helped us and is
helping us, for we are the sellers
and they are the buyers.
The earnings of the Southern
Pacific Company, which have i'm
proved along with other business,
are giving us an opportunity to
spend much money for betterments
needed upon our property. While
there are no new extentions contem-
plated. the shop forces are working
full force at full time and the
maintenance-of-way crews are also
busy. We are making heavy ex-
penditures in laying new rail, re-
ballasting track, widening tunnels
for greater freight clearances and
other similar improvements. All
this means employment of larger
forces. It means enlarged payrolls,
and enlarged pay-rolls for our men
mean increased circulation of mon
ey for the communities we serve.
I look forward to continuance
of the country's prosperity for some
time to come, peace or no peace.
The wave of prosperity that has
resulted in part from improved
domestic condition, and in part
from the European war, has gained
too much momentum to be easily
stopped, and even after the decla-
ration of peace, its forward move
ment will proceed for considera-
bic length without interruption.
AS far as the Southern Pacific
is concerned, it is doing its share
as the largest institution in the
West, to contribute to prosperity
out here. It's principal contribu.
tons are added employment, in
creased payrolls, larger home in
dustrys purchases, and new car
building at home. These are all in
conjunction with our efforts to keep
our service up to the highest STAN
dard.

MINING NEWS
FROM PARKER
(Week1y Bulletin)

new drift has opened up a small
vein of exceptionally high grade
copper ore, carrying about SIS per
ton in gold additional. The Eag-
les Nest is perhaps the best devel-
oped mine on the property and with
increasing depth is encountering
better ore.
Work on the Arizona McCinnis,
which adjoins the Eagles Nest
claim of the Empire property has
consisted principally of additional
development work during the past
week. Several open cuts and shall
low shafts have opened up and
traced for a considerable distance
the big ledge which is dipping to-
ward the Grey Eagle shaft of the
Empire on the other side of Copper
queen Mountain.
Across the river, work cn the
Copper Basin property. has contin-
ued to be the sensation of the dis
trict, Notwithstanding the very ev-
ident desire of the property owners
to suppress information about the
rich blanket of copper su1phides en-
countered at depth of 800 feet.
Reports that a syndicate of East
erners have secured an option on
this property and are dickering for
other claims in the vicinity, while
unconfrmed, continue to spread
rapidly.
The mining boom and increased
activity in the agricultural lands on
the Indian reservation surrounding
Parker has resulted during the past
week, in stimulation of business
generally. The lack of sufficient
hotel Accommodations has been keen
1y felt for practically six weeks,
but it is understood a Los Angeles
hotel man has been interested by
the Parker Bureau of Mines and
there is probability that Parker
will have a new hotel shortly.
Inquiries from western business
men and trades people generally
have been received during the past
ten days relative to business oppor-
tunities in Parker. 1t is believed
that general building program is
imminent as existing buildings,
suitable for stores, etc. are already
crowded.

Extensive development work on
nearly every property in the dis
trict has been the outstanding fea-
ture of the past week in the mining
districts around Parker. While
the producing mines are getting
out from ESQ tons of ore per day
for the Swansea, down to 20 or 80
tons per week for the smaller pro-
ducers, feverish activity in blocking
out or opening up new ore bodies
continues unabated.
Thursday last, H. A. Morse,

work on the Arizona Revenue prop
critics opened up new ore body on
the Echo group. Samples of the

vein matter is said to prove conclus-
lively that the ledge is the one on
which the Swansea Mine is located
1000 feet or more to the east.
The excellent showings made on
the Revenue property and the pros
pect for the immediate shipment of
ore in small quantities from both
the Echo and FL Moline groups of
the big consolidation, has attracted
the attention of eastern capital and
it is understood negotiations are
under way to dispose of a consider

MUST BE PROTECTED
AGAINST POLITICS.

bookkeeping cannot solve this
problem. A management with a ma
tional policy that knows what it
wants, that can make steel, run
engines, dig tunnels, that can keep
the peoples interests before local or
personal interests, is what we need
such railroad leadership must
be protected against politics and
wire pulling. The benefits from such
q policy viii he So great that all
the moneys that have been put into
the railroads in an honest way can
easily be paid off.
ITO supplement our railroad sys-
tenn we can build concrete roads
that will last hundreds of years
with low upkeep charges.
In the country so percent Of the
road haulink is done or 20 percent
OF the highways. If this 20 percent
o. the roads is rebuilt of concrete
trucks and automobiles will take
over much of the short haul bust
