The State Fair

o the EO1COr OF the O1SHdl.
Sir We have read with consid-
cradle interest the correspondence
OF Mr.. NJ. P. Cosby in your recent
issues, relative to an exhibit by
your community at the State Fair.
We regreat that his efforts in the
matter have thus far proved so in
effective and trust that the people
of that locality will at once per-
ceive the opportunity they are al
lowing to pass and promptly rally
around some movement looking to
proper representation at the expo
sition in November.
Mr.. Cosby's deductions are un-
questionably sound. The travelled
citizens of the state are aware of
the great resources of your section,
but unfortunately only few peo
pie, even among our own citizen
ship, are among this number. We
re call some previous fairs when
only a half dozen of your people
CO. operated in displays that at
tracted considerable attention. With
united effort we are sure you could
assemble an exhibit that should
claim it's fair share of the glory
and do much to advertise your
wonderful resources.
This particular year is one in
which conservation and the devel-
opment of potential wealth is play
ing a larger part than ever before,
not alone in fair exhibits generally
but in every line of activity
throughout the nation. A tree is
judged by ifs fruits, and this is the
year that the homeseeker and in
vestor has his eye on the main
chance. Unquestionably your won
derful valley has more to offer than
many better advertised sections.
We believe a great deal of the diff
fidenCe manifested in that section
is due to a fear of the more pre-
tentious agricultural counties. For
that reason we want to call your
attention to a bi of history. Ten
years ago agriculture in Yavapai
county was a joke. For three years
it took the first premium for county
display. Last year Pinal county
won it. ella county has hitherto
pleaded not guilty" to the charge
of agriculture in any worth while
form. This year ella will be rep
resented by fine display and con-
duct a moving picture show be-
sides Just to show what can be
done by dropping seed between the
rocks and ore lodges of that re-
giou. The list might be heightened
but it is not necessary.
Won't few of your good peo-
pie get together RIGHT NOW,
and save the day for Benson and
the San Pedro Valley ?
Yours respectfully,

MINING ENGINEERS CONVENTION

New York, Feb. 19.-More than 500 mining engineers from practically every section of the country met here today for the 114th convention of the American Institute of Mining Engin- eers. Sessions will continue through out four days and subjects of great importance to the American mining world are on the program for discus sion.
 The indebtedness of the United States to Brazil for it's supply of man. ganese ores since the outbreak of the European war was pointed out in the course of today's proceedings by Dr. Joseph T. Singewald, Jr., and Dr. Benjamin LeRoy Miller. It was stat ed that manganese was one of the few industrially important metals that are not produced in the United States in quantity commensurate with the needs, and that there is now being imported about 300,000 tons annually.
 In a years time Brazils share of the manganese importation jumped from two-fifths to nine-tenthS of the total. Prior to the war India and Rus sia furnished the greater part of the American supply.
 Today's morning sessions were on tue general SuDJecC O1 geology d1Q Ule- Itallography. Special features were a paper on the recent geologic develop ments on the Mesabi Iron Range, Min nesota, by J. F. Wolff, and papers on Grain Growth Phenomena in Metals by Fay Jeffries and Dr. Henry M |. Howe.
 Discussions of subjects relating to petroleum, gas, milling and smelting wei e brought out in two afternoon ses sions. Among the special subjects were Evidence of the Oklahoma Oil F:elGs on the Anticlinal Theory, by Dorsey Hager, and the Magnetic Con- centration of Low-Grade Ores, by S.. Norton and S. Le Fevre. In the lat ter paper it was stated that the min. ing chance of striking it rich'' has been eliminated by the manufacturing tsinty of handling large IuaEIities of material as proven by porphyry copper mines of the West. This afternoon the ladies attending the convention were entertained at the New York home of Henry c. Prick.

FLOUR MILL FOR DUNCAN

Duncan, Feb. 21.-Duncan is to have flour mill. This is the an- nouncement made this week by Tay- Tor brothers, recent arrivals from the Mormon colonies of Mexico.
 A deal was closed on last Saturday for the purchase of four lots in the Head addition to Duncan, and the mill is to be erected at point next to the electric light plant. The build ing is to be constructed of adobe, it is understood, and work is to be com menced at once. The new mill will probably be in operation within 90 days from the time work is commence ed.
 The name of the company is the Taylor Brothers Milling company, and the Messrs. Taylor are well acquain- ted with the milling business, having been engaged in that pursuit for some years. They are at present arrang- ing with local farmers to SOW wheat this season, and many of them are doing so. It is planned to produce sufficient wheat in the Duncan val ley to keep the mill in operation con- tinuously during the milling seasons. The capacity of the mill has not been made public as yet, but it is believed that Messrs. Taylor will decide to in- stall at least a 50-barrel capacity mill to begin with, adding another unit as the business demands.
 The installation of flour mill in Duncan is a move which has been looked forward to for years by the many farmers of the district. as they have no market for their wheat save by shipping out of the valley or sell ing it for chicken feed, etc. The mill will prove to be one of Duncan's most important industries, if not the most mportant.-Duncan News.
