COTTON GROWERS WARNED
Freezing Weather Will Bring Losses
In Unpicked Cotton, Says Agent

World Creek County Bureau,
l1oh East Hobson.
SAPULPA, Okla, Oct. 23.-With
freezing weather predicted and less
than half of the cotton in Creek county
picked j. w Riley, county farm agent,
today issued a warning to growers to
get the product to the gins immedi
ately to avoid certain losses. Accord
ing to the agent there has been a great
deal of picking in the central part of
the county but growers in the southern
section have not yet started to pick.
Riley is making a vigorous cam
paign for less cotton growing next year
in this county on the ground that the
ground is full of the dreaded boil
worm, that reduced the crop to one
third normal this year, is certain to
raise havoc with future crops. He is
urging the growers to plant other
crops in place of cotton and allowing
the worms to die.

es. The Swansea property, i'm Yuma

The mine production of lead in

26, 900. 900 pounds in 1916. The value
Of this output increased from 81 ,021,

Stopper ueen and AShattuck-Arizona
Qmines, in the Warren district, and
the Tennessee mine, in Mohave coun-
ty, continue to contribute the larg-
part of the lead output.
The production of zinc from the
mines increased from 1920, 1868

to about 2O,9SO, 900 pounds, valued at

the Gemmell-Randolph tailings at

The output of gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc from mines in Arizona,
In 1916 had a record total of nearly
$2O3, 900, 900, compared with $9O,S06.-
394 for 1915, according to the estir
mate of Victor c. Heikes, of the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior. The not
able output of copper and the nigh
prices of metals both assisted in this
increase of 1873 per cent. There were
record productions, also, of gold. sill
yer, copper, lead, and zinc.
The production of gold from Arr
IONA mines increased from 81, 1865, ,O25
In 1915 to approximately $4,427 900 In
1916,an increase of over s per cent.
The production OF. gold from copper
ores In most counties was naturally
greater than in 1915, but there was a
marked decrease in the output of bull
lion from amalgamation and cyanide
mills, particularly in Mohave and Mai
icopa counties. Several new gold
mines were added to the list during
the year, especially in the Oatman
camp, Mohave county, but the pro-
duction was not sufficient to offset
the decline In the output OF the older
properties. A new 200ton mill was
being completed for the United East
ern property, and considerable ore
was opened at the Big Jim and Gold
Ore mines.
The production Of silver from the
mines increased from 5,649 ,02O ounces
in 1915 to record output of about
6,823,000 ounces In 1916. AS. the mar
ket price was much higher, the value
increased from $2,S64 ,053 to early
Sd, 400 900, an increase of nearly 81
per cent in value. There was no
great change in the production from
the Commonwealth property, which is
principally silver producer, SO the
increase is to be credited largely to
the remarkable output of copper ore.
The output of copper surpassed
all records and estimates as it in

Simultaneous with the wonderful
activity in the agricultural industries

from the nearby mining districts. The
mining activity around Parker has
taken ON the shape of real mining

proving already that the numerous
mineral deposits near that place are
not only rich upon the surface but
carry high grade commercial values

be done and while a days work paid
big wages for the individual, and
sometimes !, finds of large nuggets
would mean big sums, the working of
