An immense vein of vanadium
and tungsten ore has been discover
ed in the vicinity of the old Ripsey
mine, six miles south of Ray juno
ton. The find was made by L. w.
higgins. a prospector, who has
gained the title of Lucky" Rig
gins on account of his many impor-
tant discoveries in the mountains of
old Pinal county.
The vein, which is seventeen feet
wide for most of its length, can be
traced for over 800 feet on the sur
face, The formation is rich in van
adium and scheelite, the later being
rare and highly valuable ore OF
tungsten. The vein also carries
good values in lead. Wolframite
is the vanadium ore present, and
according to Higgins the whole vein
is saturated with it.
Within ten days from the day he
found and located the veiu, Higgins
bonded it to Tucson capitalists, who
are said to be preparing for the in
stallation of a mill on the property.
Development of the property will
be fastened by reason of the fact
that the parties operating it are the
same who are operating reduction
and treating plant at Mammoth.
Development of hugh vanadi-
um mine six miles south of Kelvin,
will meau the addition of another
big property in this district, and
add another important mine to the
list of producers of Pinal county
The fact that property all around
the new find had been prospected
for years only indicates that there
are hundreds of opportunities yet
undiscovered lying tucked away in
the hills of old Pinal.

The Mexican drug mari
huana has been introduced
into the militia camps along
the international boundary,
and members of a band be-
lieved to be engaged in SNUG
ling and traffic in the drug
were arrested at El Paso. The
young militiamen, being away
from their home surroundings
the novelty of trying "some-
thing new" excites their Gu
riosity and they become easy
victims of this insidious drug
habit. Marihuana is peculiar
to Mexico, and is taken in the
form of a cigaret, being COM
posed of the leaves of a weed
growing in that country. Hal
lucinations of great physical
strength and valor are in
duced. At the same time the
user imagines he is a giant,
while other persons and OBJ
jects are dWarfed.

What this valley needs is
not better markets but better
marketing. An active pro-
ducerS association for Coop
erative shipments and stand
ardization of product would
be a desirable institution, but
an increase of acreage under
proper cultivation would be
necessary if the San Pedro
valley is to compete in sup
plying the markets of Ari-
zona's prosperous mining
centers. More settlers must
be located, more land placed
under cultivation. For this
much desired result a greater
water supply is an absolute
necessity. Dry farming helps,
but for maximum results
there must a great increase in
the quantity of water for ir-
rigation. There is but one
correct solution to the prob
lem, and that is the construc-
ton of the Charleston Dam.

AN ALASKAN BUT
 RECENTLY LEARNED
 A WAR WAS GOING ON

BUTTE, Dec. 11.-Joseph Sandle, las just learned that the world is It war For four years, while the most momentous events in the his ory have been transpiring, he has been out of touch with civilization )n a prospecting expedition in the Arctic.
 He has just returned and stopped lere enroute to his former home in Arizona gold strike in Alaska which he was forced to abandon 20 years ago on account of falling health has proven to be of little value, he said.
 Sandle said he left Seattle in the spring of 1913, securing supplies and ammunition enough to last him about TWO years, and made his way to his old shack in the interior which he had left in 1897.
 Everything was just as l had left t." he said Not a thing had been disturbed Even the same grease was still in the frying pan in which had cooked my last breakfast there in 1897, and I was surprised to find a liberal quantity of supplies on hand still in a good state of pres ervation."
 He spent the summer months In killing and preserving supply of game for the winter he said, and thus he spent five winters and four summers there He made four trips south and traded gold and furs to the Indians for more supplies. He met a band of white men in 1915' but they were going out and knew less than he did about the outside world.

It is published by the German-Irish Society, which is under the presi- iency of Matthias Erzburger, assisted by Count Westarp and Baron von Richthoven. The editor of the Jour- nal is George Chaterton Hill, while John Gaffney, former American Con sul General at Munich is one of it's directors.
 The first number contains letters of congratulation and good wishes from General Ludendorff and Former Foreign Secretary Zimmerman. These ire followed by the Inaugural Ad lress" of the German-Irish Society, which says in part:
 "The war has proved that Germany has very few friends. But the Irish nave acted as friends at home as we'll as in the United States, and Germany must not underestimate the value of Irish friendship. From the beginning of the war the American rish adopted the German cause with enthusiasm, and, in alliance with the Ierman-Americans, conducted cour- lgeous fight for true neutrality.
 '"The formation of this society is o supply visible proof to the Irish n Ireland as we'll as in America of ;erman gratitude and German sym ,athy The heroic rebellion of 1916 still lives in the memory of all of ls The uprising ill Dublin, during which 1000 armed Irish defeated !

SPEAKERS FOR RED CROSS ARE
 4 N N . U N CED
Several Juneau Orators Will Take Part in As SiSting the Local
 Order

Acting under instructions from headquarters, Juneau Chapter has in vited a number of local speakers to form the Juneau quota of speakers for the National Red Cross Speakers Bureau, which is now being organ ized throughout the United States. The object of the bureau is an, nounced as being "to secure the names of speakers throughout the United States who are willing and competent to make Red Cross ad- dresses at Chapter meetings, con ventions. etc, throughout the terri tory adjacent to their homes"
 In order to carry on this work most effectively, the Speakers Blu reau has been recentralized through out the thirteen divisions of the United States. Each divisions is organizing a Divisional Speakers Blu reau which will have charge of speak ing engagements in it's jurisdiction.
 Among the local speakers who have accepted the invitation in spirit of enthusiastic patriotism, are Gov. J. F. A. Strong, Rev. Geo w. Bruce, Judge N. L. Burton, z. R. Cheney, H. L. Faulkner. J. A. Heltentahl, Judge Robert w. Jennings, Rev. J. T. Me Queen, R. E. Robertson, and Mrs. Robert J. Cragg, chairman.
