NcCeutiy you nave seen announcements OF
price reductions on some makes of motor
cars.
These seeming reductions Eve use the term
seeming" advisedlyO have given the aver
age buyer IN erroneous impression.
That suppression Is to the effect that the
price of motor cars generally is above nor
NAL and will come down in the near future.
Now. Is matter of fact, that is not the con-
dition at all.
There is no warrant for any such assump-
tion.
just analyze the situation yourself and see if
Our statements are justified.
Recall the prices that existed on certain
makes of automobiles before the United
States went into tho war and compare the
prices Of those same cars today.
Youll find that any reductions that have
been made were necessary.
In q word. they apply only to cars that were
ver-priced-war-tine priced-before such
reductions.
For example CONSIDER four makes Of cars
that formerly were priced in close competi-
ton with the Maxwell.
Compare their pre.war (normal) prices;
ent reduced" prices. Wen designate them

Is it not logical to assume that as his price
yesterday was fictitious, it is still almost
equally so2
1t costs more to build motor car today
than did year ago.
Materials are higher-wages are higher. All
costs are higher.
1t will continue for long time to come on
the present scale we believe.
Tell you why.
Materials are now in demand by the whole
world-wil continue to be during the years
of reconstruction in Europe.
Especially is this so in the case of steel.
copper and other minerals.
Rubber also will likely range higher.
Rubber is the biggest single item of cost in
a motor car and 1t is in great demand.
Wages will never 60 back to the pre-war
scale.
Every student Of the problem is now agreed
upon that.
You have read in the newspapers lately the
statement by the United States Steel Cor
poration that that concern is not going to
reduce wages-and that concern is the big
gest employer of labor in the world.
we will all get our share.
II the mechanic gets more pay, all lines of
business beneft-and more people are abls
TO buy motor cars,
We can see no reason to expect that the cost
of manufacturing Maxwell Motor Car will
be less in year from now than it is tody.
War or no war. the price of Maxwell prod
uct would have been precisely what it is
today.
We did take advantage of the Wartime
condit;on--but only to incorporate in this
new model several changes and improve
ments
Factory busy on war work, our engineers
and toolmakers had brief respite-and we
used that to perfect the Maxwell product.
We have spent more than 100000 on
special tools for more accurate finishing of
parts.
Cylinders are now ground after roaming
formerly only reamed. That is only one Of
many similar rehnements.
This new 1919 model Maxwell, deliveries OF
which will begin Immediately, is superior
product.
It is larger cara more commodious body
Gasoline tank is at rear instead of under
front seat-costs more. worth it.
The new Pantasote top adds greatly to ap-
pearance as we'll as to serviceability. Grace
full in design. In quality-the best.
Seats are deeper, softer-better springs
better materials.

AMONG THE MINES
A Collection of Newsy Items From
Among the Mines of Arizona.

Miami Silver Belt: An order
by the, corporation commission
prescribes a new deal in the af-
fairs of the New Dominion Min
ing Company, a Gila county
property. Complaint has been
made against the distribution of
stock by the vice president of
the company, B. F. Baker. In a
reorganization of the property
Baker received 200, 900 shares Of
the stock and the president, r.
E., Vandruff, 100000 shares.
This and other stock was pooled.
Application was made to the
corporation commission to sell
10000 shares of the stock at
$1.50 a share. Later, on the ap-
plication of Baker, who repre-
sented that the stock could be
sold at So a share, the commits
sion fixed that price in the or
der. Then, it is charged by 9TH
er stockholders, Baker unloaded
a part of his holdings at prices
very much below the price fixed
by the commission. On the
showing made the commission
ordered that all the stock OF
Baker shall be deposited with
the commission, which says that
1T has ascertained that the
property is probably meritorious
and should not be handicapped
In the progress of development.
Wickenburg' Miner: Messrs,
Leatherbury and Lyons, Mobile
capitalists, who are interested in
the Black Giant and other prop
critics in the Cunningham Pass
district, passed through town
this week on their way to Sa-
lone. The new hoist which was
recently installed on the vindi-
Gator property in which they are
interested is working fine. The
shaft is now down over 80 feet,
with an 18-inch streak of high
grade copper and gold ore in the
lotion of the shaft. 4 car of
nigh grade ore has just been
shipped and as soon as the shaft
reaches the 10O-foot level drift
ing will be started both ways
from the shaft and storing aud
shipping will be resumed. Some
good ore has bacn encountered
In the cross cut at :he Black

Ooon drawn TO Cno dQul lIluldIlS
Of Sonora owing to the attacks
made by them upon railroad
trains, settlements, ranches, etc.,
in that section. There is such
widespread misapprehension and
many of the published reports
are so far from the truth that
a brief account of the salient
facts regarding the Yaquis may
prove of interest.
The Yaquis belong to the
same family as the Apaches,
who formerly roamed over Ari-
zona, New Mexico and northern
Mexico, and resemble them in
as we'll as character,
to a great extent. At cue t!.1e
they occupied, or at least doml-
Lated. The greater portion Of the
state of Sonora, having their
centers of popula;.on along the
Yanui river and notably toward
its head waters in the noun
tains.. They were to some ex-
tent an agricultural tribe, but
subsisted largely upon proceeds
of the chase.
They came into prominent
public notice in the early part OF
the 18th century, at which time
there were estimated to be some
forty thousand, belonging to va
rious branches of the tribe.
They had successfully resisted
the incursions of the Spanish
adventurers and gold seekers,
and owing to their distance from
the seat of national government
and the isolated position of their
settlements they were seldom
Imolested. 1t was only when
they raided settlements in the
plains of the coast region that
they came into active notice. The
history of the tribe from LAO
down TO the present time has
been that of continuous resist
ance to control, and opposition
to the settlement and develop
ment of the territory once domi-
mated by them by outsiders.
From the time mentioned down
to the present there has been a
series of outbreaks and cam
paigns with the result that from
an estimated total of 100000, as
stated, the number of the tribe
is not now believed to exceed
$4,000 to $1,000 all told.
There are two more or less
separately divided groups of the
Yaquis. On the one hand the in
dustrious, ones who constitute
the major portion of the tribe.
They are good workers, are ex-
ceptionally intelligent for In
dians, find employment in the
mines and on the ranches in
Sonora and are for the majority
peaceably disposed when fairly
treated. They are willing to ac-
cept the lands allotted to them
and to remain there when not
employed elsewhere. They con-
Suite from two-thirds to three
fourths of the entire tribe.
On the other hand there is a
considerable element of "bron-
co" (wild) Yaquis, who, like our
own Apaches, are entirely ire
concilable and make demands
upon the government as the
price of their peacefulness that
are impossible of fulfillment
They demand that they shall be
given control of their entire an
cient territory, and this includes
the greater portion of the agri-
cultural region of the Yaqut
river valley-the most extensive
and important in the state ot
Sonora, much of which has beer
brought to a high state of de
velopment by Mexican as we'll as
foreign enterprise. Railroads
have been constructed, towns
built, orchards planted and inn
provements made in every di-
rection. Yet the Bronco" In
ldians demand as the price of
