ed out, the express rates are less than
the first class freight rates and the re
suit is that many packages which

MANY AFTER
NEW FEDERAL
JUDGESH|P

PHOENIX, Dec. 13.-Now that the
bill creating an additional judicial dis
trict in Arizona is on the unanimous
consent calendar of the house, having
passed the senate and is expected to
become law soon, there is much spec
ulation as TO what Arizona lawyer will
be named to fill the position, one of
the most coveted in the gift of the
president, being life job.
Henry D. Ross, one of the justices
of the supreme court, is most fre-
quently mentioned Before his ap-
pointment as collector Of internal rev.
enue, Alfred Franklin was considered
first in line, but having been defeated
for denomination to the supreme court
it is not believed that he will be ap-
pointed
The selection of Ross would leave
vacancy in the supreme court to
be filled by appointment of the COVER
nor.
Others mentioned for the place are
George J. Stoneman of Phoenix, G. H.
Rutherford Of Jerome and Judge
Franklin B. Lane of the superior court
of Greenlee county, all active candi-
dates.
Judge Samuel L. Pattee is also men,
toned, but it is not believed that he
will be named, as Judge Sawtelle
comes from Tucson.
AS the first federal judge was NAM
ed by Mark Smith, it is believed that
the second will be left to Senator
Ashurst In that case it would not be
surprising to see the senator recon-
mend Thomas E. Flynn, present Unit
ed States attorney. He stands close
to Ashurst, having been his law part
ner before Ashurst was elected to the
senate.

HOLD YOUR BONDS
AND VS.. 5. STAMPS ]
SAYS SEC. M'ADOO

Hold your Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Certificates. Hold them first,
because they are the best investment
in the world backed by every resource
in the United States is the appeal of
Secretary of the Treasury William G..
McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal
Reserve District Liberty Loan head
quarters.
Following is the secretary's state
ment:
Hold your Liberty bonds and War
Savings certificates. Hold them first,
because they are the best investment
in the world backed by every resource
in the United States.
Hold them because you have made
sacrifices in order to buy them. Why
pass on to some one else the contract
you have entered into with your
government?
Hold them because, even though
the war may be over, it has not yet
been paid for. The treasury depart
ment must soon issue more bonds.
Every sale now made by you makes
future government issues more diff
cult and more expensive. This ex-
pense can be borne only by the peo-
pie of the United States; therefore,
why add to the already large burden
Hold them because the time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be true friend in time of
need, a guaranty against the fear of
debt and insurance against real hard
ships.
Hold them because the need for
saving is not over. Government ex-
penses are today larger than at any
time during the war. Our boys in
France and Germany must be paid
and fed and clothed, and, when their
work is over, transported home. THEY
HAVE NOT QUIT. WHY SHOULD
YOU?
Hold your Liberty bonds instead of
exchanging them for some other So
called security, because you know
the security Of your United States
bond and cannot often know the worth
of what is offered in exchange. The
get rich quick crook is ready to steal
your bonds from, you at the first op-
portunity.
Hold them BECAUSE of the interest
they pay. Hold them because it is

MAGMA CHIEF CALLS
MEETING TO RAT|FY
SOMBRERO OPTION

A special meeting of the stock.
holders of the Magma Chief Copper
company will be held at Mesa on
December 18th for the purpose of
approving or rejecting the action of
the board of directors in leasing and
taking an option on the property OF
the Sombrero Butte Copper com.
pany. The meeting will be held at
the main offices of the Magma Chief
company III Mesa.
The Sombrero Butte mine, which
is located in the Bunker Hill min
ing district, Pinal county, is one of
the most promising properties in this
section. 1t is already in the produc,
ing class, ore being shipped to Hay
den smelter. Under the terms of
the option entered into between the
two companies, stockholders in the
Sombrero Butte would have. the privi-
lege of exchanging their stock for
treasury stock in the Magma Chief
Copper company, share for share. The
option calls for a cash consideration,
but also carries the conversion privi-
lege.
Operations on the Magma Chief
property at Superior were suspended
some weeks ago, and Superintendent
Kumke has removed TO Hayden, from
which place he will actively direct
operations on the Sombrero Butte
property, which is now being operated
by the Magma Chief.

When the news Of the strike reached

sell. A carload of this ore has been
shipped to the El Paso smelter and
two more carloads will probably be
shipped in the near future.

UNKEPT PLEDGES
LEAVE ARIZONA
BEHIND QUOTA

PHOENIX, Dec. 13-"1f the people
OF Arizona who have given pledges to
buy definite quantities of War Savings
Stamps during this year would all live
up to those pledges Arizona as a state
would find its task of meeting it's
quota for investment in these securi-
ties far easier than it is" said Harry
R. Tritle, state director for the War
Savings Stamps, in a statement made
public today.
Because of the epidemic of influ-
enza," continued Mr. Tritle, "and the
consequent fact that many of the War
Savings societies did not hold meet
ings for some weeks, scores of secre-
taries of such organizations were not
able to keep in touch with the men,
bers to see that they did live up to
their pledges and so, with a number
of exceptions these societies have lag
ged behind.
The pledges to buy certain definite
amounts of War Savings Stamps dur
ing the year were forwarded to Wash
ington months ago and the govern
ment has counted upon that money.
The only honorable thing to do is to
live up TO pledges thus given, for on
the strength of such pledges the gov
ernment has made expenditures which
must be met
"We have all taken pride in the fact
that the American army was the best
clothed, best fed and best equipped
army in the field and now our ambi-
tion is to bring that army home when
its work is finished 1t takes money
to do all that-billions in money, and
the War Savings Stamps in the aggre-
gate bring in hundreds of millions
for the cause. Because the men are
not now actually fighting, for which
we are all truly thankful at this holi-
day season, does not mean that the
cost of war is over by any means. We
are still keeping millions of men in
service, operating hundreds of great
ships and doing scores of other equally
necessary and expensive tasks. That
is why we should all meet our debt
of honor-our pledges to buy War Saw
ings Stamps"

CREEK IS
SOON TO ENTER
SHIPPING CLASS
The Superior Sun says:

The Superior Sun says:
can upraise, which will be made In
the near future from the 400-foot level,
will put Queen Creek in the list Of
shippers. This, it is understood, Is
| the belief of Consulting Engineer
Deity, who, with Messrs. Stephen and
Smith, officers of the company, visit;
ed Superior on last Saturday.
Queen Creek has been in copper
almost from the grass roots to the 500
level. At 800 feet sinking was aban-
doned owing to a heavy run Of water.
| 1t was thought at first to be surface
water, but later Investigations lead to
the belief that the shaft is now on d
level with Queen creek bed and that
the water which pours in comes from
the natural flow of the creek. This
fcan only be handled with heavy
pumps, which will be installed as,
soon as sinking is resumed.
"From the 1OO-foot level to the 400
level good body of copper ore was
uncovered, and the upraise from the
4O0-level will break this ore down and
put the mine in the shipping class.
In fact, the force is at present busy
breaking down ore, which will go to
the smelter as soon as the new Mag
ma avenue bridge Is completed, which
should be not later than December ID.
Drifting from the sixth level contin-
ues. 1t is the intention of Superin-
tendent Smith to extend this level to
the ledge matter. which it is thought
will be encountered at about $50 or
400 feet. A big body of high-grade
copper ore is anticipated as result
of this work. 1t is understood that
Queen Creek has made a contract for
the moving of its ore from the mine
to the depot and that a big, fine five
ton Kelly truck will arrive in camp
in few days to take care of the
freighting.
"The gold ore from the big sugar
quartz ledge has been carefully
sacked and will go out to the smelter
early in the company's shipping ca
reer. Much of this ore runs as high
as $50. 1t all shows color under
panning, and it is believed that 1t
will materially help out smelter re-
turns. Local miners are of the opin-
ion that Queen Creek has practically
enough ore in sight at the present
time to take care Of all future 'devel-
opment work and to properly equip
the mine for deep mining"

RUSH WORK ON
FORT WH|PPLE

An aftermath of the world war and
sad one is the tubercular hospitSA
at Whipple Barracks, near Prescott,
on which the government is rushing
work at the present time.
Forty-eight one-story buildings are
to be erected before the tubercular
post is completed. The largest of these
will be $50 feet long. The buildings
will be divided into apartments, in
which will be housed the tubercular
soldiers and sailors of the nation.
The flow of tubercular cases to Fort
Whipple has been very heavy recent
ly. All of the old buildings at the post
have been filled and number of pa
tients are now living in tents, await
ing the completion of the hollow tile
houses by the government.

ABSURD SCHEME
USED TO FOOL
PHOENIX PHO[K

Probably as absurd proposal as
has been made during the entire peri
cd of war financing broke out in
Phoenix this week, when the commit
tee in charge of the war savings
stamp drive brought out a plan to
have owners Of Liberty Bonds sell
them and invest the proceeds in
war savings stamps. That such a
proposal. which on it's face was ridi-
culous should have met with any ac-
ceptance, only goes to show that Lin
coin was right and that you can fool
some people all Of the time.
Under this arrangement, which
would have been a credit to Boob
McNutt, if you owned 500 Liberty
bond you were invited to sell it
for $96-or whatever the market price
happened to be-and invest the $96
you received in war saving stamps.
For $96 you can buy war savings
stamps of value of $113 at matur
ity, but you have already lost four
dollars by selling your bond for $96.
Consequently when your war savings
stamps mature January 1, 1928 you
have really received only $109 for
the $1OO you invested in your Liber
ty bond.
On the other hand assume that you
hold your Liberty bonds for the next
four years and that the bonds are
worth only par at the end Of that
time 1t is more than probable that
they will be worth much more. But
if they are worth just par, you will
have received (at Az per cent inter
est) $17O0 in interest. 1t is case
of Silt if you keep your bond TO
$1O9 if you sell now and buy war
savings stamps.
Nobody in Phoenix is particularly
anxious just now to have the credit
for starting the scheme outlined
above, and it is believed that every eff
fort will be made to erase this matter
from the public memory.
