CHR|STO SILVER FACES
 FINE FUTURE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Another illustration of what flota- ton is accomplishing in solving the reduction problem with which is as sociated the life of so many mines, was learned recently by arrivals from Groom creek in the splendid future facing the Monte Cristo. The process IS to be introduced there at once by w. H. Warrington, in con junction with a Harding ball mill
 This operator has been practically and yet quietly developing this his toriCal silver for some months, as we'll as ascertaining by tests made of the complex product the proper pro cess of recovery of the main mineral content, in which it was satisfactorily determined that Notation would solve the problem which standard methods of other days were unable to accomplish This led to the mine being closed down for many years, and necessarily the property was un justly classed as undesirable, and from a mineral bearing standpoint, although assays gave it an attractive rating.
 AIlGI dSCGI ldllllllS IIS kSy lO SuC- cessful tretment, MT. Warrington has energetically continued develop ment and by sinking new shaft ill virgin ground is developing under old workings a large ore body of grade of the original content that ex- ists in old workings. The tonnage in sight justihes the modern way of treatment. This mine continues to reveal its peculiar mineral make up in kidneys of the delicately and ar tistically interwoven wire silver threads being occasionally encoun- tered, but which from an intrinsic value standpoint form but a small unit of its real resources in the white metal The base ore carries the life of the product, and with flo- tation, this as well as scores of other old mines in this field are rap idly coming back into high class rating. The new plant is to be in stalled immediately

HAS GOOD FINANCIAL
 OUTLOOK
CBy Associated Press)

BERLIN, Oct. E.-Pessimism IS many financial writers about the in dustrial future of Germany is in sharp contrast to the general optimism of the people, who subbornly cling to the hope that America will sooner or later grant huge credits, and who overlook the fact that American cap ital is still shy of German loans.
 One of the most important Ger man industries is the textile industry and those interested in securing raw materials at the earliest possible mo- ment, or the credit with which to buy them, are gradually more and more alarmed at the colossal snug gling through the occupied territory, for it indicates to them that England, France and 10 d lesser extent Amer ica, want to swamp Germany with manufactured goods and will with hold raw materials as long as possi- blc.
 Germany had succeeded ill the summer of 1918 in mitigating the dis like for clothes made of paper, but hardly was this dislike gone than the armisticc came, and the we'll paid workmen and others preferred to pay the enormous prices for foreign tex tiles, enormous partly because they came from countries where prices are higher than in Germany and partly because of the low exchange value of the German mark.
 It was this influence of textiles primarily that induced Finance Min ister Erzberger to make customs du- ties in gold obligatory, for he be- lieved that that would in some meas urc be a drawback to would-be inI- porters. Financial experts, however, doubt whether this measure will be sufficient to prevent a ruinous flood of textiles, already manufactured be- fore Germany can secure its neceS- sary credits.

NOVEL INDUSTRY MAY DEVELOP
 IN YAVAPAI
(From Tuesdays Dailv.)

There is now under headway in this county an undertaking in min ing which is exceptional and without the objective of metalliferous valeus carried in the formation. It is a movement wherein the contents of the auriferous soil are sought for the purpose of procuring a base for the manufacture of dyes, in which it is stated only the placer formation can provide.
 This peculiar exploration is now being scientifically conducted in sev- eral localities of this county, in fact near Prescott, the field representa- tive of a California dye making firm now being in the country and ship ping to his house samples for andy sis.
 It is stated that the California firm is now placing on the market its various dyestuffs, produced from the placer beds which 1t is operating. The quality of the product is of a higher class than that heretofore se- cured from Germany.
 In coming to this field for the base of the dyes the information is given out by the representative of the coast firm that there is every indication that the complex makeup of the Yav- apai placer beds, with the gold elim- mated, may insure better commer- article than what is available in the above state. A microscopical examination has revealed this condi- ton and every large placer region is to be investigated accordingly. The gentleman now here states that the black sands of many localities in this section are far ahead of California deposits, and for a substantial and easily converted dye base cannot be excelled.

MRS. DWIGGINS SAYS
 HUSBAND WAS CRUEL
(trom Sundays Dailvl

Mrs. Jennie A. Dwiggins had a right to say her husband treated her man, if the allegations in a suit for divorce, filed by her yesterday, are true. She submitted to abuse of both the physical and verbal kinds in the course of her short married life, she states.
 Married at Humboldt on April 2, 1918, Mrs. Dwiggins was thrown on her own resources on July 2, the same year, when, as she states, her husband began failing to provide. Moreover, he coninenced treating her shanefully, and on October 10. in the presence of others, struck her with his fist and reviled her exceed ingly.
 In the time since she was com peiled to pay her own way from funds of her own, Mrs. Dwiggins says she has expended S2,2OO.

JEROME COPPER DEAL FOR BIG
 SUM CLOSED
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

One of the largest mining deals to be consummated in this county in many months is indicated by a deed recorded yesterday by which the United Verde Extension has acquired for S250,000 cash the eight claims owned by the West United Verde Copper company, more familiarly known as the Haynes. The transac- ton bore the approval of Arthur Terry, president of the selling com pany.
 This copper holding is one of the oldest operated in that field, and is situated on the ground paralleling on the west the United Verde, while the buying company is adjoining on the east of the United Verde.
 There are various angles given for this transaction, but none seem plausible from the standpoint of close relation between the buyer and seller. It seems to be the belief of those at Jerome, familiar with the geology of the Haynes system, thai ultimately with deeper development and additional exploration toward the north fault, the copper zones in the United Verde may be found in the Haynes, which, to date, has reached a depth of over 700 feet. This additional asset of the United Verde Extension may reveal with large ex- ploration another interesting miner alogical drama in the opening of huge ore bodies as was accomplished in the beginning of the life of the Little Daisy, from which was created the present company and which caused widespread comment in cop per mining annals of the country, as we'll as battling the prognostications of the so-called eminent mining en- gineers," who secuted the idea that a counterpart of the United Verde ever would or could be developed in that particular belt.
 The Haynes hugs the United Verde on the west side lines, while on the east, the United Verde Ex- tension laps over onto the United Verde. It is possible that under the close relationship of both these cop pers to the original one that the Haynes may also astound geologists as did the United Verde extension.

YAVApAI COUNTY'S APPLES
 EARN HER TITLE OF "OzARK
 OF WEST" FROM AN EXPERT

enced men, but, like hundreds of farmer folk, we did not know what a world of help they could have given nor how to go about getting it.
 Today any person who owns an
 orchard in Yavapai and does not keep in close touch with our state horticultural work is going blind when there is. light right at hand i; probably no one thing will go so far to insure success in growing good fruit as a fixed habit of conferring with these men who are experts on fruit varieties, fruit culture, and fruit and tree diseases and enemies.
 One of the best books on fruit growing for this region, and one which every person intending to plant even a small orchard should read first is Fruit. Growing In Arid Re gions" by Paddock and Whipple, edited by Liberty H. Bailey. This book is concise, practical, and full of the most important information gleaned from the experience of orch ard growers over all the semi-arid West.
 Quite beyond what any book can give, however, is the personal advice of older orchard growers and of such of our state men as Dr. Bartlett, who makes rather frequent trips over Yavapai and who knows our condi- tions particularly well. Our horti- cultural department is always ready to answer letters about fruit and tree problems, and if the condition war rants to examine personally the orchards that seem to need such ex- pert advice.
 While the office address is at Phoe- noX, in a climate quite unlike our own, the men who do the work are familiar with all of Arizona and in terested in all of it, and just as able to help us out up here as ii we were growing a lemon orchard on the desert. Our state agricultural col lege at Tucson has issued some very excellent bulletins on fruit growing which will be sent free of cost to any one interested in fruit trees and a post card sent to the department of agriculture at Washington will bring a full list Of the United States bull letins along this line from which those adapted to our own needs may be obtained free of cost. Such peri odicals as the American Fruit Grower arc invaluable to the owner of even a dozen fruit trees; one issue may con tain information worth many times the subscription price. Success in fruit growing means knowing no end of things-bird and insect enemies, diseases, sprays. pruning, marketing and all this we must get from the experience of the other fellow if pos sible. That is what our periodicals and state experts are for-to put us wise so that we can verify the inter national apple buyers prophecy that Yavapai apples will be on London tables in another decade.

Since taking over the Midnight Test on upper Groom creek, Mana ger Clark has made a comnendable showing in development and produc- ton, receiving returns short time ago of a carload of silver-gold ore that netted $108 to the ton.
 In addition he has made several mill test runs of the low grade, and the concentrate recovery also was satisfactory. Since determining an attractive mining proposition, MT. Clark for the rest of the winter will discontinue shipping and milling, all his efforts to be vigorously centered in straight development.
