The Advertiser, and | will say further
that there was, | know, mighty little

Kindness in sending them. This is
certainly very pretty country, and
surely rightly called Land Of Flow

of it still on the trees and really
cannot understand why the prices re-
main SO high. A person can go out to
the groves just out Of the city and buy
them much cheaper, both oranges ar
grape fruit, and you can also buy
them from wagons cheaper.
I saw what to me looked like a good
sized fish and it was alive and so must
have been caught near here. 1t
weighed two hundred and fifty-four
pounds. Also saw live turtle that
weighed three hundred and fifty

AMENDS LAW RELATING
 TO MINING LOCUT|0NS

The last state legislature passed a law and the governor approved it, which relates to the manner of locat- ing mining claims~ We are at loss to note wherein it amends the present law, but it is intended to perform some sefvice, which we take to be re- ference to monuments of government surveys. The act states that mining claims shall be marked by at least six substantial posts or stone monuments. The posts must be at least four feet high, but the stone monuments need be but three feet high. At each cor ner of the claim and at each end line monuments must be erected, six in all. In case a monument is coinci- dental with that of government monument such monument shall be used and become monument of the claim and shall be SO described, and shall be retroactive insofar as the claim is concerned.
 The existing law requires that six monuments shall mark the exterior boundaries of a mining claim and one other shall be erected at point of dis covery. /

 "CoOtie"

So the serious question of naming the new Ford creation has arisen, and the result was in doubt until, like a meteor, w. J. R. burst through the United States mails with the solu- tion-and in verse too. All ready, let Ter go:
 IT'S NAMED In 1910 when Henry Ford
 Produced the first Tin Lizzie Sensation wide on every side
 Turned everybody dizzy. No greater joy to humble folk
 Has ever yet been given Than Henry's flivver has produced wherever it has flivven;- But now, alas, he's quit it cold
 For what he thinks his duty, To introduce cheaper bus
 Which he will call the COOTIE.

UNCLE SAM CRABS
 GERMAN HOLDINGS

New York City, N. r., March 22- More than 100000 shares of Minerals Separation North American Corpora tion will be sold to Americans by the government thus making available for this country 20 per cent of the out standing capital of the concern which claims to own and control patents on the oil Notation process, valuable to the mining industry in general and copper interests in particular. N
 In examining the affairs of three German affiliated metal concerns in the United States the alien property custodian learned that the German firms of Beer, Sondheimer & Co.,, held certificates for 100,230 shares of Min erals Separation North American Cor poration stock, out of 5OO,000 issued. From this information it will be seen that German interests have been in- volved in the litigation designed to ex- act a toll from the U. S. miner upon every ton of ore treated by oil flota- tion, the discovery of Carrie Everson, a former Denver woman.
 The German firm of Beer, Sond- heimer & Co.,, through its New York branch, acted as exclusive agent in this country for the Minerals Separa- tion company of England. The Amer ican patents were originally held here ! by Minerals Separation American Syndicate of which the German firm held about 32,000 shares.
 The Minerals Separation North American Corporation was formed to take over the business of the syndi- " cate and holders of one share of sym dicate stock got two of the new con- cern in exchange. In this manner, Beer, Sondheimer & Co.,, received 65,- 23O shares of the new company.
 The ten-year contract which Beer, Sondheimer & Co.,, had with the Min erals Separation was finally cancelled in return for which there was issued to the former firm 35,0O0 additional shares of Minerals Separation, giving the German metal house a trifle over 100000 shares of, the company con- trolling the important patents in this country.
 The 5o0,O0O shares of the Minerals Separation North American Corpora tion was placed in voting trust with three voting trustees in control. The certificates for 100000 shares were taken over by the alien property GUS todian as the property of Beer, Sond- heimer & Co.,, of Frankfort and this will be disposed of by the custodian and delivered into the hands of Amer jeans. ft4

IMPORTANT MINE CASES
 IN THE SUPREME COURT

The supreme court, upon appplica- ton of the attorney general, has rein stated the causes of the state against the Inspiration Copper company and the International Shelter company, which were dismissed by that tribunal for lack of prosecution. The cases are for taxes and were appealed from the superior court of Gila county about year ago. The attorney gen. eral failed to press the suits and the court after due consideration the suits were eliminated from the su- preme court docket. A large sized howl went up from the parties inter- ested and the attorney general got busy and after argument the cases were replaced and will have hear ing. The money involved is about $16O,000, and the question of the
 right of the state to tax the invisible assets of the corporations. The ques- ton is an important one and should by all means be heard by the court and the question settled. Mine cor
 porations are just now paying 56 per cent of all taxes of the state and if the tax gatherer can get at their in- visible assets and tax them they may be able to extract from these fellows enough money to run the state with out calling upon the poor overburden- ed farmer, cattleman, sheepman and
 lumbemen.
