LOWER MINE TO
EXTINGUISH FIRE
New Plan to Eliminate Blaze
That Has Burned For
Twenty Years

jerome, Ariz., Dec. 26.-1he fire.
which for more than twenty years
has burned in the upper levels of
the United Verde Copper mine here,
is about to be eliminated by dras-
tic process of lowering the entire
surface of the property to 400
foot level. All attempts to extin-
guish it have failed.
1t is the general opinion that the
fire was started by a slip in the rock
producing sufficient friction heat to
ignite the ores rich in sulphur. 1t
has burned its way through veins of
copper, gold and sulphur.
The process of suppressing the fire
involves the removal of 100000
cubic yards of material. The area
to be evacuated is roughly estimated
at 400 by 500 feet. Monster steam
shovels are to be employed in the
work.
1t is expected that the task of re-
moving the entire top of the mine,
and to extinguish the fire, will oc-
cupy several years.

Free Hog Cholera Serum
Plan to Be Abandoned

The State of Pennsylvania will
rum for hog cholera owing to the
big increase in the number of swine,
but retain control of the sale of the
product, according to a general Or
der issued by the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the State Department
of Agriculture. Several years ago
the State began the manufacture
of the serum as a means to check
hog cholera but at the outbreak of
the war steps were taken to increase
the number of hogs along with other
live stock and the distribution has
become too expensive.
According to Secretary of Agri-
culture Fred Rasmussen, there are
now considerably over million
hogs in the State and to provide the
serum would not only cost the State
over $25, 900 q year but provide a
means of combating a disease for
animals when farmers are required
to pay for materials and treatment
for control of scale and other fruit
tree diseases. The order issued say,
that the distribution of serum will
be discontinued after January 1
but in order to protect the swine
industry, the Department has made
arrangements to maintain a supply
of serum and virus made by reput-
/ able firm at convenient locations in
I the State. Secretary Rasmussen
says that the specifications for the
serum are the most rigid possible
and that the serum will be supplied
to veterinarians only.
Sale, distribution and use of the
serum is to be controlled by the
Bureau of Animal Industry.

were not practical and the Commis-
sioner rejoined that he could not
see why the manufacturers could
not develop n light that would suit
large trucks. He also warned that
trucks monopolizing the middle of
the road would get their driver and
owners into trouble and urged that
such large vehicles be equipped with
mirrors to show what is following.
There will be no deviation from
the Act of 1919 in regard to width,
height or other details of trucks;
that is final," said the Commissioner.
There will be half a million motor
vehicles in Pennsylvania next year,
propably a tenth of them trucks.
Now we are going to safeguard the
other 100000. Lighting arrange
ments that apply to other cars must
apply to trucks as well. If you can
not get the lights required because
of the manufacturers we will license
you on condition that you state in
the application that you have placed
an order. The inspectors will en-
force the law regarding weight and
width"

Japs to Prohibit
Exports of Cotton

Toxic, Dec. 26. The Japanese
government has decided to prohibit
the expectation of cotton yarns and
cotton tissues in order to check the
advance of prices. Owing to the
shortage of supply against the ever
increasing demand, the price of raw
cotton has gone up 1877 per cent.
1t is alleged that this is in part
due also to speculative dealings of
cotton yarn brokers, who have taken
advantage of the buoyant market
and the fast falling supply to deal
in futures.
The government has decided also
to exempt from customs duty cotton
yarn and cotton tissue imported from
abroad. Several large spinners in
Osaka and elsewhere have ordered
cotton yarns from the United States
and China, and many Japanese cot
ton mills will augment their manu-
featuring capacity with spindles and
other machines imported from the
United States.

Trade Association, that they should
pay close attention to the fact that
while Japan had gained material pros.
perity from the war, the other Allies
had gained moral prosperity. 1t was
not improbable that the Allied peo-
pies by their sufferings and privations
had more than offset their material
losses by their moral progress.
Japan, said the Minister had placed
her goods abroad largely because for.
eign customers could not get what
they wanted from other countries.
There had been complaints of the
quality of goods exported from japan
and every thing should be done to
keep UP the standard He suggested
that individual activity in trade and
industries should be Systematically

Realization by Americans that the
proposed league of nations covenant
is designed to apply not only to the
100.00O,000 people of this country. but
to the peoples of fifty other nations of
the world as well, is necessary to any
understanding of the purposes, of the

Walsh of Montana at a meeting last
night of the College Women's Equal
Suffrage League at 1926 Rhode Island
avenue.
Americans should study carefully
the propositions embodied in the
articles making up the covenant of
the proposed league Of nations Sena-
tor Walsh said. in the effort to gain
complete understanding of the
things the league is to stand for. That
the leagues covenant cannot be ex-
pected to be perfect instrument in
it's first draft, he said, was natural.
The Constitution of the United States.
he said, was only accepted after acri-
monious debate and with reluctance
and did not in any way meet the en-
tire approval of American statesmen

to admit Japanese. If she could she
would also force us to change our

The league, however, deals only with
international questions and has no
relation to domestic affairs.

nations make to each other will act
as an effectual preventive of war
