MEXICAN MOVIE !. PATRONS FAVOR
 U ]. RELEASES

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2.-American moving films are increasing in popu- larity here. Until eighteen months ago European pictures were favored by the public, which had acquired a taste for French and Italian produc- tions. Of late, however, American manufacturers have put their prod ucts to the fore in the republic and their films are to be found in virtually all picture houses, in many of them displacing altogether the European films.
 AS evidence that the United States manufacturers intend to expand their field, here is the fact that within the past few weeks three of the leading companies have established offices in Mexico City and these in turn have started branches in Vera Cruz, Guada- lajara, San Luis Potosi and Monterey. Representatives of these firms assert that in a short time Mexico will re- ceive film releases almost simultane- ously with the United States. This will be an innovation, for heretofore managers have been content to re ceive films many months old and of a poor quality.

MINE PROPERTY TRANSFERRED IN
 S450,000 DEAL

PHOENIX, Aug. 2.-One of the big gest mining deals in copper property put over recently in Arizona was con summated Thursday when the final papers were signed for the transfer of 32 of the claims belonging to the Con solidated Holding company to the Grand Pacific Syndicate for the sum of $450,000.
 These claims, popularly known as the Daggs Group, were located in 1S99 by A. J. Daggs and Hugh R. Daggs. They are located adjacent to the Grand Pacific group already owned by the purchasing syndicate, are about one mile from Superior, and near the famous Magma mine.
 The purchasers were represented in the transaction by J. c. Denton, gen eral manager of the Grand Pacific Copper company, and the local inter ests by Hugh Daggs and P. H. Hayes, president and secretary of the hold ings company The purchasing syndl- cate is made up of about 40 big New York and Pennsylvania capitalists, headed by c. c. Steinbrenner as presl- dent. Mir. Steinbrenner is vice-presi- Qonl Ol lHt NdlClld OA6hoA OAA OO-- pany, a 30 million dollar company, and the Grand Pacific company is capital ized at $2,OO0,000.
 Highly Valuable Property.
 Before the purchase was completed the property was inspected by Dr. w. H. Weed, the geologist and engineer for the syndicate, and had previously been reported as a highly valuable property by some of the best eng1- neers and geologists in the profes- sion.
 The four original claims, which were acquired by the Daggs interests by purchase were long worked as sill yer mines, without regard to the cop per possibilities. At one time the Monte Carlos and the Touchnot claims were extensively worked for silver, which was hauled to Tempe, the town of Superior not being in ex- istence.
 Surface workings have indicated as high as IT per cent copper, SAP per ton gold. and B ounces of silver in the Monte Carlo claim, and some very high percentages in other claims. Sev- eral times in the past few years the property has been about to be sold large number of times to big inter ests, but various interests connected with the war prevented the consum- nation of the deals. A deal was prac- tically completed with the Lewisohns interests when war broke out between this outfit and other moneyed inter ests.
 The Calumet & Arizona had an option it was about to take up when the war broke out in Europe, it asked for an extension, according to MT Daggs' statement, but it was refused
 Has Tragis History.
 The purchasing syndicate is to put in electric equipment throughout, and has already ordered the machinery to install a central generating plant to work both the property they already hold and the new purchase. The con tract calls for not less than S30OO pei
