BOLSHEVIK LET HUGE
 RAILROAD CONTRACT
 NORWAY FINANCIERS

CHRISTIANA, April 2 Gore spondence of the Associated Press) ).- A concession for constructing rail way 2,000 miles long has been grant ed "in" principle" by the bolshevik government of Russia to a financial group headed by Eduard Hannevig, a Norwegian, says a Norwegian lawyer, M. Puntervold, who recently returned from Russia.
 The proposed railway is to extend from the Obi river in the Tobolsk government, via Kotlass to Petrograd, Murmansk and Archangel. It is said to include the right of utilizing 33,000 square miles of forest land through which the railway is to be constructed, mining rights along the railway and the opening of banks at the railway stations and towns near the line.
 According to M. Phntervold, the terms granted are far more favorable to capitalists than might have been expected from the most conservative government in Norway. The news paper ri Dens-Tegn, commenting upon the concession, says: Tt is a proof that Lenines government is finding it necessary to create a new capital ism to encourage the economic life of Northern Russia.

The price is expected gradually to rise to a healthy mark and condi- tions in the copper mining district to enjoy a robust and permanent stabil- 'ity and an era of prosperity ensu that, while not flourishing as that of war time, will be steady, so that the busi- ness world will be able to make plans in advance, which is impracticable during a time when the peace treaty still hangs fire and business is prac- tically in the dark.
 MT. Notman says that the c. & G.. shaft is again under development and will be sunk from the 1500 foot level. This will not mean an additional force of men to be employed, but instead, MT. Notman says, men will be shifted around from other positions.
 Lowell Change Room Completed
 The new Lowell change room has been completed and will be ready for occupancy as soon as the painters finish the exterior, which will be some time next week. The new change room is similar to those which the company has installed in the Czar and Holbrook shafts and it is equip ped with all modern conveniences. The installation of these change rooms is subsequent to the company's desire to make working conditions as comfortable and as pleasant as they possibly can for the worekrs. The new change rooms are equipped with shower baths, daily supply of linen towels, soap, etc. Lockers have been installed of metal design and each workman has a place where he can leave his valuables and change of clothes in security.
 The only division which still lacks a change room. is the Gardner shaft and MT. Notman says work will be commenced on this shaft later in the year

Especial N. E. A. Correspondent)
 SALTILLO, Mexico, May 3.-There is no more remarkable state govern. ment in Mexico and probably in the world, than that of Coahuila, presided over by the boy governor, Gustavo l Espinosa Mirles.
 Espinosa Mireles is not yet 2S years ] old, but his regime could be studied with profit by grey-haired American governors.
 Mexico, an almost bankrupt nation, can point to Coahuila as an example of ripened fruit of the revolution. Though Mexico's national credit is weak at present, the state of Coahuila can show it's books to American ii. nanciers-and obtain loans on favor able terms.
 This is solely due to the admins, trative ability of the boy executive.
 From Bankruptcy to Prosperity
 When Carranza made his first stand five years ago against Huerta tyran- ny, Gustavo Espinosa Mireles, then a law student, went with the First Chief" as private secretary.
 He became in turn Coahuila's pro- visional governor and elected consti- tutional executive. He took the chair when the state was not only bank. rupt but had defaulted on the inter- est of the state school debt, contract ed with the United States banks.
 Today there is more money in Goa huila's treasury than ever before in it's history. Its interior debt has been paid, its expenses of administration promptly settled and still there is a respectable balance
 I found Goevrnor Mireles in his private office, burrowing through a huge pile of maps and reports. We talked for hours, and here is what learned from him direct and about him from the man on the street:
 Coahuila's treasury is respectfully filled with metallic coin and gilt edge bonds; Coahuila's taxes have not ad- vanced since 1912; there are no dis putes with foreign investors; the gov ernor has just written the American bankers asking in what form he shall remit the interest on the school debt. Organizes Workers and Raises Wages
 The workingman has been taught to organize for mutual benefit; the , labor centers have been stripped of saloons and gambling joints; the gov ernor has won the confidence of the workers to such extent that he has always been able satisfactorily to ar bitrate their differences with capital.
 Fifty thousand organized coal min CTS look on him as a friend and just arbitor. His program has been con- ciliatory, and many refuge families have been repatriated.
 He has furnished the workingmen

NEWS OF THE WEEK FROM MINING DLSTRTCTS
GADSDEN PROSPECTS FULFILLING HIGHEST
 WISHES OF OWNERS
Eastern Stockholders Are Optimistic Following
 Visit to Property

That the indications at the Gads- den are meeting the most roseate ex- pectations of the owners is the state ment made by Thomas Houston wealthy Michigan capitalist and one of the directors of the Calumet 6 Arizona Mining company, of which the local property is a subsidiary MT. Houston is heading a party com posed of William Bond, William Ire vaithan, w. Pendetlini, Chester Hous ton, Gordon R. Campbell and H. B Praull, of New York. All are stock holders in the parent concern, and are accompanied by W. B. Goehring one of the leading engineers of the company
 The decision to visit the property here grew out of the optimistic re- ports of the development work at the Gadsden, submitted Saturday at the directors meeting of the Calumet & Arizona at Douglas.
 After an examination of the mine, MT. Houston stated that the work is progressing as favorably as could be expected, and the indications are all that could be desired. He denied the rumOr that the exploration IS to be pushed forward on a larger scale, however. stating that the company would content itself with the opera tions originally outlined.
 For the present, the operations are to be confined to the development of its intense naturalization zone en- countered on the 1900 level. Drifts are now being run through this zone, and at short intervals cross-cutting operations will be instituted that the extent of the naturalization may be determined, and the data thus secured be made the basis for future plans.
 Tn spite of the fact that the indica- tions are growing better daily, the engineers in charge of the work are of the opinion that the actual ore body will not be encountered for at least another two months. They agree, however, that strike may be made ebfore this time, and that is no doubt but that the. present plans,l without modification, will be ulti- mately crowned with success.

COPPER COMPANIES AIDED IN N. Y. FETE
 FOR BOYS OF t5OTH

The following dispatch from New York tells of the plan for the enter tainment recently held by the Rocky Mountain club there for the return ing war veterans of Arizona's 158th:
 New York, April 25.-The copper companies of Arizona and New Mex ico have added generously to the funds placed at the disposal of the Rocky Mountain Club of New York City for the entertainment of the 15Sth infantry and Friday, April 25th, will be day long remembered by this crack regiment from the southwest.
 The 158th is now under the com mand of Col. Saltmarsh, Brigadier General A. M. Tuthill having preceded the regiment to the United States.
 Under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Club a special train was run from Camp Merritt to New York city and return, and upon reaching the city the entertainment took the form of a sightseeing trip of New York followed by an elaborate dinner al the Hotel McAlpin and theater party at the Hippodrome.
 The 158th regimental band played for the Victory Loan demonstration and the subscriptions received from the Arizona boys in the regiment was more than all the other states com bined as was the case the night before when the Rocky Mountain Club en tertained the 143rd and 144th machine gun battalions, the 10th military DO

FEAT IN
 YUMA MINE DISTRICT SAVES 45,OOO ACRES

In a country where water is as prec- ious as gold, and in many instances more valuable than all the yellow metal that will ever be mined, the work that has just been completed by the New King of Arizona Mining Co.,, in the Castle Dome mountains, is considered to be one of the biggest reclamation feats ever accomplished in Yuma County outside of Govern ment work.
 The Castle Dome mountains are in the center of a waterless desert. The mountains are famous for their rich ness Two mines at least have made their holders wealthy-the North Star and the King of Arizona. Heretofore because of the lack of water, mining was a precarious occupation in the Castle Domes, and rich ore had to be discarded because of the lack of the fluid. Rich property has lain idle because there has not been suf- ficient water in the mountains to work it.
 When the King of Arizona mine was purchased and reorganiZed some time ago by eastern capitalists, one of the first things done by the new company was to try to solve the water prob lem. Water had to be hauled to the mine over mountain roads in bar rels The cost of the water when it arrived on the property was as great as the cost of gasoline in Yuma today To work with such water was well night impossible.
 The New King of Arizona found a short distance from their mine a nat ural rock reservoir. In time of flood the reservoir would fill with water, ' but in a short time it would run off into the desert and be wasted. The management, across the outlet erected a dam thirty feet high which will hold back sufficient water to sup ply the mines of that immediate dis l trict through the greatest drouth When the reservoir is completed, what was once a waterless waste will be a square mile of water. The reser voir is more than a mile and hal long and will have a depth of nearly i thirty feet.
 The dam will reclaim approximately 45,O0O acres of range land. In the past it has been impossible to range cattle in the Castle Dome mountains | because of the scarcity of water ! There are no running streams ana all of the natural tanks and reser voirs dry up during the long hot months of summer Now it is possible
 to run herd of 25,0O0 cattle in that part of the Castle Domes.

BOY GOVERNOR OF STATE IN MEXICO
 ACHIEVES REMARKABLE RECORD IN
 BRINGING PROSPERITY FROM CHAOS

of Saltillo and other labor centers with casinos, libraries, night schools and gymnasiums.
 Today he is making an exhaustive study of industrial insurance and means to introduce it in Coahuila
 Miners wages before the revolu- tion were $1.50 to $1.75 Mexican mon- ey with ten hour shift Today the wage is $25O for an eight hour shift. Some miners make as much as S4 Mexican coin per day. Before the war Coahuila's one state normal turned out graduates. Now six normals turn out teachers. And the administration not only supplies text books, but pays room board and all legitimate expenses of students. The public schools have increased 100 per cent numerically; thousand per cent in efficiency. Teachers sal aries have been doubled and they are promptly paid in metallic coin. Four hundred teachers have been pen stoned
 "The state has progressed under the two years of Mireles' administra- tion more than 20 years previously" a man who had lived 20 years in Saltillo told me.
 Before the governor founded the new state university and introduced many of his laws, he made ten extens- i've trips into the United States where he studied educational systems, state and municipal laws, adding what he believed improvements, and these the state adopted
 He has recently been elected head of the Co-operatista party of the re- public and has banded leaders of all professions and trades to work for the uplift of the nation.
 Breaking Down U. S.. Mexicon Barrier His American friends are legion, and he frequently confers with gov ernors of American border states in order to bring the people of his own state and the Americans into closer harmony
 "The only obstacle to more friend ly American-Mexican relations" he told me, lis the lack of knowledge of mutual needs and better acquaint- anceship.
 During the war, when President Carranza advised all of his chiefs not to meddle in allied or German poli- tics, he secretly called in one of his best friends.
 Organize an Allied Club" he told him. We must help the Allies and the United States to win this war for democracy
 Although the governor was forbid den the active leadership of the club he accepted the honorary presidency and it was from Espinosa Mireles the Club Alliada took orders in it's fight against Germanism.

ONLY WAR SPIRIT GAN
 PUT VICTORY LOAN OVER WARNS DIRECTOR

There follow two recent statements by Frank M Smith, Federal District Director of War Loans, which are well worthy of attention:
 "Let no one imagine, because the Victory Liberty Loan eventually will go over. that therefore they need not do their part When America enter ed this war we knew that we were going to win it but we only knew this because we were absolutely certain that every American soldier would act as a hero, that every working man would put his shoulder to the wheel and produce the supplies needed and last, but not least, that every true American would pledge his past and future earnings in loans to the gov ernment It was because we did these things and only because we did these things that the war ended as it did. It is nothing but repetition of these methods and a continuation of this spirit that will put over the Victory Liberty Loan. I call upon every man. woman, and even child to do his or her part and do it promptly"
 Another aspect of the matter" said Mir Smith, "which I want to bring very clearly before the public is this short term Liberty Notes are not likely to be subject to the fluctation from which long term bonds have suffered. It was with this idea in mind that securities should never sell at less than par that the Treasury department decided to put out these notes instead of bonds. It is my per sonal opinion, in which I am supported by a good many financial people, that these bonds will maintain their value from the very start"
