IS IRON SPRINGS ROADWAY ID BE
 RESTORED?
tFrom Fridav's paily.)

Restoring the old wagon road via Iron Springs into Skull valley and the abandoning of the Copper Basin route to the same point is now under consideration by the Yavapai High way commission, was the report in circulation yesterday. The members of this body left yesterday to make a reconnaissance with their engineers, going as far as Iron Springs in auto mobiles, and thence on horseback to the railroad station i'll Skull valley.
 It is planned to rebuild part of the old roadway, and to repair the estab- lished line with the object of finding a more desirable route in grades than prevails via Copper Basin, in coming into or leaving this city.
 The distance Is to be reduced a few miles, but the main question is one of maintenance and low percentage grades which will prevail on the olc route that has been unused for SC many years, as against the Copper Basin road. Whether it is contem plated for the county to officially abandon the present line, is no known, but such action seems hardly probable, as it is in many ways oi direct and essential benefit to many mining camps through which i passes, and, it is believed, in a shor time some big operations will be un der way The county can hardly af ford to abandon the stretch from tn, Basin proper into Skull valley, as tha route is the outlet for frieghting t the railroad at Skull Valley, and i closed will seriously handicap earl operations contemplated or bringin' i'll investments.
 Nothing will be known of the puT poses of the commission in the abov or many other road movements unt' final action is taken next month O the big line of field observation which has been going on for the pas two months, when recommendation will be submitted for the taxpayer to pass upon pertaining the comin bond issue

MINISTRIES LOSE
 RARE CHANCE TO WEAVE

LONDON, Dec. Is. - There is a woman in London around whose story the minstrels of old would have WOW en many a ballad, says the Daily News"
 She is The Lady Hurma di Bith Mar Shimun, sister of the ruling pa triarch of the Assyrians, the present. day remnant of the once powerful nomadic tribes which inhabited Meso- potamia before the incursions of the Arabs. The country whence she comes has been identified by some with the Garden of Eden.
 Travelling by steamer, by train and on horseback, she has come alto gether 5000 miles from a town 500 miles beyond Bagdad to plead, as the agent of her people, for the restora- ton of lands lost by them when they took arms in behalf of the Allies against the Turks and Kurds.
 Driven further and further into their mountain fastnesses by repeated invasions and massacres, the surviv- ing 22,0O0 of her people have been gathered together at Bakuba, where they are living under the protection of the British civil and military au- thorities.
 "I came to England much against my will, said The Lady Surma, who speaks English perfectly. q have never been to Europe before. But there was no one else to come. My brother, the late ruling patriarch, was killed by Kurd treachery; my young CT brother, who succeeds him, is i'll and another brother is serving. The people would trust nobody else.
 Tt may seem strange to you that woman should be chosen for such difficult task, but 1t has been the tradi- ton of our nation that the sister of the heir should take the VOW of celibacy and act as her brothers help CT during his reign"
 The territory for which she is pleading with the British government is the oldest known to historians. It lies south of the Caucasus and north of the Euphrates and is the scene of many incidents in the Old Testament story. The life of the people who have been Christians since the days of the earliest teachers, has been one long story of persecution, culminat- ing in their flight over the mountains ill 1917-18.
 Our villages were razed behind Us" said The Lady Surma, "all our fioclls have been driven away, our money stolen and exhausted, our books and documents burned. We are people without a country"

INDIAN RESERVE
 COPPER MINE IN ACTION
(From Fridays Daily)

The famous Lagoon copper mine, which was the objective of sensa- tional rush into the WalIapai Indian reservation on November 1, last, i'll which over 200 mining people partici- pated in 45 automobiles, the location being secured by C. H. Dunning O; Prescott and others of Mohave county, and the coast, is now under operation.
 Reports are being received in Pres colt that the imaginative existence of this property as one of the greaIes, coppers in surface showing was not overdrawn, in fact, 1t is stated the immensity of the blanket formation carrying the native metal wherever development has been followed is be- yond exaggeration. The Lagoon in Indian lore bears wonderful repu- tation. The zeal of those who have made the location can best be judged from their knowledge of the mineral condition, and it is in appreciation of the wonderful possibilities that they are preparing to begin practical de velopment and ship to market in a short time.
 This will be the first mining which has been permitted in that field since the Wallapais were given that region as a reservation, dating back over 5C years ago. Seligman IS to be the in let to the new copper bonanza, and MT. Dunning is now on the ground to represent his and others interests. Samples of the product to reach this city from the Lagoon show the native copper and the red oxides that range as high as 66 per cent in this metal.

BIG MINING DEAL FOROLDS|LVERS
 IS CLOSED
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

What probably is one of the most important mining deals ever closed in the Senator field, in which silver figures as the dominating metal, with gold and copper as a by-product, was that announced yesterday wherein the Davis, Dunkirk and Poverty groups on Slate creek pass over into new hands, known as the Silver Cycle Mining Go.
 There are ten mines involved in this huge transaction, negotiations for which had been under. way for some months and were finally con summted this week.
 The new operators are represented by Chas E. Malony and E. w. Mey- CTS, both of San Francisco, and who are of the practical class of mining men, as well as principals of the com pany, the latter being an authority in metallurgy and formerly of Nevada. The equity of Joseph Caspari in the Davis, a bond and lease, is acquired, while others had control of the Dun kirk and the Poverty.
 Gigantic Movement.
 The new operators are now i'll pos session, and will proceed energetically on broad line of development in which will be outlayed large invest ment. All three groups are. to be re- habilitated and consolidated under d single corporation, while from an other viewpoint of essential import ance is that the old Dunkirk mill and other equipment is to be junked and the reduction process to substitute the old system will be modernized by standard ball mill equipped with Notation. This system will be but an initial movement for introducing later
 smelting plant, the desire being to reat thousands of tons of a good grade of ore that accumulated in days gone by and which is available on all Jumps. An aerial tramway from the works to the state highway is also rnder consideration, while as a whole there has never been contemplated ir his mining field such a gigantic un- lertaking as the Silver Cycle pro- poses to carry out as fast as men and money can accomplish the work.
 Famed Mine.
 The Davis is one of the oldest mines in the county, but with limited development given. Its record as a steady producer under leasing mainly .ates back to over twenty wears ago, and with silver at 50 cents an ounce paid its way with a good margin of Iroft. Its greatest production has been given since Mir Caspari assumed ,harge and introduced modern oper- ting machinery only a short time lgo, the mine under his ability having l gross output of over $l60,000 alone What the total output of the Davis has been is not available for pub icity, but it is known, however, to lave been heavy.
 It could not be learned what the consideration has been in these deals, ut it must have been for large sum n view of the prominent rating all hree groups enjoy.
 O. O. Smith, a local mining men, who enjoys an excellent name, has been appointed superintendent and is now at the works directing.

LOCAL PLUMBER BADLY
 BURNED BY GASOLINE
(FIom Thursdays Daily.)

Thomas Brown, the well known plumber, was badly burned on the hands and back yesterday afternoon while engaged in work in the rear of the Home Apartments, the tank of d gasoline torch in use exploding.
 Instantly his entire body seemed to be enveloped in d huge blaze and had it not been that Officer McDer- mid was in the vicinity and noticed the horrible sight, using his coat to smother the blaze, 1t Is believed MT. Brown would have been 50 seriously burned that fatal results would have followed. He was taken at once to his home, and while painfully burned will recover. Officer McDermid also had both hands burned, but continues OH duty.

DANZIG, Dec. Y. - The Free City of Danzig," as it is to be when the peace treaty comes into effect, was enjoying quite boom until the Allies blockade of the Baltic came into operation. However, as the blockade affects only German ship ping, it probably will not bear heavily on this port for the reason that allied and neutral countries are plying d brisk trade with it.

The man was described as a big

is a question not decided, and who he
was is another. All efforts to get
