 MINE IS DROPPED

''.''s- '~ Ss.S8 ' = -
 BISBEE. Feb. 19.-The deal be tween the Magma Copper company and R. R. Richardson of Patagonia for the Three R mine. at a figure re. ported 10 be s750 000 has been drop ped definitely. according to repor.s reaching here from an excellent au- tho-ity. late in the week. However, the American Smelting & Refining company now is reported to have en- gineers on the ground sampling the ore, which gives rise to a rumor Of pending deal between Richardson and the A. s. & R. interests.
 It has been estimated recently that at feast 100000 tons of low grade copper ore, averaging from 1-2 to per cent had been blocked out at the Three R property, assuring the company which took it over a good mill run
 All of the ore is not Of so low a grade. however, as in the Collosus tunnel it was reported that there was one body of 20 feet running 13 per cent and better.

TO s'fH NATION
 WITH HIGHWAYS

"lth NtSHwAv
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 25.- II. J. Whitley. of Les Angeles. one of the pioneers in good roads and boule- ward building in Southern California. has been in conference with Senators and Congressmen here several days seeking scme plan for building three national highways across the coun. try. Mir. Whitley believes this work should be started at once to provide employment for thousands Of re- turned soldiers and 10 make use of the motor transport released by the returning army.
 He would have roads built under Federal control and according to Federal specifications in such a way tha; they would be as lasting as the Roman roads Of France.
 Having been one of the men wh1 crea:el Sunset boulevard and Sher- man Way in Southern California. Mir Whitley is using his time and influ- ence here to secure legislation that will result in the triple roads from ocean to ocean. He likes the ideas rI k,- Postmaster General Blakeslee. who advocates one transcontinental high way via St Paul and the northern tier Of states to Seattle and Tacoma. second through Omaha and Denver to San Francisco. and a third by way of the southern route througl, Fl Paso. Douglas. Bisbee. Tombstone. Tucson, to Los Angeles through Yu. ma
 He is also very much .n favor of the plan of Senator Townsend 10 create national highway c)mmis. sion of five members to make a na. uonal system of highways and ap- propriating s425.ooO,0o0 during the next five years to bring about a con nectei system Of good roads This plan contemplates the cooperation of all states and provides that no Federal aid shall be given unless the states contribute in like manner with the national government.
 MT. Whitley is seeking some action that will permit this work to start this summer and permit the employ rnent of large forces of men and the use of machinery built for the war He believes that no more pressing work is before the country, and feels that no other means of closely unit ing the states and particularly the far west and Rocky Mountain states with the east can be developed with such great prosperity to all parts of the country.
