MAY SINK A TEST 0|L WELL NEAR
 DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS, May 22-James Finney of Bisbee was in the city recently showing his old-time boosting spirit. He was one of the pioneer residents of Douglas and was for years the pro- prietor of the business of Slater & Company.
 MT. Finney says that he proposes to make an effort to induce some of the public-spirited citizens of Douglas to join him in sinking a test well for oil in the vicinity of this city. He owns four hundred and eighty acres of land within one mile and half of Douglas, where he will grant lease for sink ing an oil test well without expense to anyone and besides he will take a lib- eral amount of stock in a company organized to put down a well deep enough to amount to a thorough test. A well 4000 feet deep should be sunk, said Mir. Finney. Oil may be encoun- tered; if not oil then an artesian water flow might be the result and either would be worth while.

SILVER PRODUCERS ARE
 PLAYING IN LUCK

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.-Sil- merce, stabilized by war conditions and great credit is due to Senator Pitt man of Nevada asd Hon. Ray Baker, director of the U. s. mint in this cen nection. The threatened action of the government which, two years ago pro- posed to fix the price of silver at S6 cents per ounce, resulted in conven- tions at Salt Lake and Denver, called by the western chapters of the Ameri- can Mining Congress. A big delega- ton from silver-producing states was appointed, Governor Emmett D. Boyle of Nevada, who personally headed the Nevada delegation in Washington, act ing as chairman. It was shown that it cost as high as $1 to produce an ounce of silver bullion in the mines and districts where silver was the chief product. The administration had no desire to close down American sil- yer camps and endorsed bill intro duced by Hon. Key Pullman authoriz- ing the director of the mint to- pur chase BOG, ,000, ,000 ounces of bullion at S1 per ounce. The passage of this legislation prevented disaster to the silver industry. Now that war is over and embargoes have been removed, silver is selling in the open market in. excess of $1.14 and some private ex- port contracts have gone to $1.20. Sill yer can not go below $1 while Director Baker has an appropriation left under the Pittman bill.

NEW RAIROAD ORDER
 WOULD WRECK INDUSTRY

An order just asked for by the Den would, if put into effect, eventually revolutionize the established system of handling and collecting for the movement of all raw materials.
 Under the proposed rulings, the present method of declaring valua- tion" is declared to be violation of the Cummins' act and ores are to be charged at actual valuation as disclos- ed by smelter or sales reports rate to be the present rate-up to $100 value per ton and 1 per cent of value in excess of $100 value per net ton. Thus, the established practice of re- leasing all values on shipments under declaration of value in order to re- ceive the benefit of a reasonably low tonnage rate is to be eliminated and the railroad administration or it's suc- cessors, the railroad companies, will be given access to the financial trans actions in connection with production or sales of ores or concentrates. The mining industry of the west is already overburdened and threatened with collapse and formal protests have
 been filed by the American Mining Congress with both the Western Freight Traffic Association and the Interstate Commerce Commission
 against the adoption of the ruling. A hearing has been announced in Chica- i, go May 1S, but ore producers of the
 west are aroused and have asked, for a postponement to June 15, at which time the evils and impractical features
 of the proposed ruling may be dis
 cussed.
 It is stated that Che effect to secure the promulgation of such revolution Eary regulation through local district request is the beginning of plan to secure closer vision into financial
 transactions and to increase the rail- road revenue from all raw materials.

PHELPS DoGDE OFFICIALS SUBSCRIBE HEAVILY TO
 VICTORY LOAN BONDS

BISBEE, May 15.-The inability of the copper mining companies to sub scribe as heavily as usual to the Vic tory Loan caused the mining con- munities difficulty in living up to their quotas, as their quotas are largely based upon the amounts raised in the .other four loans.
 With the copper companies the prob lem is now the conservation of cash, in order that operations may be main tained and their employees given con- tinuous work. They are facing a se- irous situation in the production of copper without ready market, and in
 some cases the production at cost higher than the present market value. Until this situation is relieved by a sale of the copper, there will be mil lions of dollars tied up in the red metal.
 Had the companies subscribed as
 heavily as formerly to the Victory
 Loan, it would have meant further
 curtailing of operations, more men out of employment, and a general de crease of prosperity. The officials of the Phelps Dodge
 Corporation found a way of over.
 coming this difficulty and yet of as. sisting the various communities in
 which the company operates to meet
 their quotas, by alloting a percentage of their personal subscriptions to the | credit of these communities These subscriptions were in addition to the amounts subscribed by them in New York City, and are as follows: 8O,000-Bank of Bisbee, Cleveland H. Dodge.
 $25,000-Miners & Merchants Bank Bisbee, James Mclean. $78,e08-Bank of Douglas, Cleveland
 H. Dodge.
 $25, ,000-First National Bank, Doug las, James Mclean. | $10,000 - Prescott State Bank, Ar thur c. James.

The city of Douglas used $180e0 worth of Glendale lettuce, $500 worth of Glendale cantaloupes and $500 worth of Glendale fruits last year. The Salt River valley evidently can fur nish the mining camp needs in food lines, and save the miners the neces- sity of resorting to canned goods.

The Arizona Commercial at Globe pumped 311,OOO,OOe gallons of water last year, pumping as high as 1,202.~, 500 gallons in one day. It is believed that much of the water pumped by the Arizona Commercial is coming from the Iron Cap ground, and the Arizona Commercial is attempting to recover, this added cost.
 In spite of the fact that the Copper Queen library was closed for three months during 1918 on account of in- |fluenza, it's circulation was almost 25.- 900 books, and its reading room at- tendance over S5,000, which speaks we'll for the literary >inclinations of mining camp.
