Mining Development
by Local Company
Mining and Development Com
pany Start Work in Earnest
on johnson Property

Word has been received at the
local office of the Mining and De-
velopment Corporation that they
have been made a party to the
lease of the Dragon Northern rail-
road, running from Dragon, %
miles east of Benson. on the main
line of the Southern Pacific, north
ward to Johnson, the location of
the company's properties, and that
two cars were spotted at the ore
bins of the Copper Chief for load
ing Thursday morning.
The Mining and Development
Corporation is composed of local
men and has a ten-year lease of
the Copper Chief mine at Johnson,
For the last several months the
work done has only been in the
nature of development. but as three
ore bodies were encountered soon
after work was started, most of the
work was done in ore.
Some time ago shipment to the
Douglas snelter was commenced,
but inasmuch as the ore could not
be transported by rail, due to the
road being under lease to the Ar1-
zona United Mines, it was neces-
sary to purchase trucks to trans
port the ore to the Southern Pacific
railroad. AS was reported in the
Signal some time ago, three front
wheel drive trucks were purchased
in Ell Paso and shipment started
from Cochise. Due to the rains the
roads were in very bad condition,
and trucking was necessarily slow.
Now that transportation can be
made by rail, leading direct from
the property. shipment will be
greatly increased.
There are some twenty cars of
shipping ore on the platform at
the present time, and this will be
sent forth at the rate of one to two
cars a day until the surplus is
cleaned up.
As soon as a car of fuel oil can
be obtained the power plant will
be put into operation. This will in
crease the cost of production and
decrease the cost of extraction.
There is enough ore in sight to
warrant the shipment of car a
day for the next few months, and
with the copper contents sufficient
to allow good profit at the present
price of copper, there is thought
to be no doubt that the Mining and
Development Corporation will soon
be in the list of regular dividend
payers.

Benson-Vail Road Work

The State Highway Department
has issued a call for bids for four
miles of the Benson-Vai1 Highway,
this being the section commencing
at the west line of Cochise county
and extending eastward four miles
toward Benson. Plans arid specif-
cations for this section, as we'll
as for the section extending from
the Mescal Wash in Pima county
to the Cochise county line have
been submitted to the Bureau of
Public Roads for approval. After
this approval is received work can
be started on these two sections,
the section in Cochise county to be
done by contract, the section in
Pima county may be done by the
State Highway Department, by
force account.
In the BensonVail project will
be bridge crossing Cienega creek
and the Southern Pacific Railroad
with an overhead crossing. Plans
are now practically completed for
this bridge, and for the remainder
of the highway. However, some
details in the location have not
been definitely determined, and for
this reason the State Highway De-
partment decided to start construc-
ton as soon as possible on that
part which has been definitely To-
Gated. The subdivision of this work
into small units will permit local
contractors to compete with out
siders.
This Benson Vail section is a
link in the through highway ex-
tending from the New Mexico line
at Rodeo, through Douglas. Bis
bee, Tombstone, Benson, Tucson,
and Florence. to Phoenix, and
thence to Yuma. With the COM
pletion of the Benson-Vail high
way a frst-class road will be avail
able from a point several miles east
of Douglas to Tucson. 1t is ex-
pected that the entire project will
be completed within a year. The
new location is radical departure
from the present road from Tucson
to Benson. 1t will leave the pres
ent state highway at point about
three miles southeast of Vail, run
ming thence in a southeaster1y di-
rection, crossing the Cienega creek
and the Southern Pacific railroad
at Irene, and thence almost on
direct line to Benson. This loca-
ton is over much better ground
than the old road and furnishes
frst-class surfacing material, be-
sides eliminating several crossing
of treacherous washes.
The plans for the remaining Sec
tons will be completed in another
month and work will be started
Immediately on their approval by
the Bureau of Public Roads.

Benson u. of A. Boy
Strong in Debate
Louis Kempf Takes Part in Dis
cussing Relations of Labor
and Capital, in Tucson

Louis R. Kempf, of Benson, a
student, at the University, ad-
dressed the Tucson Central Trades
Council on the subject of compul-
sorry arbitration of industrial dis
putes, Wednesday evening, Decem-
Der 10th. He was one of the four
speakers invited to debate before
the council on that evening, and
he presented the negative side of
the question: Resolved, That the
matter of wages and working con-
ditions in the steel, railroad and
coal industries of the United States
should be submitted to a legally
constituted board of arbitration.
AS preliminary to the debate,
A. D. Froelke and c. w. Finney
gave summary of the arbitration
systems now enforced in Australia
and Canada. In conclusion, they
analysed the degree of success
which these systems had achieved.
A correspondent writes:
Mr. Kempf presented the first argument.
His speech centered about the point that
since all tribunals in the past have been
controlled by the capitalistic class, there
can be no hope for fair decision for la
Dor from such courts. For that reason, he
stated. he was opposed to compulsory ar
bitration. In support of this striking state
ment the speaker quoted President Will
sons speech at Turin, Italy, in which he
said: THE plans Of the modern world are
made in the counting houses. The men
that do the business of the world now
shape the destinies of the world, and peace
or war is now in a large measure in the
hands of those who conduct the commerce
OF the world. A country is owned and
dominated by the capital that is invested
in it."
Mr.. Kempf concluded by stating that so
long as this condition prevailed it is bet
ter for the Iaborers to retain the power
which they have gained by the strike.
This speech was received by the Trades
Council in sympathetic attention. and was
given generous applause.
The affirmative of the question was pre-
sented by Rev. Mr.. Haase, of the Metho-
dist Church. Tucson. His plea was based
on the immediate necessity for some plan
which would end the bitterness and loss
caused by the present form of settling in
dustrial disputes. He made no direct an
swer to the points presented by his oppo-
nent.
Louis Kempf is a graduate of
Benson High School, and has been
attending the State University at
Tucson for the past three years.
He is studying for degree in the
law department and is taking an
active part in University debates.

AFRAID OF ICE CREAM
French Children Taste New Dish
and Cry, ut Is Hot"
But Young France Soon Learns to Like
II and Hangs About American
Camps.

Paris.-1ce cream Is a new dish
to the Inhabitants Of France.
Some of the big city jewellers may
have had passing acquaintance with
It. but the rural folk and those in the
villages saw their first ice cream made
in the American army camps.
Many Of the permanent American
camps In the service of supplies have
made ice cream regular feature. the
regimental canteens turning out the
frozen delicacy for several hundred
men.
The introduction of ice cream to
the French peasant children has been
productive of much. amusement to the
American troops. The youngsters think
it is hot. ~. t.- =, .e e.
One of the men Of an engineer regt.
ment took mess kit full of Ice cream
to a French farmhouse. One Of the
small boys took big teaspoonful. A
look Of panied amazement came over
his face, and. emptying his mouth Of
the frozen cream. he ran screaming
to the protection Of his mother's
skirts crying: "Chaud! Chaud r
(HOt! HotD
The other children who had watched
rather hOrrOr-stricken the fate of the
first became convinced that the ice
cream was some sort of white fire
and they would have nothing to do
with it. The mother had to eat virtu-
ally all Of the cream In order to in
duce them that it was cold rather
than hot and that when not taken too
fast was good to eat. Eventually. the
children ate the last of the dish. But
they partook of it gingerly, evidently
greatly mystifled that anything which
first seemed hot then cold could be
good to eat. ! ~
But In time the kids got to liking
ice cream and they became as great q
nuisance around the camps asking for
ice cream az they had been before
in seeking chewing gum.
