When silver dropped recently a great deal of comment was made on the subject and it was taken into con- sideration in the United States Sen ate and Senator Pittman, father of the Pittman act, sent he following ex- planatory wire to the secretary of the Nevada Mine Operators association, at Reno, New, viz:
 Certain newspapers throughout the country are publishing statements to the effect that mines would only accept refined silver under the Pitt man act. This is not true. The mint will accept the ordinary bullion bars as they come from the mills and smelters, as it has heretofore done. Ifbullion contains one one-thousandth part of gold deposit, and the silver in such gold deposit, no matter how small or large in quantity it may be, will be paid for at the rate of one dol lar an ounce for each ounce therein contained of pure silver, or what is termed pure.
 If the bullion contains no gold, but contains six hundred one-thousandth silver, then it will be accepted as a silver deposit, and paid for in the same way. The expression in the act 1000 fine,' measures price paid for silver in bullion and does not control purity of any kind of bullion received.
 ''Mints will make small separation charge-that is separation of silver from other metals in bullion-but this charge is always made by smelters at present time.I have had this mat ter up with director of mint. and he has given orders in accordance here with to all hints receiving silver un- der the Pittman act. Under the mis- construction of act that have refer red to it was charged that only re- liners could take the benefit of the act. This. of course, under proper construction, which I have given, is not true. Tn fact, under Pittman act the necessity of sending silver to smelter and refineries is entirely eli minated. By reason of publication of governments intentions under Pitt man act silver has gone up above a dollar an ounce.
 "Such misconstructions and mis understandings as I have referred to must be publicly corrected or they will be used for purpose of deceivine producers of silver and of bearing it's price. Such misconstructions will also be used unless publicly and com pletely contradicted, 70 assist in pro paganda for repeal of Pittman act.
 "As long as such act remains on the statute books and I can guarantee that it will not be repealed so long as prsent rules of senate exist, Ameri can silver will not sell below a dollar an ounce"

TWO FIRE LAW VlOLATORS
 BROUGHT TO JUSTICl

Albuquerque, N. M, June H. Abandoned unextinguished camp fires proved the undoing of two of Coconino county's citizens recently. The abandonment of the fires, in it. self violation of the Arizona state laws. was further magnified by forest fires of a destructive character which broke out as a result of the neglected embers. This lead to the eventual discovery of the cause of the fires and additional evidence unearthed the culprits
 Fire number one which was left by motor picnic party on an even ing pleasure iaunt out from Flagstaff yielded as evidence a foot print, the tracks of a certain set of tires and a pocket handkerchief with a laundry mark The Forest Service specialist in charge of the fire prevention in that region traced and apprehended the guilty party through the handker- chief, securing a confession, trial and fine and closing the case within 27 hours after the fire lookout man on a nearby peak had reported the fire.
 The second fire resulted from a sheepherder's abandoned camp fire The evidence that clinched the case was finger print on a bar of soap and crtain foot imprint near the camp site In this instance justice was even more swift since the man was arrested, confessed his guilt in trial at Flagstaff paid his fine and was back fighting the fire started by his own carelessness within four hours after the fire lookout man had as oartaipad tha location Of the fire
 Both of the cases were handled by Deputy Supervisor c. w. Mckenzie of the Coconino National Forest.

 Regarding the political situation throughout the state. Mr. Roberts says he finds the Republicans every where greatly dissatisfied with the national ticket and they are hoping that the Democrats will find some solution of the problems that confront the people of the country, and go on record in no upcertain manner as to what fhnir. There is also a disposition among the Democrats of Arizona to get to- gether for victory this fall. and also a considerable amount of criticism of 2 number of state and county central ctsrnstteemea; who were openly fighting the democratic ticket Re garding these the Cochise candidate said, he believes in the right of any one to individually support anyone. 'but that such members of the party can be classed as Benedict Arnolds and should be subject to the gravest ccuSure.
 Speaking of matters of state, MT Roberts said: T believe that matters pertaining to the State Land Depart- ment should be handled in different manner that is at present the custom
 
 should be appointed by the governor. There should be head somewhere, where the blame can be placed, when any differences or Irregularities arise. AS it is at present there is no respon- sible head to the system, with the re- suit that many mu6dles occur, as was evidenced by the recent investign- tfon.
 "As to my record and achievements during my several terms as senator from Cochise county, I stand always firm. l worked for and supported the law giving free text books to the Arizona schools. On taxation of mines. there is no enc who is acquainted with facts but will know what I did toward the equal and just taxation of mines and mine properties in pro portion with other taxes. I sponsored and helped pass me Employers Lia- bllity Law and the Minimum Wage for Women Law, I consider these a re cord that proves my stand op mat ters affecting the public interests

stead and a small tract of land in
connection. A palatial residence, with
every modern convenience, is located
on the homestead, which Mr.. Gilfil-
Ian desires to retain as his country
home
The farm lands are valued at ST.
100000. The land was originally pur-
chased by Mr.. Gilfillan's father, Chas.
D. Gilfillan, about 40 years ago. For
several years much of the land was
used for grazing purposes and vast
barns were erected on the homestead.
Later farming operations were taken
up on a large scale, and when the
more modern methods of farming
made this plan impracticable the tract
was subdivided into small farms and
rented to tenants under the direct
supervision of a business manager
and supervisor. For several years
past G. B. Huschke has acted in this
capacity for Mr.. Gilfillan with head
quarters on the homestead tract

We have been told that there is an
urgent need of an organization of this
kinda crying need for an insurance
company that represents the farmers
and that has their interests at heart
twelve months in the year. Based on
the law of averages 10000 farmers
will lose their crops during 1920. 1t
is probable that you might be one of
the sufferers. Can you afford to take
the risk? What you raise on your
farm represents your business, and
therefore it should be insured. You
should exercise the same care mer-
chants do when they insure their mer-
chandise. They refuse to take a gam
bler's chance. They play safe.

Grated idea of Farm Mutuals, the

100000 farmers under it's banners for
mutual protection. Veteran Farm
Mutual Insurance Men will manage
the officers of the North Star, and it
is bound to succeed. But to make it
complete success it wants the active
interest OF every mutual man, their
full confidence and support.
