WILL SEEK H|CHCRADE
 IN OLD RAWH|DF MINE

Tony Hill and Matt Kari yesterday took over the old Rawhide mine under lease and bond from Frank Coter.
 This property is one of the oldest in this part of Arizona, having been worked in the early sixties. Since the writer came to Mohave county the mines were operated by leasers unG thousands of dollars taken out. The ore was wonderfully rich in silver and copper, the values running up as high as 4000 ounces to the ton. Some handsome specimens of malachite were taken from the mine, much of which went into jewelry. The coun- try in and around the Rawhide is faulted and Assured and it was oW- ing to the failure to trace out the fault system that the mines were fin ally abandoned, although the low price of silver had something to do with it. After the discovery of the mines they were disposed of to San Francisco people who operated them for quite time, but fault in the main vein lost them the ore and they concluded that the vein was of the gash variety and quit. Later leasers went in there and took out many thousands of dollars, but they failed to pick up the faulted vein. Under the management of Hill and Kari we feel sure that this property will again become one of the important produ- cers of the south end of the county. The mines are situated close to the Bill Williams Fork, in the Owens mining district, and it is in this dis trict that the richest copper in the state is to be found. Careful inves- tigation of the ground will surely bring to light much more of the won. derful ore that made hte mine one of the best known properties in the state.

LARGE INCREASE IN 1920 SILVER OUTPUT

That silver will show large de crease during the year 1920 is indi- cated in the offerings to the treasury departments during the 10 months just passed. The estimate of 51,000,- 900 ounces for the year will be con- siderably above the production, and the amount that the government will be asked to purchase will be quite small. So far this year 24,OOO 900 ounces have been bought, leaving about 1S5 100000 ounces of new silver to be brought into existence Only a small amount of important silver has been received above the amount exported. The Far East has no eX- cess silver and would be in the mar , ket if England would let the busi- ness of that country free to buy and absorb all the white metal cit needs for home consumption. Silver should be one of the most important of the money metals of the world, and is sure to have this distinction thrust upon it some day. An international agreement will be necessary to bring this about, and the lack of hard money in many of the countries of the world is sure to create desire for it's re- mobilization. As long as England can derive benefit from keeping silver in the background, just so long will she use every force available to keep it from the hints at any agreed ratio. But the day is coming when the peo- pie will 'have to sidestep England's dog-in- n-the-manger policy and take care of their own mintages in their own way. The United States needs a greater amount of basic money and any time this country makes up it's mind to adopt the double standard sil- yer will come into it's own, even if all the countries of the world are against the measure.

A NEW WRINKLE IN
 MINES PROMOTION

A bunch of negroes have taken over the Comobabi mines, in Pima county, and have organized mining company known as the Comobabi Consolidated Mining company with 5,O00,OOO one dollar shares. It is to sell these shares only to colored people and have asked a permit of the corpora tion commission to sell the shares. The mines are old properties and have been in the limelight in years gone by. The men at the head of the con- cern are taking up matter that was attempted some years ago, that of organizing the colored people into various production companies, espec- ially that of raising cotton and man. ufacturing cotton products. The men at the head of the original promotion scheme did not have the confidence of the people and it fell through. It
 is now the purpose of the Negroes themselves to carry through some of the projects.

ARIZONA IS SOME STATE

That the State of Arizona is getting along in the big class is evidenced by the fact that last year it cost $12,- 912,302 to conduct it's affairs. It was only few years ago that $500,000 covered all the expenditures for the state government, but Arizona is growing and so is its state necessities. With the development of our great resources Arizona will be able to meet many more millions of governmental expenses, especially in the maintenan- ce and upkeep of schools and good roads, as we'll as the development of water power and such other improve ments as are found necessary for our internal economy.

SLU|C|NC PLACER
 GROUND ON RIVER

E. A. Shaw returned Thursday night from a trip to the Sandy Har- ris placer mines near the mouth of Jumbo Wash, in the Black Canyon section. Shaw and Harris have in stalled large pumping plant at the river and have been getting the plant ready for the sluicing of the ground, lying some distance above normal water stage. He brought with him a small sample of the gold that is be- ing recovered from the placers, that shows the same characteristics of the nuggets that Mr. Harris found in these gravel banks number of years ago. The promoters of the proposi- tion expect soon to be able to handle a large yardage of the gravel and feel sure that the saving will be close.
 The Harris placers are about so miles northwest of Kingman and in a heavily mineralized section of the Black Canyon range. While some en- gineers have been of the opinion that the deposit was glacial in origin it is our opinion that the erosion of the country was the source of all gold de- poSits throughout the river ranges. Above the placers are a number of important gold veins, the Jumbo car rying gold in heavy nuggets. These nuggets could easily be rounded into the form that they are found in the Harris placers by the elements.
 There is an enormous amount of gold bearing ground in that region and if the present plant is a success it is quite probable that many other plants will be installed. Of course, the Harris placers show the heaviest | gold of any of the deposits along the river, which makes that ground far more attractive than any other, but there may be many oth- CTS like it and the prospector should l, not overlook that section when he goes out with his gold pan to hunt for placer claim.
 Sumner Beecher, who is interested in the placers, accompanied MT. Shaw )n the trip.

HENRY LOV|N RECE|VERu
 FOR BLACKBERRY CON.

In the matter of the application of the creditors of the Blackberry Con solidated Mines company for a receiv- CT for that corporation, Judge Bollin- ger, in the superior court yesterday morning appointed Henry Lovir re- ceiver and it was agreed by counsel for the various interests that tease
 be given to William Neagle on the mines, under the terms of which Mir
 Neagle was to keep the mine unwater- ed and pay certain stipulated royal ty. The receivership grew out of tn; failure of Los Angeles parties to rec- oncile the various interests in the Blackberry and take over the mines in a new corporation and to properly finance further development.
 The Blackberry has big bodies of ore that can readily be extracted and shipped to the shelter, and just now smelters are in the market for the character of ore that this mine is cap able of supplying A large tonnage of rich ore is now opened up in the upper levels of the mine and big bod ies of mill ore have been opened in other parts of the property. It has always been the opinion of the mining editor that greater depth would bring in one of the richest properties in the state, especially when the vein strengthened up against the big dike that traverses the Peacock range from north to south. Mir. Neagle has had large experience with the Blackberry mine and under his direction the lease should become very remunerative.
 It is to be hoped that the affairs of the Blackberry Con- may soon be adjusted and that a company capa- ble of handling it on a large scale will take it over and operate it as it should be. It has the ore and at the greatest depth reached still shows big ore bodies. Its development means the development of other properties in the same neighborhood that would be aided largely by the influence of the old company in financial circles, es- pecially when it brought in a big Few mines in the state have a better opportunity for success than the old Blackberry and investors should look into it carefully before going elsewhere.

NEW ARIZONA OBSERVATORY

An observatory has been built and is in operation in the Harqua Hala mountains, northern Yuma county which is said to be giving the best results of any observatory in the world. The institution was erected by the Smithsonian Institution of Wash ington, D. c. The object of this ob- servatory is to work in conjunction with the big observatory on Mount Whitney in Chile, which has been get ting important solar photographs and locating many new planets. Owing to the clearer atmosphere in Arizona it is thought that far better results will be obtained, especially during lunar eclipses.

MESA BOYS CHASE
 AWAY LINK: DEFEAT
 PHOENIX ROAMERS

MESA, April 12.-The Mesa Inde- pendents shook their pal. Old Man Hard Luck, yesterday. and likewise shook up their team. battery. infieid and outfield with the result that they played sterling ball and scored a vic tory, 14 to over the Phoenix Roam CTS. Old Man Hard Luck apparently deserted the Mesa boys to camp with the Roamers, and never did he get far enough away from them to let a Roamer roam beyond third base, and but once that far.
 It was q mediocre contest. The Phoenix boys were late in arriving and their team at the last minute was de- pleted by the absence of several of their regular men, getting away to d poor start that couldn't be overcome.
 Dick Lush. opening the game in the box for Mesa, pitched six innings and allowed single hit. His port sided delivery proved a problem that the opponents couldn't solve. Dutch Stap- ley, replacing him for the balance of the game, went his equal, allowing but one hit Too, Stapley put one out in, center field that was good for homer. stumbled half way between third and home and retraced his steps to third requiring the scorekeeper to call it but triple. Reynolds, playing second for Mesa, after getting away bad in two previous games, poled out triple and a single yesterday
 Mesa's big game comes next Satur- day, when the famed Boston Bloorner girls, girls and a man battery and short stop, come here for a contest. Already the Mesa management counts on an attendance of at least a thousand out Tor the game. and if a proposed plan to close the stores during the course Of the game goes through the attendance will probably be doubled.
