The entire shipping Board policy
regarding the ALLEGATION OF It's ships
TO private companies for operation
was TO be changed, Admiral Benson
said. Hereafter, ships only VIII be
allocated after the chairman ana the
commi ssioners OF the board had JOINT
ly passed upon the fitness or the ap-
plicant company, to operate Govern
ment vessels.
Propositions are being made to the
Shipping Board by American com
panies to allocate to them twenty

would be operated under the Amer

routes. Under this plan the Amer

ships would use docks OF the Ham

Germ still owns terminals.
Foreign Offers Made.
Admiral Benson indicated that II
the United States did not take this
step foreign interests would. In
formation has been received here that
foreign shipping interests have made
offers to the Hamburg-Ame Line
tc obtain the facilities that had been
offered to the United States.
1t is understood that General George
w. Goethals, President Of the Amer

has discussed the subject and asked
that some of the ships be allocated
to him. The Munson Line and the

C. 1. BECkW|TH LOOKS
 OVER THIS DISTRICT.

c. L. Beckwith, of Phoenix, field man of the Phelps-Dodge corporation, is visiting in Kingman and intends to look over some of the districts be- fore leaving for the coast. MT. Beck with was here few years ago and believes Mohave County has possibil- ities superior to many of the other counties of the state, especially in the production of gold, silver, lead and zinc.
 It is to be hoped that the Phelps Dodge people will come into this field, as all copper producers need diversified mining to keep them in ship shape during depression in the red metal. Many of the large corpor ations have gone into other fields for investment and now when falling markets affect some of their hold ings the other producers keep them on a stable basis. Mohave county offers inducements for big investment in gold and lead and the large op) orators should take advantage of the situation.

PORPHYRY. C0PPERS ' DECREASED EARNINGS

As a result of the falling off in de- mands for metal many of the impor- tant copper companies of the United States, as we'll as the gold and silver corporations of Canada, have either closed down entirely or passed their dividends. This is especially true of the porphyries. Arizona copper min. es have been unusually favored, be- cause of the important additions of gold and silver to their copper output. Phelps Dodge have just paid big dividend, the United Verde paid div idend of $1.25 a share, which is it's quarterly payment, and the c. & A. and Verde Ex. have also paid good sums to their shareholders. Other coppers are maintaining dividends, and while these may not come from copper sales the money is paid from previous earnings. The dividends of Arizona corporations will show lit tie decrease over those of last year, while other states will show marked depreciation, not only of treasuries, but of ore reserves. and future divi- dend possibilities. /

BOTH DRIFTS OF 400
 OF COD IN RICH ORE

The work in the lower levels of the c. O. D. property continues to demon strate the fact that the property will prove one of the most profitable pro ducers in this section of the state. Both drifts at the 400 level still con- tinue in high grade mill ore and the shoot has been continuous both east and west from the shaft. The east drift is now in about 250 feet and the west drift approximately 220 feet. The big Triplex pump is being lower ed to the 400 level and apump station and stump for excess water has been cut. Sinking to the 800 level will be commenced as soon as the pump is in- stalled and it is the intention of the management to go 700 or 800 feet as fast as the work can be done.
 The wonderful showing on the C.. o. D. property is bearing out the pre- dictions of all the old timers who have always considered this one of the big gest and most promising mines in the state.
 The new 125 ton mill is rapidly shaping up and will be entirely hous- ed this week. Practically all of the machinery is on the ground and the work of completion is progressing rapidly.

NOW DRIFTING ON
 $50 LEVEL OF L.X.L.

The station and stump at the $50 level of the I. X. L. property was com- pleted early this week and drifting is now under way to intersect the big ledge at this depth. The ore bodies opened in the upper levels of this property have been highly encourag- ing to the management and that the
 high values will continue at depth is almost assured. The new camp has been installed and is modern and up to date in every respect, being elec-- trically lighted and ideally situated. The I. X. L. property is one of the best equipped mines in the state and much credit is due Supt. G. D. Atlee for the splendid work done in develop ment since the acquisition by the Dudley interests. The I. X. L. vein is one of the widest in this section, some places showing over 40 feet in width, with good values clear across. The opening of the property at lower depth is being watched with much in terest as this property promises to prove one of the largest producers in the state.

UNITED AMERICAN TO SINK SHAFT ON
 RICH ORE SHOOT

After connecting with the Tom Reed drift on the Aztec vein, the management of the United American is cutting a station in the richest part of the big ore shoot and will soon have a winze going downward on the ore to ascertain what the lower depths of the property has to offer. This work will be under way in few days, the station being almost ready for the installation of the air hoist. The drift to the east is now being driven in high grade mill ore, which is mighty pleasing to the manage ment.
 The American has a splendid ore body, reaching from the crosscut on the 66O level to the west end of the claim, and far toward the east. So far as opened it is close to 300 feet in length and about 30 inches wide. The average value is reported to be about $100, some of the ore running high into the thousands of dollars to the ton. With development of this body below the present level, which would be below the ore horizon in some of the other mines, new inn petus would be given the mining game in Oatman.. The ore horizon in the Oatman mines has not been ascertain ed and it is hoped that the new devel- opment in the Reed and American will predicate its depth.
 The fact that rich ore bodies lie to the east of the main Tom Reed ore shoot has changed the opinion of geo. logists as to what constitutes the ore bearing zone in these properties, as well as giving wider scope to their views of ore possibilities in the other properties.

GRANNIS BACK

w. D. Grannis came in from Los Angeles last Wednesday, where he has been looking after important bus mess. MT. Grannis is now getting matters arranged for the operation of his mines near the c. O. D. amd in Deluge Wash. These properties have good showings of gold, silver, copper and lead and considerable work has been done to bring to view the ore bodies. MT: Grannis expects to finance the mines so that work may be prosecuted to productive. stage and to provide for the erection of milling plant to handle the lower grades of ore. The veins are large and the ore bodies so far exposed have potential values.

DRIFTING ON LOWER LEVEL OF GOLD ORE
 TO BE CONTINUED

A. c. Werden, general manager of the Gold Ore, passed through King man a few days ago on his way to the property at Gold Roads. He reports that refinancing of the company has been accomplished and that operations will be resumed at once in the driving of the drift on the lower level. The face of the drift when operations ceased, some months ago, was in fair ly good ore, and it is expected that 40 or 50 feet further driving would bring the heading into the rich ore that shows in the level above. The lower level has disclosed a large tonnage of very rich mill ore and some that will pay we'll to ship direct to the shelter. With further development the mine should soon be producing and paying dividends.

TONOPAH DIVIDE IN
 SULPHIDE ORE BODY

The drifts along the 800 level of the Tonopah Divide have entered some of the best ground that property has ever shown. The character of the ore has changed largely to a sulphide, which is the first time this character of ore has been entered. The new ore runs above $10O per ton and the shoot appears to be extensive. A few months ago, it will be remembered, a report was sent broadcast over the country knocking this property, but the conservative opinion then, as now, was to the effect that the property had a bright future. The opening of the ore on the 800 is in new territory and we believe it will bring in real bonanza.
 The Tonopah Divide was touted too high in the first instance, but that it has real production future is assur- ed and all the knocking that may be given it by the small bore stock gam blers will not hurt it in the eyes of real investors.

EXCHANGE FAVORABLE
 TO CANADIAN MINERS

New York exchange on Montreal has increased 7-8 of one per cent to 15 78 per cent. This premium works to the advantage of Canadian silver mines, their expenses, it is said, be- ing ahead on depreciated Canadian currency and their sales on the stable coin of the United States. Against the foreign" silver quotation of 70 cents the Canadian silver is sold at an advantage of Il cents, which amounts to quite a subsidy. Gold, under the same conditions is sold at premium of about $3.30 per ounce.
 Canada is more favorably situated than the United States on account of the lower wage and lower living costs, while gold is credited with bonus mar ket regulations. Although this con- dition obtains throughout the mining sections of the Dominion Canadian mines have a hard time pulling through, which indicates the greater problem that confronts the mines of the United States. If Canadian gold miners obtain premium for their product, why should the gold produc- CTS of the United States not be assist ed to an appreciable extent.

ASSESSMENT BILL PAST SENATE AND
 HOUSE COMMITTEE

A wire received yesterday by An son H. Smith from Senator Ashurst conveyed the information that the bill extending the time in which to do assessment work for the year 1920 to July 1, 1921, had passed the sen- ate and would undoubtedly pass the house. This bill was introduced for the purpose of relieving the small mine owner from the burden of do- ing the annual work on their mining claims and also to make the end of the fiscal year from July to June 30. This would give the mine owner a pleasant time of the year to wind up their mine work in the mountains, instead of going in to close up this work in tn depth of winter. It may be said that mine owners ought not to await the last minute to do their work, but that has been the custom and it is hard to get away from. The owner is taking the chance of for relief in Easter and Central Flu bond or lease and puts off the fatal hour to the last.
 If the bill meets the approval of majority of the house without change we may expect it to become a law within the next few days.

BUT FOUR LAW SUITS
 COPPER QUEEN RECORD

What is perhaps unique record among the corporations of the state was revealed yesterday after Judge William H. Sawelle, sitting in the United States district court, now in session here, had dismissed the suit of Charles A. Brady against the Phelps Dodge corporation for dam ages claimed because of injuries re- ceived while working as a miner for the Copper Queen branch of the cor poration. The case was dismissed by stipulation of counsel.
 During the eight years from 1912 to the present date, which is also the period during which the federal court for the district of Arizona has been in operation, the Copper Queen branch of the Phelps Dodge corporation has recorded between. 17,000 and 18,000 accidents, big and little, according to M. E. Cassidy, chief of the claims de- partment of the corporation. Of this number all have been settled out of court with the exception of four. Of these, three have been decided in favor of the company and the fourth is now on it's way to the supreme court of the United States. This case has not been contested by the Copper Queen people, but is going to the supreme court because of some unusual law points involved.

MARINE BRINGS IN GOOD ORE

Howard Marine, general manager of the Coconino Copper Mining Company, was in from their mines near the Canyon the first of the week, showing some rich specimens of azur- ite rock taken from the works. Only a few men are working at present on the new shaft, doing preliminary work and preparing the ground for buildings and machinery which they hope to have on the ground early in the spring. He is nightly pleased with the showing so far made and is confident that the shaft will show good all the way down.-Coconino Sun.
