Car of UnassOrted
 Ore Brings S2411

PHOENIX, Jan. 3.-A carload of un- assorted ore has netted the Mo Cracken Silver-Lead company $2411. The ore sampled about 73 per cent lead and five ounces silver. The new mill has been running on lower grade ore, but has had to have much ad- justment. Its concentrating capacity has been doubles by the addition of tables.
 George Kingdom and others, of Je- rome, have bonded the Fred Miller gold-spver-lead claims in Thompson's s pass, 1n the Cedar district MT. Miller will have charge of the sinking of the main shaft several hundred feet.
 At Chloride, the Chloride Queen has broken out very rich rock and is exploring what appears to be a very valuable vein. The Hidden Treasure, managed by WHB. Twitchell of Phoe- nix, has received financial support in New York that will permit extensive development.
 A cross-cut on the 170 level of the Buckeye has cut 8 shoot of ore from the companion mine, the, Rural. On both properties much ore is being de Veloped at several points.
 At Oatman, United American has cut the Aztec vein, said to run about S10 a ton, within broad quartz dyke. Some assays have run to, $60 ton.

FAMOUS
 OLD GOLD MINE

MAYER. AriZ., Jan. 3.-The famous old Richenbar gold mine, on the Agua Fria, east of Bnmblebee, is to be worked again by its owners, H. NJ. Meriwether & O., of Kansas City, with 8 force of over hundred men. On the property is a milling plant and other equipment that cost about $25o,000. This is to be operated cleo trically, as the new southern line of the Arizona Power company. on it's way to the Kay mine and Phoenix, passes very near. A long tunnel is to be driven to cut, at 400 feet depth, an ore body described as very large but of low grade. Cordes, on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, is the shipping point.
 Big Blue Copper Is nearing 900 feet in depth, there to start lateral devel- opment on 9 vein of very rich sul. phide that has been followed by the shaft. A new hoist and compressor have been installed.
 Franco-Ameriean has purchased a special gas engine, three-drill com pressor and pumping plant.
 The Bill Arp property, on Turkey creek, has been sold by k P. Ellis of Mayer, under bond, to W. H. Morri- son and B. W. Harris of Mayer. Prop erty is in Black Canyon district. It is an old producer and is said to have 5000 tons of 30ounce silver ore ready for stoping.

ORE REDUCTION
 PLANT CLOSED

RAY, Ariz., Jan~ 2.-The closing of the Ray Hercules reduction plant was not entirely a surprise. It has been known that the works, while of the most modern sort, with direct flota- tion, have needed modification to get closer concentration of the copper ore. The concentrates, while con taining nearly all the copper, have been too bulky. The mine ores are low grade and there is possibility that their profitable handling will need an even larger mill.
 The property has magnificent equipment, with the ore body tapped by a service drift from a main shaft, with skips that dump directly upon a conveyor belt to concrete loading bins.
 Two sections of a private railroad have been built to reach the mill town of Hercules, which has model Deisel power plant and excellent buildings. There has been some dis sension in the corporation and three managers have been known within little more than year.

DEMAND FUR
 BATTERY GROWS

That the dawn of 1920 brings with it an increased demand for the new Prest-O-Lite Green Seal battery has already been brought home to dealers all over southern Arizona in the nun. Der of orders that were placed for early January delivery. The motor ing public, states MT. Kinmon of the McCoy-Kinman company, evidently has accepted the Prest-O-kite; Green Seal as the most logical battery for the modern motor car and has fairly stampeded the market in buying this one make.
 That the inovation of the Green Seal feature was one of the most i'm portant battery developments of the past year is an accepted fact among battery men of the nation. It has put the battery business on a new founda- tion, revolutionary in it's effect, but recognized the greatest improvement since the invention of the storage. battery.
 The green seal principal is simply this. Prest-O-Lite engineers, after careful experimentation, and rigid tests, found that 1t was practical and possible to manufacture the Prest-O- Lite and ship from the factory with, out acid, chemicals or water This is where the name green" comes in. The battery is kept green" until 1t is ready for use. It is virtually made the same day that it is put into your car.
 Before the invention of the Green Seal idea by the Prest-O-Lite engi- neers, these batteries, like all others, were made at the factory filled with , acid and water and shipped to the distributors. The result was that from six to nine months time elapsed between the date of manufacture and the date that the battery was first put into the users car. During all these months that the battery stands idle on the dealers shelf the action of the acid on the plates has a deteriorating affect on the vitals of the battery, which is one of the primary reasons that so many apparently new bat teries wear out" in such a short time. The fact of the matter is that they were six to nine months gone when they first were put in the car.
 AS the motorist learns the distinc. tiOn and superiority of the Presto. Lite Green Seal battery he, of course insists upon this improved battery realizing that it is guaranteed to him by the oldest service to automobile drivers in the United States.

O|L PRODUCTION SHOWS DECREASE Declines in Pipe Line Runs Attributed to Holiday
 Shutdowns

WICHITA FALLS, Texas, Jan. B. Pipe line runs during Christmas week showed a decrease of approximately 10000 barrels daily over runs of pre- vious weeks. The average runs per day total about 1000 barrels. The decrease in production is due to many wells shut down for the holidays.

Progress in Iowa Park has decreased owing to the hol- idays together with considerable bad weather. The Kemp p-Munger-Allen well is swabbing more than 400 bar rels daily, but the production of this well is not accounted for in the pro duction of the field for some unknown reason.
