TOWNSHIP OF PARKER
 SELL NUMBER LOTS

A circular issued from the office of the Secretary of the Interior and dat ed the 9th day of August, gives full and complete information relative to the sale of lots in the townsite of Parker, which is to be held in that town or the 9th day of November, 1920, and which is obtainable by writ ing the chief of field division G. L. O.. Santa Fe, New Mexico.
 The people of Parker have been working several years to bring about the sale of the lots in Parker, so that anyone who purchased might begin improvements at once. The lots are desirable, and should the Parker pro- ject go in these lots would at once take on large value. And there ap- pears to be no doubt of the project going through, as the Indian Bureau is pushing matters for the building of a diversion dam above Parker, which will bring into cultivation about 13,OOO acres of rich valley lands, and the possibility of pumping water onto the level mesa lands to the north, east and southwest of the town. This dam would be of immense importance in the event of the build ing of the Boulder Canyon dam, as it would protect the lowlands from flood encroachment.
 It is expected that there will be a large number of bidders for the lots at the forthcominp sale.

DISCUSS ORE RATES

A meeting was held at Tucson last week of all interests in the haulage of ores from mines to shelter, those present being F. R. Raff, of New York, representing the American Smelling and Refining company; F. B. Haughton, traffic manager of the Santa Fe; E. J. Fenchurch, assistant freight agent of the Southern Pacific, and many others interested in. the new tariff put into effect on the various ore roads of the southwest and west. The matter of readjustment of rates was thoroughly gone into and the min ing and smelting interests put up big argument against the promulga- tiOn of the new ore rate. One of the arguments is that mines that have been shipping ores carrying below $25 in values will be hit so hard by the new rate that it will put most of them cut of commission. The costs of cop per mining is estimated conservativ ely at not less than 15 cents per pound, and the lead and zinc ores have costs correspondingly high. If the rate of haulage between mine and shelter is prohibitive there is no chance for either development or ac- tive mining, and therefore the rail roads will lose a big source of rev enue. Ores are the cheapest ma terials to haul and there should be low limit to the haulage costs. The mines are making the. country and it behooves the railroads to protect the mines to get the best possible results from them. A railroad that has to depend on other than ore and material haulages is in bad way as an all- the-year paying investment, and eff fort should be made everywhere throughout the western country to foster the industry that has made the railroads possible.
