BONDS BY
NOCALES
Pertinent Facts Regarding
The Same, With Cogent
Reasons Why They Should
Be Voted

AS a great deal of misinformation
is being "peddled" amongst taxpayers
OF Nogales with regard to the propos-
ed bond issue for municipal purposes,
the following is submitted for infor-
nation of readers of "The Oasis"
Many taxpayers are misled into
the idea that the proposed bond issue
will create a burden of taxation ON
them, and increase their taxes mater
tally. That is not so, and this arti-
Gle is written with the idea of demon
strating to them that such is not the
case.
1t is the intention and determine
tion of large majority of owners of
property along Grand and Morley
Avenues to improve those main lines
Of traffic in our city by hard surfac-
ing-or in other words, pavinS those
streets. That expense will be- borne
altogether by individual property hol-
ders, and not one cent of public mon
ey will be expended for that purpose.
The budget of the City Council
for the fiscal year 1918 calls for
$25 ,596.36 for street maintenance. We
all know that r,ost of the money is
expended in maintenance of those two
principal thoroughfares, Grand and
Morley Avenues. The cost of upkeep
of those two streets consists princi-
pally of dragging them, so they may
withstand the wear and tear of heavy
traffic, and present constantly smooth
level surfaces for easy movement Of
vehicles of all kinds. We're not that
work done by constant going over
the surface with road drags and
sprinklers tho streets would wear
soon into rough, unsightly and danger
Gus ruts and inequalities, that would
impede traffic to the damage Of
automobiles and all vehicles of what
soever nature. All that will be eli-
minated when the streets are paved.
Failure of the proposed bond issue
would terminate all hope of paving
the streets named; and if they are to
be paved it will be- necessary to lay
adequate water mains, before doing
so, as outlined by Chief Bracey Cur
tbs, of the Nogales Fire Department.
That will be necessary even before
contemplating laying pavements. If
bonds are voted and water mains pro-
vided, following by paving the two
streets, an annual saving of at least
$4,000 will be made in upkeep Of
those two thoroughfares. That would
be quite an item toward interest on

QUES TION'
Perhaps Several, About The
Treatment Accorded To
Their Citizens In The
United States
UNITED Press Servicel

WASHINGTON, January g.
According to unofficial advices from
Mexico City Mexico has protested to
the government of the United States
against alleged murder and mistreat-
ment of her citizens in this country.
While formal comment is withheld
for the time being, it is learned that
officials of the State Department look
upon this as a new move in Mexican
policy, basing it upon ''tit for tat"
propaganda. launched with an evident
intention of prolonging diplomatic ne
gotiations, if possible putting this
government on the defensive.
The Mexican government, so it is
stated, has alleged that Mexican
section hand was killed in Texas last
month, and that a Mexican family of
three was murdered at farrell, Tex
as, and the slayers have not been pun
ished.
Mexico's next step is expected to
claim that Texas is in a state Of law
lessness, but under control of the fed
eral government-to "get revenge" for
Secretary Lansing's charge that large
areas of Mexico are under control of
bandits.
1t is reported from credible author
ity that Ambassador Bonillas of Mex
leo, will inquire from the State De-
partment why Carlos Metendos, a
Mexican, was detained and searched
by American agents at New York,
while en- route to Chile. Mexicans say
they have heard the United States
government claims that Metendos was
commissioned to negotiate Mexican
Chillenean alliance. Mr.. Bonillas will
probably call on Secretary Lansing
soon to ask explanations in the Meten-
dos matter.

AR|zONA'S s
OF
METALS IN
PAST YEAR
Production Showed A De.
crease Of About Forty
Per Cent, Due To Low
Price Of Copper

The output of gold, silver, copper
lead, and zinc from the mines in Ariz.
ona in 1919, according to the estimate
of Victor C. Heikes, of the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, had a total value of
about $1O8,7O7 900, a decrease of
s93, ,427 $50.
There was a decrease in both the
quantity and value of all these metals,
but the largest decrease was that in
copper. During the first part of the
year, there was marked curtailment
of output, and in the Verde district
labor troubles closed the mines for
nearly four m nths. During the last
three months of the year many Of
the large companies again curtailed
production as result Of market con-
ditions.
The production of gold fro mthe
mines in Arizona decreased from S.
435,027 in 1918 to about $4,231 900 in
1919. This decrease, which amounts
to $1,204, 900, was result of the gen.
eral curtailment in the production of
copper ore. More than half the out
put of gold from Arizona came from
the gold ores of the San Francisco
district of Mohave county, though
there was decrease from this source
as well as from the copper ores. The
United Eastern Company, remained
the largest producer of gold in the
state, and the Tom Reed Company,
continued it's large output. The Cop
per Chief mine, in the Verde district,
and the Gold Road mine, at Oatman,
were idle.
The mine output of silver decreased
from 6,686,152 ounces in 1918 to about
4,927,00 ounces in 1919. In spite of
the increase in the price of silver the
value of the output decreased from
$6,686,152 to about $5,479,800.
The largest producers of silver were
the Calumet & Arizona, Copper Queen
United Verde. Magma, and United
Verde Extension mines. Besides the
copper mines, the largest producers
of silver were the Bunker Hill mine
ar Tombstone and the Commonwealth
mine at Pearce.
The output of copper decreased
from 7S4,855,874 pounds in 1918 to
about 522,000,O00 in 1919, a decrease
of nearly 80 per cent. The value of
the output decreased from $188,919,-
401 in 1918 to about sos, 8,296, 900
in 1919, and the average price of
copper decreased from 24.7 cents to
about 1888 cents pound. There
was decrease in the output of each
of the smelling plants in the state,
except the United Verde Extension
smelter at Verde. At Miami the
output of the international plant was
close to the record of 1918. The
Shannon smelter at Clifton was clos
ed in January, and the plant at Sasco
was closed early in the year. At Ajo
the New Cornelia Copper Company,
continued the teaching of copper ore,
but its output was reduced 25 per cent
