Over Continent Car is Relayed
From Driver to Driver


= From Driver to Driver
A FEW weeks ago an Overland
IA dealer down in Arizona sug-
gested an entirely new kind of
trip for a motor, car. He said,
Lets have the distributors and
dealers clear across the continent
relay stock Overland automobile
from driver to driver on a contin-
uous trip, and see what the car
will do"
At first the idea was scoffed at,
as every man who knows automo-
biles knows that under such hand
ling no car can be reasonably ex-.
pected to perform even up to its
normal requirements. But on sec
ond thought, it was decided that
a trip like this would be the best
kind of test that could possibly be
given, as it would show not the
best that a car could perform,
but the best that could be expect
ed under the most adverse condi-
lions.

0NE of the remarkable things
~ about the trip was the low oil
consumption. And the car went
across, not on cord tires such as
are normally used for this kind of
trip, but on standard Fisk fabric
tires.
The standard Tillotson carbure-
tor, and the standard Auto-Lite
generator system and u. S. l..
batteries wer used. The car was
a standard car with absolutely no
, reinforcements throughout.

the detour was found.
Lets try to average 20 miles
an hour clear across" was the sug-
gestion of the Overland dealers.
"But that means driving 35 to 40
miles an hour part of the time"
was the objection, "and you can't
get gasoline economy at t n a t
speed" But 20 miles an hour was
decided upon.

The,Most WelcomeTire
.a That Ever.Came to Market ~
Men Who Appreciate SuperLue Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: 'How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.1
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
noted as a leader in every
Zine it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"A perfect tire is simply matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skirnping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes a brilliant staff
Of technical experts. Not a man
Americus times-recorder., 1920-03-17

among them has spent less than
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is master of his craft.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is combs
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards Of manu-
facture.
The result is super-tire, Ihe like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than like-type tires.
Try ONE Brunswick. We prom
Use a surprise. And we feel certain
that you will want ALL Bruns-
wicks.
Then good tires win have a new
meaning to you.

SANTORIA FOR
SERVICE men
ARE sought

In response to request received
recently at national headquarters of
the American Legion from DR.. Rupert
Blue, surgeon general of the United
States public health service, the as
sistance Of the state and local organ.
izations of the American Legion will
be enlisted in locating sanatoria for
the treatment of tubercular ex-service
men.
In his letter to Franklin D'Olier
national commander of the American
Legion, Surgeon Blue said:
Il desire to invite your attention to
the present situation with regard to
the hospital care and treatment of
tubercular discharged soldiers and
sailors ty the public health service.
"As you know, several hospitals are
now being operated by the public
health service for the treatment OF
tubercular patients, beneficiaries OF
the bureau of war risk insurance, and
comprehensive plans for the construc.
ton of additional hospitals ar being
carried into execution as rapidly as
possible. In addition, many tubercu
lar patients are being hospitalized by
contract with local institutions, an al
lowance having been authorized for
the purpose at rate not to exceed
SO per day, including all necessary ex
penses.
ut is, of course, difficult proceed
ure to construct suitable hospitals fo1
the treatment of this class of cases
on such short notice, and it is he
lieved to be a wise measure and foI
the best interests of the patients in g
great many cases to arrange for their
care and treatment in public and pri
vate institutions situated near then
homes. The situation has become
quite urgent with respect to the care
of tubercular patients in the imme
diate future, and it is believed that
the American Legion, through it,
state and local organizations, can be
of great assistance to the public
health service by aiding us in locating
sanatoria which will conform in every
way to the best modern medical
standards.
eve are appealing to you in this
way for your direct cooperation in
the great work of properly caring fol-
discharged men in order that there
may be no possible delay in making
provision for the care of these un
forunates in the near future"

Due to curtailment in production
the average for the year not being
over 70 per cent of capacity-and the
desire to keep workmen employed in
as large numbers as possible, copper
costs have necessarily risen.
Calumet & Hecla will show final
cost of something over 18 cents per
pound; Allouez will average close to
p cents; Ahmeek's figure will be
20 cents All these figures are actual
output costs and include nothing for
depreciation, depletion or any reser-
vation for excess profits taxes.
Isle Royale was the exception to
the rule in the Calumet family last
year. It's cost will fall inside 1914
cents per pound, which augurs well
for still lower figure when produc-
ton once gets back to 100 per cent

CASA GRANDE FIVE
BESTS LOCAL BOYS
IN BASKETBALL TILT

Last Saturday the basketball team
OF the Casa Grande high school came
to Ray to play the local high school
team.
The visiting boys, with their coach,
Prof. Hunt, were entertained at lunch
and at dinner at the Teachers club
At 8 P. M. the game was called at
the basketball court on the ball park
A nice crowd occupied the grand
stand and rooted for their side and
showed their appreciation of every
good play of both sides.
This was the first game played by
the local boys this year with an out
of-town team and although the Casa
Grande boys were too much for them
and won by score of 20 to 10, the
local boys showed that they have it
in them to make a winning team
They have started in vigorous sys-
tenn of practice and expect to give a
good account of themselves when they
visit Florence next week and go on
to Casa Grande for the return game.
Saturday evening the girls of the
Ray high school entertained the bas-
ketball teams and some of the young
friends of the school in a we'll planned
social affair at the school, Those who
came over from Casa Grande were
Horace Bayne, Abraham Cruz, Everett
Siegrist, Alva Weaver, Ricardo CurieI,
David Hill and Prof. Hunt.
The Casa Grande bunch were gen.
tlemanly and congenial and made
many friends in their short stay. The
local boys will be glad to play Casa
Grande at basketball any time, but
if as fine bunch comes the next time
the worry is not SO much who wins
at basketball as who scores highest at
the high school girls party

pay visit to Ray about February
1st. According to present plans he
will arrive in Phoenix January goth,
reaching Ray day or two later.

ARIZONA COMMERCIAL
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

BOSTON.-Running on the average
at but SO per cent capacity for the
entire twelvemonth, Arizona CONNER
cial produced approximately 100000
pounds of copper in 1919, or just
little less than the preceding year.
Since the first of January year ago
the cOmpany's ore has averaged over
5R per cent copper, which greatly
assisted in keeping per-pound cost
down, particularly when production
was curtailed to such an extent.
Although little early for complete
accounting, it is estimated that Ari-
zona Commercial "made" its metal in
1919 for inside IA cents per pound.
The company has been concentrating
on extraordinary development work
all year, including construction of a
new shaft to tap the 14th level, and
this extraneous charge has added over
one cent per pound to cost of produc
ton. Including this, however, the
company's cost will compare favor
ably with the rest of the country's
producers and permitted it to earn a
profit on it's 265,0OO shares outstand-
ing.
Arizona Commercial entered 1920
with about three months production
unsold This means that the six
months output, or roughly, 3,500,000
pounds of copper, which it had un-
sold at the end of 1918, has been all
sold and in addition Is per cent of
the 1919 copper output disposed Of
This unsold metal, however, is in no
way burdensome.
At the present time Arizona Com
mercial has a greater tonnage of high
grade ore in reserve than at any time
in it's history. Based on the known
ore blocked out and ready for extrac-
ton, the company has reserves suffi-
cient to last it over five years, even
allowing for an increase in the rate
of production to 100000 pounds Of
copper a month.
Just as soon as the copper market
shows signs of progressive frmness
Arizona Commercial will increase pro-
duction. It's new shaft should be fully
equipped and in operation by early
summer which will then permit an
output of 100000 pounds of copper
a month with no difficulty. Even
with present facilities, the company
could, on a pinch, push production to
100000 pounds month provided its
sister property, the Old Dominion Co.,
has sufficient capacity in its reduc-
tion works
