WEEKLY WEATHER

PHOENIX, June l6.-Local sum- mer showers made their appearance in the southern part of the district an don the summer ranges and were of great benefit. Reports to the weather bureau indicate favorable conditions of stock and range except on the northeastern plateau, where rain is much needed. The supervisor of the Tusayan national forest re- ports that although the spring was backward, both the grama and bunch grass types are in excellent condition. Practically all cattle and sheep have reached their summer ranges and their condition is above the average. Fol lowing favorable conditions of grass and weather and in accordance with expectations, the crop is the largest in years. The water supply is hold ing up well in nearly all parts of the district except in parts of Apache and Navajo counties.
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 Cotton has made fine progress in all parts of the state; night tempera- lures have been slightly below nor nal, but for short periods only, near the early morning, while day tenn peratures have been ideal for the plants best development. Favorable conditions of soil and weather havt prevailed above the lower valleys, and corn, wheat and oats look promising Where facilities are at hand, an un- usual acreage of corn has been plant ed for silage. Last years successful crop has encouraged many to adopt it for supplementary feeding purposes. The orange crop in the Salt River valley is said to be small, but the fruit large and of fine appearanCt. No dropping has yet been reported, ow- ing probably to the absence of cx- tremely high temperatures. Grape fruit arc reported to be normal as to size and quantity. The apricot crop which was greatly reduced by high winds early in the season--is of eX- ccllent quality and the fruit large.

CLIMATE: AN OPPORTUNITY

The Prescott hotels arc feeling the influence of the large number of peo- pie coming from all over the country to summer in Prescott. The fact gradually spreads over the country that this is all iedal place to summer.
 c. H. Williamson and family are here from Ray, and the climate suits them so perfectly that they Say some one is overlooking a real bet when they allow a place like this to go along without a tourist summer ho- tel. They point to other places no better situated which have been made famous by their climate because pco- pie took advantage of the natural con- ,ditions and provided quarters for those who would enjoy them. They predict that some of these days some- thing ike that will happen in the Mountain City.

TOMLINSON SAYS
 BACKING ORE TO SHIP

Ed L. Tomlinson is in the city from the camp of the Dos Oris Silver Min ing company. He says his company is saciling ore ready for shipment and is planning to have the ore packed out by burros a distanct oi AZ miles. However, if the county road can be repaired out as far as the NC-4 Silver Mining company road fork, they can ship their ores much cheaper by packing them only one fourth of a mile.
 The Dos Oris company has estab- lishcd new camp and has three houses and burro stables and corrals and are planning an office and assay office for the near future. The horse whim is already installed on the Bug gard shaft and the high grade is com ing out. He exhibits some samples of excellent shipping ore, carrying mainly silver values, with a high per centage of lead.
 The NC-4 company is now drifting at the 75-foot level toward the old proven ore shoots, and well posted miners, disinteresttd in the company, who have recently examined the prop erty, admit that the drift should open up stope of practically 75 feet of ore as good as and probably better than the ores taken from the mine on the upper levels.
 l Harrington Blauvelt is having a lot of stulls cut and hauled to his prop erty adjoining the NC-4 on the west and hopes to be operating on a sub stantial basis not later than the first of July.
 The bPard of supervisors have as- sured the operators of the district that the road will be put in better shape at the earliest possible moment In order that the public may be able to get over the roads for the summer traffic, and to get to and from tht Frontier show, the main roads must be fixed tip, and as soon as this is far enough along the Jersey Lily and other feeder roads will be given duo attention. This is very gratifying to the people interested in the smaller districts

SHELTERS MOVE ID GET . SILVER PRODUCED IN J. 5.
 ON PITTMAN ACT BASIS

The following important communi- cation sent out by the Fl Paso Smell ing Works was read at the meeting of the chamber of commerce Thurs day night. The organization went on record favoring the suggestions out lined in this communication and wires have been sent to Arizona's congress sional delegation, despite the fact that Congress has adjourned.
 ''In connection with the very rapid decline in the price of silver and the possible purchase of silver by inc United States government under the Pittman act, it will probably be eSsen- tial that each offering of silver to the United States government De accom- panied by sworn statement showing the origin of the silver to be entirely within the United States.
 Apparently, any silver coming from foreign countries will be cx- cluded from purchases under the Pitt man act.
 We arc today in receipt of the following telegram from our New York office:
 We arc working out with govern mcnt details through which govern mcnt will purchase silver as provided for in Pittman act. Undoubtedly, price ultimately to be paid will be Sl per ounce, less adjustment for fine ness and less cost of delivery to mint which government will designate, es- innate at about five-eighths of one cent per ounce. It will probably take government some time 10 finally get matter adjusted through various de- partnentS. Meanwhile. we suggest that m cases where you can secure certificates of production in the United States that you make pre- linlinary settlement on basis of regu- lar New York quotation, with inc un- derstanding that as soon as thc gov ernment matter Is settled VIC will ad just price 50 that miners will get equivalent of mint price, which will probably be 99 $ cents per ounce, minimum; always provided that we l arc enabled to sell this silver to gov crnhent under the arrangement indi- cated.

To the Editor of the Journal Miner: Sir: You will see by the accom- panying letter that wrote few lines for my old friend Orick, which I have often done before, and not knowing of his demise, l regret that did not learn of it sooner, and that could not be there and of some use to him while yet alive However, we must all go the same way when our time comes, and poor old Orick did the best he could to make things go right while alive So we will assume there is nothing for us to regret which has not all been settled by this time.

ARIZONA CITY" PASSES
 INTO MEMORY

Arizona City is no more. Where is Arizona City, did you say? It is the town built by the George E, Treadwell interests in early days near Mayer There was a narrow-gauge railway, shops, and mines and every thing
 Yesterday saw the two dinky en- zines on board a flat car on their way out of the country. They were headed for Los Angeles, where they will be put in shape and be ready for use somewhere. They are pow erful little engines and hauled big loads in their day.
 Arizona City never did reach up to the hopes and ambitions of its originators. But it did have a pretty name. Where could you beat it? Arizona City Just thing how it sounded to have lusty voiced brake man shout it out on the plains just as you entered it. Once upon time a stranger passing through toward Crown King rushed out on the plat form at Arizona City and asked, "Is this the suburbs of the city, and how far is it to the main part of the city? Have they union depot?"
 He was much chagrined when he was told he was then in the heart of the city. He said western folks did such funny things. But the passen- gers explained that the place had been named little too soon and that in the future, when the Old Hack berry, the Pentland, the Old Boggs and other coming great copper mines were developed, that they would sure ly have a city there and that there would be no joking about it. But the stranger failed to visualize even in the balmy ozone of Arizona City, that metropolis of the future. The Ari- zona man insisted that copper mines especially are not found on top of the ground, and that the future would surely unroll the curtain that ob- scured the strangers vision, and that the "city," whether by that name or another, would one day be seen in that section. And maybe he spoke wiser than he knew. Stoddard, the Blue Bell, the Copper Queen Gold, the Pocahontas and a score of others have been developed and are being developed, and that city, which is springing into existence as a result, is to be Mayer, seemingly.
 And for the present it is "exit" Arizona City. The last vestige of that place ,the old house in which the two little engines stood for years, is to be razed to the ground and hauled away to build sheds, etc, at another point, and soon there will not be even the superficial sign that one day there lived small town of 300 people.

BICYCLE RIDERS WILL
 COMPETE FOR PRIZES

There will be real old-faslliOned bicycle road race during the Frontier Days celebration, with the start in front of the "Journal-Miner" office, and the route probably cut to Groom Creek and back.
 There arc many bicycle riders in Prescott ,and the visit of the bicycle missionary Of the cycle trades of America, Charles Fuller Gates, has stirred up interest in the cycling sport as the cycle trades of America has decided to send a set of fine prizes 10 this city for a series of bicycle races al the fair next fall and also supply prizes for a bicycle race dur ing the boy scouts county gathering and field day in the fall.
 All over the country bicycle racing is coming back, and over in Califor- mia bicycle races have been run this year in over score of towns since the first of the year. and number of these places have staged a second or third race already, with more coming before the year is out.
 Los Angeles runs d big road race every fourth Saturday of each month, with track meet each second Sat urday of the month, while ncighbor- hood races are held in various sub urbs regularly.
 Charles Fuller Gates, who visits all the larger towns, the bicycle ccnters, of the twelve far western cities, as a bicycle missionary each year, ar rived ill Prescott this week in his gypsy motor car, which is a sort of home on wheels, and stopped over here for a couple of days to stir up bicycle interest, as previously trav- cling by rail only Phocnjx, Tucson and Douglas in this state were visited. He passed through here four years ago, then travelrng by motorcycle and sidccar in the interest Of the motorcycle only.
 Mir. Gates reports that he has or ranged already this year more than so bicycle race meets and road races, most of which were in California, and will plan big road races al Phoenix, Mesa, Tucson, Nogales and Douglas before leaving Arizona. Last year he arranged for racing in 20 states, sup plying the prizes which were donated by inc eastern manufacturers, as good form of advertising and boost ing.
 Kingnlan arranged for d race dur ing MT Gates visit there early this week, which will be the first bicycle racing there in 70 long that the old est inhabitant cannot name the time.

out undue delay

We suggest that in localities where there are chambers of com mcrce it would be proper for each chamber to telegraph and write the congressman and senators from their respective districts on this important subject. Although congress has ad- journed, no doubt these representa- tives will be able to indicate some course of procedure We believe no further legislation is required, but pressure should be brought to bear on the various governmental depart 1uents, particularly the treasury de- partment, in order 10 make the Pitt man act operative without undue de- lay.
 Meanwhile, in purchasing silver in ores and other products, we will make sediment on regular New York quotation, with the understanding that correction will be made to the basis of the net price finally received from the government, as indicated in the telegram herein quoted; always provided that shippers will furnish us with sworn statements which will en- able Us to dispose of the silver con- taincd in their products to the govern ment under the Pittman act as de- scribed."
