"When this depreciation had been provided for,

eminent would have lost nothing.
'The price of silver, naturally, under plan OF

value be reached before the depreciation was COM

THE CANTU DISTURBANCE

Too many American newspapers and the news
gathering agencies disposed apparently to give
more significance than it deserves to the friction
between Governor Cantu and the provisional gov
eminent of Mexico with President de Ia Huerta at
its head In some quarters the disposition is to play
up Cantu as rebeing against arbitrary display
Of power just as did de la Hue1ta and the Sonora
government, when they rebelled AGAINST Carranza.
But as pointed out in 'The Oasis" Sunday, there is
no parallel. Cantu is territorial governor and
such he is removable by the president at anv time

Producing mines in Santa Cru. (D,.nty are
among the best elements of prosperity. they give
employment to many workmen, and their shipments
of ores bring cash returns, the money! going into
general circulation, and helping along all lines of
business
Producing mines bear also a large share of tax
alton and help bear the burden of government.
e The policy of the present Board of Supervisors
of Santa Cruz county has been to make access to
to shipping points for producing Mines and there has
been attention given to keeping in good repair
all such roads than done by former coun
ty boards.
That policy is wise and far sighted. Tt will be
continued and extended as development of mining
expands.
