A ton of pure gold 1t worth $50O, 0U0. There is a piece of the golo ore in Mrs. Keays' collection of Elm poria samples now on display in the window of the Hesla jewelry store that is fully one-fifth gold. A to1 of ore of that richness would there fore be worth more than SlOOOOU This particular specimen is a piece of white quartz and the gold stand. out beautifully in beads throughou the entire specimen.
 The old mines of the Hassayamps were famous in the early days ot thei discovery for rich streaks ot hiGl grade specimen rock, and goo. many fortunes were taken out by owners and prospectOrs i'll this pic trre rock" The Emporia was on' of the best producers of this rich ore
 Two miles from the Emporia i: the old Monte Cristo silver miRo which is on a parallel vein to the Emporia. It is now in operation again after a number of years o slumbcr. The flotation process f the old mill. just installed, is proving to be a wonderful saver of both tho gold and silver values. With thi' process installed in the Emporia mil another producer will be brough back into line. Every time one O these old properties is resurreCted, . payroll is added to the business O. Prescott

Verde and United Verde Extension companies. The United Verde has staff chemist in the field, travelling around in a Ford car equipped witt various scientific apparatus for mak- ing tests. A plant pathologist and chemist, similarly equipped, are in vestigating for the Extension.
 Federal authorities have agreed to send a chemist to this district if the Verde Valley Farmers and Stock mems Protective association will em- ploy a plant pathologist. This the association has agreed to do. Some time ago inquiries were sent out anC two or three available scientists, rec commended by the government, havc been located. It is planned to close with one in the next few days and tc have him on the ground by the mid dle of May if possible. The govern ment chemist will endeavOr to de termine how sulphur smoke affect. plant life on the forest reserve as well as farm crops.
 The farmers are anxious to t1nC out just how much of the damage tt their crops is done by the smoke anC how much by insects. There IS nc doubt that some insect damage has been mistakenly attributed to smoke.
 Some people interested in the farm ing industry say that this artiClC puts entirely too much stress upor the fact that insects do damages tc crops and that while some insec damages are met with, that they arr negligible compared to smelte' smoke. Also, the farmers say tha they can fight off the insects and ge by, but that there is no chance what ever for them to evade the smoke evil, that it comes down over tho valley some days much worse that others and envelopes the whole sec ion like a big cloud and carries de struction to plant life in its wake. is also claimed by the farmers tha sometimes animals have been affecter by the smoke evil and that the fumes are not very pleasant for the human lungs
 The farmers and the smelter peo pie are both busy, and no doubt very interesting session of the Su perior court will be the one whe' the smoke damage cases comes tC trial.

MINES ARE TO PAY TAXES AFTER RESERVE
 STATUS IS FTXEI
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Although hitherto held up b, numerous controversies over the al lowances to be granted for deprecia ton. the collections of federal taxes from the leading copper Companie have progressed so rapidly of latt | that most of these companies ar now able to show a clean bill o health, according to officials of tn income tax division of the treasur. department.
 Only a few cases remain 10 be ad justed for 1917. while the work O auditing for 1918 Is making eNcellen headway.
 The main feature of contention Ina been in the allowances for depletion The position taken by the incom tax officials Is that they are merel, administering the law and conse qaently cannot take up questions the justice of its requirements. Point at issue with them, therefore, hav been limited to investigations b. their experts where the figures fur nished by ..ny of the companies hav' presented apparent discrepancies O contradictions.
 Under the ruling of the Suprem court, the basis of valuations IS tha of March 1, 1913. on properties ac quired prior to that date. As tn, law now stands, the depletion allow ance per. unit of ore taken out the ground during the taxation yea is arrived at by dividing the tota units of ore estimated to be in tn ground into the total valuation. A: result, the actual allowance pc unit may differ with the dilteren properties without involving any iii justice in the respective cases, as tn treasury officials view the matter Some may be granted a depletion al lowance of. say cents per unit, an others 10 cents. and both be justin able To this position representa- tives of the copper interests hav' taken exception.
 Officials of the government de cline to give out figures on thu amounts collected in income taNe: from the various copper propcrtie. as well as the depletion allowance granted in individual cases It known. however, that many com panics have been called upon to pa more than the amounts indicated il their returns. and that in some in stances the added taxes have bcei greater than the amounts originally collected.
 Efforts to secure less Onerous tax ation through a rernedying of meth ods considered wrong in principl' are being continued. The needs O the government for revenue to mee' it's enormous obligations continue also, and this, more than anything else. reduces the likelihod of success in lifting these burdens off the cop per enterprises.

SUGAR CROP OF HAWAII ID BE .
 MARKETED
CBy Associated Press

VANILLA, P. l., April 2S.-The sugar crop of 19l9-i020 in the Philip pins Islands, now being harvested, aggregates 225.OOO tons for export, and between 75,000 and 100000 tons for home consumption, according to figures compiled by chambers of commerce, and manufacturers and eN- pOrters.
 Centrifugal sugar, 90 per cent pure. forms only a small percentage of the production of the islands, the bulk of the sugar produced being muscava- dos. in which a large percentage of molasses remains after being pro duced by the open boiled process.
 Out of the 225,0O0 tons estimated available for export this year. 75,OO0 tons are centrifugals and l5O,OGO mus cavados. Practically none of the latter variety is exported to the United States, China and Japan talk ing the most of 1t.
 Growers and manufacturers how ever, predict that within a short time the ratio of centrifugals to muscava- dos will be reversed, by reason of the modern methods of manufacture be- ing introduced
 There. are at present twenty sugar centrals in operation in the Philip pines, and eight others are under construction or are planned for i'm mediate development.
 The labor problem is becoming SC rious, according to producers and manufacturers. Many of the natives have left the island. Some have gone to the Alaska fish canneries, others have taken up a searfaring life, while a number have migrated to the Ha- waiian sugar fields.
 The tractor has replaced the cara boo in some localities. Producers and manufacturers assert that double the present output could be cared for, if supply of common labor could be obtained to plant and har- vest the cane.
 Efforts are being made to induce the government to render assistance along the line of more intensive cul- tivation of the soil According to statistics, the yield per acre has been stationary for many years, as little more than three quarters of ton. while in some cane producing COun- tries five tons an acre are obtained.
 In the island of Formosa, under Japanese methods of intensive culti- vation, yield of enc and half tons m acre is obtained. and growers claim that the soil and climatic con ditions there are inferior to those iii he Philippines.
 While figures on local consumption of sugar are not given as exact, va -ious authorities place the quantity at . between l5 and 20 pounds per capita ! year, as against a consumption ot lbout 90 pounds per capita in the United States
 "The introduction of 50.00G Chinese nto the sugar industry of the Philip pines. would, through the application 1f more intensive methods of agri- culture. which are not possible under ,xisting conditions, double the pres mt sugar production from the area It present under cultivation for cane" said George H. Fairchild, a large exporter. in a review of the sugar situation. published in the April bulletin of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce.
