UPPER BLACK CANYON IS SCENE OF ACTIVITY
 BY DELIVERS OF SILVEI

The Labena group of Burt Ray mond and associates has been option ed to Joplin, Mo, mining men, and if their engineer, who will examine the property more minutely later, finds it advisable they will develop the same.
 These developments mentioned are of course only a part of the proper ties held iii this district, as it is several miles wide and more than ten miles long. This activity, however, indi- cates that there is to be a real pro ducing district established in this section, and illustrates the great value of producing ores as an incentive to the development of mining districts in general.

VISITING IN SKULL V
MEMORIAL ARK
 PROPOSED ON NEW BRIDGE
(Erom Sundays daiiy.i

Since the announcement that the city council had voted to award a contract for the construction of a permanent and ornamental bridge over Granite creek, there have been many suggestions to the effect that such a stunning structure should bear a character other than that of mere passagcway over a raging (some- times) torrent - that it should be a sort of memorial
 The suggestion that the structure be named "Go1dwater Bridge" in hon or of the mayor was rejected when it was pointed out that his honor had stated the bridge would never be built is he had anything to say about it.
 Then, the suggestion was made that the bridge be equipped with a memorial arch to carry lights and a bronze tablet to carry the names of those Yavapai young men who went away to war and did not come back. Quite a number of prominent persons including at least 90 who thought of it first, put forward the idea.
 Dixon Fagerberg, for instance, is credited with having gone further than merely advancing the idea. He is said to have also said something about advancing the cash. SubScrip- tions, which would certainly be popu lar, in Mir. Fagerberg's view, should be raised to help decorate this, the first honest 10 gosh permanent im- provement the city of Prescott has proposed to put i'll for many year.
 No doubt the local post of the American Legion and the other pa triotic organizations could be inter cstcd and given charge of the work of raising the money, selecting a de- sign and ordering and ceremonially installing the tablet.

SAD DEATH OF 4 YOUNG MOTHER
 ON VERDE
(From Saturdays Daily) he many friends of Don Bell of

he many 1riendS or Lon belI OI Camp Verde will be shocked to learn of the sad news of the death, Thurs day afternoon, of his wife, Mrs. blanche Brereton Bell
 Mrs. Bell had given birth to a fine 9-pound boy on Tuesday morning.
 Mir. and Mrs. Bell were married in October, 1917, and soon after MT. Bell was called to war and was in service for over a year, having seen overseas duty. While he was away Mrs. Bell did her full duty at home by keeping the home together and helping out in the teacher shortage by teaching the Clear Creek school where she had taught for three years.
 Mrs. Bell, known before her mar riagc as Miss Blanche Brereton, was one of the best loved teachers of the county and did more than any other teachers of the Verde section of the county towards the uplift of the rural schools, her school at Clear Creek becoming a model for the other rural schools of that section. She was loved by all that knew her. Her mother, who came to live with Mrs. Bell dur ing her husbands absence in the war and who has lived with them since, and her brother, Henry, were present at the time of her death.
 The baby boy has been named Donald Bereton Bell and is being cared for by its two grandmothers, Mrs. Brcrcton and Mrs. L. B. Bell.
 On account of expecting a sister of the deceased to arrive from Califor- mia the funeral services, which will be conducted from the Ruffner fu- neral parlors, will likely be held some time Sunday.
 From the many friends of Don Bells from the Verde and from Pres colt, from whose high school he graduated only few years since, will come heartfelt synpathies.

.DEFLATION OF CURRENCY BY GOLD PRODUCTION
 REGARDED SALVATION

and not be unduly forced and acceler- ated by large losses of gold, the foun- dation of our monetary and credit structure. A gold dollar in the vaults of Federal Reserve bank serves, or may serve, as the basis of deposit lia- bilitieS of $250, and these deposits, to the credit of a member bank, may in turn serve to enable credit eXten- sion by that bank of anywhere from seven and a half to IA times that amount, or say $19 to $35. With re- serves close to the legal minimum, therefore, every million dollars of gold lost practically means forced credit contraction of perhaps $20,000,- GOO, unless contraction comes by nor nal industrial liquidation"
 While deflation IS the most impor- tant of the admitted cures, it must operate gradually over a number of years in order to permit industry to adjust itself to the changing condi- tions without loss of production. A too rapid deflation would dislocate industry and, by curtailing produc- tion, accentuate the severity of all of our economic ills.
 In 1919 the gold stock of the United States suffered a loss, by excessive exportation and consumption m man. ufactures and the arts of 292,796,000.
Weekly journal-miner., 1920-04-14

This loss in gold coin and bullion is equivalent to from 20 to s times that amount in terms of expanded credit, in accordance with the statement of the Guaranty Trust company. Based upon their lesser estimate this amount of gold coin and bullion is equivalent to a forced credit contraction of 5.8 billions. Our losses by gold expor- tation and sales to the trades are con tinuing at the same and even a greater rate than that of 1919.
 The effect has been still further to reduce the federal reserve ratio of re- serves to net deposit and note liabili- ties from 44.8 per cent, December 26, 1919, to 42.7 per cent, February 20, 1920, leaving a margin of only AZ per cent above the legal minimum re- quired under the federal reserve act. Conservative bankers felt that the ratio of December % was too low; certainly they must be somewhat alarmed at the still lower ratio of February 20.
 The time has come when deflation in our credit and currency structure is a forced necessity. but, if these ex- cessively heavy losses are allowed still further to reduce our gold re- serve, the deflation will be on la scale far too great for the country to sustain. The production of new gold, it is estimated, will not exceed $40 100000 this year, a decline of $l0,O0O,- 900 from 1919, unless constructive re- lief is afforded by congress. The gold excise and premium proposal, which is now being considered, creates the machinery by which the consumer of gold in the arts and trades may pay more nearly the cost of its produc- ton at the present time. The loss in production of new gold to the reserve will still further accentuate the vol tune of deflation. It will be neces- sary therefore, to scruitinize our ex; ports of gold more carefully and to increase the production of new gold at least to satisfy the requirements 1T | manufactures and the arts.
 The attendant ills of too rapid de flation cannot too strongly be em- phasized. Labor difficulties will be come more, rather than less, numer- ous. The loss of employment alone will creat burden upon the entire public in lessened production, which cannot be borne without suffering and the impairment of health. To safe guard such a situation by applying a constructive remedy now will be the most effective protection of the broad | public interest

(From the American Mining IournaD
 If we are to preserve our national entity and boise, one of the first prob lens of domestic concern is that per taining to cur currency and finances. There Is no problem the solution of which is more important to the man in the street. The security and prog ress of our domestic industry are no less dependent upon a proper solu- ton of this problem than our posi- ton in international affairs.
 Our best financial thinkers are agreed that imitation, with the tre- mendous drain upon our domestic re- sources by Europe and the decline in the physical volume of production, have all been accountable for the continually rising commodity prices. If these have been the causes, the cure for our economic ills must be met by deflation, by more rapid re- cuperation of European production and by all increased output in our own country.
 The Guaranty Trust company of New York, in a circular issued Febru- ary l9, 1920, made the following ref erence with respect to deilation:
 There are those who feel that while deflation is undoubtedly neces- sary, it should take place gradually

By OUR MINE NEWS WRITER

The upper half of the Black Can yon mining district promises to soon be one of the busiest sections of Yav- apai county. The center of activity is the Black Canyon Mining com many's property which is developing the Thunderbo1dt vein. This com pany has kept steadily hammering away for the past six years, and has to show for that work 1900 feet ot drift tunnel on the vein, which has developed it to a depth of over 400 feet perpendicular. At one point an ore shoot 400 feet long was run through, and averaged from 4 to 9 feet in width, carrying silver values averaging about 20 ounces.
 Test runs have been made in the custom milling plant of the L. C. s, Milling company, which is subsidi- ary of the Lowton Finance company of New York. This company's mill is near by.
 The Lowton Finance company IS also handling another subsidiary com pany known as the Silver Cross Min ing company, and Guy Thrasher is in charge of the work. He is install ing a new hoist and will put the old 4O-foot shaft down to the 3OO-foot level, running levels at each hundred The ore vein is about four feet wide in the old shaft and at the depth oi 40 feet, ore gave a return ot l4 ounces silver per ton in actual say | ing from test runs. The company hopes to develop tonnage large enough on this property to keep the 50-ton mill of the L. C. s. company busy. The plant has Notation unit operating in connection with card concentration tables. The savings made ill this plant of the most of the ores run Ill test and custom runs 1T that section is said to exceed 90 per cent

First, or Deer Story

 First, or Deer Story
 A few days ago, forest ranger who is also a deputy game warden went into a certain meat house in the Puntenney district. There his start led eyes saw hanging from the rack the carcass of a deer He knew it had been killed out of season, of course. He, therefore, phoned for a deputy sheriff, so the story goes, and the deputy went upon the scene and appropriated the meat, put it into a sack and carried it to the express of flee and marked it for shipment to the sheriff's office in Prescott.
 The rules for the shipment of meat, do not permit the shipment of vcnison as such, hence 1t was necessary not to say anything to the express agent about what kind of meat 1t was that was being shipped. Therefore, it was shipped as Meat" meaning beef
 Note the power of mere words and ideas, When that deer, or venison was unpacked at the sheriff's office. it had been transformed by the mere magic of the words into just beef.
 Second, or flicker" Story
 Some weeks ago, during the heavy rains, the faithful revenue cutters got wind of an illicit distillery working i'll the hills ard hied themselves to the spot and took into custody the law breaker who was running bug juice through worm"
 One man, the officer, sat in the rear seat with the prisoner and the pieces of the distillery necessary to be used as evidence that "still' had been found and busted up, and of course a quantity of the white flicker" But, as luck would have 1t, the big rains caused the creeks to become rivers, and at one especially bad ford the driver of the automobile ran into deep hole in such way that the car was immincntly in danger of being carried down stream, men and outfit. The ofh:er was compell- ed to get out into the stream and to work like a Trojan to save the Car from ovcrturning. The prisoner did all hc was supposed to do, stayed in the car. But, 10 and behold, when the officer got back into the car there was no tell tale still worm" nor any bug juice in the car.
 Did the prisoner use the magic power of thought upon those things and cause them to disappear in the swollen stream beyond identification and possible harm to him, much the same as the magic word Meat" transformed the veuison of story No. 1 to common "bee"?

Wigert Group


 Dolan and Van Horn have taken over the Wigert group and plan to develop it. This is on the big cross vein to the Thundcrboldt, which has never been developed to any extent, i'll as much as the ores on 1t arc not high enough in value to have paid chloriders during the years that silver has been low. This vein has, with present prices of silver, plenty of pay milling ore on the surface and oper- ators ill that section feel that much better grade ore will be opened up when development is carried forward.
 Thompson's Gertrudis
 D. ]. Thompson, one of the old timers in that section who has made his living digging silver out of the ground for many years, is planning to develop the Gertrudis group, which is also on the big cross vein system. He has an excellent tunnel site and will carry on his work at his own in dividual expense, having strong faith in the possibilities of the ground.
 Leasers Are Busy
 On the famous Silvor Cord vein there is also quite lot fwork going on, The Brooks group, by La Salla and associates; the Cutter group, by Lon D. Hall and others. and the old Silver Cord itself, by Jack Patton and Center LusI, are taking out and ship ping ore. The Silver Cord vein, hay ing been a producer off and on for over 30 years, IS keeping up its record.
 The R. 6. H. property, as well as the Bill Arp group, is under option to Harris & Co.,, and their plan is to raise finances to open up the same or to turn over the handling to others oil a new contract, 1t is said. Both ot these groups arc very valuable, and it is admitted that development should prove the-e properties as yalu- able.
