PUBLIC STATEMENT TO PRESS

Miss Anne Martin independent
candidate for the U. s. senate who
according to returns now complete
polled about 5000 votes made her
first public statement on the election
at Reno on November 9th and said

like that of the mice who elected

so eploited that they soon demanded
change and were persuaded by the
leaders that all that was wrong was
the color of the cat so they put the
white cat out and elected black one
in his place. The American people
have not secured the change thy de-

BLACK metal MINES make
VERY RICH STRIKE Recently

The Black Metal mining company
Is producing an increased tonnage OF
ore from the Jackrabbit mine, and
an extra train will soon be run By
the Phoebe Pacific railroad to take
care of the increased business.
The strike Of carbonate ore on
the 500 footlevel in the bedded vein
area last week is responding nice
ly to development and tho as yet
insufficient work has been done to
determine the extent and magnitude
OF the body. the discovery has merit
and the increased tonnage being min
ed will be welcome news to the dis
trict.
The uncertainty of the freight sit
uation has had q deterrent effect up
on operations at the mine. and ship

both been curtailed.
With definite assurances OF an co.

ore produced and the recent strike

COPPER EXPERT SAYS
 CONDITIONS IMPROVING

w. F. Bartholomew, of Tucker, Hayes & Bartholomew, or Boston, says of the copper market:
 There are many reasons for the belief that the copper industry has at last turned the corner and that from now on improvement of grad ual character may be regarded as cer- tain. Foreign buying of the metal in volume has started in, with sales of 90 1000, 900 pounds in December, and while European manufacturing chan nels may not be able to stock up with the metal until credit arrangements can be concluded, such action can be looked forward to with ratification of the peace treaty and at rising prices above the present price of 18% cents.
 "The year 1919 was not a happy one for owners of copper shares, for the market value of their properties while dividends have been steadily re- duced and in number of cases passed entirely.
 "The handling of the copper situa- ton by the administration at Wash ington during the war proved very detrimental to all copper companies who were forced to produce the met al on government orders to the very limit of their ability at a fixed price of 26 cents per pound under high forced costs; then, with the ending of the war they were not only left to shift for themselves but the govern ment forced them to sell 150,000, ,00O pounds of government owned copper in competition, and now the govern ment claims they failed to pay all the taxes they should have paid during the period of the war and the treas ury department will endeavor to col lect millions of back taxes. Thus one of our greatest industries has been severely tried and crippled, but is gradually regaining position to which it is surely entitled"

CYCLONE BILL BECK

Among visitors in Jerome at the corporation commission hearings was Colonel William E.. Beck, known to fame as Cyclone Bill"
 Colonel Beck has always been an enthusiastic advocate of good roads and at present he is interesting him. self in the application of B. c. Smith, of Jerome, and A. c. Flower, of Pres colt, for permission to conduct an auto stage line over the new Jerome-Pres- cott highway. That application is to be heard by the corporation commis- sioners.
 Smith and Fowler plan, if a per- init is granted them, to put on two 25-passenger auto busses costing $5,- 900 apiece. They also propose, ac- cording to their application, to limit the number of passengers carried. In other words, they will not overcrowd their cars. Whenever traffic becomes too heavy for two machines they will put on more.

CUPID KEPT AHEAD
 IN MARICOPA COUNTY

Cupid kept about four jumps ahead of the Goddess of Discord," during the year 1919, according to the records of the superior court of Maricopa coun- ty. There were more than twice as many marriages as there were di- vorces, but the "old girl" got in a lick early in 1920, with two leftover di- vorce decrees on the very first day. Records of the civil docket of the vorce suits in the county in 1919, and that 1895 couples procured marriage licenses from the superior court. De- cember was the record month and also the month when the race between Cupid and Miss Discord was the clos est, for the records show 132 mar riage licenses and 131 divorce suits.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT
 BIDS FOR FAME

Another libel case which promises to rival the suit brought by former Governor George w. P. Hunt against Allan B. Jaynes, publisher of The Tue son Citizen and Col. Fred s. Breen editor of the Coconino Sun, tried in the fall of 1918, and in which Hunt lost, will come to trial before Judge Stanford in the superior court at Phoenix. It is the $10,000 damage suit brought by P. H. Mccullough against Allan B. Jaynes and The Tue son Citizen based on an editorial pub- lished in the Citizen in which McCul- tough was charged with being a mem- Der of the I. w. w.
 Mccullough was formerly captain of the guard at the Clifton road camp under Governor Hunt. There was a big disturbance at the camp during McCullough's administration and he was finally relieved. It was at this time the Citizen published the edito- rial of which Mccullough complains.
 It will be remembered that it was in the Hunt trial that the Dear Mike" letter, in which Hunt spoke of getting "all het up" was produced, creating a sensation in political circles.
 In the Mccullough case Jaynes and the Citizen are standing on the truth of the charge and while the character of the evidence which they will pro- duce is not known, it is said to make the Hunt case look tame.
 The case will be heard on February }. Mccullough is represented by Judge Thos. w. Nealon; Jaynes ano the Citizen will be represented by Judge John E. Campbell, of Tucson who appeared for the defendants in the Hunt case and cross-examined the former governor.-Douglas Daily Dis patch.

Rain Means Money To the Sheep Men.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are in prospect for the sheepmen of the state as the result of recent rain, according to Secretary Stephens, of the state livestock sanitary board. At this time of the year, he says, the rain water sinks into the ground and lasts in a way that cannot be expected when the weather becomes warmer
 The new grass that is due on the desert, he says, insures feed for the early lambs. The mothers must have the grass. according to the secretary, or the equivalent in hay that would cost from S25,000 to $30, ,000 for 10,- 900 head herd of sheep.
 Stephens talked with many of the states leading sheepmen since the storm, and found them all jubilant over the prospects for early feed that will carry them along until the regu- lar spring range is available. This is said to be the first season in several years when early grass was assured. An increase in wool production, the sheepmen tell him, also can be looked for as result of the early rain.

ARIZONIANS HAVING LIQUOR
 ON COAST MUST REPORT

A survey of liquor on the coast may reveal the fact that an Arizona man is the owner of one of the "six best cellars" in Los Angeles.
 1t is understood that local men early last summer bought by the wholesale and leased underground quarters where they stored their valuables. Frequent trips have since been made to the coast, but it is believed that the stock has not been depleted to such an extent that an Arizonian may not be listed as having a large quantity of liquor in his possession, even at long distance.
 However, there is no need yet to consider changing your name and crossing the border since it is safe to says that the information secured by John P. Carter, internal revenue col lector for that district, will not be made public.
 Constitutional prohibition becomes effective one minute after midnight of January 16. Within 10 days after that date all persons in the California dis trict having liquor in their possession must report to Collector Carter.
 And if you do not make the report the liquor may disappear. For
 Liquors required to be reported and not included in the inventory are sub ject to seizure. The national prohi- bition act provides severe penalties for failure to make reports, or for making false reports.

"This means a loss of $1250 annually, as the re- mainder of the grove is netting $25 a tree.
