Wlthstanding a decrease of con-
siderable proportions in the
worlds supply Of American cot
ton. This increase in the world
supply Of all kinds, was largely
due to the tremendous crop Of
East India. We are now threat
ened with q world carry-over Of
13, 100000 bales, which on top Of
possible world crop Of 27,OOO,-
600 bales, would give us a world
supply for the next fiscal year of
40, 000, 900 bales. Be it said, how
ever, that world production Of
commercial cotton has averaged
less than 20,000,000 per annum
during the last five years. World
consumption of all kinds of cot
ton was never rs great. as 21,000,-
600 bales in a single year, includ-
ing linters at the peak Of Inter
consumption for manufacturing
explosives during the great war.
The greaest consumption Of A
merican cotton in one year, in
Guiding linters, was never as
much IS $1,000, 900 bales.
"The 1O-year average consump-
ton Of American cotton prior to
the great war, was about 13,00O,-
600 bales, or only 100000 bales
more than our prospective carry
over. The 10-year average con-
sumption Of all kinds of cotton,
Including America prior to the
great war, was about 1880, 900
bales. The world is not likely to
consume more than $1,000, 900
bales during the present fiscal
year, and we have no assurance
that it will consume that much,
nor do We know, or are where any
signs as to when conditions may
be expected to improve.
Europe is bankrupt; it re-
quires nearly 1000 German marks
for the former par. value Of 24c
each, to buy bale Of American
cotton at 10c per pound, 20 bad Is

Good Sized Body
OF Ore Opened in
Huachuca District

According to parties in the city
yesterday from the Huachuca noun
tains, good sized body of high grade
ore was opened up last Friday on the
Wakefield Silver-Gold claims which
are being worked under lease and
bond by Messrs Medigovich and Lu-
itch of this district.
The property is located on the west
side of the mountains and the recent
strike carried values from $500 TO
$4,000 per ton, it is reported.
The leasors have erected five-ton
mill and concentration on the property
and test runs have proved that they
are saving 80 per cent of the values.
The mill and concentration are capa-
BILE OF turning out from six TO eight
tons of concentrates per day. 1t is
estimated that there are about 500
tons of ore in sight in the mine and
on the dumps that will keep the mill
running for several months.
Samples OF the ore and concen-
trates are on exhibits at Bergquist
Jewelry store in Bisbee and at Harry
Sealey's in Lowell.

Long Hikes Suggested

Difficulty in interesting boys above
the age OF 10 years was pointed out
by several of the men who have been
active in the movement. Thompson,
along this line, said that it was the
IDEA of the state advisory committee
that an added branch could well in
terest them. 1t was termed a Trail
Boy Scout movement" through this
movement, the older boys would be
encouraged to make pilgrimages to
various parts of the state during their
summer vacations. Lean-toS, shackS
and other camping places would be
selected in various parts of the state
where the Scouts would camp on
these trail expeditions. Trails would
lead from the principal centers into
nearby mountains or completely
across the state as in the case of a
trail between southern Arizona and
the Grand Conyon Or some other
point in the north.
1t appeared to be the sense of the
meeting that the movement should
be launched with care and discretion.
1t was decided, accordingly, that at
some future date the matter would
be brought to the attention of the
Bisbee Civic Luncheon club and
would be thoroughly discussed. If
possible, a businessman, retired or
otherwise, would be asked to give the
club a talk on the movement. Sever
al men were suggested among them
being, A T. Moore, Pacific EXPOSE
ton, or Stuart W. French, former
general manager of Phelps Dodge
Corporation, now retired and living
in Pasadena. These men, it was de-
clared, are devoting great deal of
their time to the movement in the
southwest.
In company with A. G. McGregor
and w. H. Webster, Thompson last
evening motored to Douglas, where a
meeting, similar to that held in Bis
| bee yesterday, was held.

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR BOY SCOUT
COUNCIL HERE
First Step in Creating Big
Local Organization Taken
At Luncheon Yesterday

For the purpose of taking the first
step in creating a first class council
of Boy Scouts either in the Bisbee
District or in cooperation with Doug
las and other communities in Co
chise county, a luncheon was held
yesterday at the Copper Queen hotel.
While a decision on the question was
deferred, tentative plans were laid
against the time when a permanent
and effective Boy Scout organization
could be formed and made perna-
nent.
A. G. McGregor, president of the
Bisbee Chamber of commerce, called
the luncheon. 1t was attended by
w. II. Webster assistant manager of
the Copper Queen Branch. Phelps
Dodge Corporation; |. B. Joralemon,
assistant manager of the Calumet and
Arizona Mining company; w. A. Mey-
er, general manager of the Phelps
Dodge Mercantile company; ]. X.
Henderson, T. A. Hughes, Jesse York
UNI, DR.. n. c. Bledsoe, Frank Brun-
ing, A. L. Kobey, j. Hunt, Lawrence
d. Clark and ]. E. Thompson, chair
man of the Arizona Advisory Com
mittee and former resident of Bis
bee.
]. E. Thompson, better known in
Cochise county as JET" and re-
tired business man, is devoting prac-
tically all of his time to the Boy
Scout movement in the state of Ari-
IONA. Not only is he member OF
the state advisory committee, but is
also on the regional committee, COM
prising the states of Utah, Nevada,
California and Arizona.
According to the plans OF the adj
visory committee, the state Of Ari-
IONA will probably be divided into dis
| tricts. Cochise county, for purposes
of administration, will constitute one
district. 1t appeared to be the con-
census of opinion of the men in at
| tendance that the interests of Doug
las, Bisbee, Tombstone, Benson,
Bowie and other county communities
| be pooled. 1t was pointed out that
one scout executive would serve for
an entire district and would be able
to divide his time so that maximum
of organization among the various To-
| cal committees would result. Such
an executive would have charge of
| the district, operating under district
| committee.
