CAN'T SIGN PEACE TREATY.

Mexico City, Sept. 2.-The signing of treaty with the Un- ited States is neither possible, convenient nor necessary and is contrary. to Mexican constitu- tional precepts, in that it creates special privileges for Amer icans," according to that portion of President Obregon's message to congress dealing with foreign relations, which was read in the house tonight.
 Prolonged with applause from the members of congress and the spectators greeted President Obregon's declaration that it was impossible to sign a treat with the United States.
 There was a demonstration al so when the list of nations which had recognized Mexico was read.
 Mexico has been consolidated and regulated in all parts," says the presidents message, "feder- al tribunals are functioning with independence of action, giving all necessary guarantees to for eigners and Mexican citizens; numerous economics have been put into practice, thanks to which the national debt will soon be paid. In word all pro- mises are being carried out"
 The report concluded a con solidated report from all govern. mental departments. The re- ports by cabinet members were optimistic and frequently alluded to "the perfect harmony and cordiality" existing between the executive, legislation and judi cial branches.

MINING AND POTATOES.

Mining in the West is a good deal like potatoes with the aver age meal, it's benefits go unno ticed until we have to do without them.
 If the western potato crop had been practically wiped out for a year due to various causes every citizen would be interested in seeing measures adopted which would produce a crop for the next season.
 While we cannot eat the ore that is mined the work of pro- ducing this ore furnished employ ment and the money wherewith to buy potatoes.
 As the western mining indus try has been practically closed during 1920 due to adverse market conditions, the source of employment from which thous- andS of people formerly drew revenue to buy potatoes has been wiped out.
 As a result every westerner should take deep interest in every measure which will en- courage the mining industry.
 Western representatives in Congress are favoring protective tariff measure on various metals which must meet unlimited foreign competition.
 Copper, lead, silver and gold mining are the backbone of the western metal industry and must be encouraged and protected to the fullest extent.

Word from the Pearce district is to the effect that the cattlemen have commenced the fall round
 ups and are branding the fall crop of calves. The cattle are in better shape in that district than they have been in years and the cattlemen, according to reports, are correspondingly happy. A few cases of blackleg have been found in the herds and are i'm
 mediately being given attention.
 The rain during the past two months has turned the whole of Arizona from desert to a mea
 6ow covered with grass. The present has been one of the best rainy season experienced in the state for many vars. Cattle are now taking on flesh rapidly and soon there will be abundance of beef available on the Arizona ranges. While the cattle market is not in good condition the cat tie owners have been relieved of all danger of further loss and with enough grass to keep the cattle going for another year without danger of loss. While many sections of the state lost heavily on account of the drouth there were not many cattle lost in this county, though there were heavy losses encountered by those who were compelled to feed cattle to keep them alive.

ACTIVITY IN COPPER WILL
 REVIVE SOON.

IuCSO0, sept. 3.-belleI Tn the possibility that the mines in Ari- zona and New Mexico will open about the first of the year was expressed yesterday by Dr. l.. D. Tickets of Warren, Arizona, consulting engineer for the In spiration Consolidated Copper company, the Cananea Consoli dated Copper company and the International Smelling and Re fining company. Dr. Tickets was in Tucson yesterday to at tend the meeting of the univer- sity's board of regents, of which he is a member.
 II believe that we have reach ed the rock bottom of our period of depression and that we are on our way to the hill top," Dr. Tickets said.
 II do not wish to appear pes simistic but there is no doubt that the present market for cop per is bad. As soon as it i'm proves sufficiently the mines will open. I think that most of them will probably resume operations at dOOuG Lll0 Sdm0 GluO.
 II have not been in the east for some time, so that my i'm pression concerning the situation there is necessarily second hand. Nevertheless, I believe that I can say, without being undly optimistic that better days are not far from us.
 As soon as they can get any sort of price for the product the mining companies will reopen their mines"
 l. Dr. Tickets has national re putation for his research work in mining engineering. He is the author of a number of Schol- arly monographs on the subject, his paper on Experiments in Reverberatory Practice at Can anea, Mexico," having won him the gold medal of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy of Great Britain in 1910.
 He is a member of the Amer ican Society of Engineers, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Asso- cIdGIOu LOT GuS AuVdnCSm0uI Ol Science and the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy of Great Britain.
 Dr. Tickets returned to Bis bee yesterday afternoon. Short ly before his departure he con ferred with D. J. Roberts, pur chasing agent for the El Paso SmeltinQ works
 Mir. Roberts reports that west Texas expects the mines to re- sume operation about the first of the year.
 "The silver and lead market is about as good as can be ex- pected, and we are smelling these metals right along," Mir. Roberts said.

GOLD STRIKE A FAKE.

That the report of big gold strike near Benson is a lure to create rush to the field, is the word brought to Tombstone yes terday by two local mining men who went down to the reported find to investigate.
 They report that they learned on truthful authority that the report of the strike was made by owners of several pretty good claims north of Benson on the east side of San Pedro river, in or der to create interest in the field It is true, however, they state, that some time ago someone found piece of float in the vicinity that carried free gold and would probably assay at least $2O,OO0. But nothing furth- CT has ever been found and the only bearing the reported strike might have is to bring prospec tors to the district. -Prospector.

48TH INFANTRY WILL LEAVE.

Douglas, Sept.-It was official ly reported yesterday that the 18th Infantry would entrain for Camp Travis about September 15, joining the Ninth Infantry at that camp. This will leave but a handful of men at Camp Harry J. Jones, but it was said that the First cavalry soon would be recruited to full strength, which will be something over 1000 men. The departure of the 18th has been anticipated for some time, but no definite date set. It is said that only the lack of trans portation funds have delayed it's departure.
