EIGHT TONS OF COPPER
IN NEW DOUGLAS HOME

JEROME, Ariz.. Oct. Eight tons
Of copper is being used n the con
struction of the residence under cree
ton at the United Verde Extension
for Mr. and Mrs Lewis Douglas.
The copper is in the form of roof
ing. caves troughs. screens. and so
on. When the Douglas home is fin
ished it will include more copper
than any other building in Arizona.
All the copper was fabricated by a
concern in Detroit. Mr.. Douglas
says that he was able to purchase It
at fairly reasonable prices. although
the metal used had been bought by
the fabricator at high figures.
The roofing comes in strips four
teen inches wide. These strips inter
lock and make an absolutely water
proof joint without the use OF solder.
No solder is used anywhere except
at the corners of the caves troughs.
Mr. Douglas has been making ex-
periments with view to giving the
copper in his home the verdigris tinge
which il naturally takes in the east.
1t has been found that under Arizona
climatic conditions copper. when ex-
posed to the elements. oxidizes brown
instead of green. When the copper
materials are all in place Mr.. Doug
las plans to coat them every two or
three days for severa: weeks with a
compound Of vinegar. ammonium
chloride and hydrochloric acid. After
being splashed on the chemicals will
be washed off with water. This
treatment is expected to cause the
copper to acquire the desired green
shade.

HOUSE BILL SO BEING
ARGUED IN SUPREME COURT

PAOENiX. Oct. Arguments in
the case OF W. p. Clements against
Ernest r. Hall. secretary OF state. to
compel the latter to submit House Bill
SO to the voters of the state a special
election. were begun in the state SUI
preme court this afternoon. Both
sides completed their opening state
ments today and arguments will be
resumed when court reconvenes to-
morrow morning.
The case originally was scheduled
for 10 o'clock this morning, but at
that hour attorneys for Clements de-
clared that they had not had time 10
complete their study OF Secretary
Halls 36 page answer to the writ to
show cause and the case was contin-
ued until 80 o'clock this afternoon.
The writ to show cause was issued
by the supreme court several days
ago and directed Hall either to call
the election or show cause why a writ
OF mandamus ordering him to call the
election should not be issued
An unexpected turn occurred today
when Sam II. Kyle, an attorney Of
Phoenix, who formerly lived in Co
chise county. requested permission to
intervene. Kyle's petition alleged that
he was a qualified voter in Cochise
county before he moved to Phoenix
and that he had resided here long
enough TO qualify as voter. but that
Miss Edith Jacobs. county recorder Of
Maricopa county, had refused to reg
lister him as a voter
Should the special election be call
ed on November S, as ordered in the
bill and as asked by Clements, Kyle's
petition declared. he and other person
in similar situations wsuld be de-
prived of rights and privileges held
by other voters in the state.
Kyles petition also questioned the
constitutionally of house bill SO.
The bill provides for the issuing OF
state bonds in return for bonds of ap.
proved irrigation districts, the pro-
ceeds from the sale Of the bonds to
be used for financing the districts.
The bill also provided that it should
be referred to the voters of the state
at a special election on November s
before it would become effective.

WHETsoNE OIL FIELD PROMISING

TUCSON. Oct. 3.-Located sixty
five miles from Tucson on a beauti-
full scenic highway, the Camille Elgin
district. should oil be actually discov-
cred there, would constitute an i'm
mense asset for Tucson. This iusor-
nation is brought to Tucson by Geo
II. Smalley. a local business man. who
returned Thursday after an automo-
bile trip during which he thoroughly
inspected the supposedly oil bearing
plateau in the Milestone mountains.
While no actual drilling has start
ed in the region which has recently
aroused the attentions of biologists
and oil interests throughout the coun-
try. Smalley states a NogaIes cor
poration has been formed which will
begin operations promptly. The first
project OF this new company, he
states. will be the letting of a con-
tract for 5000 foot oil well which
it is believed will strongly establish
by its results the importance OF the
section.
Situated in a high plateau, every
and geological indica-
ton points to the likelihood Of the
presence Of oil, according to SmalIey.
Biologists have visited the district in
large numbers during the past few
months. opinion OF practically all be-
ing that the region Is OIL bearing.
A representative OF the Standard
Oil company, who is asserted by
Smalley to have inspected the indica-
lions OF the milestone mountain pla-
teau. reported it as one likely from
al! conditions to produce OIL The en-
tire plateau rather than any particu-
lar portion OF it, is claimed to carry
the general indications of oil.

of Article | Xof the state constitu-
ton, which in its present form limits
the amount of state Indebtedness to

state to assist in the reclamation OF
irrigable lands in cases where irriga-

DRUG PEDoLERs MOVE
TO GLOBE AND PRESCOTT

TUCSON, Oct. 3-Recent improve
ment in the narcotic prohibition en-

been the consequence of the large
traffic in drugs in both the Globe and
Prescott districts. declared federal
narcotic officer F. p. Barnes. who
spent Friday in Tucson. Several
large raids in Tucson have also been
an important factor in the cessation
or transfer Of the operations of ped
dlers of narcotics. continued Barnes.
1T seems" stated Barnes, that
when most dope smugglers get a
large quantity across the border they
head straight for Prescott or Globe.
This does not mean. however. that
the narcotic situation IN Tucson has
been so greatly remedied that there
is no necessity for further attention
to it. | will leave Tucson Friday
night for short trip but will return
here later. although | cannot say ex-
actly when will arrive
THE higher price which dope ped
dlers can obtain IN Prescott and
Globe for their merchandise also in
fluences the carrying on of larger
businesses in those towns. While
sale price per capsule here is only
fifty cents, one dollar may general
ly be gotten in the other two towns
Large purchasers Of dope are
found in the Prescott district in the
disabled ex-service men and in the
Globe section in miners. These class
es are at least in the places named
users of large quantities Of marco
tics. I have in my possession now
several cans Of opium which I recent
ly confiscated in raids at Globe and

SAMPLE OF RICH
GOLD ORE FOUND

DOUGLAS, Oct. "A sample Of
gold which was conservatively esti
mated to run about $4,000 to the ton
was brought up from Mexico by Chas
II. Gilbert. who owns a group Of
claims in Las Minitas in the Alamas
district about 500 miles south Of
Douglas. The ore came from the San
Francisco claim which adjoins his
own claim, the Hidden Treasure.
The sample is one of the finest
specimens of gold ore ever brought
out of Mexico. according to Gilbert
1t is spotted with gold that can be
scraped off with the thumb nail AMI
small rock of it contains several
ounces of pure metal. The rock was
taken from a pocket OF the San Fran

from the mine runs about $50 a ton.
Gilbert first went to the Alamas
district In 1909 after the panic Of

close down. He located the Hidden
Treasure and other claims near there
and was oprating them later when

FILE SUIT AGAINST
GILLESPIE DAM CO.

PHOENIX. Oct 3. = An injunction
TO restrain the ella Water company
and Frank A. Gillespie from maintain
ing a dam across the ella river at
ella Bend. which it is alleged will Oh
struct the flow OF the water in the
river in such a manenr as to do injury
to the canal and the irrigation works
or the lands of the shareholders Of
the Arlington Canal company is ask
ed in a suit filed yesterday against
the CHA Water company. a corpora
ton. and Frank A. Gillespie, its presi-
dent.
The Arlington Canal company al
leges the lands situated along the
ella river above the Gillespie dam
have been owned by settlers and
their successors who are and have
been shareholders of the Arlington
Canal company since 1899. The
Arlington Canal company it says.
was organized in August, 1899, and
land holders in the district became
the shareholders. The company, it
declares. furnishes irrigation water
for 4.730 acres of land and the sys-
TEN was installed at a cost of $780,
600 Since then, the company says,
it has expended $4,000 in improve
ments and has gone in debt about
$4,000 for maintenance of the sys
TEN.
In the year 1919. the Arlington
Canal company alleges, it learned #
the proposed dam and made in objec-
ton, but the defendants built the
dam, % feet high. across the river.
1t was finished in 1921, and the COM
pany charges it has caused the
waters of the river to overflow onto
hundreds of acres OF land of the
shareholders of the Arlington Canal
company and rendered the ground
uncultivatable and useless. In add
ton, it claims, the waters destroyed
a number of canals and irrigation
works. The raised level of the
river. the company alleges, also viii
raise the water in the substrata OF
the land and cause the lands to be-
come saturated with water.
