Arizona Smelling company and a new organization to be known as the Southwest Metals company is to take over the assets and business of the old concern.

The old stockholders are to get these shares at $20 per share and the pub lie is to be invited to get in at the higher rate.
 The old company has practically settled up all indebtedness and is ready to turn over the business debt free. During the past number ot years this company has done an i'm mense amount of business and it's af. fairs have always been free from taint. No company operating in the state has done business on a more honorable basis than has this corpor. ation and the people would like to see it in operation again.

HIGH WATER MARK
 FOR THE COLORADO


 Never before in the history of the Colorado river, so far as the know ledge of the white man goes, has the water stage been so high as at pres ent. The guage at Topock showed a stage of 24.4 feet last year, which was a record, but Tuesday evening the guage showed 26.2 and the water still coming up at the rate of one-half inch per hour. So high did the water get that the Topock- Oatman stage road was put out of commission, as was the road to Yucca. The county highway commission got busy and had the Oat- man-Topock road open to travel Tues day evening. A crew has been put on to widen this roadway and also make fill across the deep gulch on the Topock- road, so that the two roads will soon be in shape to receive travel.
 At Cottonwood valley the water was so high and threatening last Saturday that all families residing therein re- moved to high ground with their families. It is the belief that all the alfalfa fields have been ruined, the water going over the fields from two to four feet deep. About 200 acres of fine alfalfa farms have thus been put out of commission.
 At the down river points much damage has been done and it is ex- pected that when the crest of the flood reaches the Imperial intake there will be something doing. If the Gila also furnished a volume of flood water the damage to the lower river country could not be estimated. It is to be hoped that the Okerson levee will hold the flood back and that no serious damage will result, but there is only hope behind the wish.
 The enormous flood in the Colorado river is a surprise to the government engineers, as it was not thought the river would carry more than 130,000 second feet of water this year, while there is fully 100000 now going by Topock. Was this great mass - of water retained behind the Boulder Canyon dam what a blessing it would be to the whole country. It would enable millions of acres to be reclaim ed and hundreds of thousands of acres safeguarded from the floods. The river is a wonderful stream, but it is becoming more dangerous every year by reason of the greater area taken in by the agriculturists, and these re- claimed acres become more potential there is greater and greater reason for the control of that mighty stream.

SOME LARGE EMERALDS

One South American country has produced an emerald of 630 carats size and claimed it was the largest emerald in the world, and then learn ed that fields in the Ural mountains have produced emeralds that weighed six and three-quarters pounds, while the South American stone weighed on- ly one-third of a pound. The six and three-quarter pound emerald was among the crown jewels of Russia, and its location now is unknown.

SILVER COINAGE

U. s. Treasury department pur- chases of silver under the Pittman act, for May totalled 7,136,15o ounces, compared with 2,190,197 ounces in April and 17,249,O0O for the first quarter of the year. The grand total since the Pittman act became a law in June 1920 is 56,2S3,697 ounces. There remained on June 1, 151,716,3O3 ounces to be purchased to replace the silver sold to Great Britain ,and at the present rate of production this amounts to about four years pur- chases.
 U. S. Mints in May coined 7,66O,0OO silver dollars and a total silver coin age of $14,396,000 to the end of that month. No gold was coined at the U. s. hints in May.

BIG GOLD PRODUCTION.

Rand gold production in May set a new high record for the current year at 687,776 ounces, as compared with 6S1,382 in April, 671, ,123 in March and 558, ,137 in February.
 The increased output results from declining gold premium" through rising sterling exchange. This neces- sitates extraction of the richest DOT tions of the ore reserves in order to maintain operations in the face of in- Hated production costs.

SEEKS TO ANNUL CONTRACT

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 16.-The county attorney of Yavapai county today declared that he would ask the courts to set aside contract entered into today by the county highway commission with a firm of engineers whose headquarters are in Los An geles. The contract authorizes the engineers to supervise and conduct operations of the commission under the recent bond issue of $1,500,000 voted by the county for highway building. The county attorney de- clared he would oppose the contract in court on the ground that it was too great delegation of the commits sioner's powers. Two members of the commission opposed signing the con- tract.

SALVATION ARMY
 WILL ASK ARIZONA
 FOR $25,400.00

During the week of March Fist to 18th, the Salvation Army will be meg aphoning Arizona to finance the 1921 budget, amounting to S25,4OO for the entire state. The amount-the small est asked by the Army in nearly a decade-will tide the organization over the year, it is believed. The state quota has been considerably re- duced in view of existing conditions.
 That the public, which would or dinarily wink it's eye at the expendi- ture of that amount at single dab in the pool or pleasure, would deny these Servants of all" this sum to carry on their great work is not to be thought of; Arizona has too high a conception of standards of useful ness to turn down such an appeal.
 The Salvation Army is doing things The true worth of this organization was never fully appreciated until war days. While other agencies were charged with wringing their hands in helplessness and dispair because of lack of supplies at the battle fronts during some of the crucial moments of active campaigning, the Salvation Army, the war vets say, just rolled up their knapsacks, took what sup plies they could get and marched off with the soldiers. That is the meth cd they adopt in everything.
 Derelicts redeemed and straighten- ed out into distinctive assets in citi- zenship; hundreds of poor housed, fed, clothed and warmed during the win ter; numbers of children sent to Army institutions to be cared for and moth cred and loved; many found employ ment; hundreds of distressed helped in as many different ways-these are only a few culled items from the Army's Arizona records during 1920 And this year, much extension work is planned.
 Not penny is being asked this year that will not actually be needed to sustain the organization in it's work of mercy. The campaign dates at March 21-28.

He and HerOdOtus

When it came to historical allusions the young orator was loaded for bear But he was embarrassed. Every time he thought of the tremendous effect which his speech might have on the fortunes of the candidate for whom he spoke, he turned pale and anaemic green. His humping heart pounded his lungs. His Adams apple gagged him. Facing the expectant thousands in front of him, he gulped painfully four times before he could utter a word.
 Then he began:
 "Friends and fellow citizens: Her odotus tells US"
 "Who's he for?" interrupted shrill and irreverent voter.
 The fuming young orator was in dignant, but, having made the start, he was determined to go through with his message. He continued:
 "Herodotus tells us of whole army being put to flight by the praying of a single ass. And"
 This time he was interrupted by thunderous and hysterical applause The cheers shook the roof. An appre- ciative smile wreathed the speakers face until another voice from the crowd advised him:
 "Young man, proceed! This army's been tested"

ARIZONA LEADS
 IN PER ACRE OF
 CROP VALUATION

Arizona led all states in value o1 crops per acre during 1920, 1919 anC 1918, according to figures just pub- lished in the Wall Street Journal.
 The combined value of the 13 prin- cipal crops during 1920 was $70.52 per acre in Arizona; in 1919 $SS.37 per acre, and in 1918 $S6.14 per acre.
 In the same years the combined value of the 13 principal crops in the United States was: in 1920, $23.76 per acre; in 1919, $3s.76 per acre, and in 1918 $33.16 per acre.
 The figures, according to Arizona financial experts, are convincing proof of the value of Arizona as a farming state.
 The 13 principal crops are cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buck wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, flax seed, rice, hay and tobacco.
 Connecticut was Arizona's closest rival according to the official figures. In 1920 Connecticut's crops were $69.22 an acre; in 1919, $87.97 an acre and in 1918, $74.27 an acre. Most other states fell far below those fig ures.
 The acreage value of crops was low CT in 1920 than in the, year previous in every state, the figures show, but few states had so small decrease as Arizona.

THE OLD MAIL BAG

You're old and ragged, worn and torn Must be discarded rthrown away. No more for mail to town you'll go; A new one takes your place, today. Your once strong sides are threadbare
 now,
 Hard use and years you show; But I would like to chat awhile, There's things you'd ought to know. You've done your work most faith
 fully, Such loads as you have brought! Newspapers, pictures, magazines, And letters-eager sought. Upon the saddles horn you've hung Your insides bulged with truck, A burro-load you often bore, But now you've run amuck. New life, grim death, Dan Cupid's
 wiles, You've brought each varied tale. Your lot is just the common lot, For youth and strength must fail. Soon, I like you, no more will go, A younger, stronger heart, Must carry on, for this is fate, And each must play his part.
