PROMOTER OF FAKE SCHEME TO SECURE COUCNiSTS FOR
 CANADA HAS GONE SOUTH

SAFFORD. Ariz.. April lS.-Henry l.. Miller, who came into considerab ble prominence in the Gila valley a few weeks ago. on account of d scheme which he promulgated to secure col onists to an alleged Socialist settle ment in Canada. has shaken the dust of Stafford off his feet. for q time at least Miller went out one day last week on cattel car on shipment bound for Douglas. the home of Major George IL Kelly. where he may spend the summer Mir. Miller had quite q meteoric experience in this valley.
 He found plenty of joiners to his colonization scheme. and for a time il looked as though the beautiful Giia valley would be well nigh de- populated when the time for the exo- dus came. but just few days before the date set for the getaway the en- tire plan was shown to be fraud. Mil Ter was arrested on different charges. and put in some time in jail here. but the District Attorney didn seem to be able to get anywhere with the case. He may have saved Graham county little money, at that.

LOSS 72.2so.ooo ozs.
 WORLD SILVER OUTPUT


 Total silver purchased at sl an ounce. net. by the government under the Putnam act. Jan. l. to Mar 24 amounts to l4,9lS.S79 ozs and com. hined total 10 ii.S2s. S79 ozs. since this order has been in effect. June l.. 1920
 The president of large Mexican mining company (name not given) is credited by the Boston News Bureau with the statement that silver produc. ton in Mexico this year will prob ably not be more than 20 per cent of what it was last year" This would mean l2.750.O00 ozs. against more than 63.o0o.0o ozs. last year IL would also be equivalent to world out put of 97,750.00O ozs, after estimating 5.o00.000 ozs. as Canadian production, 52.0o0.00 ozs in the United States and 2S.00e.000 ozs. by miscellaneous countries. Deducting |. s. A. out put as secured for the |. s. A. Treas ury. this would leave 45.15O.000 ozs. for entire world consumption other than this country.
 Total world silver output in 1919 was 174.5I. .0oo ozs and last year around l7O.000,00 ozs. Record high yearly production is that of 1911, when ii was 226.l92.923 ozs. Silver exports from this country for the first two months of this year tthe most recent report of the Federal Re 0o0.000 ozs. yearly
 The London silver market has held strong for the past week. advancing from 3l 5-S to 34 IS pence from B 1-2 to 5S cents in New York equalent
 Chinese exchange rates have been advanced from 61 to 66 ,taels) and Hong Kong from 46 to 30 These are about the best Chinese rates in more than two months.
 Wheat crops in India are S5 to 95 per cent normal, according to Broomball Cotton yield is 3.556.v00 against 5.S45.000 bales 1919.l92o In ls1s-lsl9 it was 3.671OOO bales.
 Conditions in China are somewhat confusing at present. but emphasis in American newspapers about famine conditions are misleading, since last years famine was confined to con- paratively small section of that coun- try.
 The Finance Minister of the Gov crnment of India announces that no provision has been made in the 1921 budget for the sale of Council bills but adds that the Secretary of State possessed large sterling reserves. the transfer of which to India will keep him in funds for long time" This factor should be favorable to q high CT rupee rate.
 Cotton import duties into India have been increased to II per cent, which is somewhat serious to Lanca- shire merchants. The excise duty re- mains at 1-2 per cent. This is al most revolutionary as far as India's interests are concerned.
 Additional import duties into India are or motor cars. motorcycles. tires. silk piece goods. clocks, watches, musical instruments. alpte and other manufactures of gold and silver and amount to from 1-2 to 20 per cent.

POSTMASTER HELD

DISBEE. April l9-Lon R. Bailey, Bishee postmaster. was arrested yes tcrday evening on complaint cha-a ing the appropriation to his own use of postal savings funds.
 By instructions. from the postoifice department. Bailey was displaced yes terday as postmaster. and C. W. Hicts appointed acting postmaster. to take office beginning this morning. The charge on which Bailey was arrested is nominal one. the com plaint alleging shortage of only $115. but it is reported that this is but one of the charges that will be filed against him. and that the total shortage in the postal savings funds runs into thousands of dollars.
 The specific charge filed against Bailey yesterday has no connection with the robbery of the postoffice on the night of April 3. when si0.o0O in currency and several thousand dol lars in postal savings funds were taken from the safe. according to federal officers.
 Bailey was arraigned last night at .7 o'clock before James Allison, L. $. commissioner. Through his attor- ney. Alexander Nurry. he demanded a preliminary hearing. which will take place before the |. s. Com missioner sometime next week. Bond was fixed at s50.o00 in lieu Of which Bailey was placed in the custody of J. F. WilInouth. |. s. deputy marshal. He was confined in the Bisbee city jail last night.

Bailey Denies Guilt.

Alter DelnS arralsned. upon being asked if he desired to make any statement for publication, Bailey said You can tell the public that l am not guilty; that l am not the first man who has been arrested on such charge who is not guilty"
 Since the robbery of the Bisbee postofiice on the night of April 2, four postoffice inspectors. J. l.. Coop er. C. F.. Webster, F.. D. Chance and w c. Means, have been constantly at work on the affairs of the post office. Their investigations culmiu- ated in the arrest last night. That they have not solved entirely the rid dle of the robbery of the night of April ,. they admit. The story is only half told. but it. is probable that developments will follow fast. and the unrayelling Of remaining threads in the next few days will solve the whole mystery. The particular charge on which Bailey is now held. accord ing 10 the inspectors. has no bearing on the robbery. It alleged that: On or about the l.th day of March. 1921. Lon R. Bailey. postmaster of Bisbee, did unlawfully and knowingly convert to his own Use certain monies. to-wit
 sI15 Of the postal savings funds of the United States, which funds had heretofore come into his hands and under his control as said postmaster" :"
