According to the plans prepared thus

 A committee of mining experts after an investigation reported to the board that there will be no dam age to existing or possible mining values of the company and the board is willing to rely on this judgment. It has furthermore offered to put up any reasonable bond for the protec- tion of the company
 This is set forth in a communiea- ton signed by the control board members yesterday as follows:
 December 24, 1921. Mir. I. F. Morrison, Attorney. Amalgamated Copper Mines Co, Heard Bldg.
 Phoenix Arizona
 Dear Sir:
 We are individually Tn receipt of your several communications in re- gard to the refusal of the company which you represent to permit the Cave Creek flood control board to proceed with the construction of the Cave creek dam.
 This board. in the construction of
 
 safeguard the lives and property of the citizens of the Salt River valley does not desire to impose, without compensation, any damages on your company. Neither does this board desire to pay public monies to any one without value received, or in re- turn for actual damages sustained.
 In order to supplement our own opinion, we secured the services of a committee of mining experts, con- sisting of the dean of the college of mining and engineering of the Uni versity of Arizona, the editor of the Arizona Mining Journal. C. F. Willis. and T.. E. Whiteley, chief geoIogist of the C. and A. Copper company. These men have made report to us that the construction of the Cave creek dam will not damage any ex-- isting or possible mining values of your company
 On this account we are advising the contractor to proceed in assem- bling his construction forces for the purpose of immediately beginning construction. and in addition, have advised our attorney, P. H. Hayes. to take whatever legal steps are neces- sary to secure possession of the nec- essary ground on which to begin con struction.
 If the opinion of your company is different from that of ourselves and the mining experts, We are qnite will ing to put up any reasonable bond for your protection. should a court of law decide that you will sustain damages in the construction of this dam. We, however, are unwilling to permit, if it is at all possible to avoid it, the delay in the construction of this dam, as it will require the inn mediate commencement of this work in order to have it completed before 1 the summer rains of 1922. We will welcome from you any | suggestion a to how we can cooper ate with you to avoid delay on this

mer, I was much impressed at the good condition in which the Sakel- laridis cotton produced in the delta of the Nile reached the market, and we are TOW arranging through our Pima-cotton Growers organization to put Pima cotton onto the market in the same fine condition as Sakel- laridis.
 By adopting the most improved methods of growing, including care ful seed selection, better ginning methods, prompt warehousing and very careful government inspected chasing, We are practically eliminat- ing all country damage and are get ting this cotton onto the n. lrl1et ir the fine condition which, it's superla- lively fine type demands.
 By maintaining in our district the production of this one type of cotton from selected government seed, we are avoiding the deterioration in type which has occurred in some districts by cross breeding when several types of cotton are grown in the same dis trict.
 Tt is very gratifying to our asso- citation to note the steadily increasing use of Pima cotton by the fine spin ners Thus far this year we have shipped from our district about 1S,00O bales, the very large percentage Of which mas been purchased for the use of fine spinners. And it has now been demonstrated that this remark ably even-running long stapled Pima cotton can be spun with thorough success in the yarn running as high as 150 count. Another encouraging fact is that many fine spinners who have been previously using this cot ton in small lots have, during the past 50 days, been re- ordering in greatly increased quantity. So that it is now demonstrated that, without regard to the demand from the manufacturers of tire fabrics there is developing in America a genuine demand for this cotton among the fine spinners.
 Tt should be empha sized that our orga nization IS a strictly business or ganization formed for the purpose of orderly marketing and holding a five year contract with the growers for their product. Our membership is steadily gowirg, we have now nearly a thousand growers in our organiZa- ton and next year expect to handle the very large proportion of Pima cotton grown in the southwest By applying to our manager, P. M. James, fullest information will be supplied to anyone interested.
 we have not attempted to adopt any original methods of selling in the New England market and are hand ling the sale of our cotton through the regular established channels

EAST'S INTEREST IN PIMA COTTON
 |S MANIFESTED

The New Bedford (Mass.) Standard more nearly than any other daily newspaper in the country, the organ of the cotton spinning industry, pub lished the following on the recent visit of Dwight B. Hearc, president of the Pima-cotton Growers associa- ton. to New Bedford, devoting to the interview a volume of space that 1n- dicates the interest felt in that center in the cotton of the Salt River valley and the southwest:
 That the growers of Pima cotton in the southwest propose to lead the way in the improved ginning. baling and warehousing movement was indicated yesterday by Dwight B. Heard, presi- dent of the Arizona Pima cotton Growers association of Phoenix, Ari- zoBa. who is here personally in New Bedford in the interests of marketing g she Pima cotton crop. Mir. Heard de- vlarod that it was proposed to make the picking, the ginning, the baling end the final wrapping of the Pima bales fully equal to the highest stand ards prevailing with respect to Egyp- tisn catSon.
 With regard to the aims and plans Of the Pima growers and the future prospects of this type of cotton, MT Heard said:
 'The Pima cotton Growers Coop era1ive association is endeavoring to render a real and practical service not only to the cotton producer but to the manufacturer of cotton goods.
 There seems to be genuine rec ocnition among the spinners of fine yarns wno need an extra long staple cotton. that Pima cotton is the only cotton of this type produced in com mercial quantities in the world today with which spinners who want cotton running from E to 1A inches in staple in uniform lots sold on exact sample. can be supplied.
 we feel that in order to give the cotton manufacturer the service he desires 1t is more practical to store our cotton in large lots at the point of manufacturing use. For that req son we nave arranged for storage facilities in New Bedford for several thousand bales now in transit and ex- pect after the first of the year to materially increase our shipments to this market if the demand and price lustifies It.
