.SUSQUEHANNA RIVER
 . DREDCED FOR COAL

HARRISBURG, Nov. 12.-Viewed from distance the Susquehanna River basin here after 6 o'clock looks like a seaport with a mysterious fleet swinging at anchor. The fleet how ever, is unique for it is engaged in salvaging the coal washed down from the northern coal regions of the State So far as known here there are only two rivers in the world where salvag- ing such coal has been found prof itable investment, in the eastern part of Pennsylvania. @
 Profitable as the business now is and has been for several years, it is doomed within the next decade, ac- cording to reports made recently by experts employed by the State. The record amount taken was in 1919, when almost two million tons were re- moved from the rivers and streams draining the anthracite fields.
 During many coal shortage periods the industry has proved valuable aid. Locally the coal is retailed at about $3 ton. The difference in price between it and other coal has been so great that many large indus trial plants, as we'll as private homes have installed electric blower sys- tems, making forced draft which permits it's burning.
 In the early years of the anthracite coal industry all small sizes were wasted at the colleries and washed in to the streams. Recently the demand for small sizes of coal has stopped this practice. Some still continues to come into the river from culm banks, but even they are now being utilized at the mines.
 The mountain like culm banks which were once part of every an

POCKET IN TUNNEL
 ON RICHMOND MINE

Twenty inches of valuable silver ore, running $4,OO0 to the ton, was encountered Thursday on the proper ty of Sam Richmond in Richmond Basin by Con Haverly and Archie Delphose.
 A total of 1000 pounds of the ore was taken out, and the vein was said to be looking good.
 This is the fourth of four big pockets found at intervals of ten feet apart. The present find was made at a point about 30 feet from the mouth of the tunnel.
 The ore was horn silver. It will 'e held for the present. A total of S10O ,OO0 worth of ore has been found on this prorerty--Arizona Record

 The end-men have complete repertoire of new and original jokes and you had better be on the lookout to see that they do not pull one on you; if not, they will certainly take a crack at your next-door neighbor.
 The original Moose quartette, con sisting of Messrs. Pugh, Tolleson, Moore and Bayliff, will be heard in new and catchy songs. There will al- so be solos rendered by the silver throated Joe Dalby, Frank Short of the University of Oregon, and the well-nown soloist, Henry Bayliff.
 The programme as outlined holds vast possibilities for an evening of good, clean, wholesome amusement, and one cannot afford to miss it.

SECOND ANNUAL. .... ........ MOOSE MINSTREL
 OATMAN NOV. A

Shake, rattle and roll lem, boys!
 No, no, reader, we are not speak ing of, or even so much as thinking of the gentle but seductive game of African Golf; but rather of the shak- ing of the tambourines, the rattling of the bones and the roll of music from the mighty opening chorus at the Second Annual Performance of the Oatman Moose Minstrel Com- pany. ..
 There will be great gobs of mirth and music trickling down into the audience from the stage of the Oat- man Theatre on Thanksgiving night. We have this from no lesser authority than Dr. c. C. Tolleson, himself, Die tator of the Oatman Moose Lodge, and Doc. knows what he is talking about. .
 Last Thanksgiving the Moose Lodge made its maiden bow to Oatman theatre goers with the production of <'Ye Olde Time Minstrel Show", and this show still stands out pre-eminent among the several very creditable performances staged by that order since then. When all is said and done, there is nothing that so gets under the skin and tickles the risibili- ties as the quips and jokes cracked at the expense of some local celebrity, hence the biding popularity of the minstrel show. m.,...l
 All of the stars discovered by last years production will again be seen this time, together with several very important additions, and we are be- traying no confidence when we state this will positively be the greatest array of talent ever brought together upon local stage, and that the com ing show will, without doubt, far eclipse any former production. The boys are practicing nightly and going at it with an enthusiasm that makes for unqualified success. AT. l
 In the circle will be seen Interloc- utor Joe Power; end-men, Dr. Tolle- son, Charley Williams and Earl Moore, all of whom are well-known locally; also Frant Short of the Uni versity of Oregon Glee Club, Wm. B. Hittson of the Ranger Texas, Musi- cal Comedy Company, and Lou Han lon, an old-time minstrel man, an ag- gregation of talent that cannot be beaten. The chorus has likewise been greatly strengthened by the addition of number of excellent voices.
 The olio will consist of a banjo solo by c. c. Suttle, cartoon speciality | by Frank Short, music by the Moose All-String- Orchestra, lead by Mrs. Lou Hanlon; Roy Stackpoole with his 1'Yimminy Girls" in Scandinavia. Also the widely known and justly famous "Desert Mermaids", under the directorship of Charley Pugh and Mrs. 0. c. Tolleson, will, for two acts, please the eye with their unique and gorgeous costumes, and tickle the auricular nerves with their tuneful voices. The "Desert Mernaids", within themselves, are a whole show. Concluding the oli, Doc. Tolleson, on his imaginary isle "Wha-Wha", will be seen with a bevy of charming, ab- original maidens.
 A cake-walk, always a popular and highly-appreciated feature of a min strel show, will end the evenings en- tertainment. We are not at this time ht liberty to give the names of the entrants in the cake-walk; but suf- flee to say, it will come entirely up

thracite mine are now disappearing Once they are gone the river coal in- dustry will have but a short period of life. Because of the accumulation in the river beds, some of which are now untouched, experts estimate that five years after the culm banks have been utilized the last coal digger will have to be scrapped!
 Yet before that time arrives experts predict the industry may again play its part in relieving industrial fuel famines such as were experienced during the last two years. Without the river coal supply many industrial plants would have been forced to sus- pend during such periods.
 More than 100 operators-individu al and companies,-are engaged in the business here and at other points on the river and it's tributaries. The output of each concern varies from 5000 to 100000 tons per year.
 The river coal as it is called, was first taken from the river at low water mark periods by men armed with scoops which permitted sand and silt to escape. Most of this supply was used by the men taking it from the river and very little was sold.
 Later it was discovered a sand dig ger with a rotary pump would serve to reclaim the coal. Specially design ed rotary pumps were later mounted on flats, while others used portable bucket dredges. On the small tribu-

GOVERNOR PLEASED
 1T PASSING OF BILL

Before the Associated Press brought the word to Arizona of the passage of the M(endell bill by the house. the news was received ait the governors office in a wire from Con- gressman Carl Hayden The mes sage was transmitted to the gover- nor, who was in Prescott, by his sec retary. Henri Behoteguy. to whom Governor Campbell expressed his qualification that the bill, to permit compact between the states re- specting the waters of the Colorado. had passed.
 s Governor Campbell was the chair man of the committee of governors who went to Washington in the in- terests of the bill after a meeting of the League of the Southwest and the Western States Reclamation service at which the bill introduced in con gress was drawn
 The bill provides for an equitable apportionment of the water supply
 to Arizona, California. Colorado. Ne
 dava. Utah, New Mexico and Wyom- l ing The states in question have appointed water commissioners who with commissioners representing the government will meet and lay plans
 in the fall.

the Colorado river basin by com mission This commission is to i'm clude one representative from Colo rado, Utah. Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico. California, Arizona and Mex ico and in any question in which the rights of Arizona are involved this state will have only one vote out of eight.
 sI am to lay before you" Maxwell said in beginning his address, what I consider to be the most important problem that has ever come before the people of Arizona The Mondell bill, apportioning the waters of the Colorado river. has recently passed the house of representatives, as we are informed in press dispatches of this week. This bill, having to do with the most important piece of reclamation and development work in the history of the United States, or perhaps of the world. is on its way to becoming a definite piece of legisla tion while practically every citizen of Arizona is absolutely ignorant of its contents.
 Arizona Facss crisis
 "The importance ofs this piece of legislation cannot be measured. If the rights of Arizona are taken up by the people of this state and made realities it will mean the development of more than 100000 acres of land which will be equal in every respect to the lands of Redlands. Ontario and the other mesa sections of California.
 Arizona is facing, in the crisis now before her. two alternatives. She can develop the lowland districts alone. which will mean the reclama- tion of less than 500. 900 acres of land or she can put the water on the mesas | first and develop there 1000, 900 acres In addition to what can be reclaimed in the lowlands-
 Tn any event, you must recsain enough land to pay for an extensive system of diversion and distrihutIor works, which means that yoa mus 1 take the water from the river a. leas1 l at the 1000- foot contour by the con- struction of a high dam. Now. tflt l proposal seems big one, but VI l did bigger things during the war We are spending 5000, ,000, ,000 yea l to run our government, and we car
 certainly spend a small part of tnil sum to reclaim millions of ftcres O land from the desert.
 .sThe value of the power which vii l be developed will alone justify th' construction Of such dam ana m I building of canal system for l,u0o,' 1 900 acres. An estimate of the p-o ductive worth of this reclaimed acre age may conservatively place 1t a $1OO an acre. or a total of $1Oo, ,000, oo' of new wealth for Arizona from tn year the dam is built until the humal animal shall have ceased to live Il this section of the world
 Arizona Needs Most Why should Arizona have lion 1 share of the waters of the Coloras1 river? Because it needs more of th waters than any other section of tn 1 basin. and because she can do nor with it. Why. then, should Arizcn' trail along Behind six other state and Mexico and see her rights g

slice of the Colorado river for Mex .can lands. You won't get what you are entitled to if you submit to the decision of a commission What right has Mexico to the waters of the Colorado? None. This country has the absolute moral. legal and inter national right to the Colorado because
 the river rises in the United States.
 A combination of forces to take the water from the United States and
 use it in Mexico is. in all future and
 potential phases treason to the Unit
 ed States just as much as if you had
 proposed to take water from already
 developed projects.
 If the waters of the Colorado are
 not so used as to develop the up- lands and are taken out only for the use of the lands towards the border there can, naturally enough, be no return seepage. The wastage now is sufficient to irrigate 100000 acres in Arizona and the same amount in Cal iforriia. With the proper development of the resources of the river. in a few years there will be seepage acres in Mexico.
 Now. all that Arizona has to do to gain every right to the Colorado is to begin to use the waters. which use will immediately establish its tights against all other states or countries And unless she does begin the use and thus establishes her, right to them. she will lose for all time a minimum of $100.000.000 year | surely a stake worth fighting for" Committee Named
