made last night by Chief of Police
Dallas S. Ford.
Chief Ford's statement was in re-
ply to a criticism of him by Sheriff
Ben F. Daniels, made public earlier
in the day, in which the sheriff took
exception with Mr.. Ford for having
failed to notify him that reinforce
ments were needed. AS a result of
the incident, Mr.. Daniels announced
that he did not feel that Chief Ford
should continue to hold a commission
as deputy sheriff, and that therefore
it was revoked.
Mr.. Daniels had stated that he had
no objection to the chiefs having
continued the pursuit beyond the
city limits, but that he felt the
sheriff's Office, instead of the police
station, should have been notified
that more men were needed.
Replying, Chief Ford said that his
knowledge Of the procedure followed
in such cases by tie sheriff's ofice
led him to believe that the quickest

CAUSES DISCUSSION.
HEADLIGHT LAW

The question OF the new headlight
law having been the cause of numcr-
Gus inquiries to the sheriff's Office,
charged with enforcing the various
automobile laws. the Office reports
that the new law does not actually
call for a diffused lens on headlights
but it is suggested as being conciu-
sive evidence that the law is being
complied with.
Tests made by the officers ard
others interested in the new law
showed that even if the direct rays OF
the headlights have been set at such
position that these rays do not raise
higher than AZ inches from the level
ground at a distance of IS feet while
the machine is standing if the ma
chine is rocked" dazzling ray will
almost invariably appear in sore
part OF the headlight reflector.
For this reason the officers say it
is the best plan to pait the upper par;
of the headlight glass and so preclude
any possibility of being arrested for
violation of the new law.

PRESENT COPPER SITUATION
HAS RAY OF OPTIMISM,
SAYS JAMES s. DOUGLAS

JEROME. Sept. 21.-Indications are
increasingly apparent that there is to
be a revival of work in the copper
fields within less than the prescribed
eight months. Jerome Globe and to
a somewhat Icss extent, b,sbee, are
making :hoves indicative of a revival
Of mining.
The United Verde Copper company
is ready to blow in its smelter on a
days notice; the operation can be
completed in ~ hours. The plant at
Clarkdale and in fact all of the Unit
ed Verde's appurtances. are in better
shape than they have bene for ten
years. Machinery has been overhaul
ed that has not stopped turning owe.
for six years. No time was wasted
by this company in starting improve
ments after it had ceased active pro-
duction.
The steam shovel operations about
which so much interest centered a
year ago, may be begun well in ad-
vance of general mining work
Conditions at the United Verde Ex
tension and at the Clemenceau smell
ter are in kind.
One great mine at Miamo has begun
preparing to lay in winter supply Of
coal for its smelter.
In connection with the stirring an1
underground rumblings in the copper
situation, the following interview of
James S. Douglas with the Verde Cop
per News is Of especial interest
When there is a steady market for
copper at IL cents a pound in New
York, some of the Arizona mines will
be able to resume production, provid-
ing national, state and county taxes
are reduced somewhere within reason
This is the view taken by James s
Douglas, president OF the United
Verde Extension Mining company.
When copper can actually be so,l
: :: a. cents pound in New York CITY.
we are likely to see resumption OF
operations here in Jerome" declared
Mr.. Douglas.
Yes, these mines here may make
profit at 12 cents, but what about
some Of the higher cost producers"
the interviewer interrupted
'Fhe law of the survival of the fit.
test Will prevail, just as the low of
supply and demand prevails" was the
answer. 1t will be only natural if
the mines that can turn out copper
at the lowest price are the first TO
start production after the surplus is
reduced to normal and the market DC
comes stabilized"

DOUGLAS. Sept. 1s.-John E. La
than, who has been a resident of
Douglas almost since the town was
started, and who came to Arizona so
long ago he has forgotten the exact
year, left last night to enter the pio-
neer's home in Prescott. Latham was
rs years old last August 4.
In about 1870 or 1871 Latham drove
across the plains to Arizona and for
some time worked for a man named
Smith at Fort Grant He later drove
a stage from Tucson to Fort Bowie.
He was member of a crew which
took small boat down the Colorado
river from Ehrenberg to Yuma, feat
considered quite dangerous in those
days. He also holds the distinction
of being the first man TO drive the
United States mail to Dos Cabezas.
