While the actual announcement from the mining companies will not be made until after the first of the year the opening of the mines within a month is looked upon as a certain ty. This is a definite sign of the return of prosperity to the state. not only because of the money which the opening of the mines will release but stabilizing of the copper market presages a general return to nor maley in the business world with consequent betterment of conditions for the entire state of Arizona
 Although the copper properties throughout the state stopped the eN- traction of ors about year ago. the industry has not been entirely stag nant. Much development work has been done, so that the mines. in which development work was largely in abeyance during the war. are in better shape now for normal opera tions than they have been for several years.
 The full resumption of copper min ing in Arizona, it is expected, will result in the employment of about 20, ,00O men. with total expenditure in wages and for supplies of more than s40,000,000 year.

American Chemical Firms Aid German P ct a sh Syndicate
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-A copy of a contract entered into by 34 American manufacturers of fertilizer with the potash syndicate of Ger many by which the former bind themselves to purchase 75 per cent of their potash requirements from the latter, was read today in the record of the tariff hearings of the senate finance committee.
 The contract was produced by S. D. Crenshaw, vice president of the Virginia Carolina Chemical company of Richmond, Va, and in ordering it placed in the record, Senator Smoot, republican of Utah, said he wanted to show senators that it not only evaded all anti-dumping laws passed by congress, but also all American antitrust laws.
 "If that contract can stand" Sen ator Shoot declared, Germany will see that the potash industry in the United States will never be devei- oped."
 Mir. Crenshaw,' whose company Is one of those a party to the contract said the instrument was so drawn that the American manufactures could buy 25 per cent of their supply from French or domestic sources. It developed however. that the Ameri- can firms would get a lower rate per ton if they bought their entire supply from the German syndicate than if they bought only 75 per cent from | that source.

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2e.-Varying duties on crude oil were proposed be- fore the senate finance committee to- day by spokesmen for mid-continent producers and all duties we're op- posed by American producers operat- ing in Mexico and representatives of various classes of oil consumers in this country.
 Renewing the fight for a tariff levy which was lost in the house by an overwhelming vote. Senator Harold, Republican of Oklahoma, said he was satisfied with the original rates pro- posed by the ways and means com mittee, S5 cents a barrel on crude and 25 cents a barrel on fuel.
 A duty of s1 a barrel was urged by Harry H. Smith of Tulsa. Okla. sec retary of the Mid Continent Oil and Gas association, who said this would equalize the difference in cost of pro- ductiOn in Mexico and in the mid continent fields.
 W. II. Gray Of Tulsa. repre- senting the National Association of Indepen- dent Oil Producers. urged that the president be empowered to assess a duty equivalent to the combined i'm port and export levies imposed by Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, lIOIl " lilNAl llAt NAAAGA ACAlNe1AA ports come.
 Spokesmen for the domestic pro- ducers said, and some members of the committee agreed, that the mid continent industry was in a bad con- dition at this time. Mir. Smith said that 100000 small wells could not continue in operation at present prices and a tariff ought to be en- acted as a protection and a con- servation measure.
 Opponents of a duty on oil said 8 tariff protection was not necessary and would serve only to increase the price to consumers. They laid par ticular stress upon what they said
 would be the effect on the farmers | the merchant marine, the navy. the 1 consumers of manufactured gas. rail- roads and industries using oil for fuel and upon the users of automobiles, | trucks and tractors

 All charges of embezzlement during his own term of state treasurer were stricken from the record, partly by Judge Claire A. Edwards and partly by the state. and the court also quashed a charge of operating a con fidence game.
 Tonight Governor Small issued a statement declaring that what oc- cured today in the circuit court of Lake county will lay bare to the pub lie mind the methods employed and the inspiration causing these indict- ments''
 The date of his trial on the one charge remaining still is uncertain.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-A res clution by EIihu Root reaffirming existing rules of naval warfare for surface craft and strict application of this code to submarines operating against merchant craft was accepted in principle today by the naval com- mittee of the arms conference.
 Sr. Roots second proposal that new rule of international law be initiated outlawing entirely sub- marine operations against merchant men was still under discussion when the committee adjourned for the day. IL had been urged in addresses by each member of the American. delega- ton and approved formally for the British group by Arthur J. Balfour. The other delegations still are to be heard on this subject.
 in the form in which the first proposal was approved in principle and sent to sub committee for final drafting, the Root proposal sets out anew rules of visit and search bell ligerent craft observe in dealing with commercial vessels and couples with this the declaration that submarines must be governed by these rules. At the suggestion of MT. BalIour the original preamble was amended Tn Hf1dnRSDltDl It Tcctd cS lOAAoNo-
 'The signatory powers desiring to make more effective the rules ad- opted by civilized. nations for the protection of the lives of neutrals and non-combatants at sea in time of war invite the adherence Of al other civilized powers to the follow ing statement of established law tc the end that there may be cleal understanding throughout the woric of the standards of conduct by whicf the public opinion ot the world is tt pass judgment upon future belliger' ents.
 In committing the resolution .t subcommittee headed by MT. Roo for final drafting Secretary Hughe said he hoped it would mot be over laid with lawyers niceties when re-emerged. No one, he said, coul write anything which lawyers coul not improve. but when it came to eth expression of vague fears, to whic lawyers so like to give expression, he added, he hoped that such verba criticisms would receive scant at tention." Tt would have scene extraordinary indeed" MT. Hughe declared. if the conference had nc voiced "a most emphatic condemna tion" of the ''abhorrent practices" submarine warfare indulged in dur1n the recent war. But such declara ton was planned, he added, wa timely and necessary also because til conference had failed to reach a agreement either to ban submarine entirely or to limit each nations tor mage in these craft.
 ''Such declaration as the one prc posed in the first (RooD resolution he added, will go to the whole wor as an indication that, while the con mittee could not agree on such lin itation. there was no disagreement ( the question that submarines shou never be used contrary to the prh ciples of the law governing war.
