 After putting the application on, there were two days of heat without rain. The solution became hard and wax like all over the leaves and in the buds of the cotton. All of the insects that were on the cotton or were attracted by sweetness of the solution, were dead.
 After the solution has dried, no matter how many rains may come it still stays on. The picking up of the bolls will not do any good, ac- cording to MT. Quick. unless all of the neighbors pick them up also.

for listing Treasure Vault shares on the San Francisco exchange. He ex- poets to have the matter arranged early the current month, and before the close of the month to have the double-compartment shaft equipped with machinery. It is the purpose to crosscut the vein at intervals of 50 feet as the shaft is deepened.
 An unofficial report from the Kath- erine mine credits exceptionally high gold values in the winze on the 400- foot level. This winze has at present depth of 100 feet, and is to be sunk to total depth of 300 feet, which will give the mine a maximum depth of 700 feet. Namely: 400 feet in the main shaft and 300 feet in the winze. The gratifying condition att taching to the Katherine mine, aside from the fact that there is already blocked out to depth of 400 feet a tonnage of ore valued at $2,163, ,000, is the fact that the gold values are with increasing depth. The new plant of machinery will be in commission within few days. There after the working force will be large ly increased.

RICH IN PRODUCTION
 POOR IN REAL CASH

Maricopa county, Arizona, stands twelfth in rank among the productive agricultural counties of the United States, especially in the gross value of crops and livestock. Maricopa is the only real agricultural county in the state and with the further devel- opment of its lands should become close to the head of the list in agri- cultural production, but during the past year the farmers of that locali- ty have been in bad way on account of the failure to sell its cotton crops, the market being almost closed. As a result of this condition the property owners have been unable to meet tax es, as we'll as farm upkeep. The county has the largest delinquent list of any county in the state for 1920, but this condition will right itself and before another year rolls around the farmers will be on their feet, with large production and a big market. No more wonderful valley exists in the world than the Salt River Valley, and when all it's lands have been brought under cultivation it will stand at the head of every county in the United States.

MOOSE MINSTREL
 AT OATMAN MAKES
 HIT WITH PUBLIC
(By Special Correspondence)

| The Moose Minstrels have done it again! The first time the skeptics said it was an accident; this time even the most critical concede it is art rather than accident.
 The floodtide of localt heatricals was reached Thanksgiving night at the Oatman Theatre when the Second Annual performance of the Moose Minstrels was witnessed by all of Oatman as we'll as large number of visitors from both Kingman and Needles.
 From the opening chorus to the exit of the last cakewalker, the show went as smoothly as if it were on roller ,bearings-one feature merely merg- ing into the next. The tiresome wait ing "between acts", so common to amateur performances, was entirely absent.
 The circle of black-faces, presided over by Interlocutor Joe Power, was excellent, and many hearty laughs were evoked as a joke was cracked over the head of some near-celebrity. The chorus was unusually good, sur passing previous efforts, and too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. c. c. Tolleson, musical directress for the elan displayed by the choristers.
 Pleasing solos were rendered by Messrs. Williams, Hittson, Bayliff, Short, Dalby, Hanlon, Pugh, Tolleson and Moore. To select any one as out standing would be an injustice to the others. Frank Short in his cartoon speciality did some very clever work; while Miss Laura Phelan and Johnny Carara in their dance speciality were a scream. Chas. Pugh and his chorus of Desert Mermaids in "Ain't We Got Fun, received much applause. Doc. Tolleson and his chorus of charming aboriginal maidens in "Wah-Wah"' that imaginary isle, covered them selves with much glory and a small bunch of sea grass. Home was never like this, and we are telling the world if we could locate that island we would immediately take up a resi- dence there and apply for citizenship.
 The Moose-All-String Orchestra un- der the direction of Mrs. Lou Hanlon, acquitted itself with credit.
 Ye Ode Fashioned Jubilee brought forth some excellent dancers, little Miss Amelia Minear and Master Billy Long showed much class and were roundly applauded; but it remained for Mrs. Al Johnson, with her bril- liant costume and classic African Jigging" to bring down the house.
 All in all, no local performance has ever met with such unqualified praise, and Doctor Tolleson, Dictator

MT. Bashor is an ardent advocate of government ownership of power and water distribution in the southwest and will aid in every way to keep the hands of corporations and individuals out of the affairs of the Colorado river. While Colorado has a strong interest in the big Red River of the West the people of that state believe that only through government ownership can matters be amicably adjusted among the states.
