JOHN NELSON STILL MISSING;

BISBEE. Nov I7.-Although off, cers and ranchers conducted a wide search yesterday of the country sur rounding the Homer Fike ranch near Naco, no trace was found of John Nelson, Bisbee miner. who disappear cd from the ranch Tuesday morning
 The country searched is filled with washes and ravines. and officers pointed out, il would be possible for a body to lie in one of them for many days before discovery. Heavy brush also made it necessary to conduct the search carefully.
 Rumors current yesterday that NeI- sons body had been found could not be confirmed last night. Deputies sheriff said they doubted the rumors and were planning to resume the search this morning.
 The fact that shotgun was missed at the ranch following the disappear ance Of Nelson, and reports that he appeared Respondent, have convinced officers that he probably went away with the intention of ending his life.
 Nelson had been a resident of Efe- bee for about 25 years, and. during most of that time, had been in the employ of the Copper Queen Mining Company. His only relative in this part of the country is said to be Ro- lin Cuff, nephew. proprietor of the St. Charles hotel in Nogales. Gulf has been notified of the disappearance of his uncle.

NOVEMBER CROP REPORT
 FOR ARIZONA AND
 THE UNITED STATES

PHOENIX. Nov. 17-That Arizona is closing the crop season with ex- cellent yields of corn. potatoes and grain sorghums. is shown by the CO operative crop report just issued by the United States Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates in cooperation with the University of Arizona Ex- tension Service. Conditions have been exceptionally favorable for the har- vesting of cotton. the absence Of rain and frost permitting the maturing of late bolls. Range grass has cured in excellent condition. which insures an abundance of feed on the desert ranges.
 While large proportion Of the Ari zona corn crop is not harvested for grain. the equivalent grain yield on the acreage harvested this season is estimated at about 92S.000 bushels This compares with S51,O00 bushels in 1920 For the United States. the total production is well above the av- craze. though slightly below that Of last year.
 The Arizona potato crop is the best for several years, being estimated at 575,O0O bushels. This compares with i50.C00 bushels last year and 350,000 bushels two years ago. For the en- tire country, the crop is now estimat- ed at 356,076,0O0 bushels, compared compared with 42S.36s.0OO bushels in 1920. The average price paid the producer about November was about SPA per bushel. compared with SIS one year ago.

HOPES FOR COST
CUT TO MINES

AJO. Ariz. Nov l5.-General Mana ger Greenway of the Calumet and Arizona and New Cornelia compal- ies. lately stated here that he had hopes for the early construction of the proposed railroad to the Gulf os California. though the project is not ye tfully assured. He said there had been determination to use lighters on the Gulf Coast. in view of the cos. and delay involved in the construction of expensive wharfage He empha- sized the necessity for the new road ;n stating that 1t would save the New Cornelia company, in single year, about S3o00G0 in transportation costs on fuel oil Cheaper fre:ghts are an absolute necessity. he said. to the op- eration of low grade Arizona copper mines. and only those with low cost sheets will be among the properties that are expected to resume produc- ton before the summer of next year. Plans that have been made for the development of the industry include establishment of copper refinery and a copper rolling mill at Ajo.
 There is expectation that by means of the new railroad there will be much reduction, 10 be shared by all Southern Arizona copper mines, in the cost of bringing in such items as fuel oil. hard coal. timber and other supplies and in the shipment outward Of copper bullion. which can have the cheapest of water transportation from the port to be established on tho Gulf of California.
 The Calumet and Arizona lately or fered prize Of $50 for the best sug- gestion for increasing the uses of copper. The prize was won by Chas. Clason. of Bisbee, with suggestion that solid brass be nsed in the mak- ing of metal fittings for houses, in- stead of the iron-plated materials now generally used. costing about 50 cents q pound. Mir. Clason stated that. under his plan, about 100 lbs. of brass would be needed in the con this would mean an addition of 65.- 0O0. 900 pounds a year to the copper consumption Of the United States.

FOR GRAND CANYON PROJECT

KINGMAN. Ariz., Nox. l5.-There now Is report that Inspiration and number of other larger mining cor porations of Arizona have joined the lacking interests in wnat are known as the Grand hydroelectric plans :n the lower part of the Grand Canyon. near the mouth of DiamoEd Creek. These Girand plans, calling for even tual construction of five dams, are the only ones thus far to secure franchise recognition from the De- partment of the Interior.
 James c. Girand. a Phoenix engi- neer, lately finished the multiple arch diversion dam of the Gillespie irriga- tion system on the Gila, fifty miles west of Phoenix. For years he has been working the canyon at the low er end of the black granite with the idea of installing a number of dams of no great height. primarily for the development of power. He calls them detention dams, with possible effect on river floods and on lower river irrigation. It will be possible to hold back. above the dams, the bulk of the early summer flood flow, stabilizing the discharge from the dams to the end that a minimum de- livery O. 10000 second feet will be secured above Yuma, this is far more than enough to assure full-year fri gation of the fields of the Yuma and Imperial valleys and to leave still more available for such newer pro- jects as those at Parker and in the California district south of Blythe.
 But the primary object of the Girand construction work is to pro- vide low-cost power for the mines of Arizona, Nevada and Utah, with possibility of application of electric current to the processes of ore re- duction or bullion refining or cop per manufactures.

LIVESTOCK AND RANGES

PHOENIX. Nov 11-Although the nights have been cool the absence of stormy weather has made the week a favorable one for stock Of all kinds. As there has been but little precipi- tation since October 2ith the streams have diminished considerably and tanks and reservoirs are much lower. 4 scarcity of water is reported in the Pinto and Pinedale sections while at Ft. Apache. south of the Rim, water is reported as plentiful. Major graz ing sections and stock thereon are still good to excellent, as reported 10 the weather bureau, but for some time reports from the Grand Canyon section have not been so encouraging, stock being reported as only fair and range poor, while at Williams, 65 miles distant, cattle are in excellent condition At present there is gen eral movement of sheep from the north to the foothills of southern Ya- vapai and northern Maricopa coun- ties.
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 Not many more days of frostless weather will be required to fully de- velop the top crop of cotton. Much of it has already come to maturity and if what the weather bureau calls radiation nights" continue for a week longer a full top crop is assur- ed. In the Yuma valley not more than one fourth of the cotton has been picked; the crop opened late and pickers have not been numerous. !, Olive picking made excellent pro gress during the week of favorable weather and several tons were added to the large quantity already har- vested. Two or three cars of citrus fruit are being shipped from the Salt River valley per day and already from 50 to 50 cars have gone out. The cool nights have been favorable for ripening and fruit is coloring slowly as is also the case in the Yuma sec ton.

STANDARDIZATION OF
DANGER SIGNS NEEDED

Standardize danger signs along
American roadways! Make them
alike from coast to coast.
So urges the Bureau of Public
Roads, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The recommendation
is made for the consideration of
highway officials, automobile or
CARNATIONS, municipal officials, and
other persons interested in the OBJ
|servance of safety week which be-
gan December 4.
By Standardization of all high
way danger signs, the department
believes automobile accidents may
be lessened. Deaths from automo-
bile accidents have nearly doubled
since 1915, and the rapid increase
of such accidents, the department
believes, can be appreciably check
ed by the adoption of danger signs,
easily read and distinctive, along
