SILVER SUPPLIES
 DWINDLE SHARPLY

Government purchases of American silver at $1 an ounce for April may not exceed 100000 ozs. In March 7,300,000 ozs. were secured and in January and February, 9,949,O0O ozs. April reports show total of 724,456 ozs. obtained for the first 20 days.
 This weeks report of the Federal Reserve showed a loss of $19,636, ,0OO in "silver and other cash reserves" This movement is not quite clear un- less silver has been transferred to the Treasury Department.
 More than a month ago we indicat- ed that closing of large copper com- pany properties producing silver would decrease production in this country from 100000 to 20,O0O,OOO ozs. for the balance of this year. We estimated monthly output for the last 9 months of 1921 at 3,00O,O00 ozs. or about 45,000,000 ozs. for the 12-month period allowing for 17,249,000 ozs pur- chased in the first 8 months. This estimate now appears to be too high.
 The Pittman re-purchase order is for 208,000,000 ozs. of which 47,SS1,- 456 ozs. has been secured from June 16 to date. r.
 The latest 10-day report (April to 10) of the Federal Reserve Board shows imports of $844,705 and ex- ports of $139,737. This is about the smallest movement for any 10-day period in more than years. Excess exports, foreign origin, are $672, ,142. Receipts from Mexico were much smaller, $564,262. =
 In the London market and on for eign origin silver, prices are again up- ward. The advance to 36h pence April 12 was offset by the labor troubles in that country. After de- clining to 33A pence recovery to 35 3-8~ pence was registered.
 It is expected that the Chinese trade bill will be accepted by Con- gress. This provides for tax exemp- tion and Federal incorporation of American firms in China. This bill was passed in the House in the prev ious session, but did not get through the Senate.
 Exchange rates with China and h. dia hold above the lower levels of the past 6 months. Shanghai taels have been as high as TOE Cup from 64) in the past week.
 Conditions in India continue to show improvement.
 European banks have gained 91,- 457,000 in silver since Jan. 1.
 Silver imports into London are about s2,222,639 for the first months of this year and exports about e5, ,265, ,875.-N. Y. Financial Review.

2OOQ MEN AT WORK
 IN MINES OF BISBEE

Jack White, state mine inspector, returned yesterday from weeks ab sence in Cochise county, where he made a survey of the mining situa- tion. According to MT. White, there are 2OO0 men employed in the mines of Bisbee at the present time, while under normal conditions the mines give employment to between 5000 and 5000. The policy said to have been employed in releasing the miners was to let out the single men, many of whom are said to have left the state.
 ''There is no evidence of depression there, since the men out of jobs left at once for California. Douglas is harder hit since the smelter has shut down." said MT. White.
 The effect of the shutting down of the smelter has been keenly felt in Tombstone, he said, the silver mines having closed down when being cut off from reducing their ores in the nearby town.

OAThAN GOLD TO
 RESUME OPERATIONS

It is expected that work will soon be resumed on the mines of the Oat- man Gold Mines company, owner of property adjoining the Big Jim on the east. This company has important mining property and a small amount of development work is sure to bring the lower workings into the ore body that was opened near the surface. While the ore streak was not as large as ore streaks go in the Oatman sec tion, the values were quite high, the samples showing $60 or better. It is possible that this ore body will be found much more important at the 400 level and the driving of the drift to the west will soon prove the theory. George R. Hurley, one of the board of directors of the company, has looked over the property with a view of placing before the directorate a plan for the refinancing of the company. He feels that the company has an inn portant property and that further de- velopment is sure to bring in good producer. The United Eastern is just now developing the Big Jim, an ad- joining property, which is sure to be one of the large producers of the camp.

WALLAPAIS TO HAVE BIG POW-WOW IN
 MEMORY OF HERO

The Wallapai Indians are to have a big Pow-Wow, the occasion being in memory of Sam Swaskegame and Clarence w. Watson, two members of the tribe who made the supreme sac rifice. Clarence Watson died at Camp Keaney in the early days of great war and Sam Swaskegame was great war and Sa mSwaskegame was killed in action on the Marne. The Pow-Wow is to take place at King man at the full of the moon next month (June 20).
 The Wallapais were quite patriotic during the war, but only a few of its members were able to pass the physical test of the army board. Nevertheless several went from here, only two dying in service. Clarence Watson was from Chloride and died with the flu at Kearney, Sam Swas- kegame was killed in forcing the Germans back over the Marne. He was splendid soldier and was liked by all the members of his company. Lieut.-Col. Frank Strong, who was in charge of Camp Keaney, wrote the writer letter giving high praise to Sam. When he went into the trenches in France he could not con- ceive of lying behind the protecting walls of the trenches, saying to his comrades, q came over here to fight, not to hide." And to his superior officer he said: Let us go over there and clean up those Germans and then go home." No braver fellow ever wore the uniform of Uncle Sam's soldier boys than he, and we hope that the tribute to his memory, al- though it comes from the lowly red man, will be fitting.

DEVORCEE ASKS DAMAGE FOR FORMER HUSBANDS DEATH

PRESCOTT, April 15.-A suit of novel aspects is that filed against the Arizona Binghampton Copper com pany, one in which $50,0OO compensa- tion is demanded by Mrs. Jessie M. Lund, of Flagstaff, for the death in 1919 of her former husband, James A. Chapman, killed in the breaking of a mine ladder. It is claimed that the former Mrs. Chapman, at the time of the accident, was suing here for di- vorce, alleging non-support. At that time the family residence was in Je- rome, where Chapman had been in trouble with the authorities, over al- legged connection with the I. w. w., and where he was charged with hav- ing instigated a strike that shut down the mines and smelters for sev- eral months.

YUCCA NOTES

The Rodeo was at Cienaga Ranche last week.
 Bob Lowe is at home after spending several months at the San Francisco mine.
 w. P. Canan and wife were through Yucca Saturday last enroute to King man.
 There were two hops in Yucca last week. No fatalities, so far as we were able to learn.
 Mir. and Mrs. Arthur Heath and Murray Roche was in Kingman on business last Friday.
 Messrs Thad Mullen and Earl Heath have gone to Nevada for a short trip on cattle business.
 MT. and Mrs. L. c. Johnston of the Big Sandy were Sunday visitors at Buena Vista Ranche.
 MT. and Mrs. M. P. Chapman were guests of the Heaths at the IL Ranche Saturday and Sunday last.
 Jeff Bland, wife and daughter were visitors Saturday enroute to their home in Signal, after several days spent in Kingman visiting friends and relatives.
 The Barneys have gone to the Warm Springs on the Big Sandy for an indefinite stay. Mrs. Barney hopes to be much benefited by the curative powers of the waters there.
 M. P. Chapman was a passenger to Needles on the 3rd, where he went to make another visit with Dr. Charles ton. He is making fine progress un- der the Dr.'s care, and thinks the eff fects of the flu are about nil.
 Continued winds, and dry weather make the cowmen feel pretty blue. Add to that the inflated CD prices off, fered for their best steers, it seems the woes of Job have nothing on the present producer. Anyway the owner of steer can eat him, and some folks may go hungry unless the present policy of Shylock is terminated. No use, to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Better have hopes than nothing.

NOON TIME CLAIMS
 SHOW PROMISE

Ross Housholder has just completed a survey of the Noon Time group of mines, situated about 5000 feet south east from the present workings on the Gold Chain mine, over in the Union Pass section. The location or title work on this group has disclosed ore carrying values running from $1.5O to $12.S6 per ton. Senator Curtin recently made locations be- tween the Noon Time vein and the Gold Chain, on which indications were found to be very good. The Oatman Revenue is just east of these claims.

LEAVE THE PITT
 MAN ACT ALONE

The demand of the 'Tonopah miners organization that congress repeal the Pittman silver purchase act unless the operators maintain the present wage scale paid to silver miners would re. suit so disastrously if carried into ex- ecution that one can hardly believe it was seriously meant. No set of persons would suffer more from such a step than the silver miners them selves and the injury that it would work to other industries of the state, wholly innocent of the controversy in the southern camp, would be as dam- aging as it would be unjustified.
 As Senator Putnam very sensibly stated in his reply to the miners or ganization it would be impractical to include in the silver purchase act provision that it's benefits would not extend to operating companies reduc- ing existing wage scales, and further more that this is no time to bring the act before congress, owing to an or ganized movement among the power ful class of Eastern bankers for it's repeal.
 7: The settlement of industrial dis ,putes can never be brought about by the wrecking of industry. The Tono- pah controversy should be calmly con sidered upon the actual issues involv- ed and with a sensible spirit of tolera- tion a reconciliation can be affected between the companies and the men employed in their properties.
 Meanwhile, unless the miners at Tonopah are determined to paralyze the mining industry in this state and throw thousands of men out of work in other camps, they should leave the Pittman act alone.-Reno Gazette. READ THE .MOHAVE MINER FOR

 My one objection was to have her visit conclude before Jim came home.
 I didn't want Evvy intrduing on our | meeting. But I soon perceived that 1 Iyvy's object was to remain until Jim came. She insisted on being shown
 over the apartment and fingered with no seeming thought of time until Jim | marched in on us.

 in seeming confusion. 'Oh. Jimmie. dear-what a. lovely nest you've built
 for Anne! It makes me want-a little place of my own.''

 ''Of course you must stay.'' I said "I haven't a nest like this," said
 Evvy huskily, looking up at Jim. But I've the old homestead You
