CHINESE SLAIN IN SLEEP
 NEAR STATE CAPITAL

Phoenix, July 1.-Two Chinese were shot and killed on a truck farm mile and one quarter south of Phoe- nix, at midnight tonight, under cir cumstances which attaches of the sheriff's office say point to struggle getween two tongs.
 The two who were shot were sleep ing with seven other Chinese when the shooting occurred, according to the story told to the officers by the others. One of the seven said that he was aroused by the shots in time tc see two masked men run from the camp. He said there apparently had been no attempt made to rob the camp.

Bulletins announcing that the Stock Growers Finance corporation is ready to receive applications for redis- c3unss rom banks and cattle loan ccrnar'cs were received this week.
 Loans in this insance come as . re- suit of the S5O,0O0,000 pool created by New York and Chicago banks.
 Western bankers advocated loans being made direct to cattlemen by the corporation without the necessity for either an indorsement of bank or cattle loan association.
 Bankers Not JubiIant
 Just the contrary has been the plan adopted by the finance corporation in now recurring these inducements. Local bankers are of the opinion that this will not prove satisfactory. One of the effects the agreement will have will be to make the banks entirely re- sponsible for the loans ill each ln- stance While it is stated the banks are always glad to accommodate their customers in every way possible the method provided for by the corpora ;ion would place tremendous burden on them.
 One of the necessities, it is stated, would be for the banks to hold them selves continually in readiness to meet and pay the obligation should circumstances transpire which would make it impossible for the real bor- rower to do this.

CHAINS MEXICAN BOOZE
 RUNNERS TO POST

Willcox-George Langford, deputy sheriff on the south side of the Hua- chuca mountains, near SunnySide, about 3 weeks ago caught two MeXi- cans with quantity of mescal. The men were riding two good horses. Langford placed them under arrest and wrote a letter to Jeff Milton, for whom he was working, to notify the sheriff's office at Tombstone to come after the MeXicans.
 The mail leaves the Sunnyside dis trict once week and did not reach Milton until late Thursday night. He notified the sheriff's office and on Friday, Milton and Sheriff Hood went out to get the Mexicans.
 When they arrived they found that 1angford, after having kept the Mex jeans chained to a post for a week. had released them that morning to take little stroll. They could not be found.
 Langford stated that he decided the officers were not coming SD he thought that he would let the MeXi- cans loose for awhile. Their outfit was kept however horses, saddles and the mescal. The latter however the sheriff said, was so bad that it was destroyed.

General Manager Is In New York
 For Conference

Norman Carmichael, General Mall =ager of The Arizona Copper Co. Ltd returned to New York City the first part of the week where he was called for conference related to the pend- ing negotiations for the purchase of the holdings of The Arizona Copper Co. Ltd, in this district by Phelps Dodge Corporation.
 Mrs Carmichael and children pro- 4ceeded to California where they will be joined later by MT. Carmichael on a vacation of several weeks in Brit ish Columbia.
 Nothing more definite regarding the progress of the negotiations be- tween The Arizona Copper Go. Ltd. and Phelps Dodge Corporation has been given out here since the last is- sue of the ERA, and it is intimated that no official announcement will be forthcoming until the stockholders of the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd, have been afforded the opportunity of eX- pressing their opinion on the proposi- tion to sell.
 1t is believed, however, that num- Der of the large stockholders in the Scottish company, have already been sounded by the directors on the pro- position and that the A. c. Go. Ltd. directors are proceeding with the as Surance that their action will be sup ported by a large majority of the stockholders.
 It is not expected that any definite official announcement will be forth coming until sometime next month as it will require that much time to submit the action of the directors to the stockholders, some five or six thousand in numbers, scattered in all parts of the world.
 Locally the impression is strong that the negotiations have already been practically completed between the respective boarsd of each com pany; that the action of the A. c. Go directors will be endorsed hv the stockholders, and that within short time, the operation of the two mining properties will be in the hand: of Phelps Dodge Corporation.
 Speculation is rife as to what the new program will be in this distric in the event that the biz holdings q the A. c. Go. Ltd. pass into the hand: of Phelps Dodge. The prevalent opin ion is that with the copper situation returned to normal bigger operation and production may be expected.
 In the absence of any official an nouncement, pro or con, the situation for the present has resolved itsei into one of surmise and conjecture with the indication pointing strongl. however, that consolidation of tn two big mining companies in this dis trict has already been effected.

Dependency Is Cause of Suicide
 Al Ranch Home

In fit of despondency brought on by continued i'll health herself, and breeding over the illness of her son. Sidney who was in the Clifton nos pital, where he underwent an oper.t- ton for appendicitis this week Mrs. 1hos. Butcher committed suicide at the ranch home of her son, Archie, on Bonita creek, Tuesday morning.
 There were present at the ranch at the time of the sad occurance the womn's son, Archie Fulcher her brother s. Armertrout, Mig Stockton and his wife, daughter of the de- ceased.
 Archie Fulcher, Sam Armertrout, and Mig Stockton were at the corral
 short distance from the house en- gagged in shoeing horses Tuesday morning where they were later joined by Mrs. Stockton and Mrs. Fulcher. There was nothing unusual in the ac- ' tions of Mrs. Fulcher at the time to excite suspicion that she might be contemplating the rash act which was to follow few minutes later She engaged in the general conversation and presently withdrew from the cor { Tdl ana prOCG0QoQ LOWarQS the house. ] A few minutes later there was the report of a gun and when her sons
 and daughter rushed into the kitchen | of the house Mrs. Butcher was found ] in dying condition from a self in- l f1icted wound from a gunshot quarter of an inch above the heart
 Mrs. Fulcher, fatally wounded was still on her feet when entrance to the
 house was gained.
 Pm sorry was the only words
 uttered before she collapsed. Death
 ensued within five minutes after the
 shot was fired.
 The weapon used was a 25-35 rife
 which Mrs. F'ulcher had picked up out } side of the house when she entered
 Placing the butt of the weapon on the floor she had leaned over the muzZle
 of the rife and pulled the trigger. The dead body was brought to Clifton on a pack animal from the ranch and taken to the Pascoe Under taking Parlors on Tuesday evening
 Funeral services were held on Wed l nesday and interment made in the , Masonic cemetary.

The metal output of Arizona will probably be less in 1921 than for many years, according to V. c. Heikes of the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior In January, February, and March copper was being produced at the rate of about 35,000,00 pounds month in stead of about 4G,O0O 900 pounds month as in 1920. In April however, the market for copper was so poor . that most of the large producers of copper stopped mining and smelting ore. As copper is the metal produced most largely in Arizona, the produc- tion of the associated metals will be correspondingly decreased. The cop per produced In Arizola amounted to 55S, ,256,302 po"u1s in 1920, valt'c l at $1O2, ,719160, against S,1Q0 S44 pounds in 1919 valued at $100,08f, ,75I. Under present conditions it will be surprising if Arizona produces 200,- 100000 pounds of copper in 1921. The plant of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Go. at Humboldt was closed in December, 1920 and the smelters at Douglas, Clifton, Hayden, Miami, and Globe were closed in April or

Word was brought to Clifton this week by ranchers living on the upper Blue River giving an account of the narrow escape from drowning eXperi- enced by !. l.. Duke) iawalt and Al Bishop, who were caught in raging torrent that swept down the river OH July 3rd.
 For the past two months MT. Await has been visiting at the ranch of Bishop & Williams, where he went from Clifton for an outing and pro- speeding trip. On the morning of July 3rd Await and Bishop started for Luna in a wagon, driving two splendid work horses Above the ranch the wagon road winds in and out of the river bed. crossing and recrossing the stream.

stimulated production at several of the old silver camps, specially at Tombstone, in Cochise county. The shipment of ore from the Bunker Hill mines at Tombstone continued dur ing the first three months of 1921, but later the output was reduced oWins to the closing of the smelters at Dou- glas. In June arrangements were made for shipping this ore to Fl Paso, Tex. Much silver ore ana 'caiiings were also being shipped from the Commonwealth mine at Pearce.
 The output of lead in 1920 was T. H55,92 pounds, an increase from 10, 203.G7S pounds in 1919. The price of lead decreased from cents pound in 1920 to about 4.6 cents early in 1921. The Shattuck Arizona Mining Co, which shipped much lead concen. trate to El Paso in 1920, was idle early in 1921, and the output of lead ore from other properties was small : The Arizona Hillside mine, in Yava pai County, the only producer of zinc ore in 1920, was idle in 1921.
 Dividends were paid in the first five months of 1921 by the United Eastern. Phelps Dodge, Miami, Calu met. & Arizona, United Verde, and United Verde Extension companies.
