DEVELOPMENT OF BIG
 SODIUM DEPOSIT ASSURED

Pending the arrival of machinery for the washing plant, little is being done at the Camp Verde sodium sulphate deposit.
 Plans for the plant are now being completed by the Western Chemical company's engineers, and the machin- cry will be on the ground about six weeks hence.
 Not all the sulphate will be wash ed. Much of it is 9S per cent pure and will be shipped just as it is taken out of the ground. But there are frequent layers impregnated with earth and other impurities which must be wash ed out. After the washing is accom- plished and the cleansed powdered sul- phate recrystalizes, it will be sawed into blocks.
 It is planned to ship no less than 200 tons day asNsoon as the wash ing plant gets into operation.\ The Western Chemical company has con tracts to furnish Finnish paper mills with this amount. The sulphate is to be delivered on the dock at San Pedro and the Films will themselves see to its transportation across the oceans. Clemenceau will be the shipping point.
 All necessary exploration work has been done. The existence of limit less deposit of sulpkate has been dem onstrated. Therefore no development is being done now except Frank Cram CT is driving a tunnel under contract. Verde Copper News.

NO TRACE OF FUGTTIVES
 WHO HELD UP OFFICERS

Although three men in an automo- bile, who were wanted in Yuma in con- nection with the burglarizing of a store, were reported yesterday to be speeding toward Phoenix, deputies of the sheriff's office at Phoenix had been unable last night and this morn- ing to find trace of them.
 The three men were encountered yesterday morning near Gila Bend by Constable w. A. O'Neill, of that place. He reported later that when he in- formed them they were under arrest, they overpowered him, pinioned his wrists with his own handcuffs, took him to an arroyo and planned to kill him. He said he dissuaded them and they sped away in the direction of Phoenix.
 Still shackled, the constable walked back to Gila Bend.

EXPECTS ATTEMPT AT ANTI
 TOBACCO STATE LEGISLATION

That there will be proposed legisla- tion against the use of tobacco in the state of Arizona during the coming session of the state legislature is the belief of Con Cronin, state librarian, who has received numerous requests from members-elect for data on the subject.
 While there are threats with every legislative session that drastic anti tobacco laws will be made, they usu- ally dwindle away. However, the movement has been so strong in cer- tain counties of the state that in one county tobacco is only sold in two of the cities. The sale of tobacco has virtually been stopped in Navajo coun- ty, it is said, and those who are "agin"i it" are so dead set against the use of the weed that they are going to attempt to at least start something with the legislature.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT
 OATMAN NEW YEARS

One of the most startling tragedies ever enacted in this county was brought to light at Oatman early New Years Eve, when an Investigating friend found the bodies of Claude Head and wife cold in death in their little home. Husband and wife were fully dressed, the woman having the appearance of having gone calmly to sleep, while the man had evidently died in much pain. Beside the bed on "a little table. were two glasses that had apparently been used for the death potion, beside which was part of an orange. The interior of the glasses showed white, indicating, ac- cording to the best information ob- tainable that potassium cyanide had been used for the death code.
 Claude Head has been assistant postmaster at Oatman the past sever al years and was one of the most pop ular young fellows in the big gold camp. About three months ago he was welded to Miss Grace Carstock a most winsome young lady. king man Miner.

HERDERS' WAGES GOING
 DOWN ALONG WITH WOOL

Burr W. Porter, the successful sheep and wool dealer of Navajo, was here this week to attend the meeting of board of supervisors. Mir. Porter said his best grade wool netted him IA cents in Boston, while for the same grade of wool year, ago he received 47 cents. That is the condition the wool grower has to face. Until re- gently wages of sheep herders have been from $60 to S75 per month, but they are now being reduced to $40 and in some cases as low as S30. Mir. Porter, who employs large number of herders, has cut their wages S30 per month, he stated. He had no trou- ble in getting men from Albuquerque to take the places of those who would not stand for the reduction in wages. St. Johns Observer.

THE FEDERATED, CHURCH

We surely do feel that God is work ing in the hearts of the people of this community. We do so much appreci- ate the increased attendance at the services. A general good supper fol- lowed by very fine reports of the years work in the various depart ments of the church, was given last Friday evening at the Presbyter- ian church. The every-member can vass put on Sunday afternoon met with splendid response. The officials of the church have decided to conduct a special evangelistic service some time between the 18th of February and Easter. A good evangelist and singer will be secured if suitable dates can be met. Let us all unite in prayer that God may lead in all our plans for the year. The following would be a splendid goal for each of us to set for the year:

$lO7,725,OOO IN PRECIOUS METALS PRODUCED IN
 ARIZONA IN 1920

More than $1OO,OOO,OOO worth of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc was produced in Arizona in 1920, according to Victor c. Heikes, of the United States geological survey, department of interior, the exact amount being S1O7, ,725 ,000, decrease of nearly $3,- 033,000.
 The quantity of all these metals ex- cept zinc increased, but the total out put of 1919 was far below the aver age for the previous five years. In spite of the increase in the quantity of most of the metals and in the total value of the gold, silver, and lead, the combined value of all the metals was less on account of the low price of copper. During the last two months of the year, when the price of copper fell below 15 cents pound, many of

MRS. EARTH, PIONEER,
 DIES AT ST. JOHNS

Refugia Landavazo Earth, wife of Solomon Earth, passed to her reward Friday morning, Jan. 2, at 4:45. Death came peacefully, after day and night of suffering. Mrs. Earth was first taken i'll on Dec. %, but week later she got up and seemed to be al- most well. Then she took a relapse and did not again leave her bed.
 Mrs. Earth was 66 years old, having been born at Cubero, N. M., on March F, 1855. She was married at that place to Solomon Earth in the year 1874, and the same year they came to St. Johns, where they have since made their home.

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED HERE AND THERE N THE STATE

the large copper companies again cur tailed production.
 The gold production by mines in Ar izona increased from $4,506, ,413 in 1919 to about $4,6S6,000 in 1920. This in crease was result of the slight im- provement in the production of gold from copper ore and the steady out put from the Oatman region. More than half the output of gold from Ar izona came from gold ores in the San Francisco district, in Mohave county. The United Eastern company remain ed the largest producer of gold in the state, and the Tom Reed company con- tinued its large output. Of the copper properties, the Calumet and Arizona United Verde and Copper Queen mines were the largest producers of gold.

POSTMASTERSHIP
 CONTEST IS ACTIVE

That an interesting political fight is on tap in Bisbee when the selection of a postmaster is made is forecast by the amount of rumor and fixing" that is now going on in the Warren district. Three candidates are said to be in the field. They are P. M. Kelly, T. B. Buck Read and c. w. Hicks.
 NJ. F.. Cassidy, said to be the repub- lican boss, so far as federal appoint ments are concerned in Cochise coun- ty, is said to be behind Pat Kelly for the job. Kelly has other support in addition. The other part of the re- publican organization is said to be split between Read and Hicks.

SAW MILL AT COOLEY LETS
 OUT BIG BUNCH OF MEN

The management of the big saw mill at Cooley is laying off large number of employees, about two hundred of them, and sixty-five came down on the train this morning from that place and the rest of them are expected to pass through tomorrow.
 This does not mean that the mill is to shut down entirely, as one saw mill will be kept going in order to not get behind on their tie contract with the Santa Fe company.
 Reports of the reason for letting out so many men is on account of the money stringency, hence making no demand for lumber, but that full force will be put on again just as soon as things open up.-Snowfake Herald.

PROBES STORY OF COAL
 DEALERS SHORT WEIGHTS

R. F. Merritt, state inspector of weights and measures, left for Bisbee to investigate report that he had re- ceived that Bisbee coal dealers were selling coal at short weight.
 The version which reached the in- spector was that dealers sacked their coal last summer and that since that time the weight had declined 6 to 10 pounds to sack. It was alleged to have been sold at the summer weight, however. The report, officials said, was received from P. H. Halleck, 9 deputy inspector.

OPPOSE FORDNEY TARIFF

London Considers Measure.

London, October 12.-Oppositioi
to clauses of the Fordney tariff bill
providing for American valuation o..
imports, was announced by tht
American Chamber Of Commerce here
today after careful consideration O..
the measure.
The chamber claims the clauses
must handicap and prevent the free
exchange of goods. 1t contends II
would be difficult for American i'm
porters to ascertain the complete
cost Of their foreign purchases until
received in the United States and
also that 1t would be difficult for
foreign shippers to make quota

Suggestions that a nat increase
duty would be preferable to the val.
uatton clauses are put forward by
the chamber, which says it feels
the United States should foster anu
encourage the flow of goods between

unimpaired dow of goods is the only
means of creating funds for the pur-
chase Of those American comu.odi l.
ties Of which other nations stand in
