SHIPMENTS OF BULLION
FROM DOUGLAS GROW

DOUGLAS, Aug. 9 = Predictions
that copper shipments from Douglas
to eastern retineries during the
month OF August will exceed all
monthly records since long before the
smslters closed down a year ago,
were made yesterday by railway Of
ficials in touch with the bullion situa-
ton.
During the month Of July, 1922,
there was adecrease OF over half a
million pounds under the bullion ship
ments for previous month OF June.
according to railway figures, but
present indications are that the ship
ments for the current month Of aug
ust will total 100000 pounds or
over.
During June the bullion shipments
totalIed 1852 $40 pounds, and in July
they amounted to 11.s55.32O. a de-
crease OF over 100000 pounds. These
figures are contrasted with shipments
for the same months Of 1921, when
3,429,0s0 pounds were shipped in
June, and only 1,0i2,650 were ship
ped in July.
Observers Of the copper situation
in this district, base their predic
tions of an immediate and substantial
increase in bullion shipments from
Douglas. on the fact that heavy ship
meuts OF concentrates have been com
ing in from Nacozari.
The Moctezuma Copper company in
Nacozari resumed operations several
weeks ago, but did not begin shipping
until about July l. Since that time an
average of six or seven carloads OF
concentrates has been crossing the
border to the Copper Queen smelter
every day, according to railway Off
Gals, and there is said TO be every
indication that these shipments will
increase.
Much OF the work on the Moctezu-
ma Copper company since the mine
resumed operations. is said TO have
been in new construction and when
this is finished, which will be with
in a short time, railway ficials look
for an immediate increase in ore
shipments from that district The
normal output OF the Moctezuma Cop
per company is about Is cars of con-
centrates a day, railway figures show

REDUCTION OF ARMY
PLANNED BY MExicANS

DOUGLAS, Aug. 9.-Word was re-
ceived in Douglas yesterday by Mexi
can officials of the intention OF the
Mexican secretary of war and marine
TO reduce military garrisons where
ever il is believed that conditions are
quiet enough to warrant the reduc-
tiun.
This policy, which is said to be dis
tated by motives of economy, will
not affect the northern portion Of the
republic. according to the adyices re-
ceived here, but will involve a num-
Der Of states in the southern portion
Of Mexico, where the government has
established itself firmly.
Orders have already been given for
the reduction Of the military forces
in the state Of Morelos, by Carlos A
Vidal, assistant secretary Of war for
Mexico Four hundred officers are
included in the orders for demobiliza-
ton. which do not contemplate re-
tanning the men in service, or their
transfer to other points, but heir alb
solute severance from the army.
While Sonora is thoroughly pacified
local Mexican officials do not be-
lieve there will be any attempt to
reduce garrisons in that state, as the
army forces in the northern part Of
the republic are already reduced to a
minimum.

INTEREST AROUSED OVER
PROPOSED NATURALIZATION
OF COLORADO RIVER

BISBEE. Ariz.. Aug. with the
Diamond Greek site as the battle
ground. the fight over California's
proposal TO nationalize the Colorado
River is growing keener each day,
Every section of the state appears
TO be awakening at last TO the reali-
cation that development of the river
along its course through Arizona is
an issue that means more to Arizona
than any other state.
The fight Is gradually centering
around the Diamond Creek, or Grand
project. for the reason that the Dia-
mond Creek dam is the only project,
of the several proposed. construction
of which is being delayed only be-
cause OF the refusal Of the federal
power commission TO issue a final
permit TO James B. Grand, former
state engineer. who located the site
in 1913
Grand. who is associated with Gen.
John c. Greenway and Dr. L. D. Rick
etts, has announced that he is ready
&c proceed a; Diamond Creek with
the erection of 300-foot dam. capa-
BILE OF generating 100000 horsepower,
just as soon as his license is grant
ed.
Many engineers have declared the
site an excellent one, and scores Of
individuals and organizations in Ari-
coma have wired and written 20 Wash
ington urging that the license be
granted in order that Arizona may
derive some actual returns from the
development OF the river instead Of
waiting many years for the govern
ment to thresh out the question.
This action has been ispired chief
~ through the fact that the Diamond
Greek project will in no way hamper
the development Of any other project
now under consideration on the Colo,
RADIO river.
The most recent endorsements Of
the Diamond Creek dam were those
of Congressman Carl Hayden ani
George Maxwell, the latter for many
years a recognized authority on the
Colorado river
Each held that delay of 'ae power
commission IN granting the final per.
mi, was only keeping Arizona from
getting cheap power from a project
that would obviously not interfere
with any other construction along the
river Directors of the Phoenix
Chamber OF Commerce have also gone
on record in favor OF the Diamond
Creek project, after a special investi.
eating committee reported that there
was 3 demand Tor cheap power and
that the Diamond Creek dam could
furnish cheap power in the shortest
time

the annual county budget, following
hearing which occupied most OF the
day at which members of the Cochise

neer Sid Smyth explaining the vari-
Gus amounts included in the budget.
He also called attention 10 an anony-
nous letter being circulated by GER
tain Bisbee parties wherein il is al
penditures showing percentage of en-
gineering expense. Mr.. Smyth brand
ed the report as misleading and I'M
fair political propaganda inasmuch as
the total expense shown is only for
a year while Cor the engineering ex-
pense the totals are for IS months
and were represented TO be for a year,
greatly exaggerating the percentage
OF engineering expense. Just who was
responsible for the alleged misleading
report was not revealed, the taxpay-
ers present disclaiming any knowl-
edge OF its origin. Mr.. Smyth. how
ever promised to ascertain who was
responsible for the anonymous re
port, if possible.
Outside OF reduction in the road
budget which was the only cut re-
quested. the budget was finally adopt
ed by the board Of supervisors, with
some few changes in the school
budget proposed by Supt Miss Helen
Brown

QUESTION IN PETITIONS

ments 20 the Law. was raised today in
the filing of petitions of several cam

the point in order that no candidate
may be left off the ballot, an opinion
has been requested by NJ. C. Hankins,
clerk Of the board of supervisors.
from Attorney Geenral ". J. CAL

The point raised is whether or not
2 candidate either for the legislature
or for supervisors, must file his nom
nation papers with names represent
ing a percentage OF the whole coun-
" or merely from his district II
from the county as whole, candi-
dates must file not more than three
nor more than 10 per cent OF the
amount Of votes cas-: for governor at
the previous election. The same ap-
plies if the requirement covers only
the district, but whether the Law pro-
yides that they file from districts or
from the county as whole is the
question raised. which may mean
,rouble for some Of the candidates. it
is pointed out, since, if a candidate
files in some instances over three per
cent IT may mean that he has exceed
cd the ten per cent required il the
county as a whole is decided upon,
and a number OF candidates are in a
ouandry as to what course to pursue

They are, however, being advised
To secure enough names to file suffi-
