The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-10-13

White City, the notorious outlaw settlement adjacent to the Fort Hua- chuca military reservation in Cochise county, has been closed for keeps, as the result of a recent visit to the post and its environs by Attorney General w. j. Galbraith and Sheriff Joe Hood.
 Experience of the past few years has shown that it is a comparatively easy matter to close up, but to keep it closed was quite another matter. Time after time the county attorney has ordered the bootleggers, cattle rustlers. gamblers and prostitutes who make up 90 per cent Of it's po- pulation to move on, and time after time they have merely waited for the authorities to disappear around the corner and then quietly opened up again.
 White City has proven to be a plague spot for all sorts of crimes, and as such has been not only a men ace to the fort with it's 700 or 500 colored troopers, but to ranchers and farmers residing in the vicinity. Re cods of the state prison show that there are no less than ten prisoners serving long terms for crimes grow ing out of the proximity of this ill tanned resort tC the military rese va- tion. Only recently another brutal murder was committed.
 It was this condition and the seem ing inability of the local authorities to do anything about it that caused residents of the section and Col. Ed win B. Winans, commanding officer of the post, to appeal for assistance.
 As the first step the governor un- dertook to determine if the existing laws were sufficiently broad to secure a permanent abatement of the vice conditions. He asked the attorney general what he thought about 1t and that official gave written opinion. expressing his conviction that there is plenty of law on the statute books to close White City and keep it closed.

AR|z. COPPER PRODUCERS OPPOSE DELAY. IN COLORADO RIVER POWER DEVELOPMENT

Competitive conditions Iii the cop per mining industry are such as to make certain that the copper mining companies of Arizona will do all in their power to secure early action by the Federal Power Commission which will allow them to construct a large hydro-electric plant on the Colorado River. The extension of the preliminary permit granted James B. Girand will expire on Oct 19! The indications at this writing are that the commission will not be in position at that time to issue the license. It is understood that ar engagements have been made where by Mir Girand will assign the license, when granted, to the copper com panies. according to the Engineering and Mining Journal-Press or New York
 The copper producers in Arizona must compete with those of Montana and Utah. The Montana producers are supplied power by the Montana Power Co.,, which produces about the cheapest power to be had in the United States. That company is in position to add any amount that may be required to it's power output py QeNoioplnS auQ1LlOna1 sites along the Missouri River and on the Flat head River. The Utah copper pro- ducers also are supplied with com paratively cheap power, and for them plenty of additional power is ob- tainable from the Green River.
 On the other hand, the Arizona pro- ducers are depending on fuel oil. They already are suffering on ac- count of it's increased cost, and there Is no certainty that future increases will not reach point where the op. erations of the Arizona companies
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-10-13

will be curtailedl seriously Their situation is such that they will exert every effort to expedite the develop ment of Colorado River power.
 The Diamond Creek development, which is that covered by the Grand permit, was recommended by the engineers who studied the situation Tor the copper companies. These engineers, which included represen- tatives of the Montana Power Co.,, found that the Arizona copper pro- ducers would be justified in the heavy expense that would be entailed by the projected works and by the installation necessary to convey the power all the way from the Colorado River to Clifton and Globe As this probably will require a 22O,OO0-v. in stallation, the cost is estimated at $34,000 per mile.
 The Federal Power Commission was ready to issue the Grand license, but in view of very insistent objec- tion on the part of those directly concerned with the proposed devel- opement at Boulder Canyon, it was necessary to extend the preliminary permit with the purpose of encour- aging negotiations through which an understanding could be reached. The commission does not want to. see this large market for power taken away from the 6OO,O0O hp. de- velopment proposed at that point. The Secretary of the Interior one of the members of the Federal Power Commission, is opposed to the Dia- mond Creek development. as is Ar thur P. Davis, the Director of the Y. s. Reclamation Service.

Year Long Hunt
 Ends In Arrest

PHOENIX, Oct 102-Charged with the murder of Walter Steinbrook at Turkey Creek, Yavapai county, in December, 1920, Frank La Grange and his wife, arrested yesterday at Globe, today were taken to Prescott by Sheriff Joe Dillon, of Yavapai county. The La Oranges were brought to Phoenix late last night and held in the county jail here until they were turned over to the Yava- pal county sheriff.
 The murder of Steinbrook, accord ing to the authorities, was a crime of revolting fiendishness and brutality
 The La Oranges and Steinbrook were neighbors, it is stated One day Steinbrook announced that he was going away. He bid all his friends in the neighborhood goodby He had in his possession, Sheriff Dillon said, about $1,O00. That was December 26, 1920
 Not long after Steinbrook had left Turkey Creek the police say, the La Oranges also disappeared.
 In June, 1921, Steinbrook's body, literally hacked to pieces with an axe or a hatchet, was found in an old abandoned shaft The arms, legs, hands and feet had been cut off and were apprehended in an old gunny sack. A search of the farm where the La Oranges had lived followed, and according to the officers, in a pile of ashes were found buttons and bits of a mans trousers which, it was asserted had been worn by Steinbrook
 The arrest of the La Oranges at Globe yesterday, Sheriff Dillon said. ended a search that had been started over a year ago.

Cleveland Dodge Says No Immediate Change
 In Copper Situation

No immediate change may be eX- pected in the copper situation for some time, but there will at least be no unfavorable change in present conditions"
 That was the opinion expressed last week by Cleveland H. Dodge Jr. director of the Phelps Dodge Cor poration, who has been a visitor in the district for the past week, de parting for the east on Tuesday morn ing last. MT. Dodge is son ot Cleveland H. Dodge, noted capitalist and philanthropist and head of the Near East Relief work in this coun- try. MT. Dodge was accompanied by his wife and was the guest of Capt. ]. P. Hodgson, manager of the Mo renci Branch. while here.
 It is very hard to give an opinion on the copper situation because Gf the great upset in Europe which keeps conditions unsettled" said MT. Dodge However. I look for present condi- tions to continue for some time, and do not believe that there will be any unfavorable changes. We hope, of course. for general improvement"

 vantage and Colorado has outbought
 and outbid California feeder buyers
 for two weeks, aud probably half of
 these Colorado steers will later come
 to California. The meat demand of Los Angeles is growing to such an extent it is affecting distant markets, and there seems no stop to the in Aux of people.
 The stockyards will be open for
 business Nov. 1st and improvements so far made exceed half million outlay of cash by the stockyards syn dfcate. The plan is still being op- posed by the California Cattle Assn. It is being equally backed by dairy men and pure bred interests. Farm papers locally, newspapers and farm bureau sources representing varied agriculture seem almost unanimous for it. Fred Golfer of Arizona, and thousands of prominent southwest cattlemen, who have been bitter in their championship of the cattle in dustry and condemnation of certain packer practices are strong in sup port of stockyards for Los Angeles. The l.. A. Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Dept. has been strong Tor new market plan. In one one month the cattle price will show us by test whether stockyards are benefit or detriment. I am a lone voice crying in the wilderness on the stock, COW question and these stock cows at their prices in drought districts and any price from $20 to S35 are such a bargain for any man who has the grass and money that am appalled, at the lack of morale and Judgement that prevails among those cattle states which have the feed and the money. It costs from $50 to $50 to raise a good COW today on present expense if the producer figures a fair profit, and any Staple commodity is worth in fact such cost. When it can be bought at a half to a third of what it would cost to pro- duce and when a general shortage is as certain as day follows, night. things get down to the question of how long it takes, but there is no question of the inevitable result. ! Buy COWS and build the herds for its | sure to happen in cattle what has 1 happened in sheep, and a thousand | other ranch commodities
 From a feeding standpoint these | half fat cows at from to cents | show better possible profits on cheap 1 feed than steers at 6 cents, for if 1 he winter beef price goes to g cents | as expected, the winter fat COW | price is sure to go to 7.50, for the cow is easier to buy at than the l steer at 6.
 There is no reason on earth that | ,attle should be so cheap, except the | act the cattlemen are generally de- ! and will not generally de- nand a fair profit price for a pro- luct that already is nationally short n supply as compared to demand.
