The central Pacific Case.

Statements made by the presidents Of
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads with respect to the Central
Pacific were read with great deal OF
interest in local railroad circles. The
belief prevails that no serious considera-
ton will be given to a change In the
ownership of the Central Pacific until
after the United States Supreme Court
has acted on the Southern Pacinc's $
petition for rehearing OF the case.
which will be hled within the next sixty
days. There is a strong possibility that
the final outcome will be deal under
which the two larger roads will have
Joint use and ownership Of the Central
Pacific. There are numerous examples
of this kind in the transportation indus
try, including the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac. which Is jointly con-
trolled by six roads having terminals
in Washington: the Chicago. Indian
apolis and Louisville, which jointly
serves the Southern and Louisville and
Nashville Atlantic Coast Line systems.
and many other small roads which are
Joint facilities of two or more larger
carriers.

Market stage. comeb.cls.

The way In which stocks snapped
back in the closing period Of yesterdays
session left little doubt as to the real
reason for the break of Monday. II
there had been any reason to believe
that the selling Of Monday was the kind
Of selling which the financial community
characterizes as good" It Is not be-
lieved generally among market experts
that the rally yesterday would have
been SO pronounced or so easily accom-
plished. When stocks began to move
upward there was virtually mn re-
sistance to their advance. Whether
Mondays sharp break marked the end
OF the shake-out, which every man who
is familiar with market movements has
been expecting. is a moot point in the
financial community, There are many
who believe that Mondays drastic de-
cline accomplished a thorough cleaning
which few years ago would have re-
quired from a week to ten days to get
out OF the way. There are others. on
the other hand. who maintain that
while probably the major part OF the
reaction Is behind, II is not unlikely that
further soft spots will develop from
time to time, after which the market
will become dull and inactive until con-
fidence has been completely restored.

Bethlehcm-wickwire.

The possibility Of a merger Of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation with the
Wickwire-Spencer Steel Company. or
rather the absorption Of the latter by
Bethlehem, which was suggested some
time ago, appears to be nearer to work.
ing out at present than 1t has at any
time in the past. Officials of the Beth
lehem company, together with George F.
Downs, president of Lackayanna Steel
Company, which Bethlehem recently
ACQUIRED, are inspecting the various
plants Of the Wickwire company. ac-
cording to telegraphic advices received
in New York Little doubt is felt that
there can be but one purpose behind
such an inspection. At the time the
bethlehem company announced its pur-
chase Of Lackawanna, Eugene G. Grace,
Bethlehenrs president. said that about
the only properties lacking to make
Bethlehem a completely rounded out
organization were tube plant and
wire plant. He added that the corpora
ton probably would build its own tube
plant, but when questioned regarding
overtures to the Wickwtre company.
which has excellent wire plant facilities,
he was extremely reticent and declined
to discuss the matter at all.

Arbitragins the steels.

There are a few hardy traders VINO
are selling the present spread between
tho market values Of the andependent
steels and their theoretical values oaseo
on the terms of the steel merger ana
the current price Of the North American
steel Corporation stock as an opportu-
ritv IN mark down a substantial profit.
The very fact that so wide spread ex-
lists, as for instance In Republic. which
is about ten points under its theoretical
value, has scared ar0itrageurs away
fro the proposition In the BELIEF that
the merger will never be actually con-
summated. Nevertheless. there are
enough traders to be found who are will
ins to take that chance IN order 70 oo-
tain a possible profit OF ten points The
same IS true with reference to the tobac-
co merger, except that its conSummation
is declared by leaders OF the companies
interested to be certain.

Dawson Chemical.

There is no doubt that the sharp
break In Dawson Chemical shares Just
before the close Monday undermined
confidence In that issue to a material
extent. It was more than half way
through yesterdays session before real
buying made it's appearance in the
market. Timid holders who received the
newspaper reports Of the ten point de-
cline In Dawson on Monday made haste
TO sell their holdings at the opening yes
terday, fearing further heavy loss. AS
n result initial transactions were at 43.
off three more points. and the lowest
mark Of the day. When this selling had
been dlgested, however, and some sup
port became apparent, the stock ad-
vanced gradually to high OF 1sh. up
more than three points from Mondays
closing quotations.

No Kennecott Dividend.

The failure OF the directors OF the
Kennecott Copper Corporation at their
meeting yesterday to. declare dividend
en- the stock was distinct disappoint-
ment to many owners OF Kennecott
shares who had believed that such action
could be expected. Tho board failed to
make any statement after the meeting
and this was construed In some quarters
AS indicating that the dividend question
would be considered again in the near
future. 1t was pointed out that one OF
the chief executive officers OF tho COM
pany had said the stock would be on a
dividend basis this summer and It was
generally believed that the failure to
make any statement yesterday indicated
the probability Of action in the near fu-
ture. The rate which will be inaugurated
by the directors. 1t IL expected. will be
81 a year.

IS THE J. s. ROAD
 ASSOCIATION GOING TO HELP OLD TRAILS?

The United States Good Roads as-
 sociation has asked the different or
 ganizations of northern Arizona to appoint delegates to the meeting of that organization, at Phoenix, from the 24th to the 29th of this month, but just why the request We are un- able to ferret out. The United States Good Roads association, so far as we can see, has merged itself into what is known as the Bankhead National Highway ,and which has for it's ob- ject the building of just one highway across the continent by way of the
 southern part of the state, and to the
 exclusion of all other routes. The
 project is to us one of the most sell fish undertakings in the way of road
 building that we have ever heard of, and even the people of the south can not agree on a through route. If all the towns of that locality are favored the road will resemble the Mohave Maze. Northern Arizona, and es- pecially Mohave county, is interested in road work, but the men in charge of activities are willing to concede the other fellow the right to build roads in his own domain.
 Arizona needs roads and plenty of them. It needs roads from the north to the south and from the east to the west, and northern Arizona has been busy for years in the good work and has comprehensive system of high ways far and away ahead of the other parts of the state. It has built it's highways, with a small amount of outside aid, and with the exception of some excellent work of the state highway department, has taken care of practically all of the work through its 759o fund or through bond issues, while the south has had several mill lions from the state treasury to fur ther the road building program of the counties. Last year when the north received nothing through state appropriation the south received many hundred thousand dollars, and the Bankhead fellows are trying to fur ther the plan of sidetracking road work along the National Old Trails through daring attempt to bring all road boosters into their camp and get them behind the plans of our southern neighbors to tie the state and Nation up in one and only one highway across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They do not appear to &C., knowledge the existence of real road through the north part of the state that has been in use for several years and which is carrying more than 15,- 900 cars yearly, while their part of l the country only sees a few hundred motorists, mostly locally situated. Northern Arizona wants to see good road across the state near the south border, but not at the expense of the Old Trails

OLD TRAILS GARAGE IS TAKEN OVER BY
 SIMS AND PERSON

Aubrey Sims and Mark Pierson have taken over the Old Trails Garage, having leased the building from M. G. Wagner. MT. Wagner will retain the east portion of the building for a sales room for Buick and Cadillac cars, for which he now has a direct agency.
 Sims and Pierson have also taken over the accessories for different cars from MT. Wagner and will have the sales room for these in the room for merly used as a guest room.
 They will handle Miller and Good year tires, all kinds of accessories, will have the Willard service station and will be the authorized service station for Cadillacs and Bucks. They will do their repair work in the rear of the building as formerly and will use the rest of the floor for storing cars.
 Both MT. Sims and MT. Pierson are well known here and will probably build up good business for them selves.

ELEVEN COMPANIES NOW DIAMOND
 DRILLING GOLD VEINS AT 0ATNAN

Oatman, Arizona, April 5-Oatman is quietly buying stocks of practically all the active mines in preparation for the boom which is sure to come just as soon as one or more of the drills now burrowing down toward the veins strikes pay dirt. At the present mo- ment eleven companies are drilling and eight others have received equip ment and are preparing to begin op- erations.
 San Francisco is now down about 320 feet, Big Jim 530 and Oatman Gold has its big three-compartment shaft down 130 feet. On the Black Range the drill is through the rhyo- lite and into quartz stringers three or four inches wide. A larger drill has arrived in Oatman from Kingman and will be set up later in the week.
 The Merry Widow, which had reach ed depth of 560 feet, has suspended work for two or three days owing to a cave necessitating cementing. The Highland Chief company has decided to purchase drills and work will com mence with the arrival here of Carl Tanner who is now in Ohio mapping out his campaign. '.
 Both Telluride and United Ameri- can ore heads maintain the increased values established earlier in the week and latest reports indicate that the ore is getting better in both mines as work progresses. On Oatman Com bination property all preparations have been completed for the instala- tion of the drill and work probably will be commenced early next week.
 Oatman Gold Mining and Milling Company reports an abrupt change in the formation of the rock encountered and indications are that the hanging wall of the vein has been reached. Quartz stringers have been encoun- tered.
 The Stoney Leasing and Mining Company has finished timbering its shaft and two shifts are now at work in the ore. The ore bins also have been completed. The bins have capacity of eight ytons. It is expect ed that about fifty tons of ore will be shipped daily to the mill. The vein is 4 feet wide with a streak of about five inches of high grade on the foot wall.
 Oatman United is busy putting in its 9O0-foot airhole.

BIG INCOME TAX CLAIM

One of the largest claims against a mining company for income tax has just been filed by the collector of in- ternal revenue for the district against the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, amounting in the aggregate to .$648,0O0. The claims are for in come tax for the years 1916, 1917, 1918. The peculiar. feature of the claim is that the company had not been on a dividend basis, and was re- gently offered for sale by the receiv- CT. Had the income tax claim not have overshadowed the property it is more than probable that a reorganiza- tion would have been effected and operations on the mines and smelter resumed early this year. The com pany claims that it is not liable for tax and the cause will probably wind up in the federal courts.

SWANSEA MINES OPERATING

The mines at Swansea have resum- ed operation and will soon be sending out large tonnage to the Clarkdale smelter. There are now employed at the mines about 40 men, and this number is expected to be augmented within the next sixty days. '..
 The mines at Swansea have been large producers of low grade copper ores the past several years, several of the smelters of the state getting a large tonnage from that source. With the development of the mines at a lower level we believe that one of the big copper properties of the state will be found.

GRABBING CHURCH vALUABLEs

Under the camouflage of relieving the suffering in Russia the All-Rus- sian Central committee has decided to commander all the church valuables of that country to either dispose of for cash or to melt down and coin. It is said that the value of the can dlebra, chalices, icons and other altar equipment of the churches is in ex- cess of $1,500,000. It is remarkable that anything of value was allowed to remain in a church during the ad- ministration of the present govern ment.
