Prizes For Farmers

A number of instances are reported
rover the State wherein banks and

ing cash prizes to the farmers mar
keting the largest amount of dairy
and poultry products in given time.
Contests of this kind stimulate pro-
duction and of course increases the
farmers ready money account in ad-

the side lines on the farm. More
of these will no doubt increase COM

Farming Beats Oil

Figures just compiled show that
the total value of oil produced in the
State in 1921 amounted to $lS3, ,O00,-
10000. Oil and Agriculture have al
ways made an interesting compari-
son in Oklahoma; but as usual the
total value of all agricultural pro-
ducts on the farm exceeds the total
value of oil. In 1921 the agricultural
production for the State amounted to
approximately 1895, ,OOO,OOO.OO. This
is $52, ,0OO,O00.00 more than the to-
tai for oil.

What One Kid Has Done

Here is what one little kid has
done with pure-bred hogs. In 1918
Vergil Guernsey, of Roger Mills
county, bought a pure-bred Duroc-
Jersey gilt for $4,000, and then he
tended to her and her offspring. Up
to the first of this year he had taken
500 in money profits, had large
herd of hogs left, besides a string Of
good cows-all from ONE good gilt.
His story in detail would fill this
page, and read like fairy tale, but
is all true and any boy can do as
well.

"DIEHARD" ROADS SIGN PACT

More than eighty railroads have
now signed the Baltimore agreement,

report satisfactory progress.
Among the latest to sign is the Erie
Railroad, hitherto one of the toughest
"die-hards" and which was in large
measure responsible for taking IF a
strike vote. 1t had farmed out all
shops and maintenance work. Two
other important accessories were the
Ann Arbor and the Pittsburgh & West
Virginia.
Strikers are standing firm all along
the line.
Railroad equipment is in such fear
ful shape that big eastern roads are
establishing embargoes on freight
shipments.
Shopmen who have returned to
work on roads which have signed up
report equipment in worse condition
than the strikers themselves had
imagined.
Certain financial interests heavily
interested in railroad securities are
bringing pressure to bear on the man.
ayers to cease their futile struggle
with the strikers. This accounts for
tn more conciliatory attitude of a
number of the "die-hards."

tending the Ohio State Federation of
Labor Convention at Canton this
week, writes that the first days ses-

large number of delegates present.
While waiting for the various COM
mittees Tuesday to present their re-
ports the delegates listened to some
splendid speeches by number of
prominent speakers, among whom was
Frank E. Herring, editor of the Eagles
Magazine, and the instigator of the
nationwide movement for old age
pensions. Mr.. Sharritt says "His
speech was one of the most forceful
and eloquent | ever listened to, even
better than his mastery effort in
Newark, and we'll worth the trouble
and expense of a trip to Canon to
hear"
Another fine speech was delivered
by a young lady who spoke on Health
Conservation in Connection with In
dustrial Institutions"

WISE FARMERS

Some of the open shoppers who are
constantly telling the farmers that
they have nothing in common with
the city workers, especially the unions,
will have tough job after a while to
get any one to listen to them. For
instance, at the fifth annual state con-
vention of the Iowa Farmers Union,
held recently at DesMoines, resolu-
tions were adopted taking pot shot
at enemies Of labor and denouncing
the open shop.
owe will throw our influence
against the sweatshop and the alleged
open shop movement" the resolutions
say, "by patronizing the union label
wherever possible, realizing that the
result in both cases is industrial
slavery for working people in our
cities and a decreased buying power
on their part for the surplus food
products of our farms" Farmers and
workers of Iowa and other states as
we'll are beginning to go down the
line together for social and industrial
justice.

Detroit-E. F. Cradle, president
United Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Employees and Railway Shop
Laborers, was swamped with his fol-
lowers on the railroad amalgamation
resolution introduced at the triennial

The advocates of amalgamating all
the railway craft unions into single
industrial union for the entire trans
portation industry carried their meas
ure by a vote of almost four-fifths of
the 1900 delegates nresent.
Cradle, who was instrumental in
keeping the 100000 maintenance of
way men out of the railway shopmen's
strike which began July 1, was unable
to stem the amalgamation tide that
overwhelmed the convention in reso-
lutions introduced by the Minnesota

now would put US on short ration. The

have turned the lock on their war

to drain the treasury no more, for
they have looted it before.
And Harding, who is Wall Streets
man and serves them just the best he
can, says he is positively sure that
for the strife we did endure we
shouldn't soil our hands with tin, for
that would be an awful sin. He says
some debts just can't be paid; to try
to do so, he's afraid. But profiteers
demanded dough, before they helped
the war to go. The cash they had to
have in banks; they wouldn't take it
out in thanks. Nobody thought them
so polite that they would shrink away
in fright, and turn down any proffer-
ed cash. Nobody did a thing so rash.

New York City Can't
Run Street Bus Lines
(By Federated Press)

NewYork-New York City cannot
ooerate bus lines to transport the
hundreds of thousands of persons who
for several years have been dependent
on this means of transportation to get
to and from their work. The state
supreme court has granted an injunc-
tion restraining the city and all its
officials from using city funds for this
purpose, and further restraining the
city from operating or supervising
the operation of privately owned lines.
This decision comes as climax to a
number of other court rulings, the
effect of which is to leave the city at
the mercy of the two great corpora
tions, the Interborough Ra"id Transit
Co., and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Co. Past injunction had wiped out
many city-operated bus lines, and this
one puts stop to the operation of
about 80 lines.
The city-owned and operated bus
lines were placed in operation several
years ago when the state public serv-
ice commission permitted the traction
companies to abandon many surface
car trolley lines in various parts of
the city on the plea that these trolleys
did not pay. The withdrawal of troll
ley-car service forced hundreds of
thousands of citizens and workers
to walk many blocks to cars and sub
way and elevated trains.
To partly meet the situation the
city bought busses and sanctioned the
operation of municipality supervised
privately owned busses in the sections
upon which the greatest hardship was
imposed by the abandonment of the
trolleys. But the traction companies
flew at once to the courts. Through
taxpayers suits" brought in the
names of individuals the city busses
were attacked. Injunction after in
junction was issued, eliminating with
the latest one which practically puts
out of business all the remaining
emergency bus lines. The court order
affects between 100000 and 100000
persons who have been using the bus
ses daily.
A bill introduced at the last session
of the legislature, authorizing the city
to issue bonds for the purchase and
operation of busses, was killed by the
lawmakers.

Federal Tax Returns
Reveal Big Incomes

Washington-Income and corpora
tion tax reports for the year ending
December 81 show that there are 33
persons in this country who have a
yearly income OF $1,000,000 or more.
There are four persons who have a
yearly income of $5,000,000 or more.
The profits in industry is indicated
by returns of 100 corporations which
report a clear income of $5,000,000
and over; 836 filed returns of from
$1,000,000 to S5,000,000; 1,142 from
$500,000 to $1,000,000; 1924 from
$250,000 to $5OO,O00; 5,497 from $780,
900 to $250,000; 1902 from $4,000
to 100000; 25,994 from $4,000 to
$4,000; 27,615 from $4,000 to $10,-
900; 46,868 from $4,000 to $1,000, and
75,905 reported net income to $4,000.
These profits are net-after every
cost and charge, including interest,
have been paid.
The number of individuals who filed
income tax returns were 7,259,944.
This is an increase over the previous
year, but because of the tenderness
that congress has shown toward large
incomes, the returns for last year are
less than for those of 1919.

Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-03-17

One of the early mines in the Oat- man district to begin development was the Oatman Gold, located close in to the Oatman United and Big Jim prop critics. This estate was carefully se- lected by Eli Hilty, discoverer of the Famous Tom Reed property, and dur ing its early life active in it's exploita- tion. A shaft was sunk to a depth of 500 feet on the east end of the vein system and crosscuts and drifts car ried out into the two large veins that were found at the deep level. While these veins were large and carried some values they were not high enough in grade for mill purposes. The devel- opment carried the work on the 500 westward toward the United territory and there some bodies of ore rich in gold were found, but the drift passed through the shoot into broken ground.
 To accomplish this work big hoist ing plant, compressor and other ma chinery was installed on the property, a road built from the main highway and everything done to expedite the work of development. As war time came on finances ran low and it was

writer believed big ore body would eventually be picked up. But the union of minds do not always result in the same conclusion and the work was carried on elsewhere.
 Today there is going down, close to this original ore outcrop, three com partment shaft through which the ore bodies in the contiguous veins be reach ed and the potentiality of the proper ty ascertained. This work is now un- der the direction of Charles F. Pugh, for several years past manager of the Alcyone. MT. Pugh has equipped the shaft with a 40-horse power gas hoist, 4-drill hot head compressor and an auxiliary plant to care for any excess power that may be needed at a later date. A gallows frame of 10x10 tim bers, we'll built, has been erected on the mine complying with the require ments of the state mine law. The compartments are being carried 4hx5 in the clear ,and when the 250 level is reached it is purposed to carry crosscuts into the veins that gridiron that territory.

4 Little Early History

The territory of Arizona was seg- regated from New Mexico in 1863 and with the new governor installed an election was called and a legislature elected. This body did not meet un- til the following year, when the first set of laws was passed and sent to con- gress for approval. At this session another county was added to the four original, this being Piute county, em- bracing what is now Clark county, Nevada. The following year the county of Piute was regularly organ ized and sent legislators to Prescott, where the seat of government was then established. Later the discovery was made that the Colorado river was the western boundary of the territory and Piute county ceased to exist.
 Mohave county was organized by the election of Thomas Matthews, sheriff; Sam Todd, treasurer; William Walters, recorder; c. w. c. Powell, district attorney. No supervisors were elected until the following cleo tion, the first three named officials acting as auditors. Only a small amount of tax was collectable, the men attending to other duties to pro- vide living expenses, only small fees

being carried by the offices.
 After the selection of Hardyville as the county seat that place became the distributing point for all northern Arizona freight being brought in on the river boats and then sent out to Prescott, Camp Verde and Apache. After the discovery of the Moss lode and the Leland and Mitchell, with their immensely rich ores, George Hearst, father of William Randolph Hearst, Levi Parsons, Joe Clark and a number of San Francisco and San Jose people, organized a prospecting syndicate and sent a number of pros pectors into this field and the terri tory between Warm Springs, on the south, and Burns ranch on the north, was run over, but without making many locations, the men being used to pocket mining along the Mother Lode. The Moss was taken over by San Francisco people and a five stamp mill installed at Hardyville, to the north of the old buildings now stand ing there, where considerable ore from the surface of that lode was milled. The abandonment of the post at Mohave in 1867 caused the practi-

thought best to suspend operations until a more propitious time. And now, after the lapse of some years, with mining conditions more to the liking of operators, and with a new and enlightening knowledge of ore bodies and ore deposition in the dis trict, the Oatman Gold is starting out on campaign of development that we feel sure will bring it into large pro duction. This is especially true from the geologic standpoint. The first shaft was sunk in the territory too far to the east to reach the ore bear ing zone readily, the outcrop of the vein farther to the west showing val
 uable ore to a depth of 60 feet and of important size. The values found in this shaft averaged approximately $60, and it was at this point that the

the Oatman United to the east, and it will take only a small amount of work from the shaft to tie up with the developments carried on in the new Oatman bonanza.
 To the south of this shaft other work has been done on another vein of the group, the vein opened by an adit drift giving high values in gold. This section of the vein system is also to be explored by the new work, the drift reaching out readily from the new horizon into that part of the ter ritory. The fault system established in the development of the vein is not elaborate and has been traced to an exactness that will allow of the pick ing up of the fault segment without the necessity of the usual guess work
