in recent years and more than ESQ., 100000 from the Tom Reed, United Eastern and Gold Road mines alone.
 Gold was first discovered in the Oatman district by soldiers stationed at Fort Mohave. In 1864 word reach ed California of rich discoveries in the Secret Pass or Mossback section of the Oatman district. Alonzo Davis and another soldier discovered the Le land Mitchell (now the Vivian proper ty) in 1865. Johnny Moss, a scout, discovered the old Moss mine.
 The metal was in the form of rich surface pockets and there also were found some rich dry placers. For a time pocket" miners and dry placers operators prospered, as did marauding bands of Mohave Indians who preyed upon the miners.
 Oatman to Hardyville, in the Silver Creek district, old Mexican arastras or grinding mills, one of considerable size standing beside small stream in which the miners washed their gold.
 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 pest at Mohave in 1867 caused the practical cessation of mining operations in the district, the men being lured to Pioche, Candelaria, Tybo and Virginia City mining camps, in Nevada, and as far south as Mexico, where "Anteguas" held the same charm for mining men as they do today. For time gold ere from the Oatman district was shipped to Swansea, Wales, being fleighted down the Colorado to the Gulf of California and there put aboard vessels bound for "the old country".
 From 1870 until 1900, when the Gold Roads mine was discovered in the mountains about two miles from Oatman, there was comparatively lit tie development of the Oatman dis trict., A few years later the Tom Reed property was opened up. Then in 1914 tremendously rich ledge on United Eastern ground caused boom. The war practically stopped Oatman's development. But in 1921 still an other great ore body was found on Oatman United property and today the Oatman gold fields are the most active on the North American con- tinent.

POSSE KILLS BANK ROBBER

Last Monday week robber entered the Arizona Central Bank at Cooley and after locking the cashier in the vault got away with about $500. A posse was immediately organized and he was overtaken in the northern part of Graham county and shot to death after a hot battle. The dead man proved to be an ex-convict named Schultz, who, with two others had es- capped from the honor camp at the pen itentiary. Schultz had been convicted n Apache county of the crime of burglary, and had been sentenced to a term in the penitentiary. During the war he had been interned at Angel
 md, San Francisco bay, on charge of espionage.

CASES DISMISSED BY THE
 FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

Washington, July 24.-The federal trade commission today dismissed. with out prejudice to 1t srights to institute new proceedings, about forty complaints against as many nationally known bus mess concerns which had. been charged by the commission with the practice of maintaining resale prices similar to that established in what was known as the Beech Nut Packing case. In the latter case the United States supreme court recently upheld the contention of the commission that such practice was illegal.
 The complaints dismissed today were filed nearly two years Ago, and action by the commission had been suspended to await disposition of the Beech Nut case. After the decision of the supreme court was handed down, the commission concluded. it was explained by Chairman Gaskill, that in vie wof the age of the cases. they should be dismissed as t appeared to the commission that the su- preme court had settled the law with respect to price maintenance.
 To bring the forty cases to a con- clusion, it was explained, would involve a large expenditure of time and money and would require amendment of thu complaints to bring them down to date
 Rather than amend the cases, 1t was decided, Chairman Gaskill said, to dis miss them without prejudice and at the same time instruct the chief examiner of the commission to institute new in

CAPE COD CANAL.

Agitation for the purchase of the Cape Cod canal by the government has been underway for a considerable time. h IS a waterway that has not proved The profitable venture that it was ex- pected Co be. IL is able pow to accom- modate vessels Of certain .draught but it is as yet inadequate for meeting all de- mands made upon 1t if the entire coast wise shipping was to be accommodated. There IS little prospect that anything further than maintenance under present conditions will ever be accomplished under private ownership. but it would be -rpected that the government, should 1t acqulre it, would proceed to make 1t big ger and better and thereby be able tc accommodate more of the navy than is possible at the present time. Likewise that would mean the handling of a greater number of trade vessels, and eliminate that trip around the cape which has been disastrous to so many followers Of the sea and ships.
 These are not what would be consid- cred suspicious times for the expendi ture Of money for such purposes. The demand is for economy and the reduc  ton of expenses wherever possible. Pos Eihiy that Is why the senate has refused to add the Cape Cod purchase plan tC the rivers and harbors bill. If that at titude is maintained it seems quite evi dent that nothing further win be don, with the project at this time under that form, and it would be expected that oth CT canal purchases which had been ap proved in order to get favorable actiof for the Cape Cod canal would likewis, De held up.

Tine and again the jumping at con- riuzons has worked grave injustice. This seems to have been the case in connection with the recent fire in the Lexington avenue subway in New York city where a short circuit on one of the zars caused a fire and there were many who had trying experiences and some vh ocame near suffocation from the iumeE
 There were those who voiced their be- lief that the situation was made much worse by the use of the fire extinguish- prs which were kept in the cars for just Euch emergency purposes, in that there were fumes given off by the chemicals in the sxtinguisher which amounted to poison gas Even though such was de- nied by the e1unguisher manufacturers Et tfe time. it was accepted as a plaus- ihle statement. except that inasmuch as no kinds of tests had been made with it t wzE to be expected that the danger of 1sfng it under those conditions would have long before been established.

Mrsr srANn RY 1.0YAI. nNEs-

When Secretary of Labor Davis. De- fore leaving Chicago for Washington after having had a conference with President Jewell of the shopmen ex- pressed the belief that the rail strike could be settled at once if the roads would restore the seniority rights of the strikers and the labor board would take up the other questions in dispute, he doesnT say that he advocates such D course although it Is possible to infer such.
 Hs belief is doubtless based upon the attitude of the shopmen's leader, but ha would undoubtedly have been jus uhed in making the statement that if the EtrnznE railroad men would abandon their demands there would be an imme- fiate ending of the strike.
 The question of seniority Is of course n matter which has developed since the rrike was called. IL concerns the honor sf the roads. They have promised those who have responded to the call for em- pioyes that they would be retained in he service # they proved capable. What could they expect in case another ap- peal should become necessary for em- pioyes to keep the railroads of the coun- try going. fl they should now go back rn their word and oust the new employees to make jobs for the strikers who have lsen ft Co thumb their nose at the ra9l- road labor board. the rsilroa=s and the public In general?
 Jurt because the strikers in the past have felt free to disregard all respon- rhnties and to expect to have their acts overlooked when 1t came to arriv- Ing al a settlement, it has been main- tained by spollesmen during this strike that the strikers would get their jobs back when the right time came. There was a limit fixed by the roads in which the return to their jobs without loss of rights would be permitted. Those who diregarded it may have regarded 1t as Hn empty threat made for the purpose of getting them back to work. but cer- tainly the roads can do nothing but re- main loyal to those who have been loyal Co them and it cannot be expected that the secretary of labor or any other Fouid seriously believe that they would bs justified in doing otherwise.

A NEEDED SERVICE.

When President Harding indicates that he is committed to the naming of a coal commission for the purpose of getting at all the facts in the coal in- dustry in order that there may De some thing of a permanent nature undertaken for the stabilizing of the industry it Is recognized that he moves in the right direction.
 Strikes in the coal regions come and go but there Is no assurance beyond ths period fixed in the agreement that the country will not be subject to the halt ing of produotion. For a year or possi- ply two years coal production may go on without the danger of a shortage, but thereafter there is no certainty. Instead of getting down to the basic facts Of the controversies and getting adjust ments in accord herewith while pro- ductioh continues strikes are not only making conditions bad in the coal fields but they are having that detrimental effect upon industrial activities which is affecting the entire country.
 The present aim must of course be to bring about the mining of coal in suf- ficient quantities to overcome shortage during the winter, but there is also the need of setting a commission at work to determine once and for all if such is possible what reorganization there ought to be in the coal industry, what injus- tices exist for those directly interested, and wherein the consuming public is bf- ing unjustly treated whether it be through the demands of the operators or the miners.
 There may be no reason for confusing the work of overcoming present strike conditions and that which would be set in motion and done by the coal commits sion which the president proposes to name. but 1t Is important that there should be no greater delay than neees- sary in getting underway that govern ment agency which must have for its object the strengthening out of eondi- lions which ought not to exist in the coal industry regardless of where the re- sponsibility for them rests.
 The coal industry has long needed just such treatment as it is proposed to ae- eemplished through the promised com mission.

 This of course doesn't overcome the danger of a repetition of similar fires and equally trying experiences in the subway. It shows that the company was not negligent in the selection of the type of extinsulsher. but 1t Is clear that efforts must henceforth Be made for the purpose Of decreasing the chances of fires while subway cars are being op- erated. It doesn't appear that the fires which do occur can be attributed to neg ligence but at the present time devices that would serve to prevent fires and re- duce the effects are not avSiias.s.

FOR UNFOLDING LAW AND PEACE.

FUR UHHOLDANG LAW AND PEACE.
 When the governor of North Carolina in response to the presidents appeal, that the governors of states urge the miners to return to work and to pro- vide the necessary protection for those who are willing to work, declared that he was opposed to urging the miners to return it appears that the situation in his state Is that there Is but one coal mine and there are but about 50 non union miners employed. The situation in that mining district cannot be ex- pected therefore to develop any great amount of either trouble or coal
 But the most significant part of that governors reply was that There will be no trouble in North Carolina ia up- holding the law in this or any other con- troversy." When a governor takes that view he is filling the office of governor in the way that he is expected to do.
 Governor Morrison takes the view that such economic battles should be allowed to go to the finish, but he is determined to uphold the law and keer the peace and protect every wouId-be worker, union or non union, from men, ace. insult and violence"
 That, it is to be realized, Is just what the president was asking for. Protec- tion for those who are willing to work and who have a right to work Is only what should be expected, and it would certainly be a strange situation should the head of state government fail tc recognize his duty in that respect. Nortt Carolinas hasn't gotten so faA off tht source of safety and sanity as was in. dicated by early reports.
