HIGH TAX RATE CAUSED ev "ExTRAvAGANT MANAGEMENT
 OF STATE GOVERNMENT

Reduction of freight rates and re duction of high taxes. caused by the extravagant management of our state government are necessary to future successful operation at the present price of copper. according to the an nual report of the United Verde EX- tension Mining company.
 State and county taxes paid during 1921 amounted to s5G6.5i+oi." accord ing to the report and. if production had continued during the year. at the rate of 3.o00 090O pounds per month, would have amounted to 1874 cents per pound of copper. On the actual production. these taxes amounted to 4.533 cents per pound of copper"
 owing to the conditions of the copper market" reads another section of the report .the smelting plant was shut down cn May l. 1921. Ore smeit- ed during the first four months Of the year amounted to 53.5i3 dry tons. which yield I2.49s.O05 pounds of cop per"
 Underground development during the year teialled 2SSS.5 feet. of which the greater proportion was on the $50. 9j0 and 1.7o0-foot levels. Work on the HOO foot level with the object of stopping ore near the Naintop cor ner of the Jerome Verde has been started
 Approximately s95.o0o was spent on construction during the year. accord. ing to the annual report, consisting of installation of d fuel oil system al the smel,er at Clemenceau. Ariz. com pleting the hospital and the building of several company houses. The av. craze cost per pound Of copper pro duced during the year is given as 346. Due to the fact that the smelt. CT was operating only four months of the year. the cost per pound Of cop. per shown is abnormally high" reads the report. as our production was charged with the total expenses for the entire year. The cost stated. there fore should not be taken as a crite rion of the cost to the company Of it's copper produced during normal years

YUMA TO COMPLETE
 HIGHWAY THIS YEAR
IBy A. Fl. GARDNER)


 1By A. II. GARDNER)
 There have been many news items without verification regarding road work in Yuma county. with relation to the Tucson direct to Yuma highway aud now comes the authentic informa tion that $75.O0OO % has been set aside by the Yuma county highway depart ment for the purpose of building from the state highway to the Pima county line. starting at Aztec on the socalled Bankhead highUy. the present adopt ed route of the old Spanish Trails from Bisbee. Douglas. Tombstone. Tucson. Phoenix. Gila Bend to Yuma. which is the state highway all the way from Fl Paso to san Diego.
 The Yuma proposal is 10 build this Aztec line to Pima county line. when Pima county votes its proposed s25o,- GOO.00 highway bond issue.
 Pima county is now at work to ii nance. with Federal Aid. the road from 90 miles west of Tucson to the Yuma county line. to connect with the Aztec short line.
 IA tr- h.ur .-F and west road completed. which shoGld be done some time this year, she will have l03 miles of graveled. surfaced road built in accordance with Federal Aid standards. and she has all the money 10 complete it., which is coupled with Federal Aid. already approved.
 There is now completed 3i miles eas, from Yuma and ten.mile sec lion is now being built. the remaining ig miles from Wellton to the Mari copa line should be under construc- tion within sixty days. completing the entire I03 miles for Yuma county.
 The Yuma press is very much ex- cited over the fact that the Bankhead Highway Association is about to be diverted away from Yuma. that the secretary has sent them word that such move is on. and impressing upon the Yumaites that the matter is settled by votes and that every ten memberships give one vote Yuma hasn't had her shock yet for We who have followed the Bankhead year af- ter year recall the big fight in Ar kansas at so much per vote. then again the so much per vote fight be tween the Texas line through Dallas and Fort Worth and the scenic route through Oklahoma Yes. fellow road boosters of Yuma. its great game. but We can't run highway associations without money. By constitutional provision the Bankhead route is fixed as lar as Buckeye and now the merry chase for membership is on to finally locate the road west from Buckeye. As the road is practically financed rom Buckeye 10 Yuma via Gila Bend and the Col. Wilkinson route is not as ye5 but d paper route, We surmise that il Yuma buys enough member ships at so much per. that the road will go via Yuma. and if they don't buy the memberships We surmise it will PERhaps go via Yuma anyway.

 BUYS THE SHEA MINE

JEROME. March l-There is gen cral understanding here that the Shea has been added to the Calumet and Arizona string and that ample funds have been provided for further devel- cpment on very attractive mineral showinss already made. The Shea has 6 large amount of development ore that will run between Sl5 and s20 to the ton. mainly in gold and silver. with about per cent copper. It is highly silicious ore. such as is wanted at the C & A. shelter al Douglas. a point that cannot be reached at a cost of SlU q ton Thereis logical ex. pectation that with added depth the silver will be replaced by copper. The company already has spent about s56,- 0ou on development. to q depth of 500 feet Under the new order the shaft is to be deepened 200 feet and lateral development started.
