CLEVER CHECK ARTIST
HOOKS SOUTHERN STORES

One of the cleverest check skind-
lers that has operated in the district
for some time is being sought by Bis
bee police on warrant sworn out by
a Main street clothier. The man, who
gave his name as E. M. johnson, en-
tered the store Saturday afternoon
and after making a small purchase,
offered check on Lordsburg bank
for S25 as payment. The check was
a customers draft, and was made out
with typewriter and then protecto-
graphed. It was signed by Reed Il
Smith, by e. G. Reed" supposed to
be a firm of contractors.
1t was learned that the same man
issued a check on the Miners and
Merchants bank of Bisbee and cashed
it in Phoenix. 1t is presumed that he
is making his way across the country,
stopping at each city to get blank
checks on one of the local banks and
cashing them at some city several
hundred miles away.

PHOENIX POLICE LAW
DECLARED NOT LEGAL

Tt now is claimed that when the
city of Phoenix passed prohibition or
dinances it did something not allowed
to it by its charter, which was grant
ed long before the Volstead act, and
which has features in which the rum
traffic is given a legal standing as a
taxable feature. This claim has been
brought up in the criminal division of
the superior court in a case wherein
Windy" West was found with hootch
in his possession, though the vending
thereof has not been established. The
city court sentenced West to the lin
it of its power, giving him 80 days in
Jail and demanding payment of fine.
He appealed to the superior court,
with the claim that mere possession
of liquor is a crime only under the
federal statutes.

the jurors who tried the case had a
fixed opinion about the matter prior
to serving as Jurors in the case and

tied the scene of the crime shortly
after it had occurred, counsel for Miss
Katherine Encinas asked that the su-
prenae court reverse the case and re-
mand it back for a new trial.

Pinal county superior court for the

ence in August, 1922, and was SEN

TRERE'LL BE MORE MONEY
IN THE STORY THAN NINE

Stirred by Harold Bell Wright's
novel, .'The Mine With the Iron
Door, a company completely financed
for 100000 has been formed in New
York and will soon be heading for
Arizona to find if the famous mine is
a fact or fiction. The company bears
the name Of the Canada Del Orc Min
ing and Prospecting company, with q.
Thompson, NJ. RI. Reuben and Fl. G.
Kosch as directors, all with offices at
1910 Broadway, New York.
Copies of the articles of incorpora-
tion, which reached here yesterday,
revealed without doubt the strangest
fact in mining history. The organni-
cation was formed to make tests and
to obtain certain information regard
ing lost mines in Arizona, particularly
In the territory known as the Canada
del Orc in the Santa Catalinas.

HOW COPPER PRICES ARE
MANIPULATED BY OWNERS

United Verde Extension is going to
continue right along with its present
rate of production, according to the
company's president, James S. Doug
las, who says:
IF we ever shut down again, il
will be because we are through and
are ready to give up the ghost. We've
had enough of shutting down. Well
meet the market and If anyone sus-
pends let it be one of the others. We
have no fear that the price will 60
below our production cost.
when the price of copper was fore
ed up to II cents, it was done simply
to allow one of the large companies
to float a bond issue, in my opinion.
Now the whole industry is paying the
price of the inevitable reaction The
stabilization which means steady pros
perity for the copper miner has been
put just that much farther in the fu-
ture. The immediate future of the
copper market is not bright and it
win not be until some settlement is
arrived at in Europe"
John Carter Anderson, a southern
Arizona mining operator, declares:
There is every indication that low
prices of copper and Of copper stocks
have been due to manipulation, to per-
nit the accumulation of copper shares
at favorable prices, rather than to the
real conditions of the copper supply.
Il am reliably informed that the
refineries of the country are short Of
their normal supply of copper. This
indicates that copper metal has been
forced on the market faster than the
normal requirements demand, in order
to depress the price Of the metal"

RULING ON STATE LAND SALES

In decision just handed down by
the supreme court of the state it is
held that the state land board does
not have the authority to withhold
from any sale of lands in the state
the minerals underlying these lands;
that the mineral rights, If any are
possessed by the lands named in the
deed go with the sale rights. Where
fore, it is fair to assume that even
when the state sells mineral lands, il
it possesses the right so to do under
the state law, the deed conveys all
mineral rights. The case went up to
the supreme court from Navajo coun-
ty, where deeds were rendered pur-
chasers Of state lands in which the
