PRODUCTS OF ARIZONA
USED in ITS MINES

Remarkable increases in the use of
Arizona products and diversion of
business to Arizona channels by min
ing companies of the state are shown
in figures compiled by the Arizona
Industrial congress and released with
other reports showing how mine pur-
chases directly benefit producers of
the state, and how they affect all sec
tions.
Reports of 100000 worth of busi-
August and September by the United
Verde Copper company at Jerome
brought that mines total for the first
nine months of the year to $666,000,
or $122,000 more than it's Arizona
purchases for all of 1923.
Similarly, purchases made in the
state by the Old Dominion mine at
Globe for the first nine months Of the
year exceeded $134,000, or $4,000
more than it's Arizona purchases for
all of 1923.
A striking example of how all sec
tions of the state help to supply
stores in mining communities is con-
tanned in purchases of the Phelps
Dodge Mercantile company, which
amounted to $39,650 for July, August
and September and brought this COM
pany's total to S133,0O0 for the first
nine months. This firm, which oper-
ates several stores in mining districts
of the southeastern part of the state,
obtains its requirements in it's own
localities so far as possible, and this
| is borne out by the fact that it's pur-
chases during the last quarter includ-
ed large expenditures in the Sulphur
Springs and Duncan valleys. Other
purchases were made in the Salt
River, San Pedro, Gila and Santa
Cruz valleys, and in Bisbee, Douglas,
Clifton, Morenci, Phoenix, Stafford and
Springerville. Fruits and vegetables,
meats, eggs and poultry and dairy
products were the largest items.
Arizona orders placed by the var
ious mining divisions of the Phelps
Dodge are estimated to be at the rate
of $650,000 a year, based on the first
six months of 1924. The mine total
for 1923 was $501,0 900.
From the New Cornelia Co-opera-
tive Mercantile company at Ajo came
an excellent example of how mercan-
tile purchases of the mines consist al
most entirely of products originating
on Arizona farms. This stores pur-
chases of Arizona products during the
first nine months of this year aggre-
gated $84 4,400, or rate comparable
to last year and more than double
1922 figures.
These purchases were entirely dis
tinct from business placed in Arizona
by the Calumet and Arizona Mining
company and New Cornelia Copper
company, which has been at the rate
of 100000 a year.

that school girl complexion" he said.
Despite the new republic, the vaga-
bond and the thick English sense of
humor, pure old American wit is with
standing the jolts of new thought.
There's nothing like it. And one of
the best of the thousands isn't about
the two Irishmen at all, but concerns
the visit of an Englishman to dis
tant kin in New York, typical bright
light feller.
Conversation slumped as the pair
strolled down Fifth avenue, and to
revive the Yankee nephew, beaming
with civic pride, waved his arms at
a horizon studded with sky-scrapers.
His heart swelled within him. "Look
at that postofficep' he chirped. EN-
gland would be proud Of that! But
the best thing about it is the fact that
| it was built in 26 daysv
Not a blink from the Englishman.
Indeed, fine, indeed! But don't you
know, our Chamber of Arts, surely
as big, was completed in % days!"
Fifth avenue is long thorough
fare, but as the pair sauntered on
their verbal feud continued, until
four days was declared to be the
elapsed time in the construction of
Westminster Abbey, the House of
Commons, and the Flatiron building.
Finally they neared the Woolworth
building, towering its pretentious
stories above all New York, and it
struck the cockney dumb. "Bah jove!
That's delightful! And how long did
it take you to build that?"
The Yankee looked, wild-eyed with
mock-surprise.

Henry. 1t wasn't there last night"

"BLACK DEATH" MAKES AP-
PEARANCE IN COAST CITY

The twelfth victim of what physi-
clans have tentatively diagnosed
pneumonia plague, died Saturday in
Los Angeles, according to an an
Inouncement at the general hospital.
Death occurred in the isolation
ward Several other patients are SER
iously ill.
The first victim, Mrs. Luciano Sa-
marano, died October 19 last, and
since that date so many of those who
attended her funeral have sickened
and died apparently of the same
disease that autopsies were ordered,
with the result that last night city
health officers announced the malady
was probably pneumonia plague. Of
the ten who followed Mrs. Samarano
to the grave, practically all had been
mourners at her funeral.

SAFE BLOWN IN DOUGLAS
BUT ROBBERS ARE FOILED

The safe at the Piggy Wiggly store
at Douglas was dynamited Friday
night some time after midnight, but
while the safe was wrecked, the steel
|burglar-proof money compartments
withstood the explosion and the
thieves were either frightened away
or gave up the attempt as bad job,
was the statement Of Chief of Police
Bowden, in speaking of the attempted
robbery, one Of the most daring cases
of safe blowing that was ever pulled
off in that city. A speedy examina-
ton showed that the door of the safe
had been blown off by dynamite
fuse after the combination lock had
been drilled off. A sack of sugar had
been placed against the door to deaden
the sound of the explosion.

Carl Mayhew, Buck Lowery and Dick

They sat down to eat. There were

When one of the Navajos who

he asked a Navajo who could speak

Now it might be that just then all

AT the beginning Of this year, the owner

average holdings decreased, resulting in an
overwhelming distribution of ownership.
