The air was full of figures in the vicinity of the town hall last night, when the proposed budget for the coming year was presented to the townspeople at public meeting. The grand total of estimated expen- ditures amounts to $142,S32.
 This amount is $10,o00 less than was asked by the finance board last year for the running of the towns affairs. Probably the most import ant item on the list is the budget for the school department. $s0,1s0. being asked by the board this year. This is considerably lower than the amount secured last year. $7,000 having been Topped of. This amount, if secured, will provide for the build ing of the new Blue Hills school, in addition to carrying on the affairs of the school department for the coming year.
 It is expected that more will be done on the roads during the, com ing year, as $10,oO0 was asked for keeping the thoroughfares in repair. This is the same amount as was asked last year, but it is pointed out that tractor was purchased during the past year, which ate into the amount considerably.
 Although the air in the town hall was filled with flying figures, the air about the town apparently did not instill enthusiasm into the residents. There was a grand total of about eight persons present at the meeting, two of these being members of the board, two of them selectmen, one of them the town clerk. By the process of elimination 1t Is found that three private citizens, interested in the welfare of the town, were present.
 There were others about the building and several more when the meeting opened, but the attraction of the court session proved too great and these citizens succumbed to the temptation of hearing something snappy in court.
 Chairman Francis Deming of the finance board read the budget and no opposition was registered by those present. There was some dis cussion over the various items.
 The lack of interest in such an i'm portant meeting was lamented by several in town today.

MINING REPORT.
OF THIS STATE
FOR HALF YEAR

A statement issued by the Depart
ment of the Interior, based on statis-
tics collected by V. c. Heikes, of the
Geological Survey shows that there
was no great general increase in the
production of metals in Arizona dur
ing the first half of 1924, and that
the output of some copper mines was
curtailed. The value of the metal in
output in 1923 was $104, ,301. 200 or
nearly 66 per cent more than in 1922,
but the value in 1924 will probably
not exceed that in 1928, as present
price of copper is close to the cost of
production at many of the large
mines.
The value of the output of gold in
Arizona in 1923 was $6,121121, as
compared with $3,524,134 in 1922 The
output of gold in the San Francisco
(Oatman) district in 1923 was 81
796,830, or nearly 46 per cent of the
total for the State, and gold obtained
from copper ore was valued $2,205, SOB
Several of the large copper producers,
such as the Copper Queen, United
Verde, and Calumet & Arizona mines,
are continuing to contribute enor
mously to the output of gold but the
production of the mines at Oatman is
seriously decreasing. The United
Eastern Mining Co., which for years
was the largest producer of gold in
Arizona, has reported that its ore body
is exhausted, and the Tom Reed mine
is being operated on lease. Part of
the decres Sc may be offset by the
operation of the cyanide mill just
completed for the Telluride mine at
Oatman.
The output of silver in 1923 was
7.343,742 ounces, an increase from
4,531 1854 ounces in 1922, despite the
drop in the price of silver to an aver
age of 81 cents an ounce. The total
production of silver in Arizona for
1928 represents a new high record for
the State which is due largely to the
unusual increase from the United
Verde mine. This mine not only took
first place as a producer of silver, but
made an Output of silver that far ex-
ceeded that of any other mine in Ari-
zona. Besides the usual silver pro-
ducers, the Shattuck, Signal, Superior
& Boston, and Magma mines contri-
buted largely to the output of silver.
In the first half of 1924 the shipments
of silver ore from Tombstone de-
I creased greatly and somewhat less
silver was obtained from copper ore.
The output of copper in 1923 was
618 ,92S,602 pounds, valued at $9O,982.-
504, an increase from 400 043, ,128
pounds in 1922. The large producing
mines could easily increase the pro-
du uctjOn of conner in 1924 but the
price of copper has rather suggested
the need of curtailment, and the plant
at Humboldt was closed in February.
The Winslow mail., 1924-07-25

Unusual interest, however, was shown
in the construction of mills and
smelters The output of the New
Cornelia mine, at Ajo, was increased
as result of operations of the new
flotation plant, which treats sulphide
ore, and a decided increase was made
IN concentrates shipped from the new
Copper Queen concentrator, at Don
LOIS, rs we'll as from the improved
NO. b concentration plant, at Morenci.
Inc Magma smelter, at Superior, pro-
duced its first copper bullion in April.
and the Ray Consolidated Copper Co.,
increased it's shipments of concen-
trate and was improving the mill.
Much interest was shown in heap
teaching, which is said to be success
full at both Bisbee and Jerome.
+ The output of lead in 1928 was 49,
291,548 pounds, an increase from 15,-
070,894 pounds in 1922 The price of
lead increased from cents a pound
in 1928 to an average of S.5 cents In
the first quarter of 1924 Four mines
the Copper Queen, Seventy-nine,
Shattuck, and Signal-produced more
than 100000 pounds of lead each in
1928. The shipments of lead ore from
the Shattuck have increased in 1924,
but those from the Copper Queen
have decreased. In the California dis
trict the Hilton mine was making re-
gular shipments of lead ore.
The output of zinc in 1923 was 519,-
109 pounds, but no shipments were
reported early in 1924.

five months of 1924 by the United

A CALL TO THE INDEPENDENT
VOTERS OF ARIZONA

The political conventions have met.
The result of their deliberations are
known to all. A vote for either can
didate of the two dominant organiZa-
tions is only further perpetuation of
the long-drawn out game of "Tweedle
Dee and Tweedle Dunn" insofar as the
best interests of the rank and file of
the American people are concerned.
OF all conventions that of the Cleve-
land progressive convention was
epoch-making in American history. 1t
was decided expression of the Amer
lean people that they intend to return
to the form of government their fore
fathers left them wherein their nat
ional rights were guaranteed under
the constitution of the United States,
and they possessed certain state
rights which have been practically
eliminated at this time.
LaFollette and Wheeler are by far
the strongest ticket now before the
people, This independent ticket is
progressive and all-Arnerican in char
acter. It is the desire that the indie
pendent vote of Arizona may not be
found asleep at the switch" and to

BITE OF TINY CORAL SNAKE
MORE DEADLY THAN RATHER

The coral snake, so small that it is
not considered dangerous, has the
deadliest poison of any snake found
in the southwest, DR.. Charles T. Vor-
hies, head of the department of biol
ogy at the University of Arizona, said
in recent lecture.
The coral, the annulated snake and
the rattlesnake are the only types of
poisonous snakes in this region, DR..
Vorhies explained. The annulated
snake is rarely found, he added, so
that people are in danger of being
bitten by any variety except the rat
tlesnake.
In his opinion the gila monster has
poison less dangerous than that of the
rattlesnake Despite popular opinion
to the contrary, the campomocha, an
insect, the vinegaron and the Child
of the Desert, are harmless creatures,
the scientist said.

st. Joseph is one of the oldest Nor
mon settlements in Arizona. In 1875
Mormon emigrants from Utah came
down through the Houserock valley,
crossed the Colorado at Lees Ferry,
and established their settlement on
the banks of the Little Colorado, nam
ing their community st. Joseph.
Two diversion dams and six miles
of irrigation bitches were built by the
settlers in order to divert the waters
of the Little Colorado to the 500 acres
of land which it was possible to bring
under ditch on their homesteads.
For scores of miles in all directions
was an excellent range country. The
settlers early began the raising OF
cattle and sheep Although the pop
ulation of ST. Joseph has grown to
400 persons since the advent of that
handful of Mormon settlers nearly
a half century ago, the inhabitants
have prospered despite the limited
amount of their farming lands, from
the proceeds of their flocks and herds
ranging over the vast plains and up
into the forested mountains for a
hundred miles around.
Corn and alfalfa are the principle
crops raised. Dairying is becoming
an important industry among the st.
Joseph folks.
The town has grammar school
and Mormon meeting house. Pupils
of high school grades are carried in
big busses to Holbrook to attend the
fine high school in that place, which
is 13 miles to the east
St. Joseph is on the Santa Fe rail-
way and the Old Trails highway, p
miles east of WinslOw.
The wooden bridge over the Little
Colorado, by which the highway en-
ters the west limits of the settlement,
was washed out by a flood several
months ago, leaving a difficult and
dangerous crossing over the arroyo.
Governor Hunt inspected the damage
and subsequently issued an emer-
gency proclamation appropriating
funds, with the cooperation OF the
federal roads bureau, for the con-
struction of a steel bridge to replace
the destroyed one. Considerable cur
vature on this section Of the Old
Trails highway will be eliminated
through a relocation of the bridge
at a better site.
A few of the first settlers of st.
Joseph of 48 years ago, prominent
among whom are Mr.. and Mrs. j. H.
Richards still are living there on
their original hOmesteads.
