MINING MARKET GOOD FOR THE
FARMER

Copper exports for the first six
months of 1925 were 18 per cent more
than for a like period of 1924. The
worlds use of copper seems to grow
almost daily, says the Manufacturer.
All kinds of mining are in promis-
ing condition. Lead, silver, and gold
mining are being revived throughout

ARIZONA HAS PRODUCING OIL
WELL
Wilcox Boasts of the First and OnI,
Oil Producer

Oil Producer
Senator Charles NJ. Roberts, gener-
ally conservative has given out the in.
Cochlse county, has achieved the hon.
or of developing the first oil producing
well in Arizona
Sometime ago a foOt-thick layer of
high grade oil was found floating on
the water in the railroad water tank.
How it got there was a mystery for
many weeks. Then somebody said
that the oil must have leaked out of
the farmers oil storage tank, and that
settled it. Senator Roberts, however.
was not inclined to accept that the
ory. The tank in question was half
mile from the we'll and it seemed
highly improbable that the oil should
have travelled so far in such quanti-
ties.
Mr.. Lundquist, who runs the rail
road pump station, was also inclined
to scout the long distance seepage
theory, and just for the fun of the
thing put down well on the right of
way just few feet away from the
original railroad well. He went down
40 feet and then struck oil. He is
pumping the oil out and gets from a
barrel to two barrels a day.
The oil is apparently self-refined
by being forced up through the near
surface sands by pressure from be-
low. Some Of 1t was analyzed by a
chemist the other day, who reported
that it was high grade stuff.
Someone thought they were spoof
ing about it and set match to the
liquid that lay on the ground. There
was flash of flame that came near
setting fire to the express Office, and
but for timely action, it would have
been destroyed
The oil is 80 pure that placed as
fuel in a Ford car it will make the
wheels go round with just as much
speed as any kind of gasoline This
experiment has actually been tried
and it works, according 70 Senator
Roberts.

WASHINGTON LETTER


are really concerned about max
ing the topic of evolution a foot
ball of party politics.
One of the favorite stunts dur
ing a dull political season is to
provoke speculation on Cabinet
changes. AT present there is con-
siderable discussion regarding the
remodeling of the Presidents
Cabinet. Several likely candi-
dates have been trotted out and
discussion centered around their
qualifications. politically and geo.
graphically. Though the talk of
change in his official family grows
from day to day, Mr.. Coolidge has
nothing to say about the situa-
ton.
The busiest man in Washington
today is Lincoln C. Andrews, AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
in charge of prohibition enforce
ment. He has been working out
a program of reorganization with
the hope of making the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and the Vol
stead Act popular. Mr.. Andrews
will find himself confronted with
difficulties if he adheres to his an
nounced program Of ignoring re-
concentrations from senators
and congressman as to appoint
ments in prohibition forces. What
ever chances there were of keep
ing prohibition out of politics at
the outset have been lost in the
development since 1919. Prohi-
bition officials are meeting here
this week with a view to chang,
ing the personnel and Tightening
up on enforcement throughout
the country. While Mr.. Andrews
attempts to put the dry forces on
a business basis are commend
able, nobody believes for a
minute that the political angles
can be wiped out.
The Treasury department in its
efforts to increase the circulation
of paper money and so economize
in the cost of production, finds
the greatest resistance factor is
superstition. Despite all pre-
lenses the average American
citizen. especially those with
sporting interest to indulge in
betting. will not accept two-dol-
lar bills. A special commission
representing the Treasury De-
partment is now at work on a
plan to cut down the size of the
silver certificates and increase the
number of two-dollar bills for
general circulation.
Several suggestions have been
made to increase the popularity
of the two-dollar bill but it will
require an educational program
to overcome the DOGGY of bad
luck. Proposals have been made
to reduce the size of the silver
certificates so that IL bills will be
cut from one sheet of paper in
stead of eight as at present. 1t
is argued that this would save
paper and handling charges for
IL bills will be printed at one
operation.
