CADY COMPANY TO
BUILD AT SNOWFLAKE

Construction of a new sawmlll at
Snowflake, and box factory and
planning mill at Holbrook is contem-
plated by the w. NJ. Cady Lumber
company of McNary, according to
statements made by officials of the
company to the Arizona state tax
commission.
The commission returned Thursday
from a two weeks trip through the
northern counties of the state, during
which they visited McNary. Officials
of the company advised the commits
sion, the members said, that arrange
ments for additional finances had
been made and that within short
time work will be started on the pro-
ject.
Included in the plans is the building
of about IA miles of railroad from
Snowflake southwest to the timber
belt which the company is leasing, it
was stated. This railroad will con-
meet with the Apache railroad at
Snowflake. According to statements
of the officials of the company made
to the commission, most of the saw
ing of the company viii be done at
Snowflake.
On account of the altitude at Nc
Nary, it was stated, the company is
having difficulty in drying and sea-
soning its lumber there, and for that
reason is forced to place its plants
where the lumber can be dried. 1t
has been found that lumber can be
dried both in Snowflake and Holbrook
The company recently applied to
Andrew T. Hammons, state Superin-
| tendent of banks, for permit to open
and operate a state bank in Holbrook
with capital stock of $4,000. Mr..
Hammons advised them that if the
were carried into effect the permit
would be granted.
The box factory and planning mill of
the company, it was stated, will bring
about 1000 workmen and their fami-
| lies to Holbrook and the sawmill at
| Snowflake will add large number of
| workmen to that town, and will in
crease the assessed valuation of Ma
| vajo county.
On its trip the commission visited
Chinle and the Canyon de Chelley
north of Holbrook A large belt of
yellow pine timber, Is to 20 miles
wide and more than 100 miles long is
in the Indian reservation in northern
| Apache county, the commissioners
stated. 1t extends across the state
line into New Mexico, running north
east to the San Juan river With the
exception of small amount of timber
cut to be sawed for use on the reser-
walton, the commissioners stated, this
timber belt has never been touched.

CLARK ESTATE MAY net
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

There is possibility, according to
the state treasurer's office, that Ari-
zona will secure around $5,000,000 in
heritance tax from the estate of the
late William A. Clark. This sum
would represent about years gen.
eral tax collection for state needs. The
state will claim the right to tax all
property that lies in this state, its
value to be determined in the open
market.
The Clark estate thus far is under
stood to have filed three statements
in the west, in Montana, for about
$10,000,000, in California for $780,
900 and in Yavapai county, Arizona,
for 81 $4,000. This last refers main
ly to the public utilities of Jerome
and Clarkdale and is without mention
of mining property.
Chief of the Clark assets is the
United Verde mine at Jerome, its
great reduction plant at Clarkdale
and a private ore carrying railroad
between the two points. Few, if any,
shares of the United Verde Copper
company are understood to be held
outside of the Clark family. The cor
poration was reorganized in 1917, in
Delaware, with 100000 non-par
shares. These shares have not been
on the market for many years, the
last sale reported at an auction in
New York in 1910 at $40. Just what
the stock value is today is a problem
| for experts, yet upon this valuation
it is proposed to assess the Arizona
inheritance tax.
On the books of the Arizona Tax
commission the United Verde mines
and works are valued at $50, ,179,
with $597 $50 added for the railroad.
Present metal production, even at the
low copper price, is reported running
over $1,000,000 month. Very
modern equipment and expert man.
agement secure very low bullion cost
The mine, developed to a depth OF
about 1000 feet, is considered the
| richest in Arizona, with apparently in
exhaustible bodies of relatively rich
direct smelling ores. At the treasur-
er's office is apparent inclination t.
fix a tentative valuation of about
$100,000,000. IF any such declaration
be made, it is probable that vigorous
| protest VIII be carried INTO the courts
with incidental review of the Arizona
inheritance tax statutes.
According to one mining writer
"the United Verde has been lied about
more industriously than almost any
| other mine in the world, especially ir
literature sent out by new copper min
| ing companies with stock for SALE i
has been pointed out as an example O.
blind luck, but this story is unbound
ed, the mine having been taken BY
Senator Clark when generally consid-
l-efed worked out, and it was developed
| by cash and brains into magnificent
copper mine, the credit being due tc
the keen mining sense and busines
acumen of Senator Clark, and not t.
chance. The mine is one of the bes
copper mines of the world, with man,
years of large production ahead.

WEATHER, CROP AND RANGE
CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA

Light to moderate showers have
fallen in places in Arizona and heavy
showers in southwestern New Mexico
where moisture has been badly needed
for months. While no improvement
is reported in southeastern Arizona,
improved conditions are noted IN the
snorth-central and northeastern Sec
tions. In the vicinity of Flagstaff re-
cent rains have done much good and
the soil is in excellent condition for
both farming and the growth of feed
on the range. Wild grasses are
growing rapidly in that section and
the range is beginning to look good.
Stock, however, is in poor condition
owing to lack of sufficient feed dur
ing the winter at lower attitudes.
Stock water is not plentiful but is
thought to be ample. There is less
snow than usual on the San Francisco
mountains and as the last rain came
down slowly the run-off was compara-
lively small The report from Pine
dale is to the effect that feed, water
and cattle are excellent. Speedy i'm
provement of the range is expected In
the Fort Bayard, N. M. section, fol
lowing more tnan one inch of rainfall
in the last week. Recent showers
have refreshed the range in Santa
Cruz county.
Cantaloupes, cotton and cereals
made excellent progress in the last
week, cloudiness contributing consid
erably to the condition of crops. Most
of the alfalfa seed land has had its
last cutting for hay in the Yuma sec
ton; some complaint has been made
that the growth is too rank for ideal
seed production. Barley is ready fol
cutting in both the Yuma and Salt
River valleys.

May hadn't given up everything
when she married DR.. John. She
certainly had not given up Jim Ca
rewe. for instance. They still went
around together as they had before
Mays marriage.
DIR, John was a mystery to Glory.
Didn't he care If his attractive young
wife end Jim Carewe lunched to-
gether two Or three times a week
while he, himself. was making his
calls? Or did he care so
much for May that he let her do
as she pleased, so long as she was
