The anchor apparently WAS shot
away from the ancient ship that

show that wooden stock was used.
The shank Of the anchor is badly

likely that it took some time for the

The anchor is equipped with u -

YAVAPAI MINES
TO Be REOPENED
tBy Dispatch A. P. wiren


PRESCOTT, Feb. 24-Marking what
Yavapai county mining men believe
viii be the opening of a new era
that will concentrate on deep min
ing jim this district, William j. Lor-
ing, prominent mining engineer, to-
day announced his plans for devel.
opment of the 80 years old Deadshot
group of claims in the historic SEN
ator area, ten miles south of Pres
cott
Having employed six weeks in pre-
paration of a camp, Loring, who
represents California and London
capitalists, today made known his
plans for achieving the depth con-
sidered necessary for the second
phase of exploitation of a mineral
belt that has been for half CEN
tury the object of numerous shallow
explorations.
The district where the development
will start is one of the Oldest in the
county. The senator mine, one of
the principal properties of a group
owned and operated by Frank Mur-
ply and his associates, has been idle
tor many years while the district
at large has been in the hands OF
companies devoting their energies
to surface mining.
It is declared that new methods of
recovery. have made it possible to
develop deeper mining where the
character of the ore and the ex-
pense of large scale operations have
been bar to activity in the past.

Navy Reserve Oil
SquabbIe In High Court
CONTINUED From Page one)

The petition, which will be brought
to the attention of the court after it
reconvenes March l. emphasized the
Importance of a final decision by the
highest court on the authority of the
secretary of. the navy over the naval
oil reserves under the act of con-
gress, of June 4, 1920. Four suits
are pending in the federal courts in
volving the construction of the stat
ute, the brief pointed out, including
the Teapot Dome case, brought against
the Mammoth Oil company and Che
Sinclair Pine Line company, now
pending before the circuit court Of
appeals at ST. Paul, where it will be
argued next May.
The act was interpreted by the fed
eral courts in California as prohibiting
the granting of the leases and con
tracts made with the Doheny in
terests, the petition recited, while
the federal district court in Wyom-
ing, in the Teapot Dome case, placed
a contrary construction upon hte act,
and held the Sinclair leases valid.
Frank ]. Hogan, of counsel Cor
Doheny, who docketed the petition,
explained that the supreme court also
was asked to determine the right
of the United States to maintain a
suit in equity to cancel contracts and
leases without itself doing equity.
The circuit court Of appeals at San
Francisco, he set forth, held that
the government could have the full
benefit of all of the improvements
which had been made by the Dohe ~
companies under the contracts an;l
leases without paying for them.
There was complete lack of equity,
he insisted, in this ruling. Under
it, he declared, leases and contracts
with the Doheny companies were de-
clared in California to be invalid
and were cancelled, the defendants
being required to refuse to the gov
ernment $10,O00,OO0 received in COM
pensation for the improvements made
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

Gales to Close Ports
Continued From rage one)

"The closing of these ports of
entry would affect also the ship
ping of freight through the ports
and this would stop the shipping
Of Imperial valley produce amount,
ing to many thousands of carloads
annually through Lower California.
g'I' am not worried about what
California people and newspapers
think of me and my work here, nor
what they think regarding so-called
vice conditions in the northern dis
trict of Lower California / am
more concerned about what my own
people think of me and my admins
tration of the office of governor in
this district.
Last year the government of the
northern district of Lower California
purchased more than one half mills
lion dollars worth of machinery,
structural materials and supplies in
California;. The Industrial and agri-
cultural development of this dis
trict, including the development of
the government farming colonies, the
construction of new railroads and the
erection of school buildings and gov
ernment buildings here will mean
the purchase this year of many more
millions Of dollars worth of material
which California viii lose by the
closing of the ports of Mexicali and
Tijuana.
ut would appear that the Los
Angeles newspapers are starting re.
form by their attacks on the so,
called vice conditions in this dis
trict Of Lower California, but as a
matter Of fact, they are merely jeal-
Gus of the remarkable development
of San Diego.
"The only difference that can
see between the so-called vice CON
ditions set forth in Los Angeles
newspapers as existing in this dis
trict and the actual gambling dens
and vice conditions existing in Los
Angeles at this time, is that the
various enterprises here designated
as vice dens are legally licensed by
the government, and the government
obtains the income from them and
regulates them, and on the other
hand those in Los Angeles, where
known to be operating, are illeg~1
and unlicensed and only the respon-
sible officials are beenr1ttng from
them
Governor Rodriguez said that in
the event the ports of entry were
closed to commerce, it would not
mean that the ports would be closed
to ordinary traffic of people. He
also said that there would be no way
of closing the ports to commerce ex-
cept by including all railroad opera
tions, as the government could not
discriminate.
