PHOENIX BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED

The Arizona Mining Journal, Phoenix is do

Every issue is crammed full OF facts. We've

how rich in minerals is this vast wonderland OF

KNOW YOUR MINING INDUSTRY
"A VIDE gulf has been spanned in the last
half century, in the mining industry OF the
West Formerly mines were discovered by
chance Now the government geological
surveys, the mapping of the mineral belts
and regions, and the progress Of metallurgy
in treatment Of ores have completely chang
ed the mining; and placed it upon sound
and scientific basis. The increasing con-
sumption of metals both in this country and
in Europe has drawn heavily on our metal
supply. The scientific treatment Of low grade
ores has added greatly to the output OF the
mines Much Of the future production will
depend upon the vast deposits of loW-grade
ore, the successful working of which is made
possible by the contributions of science.
To mine low grade ores, large invest
ments are required. To secure this capital
it is essential that mining states realize what
an asset the mining industry is to them. Such
state should fully understand this industry
and cooperate with it to the fullest extent
through fair laws and reasonable taxation
which will invite the INVESTOR

ASTER MINE
STRIKES FREE GOLD
SEEKS MORE WATER

When you see a small truck with
the name GOLDEN ASTER NINE
on it, running about town picking up
a load, you can just put it down that
before you see it again it will make
atrip of a hundred and twenty miles
over the hardest road in the district
and the boy at the wheel will still
be whistling.
Andit will not be more than five
days until you see it again either.
That's counting, that on an average,
anygiven citizen on the town misses
seeing it on oe out of every two
trips.
THE GOLDEN ASTER MINE
A visit to the Golden Aster, three
miles north east of the old Briggs
mine, reveals the fact that there is
moreenthusiasm and hard work than
at any place else in the entire dis
trict-bar none.
A $50 foot tunnel has been driven
in along gold bearing ledge that
looks better every time that it is
sampled. Free gold has been found
recently and Ed German, engineer
from Phoenix, has been out looking
over the water prospects and has
pronounced them good.
F. P. Rodges, Manager and Super.
is out on a flying trip to the coast
during which time he will confer
with Jaffie and associates in San
Diego. Mr.. Jaffie is the active head
of the company. During the absence
of Mr. Rodgers, the work is being
directed by Mr.. j. H. Ratcliff G E
Champie owner of the property, is on
the ground with his family, and a
force of six men are kept at work
in the diggings.
SCENE OIL ACTIVITIES
A full report on this mine will reveal
the fact that the samples have been
showing steadily increasing values
and the enthusiasm of the entire
crew points to good news from this
source in the near future.
Everett Thompson, the boy who
drives the truck for the Golden Aster
is a good live hustler. When you
see that truck next time, just recall
the fact ha his load has to be packed
the last mile and half. A campaign
of road building into the Castle Greek
country is imperative in the very
near future.
Ed White, prospecting up around
the Copperopolis will have one OF his
prospects listed in the Miner within
week or so. He gives mighty
good report on the activities about

JAPAN KEEPS NAVY
PACT, SAYS TOXIC.
Denial Made That Vessels
Are Being Built Beyond 1922
Agreement With U. S.
Nv the Asaociated Press

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, December 22.--Japanese ma.
val authorities. while not permitting
themselves to be quoted. denied yes
terday that Japan was building light
cruisers of 10000 tons or under ex-
cessively, thereby violating the spirit
of the Washington agreement of 1922
for limitation of armament.
This assertion was made Monday by
Chairman Thomas s. Butler of the
House naval committee when he in
troduced a bill in the House at Wash,
ington providing for the construction
by the United States Of 10 light cruis-
ers. The treaty of 1922 between the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan did not limit con
struction of fighting craft of less than
1000 tons.
Two heavy cruisers which were re-
Gently launched, said the Japanese
authorities. will be completed in 1928.
Two others to be launched will be
commissioned in 1929.
The 10,000ton vessels referred. to
by Mr.. Butler, the Japanese officials
asserted. were made a part of the So
called eight-eight 1920 program of
Japan. This program originally called
for completion in 1927 of eight battle
SHIPS WIFI lO-lIiCu SuIlS anu SlSit btit-
tie cruisers. In conformity with the
Washington treaty, only two of these
capital ships were retained in the
japanese program. Six other battle
ships and eight battle cruisers We're
either given up or their construction
suspended. with the exception Of two
to be rebuilt as airplane carriers.
Japan's financial condition, author
tiles asserted, would not permit exces-
sive building of warships. even if it
were desired. They intimated that
the government hoped that some dis
armament conference would be called
which would make unnecessary even
some contemplated requirements.
