UNITED VERDE SHOOTS
100000 LBS. DYNAMITE
ALL In ONE BIG BLAST

One hundred thousand pounds of
gelatin powder was exploded in one
blast at the United Verde Copper
company mine at Jerome, Tuesday.
The jar could be felt for miles around
but did no damage to the mine build
ings, mine workings or the town of
Jerome which is located within a
quarter of mile of the property.
The powder was loaded in two tun-
nels so and 100 feet back from the
face of ITS foot cliff and it is esti-
mated that the blast loosened and
made available for steam shovel
operations more than 10000 cubic
yards of rock.
The United Verde company is re-
moving the entire top of its mine to
a depth of 300 feet to eliminate fire
zone that started many years ago.
Attempts to extinguish the fire, which
presumably was caused by slippage
along a fracture zone in sulphide ores,
have been unsuccessful by other
means. The two tunnels in which the
powder was loaded were so close to
the fire zone that the temperature
was over 120 degrees. The operation
in removing the top of the mine is
said by officials to involve a moving

MEXICO NOW MECCA
FOR DIVORCE CASES

The first bevy of divorce seekers to
invade Sonora, Mexico, since it's len
lent divorce law became effective, as
far as is known, spent the night in
Tucson and left the following morn
ing for Hermosillo, where marital
acknowledgement is promised

These three women of striking ap-
pearance and dressed in the height of
fashion were characterized by their
mentor, Senor Arturo del Toro, as
wealthy society leaders" They were
registered at the Congress simply as
Arturo del Toro and party" A pre-
caution against undesirable publicity,
their agent explained Senor del Toro
who is taking the vanguard of sub
Divorces to Hermosillo to secure
them freedom claimed parentship of
the new law, which makes unneces-
sary the establishment Of a legal resi-
dence in the state in which the decree
is sought.

STATE NEW S
Id INDICTMENTS FOUND
AGAINST TUCSON BANKERS

An Indictment containing IA counts
was returned against Webster H.
Land, president of the defunct Tucson
National bank, and Byrd Brooks, vice.
president of the institution, by the
federal grand jury now in session.
The new Indictment against the two
men raises the number of charges
which they are now facing from Ii to
81 counts, all of which grew out of
the failure of the bank in May, 1928.
Charges outlined in the indict ment
consist of conspiracy to violate the
banking laws of the United States,
six counts for misapplication of funds,
the issuance of one certificate of de-
posit without proper authority, draw
ing of an order, towit, one cashiers
check, without proper authority and
five counts on false entries.
Charges have been pending against
the two men for nearly three years
and only recently demurrers to the
original Indictment containing 100
counts were filed and argued. Judge
William H. Sawtelle, federal district
Judge, sustained the demurrer filed
by the defendants in all but IL counts
and the new proceedings were insti-
tuted against them by William D.
Campbell, special assistant of the at
torney general of the United States.

MURDERER OF ELDER CON-
FESSES HE FIRED SHOT

Alberto Fernandez admitted to po-
lice at Phoenix that he fired the shot
Sunday morning which resulted in the
death of Alexander Elder, young
Phoenix engineer, Wednesday eve
ming.
Elder was shot in the abdomen by
two men who held him up as he was
on his way home about 2 o'clock Sun
day morning.
Fernandez and Vicente Galaz were
arrested by police while the inquest
over Elders body was in progress.
In his story to the police, Fernan-
dez declared that he and Galaz fol-
lowed Elder for a short distance and
then pulled their guns and ordered
him to turn over his valuables. He
said he had As calibre automatic
pistol and did not understand the
mechanism and became excited and
nervous and accidentally pulled the
trigger and fired the shot that caused
the death of Elder.
Although identified by Elder, po-
lice have doubted since the shooting
that Frank and Leo Pass, brothers,
arrested Monday, were the two men
wanted and continued their investi-
cations that led to the arrest of Fer
nandez and Galaz.

MORE DEAR KAIBAB
DEER Law SUIT

Dismissal of the injunction proceed
ings brought by the federal govern
ment against Governor Hunt, State
Game Warden Willard and officials
of Coconino county to restrain them
from enforcing the state game laws
in the Kaibab national forest and the
Grand Canyon national game preserve
was asked in answer to the complaint
filed by John w. Murphy, attorney
general, in the federal court.
The answer filed on behalf of the
defendants by Murphy, asks that the
injunction proceeding be dismissed
for the reason that the bill filed by
the federal government seeking the
injunction does not present a case or
controversy for the exertion of the
judicial power of the federal court,
but only presents an abstract ques-
ton of law respecting the relative au-
thorities or jurisdiction of the off
GERS of the United States and the state
of Arizona on deer and other wild
game in the Kaibab forest and the
Grand Canyon game preserve.

MORE TIME GIVEN TO
PAY INCOME TAX

Washington.-The treasury granted
a number of extensions of time as to
when final tax returns must be made
for this years payments to the gov
ernment.
Extensions were decided upon be-
cause of the nearness of March 15,
when the returns ordinarily would be
due.
Under the new regulations, citizens
and residents of the United States
whose net income exceeds $4,000 and
domestic corporations were given un-
til May Is, or two months extension,
in which to file complete returns.
However, they must make tentative
returns on or before March Is, to-
gether with one-fourth of the esti-
mated amount of tax.
If the estimated tax is less than
shown to be due on the completed re-
turns, the difference will bear inter
est at 6 per cent year until paid
back.
American citizens residing of trav-
cling abroad, including those in the
military and naval services, and all
other persons outside the United
States, were given until June Is, or
three months extension to file their
returns.
All other returns, under the order,
must be filed on their respective due
dates unless a specific request for
an extension is made to the local col
lector of internal revenue.

The Maine road is now the best
route from the National Old Trails
highway to the Grand Canyon. Both
approach roads are dry, but the Will
liams road is considerably rougher.
A few very short stretches near the
Canyon is all the mud that will be en-
countered on either route. There is
not enough difference in the two
roads to make it advisable for east
bound cars to enter via Maine or for
westbound motorists to exit over this
route.
Grandview and Desert View road
80 miles-This road is in rather bad
shape and travel over the same. is not
advisable.
Navahopi road--57 miles-to Cam
eron bridge and Painted deselt-The
first % miles of this route is over the
Desert View road. Parties who are
anxious to reach the desert from
Grand Canyon may do SO by leaving
early in the morning while roads are
frozen. After the first 20 miles the
road is in fine condition. However
parties are not advised to drive from
Cameron bridge to the park.
Trails into Canyon-All trails are
in first class shape. Spring has adj
rived in the canyon depths and trees
are leaving out rapidly. Apricot
trees are in bloom at Hermit camp.

SHEEPMEN ARRANGE
WATER SUPPLY ON
BLACK CANYON TRAIL

A number of sheepmen who have
permits to drive their sheep over the
Black Canyon trail during the fall
months when flocks are moved from
the mountains to the desert and dur
ing the spring when they are taken
back to the mountains met Friday
evening in the secretary's office of
the Arizona Wool Growers associa-
ton.
The wool growers made arrange
ments to lease water rights along the
Black Canyon trail SO that the sheep
will have sufficient water along the
driveway. In previous years the
flocks have been forced to make long
drives in order to reach water holes,

By Consolidated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., May 10
There will be no "pirating" of wave
lengths this Summer by any broad
casting station which is a member of
the National Association of Broad
casters, according to Paul L. Klugh,
executive secretary.
Even If radio legislation should fail
to pass Congress and no authority be
given for radio control to the Depart
ment OF Commerce or to an indie
pendent commission, Mr.. Klugh de-
clared, members of the association
will continue to operate on the wave
lengths assigned by the Department
OF Commerce. regardless Of whether
they like them or not.
There are many station owners in
the organization that feel they should
have a more choice band in which to
operate, Mr.. Klugh said. but despite
the fact that they might legally seize
such a wave length. there is little
likelihood that any of them will.
There is in our organization" Mr.
klugh said, "a desire for fair play
and good craftsmanship. If all of the
members should decide to pirate any
wave band they chose it would only
middle the situation more than ever.
Pirate stations might gain n tempo
rary advantage, but would not obtain
anything Of benefit in the long run,
after Congress finally places radio
control in the hands of some Govern
ment agency"
Although there have been no writ
ten agreements among the broadcast
ers not to take any drastic steps in
obtaining more desirable wave lengths.
Mr.. Klugh said that his information
was based upon his correspondence
and conversations with practically all
Of the member stations.
The association includes in it's men,
bership a majority Of the country's
highpower stations. together with a
substantial representation from the
lower wave bands.
