Double Adobe Residents
Discuss Power Line For
Sulphur Springs Valley

The hope for early action on
power line in the Sulphur Springs
valley, which would extend through
out the agricultural section there
and furnish electricity to the mines
in the Tombstone district attracted
interest at the monthly meeting of
the Double Adobe local of the Ma
tional Farm Bureau Sunday.
According to A. M. Boss member
of the committee which the farm bu-
reau has appointed to keep in touch
with the situation, the discussion
showed that officials of the Arizona
Edison company have expressed the
opinion that the project may be con-
sidered a profitable venture, and that
conditions in the valley warrant the
construction Of the line
Engineers and soil and water ex-
perts employed by the company have
inspected the district a number of
times in the past few months and
have rendered favorable reports on
the potential resources of the valley
in agricultural production, Boss said.
The soil is suitable for growing an
extensive range of crops, they have
determined, and an adequate supply
of water may be pumped from a
shallow depth in the ground at
practically any point in the valley.
The proposed line, according to in
formation given to Boss, would start
at the Douglas power station Of the
Edison company and would swing
into the valley near the Forest
Ranch, beng placed to connect and
furnish power to all ranches n the
district The line would then be ex-
tended to the Tombstone district for
sale to the mines operating there.
The farm bureau is taking an
active interest in the project, ac-
cording to Boss and ranchers in
the valley are making every effort
to secure the construction of the
line, which would furnish cheap
power for pumping and irrigation
purposes in the valley as well as
providing the convenience of cleo
tricity in homes there.

C. & A. Official Says
New Copper Association
Can Do Splendid Work

BISBEE, Mar. 2.-The newly
created Copper Export association of
the United States is destined to per-
form a useful function in stablizing
the copper situation, particularly
with respect to the foreign market,
Calumet. Mich, vice president of the
Calumet and Arizona Mining COM
pany who arrived in this district
Sunday night for an inspection of
the company's mining properties in
Arizona and Valdeon, N. NJ.
"The effort which is now being
made to re-establish the copper
market on a sounder and more COM
prehensive basis, the Copper Export
association, has met with general APP
proval with copper producers in the
United States" Collins declared: The
C. & A. vice president said that the
association should do much toward
preventing unwarranted speculating,
in the red metal and as a conse-
quence would enable American pro-
ducers to control prices better and
stabilize the market.
i
"the market board has been sub
jected to the manipulatiYe tactics
Of traders who, having sold a great
quantity of copper for future de-
livery, were interested in depressing
the market in order to cover at a
profit. When there is a fractional
recession in quotations, the American
buyer refuses to do business at the
quoted American price, and the re-
suit has been a real hardship to the
American copper producer"
Collins said that representatives OF
about 80 per cent of the American
production have geven assurances
that they will join the Copper Ex-
port association. "The effect of the
organization should be a very posi-
tive marketing and financial benefit
to the American copper industry
the c. & A. official concluded.
Although Collins would not specu-
late as to the possibility of rise
in the price of copper within the
next few months he declared that
conditions generally in the industry
! are very good and that the leading
American producers are inclined tc
beoptimistic.
The c. & A. vice president expects
to remain in the district a week be-
fore returning to his home in Calu-
met.

1 HUDSON, Ont, March 1, The
shaggy huskies and their iron hearted
drivers are outward bound once more
outward bound on the long, hard
snow-covered trail that leads to the
land of gold.
A new gold rush is on, a gold
rush that is expected to grow to the
proportions of the famous Alaska
rush of the late 'nineties.
Up in forsaken, barren corner of
Ontario, near the Manitoba border,
lies Red Lake, an isolated stretch of
ice-bound water surrounded by a
bowling wilderness.
And the hills that surround Red
Lake are full of yellow gold.
Government officials who have in
vestigated believe the strike will
prove one of the richest ever turned
in America-and that includes Cali
fornia, Yukon and the Klondike.
Hudson is the jumping off place.
1t is an insignificant station on the
transcontinental railway, but it is
the gateway to the new Yukon, and
it is taking on an Importance out of
all proportion to it's size.
Dog teams are being assembled
here, loads of supplies come in on
each train, grizzled old prospectors
are going over their outfits. The
gold rush is on!
Brothers Started ii
It all began when two brothers,
Lorne and Ray Howey, headed up
into. the Bed Lake territory. last
June to. do some prospecting. They
were old-time prospectus, used TO
hardships and toll. They spent the.
summer, fall and part of the winter
there.

go at it. We took samples of quartz

but found nothing unkil July 80,
when l ran across a little 'stringer,'
which proved to be so feet off the

"Then we struck out In different

the Red Lake syndicate, and a work

to be one of the largest prices ever

gotten wind of. the proect and the
rush to Red Lake is beginning in
full swing.

eight huskies,' hitched to nine-foot
toboggans, are following the trail
down the arm of Lac Seul, over
land for many miles until they strike
the Red Lake river, and down the
ice-bound course of that stream to
the lake itself.
When summer comes three air.
planes will be put into service. This
new rinkle in gold rush travel is ex-
pected to increase the flood of pros
pectors. The Hudson Bay company
also plans to install motor boat
service on Lac Seul and Red lake.
Rich Workings
To get an idea of the value of the
Red Lake strike, it must be under
stood that mining companies can
make money out of ore that assays
only $4 to the ton; that some of
the richest mines average only So
quartz assays $40 to the ton on a
1400-foot stretch.
Temperatures in the Red Lake re-
gion at this time of year go down
as low as so below zero. The only
buildings that have been erected in
the neighborhood are an assay office
and a bath house The latter is a
bare room containing huge fire.
place. Big boulders are heated in
the fire; then the fire is raked out
and water is tossed on the boulders.
The room is thus filled with steam,
and eight men can use it at time.
"That bath is a Godsend after
mushing $50 miles," says Howey.
The prospectors live in tents, with
log sides. Despite the cold, they are
comfortable.
And, even when they aren't
there's gold up there!
