WE ARE NOW in the midst of the
primary season and it is a season
that will last up until within a few
weeks of the general election. The
opinion is growing among thinking
people in the United States thar the
primary has about lost its useful
ness, if it ever had any. Indeed the
primary is held to be one of the
reasons why the percentage of the
people who vote is steadily declining.

STATE LEASING
CASE ARGUED In
SUPREME COURT

A case of great Importance to all
persons who hold state leases was
before the Supreme court at Phoenix
on Thursday, when the preference
right to renewal of leases was con-
sidered.
Since 1915, lessees from the state
have claimed that under the consti-
tuition and land code, a lessor has
the preferred right to renew his
lease at expiration over a stranger
to the land who applies for an in
itial lease. The case originated in
Cochise county, where the superior
court held that the state land de-
partment had the right to disregard
the asserted preference. An appeal
was taken, and the question is
squarely presented to the Supreme
court for decision in the pending
case of Henry G. Boice VS.. State
Land Department. The case was ar
gued for Boice by Harry E. Pickett
of Douglas and Judge Walter Shute
of Phoenix, and for the state by the
attorney general.

TO THE CITIZENS
AND BUSINESS MEN
OF DOUGLAS

Do YOU KNOW that just eleven miles
southeast OF the border line at Aqua
Prieta the SONORA-ARIZONA MINING
COMPANY owns large COPPER PROP
ERTY comprising 221a acres, known as
the CUATRO HERMANAS NINE?
DID YOU KNOW that this property has
four distinct true fissure veins of hard
quartz, carrying values in COPPER, SILL
YER and GOLD with high percentage of
SILICA?
FROM INDICATIONS and Investigations
it is believed that, underlying the cap Of
country rock, the whole mountain consists
of good paying ore.
DO YOU REALIZE what development of
this wonderful property, so close to YOUR
city, will mean in the improvement Of bus
mess when publicity is given to it in the
mining journals of the country?
THE SONORA-ARIZONA MINING COM
PANY has given contract to build
good road from Aqua Prieta to the mine.
AS soon as the road is completed ore will
be shipped in trucks to the railroad at
Aqua Prieta and thence by rail to the
smelter
Mr.. Ernest J. Stanley, the well known
Mining Engineer of Arizona, in a report
OF this property says in conclusion:
From the width and character of the
veins and the large amount of ore ex-
posed on the surface I consider the
property to be a very valuable one.
Proper development should expose a
large tonnage of high grade ore for ship
ping and much larger tonnage Of good
milling ore"
Application has been made to the Arizona
Corporation Commission for permit to
sell $4,000 shares of Treasury Stock at 25c
per share
BUSINESS MEN AND CITIZENS of
Douglas are invited to investigate this re-
markable offering and are advised to buy
all the stock they possibly can, as the value
of the shares will undoubtedly rise rapidly
as soon as it becomes known that large
shipments Of ore are being made
NOW is THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR
BIG PROFITS THAT ARE SURE TO
COME!
INQUIRIES regarding this property will
be gladly answered by Captain Johansen,
Secretary of the Company, or by Frank
Barton, President, at 922 9th Street,
Douglas, Arizona.

WHEELER ASDRy
BOSS TO SUCCEED
ANDREWS FAVORED
Prohibition Party Nominee
Doubts Success, How
ever, of League Boss.
4 ~ 20 3 oH,SN,t"m.O N nhLe0N,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Dr
Gilbert o. Nations, nominee Of the
Prohibition party for President for
1924, approves of the nomination of
Wayne b. Wheeler, generalissimo of
the Anti-Saloon League, as prohibit
ton car to succeed Gen. Lincoln c.
Andrews, expected soon to resign.
DR.. Nations. however. has his
doubts as to whether Wheeler
would be more successful than other
enforcement officials.
Il would like to see Wheeler APP
pointed" DIR. Nations said today,
but l fear he, or anyone else would
fail as long as Secretary Mellon is
his boss. Mellon has been heavily
interested in the distillery business
and he is not going to enforce pro
hibition."
Executive, officials at the prohibi-
ton unit were very much interested
in the suggestion that Wheeler be
given an opportunity to see what he
could do. Some, smarting under
Wheeler's continual criticism We're
of the opinion that even If the post
was offered to him he would decline
to accept, fearful public censure
should he fail to enforce prohibition
as others have done before him.
Another official disliked the idea Of
officially turning over the Govern
ment to the Anti.Saloon League.
1--WE are trying to run stable
government" he said.

Bv United Press
NEW YORK, Aus. 1S.-Specula-
tive Wall Street began the day in
considerable trepidation regarding
the outcome, msrketwise, of the ad-
vance of the rediscount rate to A
per cent from the 313 per cent
charge previously in effect.
1t was recalled a similar charge
last November had precipitated
heavy liquidation and nervousness
regarding the possibility of a par
allel sequel at this time brought a
flood Of offerings in the first hour
or SO.
This selling was absorbed in a
manner which quickly restored con-
fidence in trading circles. The ad
vance was looked upon as an indi
cation that the 315 per cent rate
was inconsistent with active bust
ness conditions.
In the afternoon E. vigorous rally
occurred in the leading industrial
stocks which had been under fire
in the morning dealings, General
Motors and Du Pont, which has
large General Motors holdings, re-
covered sharply, rejecting the con-
structive action OF the General Mo-
tors directors i'm authorizing a so
per cent stock distribution with con-
tinuance of the regular 81 dividend
on the full amount of stock.
Coincident with the sharp recov.
cry in the industrials a broad buy
ing movement sprang up in the rails
centered largely in measured divi-
dend issues. Atchison and Norfolk
& Western established fresh record
highs, while B. & o., n. Y. Central,
Southern Railways and other stand
ard issues of this group scored Wig
orouS advances.

CHICAGO GRAINS
SLUMP FURTHER
Corn Assumes Dominating
Position in Mart.
En- United Press

CHICAGO. Aug. 1S.-Todat's SEES
sion on the Chicago Board of Trade
was marked by a further drop in
the grain values. Corn assumed
the dominating position in the
market and the other grains sagged
with 1t. Closing prices were all at,
or near, the days low.
Corn closed 2Ss to@h lower than
Thursday. The reports that the re-
cent .ains and fine weather have
been of the greatest benefit to the
grain were the principal factors in
the break. Cash was y off.
The report that nearly 1000, 900
bushels of wheat had been worked
at the seaboard caused an easy rise
in wheat. This bulge ran into free
selling caused by the weakness of
Liverpool. Hedges brought further
pressure. The close ranged from un-
changed to y. off. Cash prices were
unchanged to one cent up.
A number of leading longs let
go Of their lines in the oats pit to-
day. This, with the pressure of
corn, caused a close that ranged
from unchanged to ia lower than
that of Thursday. Cash article was
u cheaper. The volume of trade,
here and in the other pits, was
rather light but much better than
a year ago.
Provisions closed somewhat higher
because of the better hog prices.
