S8OO-TON ORE
STRIKE CLAIM
IN VAULT Mine

PHOENIX, Nov. 26 lP)-The Arizona
Republican says that a 12-foot vein of
ore, showing 40 ounces of gold to the
ton about $800-has been encountered
in the treasure vault mine at Kath-
crime in Mohave county. The ore IS
said to be the richest ever found in
the district.
Discovery of the large vein, the Re
publican says, was made while cut
ting a station on the 600-foot level Of
the new double compartment shaft
being sunk on the property.
Experienced mining men who visited
the treasure Vault today are quoted as
declaring the strike promises to de-
velop into the biggest mine in north
ern Arizona. Ore values have been
opened up for 40 feet with no walls in
sight.
The new strike follows similar
discovery reported at the Sunnyside
mine in the Oatlnan district recently
The Sunnyside mine, also located in
AGohave county, is running ore values
at $500 a ton.

TRAIL ALONG
BORDER Gets
REFLNISHING

County Supervisor John B. Hart re-
ported last night that the work on
the Slaughter ranch road is virtually
completed and that the road east of
Slaughter's which leads on across the
state line to Cloverda1e, N. NJ, has
been improved in its worst spots until
very fine trail has been developed
all the way.
Motorists coming in over this road
report that the trail from Douglas TO
Slaughter's is better than it has ever
been and is remarkably free from
bumps or holes or distractions of any
kind with easy grades, gradual curves
and fine driving all the way.
Some time ago the merchants OF
Douglas were asked to contribute to a
fund to build up the trail east of the
Arizona state line in an effort to make
it possible for Cloverdale citizens to
come to Douglas to do their shopping.
Supervisor Hart reports that the fund
is being expended east of the state
border and that eventually the entire
road will be very good.
Extensive hig hWay programs are
being carried out all over the county
and many have just been completed.
The road from Cave creek to Paradise
in the Chiricahuas has just been given
complete Workover and the Turkey
creek road from the state highway is
now almost complete Hart reports
that the heavy rains of some weeks
ago wrought terrible havoc with the
highways and at that time, following
an inspection of the Douglas district
system, Hart says he was of the opin-
ion that there was not enough money
in the budget to make the necessary
repairs. He states that these repairs
are now complete and additional
moneys have been spent on new con-
struction and other work and there is
still money in the budget.

vailing climate and the population
that it would require to cultivate the
lands to sufficiently intensive degree
to warrant such district? It may
be said as to the value of the land
that men familiar with land values
over the United States generally un-
hesitatingly declare t hat measured
from every angle, the land in the
Sulphur Springs valley is the cheapest
soil in the United States today and
some of them enlarge the scope and
say the cheapest on the hemisphere.
The soil is q rich, sandy, clay loan
which was formed by erosion through
the centuries and extends to varying
depths but is deeper all over the
valley than much of the soil being
farmed in older states of the east. It
can be purchased at from So an acre
upward where it is unimproved and
improved land-that is, land on which
private pumping plants have been
CONSTRUCTED may be had for as low
as SIS to $25 an acre.
Offers Great Dairy Opening
AS to the production possibilities,
there is a wide range of crops that
are certain in this section but we'll
informed men insist that the big po-
tential for this section is to convert
! the valley into a section devoted to
Ipoultry, hogs and dairy cattle and to
do this all needed is to water the
! land and turn it into alfalfa fields
and homes of contented families who
tend the herds and flocks by feeding
| the alfalfa to them. Poultry and
eggs, butter, milk and cheese, and
Ypork and pork products are in the
class of staple products that always
have a certain market and that can
be handled to advantage in storage
in the event of a temporary over
supply.
The valley, considered only to be
about 40 miles from Douglas, would
easily support 10000 people with all
the land developed and it would sup
port them well for that estimate is
made by allotting not less than 1C
Irrigated acres to each family. Taking
in the entire valley, the population
that could be supported would bt
materially increased. At the present
time, there probably is not to exceed
two or two and one-half per cent or
ranches in the valley. That woulc
mean before the land was fully occu-
pied Arizona would have to draw intC
her boundaries hundreds of new fam
lilies and the coming of these WoulC
mean added personal property, in
creased funds coming from taxes, anC
by far greater, gigantic increase II
the wealth produced through thu
crops which would be grown.
Would Help StOckmen
There is one matter that nigh
arouse some discussion in the fac
that at present there are large inter
ests in range cattle herds feeding
; through the valley each year and th
stockmen have acquired large right
through leases and title to aereag
involved. There is no conflict there
however, because the very improve

MILE A MINUTE
AROUND EARTH
BY STOCK CAR

In addition to performing all the
other services that any automobile Will
perform, the Studebaker automobile
stands in a class by itself when it
comes to the factor of speed, says Reay
and johnson, Studebaker distributors
for Douglas territory. They point out
that in every important speed contest
the Studebaker has been supreme IN
every department and now holds a
record of having three stock cars go
ing $4,000 miles in less than 25,OOO
minutes.
"Get an appreciation Of that speed,
said Johnson of the local firm. THAT
means that one could belt the earth
at the equator in a run OF little
more than two weeks. AS matter
of fact, the running time required by
the Studebaker stock cars was just q
little under 16 days and that indicates
that in the words of one of the song
hits of few years ago, that they

cal agent, "offers the buyer something

There are models to meet every fancy
and with every model there is every
1 ssential for quality product. We are

WILL ASK BIDS
ON BRIDGE OVER
CHA NEAR DOME

Call for bids for the construction
of suspension bridge over the Gila
river, on county road approximately
three and one half miles from Dome,
has been issued by the Arizona state
highway commission. The bids are
to be opened in the office OF the
commission in the Arizona highway
department building January 8, 1925,
at 2 p. m.
/, The structure is to be a suspension
bridge on steel towers with concrete
bases, and is estimated to be the
most economical type for this con-
struction. The length of the bridge
is to be 1893 feet between towers with
one ia foot steel truss on the
Phoenix side and one 81 foot truss on
the Yuma side. The bridge is to
have laminated wood floor with a
sand asphalt wearing surface.
The bridge is located on the old
federal aid project No. 26, which has
been abandoned by the state and
taken over by Yuma county and is
being built from funds secured
through special appropriation OF
the eighth legislature and county
bond issue. The time estimated fo1
completion and opening to traffic is
J one year.

ualize what was in the mind of A.
Van Wagenen, Jr., of Casa Grande,
when he wrote the foregoing inquiry
to Secretary George B. Doubleday of
the Douglas chamber Of commerce
last week. 1t will be recalled that
Douglas interests secured the cooper
alton of a delegation from Casa
Grande in trying to stimulate an in
terest in power development in the
VALLEY and brought a number of citi-
zens from that place to the valley to
tell about similar situation that had
existed in their section and how they
had changed the conditions by the
development of a power district. That
| they have had no reason to look diff
lferently upon their movement is in
dicated by Mr. Van Wagenens letter.

with the exception of that portion

like go miles from Douglas, a veritable
land of promise in production with
but two elements to be added-wate1
land work. Even the water is avail
able for nature stored vast quantities
at a shallow depth beneath the very
surface which is SO promising in crop
production when watered. 1t is moi
a section that might ever be Waterec
