Arizona has, in addition to the cop
per and other mineral deposits which
provide a seemingly endless source OF
wealth, a resource that is apparently
rich but to which almost no attention
has ever been paid. This is the coal
field south of Winkelman in Pinal
county, estimated by reputable engi-
neers to contain coal deposits which,
if mined only at so per cent efficien-
cy, would produce 30,050,000 tons of a
good grade bituminous coal.
The coal field was discovered in
1881 by David and Bob Anderson and
other prospectors. The ground was
then included in the San Carlos In
dian reservation, but in spite of warn
ing of the illegality of their actions
from the Indian agent, the prospectors
carried On desultory development for
years. In 1883 they were removed by
soldiers but are reported to have re
turned.
In 1896 the boundary of the reserva-
toin was shifted north and thereafter
calims in this area could legally be
acquired For a time there was con-
Slu0IdU1G
of the field, small shipments Of coal
were made to Globe and claims were
taken in the middle and lower por-
tions of the field.
The difficulties however, were too
great for the resources of the prospec-
tors, and their plans for development
had to be abandoned. Work seems to

the west after activity in the upper
portion of the field had been aban-
doned, but in 1907 all development
was abandoned and nothing has been
done on the fields until the past few
years.
Walter C. Smith, former engineer
Of Pinal county, has made several
surveys of the fields. He reported
on his most recent survey of the old
nations that the fact there is coal
over a considerable area is indispu-
table.
There are," he said, ''two beds Of
coal of workable thickness through
out the greater portion of the region
which lies in Deer Creek Basin. The
area is approximately 80 square miles,
and, if only so per cent of the coal is
workable, the thickness of the beds
would provide 30,050,000 tons.
"The coal is, in general way of
two qualities-the first is hard, black
coal adaptable to transportation,
commercial use and coke. The sec
ond is soft, crushed by local distur-
Dances, carries heavy ash and is of
little use for marketing, though it
offers great possibilities for the man
ufacture of gas"
A report on Goal in Arizona by
A. c. Rube, based on Investigations
of the Arizona state bureau of mines
and the United States Geological Sur
vey, contains the statements:

by local investors here. The well

At the time operations were dis

has received little more than passing
interest, but it is a subject that is
worthy of serious consideration"
Development of the Pinal county
coal beds has been retarded chiefly
in the past by lack of highway or
railroad facilities. With the start
of construction work on Coolidge dam,
and the necessity for p-oviding ma
terial roads, major portion of this
lack has been supplied.
All that remains to open the fields
to complete development is compile
ton of a branch toll road from the
Coolidge dam road to the beds.
Twenty-Five miles of this has already
been completed, and construction
work is continuing at the present
time, according to Edwin Watson of
Florence, who is owner of claim in
the district.

There are nne women in Amer
lea. A year ago Mrs. Myrtle Hud-
dleston, of California, took up
swimming ito reduce" Last week
she swan the Catalina Channel,
her eleven-year- boy crying out
to her, "Come ON, Mamma, don't
give up."' When she finished the
swim, the thirty-year-old mother
was delirious, partly paralyzed and
had been bitten four times by saw
age barracuda.
Too bad that such a woman
should waste her marvellous vital
ity on a battle that pleases the
morbid but does no good. The ma
tion could afford to pay her to
have twenty-one children instead Of
swimming twenty-one miles in icy
water.
Bernard Shaw says mothers
should be paid for having children
and adds, II would not have q
baby for less than $4,000" He
underestimates it.
If he were woman, with only 3
mans courage, and had had ONE
baby, he wouldn't have another
one for a million dollars.
France builds dozens of tiny afr
planes, smallest in the world; every

One of these submarine airplanes
rose from the water nine seconds
after the submarine reached the
surface, went up 1000 feet, de-
scended and went aboard the sub
marine again.
A fleet of submarines coming up
near a big city, discharging its
swarm of mosquito-like airplanes,
each carrying its gas or explosive
bomb, could make the next war in
teresting.

ABOUT THIRD TERM.
DECENCY HERE AND THERE.
SHAW'S BABY PRICE.
SPIRAL, NOT JAGGED.
..5y Arthur Brisbane

There is no question of third
term for man who has only been
nominated and elected once.
If not President Coolidge, WHO
for the Republicans? That ques-
ton interests Washington. Three
names interesting the wise are
Secretary Mellon, Secretary Hoo
yer and Frank Lowden, of Illinois.
Secretary Mellon, older than the
two others, is young enough to
manage admirably after-the-war
finances for this nation and to
work nine hours a day at his Of
fee.
Herbert Hoover has worked like
slave on development of national
resources, including the Boulder
Dam and waterways from the
Great Lakes to the ocean and the
gulf. The country appreciates that.
Governor Lowden, a practical
farmer, has millions of farmers
with him. But the main question is:
Does President Coolidge want
the nomination.
If he does, it is his.
Montana's Senate Last week voted
in favor Of the Constitutional
Amendment against Child Labor.
The amendment may be lost, child
labor being profitable, and profits
hard to give up. But it is COM

there. In the end, of course, the
amendment would help every State,
just as the end Of slavery helped
all-including States that had the
greatest sacrifices to make.
Child labor cheats grown men
and women of work and cheats the
