SOUTH SIDE IS IN
DRASTIC NEED Of
NE VI BRIDGE HERE
Restrictions Limiting Loads for the
Present Structure Are Working
to Disadvantage of Business, the
Citizens and Officials Claim.

A new bridge across the Salt
river at Tempe capable of sup
porting heavy traffic, providing
more room for cars and having
walks on the sides for pedestrians,
is at present one of the most crying
needs of the entire South Side is
the united opinion of business men,
officials and citizens of this dis
trict.
''Need for a new bridge across the
river at the foot of Mill avenue
that will support heavy fast traffic
and thus take much of the burden
from the present makeshift struc-
ture which traffic across the river
is obliged to use is one of the
greatest present needs of the en-
tire South Side," G. A. Goodwin,
president of the Tempe Civic Club
and former Mayor of Tempe, said
yesterday.
About year ago the bridge now
serving traffic that is entirely too
heavy and fast for its construction
was repaired to make it last as long
as possible. When the repairs were
finished a weight limit was placed
on all trucks and other heavy loads
passing over it.
This places a haHdicap on traffic
of a heavy nature that is obliged to
use the structure. Trucks bearing
real heavy loads must either cut
down their burdens Or take some
other route to their destinations.
An appropriation for construc-
ton of the needed bridge is in
cluded in the geenral highway bill
now being considered by the State
Legislature. This is a compromise
measure, made necessary by dis
agreement between two factions in
terested in the bill. Little more
than two weeks remain of the pres
ent session Of the Legislature. The
people of the South Side are in
tently watching the fate of the bill.
Highway officials generally are
in favor of building new struc-
ture at Tempe, for they realize the
deficiencies of the present struc-
ture.
Construction of the new bridge
and the resulting new road to Phoe-
nix would materially reduce the
distance to many parts of Phoenix
and the North Side. The present
bridge could be kept in commission
for light traffic. This would pro-
vide two bridges over the river,
and it is generally agreed by per-
sons travelling between here and.
Phoenix that both would be used
extensively when their existence en-
couraged traffic through Tempe.
Figures have been compiled which
show that the saving in gasoline
alone that would be effected over
the new bridge to Phoenix would
pay for it in few years.
Plans for the new bridge call
for a 24-foot roadway for vehicles
and walks on each side for pedes-
trians. The bridge would be light
ed with standard electric fixtures,
and these would be in the clear so
as to eliminate any possibility of
them being broken by passing
trucks.

LOST TIME MAY
DELAY MONUMENT
PURCHASE, CLAIM
Congress May Adjourn Before Ac-
ton Can Be Taken on the Bill
Authorizing Sale of the Papago
Saguaro National Monument to
State and Tempe.

Unavoidable loss of time and un-
foreseen obstacles probably will re-
suit in delaying purchase of the
Papago Saguaro National monument
by Tempe and the State of Arizona
until after the next meeting of
Congress at Washington, two years
hence, Mayor J. L. FELTON, said yes
terday. The necessary information
is now in the hands of Attorney
General John w. Murphy of Ari-
zona, who has taken steps to have
Congressman Carl Hayden intro
duce bill authorizing sale of the
lands, Mayor FELTON, said.
But the short time still remain
ing until adjournment of the pres
ent short session of Congress and
the press of business always de-
manding attention Of the lawmakers
at the last moment may easily pre-
vent passage of the measure author
izing sale of the lands, it is pointed
out. There is no political obstacle
in the way of passage of the bill,
however, the Mayor said. This may
result in it being put through in
the regular order of routine busi-
ness before adjournment of the
present session.
Agitation in Tempe for acquisi-
tion Of part or all of the Papago
Saguaro monument by the town
has been carried on here for sew
eral years. At first it was thought
possible the Government could pre-
sent the town and State with the
lands. A recent letter to Mayor
FELTON, from Congressman Hayden
explained that this can not be done,
but that the purchase price will be
only $1.25 an acre.
For a time steps to bring the
matter to the attention of Con-
gress were delayed by the unfore-
seen necessity of obtaining the ap-
proval of State Game Warden D. E.
Pettis for transfer of the lands.
This was necessary because of the
fact that. plans have been consid-
cred by the State for establishing
fish hatcheries on a portion of the
monument, Mayor FELTON, explained.
The State game warden has ap-
proved the land transfer.
The leading business men and
others of Tempe interested in the
progress of the town do not want
all of the monument lands.
The town OF Tempe should have
only about 400 acres of the monu-
ment lands" G. A. Goodwin, presi-
dent of the Tempe Civic Club, said
yesterday. Acquisition of more
than that number of acres by the
town would be unwise at the pres
ent time,' he continued cit is
the wish of the Civic Club mem
bership and of other leading citi-
zens of Tempe that about 400
acres directly across the river from
town be purchased by Tempe That
would leave the balance of the land
| for the State, which is much more
able financially to develop and i'm
prove it than the town of Tempe.
The resultant benefits would be
about the same to us here in any
event. Proximity to the improved
lands would naturally benefit US
here regardless of the fact that
title would be held by the State to
most of the land"
The State wishes to make fish
hatcheries in some Of the artificial
lakes that viii be created when the
lands are developed, Mr.. Goodwin
said.

money had ceased to be the prop
erty of the State of Arizona when
it was paid to them, and was not
subject to the scrutiny of anyone.
No employe was ever discharged
for failure to contribute to any
campaign fund, nor does the re-
port show, even by the testimony
of these discharged employees, that
anyone in this department ever
lost his job for that reason.
In conclusion, the committee
deems it advisable to state that none
of them are auditors; that no effort
was made to audit the books of the
Highway Department, and that the
information contained herein was
obtained from statements furnished
by the Highway Department, from
the statements Of sworn witnesses,
and from other reliable sources.
1t is the opinion of the committee
that the books anG records of the
Highway Department should be
audited and report made thereon.
1t is the further opinion of the com
mittee that the entire reorganiza-
tion of the Highway Department
should be brought about, with a
view to reducing the overhead and
office expenses, and the elimination
of waste with which every branch
Of the department seems to be in
tested at the present time.

OUTLAND BAR IS
 SHOWING UP FINE Work done on the Outland


 Silver Bar during the present season has yielded most en- couraging results and the out look for the property becom- ing a producer is now better than ever, according to s. c. Hubbard, prominent Seattle business man and associate of FIG. Outland in developing that prominent and highly re- garded property.
 MT. Hubbard spent the past month on the Silver Bar and stated before leaving for the south this week that the big vein found on the property by MT. Outland last year has stood up splendidly under this seasons development operat- ions and promises to provide a big ore resource. Two new and very promising veins were also located this summer.
 "We are not ready to talk of a mill just yet, "Mr. Hubbard said, "but the work done this summer is showing up a fine tonnage of ore and we are well pleased with the outlook"
 "The outlook for the district as whole is also very bright" MT. Hubbard continued. "The entrance of the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company into the local field is a matter of very great importance and should do a great deal to send the district ahead"

The recent discovery of silver bearing ore on a tributary of the Hootlanika river, 60 miles above its junction with the Yu- kon, is believed to indicate a possibility that the rich sill yer zone of the Yukon Terri tory, which has been traced from the Mayo district to the Yukon river below Dawson, may also extend in the oppo- site direction. The extent of the new find has not yet been determined, but the outlook is said to be sufficiently good to have induced two oldtimers to undertake some real develop ment work which may show up something worth while by the end of another year.

PATENT SURVEYS
 ARE INCREASING

A marked increase of interest in the patenting of mineral lands in this district is indicat- ed by the official survey work performed during the past two summers by U. s. Mineral Sur veyor Frank A. Metcalf.
 The work done last year em- braced quite a large number of properties, including the big Cantu group of 21 claims, in addition to quite a number of smaller groups and single claims. This year his surveys included several of the largest tracts of mining ground in the district; among them being the big Texas creek holdings of the Hyder Lead Mines, the upper and lower groups of the Alas ka Premier company, several properties included in the ex- tensive Fish creek holdings of the Mountainview Gold Mining Go. and several smaller prop critics.
 MT. Metcalf also performed considerable preliminary work on surveys to be made next year.

SAYS
 CAMP WILL BE BIG

Chas. R. Settlemier, former editor of the Dawson News and at present one of the success full mining operators of the Mayo district, left Monday en- route to the States, where he plans to take a long deferred squint at the bright lights and also do some business in con- nection with his mining activ- ties before returning North.
 After looking over the dis trict and visiting the Premier, B. c. Silver, Dunwell and other local properties, MT Settlemier expressed the conviction that Portland Canal District will ultimately become one of the greatest mineral producing re- gions on the American conti- nent.
 "The absence of an adequate road system and the resultant heavy transportation cost ap- pears to be the greatest draw back to local development ,"he  said. "I understand, however, that this unfortunate condition is being improved steadily and will be overcome in time. When it is the district appears certain to become a great pro- ducer."

FISH CREEK TRAIL
 IN FINE SHAPE

Another excellent example of the fine road and trail work done here this summer by the Forest Service and Bureau of Public Roads is provided by the Fish Creek trail, which is said by miners and prospect ors of that section to be in splendid shape as result of work done during the season
 Approximately 212 miles of construction and repair work was completed during the sum- mer by crew composed of Pat. Carey and several others whose names could not be de- termined. The major part of the work was carried on be- tween the Salmon river high way and Mountainview and included considerable cordu- roying and repairing, in -ad- dition to the construction of a new bridge and the removal of considerable slide debris which has bothered traffic for sev- eral years. The work was per- formed in a most thorough manner and will be of great benefit to traffic in that sect ion.

FIRE DAMAGES
 THOMAS RESIDENCE

Fire caused by an overloaded stove came dangerously close to destroying the residence of MT. and Mrs Hubert Thomas, east of Pioneer Hall, shortly before noon today. Thanks to the speedy arrival of volunteer firemen with hand extinguish- CTS, the flames were confined to the main living room, where the fire was first discovered by Mrs Thomas, and the build ing was spared more than nom- inal damage. The bulk of the furnishings of the living room were also saved. The damage is estimated at about $200. The building is owned jointly by Arthur Moa and John Hov- land.
 The fire was the first to occur in Hyder in which the prem ises were insured. The damage sustained is fully covered by a policy of the Allied insurance companies for which Mrs. Hill is the local agent.

NEW DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE
 RIVERSIDE MINE

Temporary suspension of mill- ing operations at the Riverside mine and the resumption of large scale development oper-
 ations along the lines inaugu- rated so successfully last year,
 was announced this week by E.
 3. Hall, president of the River side Mining & Milling Go.
 The difficulty of obtaining suf-
 ficient ore from the rather mar row veins to keep the 60-ton
 mill operating at capacity was said by MT Hall to be the pri- mary reason for suspending milling activities. There is suf- ficient ore in sight to operate
 he mill on a part time basis, Mir. Hall said, but more devel-
 1pment work must be done be- sfore extraction can be main
 aimed on scale equal to the
 opment has eopeneddingyfinai
 milling capacity. An ore body carrying values in excess of S30 per ton was opened recent ly on the upper level and the pig shoot of scheelite encount-
 cred last spring on the main level has been traced to the up- per level. While these discov- cries are important in themsel- Jes, an increase of ore product
 on remains the dominat need.
 MT. Hall emphasized the fact hat only a small part of the known ore deposits have been explored up to the present, This includes the big vein run hing through the property near 5he upper boudary. A large amount of surface work done on this vein last fall indicated hat it is possibly the most i'm oortant on the property and will provide a very large ton nage if it continues down to the main level or farther. This as we'll as other important show ngs which have not been ex- olored at depth will be subject ed to investigation under the i 1ew development program, which will continue through put the winter season.
 Having demonstrated conclu- sively and with much benefit | 70 the local mining industry, | hat the complex Riverside ore ,an be mined profitably, MT. 1 Hall says he is satisfied that | he work to be done this win Ire will place the property on ] much improved operating | oasis by spring. To carry on he proposed development pro- yram, which will involve a large expenditure, the comp any capitalization will be in- creased from $250,000, to
