MINES REPORT DEVELOPMENT
At PATAGONIA

Patagonia, June 24-Activity
in mining circles in this district
has been increased considerably
during the last few weeks.
Among the mine properties
particularly active are the Big
Jim. Morning Glory, January
Mining Company and the Kino
Copper Company.
! At the Big Jim Mines, Inc,
property, q new body of sulphide
ore has been encountered on the
$50 foot level. The extent of
the ore body, encountered in q
north DRIFT. has not as yet been
determined. A cross cut was
run after the strike which re
vealed a solid body of high
grade for 81 feet. according TO
official report.
A drift has been extended
along the hanging wall of the
ledge for Is feet. This is said
to have disclosed ores showing .
value of 50 in gold. Sill 25 in
silver; $27.75 in lead and more
than $50 in zinc. to the ton.
A level has been started 100
feet below the ore body to ex
pedite the blocking out of the
new ore. The ore is being mill
ed in the company's own fota
tion plant. G. D. Pickering is
general manager.
Installation of 9 new 35O.horse
power diesel engine has just
been completed at the Morning
Glory Smelter and Mining com
pany. This will furnish power
for the 1OO-ton selective fiota
tion mill. An additional com

WHERE LuRKs THE DANGER?

It is easy to follow the mob,
accept criticism, listen to gossip,
or give thoughtless applause.
But it sometimes takes courage
to say what you think.
Thomas a. Edison, in com
menting on the electric industry
which has been under political
FIRE for several years past, said
a.great deal in q few words on
the subject of the government
going into the power business,
in the following quotation:
A private monopoly which
was foolish enough to put in
high rates would only bankrupt
itself for no one would buy the
power. There is far more danger.
in public monopoly than there
isl ia private monopoly for
when the government goes into
business it can always shift it's
losses to the taxpayers" A plain
truth simply stated, but it took
courage to say 1t.
The executives of local power
companies are generally leading
and progressive citizens in their
home towns. The clerks, steno.
graphers. linemen and engineers
are the substantial people of the
community. No higher type of
individuals are found in any bust
ness. This is common knowledge
For several years the public
has been regaled with charges
against the electric industry
which attempt to prove it is q
sinister enemy to the public.
even though privately owned
and publicly regulated American
power companies furnish more
power per capita and sell it for
less money. than do companies
elsewhere in the world.
1t is possible that the critics
of electric utilities are better
men morally and in a business
way than the representatives of
the power industry which serves
the people? Generally speak.
ing, they are not so considered
by the residents of the various
states who are neighbors to both
parties.
This is an interesting pheno.
menon to consider. Publicly,
the power industry has been pill
loried. Privately. it is respected
and its securities are purchased
by millions of Americans. Pos.
sibly there is too much politics
mixed in the whole issue and
Thomas Edison has pointed out
where turks the real danger to
the American people.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April Sowing to bene-
fetal rains in parts of the Southwest,
wheat prices here averaged lower early
today. Liverpool wheat quotations,
higher than looked for, were practically
ignored as being due to transient over
sold market conditions there. Opening
unchanged to u off, Chicago wheat rail-

general sag Corn. oats and provisions
also were easy, with corn starting at "a
decline to "a advance and subsequently
receding ali around.
Kansas reports telling of heavy rains
extending from Dodge City west to the
Colorado line did much to tip the
wheat market balance at times today
in favor of the selling side. Some Ne
braska points also noted rains, and
there were reports of scattered showers
in Canada. On the other hand, freak
weather was reported prevailing over
all Europe, with the season there cold
and backward, and rain badly needed.
Considerable notice also was taken
today of advices that European import
ers were bidding for United States hard
Winter wheat, but that an advance in
cash premiums had restricted sales. It
was added owing to the fact that guam
titles of Argentine and Canadian wheat
af1oat unsold were smaller. Europe was
likely to purchase more from North
America to meet requirements for
prompt supplies.
