So they roasted a veal the other

Kirkland's play is huge success,
but whether this is due to the dirt
in it or in spite of it, none is sure.
1t is revolving story of worn out

speak our language, but whose moral
standards are incredibly different.
Maybe New Workers have kept it
very much alive for these years

people on the stage, such superior
feeling.

and 10 feet of cotton rope.
The order, signed "Homesick,"
asked that the jailor please rush

County officers saw the humor OF
the note, but they also noticed that
the order had professional touch
the sender knew the exact needs for
his escape and knew how much each
item cost. Sheriff A. B. Carter asked
that the jailor exercise vigilance to
see that 'Homesick" didn't get his
order filed.

LONDON.-Scotland Yard, home
Of Britain's super sleuths, is keeping
busy these days. It is slowly but
surely suppressing a crime wave
brought on by the war-''White col

Crimes of violence, burglaries and
smash-and-grab raids have dwindled
to negligible proportions since the
war broke out, but the glib-tongued
racketeer has taken the place of the
burglar and smash-and-grab raider.
Bogus wartime charities, illegal
profteers, and war-loan tricksters
are on the yards" purge list, and
are responsible for the white col

Mine Plan to
Cost 80 Million
Copper Venture Expected
To Yield ESQ, OOO,0 900
Tons of Ore.

MORENCI, ARIA great cop
per mining venture is being under
taken eight miles from here by the
Phelps-Dodge corporation at cost
estimated at more than $50. 1000, 900.
Site of the project is a huge noun
tain from which engineers expect to
scoop out more than $50, 900, 900 tons
Of high yielding copper ore.
Development Of the site already
has been under way for two years
and the gigantic project is not ex-
pected to be completed until Janu-
airy /, 1912.
Mills, laboratories, concentrators
and smelters are not all that are
being constructed. So confident are
engineers of the possibilities of this
copper deposit that they are building
a model community, complete with
the most up to date houses and con-
veniences, to shelter the $4,000 work.
men who will be employed on the
project.
1OWu NuIlStCuCu ot0ISOs
The new company town will be
known as Stargo-named after an
old prospector who was one Of the
first men to exploit the copper prop
critics Of this area.
Although Stargo will be model
community in all respects, company
officials have taken more realistic
view about its future and have built
complete quarters for police de-
partment. A library, fire depart
ment and $270,000 hospital are
also going up.
It is difficult to realize the true
magnitude of the project. The min
eral mountain can be ikened to a
gigantic copper ball-a mile long
and over half mile wide-with an
outside coating Of waste dirt and
rock measuring 200 feet thick.
To reach the 250,000,000 tons Of
copper ore. gigantic steam shovels
are at work biting through the ZOO
foot layer of waste matter. Engi-
neers estimate that 100000 tons
of noncommercial material must be
removed before blasting on the ore
body can be started.
To Resemble Pit Mine.
When the useless matter is
scooped aside, the deposit will begin
assuming the appearance Of a typ
ical open pit mine. Railroad tracks
are being laid on various levels and
four new Diesel-electric locomotives
have been purchased to haul the ore
out.
The trains then will carry the ore
to the mill where large part of the
$50, 900, 900 investment is represent
ed.
The mill will include 81 buildings
housing a smelter, crushing plant.
a concentration, a power plant, ma.
chine shops and office buildings.
The completed plant will be able
to handle some $4,000 tons of ore
daily, with an ultimate capacity Of
10000 tons. 1t will be second point
Of capacity only to the Utah Copper
company plant at Bingham, which
can process $4,000 tons each day.
| The ore which the mill will handle
contains LOG per cent copper. With
older methods of mining, ore of such
content could not have been mined
profitably. But modern high speed
and scientific methods make it pos
sible for the LOG ore to be processed
at profit.
