U.S.. Willing to
Continue Talks on
Riqhts in China

WASHINGTON. July 10. up
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles said today that the United
States is willing to continue nego-
tiations for the surr-nder of extra
territorial rights in China under
peaceful conditions.
Welles emphasized that discus
sions with various nations TO that
end were interrupted by hostilities
in the Far East. Under eXtra-terri-
torial rights Americans living in
such international settlements as
that at Shanghai do not have to
abide by Chinese law. They are sub
ject only to laws laid down by the
settlement administration.
The unddersecretary' statement
was prompted by questions about
this government attitude on the
recent declaration of Prime Minis
ter Winston Churchill of Great Brit
ain that the British government has
agreed to close the Burma road,
vital supply route for the besieged
Chinese armies. The United States
has disapproved closure of that inter-
national trade route.

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 10. (UP)-
Discovery of huge nickel deposit
in the Arizona "strip"-the vast,
almost unpopulated stretch of land
between the Grand Canyon and
Utahs southern boundary-was re-
garded today as another instance
in which an area once regarded as
of small value suddenly gives pro-
mise of yielding untold wealth.
For wears this strip territory
has been considered Il veritable no
mans land into which neither poll
tician nor businessman has cared
to venture. 1t consists of struggling
mountains. occasional butteS and
plateaus. It's few inhabitants ere,
for the most part. a few hundred
adherentS of the Mormon faith VINO
themselves have been forgotten
since the Price johnson polygamy
trial of 1885.
Discovery of the huge nickel de-
posit, however has suddenly caus-
ed Arizona mining interests to
awake with a start to the realization
that this last frontier may turn
out to be the richest single section
of the state.
w. j. Graham, member of the
Arizona Mineral Resources board,
said the nickel deposit had been
uncovered by five prospectors In the
barren Virgin mountains about two
miles south of the small town Of
Littlefield-thc oldest Anglo Saxon
settlement in Arizona. Littlefield is
in the northernmost tip of Arizona,
eight miles from Nevada on the
west and eight miles from Utah on
the north.
Graham said the deposit, now be-
ing examined by engineers of Col
umbia Steel Corporation, was about
u miles long, 600 feet wide at its
southern limit and about 1400 feet
wide at its northern limit He deS-
cribed it as the largest nickel de-
post in the United States and one
of the largest in North America.
Vital Metal
Nickel is a vital metal in the ma
tons national defense program.
The United States now depends On
foreign countries. chiefly Canada
for its supply of nickel.

even start to estimate how much
its worth" Graham said. The en-
