SILVER MINERS
REAP BENEFITS
OF HIGH PRICE
PHjOENIX, April 22 (by Associated
Press).—Silver is king again in Ari
ona, says C. P. Reiniger, president of
the Association of Arizona Mining
men.With the copper market stagnant
as a result of the cessation of war re
quirements, the demands for white
metal are pouring in from all corners
of the globe. Many of the producers
are replacing their copper-handling
equipment with plants to turn out
silver.
"There is a big demand for silver
in China and India,” says George R
Bethuns, or Globe. “The United
States government is filling it at $1
an ounce, the same price at which it
is supplying 200,000,000 ounces of the
metal to the British government on
■contract.”
Years ago when Tombstone was at
the height of its fame, Arizona was a
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year, according to the estimate of the
United States geological survey, Ari
zona produced $192,000,000 worth of
copper. “Give us copper,” was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
of copper, more than a third of
which was Arizona production, are es
timated to be awaitng sale but cop
per is down and silver is up.
Surveys of the state indicate that in
the Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predominates over the other metals;
in Bisbee, Jerome, Globe and Ajo its
values as a by-product run heavily.
From the neighborhood of Prescott
come reports of the revival of old
silver mines. Battle Flat, scene of a
sanguinary Indian fight in the seven
ties, is reported to have yielded new
discoveries of silver and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
of the northern slope of the Brad
shaws.
The official tables of the United
I .
States geological survey report a
silver production of $6,813,000 In Ari
zona during 1918, but producers state
that this does not represent anything
like the total value of the white
metal recovered.
ENGLAND WANTS ITS
MILK SUPPLY PURIFIED
LONDON, April 21 (by Associated
Press).—Contrasting the milk supply
of London with the cleaner and more
healthful milk compeled by law in
New York city, the National Clean
Milk Society is appealing for funds
through the London newspapers to
carry on a campaign for legal milk
betterment here.
The appeal points out that while
all New York dairy herds must be
free from tubercular cattle, between
eight and nine per cent of the milk
supplied in London county contains
“living eubercle.” The society asserts
that, while Grade A milk in New York
must not contain more than 30,000
bacteria per cubic centimetre at any
time before reaching the consumer,
the average London sample “contains
not less than 3,000,000 bacteria per
cubic centimetre." The society says
American milk is bottled before it is
shipped, and remarks that “the con
duct of the dairy has become a
science which is practically unknown
in this country to the trade, the public
or any but an extremely small number
of public health officials.”
DIPPING OF SHEEPLAW
IS DECLARED INVALID
CASPER, Wyo., April 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Sheep men in all sec
tions of the state are deeply interested
in a recent decision of the district
court of the Sixth judicial district ren
dering void a recent state law require
ing dipping of sheep to prevent dis
ease. Judge Charles E. Winter ruled
that the state was without authority
to compel dipping except in cases
where animals already are diseased.
The decision was rendered in a suit
brought by several Natrona county
sheep men. The state announced that
it would appeal to the supreme court
to test the constitutionality of the
law.
INDELIBLE PENCILS FOR
ELECTION OFFICERS’ USE
LOS ANGELES, April 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—By the substitution of
indelible pencil for ink, which a bill
before the legislature now pro
vides, elections officials of this county
would save two hundred miles of arm
movement, according to David B. Ly
ms, county registrar of voters, who
las just returned from Sacramento.
Mr. Lyons estimates that every
tally clerk at precinct voting head
quarters moves his arm two feet in
tallying a vote with pen and ink, and
approximately one foot to blot his
tally. Declaring there are about 350,
)00 voters in the county, Mr. Lyons
calculates the distance tally clerks’
wans must travel in tallying these
votes with pen, ink and hotter more
than 199 miles.
Earlier returns and more legible
anes will result from the substitution,
the county official says.
