PHOENIX. Ariz.—Another indi
cation that mining operations in
Arizona are reverting to their pre
war gait was contained - in a recent
announcement that another com
pany had reopened and was resum
ing work on a large scale in its
properties in the Rice region.
This property practically closed
down with the outbreak of the war
on account of the government pro
hibition against building and its
inability to export owing to war
cond.tions. Now. it is announced,
the mine's output has been taken
under contract and hauling con
tracts are reported to have been let
for handling incoming supplies and
the output of the workings.
From Jerome comes the an
nouncement that the great carbon
ate reef of a property there is to
be worsted as soon as a completely
satisfactory method of treatment
can be devised.
It was stated that the method
of treatment probably would be by
leaching, adding that more than
50,000 tons of carbonate now are
available, the extent of the de
posit was not yet fully determined.
This carbonate reef is said to
contain from three to four and one
half per cent of copper and is con
sidered by its owners an asset of
great value.
An old silver mine again has
| again come to life. Its superin
i tendent is credited with the state
! ment that all departments now are
I in action. Machinery is being mov
| ed in, a new mill and other reduc
tion apparatus is being assembled
and everything put in shape for
early operations. A closed corpora
tion is said to be in control of the
property.
Prescott advices tell of the elos
i ing of an option deal for a group
of claims in the Blue Tanks dis
trict containing a large white
quartz outcrop. Development is
said to have aggregated about 1700
feet with gold and silver values.
Another big nugget is reported
from the Rich Hill section, say ad
vices from Prescott. It was valued
at $300, and is said to have been
discovered by a Mexican, who sold
his find to a Phoenix bank. Old
i timers recall that the biggest nug
| get ever reported from Rich Hill
was worth $600. It came from the
Big Bug district and is in the pos
session of the Bank of Arizona.

CEMETERY PLOT
_
A committee of Pioneers, consist
ing of Fred Mann, William Brown,
!Tom Johnson, and Secretary Frank
Rourke, visited the cemetery about
■ two miles south of town last eve
ning and accomplished considerable
I work in the way of fixing up the
graves of deceased oldtimers. Other
graves needing attention were also
fixed up, and the cemetery, in con
i sequence, now presents a much bet
ter appearance.
The cbmmitteemen report that
there are two graves unmarked, and
information regarding them is de
sired in order that headboards may
be provided. Secretary Rourke re
quests that anyone knowing anything
about these graves inform him so
that they may receive the needed
attention. The graves in question
are between those of Caspar Good
land Fred Keldav.
The visit of the Pioneer commit
I
I tee last night was one of several
jmaae to the cemetery since early
| spring, and on each occasion some
improvement has been undertaken.
I The greatest need now is a road
which will make the cemetery more
accessible, but that is a work which
will require co-operation and in
voire considerable expense, and it
is probable that r.o attempt will be
made to secure that improvement
until late fall.
GREAT FIELD M
AMERICAN METHODS
! EXISTS IN HALT
ROME.—“American influence in
j Italy must succeed German in
fluence of pre-war days. American
.tools, machines and agricultural im
'plements must replace the feui»n
brands. American education must
supersede Germanic education. The
books from the shelves of libraries
written in Italian impress the
Italian mind with Germany's pr.-at
ness and superiority and German
catalogues written in J.alian must
make room for new books wiitten
in Italian of America's grea ness
ar.d catalogues of American houses
in Italian to preach American trade
and commerce."
This was the statement of I'r.
William Charles White, of tht
Rockefeller Tuberculosis Found a
tion commission serving wild the
American Red Cross. Dr. White
has conducted an exhaustive investi
gation of the educational system of
Italy with a view of introducing
into the schools the American svs
;tem of hygienic instruction.
“We have found in the libraries
throughout Italy, hundreds of book
telling of German methods and Ger
man systems. The ramifications
which Germany had in Italy to cap
ture Italy’s trade were enormous.
It brought her results for, until
1915, she had a greater commerce
with Italy than any other nation.
“Knowledge of America, where
almost half a million Italians we t
annually before the war, of Ameri
can methods and life are lacking
in Italy, while works on German
education can be found in great
abundance.
