Those wliii have talked with Kd 0.
Itruwn hini'i' his return from tlui uiiu
ing districts of Ari.onu uiid Xew
Mexico have no doubt been busy milk
ing comparisons more or less suj
Kestive of our unmatched opportunity
in this heaven -blessed southern Ore
gon region. In the stimulating infor
mation which he gathered fii-st-hund
in and about the mines of that terri
tory of sand dunes and cactus plains
there is pabulum for thought that
ought to create action in and about
Medford.
"We went out to Miami, where the
big mines are, l'JO miles from Phoe
nix," said Mr. Ilrown. "What was a
little town of 1200 people two years
ago is now a surging, crowding, hus
tling city of 15,000 busy, eager, clam
oring souls, nil doing something and
getting something for it; nil appar
ently prosperous and hopeful of be
coming rich; thousands of specialists
in the milling business and thousands
more who specialize in providing
physical comfort for the miners; the
.jingle- of money everywhere heard;
Hotels, restaurants, outfitting sta
tinns and mercantile houses all enjoy
ing n cash business to the extent of
their ability to 'deliver the goods.'
Everybody After Copper.
"Even-body wants a copper mine,1
continued Mr. Ilrown. "At Globe,
near Miami, the situation is a replica
ol that found at the latter city. It
was a town of n few hundred anxious
souls two or three vears ago. It now
lias 11,000 jieople and more going in
every day. H doesn't matter when
the Jay begins or ends. There is no
Sunday there; nor is there any night.
It is just n ease of three eight-hour
shifts a day, every day in the month.
It is copper there, too. Massive ma
chinery of the most modem kind.
grinding, maunching, groaning in the
hum of its gigantic power; other ma
chinery arriving and being placed;
new forces of men being set to their
tasks; new business houses going up;
those already there crowded to their
capacity with goods, clerks and ens
tomers; everything agog with life,
movement, stir, action and all of th
clatter and racket sounding just like
the jingle of money. And' it is.
"At Superior, sixty-five miles from
I'hiicnix, a town of 200 people ten
months ago now are 4000 jostling
hurrying people, each in his line or
hers, all making money and cxpeetin
and preparing lo make more; for,
mind you, these modern mining camps
lire no place for the bum, the idler, the
dyspeptic straggler and his ilk.
' Money is in the air and every man
who is worthy in his line gets his
share of it."
Southern Oregon's Advnnlago.
This is only a hint of the real sit
uation in those mining districts where
real enterprise has become a mnel
shorn of activity delving far into the
depths of the mountains for vast for
tunes nf precious metals. Nature has
not provided them with timber and
water. At great expense theVnro oh
tnined; but, no matter what the cost,
each gallon ot water or stick of tun
her is worth forty times the price paid
for it.
Note the difference: Here we have
nil abundance of magnificent timber
for any possible measure of mining
activity and the purest mountain wn
tcr in eiiuul abundance. There they
sink shafts two" or three thousand
feetdovu into rocky bowels of the
earth to find the great ore deposits;
here the ores crop out along the foot
hills and n tunnel only is necessary to
open up the greater nnd richer dc
jiosits further into the mountains. At
.Miami one company has a fO, 000, 000
plant for its two properties, and is
making millions of dollars in its op
eration. A few thousands of dollars
down there is "small change." They
talk in hundreds of thousands and
millions'. Here it is regarded Ji stu
pendous enterprise to gather a few
dollars together to pay for improvin;
u wagon road,! There it is business
rcnl, full-blooded, productive busi
ncss. Here there is no business!
Still Another Advantage.
"The average yield per ton in that
Arizona and New Mexico region," suid
Mr. Ilrown, "is .$".."0. The highest
grade of ore in the state, found at
Jerome, is only $.10 per ton. In the
Medford district the ores run from
t'H to $200. You can find your own
average. There, rich' dep)sits are be
ing found nil the time in low-grade
ores; nnd they are being developed

the $1(19.70 or the $2ilO ores. We
'are trampling fortunes under out feet

"Jerome, where the 'big find' was
struck, yielding $.1(1 a toji, had a mere
handful of . hopeful people n few
months ago. Now it has 8"H0 a

of the European war is that a woman
lias been fighting in the trenches and
became the leader of a troop of men

Serbian trenches nil through the of

ST. PAUL, Minn., March 7. By a
vote of 81 to 4 7 the Minnesota house
indefinitely postponed action on the
Anderson statutory prohibition law.
The vote killed any chance for fur
ther legislation at this session to
abolish the liquor traffic. Many of
the drys, unwilling to enact further
promuiuon legislation at this ses
sion, in view of the constitutional
prohibition bill, today voted for post
ponement of the Anderson measure
$2,000,000 smelter at Jerome. Ilis
bce is the same. Silver City and
Tyrone, in New Mexico, are likewise
the same.
"Here we have another great ad
vantage: Civilization nnd nil its mod
em conveniences are at hand. They
are far out on the desert down there.
Here we can raise in our abundiintlv
fertile valley vast stores of supplies
for the mining cumps, all around
them, delivered fresh from the field
or the tree. There they have to take
such stuff as reaches them over the
desert roads in shriveled condition,
and for which they pay enormous
prices.
"Mining activities in southern Cali
fornia are beginning to boom; but
their greatest stir there is in the work
of great irrigation enterprises cover
ing vast areas of 'desert land on which
they will produce fruits and vege
tables for the great mining districts
south of them. Here we can't even or

WASHINGTON, March 7. Meas
ures to meet Great Britain's action in
forcing American ships to curry Brit
ish supplies are under consideration
by tho federal shipping boaH. Presi
dent Wilson's proclamation prohibit
ing tho transfer of American ships j
to foreisn registry without the
board's permission, it is' said, will be
used as a weapon to stop the British
practices.
The situation has been made acute
by the continued detention of the
schooner Muttie Newman of New
York, held at Liverpool for several
months by inability to make needed
repairs because her master would not
agree to carry war supplies. ,
"American ship owners havo made
bitter complaint against British ef
forts to coerce them into the coal
trade between Britain and France and
of attempts to force them to carry
munitions. American ships that have
run short of coal in British ports it is
declared, have been ' compelled to
agree to take coal cargoes to France
before the British authorities would
permit them to bunker coal.
One purpose of amendments to the
shipping bill, lost in the final days of
the last congress, was to give the
board more power In this respect.
They would have permitted the board
to refuse foreign registry to shfpH
now being built in American yards.
As many of these vessels are being
constructed for British capital, the
board, it is pointed out, would have
had a powerful weapon with which
to compel Great Britain to respect tile
rights of American owners.

require the aid of heaven to keep us
