Volume 30 TO TOWN MARSHALL NABS THREE NAVY DESERTERS ; Town Marshal Bobby Burns made a lucky catch last Thurs day night when he picked up three deserters from the U. S. Battleship Pennslyvania. He noticed three young men get off from a freight and stepping up to them engaged in conver sation with the three. He soon learned enough to know that all three belonged in jail, and accordingly placed them there. It developed that the three had stolen a Ford in California and had driven the car as far as Kingman where they aband oned it. They also confessed to being deserters from the Pennsylvania. On Tuesday of this week the three were haled before Geo. McDougall, acting U. S. Court Commissioner and given a pre liminary hearing. Atty. Wilke of Phoenix one of the officials of the Department of Justice came up to handle the case. The three are now' held under the Dyer act and will be brought up before the Federal Court at its next term. The three were taken to Flagstaff Tuesday night and are being held in the county jail awaiting trail. Marshal Burns has received a reward of $75 for taking the three. This reward is paid by the Automobile Association of California. . ART AND BEAUTY TRIUMPH. A work of art and beauty is to be found in the new ship . ment of pottery which Duffy Brothers have installed this week. It is a joy just to look at this wonderful . display of baskets, jars, vases beautifully molded and colored. They are an artistic triumph in pot tery. Tt will be well worth your while to stop at the hard ware department of this firm and look these over. LOWER RATES FOR ORE January 3. 1922. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail way will at once amend its tariffs to provide that the rate on less than carload shipments of ore will be one hundred thirty percent of the carload rate on ore. This means a marked " reduction in rates generally, and will great ly assist those who are develop ing the mining industry by mak ing a low rate basis on ship ments for experimental pur poses. Mrs. Brant Rest Beside Husband. The remains of Mrs. Brant were laid at rest beside the body of her husband, at Grand Canyon on Tuesday. Mrs. Brant died in Los Angeles a year ago and was buried there. It was known that it was the desire of both to be. laid at rest side by side. Both looked, up on Grand Canyon as their home and so it was decided that both should rest there.

MINE OUTPUT MUCH LESS The mine output of copper decreased fi-om 558.256,302 I pounds in 1920 to about 160, j 087.000 pounds in 1)21. The i value of the output dscreased ! from $102,719,160 in 1920 to 'about $20,565,000 in 1921, owing to the curtailment of pro j duction and the decrease in the ! average price of copper from 18.40 cents to 12.50 cents pound. The Consolidated Arizona smelter was idle througout the year, and by May all the copper smelters of Ari zona were idle and most of the mines were forced to close. The Miami Copper Co., how ever, " continued to make con centrate at the usual rate, and the Internationl smelter resum ed operations late in the year to treat the accumulated material. The leaching of copper ore was continued at the New Cornelia plant,, at Ajo. The Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona companies mined and shipped to Douglas a reduced quantity of copper ore after the smelt ing plants were closed. The mine production of lead in Arizona decreased from 14, 599,765 pounds in 1920 to a bout 5,182,000 pounds in 1921. The value of the output de creased from $1,167,981 to about $238,000. No ship ments of lead ore or concen trate were made from the Shat tuck mine, which was the larg est producer of lead in 1920. Much silver-lead ore, however, was shipped from the Copper Queen mine, especially from September to the close of the year, and the Bunker Hill Co., at Tombstone, shipped much lead ore as well a silver ore to El Paso, Tex. As the demand for zinc was poor and the price decreased to about 5.1 1 cents a pound, no zinc ore was' shipped from mines in Arizona. The Ari zona Hillside property in Yava pai County was idle. The dividends paid by" Ari zona mining companies during the first eleven months of 1921 amounted to about $5,225,828, exclusive of $2,475,000 paid by the Phelps Dodge Corporation, which also operated mines in Mexico and New Mexico. The compaies that paid dividends were the Miami. United East ern, United Verde, Calumet & sion, and Prelps Dodge Corpor ation, the last principally for the Copper Queen mine. The value of the gold, silver, copper, and lead produced by mines in Arizona in 1921, ac cording to the estimate of V. C. Heikes, of the United State Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, was about $26, 000.000, a decrease from $114, 628,584 in 1920. As most of the copper-smelting plants were ciosea alter jviarcn or April the output of copper was j less than one-third of that in 1 920. No zinc was marketed, the output of lead was abnor mally reduced, and the output of gold and silver was only half that of 1920. The gold produced by mines came near causing a very ser in Arizona decreased from $4,- i ious accident. He fell over 786,122 in 1920 to about $3,-tthe 046,000 in 1921. largely be cause oi the closing of the cop per mines but partly because of the smaller output of gold ore. Operations were continued at the United Eastern and Tom Reed properties, in the San Francisco district, Mohave County, but the output was somewhat less than in 1920. The United Eastern Co. pro duced about 60 per cent of the gold output of the State in 1921. Of the copper properties the Calmut & Arizona, United J Verde-, and Copper Queen mines were the largest pro ducers of gold, though they were actively operated only a bout three months of the year. The mine output of silver de creased from 5.355,303 ounces in 1920 to about 2,179,000 ounces in 1921. As most of the silver is associated with cop per ore the -decreased amount of silver was due to the de Creased mining of copper. The WILLIAMS BASKET BALL TEAM WINS AND LOSES The Boys' Basket Ball Team ' . o f the Williams High School foot rrnmoa r th( great indoor sport on Friday and Saturday of last week, winning one and losing the other. The boys left on No. 22 Friday and returned on No. a!21. Sunday morning. The team went first to Hol brook where the local team was defeated by a score of 48 to 21. The Williams boys led off in good shape and had the best of the tussle for the first half, the score then being 14 to 13 in favor of Williams. During the next half the Williams boys lost their grip and the last whistle found them with but 21 to Holbrook's 48. Saturday night found the Williams boys on the Winslow court putting up a grand fight which they hardly dared hope might end in victory. The Winslow team was known to be a strong one, supposedly strong er than Holbrook. The end of the first half found Winslow one ahead, the score being 14 to 15. In the second half the Williams boys got together in a way that took the heart com pletely out of Winslow. ! In desperation the Winslow coach worked in subs until 17 men in all were used, but despite this the Williams boys piled up 37 by the end of the game while Winslow could land but 20. After the game the Winslow boys honored the Williams team with a dance, which prov ed a very pleasant affair. The Williams boys returned Sunday thoroughly tired but well pleased with the showing they had made. Those to take the trip were : Richard "Cole and Arnulfo Luna, forwards ; Raymond Rupe, center; Ora Conway, Capt. and Jesus Quijada guards Verdi Barnes sub, Denman Griffith, moscot and L. B. Britt coach.- I. O. O. F. DOINGS A good attendance on Wed nesday night. O. A. Kirby was instructed into the Mys teries of the Initiatory Degree, after which the Ladies of the Rebekah Lodge gave us a pleasant call, with cake and coffee and final arrangements were made for holding joint Installation on Friday night. We would urge every Odd Fel low to be in attendance as it will be worth w-hile, especially if you are slightly underfed for Bro. C. C. Carpenter is so happy over the arrival of a little Odd Fellow at his house, that he has furnished a 50 rjound ni v for the big feed, and we take this means of publicly thanking him for his generosity and big heart -edness for we were all very hungry. Our Janitor is a very fine boy and we like him, but he and the Goat knock- ed the chair out from under Bro. Sullivant and came very near escaping. We would warn the Janitor that if he does such a thing again, his salary will be held up for one month. Last reports were that Bro. Tug McCarty was feeling fine and frisky. Truly Yours. The Link Scribe. largest producers of silver were the Calumet & Arizona. Bun- ker Hill. United Verde. Copper Queen, United Verde Extension Magma, and Commonwealth mines. There was much activ ity at Tombstone, even after the closing of the smelters at Doug las, as arrangements were made to ship the ore to El Paso, Tex. Much silver ore was also treat ed , locally in milling plants. The C. O. D. mine, near King man, operated a new mill, and was a producer of considerable silver-lead ore. SKATING IS POPULAR SPORT THESE DAYS j Williams young people -and ; some of them not so young are getting a nne tasie oi i.ae great v,..iLci vji. i , o n.c. la . fe ui The dams are full, the ice is smooth as glass and at the pres- ent writing the ice is sufficient- ly thick to make skating quite safe. The weather each night has been clear . and spicy, but not bitterly cold. Altogether ! no finer opportunity for skating has been offered the young peo ple of Williams. No finer out-door sport than ice skating can be found. What joy there is in speeding over the glassy surface with but a frac tion of the effort taken in walk ing. What a thrill it gives one to cut the night air with the speed and ease of a bird. Those who have never learned to skate have missed one of the greatest joys of youth. A perfect "mob" is reported at the Stanta Fe dam each nigh, The stores have such a run on skates as they have not known in years. Williams young peo ple are certainly taking full ad vantage of this unusually good opportunity for the greatest of winter sports. Fame of Williams Girl Reaches Phoenix. The fame of Miss Vivian Spellmire, the Williams girl who won such high favor through her interpretive danc ing, with a Flagstaff audience last week, has reached Phoenix. She has been asked by a representative of the Phoenix Woman's Club, if she will not agree to dance at a Club benefit there, in the near future. Miss Vivian has not yet made her re ply, but there is a strong probability that arrangements will be made for her appear ance in Phoenix some . time ' in the spring. ... .

GARLAND PRAIRIE ITEMS It cost Oiver Gardner just one hundred and sixty-six dol lars to get his place surveyed. j The surveyor was on the job ! two weeks, and experienced i difficultv in locatincr th old corners. The original survey ! of Garland Prairie was made I in 1878. . The work was done j by contract, and Surveyor Jim ; Lamport of Flagstaff says that i the work was verv noorlv done. A few days ago H. S. Perry saw wnat he believed to be coon tracks. He followed the tracks, which led to a hollow oak tree. He cut' down the trees and got four fine big fat racoons. The folks of the neighborhood enjoyed a feast, and also rendered out enough oil from the racoons to oil har ness and saddles for a long time. Dick Sedio, who is employed on the Shelley Ranch, while traveling down Sycamore Can yon saw the biggest tracks he had ever seen those of a bear measuring 14 inches across. They were fresh tracks. Dick says he left that Canyon right now, as he didn't want to meet any monster that owned feet that big. Mrs. L. W. Cureton has been reemployed as teacher at the Garland Prairie School for the ensuing term. Bill Morgan has set the pace in sled building. Bill built the sled so that he could get out, snow or no snow. Anybody contemplating building a sled should look at the one Bill built. OTHER ITEMS Albert Hackerson and Bob Kennedy returned from their trapping trip in sycamore Can yon without. the bear: 'iThey claim the storm caught them and they had to come in. It looks as if bruin and his family will enjoy a good peaceful life. Albertand Bohr say- they found fresh tracks measuring 34 inch es across. Anyway, who wants to hunt bear that big? It looks as if the North Pole may be located in Pittman Val ley. On the morning of the 5th the lowest temperature re corded in Williams was zero, in Spring Valley 4 degrees above zero, in Garland Prairie 2 degrees above zero, while at the Chalender Ranger Station -in Pittman Valley the then mometer register eight degrees below zero. It has always been known to the old timers I that Pittman Valley was the coldest spot in the country but it was not known that the dif ference in temperature was so great. People hunting a fine healthful, cool invigorating cli mate, should go to Pittman Val ley, where the people never get sick and seldom die. Tom McWilliams, who looks after the state highway be tween Williams and Bellemont. played the part of the good i Samaritan, when a couple of j weeks ago be took m a poor penniless hungry hobo and fed and kept him. Tom allowed him to live in his house. How ever, upon returning home Monday evening, Tom found his guest had departed, with out notice, and also took Tom's bfd and hfdfiincr r.lnfhiTicr. i groceries, etc. Tom now med- I itates over "how sharper than ! a serpent s tooth is the ingrati tude of a thankless bo." A crew of men under Pat Kennedy worked until Christ mas weak rebuilding J D Dam, which washed out last summer. Before Christmas the boys laid off to enjoy the holidays, with only five feet more of the dam to build to complete it. How ever, a few days later the flood waters washed out all the dam that was rebuilt, and it is now not worth a dam. All work that Mr. Kennedy and his men have done is a total loss. Such is the irony of fate. GRAND CANYON BANK ORGANIZED IN WMS. Williams has a new bank. Messrs David Babbitt. George i H. Spellmire, Edward D. Tpell- ! mire and Lovell Spellmi; i the organizers and dir The company's Articles i corporation appear else are tors, f In here in this paper.

ENORMOUS REDUCTIONS SHOWN AT BABBITTS Babbitts are making very large reductions on many goods in their store this week. Some of the prices go below the old pre-war levels. A study of these prices will well repay anyone interested in making the dollar reach as in the days of yore. CYCLONE HITS WILLIAMS FJRST TIME IN HISTORY- For the first time in the his tory . f this town a cyclone struc k. this locality. The storm descended -Thursday -night at eight o'clock and lasted for con siderably over an hour something-- almost unheard of f or cyclones. However, this par ticular cyclone was quite differ ent from the usual Kansas and" Central States type. This was a cyclone of fun and laugh ter. It was headed by the Wil liams Cyclone Theatrical Com pany and followed by . an ava lanche of applaus. Which is to say that the Cy clone company directed by Miss j Opal Massey staged the comedy drama, "Aaron Slick from Pun kin Crick" at the Sultana Thurs day night, and made an even greater success of this product ion than practically the same set of players did with "Daddy"" iast season The company has been well named, for the entire house, filled to capacity, was whirled away to an hour and more of mirth and laughter at the extremely humorous com edy unusually well put on. The producers have been showered with compliments - and have been asked to appear again in Williams at a later date. The play, will be presented by the Cyclone company at Ash Fork Saturday night, and plans are being completed for its presentation at Flagstaff and Prescott at later dates. The production was direct ed by Miss Opal Massey. Those taking part in the play were : Ora Conway , James Cunningham Harriett Lebsch Ruby Massey Nona Conway Kenneth Lebsch Opal Massey. An added feature of the pro gram which delighted the audi ence was the dancing of Helen: Rounsville, between acts. So insistent was the applause that Miss Rounsville was forced to give two encores.
