The United Verde is known as "the
ciark mine." and is the property of
former United States senator Clark
of Montana.
The smelting la doe to fanlu in the
earth which caused a slipping of the
ore body and to the heavy amount of
sulphur contained in the ores.
It is necessary to smelt all sul-
phide ores to burn the sulphur from
them after they are mined. Here the
sulphur is burning out while they
remain in the mine.
Nature became so wohblv lim--
abouts that It caused a lot of rocks
inu ore Domes to tumble aboat and
slide this way and that. There was so
much sulphur in some of the ores in
some of the stopes in the Clark mine
t-at the friction in the slipping set

InpMslfcle To Step Fire.
By no means known to engineering
fucuce coaw tne lire oe extlngnisnea.
Several methods were tried but none
availed. The result has been that
the burning stopes have been shut off
from the rest of the mine by means
of concrete balkheads and are being
allowed to burn themselves oat.
The sliding and slipping of the
rock caused openings to be made to
the surface and the sulphur smoke
may be seen issuing from these
crevices. The uninitiated would swear
or affirm that there was a vol-
cano scmewhere abouts and that the
smoke -was from this.

As the engineers know that the
.Ipbur will bum out of these ores at
l. mted Verde in a few years they are
r.Ianning to retrieve the copper and
save the ernense of smeltin. so they
save the expense of smelting: so they
are already tearing: a way the sur
face with a steam shovel and this Is
not bard as the mine is in a moun-
tain and they are working along: its
sides with the shovel.
To Take Oat Copper Matte.
The earth and stone on the outside
are now being: removed and when the
ores bum out the stopes will be
opened from the surface and the
melted copper copper matte will be
removed. Of course the clinkers will
be left with the copper but they say
it will only be necessary to crush tha
ciinkers from the copper after it cools
ana take the copper direct to the re-
finery. The stopes have been burn-
ins for several years and some of th
smelted copper will be ready for re-
moval as soon as the steam shovels
can get through the surface layers of
&to4e and earth.
Meantime the burning; of these
stopes has wrought a revolution in
mining" in some of the other stopes of
the Clark properties. The heat from
these nature-smelters has become so
preat that It has made It Impossible
for the average miner to work In
many of the adjoining: stopes and it
as necessary to send to iSpain for
men to work In them.
Spaniard Only Can Bear The Heat.
The Spanish miners are accustomed
to working in great heat In mines and
can stand more of it than men of any
other nationality it Is asserted hence
many hundreds of them were brought
hre to work the stopes In the United
Verde adjoining the stopes that are
on fire.
The ores of the United "Verde mine
and the district are of a very high
sulphur content and in the early days
of mining in the district the miners
smelted their own ores without the
services of a smelter.
According to Col. James EL Mc-
Clmtock. of Phoenix and other old
timers the miners merely piled up a
small pile of pine cones to act as
kindling then piled the ore over these
cones set fire to the cones and the
cones soon fired the sulphur in the
..re. When the things had burned out.
the miners crushed the cinders and
picked tne pure copper matte out of
them.
"It was one of the most awesore
sights in the world." said Col. Mc-
Cl.ntock who is state historian of
Arizona "to pass one of these crude
smelting arrangements at night-
Looking down from a mountain near-

nether regions to smell If you have
any imagination at all about the

There is much that is romantic and
interesting about mining in the
Prertcott or Yavapai region.
Early period miners got rich here
in a day or a week. One of the

Mr. Blaine is a member of the
executive committee of the Western
States Reclamation association. He
is touring the west -to arouse senti-
ment In favor of the bill which will
save to future America Its lost acres
which are 30 times greater than the
cultivated area of the entire empire
of Japan and 10 times the cultivated
area of Japan.
At a luncheon In his honor given at
the chamber of commerce Saturday
noon Mr. Blaine told officers and
committeemen of the chamber what
is being proposed by the reclamation
interests of the west. He will leave
tonight for Albuquerque.
Big Appropriations TTeeded.
Of the s00000.000 acres to be re-
claimed 20000000 are in arid lands
80000000 acres in overflow lands and
200000000 acres of cntover lands to

The Smith-Fletcher bill authored
by congressman Smith of Idaho and
senator Fletcher of Florida provides
that $20000000 shall go Into the
reclamation fund in 1921 $80000000
in 1922 840000000 in 1923. 850000.-

added the 8120.000000 now in use in

Out of the reclamation fund such

REUGIONBACK
OF DIFFERENCES
Catholics Resent Being
Made To Appear As
Foes Of Education.
By DAVID LAWRRXCK.
WASHINGTON D. O. Jan. I.
President-elect Harding has asked
his friends in the senate and the
house who are Interested In the cre-
ation either of a department of pub-
lic welfare or a department of edu-
cation to get together and harmon-
ize their views if possible in & sin-
gle proposal that he can support. The
Inside story of the conflicting Inter-
ests and influences that have come to
the front In connection with the new
department extends back into the
pre-election campaign and involvss
an unfortunate misunderstanding as
to the true position of the Catholic
churches which has lately been the
subject of a lively discussion In the
Catholic press.
Reduce Illiteracy.
The whole thing revolves about the
establishing of a federal institution
to promote and organize the educa-
tional facilities of the United States
so as to reduce the high percentage
of illiteracy stimulate Americaniza-
tion of foreigners promote physical
education including health and sani
tation and facilitate the training ef
teachers. During the last campaign
several proposals were made for adop-
tion of a public welfare department
on the theory that opposition from
the Catholic elements would thereby
be lessened and on the theory that a
bureau of education could be put into
the department of walfare.
But the League of Women
Voters and other women's organiza-
tions have declined to support the
proposals and the argtment is being
made that the politicians who are al-
ways fearful of religious prejudice
among their const! tu aits have totally
exaggerated the position Of the Cath-
olics who. while anxious to. have no
legislation enacted which would Inter-
fere in the slightest with their control
over parochial schools are. neverthe-
less represented as iielng unwilling
to appear before the public as the
foes of any educational project that
has for its object the betterment of
all Americans without respect to race
or religion. Indeed cardinal Gibbon

friend which took the position that
It would be unfortunate indeed if the
Impression became widespread that
the Catholic church was opposed to
the promotion of education by the
federal government.
Real Trouble
The real trouble arises because of
the variety of proposals aad the fact
that the details of the Smith Towner
bill which represents the wish of the
educators of the country who are
back of the measure as well as the :
