TIN CANS USED
IN RECOVERING
COPPERSUCCESS
PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 16 The
business of “turning t in cans into
copper." as the process is popularly
described, is reaching large propor
tions in Arizona.
The process, which actually con
sists In recovering copper from wa
ter through the use of scrap iron,
which displaces the copper In solu
tion, is by no means new, hut has
been extended and improved In re
cent years so that several hundred
carloads of tin cans, as well as large
quantities of scrap Iron* are now
shipped to Arizona mining centers
each year.
At most of the mining centers in
the state the process is subordinate
to main raining operations, being
used merely to extract copper from
water seepage pumped from the
mines. This water contains a small
quantity of copper, less than two
tenths of one per cent. In solution.
The water is run through sluices
where scrap Iron has been placed.
Part of the Iron goes into solution
and the copper is deposited In the
bottom of the sluices and is collected
at Intervals. The process is valua
ble principally on account of the
low expense Involved.
At Ajo. a mining camp in the
southwestern part of the state, the
principle has been extended and the
scrap Iron method is used as one
step In the electrolytic process of
extracting copper from ore. The
process, according to mining men, Is
not confined to Arizona mines but
Is also used in Montana and Utah.
Since the object Is to get scrap
Iron with as much surface an pos
sible in proportion to its weight, tin
cans, which are actually made of
iron and not tin, answer the pur
pose admirably.
Most of the tin cans are shipped
from Arizona and Southern Califor- \
ilia cities, although some shipments
are also made from eastern states. !

WILL DESIGN MOTOR CARS
TO MEET ROAD CONDITIONS
STOCKHOLM, Au£. 16—Swoden,
considering the motorizing of its high
way traffic, declares that the general
establishment of regular automobile
passenger and truck service cannot
await the construction of new roads
I and the rebuilding of old ones, but
I that motor vehicle must be adapted
i to the roads.
I The toads are to be divided into
; four classes, according to the weights
i which they aro able to sustain.
■Trailers, rather thah additional mo
[tor trucks, are to be ujpd wherever
the traffic Is large. A curious type
of vehicle Is recommended for winter
use in northern Sweden. This car is
to have sleigh rdnners instead ot

DEAD FACE ON

more strange because it lias appeared
just below the memorial window
which was set to the dean. Thr
head in the wall is lacing towards
his wife's tablet, Which is engraved
in Latin, "Farewell, sweetest and
dearest, farewell.”
Mr. W. Francis, the dean's verger
at Christ Church Cathedral, is keenly
interested. "One does not like to put
this down to Anything occult," he
said, "but the appearance of the
dean’s face by his wife's memorial
tablet is certainly an extraordinary
; matter. ft has been gradually ap
j pearing for the last two years."
Two Solutions Offered
l Two explanations of the phenome
non have been offered. The first is
■ the easy solution of coincidence.
f>amp stains < oming through the
plaster of the wall have formed the
head and facial outline of the dean
j say the people who hold this the
lory, but It is remarkable that the
i stains should trace the portrait ol
j Dean Liddell on the wall immediately
| below a window dedicated to his
\ memory.
The other explanation is that oi
super-normal Influence. This can
[only be investigated properly by the
! Psychical Research Society. Many
j Oxford people believe in this ex
. planation.
Dean Liddell was the father oi
the “Alice” for whom Lewis Carroll's
of “Alice In WoptJjerlaud" was thought
out in the dean’s garden .a few

RECENT STRIKES
ON TEXAS CREEK
ARE PROMISING
Most Encouraging in History
of Hyder—Many Claims
Staked on Creek.
Recent discoveries on Texas Creek
in the Portland Canal district on
the American side of the Interna
tional boundary line are t.he moet
premising in the history of that
region, according to C. W. Cheat
ham, Aset. District Kngineer, U. S.
Bureau of Public Roada, who re
turned early this week from a visit
to Hyder. Two or three strikes
have been made in the past several
weeks, assays of ore samples from
them showing high values, he said.
The ore is silver-lead carrying
gold of marked value. While work
on the claims where the discoveries
were made Is still in the prospecting
stage, the Indications are said to be
j highly encouraging and the entire
i district is plastered with locations.
The miners and prospectors in the
district are confident that Texas
Creek will be the scene of the big
gest mining operations in the Terri
tory in the not distant future, he
said.
Mr. Cheatham went to Hyder with
| Surveyor General Karl Thiele to
1 Inspect river conditions near Hyder
where it was reported that ob
structions In the Salmon River were
of such nature as to endanger the
town should water in it reach an
extreme high stage. Such danger
does exist, he said, but it is hardly
I as serious and immediate as had
been thought from the reports re
ceived here. Prevention work, he
addod is needed, to insure the town
against future damage. He esti
mated the cost of this work to be
between $8,000 and $9,000. Until
the return of Mr. Theilc, he added,
j no decision would be made as to
| how the situation will be handled.
| Mr. Thelle Is expected here Sunday
iand early next week, he and Mr.
j Cheatham will go over the matter
I with Governor Bone.
