MINES HOLD BIG PLACE Great Industry Described as Basis of World Civilization By J. L. Ward of J. L. Ward & Co., Anaheim. Not until the human mind began to discover the different uses of the various metals, was there any material advancement made by the human race. Without those discoveries, we would still be living like monkeys in the wilds of Africa. The first step toward the dawn of civilization came with the Stone Age, when men used implements and weapons of stone, and these crude implements sufficed for untold cycles of centuries, until mankind learned how to make better and more varied implements of iron and of copper, which latter metal was at one time hardened by some process unknown today. When mankind learned to apply heat to metal in order to share it to his needs, he had taken the first great step toward civilization, and from that time down the centuries to today he has advanced at an ever increasing rate. His development is based on the discovery of metals and their many uses, from the first prehistoric iron spear-head, to the most recently discovered metal—radium. Without the use of metals knowledge and enlightenment could be spread only through the slow medium of personal contact; the soil could be cultivated only with crooked sticks; there would be no tools of any description, no means or communication, no railroads, automobile or electric devices; in short there could be no civilization, were it not for the mines of iron, copper, lead or zinc. Basis of Wealth Mining is the basis of our permanent wealth. Though the farmer is an absolute necessity, because he grows the substance that sustains Cheaper Tires Is Demand Now; Walter Although not one single out and out statement is available, it is nevertheless apparent that the tire industry has started to make cheaper tires at lower prices, says S. R. Walter, Kelly-Springfield tire distributor. Since the inception of the automobile business, the efforts of tire manufacturers have been directed towards the best possible tire. In 1910 a mileage of 3,000 miles was guaranteed to the consumer. In 1916 this guarantee rose to 4,000 and this continued to increase until 7,560 miles were guaranteed last year, and it is estimated now that the average tire will give 8,000 miles of service. But the signs are now clear that the manufacturers have realized that they have made tires too good, and as a result a large amount of factory space continues to create overhead expenses without any change for earnings. To overcome this, cheaper tires will be made. The price will continue to go down on these tires and the repeat orders will be more numerous. The number of tires made will be larger, the available factory space will be utilized and although the profit on each tire will be smaller, the aggregate profits will be larger. Strange as it may seem, it is apparent that the "Gym" manufacturers who introduced cheap tires with a low mileage return have so extent converted the other manufacturers to their views. The "Gym" manufacturers have created a demand which the legitimate manufacturers are now going to supply. Recently several companies placed upon the market tires which contained less rubber. Less fabric and were the result of less labor than those of former standard lines. The tires would give satisfaction, the manufacturers stated, but the statement was not as strong as that made regarding the older lines. Other companies followed the example of the leader. Each one of the companies which has placed smaller tires upon the market has experienced a remarkable increase in business in those BOXERS WRES AND BY Roy Mabe must have been a club's arena and boxing eveney was not refereeing, crowbar or joke of his contender Young Male and Johnny raised the cew willing and teya appeared and wore learned by his fists a little in the earlily when expert up a good fit Young Perpetual subdue the second base Anaheim.

Basis of Wealth Mining is the basis of our permanent wealth. Though the farmer is an absolute necessity, because he grows the substance that sustains life, that furnishes brains to convert these various minerals that come from Mother Earth into all kinds of tools and machines, that make present modern hobbies and conveniences possible, yet the product of the farm adds nothing to the community in which it is consumed, measured by money value. For instance, if the state of California produces a million bushels of wheat and the wheat be consumed within its boundaries, there is no more money in circulation than before this wheat was raised. But if the million dollars that it took to purchase this wheat by the populace within the state, was used to dig out a million dollars worth of gold, the million dollars used for this purpose would still be in existence, and in addition we would have the other million which was dug from the earth. Therefore we would have two million dollars in circulation within the boundaries of California with which to buy the products of the other man's labor, to build homes, railroads and all other improvements, and the world is richer by one million dollars. Where otherwise, if we depended on the products of the farm for our circulation medium, it would never increase unless the farm products were sold to some other community, in which case that other community would then be the poorer, in dollars and cents, by the amount which they paid us for the product. And as the product would be quickly consumed, the world would not be enriched one lota by the transaction. Mining Essential A brief and simple analysis of present day conditions will at once convince one of how positively and even definitely the existence of every occupation is interwoven with the mining industry. Without this basic industry every branch of trade, commerce, manufacturing and farming would be irrevocably crippled. Eliminate mining and promptly the world would lose its progress—its modern methods of building and lighting, heating, plumbing, painting and maintaining these buildings would cease; cities become depopulated and conveniences of modern civilization would become utterly void. If one will analyze the relationship that mining bears to the general prosperity of the country, he will readily see the great turkers are now going to supply. Recently several companies placed upon the market tires which contained less rubber, less fabric and were the result of less labor than those of former standard lines. The tires would give satisfaction, the manufacturers stated, but the statement was not as strong as that made regarding the older linen. Other companies followed the example of the leader. Each one of the companies which has placed smaller tires upon the market has experienced a remarkable increase in business in those lines. High priced and high quality tires will always be available. It is possible to buy $100 tailor-made suits. Those who want that kind of quality buy them. The great mass of people, however, buy the cheaper suits. So with tires it will always be possible to buy high priced tires and some persons will prefer them. But the great mass will start buying the cheaper merchandise and repeat their orders. The people want change and they do not want a tire to last for 10,000 or 12,000 miles. It is the trend of the times. MAC DRY BATTERY MAKING GOOD HERE B. F. Herr formerly with West Bros., who took quarters in Sam Hubbell's Paige garage at 252 North Los Angeles street a month or two ago, is bringing the public to recognize the merits of his Mac dry battery. The battery, one of several dry batteries introduced here, is one of the best manufactured, with certain improvements not found in others. SPENCER COAL ADMINISTRATOR WASHINGTON, July 29. — The President has appointed Henry B. Spencer coal administrator for the period of the strike. He formerly was purchasing agent for the railway administration during the war. since 1917, it must be conceded that it is a great mine. There is no doubt that other great mines will be developed in Mohave county, and that many California people will become wealthy through mining investments in the Arizona gold field.

Every cent of your investment will be returned from first production, after deducting first costs and royalties. Equally interesting as the tonnage percentage is the enormous amount of taxes that are paid into the treasuries of state and county in localities where there are producing mines, and into the United States treasury as well. In Arizona the mines pay more than half all the banks, merchants, railroads, farming and live stock industries combined. The assessed values of parented producing mines in Arizona for the year 1922 is $384,101,615, being more than half the entire assessed valuation of property in the state. In Mohave county, in the mines of which many Californians people are interested, the United Eastern is assessed for 1922 at $5,477,922. When you consider that... BOXERS RESORT TO WRESTLING HOLDS AND SLOW UP CARD By Sargum Sprout Roy Mabee and his wrestling stuff must have been responsible for the behavior of several Billy Darnley's trick athletes at the Athletic club's arena last night. Wrestling and boxing do not mix well for an evening's entertainment. Billy Darnley was not properly prepared for his refereeing. He should have had a crowbar or pickaxe to have kept some of his contestants apart. Young Monteya from Placentia and Johnny Mendes of La Habra raised the curtain. These boys were willing and gave all they had. Monteya appeared to be the more experienced and won all the way. Mendes learned by the last round to use his fists a little and did much better than in the earlier rounds. These boys, when experienced, will be able to put up a good fight. Young Perry of Whittier, or some person, subbed for Johnny Bush, in the second bout with Jimmy Lloyd of Anaheim. This Lloyd fellow was trying for the headlock all the time and Perry succeeded in getting a crotch hold several times. Lloyd's idea is to hog-tie his man and then knock him in the head. Perry used a right upper-cut to good advantage as they went into the clinches. Lloyd has a good right punch if he ever learns to use it. Perry was given the decision. Cupule Dillon changed his name to Paddy O'Farrel in his mix with Johnny McGraw. The latter is a willing performer and gave Packy a good boxing lesson. Packy succeeded in landing some heavy blows but covered so much that McGraw had the candy all the way. The semi-windup between Paddy Dillon and Johnny Dempsey was the best bout on the cards. The boys were willing and did some fighting. Paddy was the strongest and landed some body blows that staggered Mr. Dempsey. The bout was Dillion's most of the way. Mike Golindo and Young Dudley were billed as the main event. Mike tried to make a Houdini out of Dud- Baseball Standings PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L. P.c.

Hit Here The Dodge business coupe, which reached Charley Mann's showroom on South Los Angeles street this week, has already started orders coming Mann's way from business men who appreciate a practical, but good looking car for everyday use. The car Mann has received is for exhibition purposes only. Its features are an all-steel body, leather upholstery, large rear deck loading space, roomy two-passenger seat provided with heater from exhaust, and hood raised to produce a straight line effect. The price of $1170 makes this car one of the very best values on the market today in its class. The heater of course costs nothing to operate. On a cold night it will be very acceptable even in Orange-co. The car is finished in a durable all baked enamel black, which has stood the test of time on all the Dodge cars. The company has discontinued making the family coupe. RAZOR STROP A patent has been granted for a rabor strop made of hair from horses' tails bunched and fastened together at the ends.

The Franklin is longer-lived and freer from trouble than any other car. Used car market reports prove this fact, and a score of recent improvements make it even more pronounced. Engine bearing life is tripled by the new case-hardened crankshaft. No taking up of bearings during an ordinary ownership. The only car that has this great contribution to endurance. In each step you see progress in wearing quality: automatic lubrication of valves and steering yoke pins, adjustable spring pivot bolts, larger propeller shaft, lengthened rear springs. And with the perfected silent-chain starter drive and patented Long-type aluminum pistons goes the quietness of fine-fitting, smooth-running mechanism; with new starter, electric vaporizer and intensified spark goes the dependability of efficient cold-weather starting.
