Arizona Water Code Passed by Legislature
The Arizona water code, praised by Professor G. E. Smith, establishes a centralized system for determining and protecting water rights across irrigation, power, mining, and other uses. It creates a public registry, records each valid appropriation, and prioritizes orderly distribution to prevent theft and waste while enabling federal storage projects on the Gila River to proceed once adjudication is complete. The plan begins with the Gila watershed, then Yuma, Little Colorado, and other areas, ultimately fixing all rights and ending water litigation.

The Shannon Copper Company of Arizona will close its mine and smelter after a long decline in copper prices and rising losses. The Yaeger mine cost $75,000 with $125,000 spent on development, totaling $200,000, but current copper prices and inventories wipe out working capital. A potential sale to Arizona Copper Company is discussed, with engineering inspections under way. Separately, Arizona officials void a land leasing bill and four emergency measures, noting they are not laws without governor approval or full legislative action.
