Review of the Copper Hand
boob, Vol. TX

The ninth annual edition of the
Copper Handbook, edited and pub
lished by Horace j. Stevens, Hough-
ton, Michigan, is just received.
This work, which has become a
standard authority on the subject,
for the entire Globe, has, in its lat
est edition, 1923 octave pages, con-
tanning considerably more than a
million words, and, in addition to
the miscellaneous chapters, lists and
describes no less than 7,75l copper
mines and copper mining companies,
in all parts of the world, descrip-
tions ranging from two or three
lines in the case of companies that
have died recently, to sixteen pages
in the case of one of the largest
mines mine, by the way, that
employs some seven thousand men,
and has paid dividends of consider
ably more than a hundred million
dollars. The mine descriptions are
the same as in the preceding volume,
except that upwards of eight hun
dred new titles have been added,
covering descriptions not contained
in any previous edition. The chap
ter of statistics, containing upwards
of forty tables, treating of copper
from almost every conceivable stand
point, has been fully revised, and
brought as nearly as possible to
date.
The miscellaneous chapters of the
book, twenty-four in number, treat
on the subject of copper from a
great variety of view points, includ-
ing the history, chemistry, mineral
ogy, metallurgy and uses of the
metal, and this section of the book
also has chapters devoted to sub
stitutes, alloys, brands and grades,
and copious glossary.
The plan on which the book is
sold remains the same as for seven
years past, the publisher sending the
book by mail, fully prepaid, to any
address ordered, without advance
payment of any sort, and subject to
approval after weeks inspection.
The price is $500. That this un-
usually liberal plan has proven sue
cessful is showed by the statement

Arizona, a New Star on the
Flag"

Having as it's title, Arizona, a
New Star on the Flag" one of the
finest tributes ever paid to this
Territory appears in the current
number of the West Coast Magazine,
issued by the Grafton Publishing
company, of Los Angeles.
The article on Arizona was writ
ten by John S. McGoarty, one of
the ablest authors and writer's on
the Pacific coast, and it speaks of
this Territory in such terms that a
few paragraphs from the article
are reproduced as follows:
Buried deep in the sands are the
Seven Cities of Cibola, but over
their ruins and high above their
lost towers stand thrice seven cities
now, richer, more beautiful and
endlessly more alluring with the
romance of progress than Cibola
ever was. Again the fields are
green from the touch of living
waters, again are wrought from the
treasure houses of the inexhaustible
hill, gold and silver and bronze for
queens girdle and the battle axes
of chieftains. The name Of Ari-
zona that was writ in sand through
countless ages of sleep is now writ
ten in furnace flame on the scroll of
midnight skies.
Gone is the lawless life of the
desert, the Apache has been beaten
step by step and inch by inch into
submission, his war bonnet hung
away forever, his children learning
to read and write in school, his sons
with their strong hands to the plow.
The freighter's wagon has disap-
peared from the mountain trail
where the marauder laid in wait for
it, and the iron horse thunders east
and west, north and south with its
ever increasing burdens of spoils
from mine and field to enrich Ari-
zona within and the world without.
Schools and churches and stately
marts of trade and commerce
stretch in glittering array from the
great forests of Coconino in the
north to the mineral laden hills of
Cochise in the south. On the plains
are the brilliantly lighted towns,
and in the towns are the spendid
homes of people who have seized
unto themselves all that is best in
twentieth century luxury and re-
linement.

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.
