Wednesday

Determined efforts have been made by the German troops to force the allies back in West Flanders, but all efforts have failed and night found the two opposing armies in about the same relative position that they were when tne fighting started in the morning.
 The scene of the greatest blood shed seems to have been in the vicinity of the Yser canal, which connects with the ocean. The al lies are strongly entrenched ou the one side of the canal. and the Ger mans are reported to have attempt ed to cross the stream seven differ ent times during the day but each time were driven back. The loss of life is said to be almost indescrib- able.
 The French are reported to have made slight gains in the vicinity of Roulers. Belgium, but the gain is declared to be of little importance, In the vicinity of Ypress, Belgium, the fighting is letting up, owing. it is said, to the inability of the sol diers to keep on their feet, on ac- count of exhaustion.
 Cold weather in the western part of Russia is causing much suffering among the troops. Achievements of new Russian troops have forced the Germans to retreat in many places in Warsaw. In Galicia, the situation is in doubt. as the reports are contradictory. The reports from Russia and France are to the ef- feet that the Germans and AuStrians are losing ground, while it is re- ported from Germany that there is no change in the situation.

Circle Men Held
 For Grand Jury

F. s. Erickson and William Leh- man are being held at Circle to await the action of the next grand jury, on a charge of assault with dan@er- ous weapons. The news of the hear ing given the two men and the ac- ton of the commissioner at Circle in binding them over to the grand jury was received by the marshals office from Deputy Marshal Spen- cer.
 More than a week ago, Erickson and Lehman and man named Jim Lougherty were involved in a seri- ous fight at the Miller roadhouse. near Circle, the cause of the trouble being a woman. Erickson was stab- bed twice, and the other men were more or less injured. The limited information on the subject received does not indicate what was done with Lougherty and the woman who were supposed to have been ar rested also.

Hostilities along the Belgian and French seacoast came to stand still today. but whether the Hull in the activities was due to the ex- haustion of the troops or to some new strategic plan, is not fully un- derstood.

It is said that the Germans are shipping large supplies of ammunition and endorsements to the scene of the battle and a fear is expressed that the Teutons are preparing to strike blow in a new place.

3-Foot Body of Ore Struck.

From a reliable source it was learn ed yesterday that very important strike has been made in the Big Pine mines of the Hassayampa district, the actual values not being known, but the indications being that it is without doubt one of the most noteworthy that has ever been known in that field.
 According to the statement made by a miner, and not the owners, three foot body of ore had been exposed in the face of the main tunnel being driven to the south which showed wire silver freely in evidence and with which was associated what appeared to be high grade gold zone, in an ore body of an oxidized condition. The Big Pine is said to be under op- tion of sale, and quite large line of development is going on at the present time to make determinations before the property changed hands.-Prescott Journal.

Ray Consolidate

This company, as stated previously in these columns, broke all It's previous production records in January with an output of ,, 705.0 pounds of copper, which is equivalent to 6S,OOO,OO pounds annually. The company is now producing very nearly up to the capacity of it's mill, and as the work ings gradually get into the higher grade ore, and away from the fringes of the deposit, where great deal of low grade material is now being min ed, its output will increase to between 5000, ,OOO and 100000 pounds month.
 The greatest improvement Ray prob ably will make this year will be in the matter of reducing It's copper costs. whereas it's copper cost 9S3 cents in 1912 and probably more than 10 cents in 1913 There is good reason to be. lieve that it will be brought down eventually to around or 9 cents a pound From this time forward Ray Consolidated will be paratively simple manufacturing proposition. The management will have none of those cares usually incidentt to mining of finding new ore, applying different methods of extraction. to ore bodies of various shapes and sizes, etc., and will be able to give its entire attention to the work of reducing costs in it's several departments and increasing the recovery of copper in concentra- tlon.-Phoenlx Republican.
