ZINC EXPORTS BREAK
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-All pre-
vfous records in expectations Of dOmes~
tic zinc were surpassed by the ship
ments during the last three months
which rose to the unprecedented total
of 65,5O4.574 pounds, valued at S4,443,-
3S1, as compared with 1,346,S77 pounds,
valued at SSO,756 in the corresponding
period a year ago
Figures compiled by the bureau of
foreign Snd domestic commerce, Of the
department of commerce, show that the
exports of domestic zinc in the form
of pigs, ingOts, bars. etc, in the last
three months exceeded the total for the
seven-year period which ended with
June, 1914. In the last four fiscal
years zinc exports have averaged r.
500 600 pounds per annum. In 1897. the
former high-recOrd year in exports Of
zinc. the total was 35,869,987 pounds.
That figure, however, was surpassed by
the single month of September last
with an export total of 3S,090,144
pounds of zinc pigs ingots, etc.
The unusually large exports or zinc
in recent months were sent chiefly to
Europe. In September, when the ex-
ports Of zinc pigs, etc, rose to the
highest point ever known. 2S,0OO,000
pounds were sent to England, 100000
mounds each to Scotland and France,
and 333,333 pounds each to Denmark
and Italy, while ,25O 600 pounds went

BUSINESS SPECIALISTS ALL SAY
CITYS COMMERCIAL HEALTH fine
Four Business Men Declare that FL Paso Has Best Bs
ness Of ANY City in the South and that Business Is
Getting Better All the Time; Predict Great
Year in 1915 in ALI Lines of Business

what 7 consider remarkable business
conditions for this or any other CITY,
It has been right up to eXpecta I ION,
in every department and we are NV NV
doing a capacity business. The pesI
proof of this is to look at our STORE
and,see the business that we are dOlhs
on every floor.
I'VE have not been in business long
enough to compare our present trace
with that Of previous periods. But
we have been in business long enough
to know that business here IS DelteI
than any one can expect under the
present conditions. The best part OF
it is that our business is stable ana
is growing better all the time.
NJ. CObIentz of the White House.
Business is better than last year
and the new year is going to be Dlgger
than ever" Myrtl Coblentz said our
trade has been way above that OF last
year and we are employing 40 people
now, as against so last year. our
stocks are heavier because we are DO
ing a greater volume OF business alu
need more goods. we would never
know that there is a war gong on IN
Europe to judge by the business our
store has been doing. We nave been
forced to double our stock to care for
this increase and the new year viii
20 right ahead increasing 1 believe.
I'VE will not know just how lucky
we have been in Ell Paso until later
when the situation can be reviewed and
we realize that we have been prac-
tically the only city in the country that
escaped some depression because of the
war in Europe.
j. StOiHroff, of the Boston.
Gas Christmas approaches our busi-
ness Increases rapidly and this promises
to be one of the best years In the his
tory of the store Considering condi-
lions in Mexico and Europe, we have
much to be thankful for in a business
way. But business will be even bet
ter within the next three months for
Mexico, northern Mexico at least, is
returning to normal and there is where
we do much of our business outside Of
FL Paso. The money situation in the
republic is a drawback for there is no
standard of money and trading on the
fluctuating standard Of money is not
entirely satisfactory either for buyer or
seller.
Comparisons are not always fair
but our business this year is going
to surpass that Of last year and next
years business promises to be better
than this"

CITIES CANNOT TAX
MINING PROPERTIES

Phoenix Ariz., Dec. 5.-NO power is
vested in municipal corporations to tax
mining property within their limits, un-
less that property is used for a purpose
other than mining and has a separate
and Independent value for such other
purposes"
This is the opinion of assistant attOr-
ne. general Leslie c. Hardy, rendered
to the state tax commission. Hardy, S
opinion was asked when Edward j.
Flanagan, city attorney of Blsbee'
wrote the commission claiming that the
municipal authorities of Bisbee have a
right to levy a tax on a parcel OF
ground within the city, owned by the
Copper Queen company. The ground is
already taxed under the state law as
producing mining property.
Hardy holds that since the state mine
tax law provides that no tax shall be
levied upon mines except as provided
in that particular statute, no additional
tax can be levied on the property in
question.

sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region: rheu-

sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-

The moment your back hurts or kid

bOthers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutraliZe the acids in
