{ nOrtant relatively are this city and this county in the general business , of the commonwealth, their prepon- derance in business affairs
 From January 1913 to January 1914, a period of within a few days of a year, the resources of the banks, both state and national in Arizona increas- ed from $34,315, ,14134 to 39,4SS, ,2SO.7S. Here. is a gain in banking resources for the twelve months of $5,173, ,13S.44 i and this represents an increase of slightly over 15 per cent in the
 banked and banking resources of the baby state. including capital, undivid- ed profits, deposits and all other re- sources.
 Going back to a shorter period, to the last quarter and using the state | ments issued in October last, for comparison. a gain in resources of $2 2,6S3, ,976.23 is shown on January 13,
 last. This is an increase of 7.3 per cent for the quarter, so that it is seen that nearly half of the remark able gain for 1913 came in the last
 three months of the year.
 While the showing made in bank resources is satisfying, that made by the increase of deposits, thereby the better reflecting the individual pros
 perity of the citizenship of the state, is still more pleasing. Deposits in
 creased in 1913 from $2S,452, ,423.33 to s32 sos. .531.4O Here is cash in crease of $4,455. .90S.17. Thus while : JA posits increased 15.4 per cent. So the general prosperity of the state may be figured, as thus shown, to be 15 per cent greater than a year ago. In the last quarter the increase in deposits was s3,O43, ,917.4O or a gain :, of 1O2 per cent It is doubtful if any state in the union can furnish a statement that will compare favorab- ly with this splendid showing of the growth and attendant prosperity of this state, the youngest of any. Phoenix Banks Lead
 Considerably more than one-fifth of the cash resources of the state are contained in the banks of this city. and these banks lead the state in gains in resources and deposits, just as the capital city leads the rest of the cities of the state in growth of population and business. In 1913 the
 resources of the banks of this city
 increased from SS,O72. 112.55 to SS,944,- 67735 and at the same time deposits increased from $6,71S.606.75 to $7,201,- 93749 Here is shown in the re- sources of the local banks a gain of $S72, ,564.S0 and in deposits a gain of $4S3, ,330.74. The percentage of gain ! in resources is 10.7 per cent or r per cent of all of the gain that is credited to all of the state banks and
 in deposits - per cent, or again comparing with the gains of the en- tire state, Phoenix has furnished 10.S per cent of those gains.
 Again a comparison with the fast statement and that of the previous quarter proves interesting for it shows that in the gains in resources

PHOENIX IS LEADER
 OVER ALL CITIES
Securities for Improvements Are in Active Demand at Home as Well as in the Financial Centers of the East

As a mirror reflecting the general business conditions and the relative prosperity of commonwealth or community, none better can be found than the statement of the resources and the deposits of the banks of that state or that city. By comparison of the last statement with previous statements, there is found an unfail- ing barometer to forecast possible storms, fair weather or brightening conditions. In communities where banking resources and public depos- it's are on the increase there is ever a greater degree of prosperity than where these are shown to be on the decline Recently there were state ments issued and sent to the office of the state auditor, from all of the banks in Arizona and the showing made by d comparison of those state ments with the ones of a year prev iOus and the last proceeding state ments of three months ago gives food for satisfaction to every AriZonian and especially so to the resident of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley
 Other sections of the United States have been complaining of periods of business depression, securities have in many instances felt serious de- cHnes and the money market has in the east generally hardened. It is true that in the past few weeks there has been a distinct easing in the money markets but the compari sons and the figures that will here be given relate to the period before the relaxation of tension had made it's appearance.
 During 1913 the state, the county, the valley and the city have made remarkable progress as these figures will clearly indicate and nowhere is such growth and improvement more evidenced than in Phoenix and Mari cOpa county
 Whole State Prospers
 For the purpose of comparing con ditiOns in Phoenix and the valley with the rest of the state it will be best to first look into the general business of the state as shown by bank state ments Later will be shown how inn

STRANGE DUEL
 IF AMERICANS
Europe Interested in State ment That New Method of Suicide Is To Indulge in Pact Death a la Amer icaine.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ


 BERLIN, Feb. 7.-Sixty-s seven sui years which had been expressly char acterized as due to American duels" have directed attention to this mode of self destruction falsely regarded as an importation from the United States. It is such a strange institu- tion to Americans visiting Germany that they usually require the expla- gamble for life. Two persons involv- ed in a quarrel draw lots to decide which of them shall destroy himself before a given date. For years cases of suicides have been described as due to such games of chance and it has been a widespread belief in Eur ope that quarreling parties often re- sorted to this American duel"
 There is no such thing, according to psychologists who have been study ing the circumstances of numerous suicides so described It appears that the popularity of the term American dueF is due to the fact that dueling is an honorable affair in Germany and persons who for one reason Ol another decide upon self destruction make it point to die "honorably' by ascribing their act to this strange gamble for life Prof. Hans Gross who has studied the subject, believe. that the American duel is altogether romantic invention and doubts tha anyone in Germany ever indulged il 1t.
 Other forms of dueling also falsel! described as American institution

A CENSUS OF
 FARM ANIMALS
Arizona Has Most EXpen- sive Mules ill the United States-This is Thrilling Part of Government Stock Census

The horse census for Arizona, with
 copious notes, deckle edge pages, half morocco binding and the other
 appendices and appurtenances, has
 been compiled and sent to the state
 from which the dope came. There is the same care about getting up a
 census of livestock as there is in
 getting up a census of other folks.
 The department of the interior pre- pares the numbers, and the weather bureau-of all bureaus in the ser vice the most appropriate-prints and distributes the data
 It says in the 1913 edition of the animal census that there are 112,000 horses in this state. That's more
 ca ballOs than most folks believe there are on this earth. There are but six
 thousand mules. Milch cows number I37OOO, other cattle 739000 sheep l.,
 6O1OOO and swine 24,OOO. Similar
 figures for the year 1912, being com
 piled from the census dated on Jan
 uary l, 1913. shows that there have
 been gains in all but other cattle,
 which fell off 39,000. May a mere
 scribe venture to opine that there are very few Arizonans who are eX-
 cited or care much because other
 cattle didn't increase in step with
 the other herds of this glorious state?
 Mules are the most valuable live
 stock what there is. The average
 price of Arizona mules is $144.
 Horses run along about $73 which is
 less than they brought year be- fore. Mules, however, are more costly now than formerly, showing that they are not being raised as fast as they might be. Cows are only worth about $64 in American money: other cattle. range, beef and scrub stuff is only worth $32 q head on the hoof. Sheep are poor folks, assessed at three dollars and sixty cents each. Swine are almost aristo- cratic at $96O head.
 The Arizona horse crop is by far the most valuable of the bred stock, be- ing assessed at eight millions of dol lars. The total mules are worth $S64,- 900; milk producers $2,000,0O0; range stock $24000,000; sheep $5,700,0OO and hogs $230,OOO.
 Hogs, sheep and horses are cheaper this year than last. Horses. sheep and | hogs represent less in total valuation this year than last. and the rest re- present heavier investments.
 Arizona has it's biggest percentage of the United States stock in sheep. This state has 1901 ,000 head, while the rest of the United States has 49,700,0OO. As compared with the rest of the states. Arizona has the most expensive
 mules Mules bring $144 here, and aV- craze only SPA in the other sections. Milch COWS and range cattle in Arizona represent a greater per capita value ! than in the United States as a whole. ! There: now wasn't it worth while ! for the bureau to get all this detail
 out sos it could be written up like this?

The auction sale of personal effects of Colonel Redl the Austrian traitor and spy for Russia who killed him self several months ago. has disclosed some of his operations. A high school boy in Prague bought at the auction three rolls of film. When he reached home he discovered that on one roll of supposedly uneXposed film there was cleverly hidden the photographic copy of secret military order ot the highest importance, signed by the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and ln- tended only for the eyes of the corps commander of Prague and the chlef of the Prague general staff. It was promptly delivered to the army au- | thorities.

The snowfall which covered Berlin to the depth of fifteen inches last month and the cold snap which fol- lowed discouraged the popular idea that German winters were gradually growing milder. The Meteorological office has also established that the idea of milder winters is false. Re cords going back for 200 years show that the average mean temperature and snowfall of the three winter months in Berlin have not changed appreciably in those two centuries. The extreme temperatures for the 60 years from 1850 to 1910 shows a diff ference of only fraction of one degree

German and American scientists are
 to cooperate to discover whether the
 distance between their countries is
 any greater or less than it was fifty years ago. Although it is presumed it was accurately determined, scien- lists agree that the earth is not rigid thing and it's expansion or con- traction might cause variations in distance. Uncertainty on this point has led to an agreement between the German Institute at Potsdam and the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Wash ingtOn to determine anew the exact number of degrees, minutes and sec onds between the two cities. The American scientists will ascertain the distance to HOrta in the Azores and | the Germans will establish that be- 1 tween Horta and Potsdam
