statement that the only way to ac- complish results is by the lavish use of ammunition, and all of them are calling on their governments to increase the output of shot and shell. This con- dition of things cannot be interpreted as meaning anything else than con- tinuing growth of copper consumption.
 Though the refinery output from now on will be somewhat larger, the actual supply available for sale will not be materially greater than it was three to six months ago, when, in addition to a 50 or 60 per cent. volume of mine pro- duction, between 300, ,0OO,0 and 40O,- 900, 900 pounds of accumulated supplies were being marketed. At present the stocks of copper in hand are down to the irreducible minimum and it is known that some of the large pur- chasers who have come into the market recently to obtain big tonnages for inn mediate delivery have been obliged to content themselves with contracts for delivery in the early fall.
 There is not single factor in the situation to indicate anything else than coming higher prices. If the European war continues for six months or year longer it is not improbable that copper will sell at 30 cents pound. Boston Commercial.

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

Copper continues very strong and g large volume of business has been transacted during the past two weeks. Lake is selling all the way from 20 1-2 to 25 cents, depending upon the popu- larity of the various brands for cart ridge shell and other ammunition pur- poses, and electrolytic appears to be well established now at 20 l-2 cents a pound. A slight lull in the buying is reported to have occurred this waek; but producers and selling agencies re- port that they are still overwhelmed with inquiries and that there is a good prospect that the demand will receive a fresh start in the near future.
 Of course the high prices now pre- vailing will cooperate with the general business stagnation to cause the pur- chase of copper for industrial uses to be deferred. After the war ends not only will Germany and Austria be ob- liged to come into the market and re- plenish their depleted supplies, but there will also be a pressing demand for the metal from every other country in the world for replacement, recon struction and new work. There is every prospect, therefore, that relative ly high prices will continue to be paid for copper for many years to come.
 At the present time the all-important factor in the market is the war demand and the indications are that this will continue to grow in volume. Great Britain is spending 15,OOO, OOO$ daily and the expenses of the other countries involved are proportionately high. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, to every one of them that the fighting be forced and decisive results obtained at the earliest possible date. Practi- cally every one of the military and naval leaders is on record with the

The management plans complete re- modelling of it's mill patterns after section six which was changed over about two years ago. With improve ments installed in that unit and subse- quent betterments made, larger ton mage of ore can be milled and a greater extraction of copper secured. Costs have been lowered to about 8.O4 cents a pound in several months this year. An Scent cost on 5O,000,OOO pounds of copper is in contemplation. Quick assets at the moment approximate l,- 400, 000$. Boston Commercial.

To the Public.

We would call the attention of the public to the fact that the real boosters among the business men of this county advertise in the MINER. The MINER is the real booster of the mining interests, as we'll as every other tangible interest of the county. The boosting business man and the boosting newspaper de- serve your whole business. The busi- ness man who fails to maintain a news paper that is now and has been work ing for the upbuilding of the county and protecting the mining interests of every section, is not deserving of your patronage. Look the paper over and note who are the real live business men of Mohave county.

Arabian Mine Bonded.

This week final details of the bonding of the Arabian mines, at Union Pass, was completed and that property will soon be under operation. A mining en- gineer made thorough examination of the mines the past month and the pros- pective purchaser is thoroughly satis- w. L. Layne, of Casa Granda, Arizona, is the purchaser of the property, the selling company being the Arabian Con. Mines company. The stock of this company is held by Eli Hilty, Robert Brannock, John M. Ross, T. G. Norris and A. w. Edwards. MT. Brannock also owns adjoining property that is to go into the deal. It is understood that the price to be paid for the mines is in the neighborhood of 15O,OOO$.
 Something over year ago the Mines Company of America had an option on the property and did considerable work under this option, but the company later relinquished their rights, although the engineers advised going on with the work. It is understood that one of the engineers was so sure of the good qualities of the mine that he put the property up to the present purchaser. While MT. Layne is the main figure in the purchase of the mine it is under stood that the real parties in interest are members of the Mines Company of America, who were dissatisfied with the loss of the option by that company.
 The mines lie about twenty miles west of Kingman and are ideally situat- ed for economic working, being but six miles from the Colorado river, where a large milling plant may be erected and where plenty of dump room may be had for tailings without interfering with other property owners. The mines carry large values in gold, the vein of more than thirty-fve feet giving better than 15$ across it's whole width, while there are many small stringers in the other parts of the vein that run into the hundreds. Especially is this so on the property of Robert Brannock, where some very rich ore was opened. MT. Brannock has been getting a small milling plant in shape on the property to handle this ore.

Miami Copper.

The Miami Copper company produced approximately 3,6OO,O pounds of cop per during May. This was the largest yield yet turned out by the company in a single month, and compares with B.

What to Do When Camping or Where
 JeweIer Can't Be Found.
 What to do with water s@ked watch is often problem when one IS caught in the wilderness, or in com mupity where no jeweler is to be found. Lack of knowing what steps to take often results in much expense, if not in the utter ruin of the watch.
 Watches made with both screw face and screw back may be dried easily by removing the front and back. emptying the watch of as much water as will run out. reversing the crystal. screwing it on the back of the watch and then laying it where the sun will have a chance to reflect through the crystal. .,.
 The heat of the sun on the crystal will draw the moisture from the works in fifteen or twenty minutes. If water still remains in the works, the crystal may be unscrewed. wiped and replaced and the process repeated.
 After the sun fails to draw any more of the water out on. to the glass it is safe to'conclude that there is no more in the works, and the oil originally on them. warmed by the sun. lubricates the parts.
 There should be no more trouble with the watch. although it is advisable to have it examined by jeweler at the earliest opportunity-Technical World.

They Appear GIaring Because of the

 tHhe capacity of some people for de- tecting errors' in the newspapers is marvellous. Also it Is singular how many unexpected meanings the people can find.
 If the reporter writes that a man wore a coat of such and such a char acter some one may call up and ask if the coat was all the man had on? To satisfy these literalists you must cnumerate item by item the other arti- cles of attire or they will accuse you of making the victim appear half naked
 The reader Who digests his paper on the quiet in his home feels that he has shown great brilliancy if he detects an error in grammar or capitaliza tion. It is one thing to find mistakes at your leisure in another mans work. quite another to turn out high degree of accuracy and precision ill the haste of newspaper composition.
 The banker makes blunders in his figures. the lawyer draws up incorrect papers. and the business man submits erron>. ous bills. Such blunders are known only to the few persons whom they concern. The newspaper is like the actor on the stage. whose slightest slip is manifest to all and seems ridicu. lous.-Iowa City Republican.

"Accordinq to Hoyle."

The first author of books dealing with card games was Edmund Hoyle. who died in London. aged ninety-seven. in ITO. His treatises on whist, piquet and other games are still authorities. and "According to Hoyle" has become Il proverb. Hoyle has been called the inventor of whist. which is an error. although he was the first to popularize the game and place it on scientific and exact footing. Hoyle was lawyer by profession. but he derived a good in come from his books. For his treatise on whist he received $5.O0O. and the work was so popular that it ran through five editions the first year. be- sides many pirated editions. Hoyle gave instructions in whist to parties of ladies and gentlemen. charging each $5 per lesson. For some years he held an official court position in Ireland which paid him $3OO0 per year. Hoyle's book on whist was first pub lished in 1743.

WHY GERMANY YIELDED
 TO PRESIDENT WILSON

The Frankfurter Zeitung, com menting on the action of the German government in making consesslons to the United States, which aroused much interest in Germany, suggests that Count Bernstorff's assurances given to Secretary Lansing were in tended to cover only passenger ships in the strict sense of the word, ana not ships containing passengers ana munition shipments.
 elf the Imperial Government mas declared itself ready to enter nego- tiations with Washington, and even to make concessions to the Unlteo States" it says, "it is certainly not Tn order to express our thanks for thelr attitude during the past year to the Americans who have equipped our enemies with all sorts of arms ana war material, and are now to arrange for the foes of our country, TOT the financing of this war, a loan that IS to amount to billions of marks; put it happened because our sole aim Tn this war is to win the victory and to travel unsweE6ingly the path that leads to tl4Ey{ {esul1:

Should we have done our opponents the favor Of en- dangerihg the dramatic conclusion on the Balkans at the last moment by cheap joy in harsh note to the American government? And does It not cause many one to think that the question of passenger steamers IS not the only one that is held in sus- nense in Washington? If negotia- tions are being conducted concerning loans, cotton, and other things at the same time as concerning those pas senger ships, then there is many reason to assume that it would be one-sided merely to speak about Ger man concessions
