Ajax RropertY

This property. about 20 miles from Florence and miles from Superior and about miles from the Reyrnart mine has again been bonded to eastern par ties. The property has produced some rlch lead silver ores on the surface and has some zinc contents in asso- clation with the ores. Frank Benedict had the last option upon the property anu to all accounts opened up some very good ground. But on account of an thrush of water and an inadequate machinery to handle same, he aban- doned the property. The property is apparently meritorious and ought to make good if developed in a practical and systematic manner

Old Planet Mine

This property on Billy Williams Fork is stated to have changed hands. The property is an old one and includes over 100 claims. During the early six ties and especially during the period of the civil war, quantities of high grade copper ore was hauled down Billy Will Hams Fork to Aubrey Landing at the confluence of the Fork with the Colo rado river. it was barged down to the Gulf of California and there transferred to ocean going steamers and shipped to Swansea, Wales. for treatment. over twenty-five years ago I uncovered a small pile of this ore which was. all grown over with grass and weeds, and collected ten sacks of it. The ore brought in silver and copper values over S3GO per ton.
 Tho property has been worked inter- mittenly for the last 90 years. We hope now, it has entered upon d new era of continued development

The Silver Situation

An authority in silver when asked yesterday to explain the present sit nation. said:
 Never in my experience have I seen such enormous buying of the white metal in this country as at present Manufacturers are purchas sur the metal in larger quantities than has Ieen seen in years. and in addition the purchases by China di- rect and by the Cuban government have been substantial Now the United States government has start cd buying. with the result. as l said before. that the demand is large. This taken in connection with the fact that production has been cur tailed in this country and the shut ting down of silver mines in Mexico, naturally would make the casual ob- server look for higher prices. How ever. London makes the quotation for silver and all business placed on this side Of the ocean is based on the level cabled from the English center.
 England has been taking a com parutively small amount of silver from us during the last year or so. Tn normal times our shipments to London average about 1.250,0OO ozs.
 
 ward movement is not more than .5". n0o ozS. weekly. This can he eX- plained by the fact that India has been practically cut of the English market. whereas heretofore that coun- try took approximately four-fifths of the metal shipped to London. Then aSain. exchange in the Far East, which k on silver basis. has some thing to do with the situation. remember at one time when silver accumulated in London up to 10.- ore.oa0 ozs-. and despite this. the price advanced steadily. whereas now that the stocks of the metal in Eng lnnd are not large. the market has been declining periodically.
 T do not look for further cuts in tte price and would not be surprised to see some stiffening up if the pUr- chases by this government and by China direct for shipment via Sar Francisco continue. Cuba will be a good customer from time to time and the manufacturers in this country. il their present attitude is taken into consideration. are confident of the flu.

UNITED VERDE EXTENSION
Management Expects to Reach Ore Body in 110O-Food Drift Within
 Few Days

The mana cement of the United Verde extension expects to reach the ore body Tn the 1100-foot drift within a wey days. About ono third of the ore be- tween the 1900 and 11OO-foot levels has 9een stoped out. The ore body is be- ieVed ;o continue some distance above the 11O0-foot level. Another month should bring the drift on the I40O- foot level to the ere body and the manage nent believes there is no doubt but that the ore will be found there.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEN HAIR
She made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color
 oIoss thickness

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked ana faded hair beautifully dark and luXuri- ant. remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way IS to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While -wispy. gray. faded hair is not sinful. we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell. because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw thls through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an other application or two, your halr becomes beautifully dark, glossy, sort and luxuriant.

Copper and Spelter

Brass is made up of two parts cop per and one part spelter. Therefore the rise in the price of spelter from 5c to 20c added as much to the cost of brass shells as the advance in cop per from 121a to 20 cents.
 Buyers are now waging a war against prices of both metals. aided by the difficulties foreigners have to overcome in financing their purchases, and by the fact that American plants, unfitted for the manufacture of ann intuition, have been delayed in get ting into shape to fill the war orders for which they had shastened to buy the necessary metals.
 No one can doubt that when the allies have made necessary financial arrangements, and. these numerous plants are in full swing, with our own nation entering the market as a buyer of war supplies, that ar enormous demand for copper and spelter will appear

 Farming without irrigation is going to be greater industry every year Even in some sections of the South where there is water, but not suffici- ent to rely on it with security, dry farming is going to win in favor.

Formerly migratory waterfowl ire quented the United States in enor- nous numbers, and the supply ap- D? ared; to be ineXlia lstible, says a statement just issued by the federal department of agriculture. :: :" Ii
 During the last >1o years, however. the growth of population and the vast increase in the humber of hunters, coinDined with greatly improved fire- arms and an extraordlnary increase in the facilities for rapid transporta:- ,tion to the most remote haunts of twi4d life, have resulted, in an appali- ing. reduction in 3tAeir numbers, ::
 pSlt is believed to bs a conservative estimate that the. gross number of migratory game birds of all kinds eX- istlngs today.ih the United States tioes not exceed lO Der cent of the faullllfel which existed here 75 years ago. The decrease has been especially rapid during the last 9 years. During this period some species have become eA- tinct, while others are nearly 50,
 Thoughtful spoTtsmen and others interested ill our wild life have long
 realized the impossibility Of saving what was left Of this great national asset by state action. 1he rapid pro-
 sress of our waterfowl toward eX- junction under state laws was too obvious. To save the dwindling rent nant. in 1913 the federal migratory bird law was enacted. The law has now been in effect about two years and an extended inquiry has been made by the biological survey as to its effect on migratory game blfds. A large number of reports rom state and federal game officials ana private individuals in nearly all or the states of the union have been re-. ceived. The renlies from q small number of states have heen doubtful, usually owing to q lack Of depnl&e information on the subject.
