NOTHING BUT AN AMERICAN

When I look back on the shifting
 scenes of my life, if l am not that al together deplorable creature, man
 without a country, l am, when 1t comes to pull and prestige, almost equally bereft as l am a man without a state. I was born in Indiana, 1 grew up in Illinois, I was educated in Rhode Island-and it is no blame to that scholarly. community that l know SO little. I learned my law in Springfield and my politics in Wash ington, my diplomacy in Europe, Asia and Africa. I have a farm in New Hampshire and desk room in the District of Columbia.
 When 1 look to the springs from which my blood descends, the first an cestors I ever heard of were a Scotch man who was half English, and a Ger man woman, who was half French. Or my immediate progenitors, my mother was from New England and my father was from the South. In this beWil- derment of origin and experience I can only put on an aspect of deep humility in any gathering of favorite sons and confess that am nothing but an American-From Life and Letters of John Hay

Calumet and Arizona

The strength of the Calumet and Arizona in the market is due to a growing realization of the present and prospective value of the property and the probability of increased divi- dends. In the Bisbee district, Calu- met and Arizona owns 1899 acres, opened by eight shafts, compared to Shattuck and Arizona's 12O acres and one shaft. Shattuck has 35O.0O0 shares and Calumet and Arizona 617. 900

There is no question about the effectiveness of the powder for the purposes advertised. for it is meeting with a very ready sale, and which no doubt will be increased as its usefulness is demonstrated and becomes known. It is manufactured and put up in neat looking cans by the Arizona Mining and Mineral Pol ishing company of this city. Here is surely an excellent chance for our housewives to use home products.

You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw if through your hair, taking a strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy. soft and

Raw Consolidate

The report of the Ray Consolidated Copper Co. for the quarter ended September 30.
 President sherwood Aldrich says
 In addition to copper derived from concentrating ores there was total of 450,966 pounds of copper contained in ores shipped direct to the smelter. This combined with the copper con- bined with the copper contained Tn the concentrates, brings the total gross production for the quarter up to 15.3S2.35 pounds.
 The total amount of ore milled for the quarter was 716.211 dry tons averaging 1859 per cent copper as compared with 67S.O004 dry tons averaging 1.677 per cent for the pre- vious quarter. This tonnage core spends to a daily average of 7,7S3 tons as compared with 7,462 tons for the previous quarter
 The milling costs for the quarter
Arizona republican., 1915-11-21

were 5654 cents per ton as com pared with 44.53 cents for the pre- vious quarter.
 The average mining and coarse crushing cost of ores milled for the quarter was 7O.S35 cents per ton of which 4.279 cents was the cost of | coarse crushing, leaving a net mining cost of 66,556 cents per ton. The underground development for the quarter was 12,205 feet, making the total development to date 482,047 feet.
 The average cost per pound of net copper produced from milling ores for the quarter, after allowing for shelter losses and applying dividends of the Ray t& Gila Valley railroad and revenues from gold and silver pro duced but no other miscellaneous in come, as a credit to costs, was 10.2G4 cents. The combined cost per pound of net copper produced from milling
 ore and direct shipping ore for the
 quarter was 1O,294 cents. These costs
 include all operating and general
 charges as well as 1922 cents per
 ton of ore milled which is applied tC
 the retiremeint of mine development
 costs This latter charge is equal
 to .621 cents per pound of net copper
 produced from concentrating ores for
 the period If all miscellaneous in
 come were credited as a reduction of
 costs, the per pound cost of net cop
 per produced during the quarter
 would be 10199 cents.
 These earnings for the third quar-
 ter are based on a price of 15.709 cents per pound for copper as com pared to 1S.635 cents for the second quarter. All unsold copper on hand and in transit is carried on the in ventory at II cents per pound.
 The seventh quarterly dividend was paid on September 30. 1915, amounting to $547,SO1, making thel total dividends dsbursed to date s3.S15,662.
 The capital stock outstanding on the day the last dividend was de- cIared was 1.46OSO4 shares and there were $2370,000 par value of bonds outstanding at the end of the third quarter.
 The unit cost and earnings were affected during the quarter | by labor disturbances among certain classes of the employees. These diff | ferences were fully and satisfactorily l overcome by the middle of July, but our organization did not regain it's l former efficiency for some little time 
 In addition to the labor difficulties we have been making extensive inn at the reduction plant These have disturbed operations in that the workings of certain sections of the mill have of necessity been D- terrupted while alterations were in progress However, the price of cop per during the quarter has been such that it has been more profitable to treat approximately a normal ton mage per day by increasing the load m sections available even at some sacrifice in metal recoveries.

Mineral Exhit at the State Fair

Mineral Exhit at the State Fair
 For the last three years we have given an extensive notice of the ful! exhibit of minerals. But the collection is growing so large and especially this years additions that the particu- lar mention of the latter will have to suffice and eseecially so as they are really a valuable and interesting ex- hibit in themselves.
 The exhibit is still in the hands and under the direction and arrange ment of MT. James Goodwin, who eX- eTcises the same attentive and untir- ing energy in collecting and assem- bling the donated specimens. In fact II would be difficult to realize the effectiveness of the exhibit without the personal presence and devotion of Mr. Goodwin.
 It has become my custom each year to reflect the regrettable fact, that tEis wonderfully beautiful, valuable, instructive and educative exhibit can only be be viewed one week in the year.
 T. certainly ought to be housed in some suitable building near the cen ter of the city. where it could be seen and enjoyed every day in the year It would certainly be an excellent ad- vertisement for every mine prospect and district that supplies its ores toI the collection.
 The most notable additions are those of the Copper Queen case in the center of the building. The addi- ton has created a encouragement of the case, much to its improved ap- pearance and effectiveness. Although not so attractive in appearance as the copper ores, a very noticeable specimen is of lead carbonate ore This class of ore was the first mined in the Warren district and before the mining of any copper ore. The ore is the usual yellow cOlorei. with l cefrusite crystals. This ore runs in ] value: Gold $50, silver IS ounces and from % to 70 per cent lead. There are attractive slabs of mala-

Ajo was carried out systematically, as follows:
 Seventy acres of land was laid off in regular 200 foot squares and S4 diamond drill holes were put down on the corners of these squares. These bores yielded ores and cut tings; the latter showed the geologi- cal and petrographical nature of the rock and the former were assayed. Samples were taken every five feet and total of $500 were taken. Be sides the drilling of 23,097 feet, about 4,00O feet of test pit work was done, which also was sampled every five feet, making 500 samples more. The pits were put down on the same CO., ordinate points as the drill holes in order to check the accuracy of the drill samples. Nothing was left to chance; 11.105 samples were taken altogether to prove the value of the ore body. In the 70 acres drilled an ore body covering 61 acres was found varying from 1,500 to 2,000 feet long, $50 to 1,50O feet wide and 12O feet and over in depth.

ID COME BEFORE
 THE GRAND JURY
Accused Prisoner Threatens commis-
 2 sioner Adams With Violence During Hearing.

Deputy U. s. Marshal Sam Bright well, of Cordova. arrived on the Mar iposa yesterday, bringing Red Lewis and Bob Baney, bound over to the grand jury by Commissioner A. J. Ad- ans, of Cordova, on the charge of larceny.
 The men are accused of robbing Magnus Edgren. foreman of the Jum- bo mine, while the latter was guest at the Rainier-Grand hotel in Cor dova. Edgren was awakened during the night and saw two men going through his pockets. They fled from the room, taking $8O.OO in cash and gold watch chain. When complaint was made to the manager of the house he caused the arrests of Lewis and Baney. He had caught them coming downstairs a few minutes before and had ordered them from the house.
 The men were given a hearing be- fore Commissioner Adams and Lew is was bound over under $500 bail and Baney $500. Lewis is one of the four men who recently beat their way on the steamer from Juneau to Cordova. He is reported to be tough man and had previously been arrested for steal ing but was acquitted. During the hearing in Cordova Lewis asked for jury trial and when Commissioner Adams refused he became abusive and declared that Adams was running a kangaroo court and that he was tempted to smash him over the head with a chair. The abuse was allow ed to pass with only reprimand from the commissioner.
 Bob Baney is the buck and wing dancer who recently entertained the people of Valdez. He came here from interior Alaska, claiming to have come from Ruby.

MARKEM HAD A ROUGH EXPERIENCE
kataIIa Queen Blown Out To Sea While On Trip To Middleton Is.
 Iand-Lands At Seward.

Tim Markem, the well-known Val dez resident and owner of the Mid tleton Island fox farm, is believed to be coming along the coast in his launch, Katalla Queen, from Seward, and is due to arrive back in Valdez at any time.
 Markem left Valdez about two weeks ago to make the trip to Mid. dleton Island and was blown out of his course and for two days and nights battled with the waves. The Katalla Queen is staunch little craft and Markem was finally able to reach Seward, having been car ried to the westward.
 The report does not state if the mishap occurred while on the out bound trip or while returning from Middleton Island to Valdez. If he had not visited the island before fetching up at Seward he will prob ably finish his trip of inspection to the farm before returning to Valdez

MT. w. N. Cuddy, who recently ar rived in Valdez, has accepted the man. agement of the Valdez Mercantile Company's store. He believes that Alaska is due for general awaken ing during the next few years beyond anything anticipated even by the most optimistic Alaskans. MT. Cuddy states that partly owing to business depres- sion in the states and the desire ot Americans to take part in the develop ment of new countries that every body in the states, especially the western portion, are looking to Alas ka.
 MT. Cuddy is an experienced busi. ness man and for a number of years was connected with the Rhodes Bros big store in Tacoma, and later in busi- ness for himself in Seattle. He states that he has extensive plans and new ideas which he will use in building up the business of his com pany here, but realizes that they can not all be worked out in day. His experience will enable him to cater successfully to the needs of Alaskans.
