CHAPTER OFFICE
 LOCATED IN PRESCOTT
(From Sundays Daily.)

Prescott Is to be the permanent headquarters of the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress, for the present at least, was the announce ment made yesterday by J. H. Rob inson, the secretary, who has just re- turned from Phoenix.
 Mir. Robinson will shortly initiate very commendable movement, that of collating the mineral products of all sections of the State into a com plete exhibit. This action will afford direct and absolute knowledge of all mineralogical conditions existing in every known district, whether in the stage of production or not.
 Mir. Robinson also stated the first annual meeting of the chapter was highly gratifying to the many attend ing. Important papers were read by mining men of authoritative rating, and that the organization is exercis- ing a useful influence on industrial conditions at large, was manifested by the approval of the first years work. The directors elected for the following year are: J. P. Hodgson, Bisbee; Norman Carmichael, Clifton; A. J. Pickrell, Prescott; T. A. Rior- dan, Flagstaff; O. D. M. Gaddis, King, man; H. A. Clark, Holbrook; L. S.. Gates, Ray; B. Britton Gottsberger, Miami; William McDermott, Tucson; Con O'Keefe, Nogales; J. C. Good win, Tempe; A. S Kimball, Thatcher; D. A. Burke, Bouse.

OLD PECK MINE COMING INTO LIMELIGHT (From Saturday'S DaiIv)

It Is reported that Colorado mining men are making an investigation of the old Peck workings in the Brad shaws with the object of asccrtaining the extent of the tungsten condition, which mas been represented by local mining men as attractive.
 Samples have been brought to this city of the silver ores, and an an- alysis for tungsten is being made in Denver. As was the custom in early days of silver mining, this character of mineral product was not disturb cd, and the low grade silver output was thrown over on the dump. What the outcome of the Peck observations will be is problcmatical, but at any rate it is quite probable if upper workings justify, the lower levels to the 600 will be pumped and cxamina- tions will follow. Several carly-day miners maintain this famed silver bonanza, like the Tiptop, has good values in tungsten, the latest quota tions giving this mineral valuation of $6 per pound for 76 per cent grade of concentrates, and with all unlimited market

CHINESE CLOTHES TO
 UNDERGO A CHANGE

PEKING, Dec. 10-Chinesc dress makers, nilliners and tailors are all ill a furry over the announcement that under the prospective monarchy fashions will be quite unlike those oi the republic. So sure are the govern ment officials of the result of the coming elections that the bureau oi rites has been instructed to prepare regulations for the etiquette of the monarchy. Under the republic the customs and rules of conduct were wholly unlike those which prevailed in imperial China. Specific rcgula- tionS were drawn up as to the height of the stovepipe hats which men were to wear on State occasions. The old Prince Albert coat, which European capitals nave long ago discarded, was elevated to place of distinction. In warm weather distinguished gentle men calling upon the president were permitted to wear a Prince Albert of unlined alpaca
 Practically every detail of the cos tunes which members of parliament must wear was fixed by mandate, and there was great confusion when the Chinese officials found it was neces- sary to shelve their native garb and initiate the dress of western nations.
 President Yuan Shi Kai has inti- mated that there will be no restora- ton of the gorgeous attire assumed under the Manchu regime, but it is generally believed that the new mon archy will not adhere to the strictly severe toilet of the republic.

CREDIT RATING BOOK
 TO BE PUBLISHED
(From Sundays daiiy.)

Plans have about been perfected and carried out for the Prescott busi- ness mems credit rating book wnich it is expected will be completed and printed little after the first of the year.
 Secretary Aaron Powers of the Prescott Business Mems Association was instructed at the organizations meeting last Friday night to go ahead and issue the book.
 -Four thousand names of Prescott people and just how they stand with the merchants ill the city will be 'isted and the business man when a customer comes into his store and ,sks for credit can turn to his book md see just how good risk the per son asking credit really is.
 Nineteen firms i'll the city have al -eady filled out their cards telling low they value their different pat -on's word. From the statistics gath red from the 19 firms and 13 more which will have their reports ill about January 1, 1916, the credit rating book will be compiled. The book will give the rating from excellent to lemand cash and it is believed that it will prove very valuable to the busi- less men of the city.
 To stop the merchants from spend- .ng money on advertising that brings 10 results President A. w. Edwards of the Bashford Burmistcr Company was instructed to appoint a secret committee on advertising. The con- mittee is to form a resolution which S to be printed on cards and distrib- 1ted to the merchants advising them what kind of advertising pays and what kind is to be boycotted by the organization. Transient advertising schemes are the ones which will be prohibited by the organization as it has been found they bring very few results, if any.
 Officers for the organization for l9l6 will be elected at the next meet ing in January.
