BIG INCREASE.

The assessed valuation of Ari- zona railroads for 1915 is $91, O41, ,472.7O, and mileage 2,286, an an increase over 1914.
 The assessed valuation for 1914 was $7O, ,2O4, 4O3. 50 and mil cage 2,243.
 The increased is due to two new railroads being built within the past year, the increase amounting to 45 miles.
 The two roads constructed were the Mascot and Western, fifteen miles long and extends from Wilcox to the Mascot mine, while the Magma road runs from Superior to Webster Siding on the Arizona Eastern near Flor ence.
 Not only have two new roads been constructed since the tax commission compiled the figures for 1914 assessed valuation, but announcement has been made of the construction soon of the new Ajo railroad 45 miles in length.
 Cochise still shows the great est railroad assessed valuation of any of the counties.-Court- land Arizona

Mines Increasing Output in Arizona.

In Arizona the majority of copper mines were affected by the European war, and curtail- many large producers. All of the copper smelters operated at reduced capacity, and one of the plants at Clifton closed until March, 1915.
 V. c. Heikes of the United States Geological Survey now reports corditionS improving and all copper plants brought to full capacity with two new smelters blown in during May. One of these, the Clarkdale, shelter, wilE possibly eventually take the place of the old shelter at Jer- ome for the treatment of United Verde ores. While the new In- ternational shelter at Miami is built primarily for Inspiration mine concentrate tes, it is likely to be in the market for outside product. By this new addition the copper output may be in creased slightly but will pro- bably not exceed the record fig ures of 1913, when 4O7, 1928, 4O2 pounds of copper were produced. Gold production increased in 1914 over 1913, and, according to all reports, is promising to exceed either year in 1915, chief ly from mines situated in the San Francisco district of Mo have county. The chief pro- ducer in the district in 1914 was the Tom Reed mine, which yielded gold bullion valued at $1 ,OO2, 4O6. Developments have disclosed in new territory ad- jacent to the Tom Reed mine gold ore of similar character at depth of 300 feet. This dis covery has stimulated mining to a large extent.
 Silver has it's source chiefly in the copper ores, but the output may be increased during 1915 by the new work on the Tomb stone mines and the increased production of the Commonwealth silver mine at Pearce.
 The high price of zinc has stimulated the production of zinc in many parts of Arizona, chiefly in Mohave county, but producers without contracts for the sale of the product meet with very little encouragement from the zinc buyers. No great | increase in zinc or lead is eX- pected in 1915 over other years. Blade Tribune.

Flux Shipping Concentrates.

The Sterling Borax Company, which is operating the Flux Group under lease and bond from Col. R. R. Richardson, be- gan the shipment of concentrates from the new mill this week. The dry method of concentrating is used and is undoubtedly great success, and it is pleasing to see this company repaid for it's faith in the new process.
 The mill is producing over 25 tons of concentrates daily a car load shipment being made every other day. The shipments will be increased when the mill is worked to it's full capacity.
 The Bierce brothers and Joe Collie are to be congratulated on the success attained at the Flux mine.-Santa Cruz Patagonian.

CHANGE IN LAW.

The new mining law is now in effect and it is expected that it will stimulate the industry throughout southern Arizona. The new law provides that min ing property owners who lease their claims can not be held re- sponsible for debts of the leaSerS if notices to that effect are post ed at the collar of the shafts or other conspicious places at the mines and are recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the mine is located. The new law removes the danger of mine being put under lien through the failure of leaser to pay his debts for help or supplies Citizen

ARIZONA MINE VALUATION
Increase of Eleven Millions in Assess
 ment of Products for 1915.

The assessed valuation of the producing mines of Arizona has been announced by the state tax commission as S121. .225,- 833.75, an increase of $11 ,OOO, ,OOO or ten per cent over the 1914 assessment. Improvements and mining machinery are valued at almost $34. 100000, or an in crease of approximately S3, 800, GOO over last year.
 The total valuation of mines, improvements and machinery amounts to $155, 131, ,656. 49 In cluded in this amount, however, is more than three millions of productive mining property which was assessed non pro- ductive last year, so that the in crease over the 1914 total is a little less than ten per cent.
 Among the important increases in valuation over last years as sessment is that of the Superior & Pittsburg Copper company, which was raised from $14, 951,- 795 to S2O, 551 ,67O, and of the Copper Queen Consolidated, which was increased $3, ,OOO, ,OOO over the 1914 assessment. An other feature of the valuation this year is the transfer of the Inspiration Consolidated from the non producing class to that of a producing property. Nine important properties in all changed from non producing mines to producers, and are assessed as such by the com mission.
 The commissions valuation of the mines this year is based on the average earnings for the last three years as shown in the companies reports, reconciled with the physical valuation on January 1, 1915. The personal property was appraised by the county assessors, assisted by members of the commission.

BECOMING SERIOUS.

Mack Davis of Fucker canyon, while calling at the Arizonan of fee this week, in speaking of the grasshoppers that are so plentiful this season, stated that J. A. Stone of his section is au- thority for the assertion that the hoppers are now attacking the jackrab bbits, lighting on and making a meal from their ears. It seems that the rabbits are unable to rid themselves of their tormentors until they sometimes start in a furious cross country race when their speed becomes so great that the hopperS lose their breath and fall off. This suggested to him the idea that the country might be cleared of rabbits and many hoppers by the simple process of catching the rabbits, smearing their ears with sticky fly paper dope and then turn them loose. As he could not lose the hoppers as usual, in desperate efforts would run himself to death and the hoppers, being so long without their breath, would not revive. Patent on this has not been ap- piled for but will be as soon as proven practical. = Courtland Arizonan.

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY n Stomach Specialist.

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in THE study and treatment OF
stomach troubles l have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble; that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in the stomach, ag-
gravated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining Of the
stomach and food fermentation causes
wind which distends the stomach alb
normally. causing that full bloated feel
ing. Thus both acid and fermentation
interfere with and retard the process
Of digestion. The stomach is usually
healthy and normal, but irritated al.
most past endurance by these foreign
elements-acid and wind. In all such
cases-and they comprise over 80 Der
cent of all stomach diffieulties-the first
and only step necessary is to neutralize
The acid and stop the fermentation by
taking In a little warm or cold water
Immediately after eating, from one to
two teaspoonfuls of bisurated magnesia,
which Is doubtless the best and only
really effective antacid and food correc-
tive known. The acid will be neutralized

OLD LINEN SOUGHT
FOR WOUNDED MEN
American Women Appeal for
Cloth to Make Bandages for
Soldiers of Europe.

More old linen from which to mako
bandages for the wounded soldiers OF
Europe is being sought by the surgical
dressings committee, organized for that
purpose and Mrs Archibald Hopkins.
chairman of the District Of Columbia
section of the Women's Department OF
the National Civic Federation, has ap-
pealed for gifts of cloth or money to
supply the need.
Miss Anne Morgan is chairman OF the
committee which has it's headquarters
at 80 West Thirty-eighth street, New
York City. and Mrs. Hopkins has asked
that contributions DO sent direct to
that address. During the first six
months of the war. more than two
millions of bandages were shipped TO
Europe. but the need for them Is In
creaslng more rapidly that the supply.
Old sheets and linen clothing make ex-
cellent bandages when torn into strips
Of the proper width and sterilized.
An announcement sent out by Miss
Morgan reads as follows:
"War-stricken Europe Is now frantic
for surgical dressings, and the chair
man begs for more material, and for
more volunteers to help the COMMITTEES
in it's efforts to relieve suffering hu-
manity. Public spirited men and women
are urged to organize without de-
lay in every village and city through
out the United States for the making
of surgical dressings. This work will
continue as long as the war lasts and
the committee will need the same gene
rous support in the future as 1t has re-
ccived in the past"

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
FOR AERO SQUADRONS
War and Navy Department
Plans Announced Through
Aero Club Of America.

Details of the War and Navy de-
partments' plans for the eventual or
sanization OF fifteen aviation squad
rons for the National Guard of the
States and twenty-five squadrons for
the Naval Militia have been made
known by the Aero Club of America.
The club for three months has been
conducting a campaign to create IN
terest in aeronautics and to develop
aviation corps for the National Guard
and Naval Militia. 30 as to form n
substantial aeronautical reserve.
Offers are made by the Navy De-
partment to loan aeroplanes to the
Naval Militia and the realization OF
the plan to train corps in aviation
now depends almost entirely on how
quickly the Aero Club of America
and its affiliated organizations get
volunteers for the corps.
The Navy Department also offers to
train the officers and men of the naval
militia enrolled in aeronautic duty, ano
ufEes that the officers and men be sent
to On aeronautic station or ship Tor
training. They will receive the regular
training in naval tactics and olsclpHne
at the same time.
The War Department plans to main
tain aero squadrons of organized mill
tia in New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois,
and Texas. This number, the authori-
ties urge, should eventually be increased
to one for each tactical division. fifteen
in all. An aero squadron consists OF
twenty-one officers and n!nety-three en-
listed men. operating eight aeroplanes.
Volunteers-men with knowledge of
aeroplanes or gas engines and electrl-
clans with knowledge of radio as ap-
piled to aeroplanes--are urgently needed
to mako tho realization of all these
plans possible and to form the corps.
