Concerning Low "Par Values.

Frequently, says the Utah Mining News, people who invest in Utah min ing stocks want to know why it is that so many companies place low 'par value" on their shares. A correspon- dent writes: 'T own few shares of stock in Utah company that pays a quarterly dividend equivalent to the total par value of the stock. It seems to be good mine and cannot under stand why its value is rated so low. Is there anything the matter?"
 To answer this writer will be to answer many such questions that arise. There is certainly nothing the matter with any company operating in this state because it rests on a low capitali- zation, either in the number of shares or the par value, or both. In Utah there is corporation tax that is based on the par value of company's shares. A company with 1,O00,OOO shares, par POS each, would have to pay on capi- talization of 10000, OO0$; if the par was 10 cents the company would have to pay on capitalization of only 100, ,OOO$, and thus save many thousands of dollars annually. See the point.
 The arbitrarily fixed par value of the shares in corporation has absolutely nothing to do with the intrinsic value of the property which the shares repre- sent. If the par value of shares in the Utah Copper company, to illustrate, was only 10 cents share, it would not alter the fact that the company pay 3$ a share in dividends every year; nor would it make a particle of difference in what you would have to pay for the shares in the market.
 A great many mining companies in Utah have placed their capitalization low for the reason stated, while a large number of older companies, which originally organized with large capi- talization have, during the past few years, reduced their capitalization in order to escape the heavy tax rate and protect their shareholders to that ex- tent. We have many companies in Utah that are capitalized for less money than it required to secure title to their holdings; many for less than the surface equipment cost.

Notice.

Attention is called to the fact that the dumping of tin cans, garbage and other refuse into streets and alleys or onto vacant lots constitutes a misde- meanor.
 Also, since mosquitoes breed only in water all cesspools, barrels and other containers of standing water should be oiled once week through the warm weather. A very little oil each time is sufficient. MOHAVE COUNTY BOARD OF

DISEASE OUTSKIRTS
BULLETS IN THE NAVY
Although There Have Been
Great Reductions In Com.
mon Affections.

Washington. Nov. 12.--In his an
nual report to the Secretary of the
Navy, Surgeon General BREASTED de-
clares that diseases kill more men
than bullets In the navy.
The packing of 1000 men into
space in which theoretically not
more than 300 should be required to
live is given as the primary reason
for the prevalence of disease on bat
tleships of the navy.
According to Surgeon General
BREASTED, despite the military and
naval activities of both sailors and
marines at Vera Cruz, they found
the rigors Of warfare less dangerous
than living conditions on Uncle
Sans big fighting machines.
During the fiscal year ending June
80 there were thirty-eight deaths in
the navy from tuberculosis and thir-
ty-three due to pneumonia. Three
officers were among those who died
Gunshot wounds were responsible
for thirty deaths.
The faults pointed out by Surgeon
General Braisted include overcrowd.
ing, extreme reductions of the
amount of air space per person, inn
proper proportion of moisture. the
inappropriate placing of air inlet
and exits. over or under heating OF
the air. The Surgeon General con.
cedes that these faults are inciden'
to conditions laid down by military
necessity"
Because of the necessity fo-
fighting and cruising efficiency"
Surgeon General Braisted is unable
to report that great Improvement in
living conditions on battleships may
be expected In the near future
The report points to the great re-
duction in such diseases as typhoid |
fever diphtheria. measles am
mumps in recent years. Three years
ago there were 222 cases of typhoid
on the records, while during the last
fiscal year there were only 10 cases

FRANCE BUSY MAKING
MUNITIONS OF WAR

Paris, Nov. 12.--''Every branch OF
the munitions service has been ex-
tended to a formidable extent" said
Minister of Munitions Thomas in an
interview granted Paris newspa-
per. with one or two exceptions
the demands of the commander-in-
chief for all kinds OF shells now are
more than covered. The estimates
of Gen. Joffre, who is especially anx-
ious about shells for the 155-milli-
meter guns, have been exactly met
while his estimates for the 1O5 and
120-millimeter guns have been ex-
ceeded. The number of shells de-
manded for the 'T5's' varies daily,
but on the whole they are being vlr-
tually covered"
One would be greatly surprised,
NJ. Thomas said. If the production
to-day was compared with that of
September. 1914. The same is true
in regard to the output of rifles. ma
chino guns and explosives.
But however intense the recent
Efforts" the Minister OF Munitions
added, they are as nothing to what
will be necessary. More and still
more will be wanted. The success
CT the Champagne offensive was due
to our increased production. but for
D complete and speedy victory the
whole effort of the nation will be
required"
