MORE WHISKEY PRODUCED
 DESPITE PROHIBITION

Washington, May 8.-Notwithstand- ing the fact that prohibition laws have become effective in seven states since July l, 1915, approximately 7,500,000 gallons more whiskey has been pro- duced in the United States so far dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30 than ever before. Returns to the Internal Revenue Bureau approximate the total increase for the year at 10,- 100000 gallons.
 During the same period the produc- tion of beer has fallen more than 100000 barrels, or 45.OOO,OOO gal Ions from last years figures. The total production of beer for year end ing June 30, it is estimated, will be about 60,000,OO0 gallons less than it was in the last fiscal year.
 An e--t-a ordinary increase in the amount of cigars, cigarettes and to- hacco is reported Tor the current year TGe tax collected during the nine months ending March 31 shows an incre 7se of app -oximately $5,000,000 on tobacco.

THE METAL MARKET

Copper is very strong and prices are still showing an advancing tendency for deliveryq this month and next, lake and electrolytic now command 31 to 31 1-2 cents. July and August copper is selling at 2S 3-4 to 29 cents pound. The amount of copper available for de livery earlier than October or Noyem- Der, and not already sold, is very small. The demand, however, con- tinues strong. Both domestic and foreign consumers are in the market every day, and it is now rumored that one of the European governments is negotiating for the purchase of 100000, 900 pounds more copper for deliveries beginning in July and extending through to the end of the year. The present price of electrolytic copper in London, 9154, is equivalent to 32 1-2 cents pound.
 Notwithstanding the high price at which copper is selling, domestic de- mand for industrial uses appears to be very large The wire mills are run ming approximately full time and there | is little if any disposition shown to substitute cheaper materials in the | fields where copper is commonly used |. Of course the war demand is just | as strong as 1t has been at any tune previous. A factor in this connection which should not be overlooked is | the activities of the submarines,
 which have sunk several ships carry | ing immense quantities of munitions | o1d large tonnages of copper. Such | losses will have to be replaced from l the output of the mines.
 There is now every prospect that
 copper will sell at least two or three
 cents higher in the near future. It
 seems likely also that 1917 will be
 as big year in the copper business
 as 1916 Some time after the war
 ends the metal will sell materially
 lower than it's present price; but the
 outlook is favorable to a continuing
 increase in demand and relatively high prices for several years to come

ZINC IN ARIZONA

Because of the fact that the great est zinc smelling centers of the world outside of the United States are To- cated in the war zone of Europe, the effect of the war on the spelter market has been most pronounced. The Euro pean smelters have either been forced to suspend operations, for, if able to oprate, their product has not been able to reach the outside world. Owing to this, both the zinc smelting and the zinc mining industries of the United States have enjoyed year of unparal- leled prosperity in 1915. According to the latest information, the recover able zinc content of zinc ores mined in the United States in 1915 was over 56O, 900 short tons, compared with 4O7,O00 tons in 1914, and 41S,000 tons in 1913 With continuance of high prices of spelter during 1916, the output will be greatly augmented, for the very high prices did not begin un- til April and May, and it was naturally some time before additional zinc min ing could get under way.
 The mining of zinc has become of premier importance in the State of Arizona With zinc running 60 per cent bringing as high as $119. 50 per ton, and with the average selling price of all grades of zinc ores run ming $107 .52 per ton, zinc is of real importance. Many of the ores of zinc are easily identified, and smithsonite, for instance, is often passed by, al- though pure mineral contains 52 per cent zinc Arizona has had, and will have considerable importance as a producer of zinc, and is entitled to still more importance.

DESPERATE OUTLAWS ROB
 STORE AT CAMP VERDE

With Indian trailers from Ft. Mo DoweH leading the way, Sheriff Joe Young, accompanied by Deputies Hawkins, Joe Cook, Guy Bozarth, Roy Young and John Spears,is closing in on the bandits who blew open and footed the safe in w. R. Wingfield's s store at Camp Verde early Tuesday morning. The last word from the sheriff stated that the trail was lead ing through Cherry Creek.
 That the robbery was committed by Lee Cuthbert and an associate, is the belief at the sheriff's office here. as it was learned that Cuthbert, who is said to have served several terms in the State prison, was seen in the vicinity of the store Monday after noon.
 Sheriffs and deputies all over the State have been notified of the rob- bery and are watching out for the pair. Cuthbert is so well known by officers of the law that his escape, should he be the bandit,is practically impossible.
 A $200 reward for the capture of the criminals has already been offered

GOVERNMENT NOT

Supervisor Trailer of Washington, D. G., recently returned from a visit of two months or more on the Navajo Indian reservation Investigating the recent Indian troubles, including the indictment of Supt. Runke and the three other men who attempted to arrest Paddy Tin, the outlaw Indian who was killed while resisting arrest Supervisor Trailer did not return through Flagstaff; but left the reser- ,vatlon, by the way of Gallup, conse- quently nothing is Known as to the cAaractel ot the report he will give the government, but it would seem that government officials of the In dian service were much stirred up over the action of the federal grand jury ill the indictment of their agents in the direct performance of their duty and were determined to get to the very bottom of the affair.
 Right or wrong, sitting the affair

The foregoing shows that Arizona's per capita expenses for state govern
 ment are exceeded by at least sixteen other states; that her educational ex- penses per pupil per annum, notwith- standing her free text book system, are exceeded by five other states and approximated by many others; and that her rate of taxation is exceeded
 by fifteen other states.
 Of course Arizona assesses at full
 valuation as does Kansas, and possib- ly some other states so these tables of statistics are only comparative; yet he who runs may read. It is hig
 time to quit playing politics to the
 discredit of the state. Fairness, trut
 and honesty will have their inning and these calumniations will revert
 to the slanderers of Arizona, her in- stitutions and officials.

F. B. Steffy, mill constructor for the Butte and Superior Copper, Ana conda Copper company, Boston and Montana Copper and Daly West Min ing companies, has been engaged by the Arizona Butte Mining company to construct it's big mill at Stockton Hill in Mohave county. The company is grading out terraces and will soon have the ground in shape to receive machinery, which should be on the road any day. H. N. Crowther, who is managing the properties of the company, reports the disclosure of a rich body of ore in the Prince George vein, and that in the Banner splendid milling ore is being obtained.

It will be noticed that Kansas in1914 is given as $2.37 per capita, while the report shows the previous year to be $4 "A. There is a reason for this When Stubs was governor his administration allowed a large num- Der of bills to go to Gov. Hodges who was elected in 1912. These bills were paid by increasing the levy for one year Since that time it is fair to say that Arthur Capper, the pres ent governor, has presented a fair budget to the legislature.
 But when comparing Arizona with Kansas or Illinois it should be borne in mind that both the latter are pure ly agricultural states in which nearly every quarter section of land is work ing and is represented on the tax roll while here in Arizona only a small percentage of the area of the state is farming land.

Insinuation and innuendo does not constitute argument. Truth is a po- tent factor in settling noted ques- tions. It has been stated through the press that cost of state government is higher here in Arizona than in any other state of the union. Such state ment is erroneous. It is not true. The Statesman Year Book for 1914 is a standard authority. From this book and other authentic sources the truth may be learned. The United States government also has issued a bulletin under date of 1912 which gives corroborative fig ureS.
 Expenditures of the various states per capita exclusive of that for edu- cation is as follows:

Uf-guy was given good supper and

curious antics. He danced about on
his queer short legs and stood on his
head and did many other things which
only dwarf can do.
When the party was over and the

out with them.

of the ladies'.

So Uf-guy was given a blanket, and

You may think from the title that
you .'e about to hear about noun /,
tain or very large man, but you are
not; this is the story of a very little
man.
Uf-guy Un-ser was a dwarf. He
lived in a cave in forest, which was
so thick with bushes and briars that
no one but Uf-guy ever attempted to
enter it.
The forest in which Uf-guy lived
was in Norway. One morning, when
the sun was shining, he made his way
out OF the forest. pushing aside the
bushes with his strong hands and
hopping over rocks like an animal.
Uf-guy made a long journey that
day, and it was night before he reach
ed the town for which he set out.
The lights were shining from the
windows of the houses, and all the
people were in holiday attire, and the
shops were trimmed with evergreens,
for 1t was Christmas Eve.
Everyone seemed to be happy, and
if Uf-guy had never seen anything
like it before, he stood before the
shop windows and feasted his eyes on
the good things to eat and the gay
decorations.
After while he came to house
where ladder had been left leaning
against 1t by carpenter or painter.
and Uf-guy climbed up on this, to get
a better view of the tree.
The children in this home were hav-
ing a party and Uf-guy wanted to get
nearer to the window. He got down
from the ladder and moved it closer,
but by the time he had got up on it
again the room was dark, and Uf-guy
felt like crying he was SO dlsap-
pointed.
But just as he was about to get
down he heard someone say, Now you
must all sit very still and not speak a
word while / am repeating the verse;
BY this time Uf-guy's eyes had be-
come accustomed to the darkness and
he could see the Children sitting in a
circle on the floor, while one of the
larger boys sat in the center. and Uf-
guy heard him say:
"Old Ole UNISON, goblin man,
Come and catch us il you can;
Show yourself to us tonight
In this room without a light
All was quiet for a Few seconds
after the boy stopped speaking, and
then one of the children said: "Oh,
UGllcNS III lAC ooplih Lhdh' "ho
ever saw him."
my grandfather did once said the
big boy He told me so, but if you
keep on talking you never will see
him, for Ole UNISON never shows him
self where there is talking
Uf-guy had become very much in
terested by this time, and forgetting
that he was an unlimited listener, he
stepped up higher on the ladder
which brought him right in front OF
the window,
The children saw something move
and all looked toward the window
Scream after scream sounded, and out
of the room ran the children. shouting
as they went, 1.-The goblin man, the
goblin man. We saw him in the win
dow"
1T was only a shadow" said one OF
the gentlemen. You should not have
blown out the light"
There he is now" screamed a little
girl pointing toward the window
where Uf-Guy stood on the ladder
quite unconscious that he had caused
all the commotion.
Uf-guy was not pleasant to look at
and for second even the grown-ups
were startled. Then one of tne gentle
