 The recent election saw the rejection of many ballots, not sections of the state, on account of what the board believed to be the failure of the voter to properly mark. his ballot.

 The mines and smelters of Ari zona during 1916 have been work ing at pressure so high that they are probably making record productions of all metals. If they continue to work at the present rate during the year, they will make an output of over 600, ,OOO, 900 pounds of copper, against a bout 45O, 1000. 900 in 1915, accor ding to reports received by the U. S. Geological Survey. A corresponding increase in the of the precious metals and in that of lead and zinc, which is probable, will, at the greatly increased prices, make the total value of the output in 1916 nearly double that of 1915, which was about $38, 100000.
 The old placer camp of La Paz on the Arizona side of the river in northern Yuma county, is about to realize a boom in the near future. This, district was one of the rich in placer mining in the early fifties. and for years contained a population of several thousand gold diggers. It has produced millions of dollars in placer gold in the days when the crudest method of mining was in vogue. There is a record of production of S5OO,OOO from one gulch alone, only the coarse est gold being saved. Nuggets 12 pounds are of record, from Farrer Gulch. Ali ter the cream of the district was roughly skinned, there was an exodus from the camp, and for years it has been inactive and practically abandoned.-Messen ger.
