zEPPELINS FACE
HEAVY FIRE OF
FORCES ON LAND.

London, April 26.-The zeppelins
which made raid over the east coast
last night remained at a great height,
probably because they were subjected
to violent fire from anti-aircraft guns.
The raiders we're favored by the dark
ness of the moonless night and the
lightness of the wind but were forced
to flee after short time.
A correspondent in a town in Essex
county says a Zeppelin was picked up
by a searchlight at the outskirts of
the country as it was as sailing in a
southerly direction. In "a few minutes
it was outlined against the sky by
other searchlights. Then shrapneI be-
gan to burst around it from many di-
rections. The Zeppelin climbed very
high and lowered about for ten min
utes. Then it sailed eastward. No
bombs were dropped after the search
lights found it.
The number of casualties. and ex-
tent of the damage caused by the raid
have not been ascertained.

ment and throws valuable Tight on
several parts of the controversy.

Among the new blOuses is a most al
Turing model called the ''tunic." OF
course it is Russian in type, and its
important feature Is an extension be-
low the waist line. which gives the
long. Russian tunic effect. This ex-
tension is either gathered or circular
and falls from a trim belt to midway
between hip and knee. Worn over a
separate skirt Of harmonizing mate
rial. the new Russian blouse gives the
effect of a complete costume. The idea
is a practical one, for any woman can
furnish the simple, we'll cut skirt and
purchase one of these smart blouscs
to complete really stunning new

In some Of the smartest new waist
models color is combined with white,

Of different materials, such as sheer
silk Grape and taffeta or Grape and

C B A REPORT SHOWS B|G
 YEAR
Output of Mines of the Calu- met and Arizona Mining Company Are Contracted Far Ahead.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
 IS PROMISING
Ore Reserves Increased While Exceedingly Large Tonnage Was Mined. Peculiar Cir cumstances Attend Work.

The annual report of the Calumet and Arizona Mining company. made public yesterday. carries to the many holders of its shares and to the people of the Warren District convincing evi- dence that the year just passed was the most profitable and the largest in the history of the organization.
 The report discloses much to be thankful for at the present time and forecast of even better ines in the future for the District.
 President Charles Briggs, of the company, said in part:
 'The prospects for 1916 are the best in the history of the company. The demand for copper has advanced the price per pound of electrolytic copper to a high point and we have entered into contracts for delivery over long period"
 The last phrase in the Presidents report is especially encouraging to the people of the District and to the share holders of the corporation. The off cial hints that the company is sold out far in advance and has secured excell- ent prices for the product.
 The income of the company for the year 1915. was Sl1.6S3. .72413. The ex- penditures amounted to $5.45S.12S.95, This leaves net balance for the year of $5.453. .SSL51 The total assets of the company, as shown in the report, are s4O,41S,S66.S2.
 Captain John C. Greenway, manag- CT of the c. X A. Company, in his DOT ton of the report, says:
 "One of the most gratifying results of the years work was the further in- crease Of our ore reserves of 366. 6.155 over the corresponding period of 1914. although 729,G77 wet tons of ore were mined"
 The general manager calls attention to the fact that during the first three months of the year, 1915. the company was operating at fifty per cent capa- city from beginning to end. In spite of this the production was enormous and the profits equally so.
 The report includes a thorough re- sume on the work done at the New Cornelia Copper Company. the build ing and completion of the railroad to the new mining camp and other facts and features of interest to C. X A. stock holders and the general public.
