will make their first distribution at
the Golden rifle range soon after
Aug. /. Announcement to this effect
was n principal topic of interest
among guardsmen mustered into the

900 will be distributed to the men,
based on the time they were called
into service-from June 10 on. The
pay will range from SIS month for
privates upward through the various

probably for all the men now at the

time the paymaster is on the job all
the militiamen will have been mus

600 have already taken the federal
oath. The hospital division, the first
unit to be thoroughly recruited and
equipped in every detail. now has a
fully equipped field hospital capable
of caring for 1oS patients, directed
by Mai. w. A. Jolley. 1t Is said that
every operation possible in any Den

Record productions of all metals
are predicted for the mines and smelt-
ers of Arizona, based on report
made to the U. S. Geological Survey
by Victor S. Heikes of the Salt Lake
office. At the rate they are now
working they will produce 600,000.000
pounds of copper against 450000,00o
in 1915. A corresponding increase Is
noted in the output of precious
metals and an increase in that of lead
and zinc, which at the greatly in
creased prices will probably make the
total value of the output in 1916
double that of 1915, which was about
