(From Tuesdays Daily.)

According to Prof. C. T. Willis, in- structor of mining subjects at the Arizona State university, Arizona is now producing 20 per cent of the worlds supply of copper. Professor Willis arrived in Prescott yesterday to attend the State Board of Trade meeting. He is enthusiastic over the outlook for mining in Arizona.
 q am confident that Arizona will this year produce more than 600,000,- GOO pounds of copper" he said yester- day. There is every reason to be- lieve this from the increased produc- ton and the number of new proper ties being opened up in every part of the State.

George Curry, who has m1ning in terests in the Bouse country, is in the city on business, and gives a good re- port of the situation in that field. The latest big movement, he says, is the resumption of the Twin Buttes, which is to be largely operated. Mir. Curry also says that many properties here tofore rated as gold producers arc gradually changing their mineral character as depth and copper is prevailing. Recent develop ment below the 3CO-foot depth is proving this condition as evident, and he mentions several mines to up hold this remarkable determination. The Swansea and Planet coppers con tinue to make heavy production.

Sigma house. He made some friendly
criticism of the school of mines and
offered some friendly suggestions and
some sound advice for the prospective
engineers
yates, according to Mr.. Day, is their
lack of confidence and self-reliance,
probably due to their youth and lack
of practical experience.
He recommended that the required
work in electricity be increased be-
cause of it's increasing use in the
mines and mills, especially in the new
processes for the sep
aration of metals. The Importance of
a good knowledge of chemistry,
physics and mathematics was emphas-
lied by the speaker.
He declared that a capacity for hard |
work was essential if a man would
become a successful mining engineer
"a mans job He stated that it
was his conviction the mining course
should be heightened to six years,
seven months of each year to be
spent in school and five in mining

-ersity of Idaho, and stated that at

AMATEURS WITH THE CLUBS
Writers Who Have Made Names for
Themselves Fail to Shine on
the Golf Links.

Some time ago ct luncheon at
Delmonico's there were gathered Bob
Davis of Munsey's, Irwin Cobb and
Sam Blythe of the Saturday Eve
ming Post and Herbert Corey, relates
Vanity Fair.
An argument arose as to whether
Cobb or Corey was the better golfer.
Neither had ever seen a golf match
or had ever handled a club. And
both ranged something beyond two
hundred pounds in the way of dis
placement. Davis backed Cobb and
Blythe backed Corey for $50 side.
A taxi was subpenaed and the party
forthwith moved to Dunwoodie,
where the battle was staged, it being
understood that neither golfer was to
be told what club should be used nor
advised as to how it should be used.
The match started at the first hole
at three o'clock. 1t was concluded at
the third hole at 4 80 o'clock. Cobb
won the first hole in 27 strokes
against 35. Corey rallied gamely
and took the second in 80 strokes
against 81. But Cobb broke up the
match by grasping the finer points
of the game at the third hole, where
he turned in tidy "a, Corey conced-
ing the match where a perfectly
played niblick from deep bunker
into the cup would have given him
