URGENT PROTEST
FILED AGAINST
TAX ON COPPER

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 13-Telegrams
of urgent protest against the proposed
taxing of the copper smelling industry
by CHASING it as a war industry are
being sent to AriZona's representatives
in Washington by the commercial or
CARNATIONS of the state. While the
boards of trade and chambers of COM
merce of the mining sections of the
state are particularly active in protest
ing against the proposed CHASING of
the copper industry with war NUM-
tions, practically every community in
Arizona, it is said, has already sent a
protest to Washington against the pro-
posed legislation. Labor organizations.
it is said, will join in opposing the new
measure which if it becomes a law
will seriously affect the wages of the
men employed in the mines and smell

Thrift is a composite virtue 1t in
cludes the desirable attributes of
economy, self denial and saving; but
it is no relative to niggardliness or
meanness. The man who would let his
grandmother starve is not a thrifty
man, but a brute. Any virtues car
ried to extremes becomes undesirable
and no longer a virtue. The thrift
that does not make a man charitable
sours into avarice. Thrift means bet

little anxiety-peace. Out of it grows
productive energy, steady courage, op-
portunity, independence, self respect,

No bad habit is acquired in an in

No man ever becomes a spendthrift
at a single leap. The wasteful habits

| pany. 1t was hardly thought possible
that the company could have developed
G0O,O0O tons of ore in such a short time
and within 100 feet Of the 1400-fo
level, as shown in the statement. At
this rate, if the proposed winze reaches
a depth of 200 feet in ore, there would
be total ore reserves of fully 1900, 900
tons. On the basis of 16 per cent cop
per, these ore reserves would contain
| 576,000,000 pounds of copper. On an
average copper market of Is cents and
a working cost of cents, this would
indicate values of 39,20O,OOO, without
taking into account the gold and sill
yer values, equivalent to about $40 per
share The ore already in sight above
| the 1400foot level has a net value on
a 15-cent market of over $4,000. 600,
whereas at the present price of copper
II would have a net value of $35, $40, :

The development of the United
VeFue Extension from mere prospect
some three years ago to it's present
position as the most remarkable high
west, is due to the efforts of James
,. Douglas, who now shares honors
with his famous progenitor in the his
cory of the copper industry.
In connection with initial dividend
declaration it should be borne in mind
that the company's productive career
has only begun. The smallness of the
disbursement has been considered in an
entirely false light by some market
players 1t does not in any way de-
tract from the intrinsic value of the
stock The high grade ore develop
ment indicates that the company will
be an extremely low cost producer
and that it will be making large profits
when others whose cost of production
is great deal higher will be forced
10 curtall Furthermore, according to
the letter to stockholders, the COM
pany intends to build it's own melter,
thereby saving profits which now go
to other interests.
Without doubt the United Verde
Extension has the most phenomenal
body of high grade ore that has been
developed in recent years. 1t bids fair
to surpass the famous Kennecott and
its own equally famous neighbor, the
United Verde, which has already pro-
Guced $160,000,000 worth of copper and
paid nearly $4OO000OO in dividends.
The United Verde Extension Mining
company has an authorized capitaliza-
tion of $750000, divided into 1900, 600
shares of a par value of so cents, Of
which 1,O50,OO0 shares are outstand-

TALKS ON THRIFT

The trouble with a great many peo-
pie is they expect to acquire good
habits in old age, while they spend
most of their youth in cultivating bad
ones. 1t is so easy to postpone doing
the things that are hard until tomor-
row, and so easy to drift along today.
Not only is Hell paved with good in
tentions, but the pathway of the av-
erage man is strewn with the wrecks
of good intentions. The whole scheme
Of right living contemplates that man
should not put off until tomorrow the
things he should do today.
One of the habits we hope to ac-
quire some time is the habit of thrift.
T.1.is habit often comes late in life
not always from choice but often from
necessity. Having satisfied habits that
are destructive, when the passions are
burned out of decaying mind and
body, men find themselves more or
less free from temptations, and mis-

virtue. Any habit which is forced is
likely to find itself in an unhealthy en-
vironment, and becomes meaningless
in it's practice.
Before you can practice a virtue, you
must desire the results which that
virtue brings, and understand the
process through which it comes. Many
a man has gone to his doom because
he hoped to stop drinking, or spend
ing, or gambling, some day, but his
hope never got to the point of action.
Frequently you will find standing
alone, or in groups, on a wind-swept
plain, trees with no branches on what
the sailor would call the 'windward
side," and leaning sharply in the di-
rection in which the wind blows This
has been no sudden process. For
years the north wind has blown gently
or fiercly against the tree, so that

ASTOUNDING FACTS IN
j. Y EXTENSION REPORT

In letter to the stockholders, dated
July l, the directors of the United
Verde Extension Mining company say
in part:
We are now shipping to smelters in
Arizona, at considerable distance
from Jerome, over 1000 tons of ore
per month, which has been averaging
4 about 70 per cent copper, resulting in
for several months past. These earn
lngs are due in part to the prevailing
high prices for copper Cash on hand,
as of this date, is $793SS2; there is
due us from ore shipped approxi-
mately $1,000,O00, making total of
$l,793,SS2. Although we have the sur
plus available it has been decided to
accumulate larger surplus for the
j purpose of developing the property and
constructing necessary reductio IN
works."
This cash statement is a revelation.
as the company had less than $500, 600
cash on hand at the beginning of the
year, so that earnings during the first
half year have evidently been at the
rate of $2,5OO,OOO per annum, or over
800 per cent on the par value of the
entire capital stock issued.
The letter says further:
Since the issuing of our annual re-
port on February 19, 1916, the orebody
on the 1400-foot level which was re-
terred to at that time, has been de-
veloped by about 1000 feet of lateral
! workings in ore, and two upraises
reaching height of 100 feet above
the 1400-foot level and several upraises
in ore; winze located at about the
center of the orebody on the 140O-foot
level is being sunk; it is proposed to
sink this Winze to depth of at least
200 feet.
! There is no reason to doubt that the
orebody will go to a considerable
depth, and consequently it is conserva-
lively safe to consider the property
as having great value.
A careful sampling of the orebody
on the 1400-foot level shows that it
| averages liz per cent copper, and up
to the present time we have blocked
out upwards of 100000 tons of ore.
1t is proposed to sink new two
compartment shaft, equipped with skips
and pockets, to be used exclusively
for the hosting of ore
After the completion of the winze
referred to above and the completion
OF the new shaft, it is intended to sink
the Edith shaft to a greater Depth"
The statement of ore reserves and
assays is far more astounding than
that of the cash position of the COM
