PUBLICAN $ BARGAIN DAYS
 BEGIN TODAY

Today is the opening day of the period during which The Arizona Re publican will be offered to the public at bargain prices. From today to Jan uary G. inclusive. this paper. the only one in the state that is printed every day in the week, will be placed in the hands of old and new subscribers at S5.75.
 The price this year of the bargain offer is 75 cents higher than any pre- vious year. This is explained by the amazing rise in the prices of newspaper materials. Print paper for instance. has risen from 75 to 100 per cent in cost to the publisher in the period be- ginning shortly after the opening of the Euorpean war.
 The increase, however, does not cover these advances in raw material cost. In addition, The Republican is offering. and will continue to offer during the coming year. so much more and much improved news and editorial service that it is worth more.
 All over the valley are people who wait for the annual bargain offer of The Republican Thousands do their subscribing during this period. and save about 40 per cent on the cost of their morning paper.
 In one community-that centering in Tempe. there is contest in which two score young men and women are aiding in the distribution of the states great est newspaper Prizes are offered to create interest in the work, which is paying the contestants handsome percentage on their collections.
 In the city the carriers are organ ized and are cooperating with the cir culation department to put The Repub- lican in every home.

ALL SINGLE MEN
 ID BE RECRUITED
[Repubiican A. P. Leased wirel

LINDSAY. Ont. Dec. 25.-As @ re- cruiting policy for Canada, Sir Sam Hughes, former minister of militia in tte Canadian cabinet, in an address here advocated the immediate calling out of all single men between tie ages of IS and .5 not now exempted under the law for active service training under the Canadian militia act. He declared that the rational service commission was more or less of a failure and that it would be year before the commission could begin to operate with any effect
 Prompt action is needed. Sir San. said, and the calling out of the single men could be done under the provi- sions of the act In order. however, to remove all doubt regarding compul- sory service for overseas. he said the act should be amended so that tine militia might he sent abroad for the defense of the empire. Under this plan Sir Sam asserted. he would un- dertake to have at least from 200, 900 to 300,0c0 men ready for the front within four months.
 The former minister of militia praised the work Of the Canadians ai the front ard ctated that he had found the British government and the war office fully in accord with his policy of making promotions as far as pos- sible. from the ranks on the basis of merit and efficiency.

otherwise, in the east. are attributed as prime cause for this condition. sec ondary attributes are said to lie in the facts that eastern roads for the most part have short hauls and traverse densely populated areas. Especially is this noticeable in the revenue from passenger traffic; eastern roads, with 59,200 miles, having received almost as much in passenger fares as all the rest of the roads in the country put to- gether, with a total of 170,S00 miles.
 The railroads of the south, with A.. 800 miles, come next to those of the east in revenue per mile. with S11,922, about JS per cent of what the eastern roads received. Net income on south era roads was approximately s3.500 per mile On western roads the rev enue per mile was approximately $l1,- PIT. with net income of s3.6l4. The western roads, however, show greater net income, in proportion to receipts, than is shown in any other section. Percentage of net income to gross re- ceipts was:
 For the entire country .approxi- mately 30 per cent; for eastern and southern roads. 29 per cent; for west ern roads. 32 per cent. The difference is attributed by officials to careful ad- ministration and to higher tariffs prevalent in the sparsely settled sec. tions of the west than in the east.
 Western roads also lead those of all other sections in the amount of taxes paid, S71 1263,601, with eastern roads second with s63,+40,3 ,341. The annual taxes of southern roads are placed at s2l, ,923,60 Eastern roads, however contracted more bad debts than those of other sections, the showing being: Eastern roads. s445.S05 western roads, $3e7.653 southern roads. s152,570.
 The figures show that the American people are travelling more and further than ever before-at least on Amer icAn railways. Beginning with s49. = SO5,917 in January, the public's monthly passenger fare rose more than 40 per cent to s70.00O,000. slightly surpassing this figure in the holiday months of July and August. In the short month Of February passenger receipts slumped to S46,6lS,325. They rose from s54 4,253,790 in May to 61,54S,716 when the vacation rush started in June. and to s70 1S5,753 at it's height in July. re- -ceding to s66.586,472 in September, the last month for which complete returns are available. Officials assert that passenger receipts for the remaining three months probably will fall below those of September. but normal in- creases in other revenues are expected to compensate for this loss. Total passenger receipts for the year, it is expected, will aggregate about S700.- 900, poo.
 Increased rates in certain commut- ing sections are said to be responsible to some degree, for the increase in passenger receipts
 Notwithstanding the enormous vol ume of business handled and the re- sultant new high level in net income, officials declare that the car shortage situation seriously has handicapped the roads in recent months and that were it not for this and the congestion In the east the roads would show still greater revenues and incomes.

MAGMA EXTENSION
 GOOD PROSPECT

That another big mine is likely to be added to the already long list of pro ducers in the Superior district, is the conclusion drawn from observations made recently on the Magma EXten- sion Copper company's property at Su- perior by expert mining men, whose skill at bringing in new mines in this district has already become byword.
 After spending ample time on the Extension ground last week as to leave no doubt in his mind, Wm. F. Gordon, noted engineer of the district. states that the dykes and faults on the eX- tension are similar to the Magma proper MT. Gordon is highly inter- ested in the development of the Mag ma Extension, and it is source of wonder to him that this property has not already been exploited. He will direct the development work required, which will be pushed as rapidly as possible. Lying as il does between the Magma Copper company and the SlI- yer King mines, and being about 200 feet lower than both, the result of churn drilling, the extension ground will prove of greater interest to mining men generally than any of the numer- ous properties now in course of devel- opment in the Superior district Gordon says that everything points to the Extensions operations picking up the tremendously rich Silver King ore body, which should exist in d re captive ore zone underlying the Ex tension and consisting of tremendous flow beneath the diabase from the Sil yer King.
 MT. James Neary. celebrated for making the famous strike in the Mag ma mine speaks in the highest terms of the Extension. which, in his opinion, from its advantageous loca tion. it's strongly faulted surface indications. and it's excellent naturalization, should make the bonanza mine of the district.
 The strong indications given by this and other new properties in the district of becoming big producers is very grat- flying to all who are interested in the ground and the mineral it contains. having personnel and manipulation as q basis of operation, instead of sin ccre hard work in a worthy mining venture.
