Remarkable Bread BAKING,

What, we wonder. was the ultirat,
result of an experiment made IL
Aarylebone, England, in April. 1854
Two Frenchmcn affirmed their abilit,
to produce $50 four-pound loaves from
a sack of flour, which at that time pro
duced only 80 to 100 loaves. The
Marylebone guardians lent their bal1
cry for trial. The bread was t.
bear chemical tests, and to contain
nothing prejudicial to health, but thu
process by which it was made was tt
remain the secret of the two French
men, who offered demonstration OF
their skill. The experiment was de
clared at the time to be perfectly sue.
cessful. Two sacks Of flour, under
seal, were issued by the workhouse au
thor1ties. One was worked up by Eng.
Hsh bakers, and produced 80 leaves
weighing $50 pounds; the other was
worked UP by the French bakers, and
yielded 1874 loaves. weighing sec
pounds. Several scientific men were
present, to ''see fair" but not, as may
be guessed, to penetrate the mystery
of the French bakers.

Oldest Weather Reports.

The Oldest weather diary known to
be in existence was kept by q Lincoln
shire (Eng.) parson, William Merle,
close on 600 years ago. From 1887 to
1874 he wrote it up, often day by Gay,
in Latin, and his manuscript, being on
yellum, was somehow preserved and is
now in the Bodleian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey Influences" but stuck to
an accurate record of fact, in the spirit
at least of the modern meteorclogists.
And from his jottings it seems that he
had pretty much the same kind of
weather to deal with as folks in his
parish of Frilby experience now. Con
trary to theory, the changes Of six cen
turtles have not reduced the number of
wet days in the year.

Three shifts of men are engaged in sinking the shaft and MT. Deity anticipates that they will obtain a depth of feet daily including timbering.

United Verde Extension

United Verde Extension Mining Co., reports lower earnings and higher costs than many recent newspaper and brokers accounts had inveigled the public into believing. The company re- ports S793,SS3 cash on hand as and July 1 represents six months profits on ore already shipped, but not yet paid for, total of $1 793 SS3. On Jan uary l, 1916, the cash assets were $501,S11. The increase of S1, 1,292, 900 be- tween January 1 and July 1 represents six months profits, which are at the rate of approximately $2.50 per share per annum. The production of copper in the six months is estimated at 1O,- 500,000 pounds net, and the profit 12.3c per pound As the price of refined cop per in New York during the six months averaged around 26.Sc according to the official Engineering & Mining Jour nal,'' the indicated costs of production
 was 1412c per pound. According to various brokers and press accounts the company was producing copper at a cost of from 7c to SC per pound. It must however, be added that costs in the six months past have been abnor- mally high wages, but also to an ab- normal amount of new development
 work in opening up this young mine Doubtless, too, the ultimate erection of Q shelter by the company will effect a very considerable saving in costs per 1 pound. Examples of the Chalcocite ore
 now being shipped by the |. V. Go. can
 be seen at the local assay office, S0l 1 N. First street.

Details of Cost

The advantage of the motor-truck over the team and wagon are many increased speed, ability to work "A
 hours per day when necessary, and lower cost on long hauls-but it's adoption by the mining industry has been slow. Where trucks are used around mines they are usually driven by cheap inexperienced men, the up- keep and repairs being turned over to the regular mine mechanics. It would be equally good practice to employ a timber framer to make a dining room table. Just as the niceties of cabinet making are unknown to the timber framer, the exact adjustments and fine workmanship of the high speed engine and transmission gears of motor truck are beyond the ken of the mine mechanic, one of the least skilled of his class. If there are enough motor vehicles at the mine, the master me chanic probably turns the work over to one or two men who, in time, be- come indifferent auto- mechanics, but in the meantime the cost of mainten-

Wash, and Beagle, Ore, in 1916 have led to some development and construc- tion of reduction plants Also in the Skull Valley deposits, Ariz., referred to many years ago by w. P. Blake and at Black Pine Idaho, some activity is reported Many old furnaces have been repaired or enlarged in California, Ne vada, and Texas, old workings have been reopened, and new discoveries have been developed
 Very likely the exceptionally high prices of the last few months have led to gouging and robbng many mines of their best ore, and the average tenor of the ore worked by the larger mines during the first half of 1916may prove considerably below that of previous years. Moreover, some mines have un- doubtedly passed their maximum pro- ductivity.
 These conditions are probably offset to some extent by the fact that more furnace capacity is now working on quicksilver ores than at any previous time in the history of the industry. Or the whole the midyear outlook is fol an output in 1916 fully equal to that of 1915.

Arizona Mines

The mines and smelJers of Arizona have been working at a pressure so high in 1916 that they are probably making record productions of all met als. If they continue to work at the present rate during the year they will make an output of over 600,000,00O pounds of copper, against about 45O,- 900, 900 in 1915. according to reports re- ceived by the U s. Geological Survey by Victor C. Heikes of the Salt Lake office.
 A corresponding increase in the out put of the precious metals and an in crease in that of lead and zinc, which is probable will, at the greatly in creased prices, make the total value of the output in 1916 nearly double that of 1915, which was about $SS 900 000 Thus Arizona not only retains first place as a copper producer but is pro- ducing at a rate nearly double that of any other state.
 Aside from a general effort to take advantage of an unusually active mar ket, several factors have aided this in crease such as the settlement of the strike at the Clifton Morenci mines in  January. The International smelter, which treats Inspiration ore contrib utes the greatest part of the increase. for this plant is supplying about one fourth of the total copper.
 Marked increases and improvements were made at the United Verde. Miami, Calumet & Arizona, and old Dominion mines. and the Sasco plant in Pima County was again blown in. The rail- road to Ajo was completed and work has been begun there on a 4,000 ton teaching plant.
 There is great activity in the pro- duction of gold, especially in Mohave County. and the high price of zinc has stimulated production at the Tennes- see. Union Basin and Kingman zinc properties. The mill at the Union Ba- sin mine was enlarged. and work at the San Xavier mine in Pima County was resumed.

Demand for Quicksilver

The domestic quicksilver industry | has continued active during the first | six months of 1916, and the average [ price for the period has been about | double the exceptionally high average for the entire year 1915.
 Figures just compiled by the United States Geological Survey show that the total production of quicksilver in the United States in 1915 was 1,233 flasks of E pounds each, having market value of S1,S26192, or an average of sS6.86 per flask. Of this output 14,2S3 flasks. selling for $1,174,SS1, came from California and the remainder almost entirely from Texas and Nevada. The actual average sales value for the whole country exceeded the average market value in San Francisco which was sS5.SO for the year. In 1914 valued at $811, ,6s0 and therefore the production for 1915 showed an increase of over 27 per cent in quantity and 125 per cent in value.
 The increased domestic demand for quicksilver in the last IS months has been due mainly to war requirements for illuminate and drugs. Early in 1915 domestic stocks began to be drawn upon and production became more active, but as foreign embar- goes left the field clear and domestic 1 output was unable to meet the rap | idly increasing call for the metal l prices continued to rise throughout the | year and into the early months of 1916 | the high mark of $500 flask being passed in February. Naturally every 1 mine and prospect became of interest. | The reaction set in, however, as the l high prices drew out quicksilver SUD- | plies in Mexico and elsewhere that had been originally purchased for amalgamation of gold and silver ores, and finally as the British government | permitted exports to America under
 certain limitations The average
 monthly domestic price in San Fran cisco, which had climbed from $519 in January, 1915, to $295 in February,
