BAKER ARGUES THE
Big LOAVES BEST
Presents Facts to Show Eco.
nomic Advantages of Ten
Cent Loaf of Bread.
SAVING TO THE HOUSEWIFE
By A. R. GROH.

The big baker whom | quoted the
other day on the subject of l0-cent
bread didn't like my article bit,
and Powelrs cartoon showing Mrs.
Housewife baking her own bread
!. made him madden still. He called up
and asked to present some more ar
guments for the defense, SO l dropped
lin to see him again.
III He was quite agitated. He said a
couple of bad words; yes, he did! He
said The Bee ought TO boost the bak-
as88ing business because it's big in
dustry, the tenth in "ize in this coun-
u try.
l told him that this great home
and freside daily is the best little
booster of all kinds of good business
ind including the business of Great
Common People g. Co.
= 1T strikes me-" | said sternly (for
those bad words hat made me kind
of mad); ct strikes me that you've
reduced the size of the Scent loaf
till is isn't much bigger than a bun,
and you're ashamed of it, and I'd be
ashamed of it, too; and now you're
going to put it out of business alto
gether and start on the 10-cent loaf
and then begin reducing the size Of
that"
Atmosphere is Cleared.
This little storm cleared the air and
we got along fine after that. The
baker is really quite nice fellow.
He pointed out that nearly every
thing used in baking has increased in
price.
These wrappers" he said, II bought
at $l.38 a thousand two years ago;
now they cost me S.. Flour has gone
up 80 per cent, lard 20 to 80 per cent,
eggs rs to 80 per cent, machinery 20
per cent, and so on all down the line.
"The wheat crop is practically a
failure this year. Not since 1866 has
there been such shortage of wheat
in proportion to population. Selling
for export has forced the price Of
wheat to over $l.50 bushel."
But all this, fellow bread eaters, is
not the reason for abolishing the s.
Kent loaf.
THE Scent loaf must be abandoned
because it is wasteful," said the
baker. at is an economic mistake; l
will show you why.
Cuts Down Expense
"All expenses, excepting only cost
of material, are nearly as great in
the Scent as in the l0-cent loaf.
Take the wrapping of the loaves
alone. The wrappers cost almost as
much and it requires nearly as much
string for a Scent as for a l0-cent
loaf. A wrapping machine will wrap
10-cent loaves just as fast as it will
scent loaves. Hand wrappers will do
the same. l figure a saving of $40
on the wrapping Of 1000 loaves of the
l0-cent size compared with the wrap
ping OF the same weight of bread i'll
the Scent size.
Another consideration is the fact
that the 10-cent loaves are actually
better to the taste than the Scent
loaves. Many people call us up and
ask why we put better -four in our
l0-cent loaves. We don't, but there's
something takes place in the course
of baking which makes a large loaf
get better than small one"

CHANGING SITE
 0F RAILROAD

That the United Verde and Pacific railroad station will be removed from it's present location to the town level and one half mile from Jerome. seems d certainty. Surveyors are now on the ground and the preliminary work we'll under way
 IL is understood that at least three miles of switchback will have to be constructed in order to bring the terminus down to the desired level. IL Is estimated that the cost of changing the road bed and adding to the switchback will be approximately $100,000.
 The chief reason for the removal of the station is the introduction of the steam shovel method of mining in the United Verde Copper mine. If the present plan is carried out several million yards of mountain side will be moved by steam shovel operations in order to get to the ore bodies. and the w.. ste vll Le dumped where the present depot is located, necessitatins it's removal

In the minds of many mine owners, mining engineers and miners, the United Verde Extension is the greatest ore body in the world.
 A property that was turned down again and again by noted geologists, that four years ago was not even con- sidered promising prospect is today producing 4,000. 900 pounds of copper month and it is estimated that this amount will be doubled when the smelt- CT is on the ground.
 The development up to the present time places the mine in the great class. The extent of the ore body is as yet unknown. but it is evident the mine is of the first magnitude. Although the property consists of forty claims, the ore thus far, has been taken from one, the remaining thirty mine being un- developed.
 A rich body of chalcocite ore was first encountered in 1914 in a cross- cut from the 1900 foot level from the Edith shaft on one of the five original claims. This ore in those early days of the mine had to be packed on bur ros and so carried from the old United Verde smelter in Jerome to the rail- road There was no other means of transportation and at one time there were as many as l30 burros on the trail with their packs of ore amount ing easily to sl.000,000. Six thousand feet of tramway now connects the mine with the railroad but that has been an improvement of only tte past year
 The mine which has broken the belt" that has opened the district to the world was discovered by J. j. Fish er civil and mining engineer, who To- cated a fraction of the Little Daisy. Associated with Fisher was L. E.. Whicher of New York. broker and pro- moter and the two men purchased four other claims adjoining the Little Daisy from George Hull. The United Verde Extension company was organized and operated and sunk the old Daisy shaft to a depth of 500 feet. Although con- siderable drifting and cross cutting was done no commercial ore was encount- cred. The company operated on and off at times being completely out of funds although still operating at the time of Mir. Fishers death in 1911. He had at various times been assisted financially by Major A. J. Pickrell of Prescott and for the help he gave re- ceived stock in return. He endeavored 10 interest substantial men in the proposition and in 1912 was successful in attracting the attention of J. $. Douglas. who for many years had been operating in Yavapai county as well as other districts in the state.
 That year the Douglas -Tener syndi- cate took over the property, purchas- ing block of stock and taking an

A. Kehr, the mine manager MT. Kehr does not dig nify the proposed plans to such an ex- tent referring to it rather as place for residence purposes for the officials and the work people"
 Mir. Douglas has not made any recent announcements but it is known that he has purchased the 120-acre ranch formerly owned by Mir and Mrs. Clar- ence Hopkins for the water supply it affords. The property which is situ- ated seven miles from Jerome and two and a half miles from Clarkdale. are three artesian wells. It is said that the Discus ranch. another recent pur- chase of Mir. Douglas. will be the smelter site.
 Walter Harvey Weed in The Mines Handbook" in sketch of the United Verde Extension says. in part:
 The company was incorporated in 1902 in Maine, as a reconstruction of the United Verde Extension Gold. Sil- yer and Copper Mfg. Co.,, Ariz. It was capitalized for SS.000,0 900. shares Si0 par. ReOrganized in Delaware, capital ized S4.000.000 shares Sl0 par; and again reorganiZed in 1912. and capi- taliZation reduced to S750 GOO. shares soc par In this reorganization, ap- proXimately 360, 900 shares were set aside for exchange, on share for share basis for the old shares outstanding: about 10000 shares were issued in liquidation of debts; I50.000 shares were issued to Jas. :. Douglas for ser vices; 50,OO0 shares were sold to MT. Douglas for S25, 900 cash: 400. 900 shares were optioned to MT. Douglas and his associates with the right to purchase all or d part of this block at par value at any time prior to June l5, 1915: and 500.000 shares were reserved for treasury purposes.
 August 1916 shows the ore body on the HOO foot level to be 250 feet wide and 300 feet long, with an average content of 10 per cent copper A raise being driven to connect with the 1900 foot level Is mp to 103 feet and shows an average of l4 per cent copper. X 50 foot winZe sunk from the l400- foot level to be deepened to 1900 feet shows an average of II per cent cop per, proving the downward extension to much greater depth. The develop ment to date makes the mine as great one as it's more famous namesake.
 The original development was by an S00-foot vertical shaft, the Edith. on the Little Daisy claim. about 1700

These old workings total about 5000 feet but develop only little ore of about per cent copper. ounce silver and $500 gold on the 00-foot level. A 130-foot winze below this level was bottomed in decomposed schist, showing consider able copper
 The development from October 10. 1914. to January l. 1916 includes 464 feet of drifts and cross-cut on the S00- foot level; 2499 feet on the 1l00-foot level. 1874 feet on the 1900 foot level, 1900 feet on the 1400-foot level. in the company ground. besides 2197 feet Jerome Verde work in that company's tract. No payable ore in commercial amount, however. has been found above the l-00-foot level, though favorable in- dications exist
 The ore thus far developed lies on the nOrtherly down thrown side of a big fault. with drop of $50 feet or thereabouts. as shown by the lime stone strata on each side of it.
 Ore reserves estimated about July 1, 1916. give 100000 tons of 10 per cent ore blocked out.
