900 pounds of copper, and the net re- turns from S7O0,OOO to $8OO,OOO. Most of the ore thus far shipped has been treated outside of this county at the two Douglas smelters and at the Old Dominion plant at Globe. Recently, however, shipments were discontinued to the last named plant. A shortage of cars is hampering ore shipments considerably and were it not for that fact the net returns on ore would now be $1,000,000 per month.
 The United Verde Extension mine within year world-noted as the rich est copper mine ever discovered-be- came regularly productive during 1916, and paid two quarterly dividends of 50 cents per share on its issued 1,O5O,O00 shares. In addition, a large treasury fund was accumulated for smelter building purposes. The ore shipped had general average of Is per cent copper as against the general average of 2 per cent copper held by the United Verdes ores. Ten to 12 per cent copper ore is labeled "second grade" at the Verde Extension mine.
 Ground will be broken early in Jan uary for the smelting plant of the
 
 United Verde Extension company. The c. V. Hopkins ranch, located near Cot tonwood, less than four miles from the company's Edith shaft, has been pur- chased for that purpose. A. G. Me Gregor, who built the Arizona Copper company's shelter at Clifton, the h. ternational smelter at Miami, and the addition to the c. & A. shelter at Douglas, will superintend the work.
 The smelter plans are ready for the builders, a large amount of material has been ordered and the necessary surveys made The surveys provide for an ore transportation line from mine to smelter, and for connection with a subsidiary line of the Santa Fe at Clarksdale and with the Southern Pacific at Mesa. Railroad and smelter will be completed within two years. The latter will have an initial capacity of 5,OOO,OOO pounds of copper per month and will be so constructed that additional smelting units can be added as needed.

A Rainbow Birthday Party
Described by ESTHER MILLER,

want to tell you about Buds birthday
party. He is just 8 years old. Mamma
and Aunt Edith had the rooms decorated in
crepe paper, all the colors Of the rainbow.
In the parlor they had strips of the colors
slightly rolled from the four corners OF the
room to the light in the centre of the
room, and a small American flag directly
under the chandelier. They draped a large
American flag like a curtain between the
dining room and parlor. and then the dining
room was decorated the same. They had
different colors hanging from the light,
right over the centre of the table, and the
Htreamer separated the little guests. There
were 10 guests beside my Aunt Alma, from
Cheltenham, and mammals Aunt Rae, from
Roxborough. Bud received many pretty
presents. The guests all went home happy
for they all said they all had dandy
time. o, l mustn't forget to tell you that
Thelma and Althea Baghurst each sent
Bud very pretty birthday card.
It isn't our turn to talk. but we're going

prettisst party we've heard about in long
while, and we hope that other little people

may have a Rainbow party.
