M'kINLEY RESUMES.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. Sept. 14-Opera-
tions on a large scale will be COM
menced shortly by the Mckinley Min
ing and Development company which
has been financed by prominent Michi-
gan mining operators. The property
lies in the Copper Basin and at the
time work was suspended a cross-cut
was being driven from the 7OO-foot
level. The mine has been unwatered
and as soon as operations begin the
cross s-cut will be driven through what
is known as the mother lode Of the
Copper Basin belt. Ore taken from the
Blue Bird shaft located on this prop
erty runs as high as 800 a ton in sill
yer, copper and gold. The mine is To-
Gated about a mile from Iron Springs.

FRENCH MASTERS OF THE AIR

One of the surprising developments
Of the war is that the French appear to
have definitely acquired the mastery of
the air. II have seen French aero
planes observer circulating freely over
the entire front during my visit, -
writes the correspondent of the Brook
lyn Eagle, "but saw not one German
machine. [ never before realized how
complete is the Allies mastery of the
air.. This statement is corroborated
by many other newspaper correspond
ents who have recently visited the
Western line. All agree on the marked
inferiority of the German air service
during the fighting on the Somme. It
is true that neither the French nor En-
glish have attempted to rival the Ger
mans in the construction of huge diri-
gible balloons. 1t has been long time,
however, since the Germans have even
attempted raid on Paris with Zeppe-
Inns. Why the English have not at
tanned the same immunity has not been
made clear, but they are undoubtedly
making progress in developing ma
chimes that will meet the Zeppelins on
equal terms.

INDEPENDENT OF GERMANY

1t is announced that the American
Chemical Society, which will give the
second national exposition of chemical
industries in New York this month, will
take up seriously the question Of manu-
featuring porcelain in THIS country. It
has long been conceded that in this field
Germany has been preeminent. Prus-
sian Royal Berlin porcelain for chemi-
cal work has heretofore never been
equaled. When the supply Of German
porcelain was cut off with the outbreak
Of the war in Europe, American chemi-
cal industries, and especial chemical
laboratories, were hard hit Today, it
is claimed, American pottery manufac-
turers are producing in their own
works and through their own skill and
ingenuity, procelains the equal Of any
produced in Germany. It is said also
that while German makers have been
obliged to import clays fro indifferent
countries because of certain peculiar
qualities required, these ,clays are all of
them available to American chemical
makers.

CLARK TELLS Of
j. Y. PRODUCTION

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 14.-"The
United Verde is now producing about
100000 pounds of copper a month
and this will be increased to 10000
600 pounds as soon as improvements
now under way are completed" said
Senator w. A. Clark in an interview
given out here recently.
"The plant is being steadily enlarg-'
ed" continued Senator Clark, "and ad-
ditional crushing facilities are being in
stalled The reverberatories have been
increased from three to five, and the
fifth blast furnace is being added"
The Wedge furnaces are being in
creased from six to twelve in num-
Der. Mr.. Clark believes that the Eu-
ropean war will continue for year or
18 months more, and he, does not look
for slump in the metal prices after
the war. when the war ends there
will be a great demand from all the
nations of Europe for copper. Why, in
Germany they have needed copper SO
badly that they have stripped the metal
off the roofs of buildings and have sub
stituted wood, and they have taken
copper trolley wires and used them In
war.
All that copper must be replaced
and they cannot furnish it. They will
call on the United States for it. 1
know what am talking about for l
have been approached personally by
some big interests asking me to make
contracts to deliver copper for such
reconstruction work after the close of
the war. We will find our markets
greatly enlarged as soon as the war
closes, and we will see a wonderful
period of prosperity"

RYE GOOD FORAGE
At HIGH ALTITUDE

Replying to an inquiry regarding
the value of rye as a forage crop, DR..
r. H. Forbes Director of the Agricul-
tural alfalfa fields for winter pasture.
| will say that rye is better suited to
the purpose at higher elevations with
in Arizona than in the lower valleys
of the southern part of the state. So
far as l have observed, rye has no ad-
vantage over wheat and barley at the
altitude of the Salt River valley and
lower, in asmuch as it is essentially
cold climate plant not well adapted to
sub tropical conditions. Other things
being equal, rye will grow little bet
ter on poor soils, but this in the irri-
gated valleys of Arizona, considera-
ton would, hardly apply in the irri-
gated valleys of Arizona.

TRANsYLVANIA

Transylvania, which may pass into
the possession Of sRumania, as a result
of the war, is one of the oldest parts Of
the Austro-Hungarian empire. In 1143
German emigrants colonized Transyl-
vania. In 1910 it became an independ-
ent principality. The Turks made it
dependency in 1862, and, after varying
fortunes, it was united to Austria in
1899. There are about 100000 Ru-
manians now living in Pennsylvania
Their forebears areesaid to have come
to the province by permission Of King
Bella ILL., Of Hungary. This monarch
closed his reign in the year 1885, or
thereabout. At that time Austria was
small and sorely beset with wars.
1t is claimed that to-day the Transyl-
vanian Rumanians are in worse state
TIM they were centuries ago. Their cul-
ture is said to be the lowest in Hungary.
The state of their educational facilities
is indicated by the fact that they have
only three teachers for every hundred
thousand inhabitants. The peasants
often share their houses with pigs and
COWS. It is believed that resentment
of these conditions was one of the
things which caused Rumania to de-
clare war on Austria.
And Pennsylvania is desirable terri
tory to possess. It comprises many
mountains and valleys and a few ex-
tensive plains. There are three large
rivers and many smaller ones. The
banks of these rivers are densely wood
ed; and from this feature of it's topo-
graphy the province gets it's somewhat
romantic name. The soil is fertile, and
yields large cropsiof wheat, oats, barley,
pulse, potatoes and fruits. Also good
deal of livestock is raised. Some of the
mineral products found are coal, sui
phur, petroleum. rocksalt, iron, copper
and lead.
Pennsylvania thrusts a sharp salient
into Rumania, giving King Ferdin-
and's country roughly the shape Of an
old shoe. The conquest Of the Austrian
province would give( Rumania a con-
Vex frontier, well fortified by a noun
tain chain. With Bukowina also add
ed to her territory, Rumania would be-
come by far the strongest and most in
fluential of the Balkan states.

HOW TO GET RID
Of ANTS IN HOUSE

AS long as household conditions are
such as to attract ants measures for
getting rid of the insects will be of
little value. The first step in freeing
house fro mthese pests is, therefore,
to clean up all food that may be scat
tered about and keep food supplies
which may attract ants in ant-proof
metal containers, or in ice boxes. Cake,
bread, sugar, meat and similar sub
stances are especially likely to attract
the insects. The use of bats is not
recommended because of the danger
that will serve merely to draw more
insects into the house and thus actual
ly to increase the nuisance Where
it can be safely used however a syrup
poisoned with arsenate of soda has
been found
The formula for this syrup is one
pound of sugar dissolved in a quart OF
water to which should be added 1926
grains of arsenate Of soda This mix
ture is boiled and strained and on cool
ing is used to moisten sponges which
are placed Where they can be reached
easily by the ants. The insects collect
the syrup and convey it to their nests,
SO that the whole colony is ultimately
poisoned. Although this method has
been found effective as has been said,
it should remembered that the arsen-
ate of soda is poisonus to human beings
and to animals as well as to ants and
that-i it's use must be safeguarded with
the greatest precautions. When the
and these are in accessible places, it is
possible to destroy the colonies by in
jecting with oil can or small syringe q
little bisulphid of carbon, kerosene, or
gasoline into the nests. All these sub
stances, however, are inflamable and
precautions must be taken, therefore
common garden or lawn ants which
build their little crater nests around
houses are distinct species from the
true house ants. They may find their
way into the house. Their colonies
may be destroyed by drenching the
nests with boiling water or injecting a
small quantity of kerosene or coal oil
into them. Where larger areas are af-
fected or with a very strong soda
wash prepared by dissolving any
scommon laundry soap in water at the
rate of one-half pound to one pound
of soap to a gallon of water. Another
method is to inject bisulphid of car
bon into the nests; the quantity of the
chemical depending upon the size of
the nest. After the bisulphid of carbon
has been injected, the entrance Ito the
nest should be closed by the foot in or
der to retain the chemical, which will
then penetrate slowly and kill the ants
Although it's fumes are disagreeable.
They are not poisonous to man and
the higher animals.

TOUCHNESS |NMEAT
EASILY OVERCOME

Cheap cuts of meat are easily di-
gested and palatable as well as eco
nomical, if they are prepared in such
a way that their toughness and lack
of flavor is overcome. Prolonged
cooking at a low temperature will
soften the connective tissues or chop
ping the tough cuts will break the
muscle fiber and this also will make
it more tender and more easily digest
ed. The natural flavor of meat may
be retained by careful cooking. Other
flavors may be added by the use of
vegetables such as onions, carrots,
green peppers, turnips or by season
ing with condiments such as sage,
lemon rind, vinegar, celery seed, pepper
sauce, pickles, cloves, currant jelly, or
some good commercial meat sauce.

MERGER Of
j. v CON AND
j. Y. JUNIOR


JEROME, Ariz. Sept. f4.-The Unit
ed Verde Junior group of claims locat-
ed mile and half south of Jerome
has been taken over by the United
Verde Consolidated Copper company.
and will be one of the first properties
developed by that company. Gold and
silver ore running as high as SIS a
ton has been struck on the United
Verde Junior ground, which is tapped
by three tunnels. 1t is planned to de-
velop the property by means of tun-
nels, it being estimated that the
claims can be DEVELOPED to a depth Of
1000 feet of tunneling alone The U. v.
Consolidated, which also owns the Ma
hurin group of claims southwest Of
Camp Verde will begin development
of the U. v. Junior claims in the near
future
The United Verde Junior group en-
braces six patented fractional claims,
a total of some 80 acres. 1t is sur
rounded by the Green Monster, Verde
Combination. Decatur and News
groups.
A great iron capped ledge, over 100
feet wide, cuts squarely across the u
V. Junior claims from east to west
Running into it are numerous feeder
veins.
When the main ledge on this prop
erty was first discovered a tunnel was
driven southwark into the hill to tap
the vein at depth of 800 feet. AS
says showed the quartz iron carbonate
matrix, or sponge, of the exposed gos-
san to carry gold silver values as
high as SIS a ton, and to run from a
trace to two per cent copper
Before it reached the main ledge
this tunnel crosscut a series of small
er veins, all in the oxide zone. Sam
pies assayed from two to twelve per-
cent copper and dollar or two a ton
in gold and silver.
A 50foot shaft was sunk on a thin
feeder vein 80 feet from the mouth of
the tunnel A picked sample from the
bottom assayed ten per cent copper
Tunnel No. 2 was started $50 feet
lower on the sidde of the mountain
than No. and 500 feet farther east.
AT SO feet it entered highly mineral
izew feeder vein of copper sulphides,
bornite and .chalcopyrite.
At the low convenient point on
the claims, 81 No. was started.
1t is 500 feet. low No. l. When work
was discontinued it was in $50 feet
but was still some 1900 feet away from
the ledge, which was the objective
point. 1t cut a feeder vein running
from five to ten per cent copper, and
hetavy with iron pyrites.
Ernest H. Liebel, a mining engf-
neer who examined the United Verde
Junior, pronounced it "easily one of
the best propositions in the district"
He recommended the expenditure of
at least $4,000 in carrying out the
plan of development already under
taken and stated that without doubt
it would uncover great body of rich
ore.
Several fine springs on the United
Verde Junior furnish enough water
for any kind of plant. Half dozen
good camp buildings are on the prop
erty.

Thrift is one of the corner
stones on which manhood must
be constructed."-He Ford, of
Detroit
1t is a fact well known to wise par
ents and teachers that the best way to
learn is by doing. During the coming
school vacation, let your children do a
little work and earn a little money.
They will then appreciate better the
value of money and the Importance of
saving part of every dollar earned.
A young boy who sells Saturday Eve
ming Posts was asked by his sister for
a loan of fifteen cents. He had some
doubts about the prompt return of such
a loan, SO he said:
mo, Mary, l don't want to let you
have that money. 1t took me an hour
yesterday to earn fifteen cents selling
Posts and I'm going to hang on to it
for a while"
There are many ways in which am
bilious boys can make money. A city
boy can run errands, deliver things with
his hand and 1eg-power express wa
gon, caddy on golf course, etc.
A country boy or girl can earn money
by planting and tending garden, or
caring for animals. A young girl in
North Dakota made over $3.50 from a
litter of pigs which her sensible par
ents turned over to her to look after.
Girls in city or country, can help
with the housework, do sewing make
candy and in many other ways make
themselves useful as well as ornamen-
tai.
In every case when a child earns
money he or she should be encouraged
to put some of it into a savings ac-
count. This will firmly establish the
habit of saving.
The Boy Scouts Of America have a
Thrift plank in their platform.
Following their annual custom the
F. B. Sherwood stores Of Los Angeles
opened 100 savings accounts at the Los
Angeles Trust and Savings Bank re-
Gently. These accounts were opened in
the names of worthy newsboys and
other youngsters of the city.
The children of Los Angeles under
the age of sixteen years, 10000 in num-
ber have on deposit in the school saw
ings bank close to $1.O00,0OO, almost
$25 each. This good record is ascribed
to the instruction given in the busi
ness department of the schools
Among the many other good things
citation is doing, it is CO operating with
the American Bankers Association in
the effort to increase the sum total of
thrifty living in this country.
A recent number Of it's 4O-page
monthly magazine, Association Men,
was devoted almost entirely to the
subject of thrift, containing articles
by James J. Hill, Henry Ford, George
w. Perkins, and Others ~The front COW

LOYALTY IN THE NAVY A
NECESSITY

The Springfield Republican calls at
tention to great change that has been
wrought in the personnel Of the British
navy,as well as in the merchant marine,
since the days when the historical i'm
pressment of English-speaking aliens
stirred up war and rumor Of war. In
this change is to be seen, as in a mirror,
the passing Of old and the advent of
new conditions. A century ago, under
the fighting conditions of that time, it
did not matter so much what sort of per-
sons manned the fighting ships, pro-
viding that they would fight Now the
modern battaeship is such complicat-
ed and sensitive thing that the presence
Of a single traitor on board may mean
disaster. Therefore loyalty is a neces-
sity in this service. On the other hand,
in the old days the merchant marine
was a source of national pride, and to
serve in it was deemed privilege, ap-
preciated by Englishmen and in general
for them. Steam and the trend of busi-
ness have revolutionized this. Service
now in the merchant marine means
merely hard labor to be performed by
the men who will work cheapest, or who
may be picked up first. That loyalty
which is indispensable in the navy is
no more given much thought in handl-
ling the ships of peace.

JEROME, Sept. t.-Pending the in
stallation Of pumps to take care of the
heavy flow of water encountered last
week, operations are practically sus-
pended at the Dundee Arizona.
The only work now going forward
is the driving of raise from the adit
tunnel level 120 feet below the collar
of the shaft, to the end of a 40-foot
drift run westward from the 65-foot
point This raise is to provide better
ventilation in the Dundee workings
and also will facilitate the handling of
ore and waste taken out in extending
the west drift. The plan is to drop
the ore and waste down to the tunnel
and tram it out to the surface.
1t is estimated that pumps will be
installed within 20 days and then work
will proceed at the Dundee the same
as before water was encountered The
pumps had practically been ordered
when Engineer w. e. Deity left for
Prescott and Phoenix Wednesday.
