 LONDON, May 9. - The war has developed the human falcon"
 Aerial fighters and aerOnautical ex- perts throughout Europe today are discussing Germany's super-hawk, Lieutenant Immelmam.
 Advices just received in Englano from the vicinity of Lille, France, and from Germany tell for the first time the falcOnish methods of the champion Teutonic Fokker Flyer whose total bag to date is officially announced as fifteen allied aeroplanes.
 Immelmann's secret of offensive air fighting is extremely simple. He sights his quarry-an Allied aero plane bent on reconnaissance duty or aerial photography, somewhere over the German lines near Lille The Falcon leaves the ground and wings to a great height, an altitude of 13,- 900 feet or more.
 When he has manouvered over his adversary, he sets his planes and makes one long, terrific, downward swoOp. The plan is to pass diagon- ally behind his opponent at the rate of perhaps 200 miles an hour, His machine gun is primed and ready. When he enters a prescribed area the bullets begin to fly.
 Just like. the falcon, that member of the hawk family which tries once and strikes it's mark or misses, Inn melmann either bags his "bird" at one swoOp or wings back to his aero drome a failure. He never returns to attack. He empties one drum of bull lets, and hit or miss, continues his dive until it takes him home.
 In Germany Immelmann is na- tional hero. He is called ''The Eagle of Lille."
 More graphic details of Immel- mann's method of attack are contain ed in a letter just received in Lon don from Lieutenant R. J. slade of the British Flying Service.
 Slade is one Of the German Falcons fifteen victims and now a prisoner at Furstenberg.
 Slade and his pilot, Captain Darley, Royal Flying Corps, were on recon naissance duty over the German lines near Lille. The Falcon saw them.
 Suddenly from somewhere out of the air, Immelmann swoOped down behind us" declared the British officer "He opened fire with his machine gun before we were aware of his presence"
 The stream of lead from the Fokker riddled the BritOn's petrol tank. Cap tain Darley, in charge of the controls, tried to escape by a sudden nose dive. The Falcon followed with accuracy. A steady stream of lead found it's mark Captain Darley was shot through the right arm, while the thumb of his right hand was reduced to pulp.
 In midair, thousands of feet above the earth, the letter explains, slade

 The company is capitalized for $5O0.- OO0 Of the 500,000 shares, Mackay and Stevens received 275,00O for their prop erty. The remaining 225,000 shares of capital stock were subscribed for by a local syndicate
 The surface indications of the Dun dee claims are practically the same as on the United Verde Extension group, but the collar of the main shaft is on ground 200 feet lower than the collar of the U. V. Extension shaft. In addition It has been proved that the lime cap- ping is one hundred feet less in thick ness than the lime that overlies the ex- tension. The U. V. Extension struck values at 900 feet, and it is believed that the Dundee-Arizona will enter the zone of enrichment at 500 feet It is now down over 200 feet and is being sunk at the rate of three or four feet day.

Flotation for Cinnabar

ln view of the present high price of mercury and thc frequent references to mercury ores it may interest readers io know that cinnabar can be treated very successfully by flotation. The diff ficblty in treating this ore by mechani- cal concentration seems to be that with coarse crushing the large particles of cinnabar are for some reason thrown or floated into the ganque, although a good saving is made on the fine ma tcrial, while if the whole ore is crushed fine before tabling some of the mineral is reduced too fine to be held on the table and goes off in suspension with the tailing
 By crushing the ore to pass sixty mesh We have succeeded in obtaining very high recoveries. by flotatien both with the Minerals Separation type of machine and also with the CallOw
 For instance: A sample of Califor- nis ore assaying 01 per cent mercury crushed to pass 50 mesh and floated gave a tailing of O.O1 per cent as re- ported by one assayer. and zero as re- ported by another shoying 90 per, cent and 100 per cent extraction respective ly The amount of concentrate recov- cred was 2.17 per cent of the origina weight and assayed 4.15 per cent mer- cury. but as a high-grad product wa. not required. no attempt was made [, raise the value above this point.

Arizona Manhattan

The Arizona Manhattan company. formerly the Troy Manhattan com pany, owns extensive properties at Troy, which is six miles northeast of Kelvin and almost on direct line drawn from Ray to Hayden. The com pany's holdings consist of 50 claims, with an area of about 900 acres The mine has about six miles of openings, including something like 1000 feet of tunnels, the longes of which, the Alice tunnel. is about 1,700 feet long. There are four shafts on the property. includ- :ns 500-foot two compartment main working shaft. The claims lie in the Dripping Spring range, and are located on the Christmas and London Arizona ore zones.

Calumet and Arizona

Calumet and Arizona is reported to have earned $l,250,000 net in March of this year. This means earnings of about S2 per share in one month of op- erations and, figured exactly, means a rate of s23.40 per share per annum. On the present rate at which dividends are being paid, the company is earning the annual dividend every four months. or lis capable of earning dividends this year at the rate of SS per share for the next three years
 For the year ended December 31 1915, Calumet and Arizona produced 65,26S,910 uounds of copper as against ] 52, 667, ,929 in 1914. For the present year 1 it is probable that the company will in- 1 crease this production by a substantial amount, for the management is taking important steps in this direction now Most important is the fact that the new 1 smelter at Douglas is to be enlarged l by the installation of two reverberatory | furnaces shortly.
 The investment of the company ir the New Cornelia property is a factor ! that should not be overlooked Calu- met and Arizona owns 76 per cent o1 the 100000 shares of the New Cornelia outstanding. These shares have ad- 1 vanced lately to 17 and the company i.
 said to be earning better than $4 pe1 share. New Cornelia should produc,
 30,OOO,OO0 pounds of copper alone thi.
 year at cost of ' cents d pounds. Con.
 sidering that this property was paid fo and developed out of earnings of Calu
 met and Arizona. an important facto

 is now present which has not eXiste,

 It was in 1911 that Calumet and Ari zont exercised it's option on the Ney

Cinnabar

Very few improvements have been made on the treatment of quicksilver ores or their treatment ha sbeen given but little attention by the general run of those interested in mining. It is an vdd metal and but few have given it attention until the present time when it. along with other of tho rarer metal type have become of great import and of general demand. As for quicksilver no such demand was ever known in it's his tory. pr such high prices attained.
 ln the process for the recovery of the elusive metal considerable loss was expected and was accepted as a part of She process. But the low grade ores and especially those in California, have demanded attention and endeavor to make a greater saving in the process of their reduction an6 treatment and very satisfactory results have been obtained
 But we have often called attention in these columns to the possibilities of treatment of these ores by the flota- tiou process and reprinted several ar ti,lcs on the subject, all showing the success of such treatment. further article on the subject we print this week. It shows beyond any question oi doubt of even treating very low grade ores with very trifling loss. If sucf low grades can be treated successfully then there should be a great future fol the deposits north of Phoenix as out side of the rich veins and streaks there is an incalculable amount of low grad, material which has the possibilities O averaging a higher grade than thos' worked at profit in California.
