300 MINING PROPERTIES
 IN YAVAPAI PRODUCING l

Modern milling methods having given commercial value to their sulphide' ores, they are now pro ducing a concentrating ore that car ries high values in lead, zinc, iron and tungsten in addition to it's gold and silver contents.
 Forerunner of Future
 The foregoing list of active proper ties, while by no means complete, will serve to illustrate the extent of the mining work underway in Yavapai county; and may be accepted as in- dicative of the period of mining pros perity upon which the county is just entering. Also. it may be accepted as the forerunner of largely increased mining operations later the current year. All of the properties mentioned dlt C4QAppCu NlNi ' and many of them with mill machin- cry. Most of them are productive, and the remainder are in the near productive class. Mine and mill ma chinery has of late been installed at a number of other properties as well, and in numerous other instances mine and mill machinery has been or dered. The management of the sAri- zona Mine Supply Company of Pres colt, estimates the value of the mine and mill machinery recently installed at upward of $25O.OO0.
 Mining Investors and mining engi- neers are devoting more attention to this section of Arizona than ever be- fore. That their attention is favora- ble is demonstrated by the amount of money that has and is becoming avail able for mine development use, and by the number and importance of the transfers of mining property.

HEAVY WATER FLOW
 STOPS DUNDEE WORK

Owing to the heavy flow of water. the work of sinking the Dundee-Ari- zona shaft to depth cannot be resum- ed till a new compressor is received and installed.
 A pump at the 4o0-foot station and a sinking pump in the shaft just be low are lifting 42OO gallons of water al hour, but are making no impress ion on the flow. They are working only to half capacity. and cannot be worked to full capacity with the pres ent 350-foot compressor.
 Superintendent James w Hubbard informed the directors of the state of affairs as soon as he became convinc- ed that the flow was heavier than had been expected and they replied that a 500-foot machine had been ordered by wire. This, it is believed, will be sufficient to operate the pumps and also the drills when the shaft is dry.
 The flow of water is through the shattered lime formation and across the shaft. When the pumps are stop ped the water rises only foot or so. O,r WT.-t A [d. Q- 0,lx

RELIEF ASSOCIATION ACCOMPLISHES MUCH;
 NEEDS MORE FUNDS
December January Report Shows Scores of Families Helped, With More in Need in Warren District.

At recent meeting of the board of control of the Warren District Relief Association, a financial statement and brief report of the work accomplished by the association for the past two months, December and January, were given by the general secretary, Miss Esther Cummings, the financial state ment showing an expenditure of S59SS1 during the two months men, tioned.
 Twenty-one different families re- ceived aid at various times during found that aid was necessary, all of such families being destitute on ac- count of illness in the family, or where the husband had either died or desert ed his wife and children. as well as from lack of employment. as it often happens that people come here with their families and are unable to find work for several weeks or months, and are obliged to receive more or less help from some source until they can help themselves.
 At the Christmas season forty-seven families were given a good Christmas supply, the Elks lodge having made up baskets for nineteen of these whose names were provided by the associa- tion, while the liberal donations from the churches, clubs and individuals helped considerably in supplying the remaining twenty-eight families at that time. Some Of these families were not in actual need, but were un- able to afford any lUXuries
 Transportation was provided by the association in nine cases. six of which were on account of illness, when it vas found necessary to send the per sons back to their friends to be cared for, or to a different climate. but such people never were sent away merely to be a charge on other con- nunities.
 Upward Of sixty meals. as well as a large amount of clothing, were sup piled to transients. who appeared to De worthy and anxious to find work, as well as to those who were i'll and unable to work About three hundred articles Of clothing were given Ou; turing the two months ro the various antilles, individuals and school chil- lren in need Of them, most of which lothing was donated.
 Employment has frequently been ,ound for women and girls. and the mining companies have also co-operat- d with the association in giving work O men having families to support. 7henever it was possible to do so.
 As Dr. A. V. Dye has moved To Douglas. Mir. William Saben, chief clerk of the Copper Queen mines of ice, was appointed to act on the board of control.
 The finances being now somewhat less than at the beginning of the fis- al year of the association. the board lecided to ask the finance committee O posed of Messrs. F.. A. Tovrea and ". E.. Mckee, to call upon business irms in the District who are not now
 0ntributing. and obtain further sub criptions for the support of the work his will probably be done in the
 ear future. as the association is con tinually being called upon to care for
 ases similar to those mentioned in the report of the general secretary yho are unable to obtain the neces- sary aid in any other way.

The 1917 Assessment Roll.

Assessor L. G. Smith has just fairly
begun work on the 1917 assessment
roll for Bossier Parish. He will
assess the property Of Wards One and

wards of the parish. They are: For
Ward Three, ]. T. Many; for Ward
Four, ]. B. Keoun; for Ward Five, J.
H. Simmons; for Ward Six, F. F..

Assessments will be made on about
the same basis as heretofore, and the
old ruling of household property in
the value of $500 being exempt still
holds good. You will quite likely be
asked the cash value of your prop
erty. The Board Of State Affairs has
demanded of all assessors that such
information be shown in their re-
ports. The Assessor or any of his
deputies are vested with the authority
I to place under oath any person and
ask questions relative to his or her
assessment. They also have the right

counts Of any taxpayer to determine
either the description or value OF the
taxpayers property. Further, you
may be required to state under oath
that your assessment as you have
given it in represents true descrip,

state have the right to force US to
dip our cattle without any regard to
our wishes or interests, it seems to
me that it would be better for them
to take all of our cattle that are in
the tick infested district and sell
them and take the money and pay
themselves for their trouble. Then
after the ticks have disappeared, and
if there is any money coming to us
maybe they will buy us some biooded
cattle that will give US lots of milk
and butter and plenty of fine beet
without having to be fed.
Starvation causes my cattle to be
scrubs, and kills more of them than
all other causes combined.
