GOVERNMENT IS FIRST TO HAVE
 NATION COPPER

The country's copper production for the balance of the year 1917 has been requisitioned by the government First requirements to be cared for will be those of the government 1t self, the allies to follow and if any be left manufacturers using copper in arts or for strictly domestic pur. poses will get it.
 Outstanding contracts between pro ducers and consumers will be sus- pended until such time as copper comes forward in sufficient Quanti. ties to enable their fulfillment The price at which contracts were booked will stand, this condition applying not only to domestic manufacturers but to the federal government which had bought copper. yet to be delivered, at higher than 231s cents a pound.
 It is estimated that October require ments of manufacturers who have no war orders on their books may be filled about January next.
 The shortage in production, as evi- denced in refinery yield during Sep tember, estimated at 135, ,000, 900 pounds, against 150,000,000 ounds in August and 20O,O0O.000 pounds in June, will now make itself felt far more seriously than was anticipated when the miners strikes were at their height. Since that time the govern ment has taken charge of the indus. try to the extent of naming the price at which the metal shall be sold and apportioning the metal itself among the users, according to importance and urgency of demand.

The status of whatever cop per may be in dealers or second hands has yet to be defined as has also the copper imported into the United States in an unrefined state
 The Engineering & Mining Journal, upon the basis of which quotations a number of mining companies includ- ing Granby and Old Dominion, sell their product to refiners, has adopted 231z cents a pound as its daily aver age.

Exhibit at State Fdir
 WiU Be Great

If a circus were being advertised. the mineral department of the Ari- zona state fair for this year would be hailed as a Multitude of Marvellous Mining and Mineral Wonders - A World of Instruction and a Riot Of Fun"
 While it cannot be said that it will live quite up to this description, spe- cial efforts are being made to make this department stand out very prom inently among the good things that are to be at the State Fair from No vember 12, to IT.
 The exhibits of this present year will be on a far more elaborate scale than ever before attempted. owing to the fact that the new S30,000 min ing building makes possible things which never before could be attempt ed.
 From a. m. to 5:30 p. m. every day of the fair, there will be some thing worth while going on at the mineral building. and this building will be the meeting place for mining men, prospectors and farmers with holes in the ground during the en- tire week
 The work of developing the mineral department of the fair Is under the direction of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines. an organization which has both the facilities and the energy to make it an exhibit worth while. and one which will be long remembered.

both in this country and abroad. The
shortage in the worlds food crops
last year, taken in connection with
conditions created by the, war, brings

this country should, by unfavorable
weather conditions or by a lessened

yield, We would have almost famine
conditions. because we will go into
the next crop practically barren of
food supplies.
Nothing less than a bumper crop
of grain will save us from exorbitant-
~ high prices for wheat and corn
next winter. 1t is important that the
whole country should understand this
situation, but it is doubly important
that the farmers of the South should
understand it and plant the largest
acreage in grain which they have
ever had in order to save themselves
from having TO pay the highest prices
they have ever paid for their food
stuffs.
Every business man IN the South
should do all in his power to urge
upon Southern farmers the planting
of grain and the raising of foodstuffs
of all kinds this spring and sumner.
1t is harly possible to predict what
may happen to cotton. The price,
Judged by the worlds demand, ought
to be high, but in view of the I'M
certainties of conditions here and

prove a misfortune by forcing prices

fenses consisted of two strong re-
doubts, one of which was known as

the machine guns in the redoubts and

That Monster
Fighting Tank,

The monster iron travelling tank
which England is using in French
and Belgium this month appears to
be a success. The Associated Press
tells this:
The great squadron of "tanks"
which went into action with the Bri-
fish infantry at dawn Tuesday prov
ed their right to place among the
modern engines of war. The Battle
of Flanders furnished the most COM
prehensive test of the worth of these
monsters as fighting machines which
has yet been given, and they came
through the ordeal with flying colors,
Notwithstanding the fact they were
operated under the most trying con-
ditions.
The opening of the conflict saw a
concentration of tanks. Fewer tanks
by direct hits than in any previous
engagement The total of the casu-
alties among the tank crews was re-
markably low, and they were among
the men. who deliberately left the
cover of their iron fort and worked
in the open under machine gun fire.
The damage the tanks did to the
enemy defenses was enormous.
That the enemy is extremely
afraid of the tanks is without ques-
ton, and in many instances the Ger
mans surrendered freely on their
mere appearance.
One tank, which was truddling in
the dark toward the front before the
battle, encountered railway wagons
standing at crossing. The operator
of the tank did not see the obstacle
and hte tank went through the train
as if it were made of cardboard and
continued its numbering way.
At the defenses near Frezenberg a
spectacular battle occurred. The de-

doubt in front of the wood was ia
ken after fierce fighting between
the guns Of a tank and those of the
little fort.
Beyond the redoubt the tanks
found themselves under a steady hail
of machine gun bullets, but they
lined UP on the edge of the woods
and for hours continued to sweep
them with their guns until all con-
cealed machine guns had been
searched out and the Germans
forced to retire.
Tow tanks "ditched" temporarily
near Frezenberg. The enemy, be-
lieving the tanks helpless because
they were stuck in the deep mud, ad-
vanced in the hope of capturing the
monster machines. The tanks open
ed fire and moved the Germans
down in large numbers. Scotch
troops finished the replse with bay
onets.
No bombs were used against the
tanks in Tuesdays fighting, for the
Germans discovered that they might
as well bomb the side of battle
ship. Nothing short of direct hit
by heavy shell could put tank
out of commission. One tank was
attacked by an aeroplane, but the
aeroplane, after buzzing about like
an angry mosquito over a rhinoce'
ros, finally sailed away to seek cas-
Ter prey.
The strain on the crews shut w
in the tanks with the guns is tremen
dous when the work is protracted, as
it was Tuesday. One tank was il
constant operation for twenty-foul
hours.
