MEN EXPECT PRICE ID BE BOOSTED
 AFTER FIRST Of YEAR

Butte, Mont, copper officials voice the opinion that the first of the year will see an increase in the base price i for copper fixed by the federal board, in view of the scarcity of the metal and the decided need of a greater stimulus to spur on the smaller com panies, who are struggling along un- der 23-cent copper with operating costs enhanced all along the line to- gether with the handicap of an acute shortage of experienced miners. But for the fact of an increase in the price of silver, a common accompaniment of copper, many of the smaller copper producers would be compelled to sus- pend operations.
 The following statistics are of in terest as showing the upward climb in the cost of mining supplies:
 A pound of dynamite now costs twice as much as it did in 1914.
 Fuse costs more than half as much again as it did three years ago.
 Bar steel is more than double; plate steel practically has trebled in value.
 Wire rope has doubled.
 A foot of pipe which cost 20 cents in 1914 would now cost more than 40 cents.
 Bolts and nuts have more than dou- bled.
 Shelter brooms and manila rope have doubled.
 Asbestos material has nearly trebled.
 Drill steel has virtually doubled in value the last three years.
 Small tools, such as striking ham mers, saws, etc., have increased at least 50 per cent in three years.
 Generally speaking, according to the figures of the Anaconda Copper com pany, supply costs have increased 100 per cent within three years. The min CT in that time has had his wages in- creased from S3.50 daily to $5.25, an increase of 50 per cent. In the case of the small mining concern the supply cost would assume a still greater per cent of increase as the Ahaconda com pany, maintaining a hardware depart ment, purchases it's supplies in im- mense lots, which the smaller concern is unable to do, and consequently pays higher.

MINERS CALLED
 ID JOIN ARMY; l5OO ARE NEEDED

A call has been issued for recruits to enlist in a regiment of miners. James Uncapher of Mineral Park has just received from the. war depart ment a statement describing the kind of men required and the work to be performed. ''There are no doubt some men in your district" says the letter, "who sooner or later are going to en- list for the war and to whom this min ing service may appeal. We ask that you aid us by sending these men to us now."
 Fifteen hundred men are to com prise the 27th regiment of engineers, as the miners will be known.
 The statement from the war depart ment is as follows:
 The Engineer corps of the United States army has been authorized to raise, by voluntary enlistment, a spe- cial mining regiment to consist of six companies of 250 men each and to be known as the 27th Engineers, national army. This regiment is now being re- cruited. The first company has been formed and is in training at Camp Meade, Md.
 This regiment is to be made up en- tirely of picked men from the various mining sections of the country. All trades and occupations in and around a mine will be represented and each company will have a sufficient number Of men skilled in each trade to enable it to operate as a unit.
 The work to be done is purely mili- tary in character and what is known as "first line" work. It consists of the preparation of underground shell ters for the fighting troops and the placing of explosive mines. This work requires high degree of skill in rapid tunneling construction and involves the handling of all sorts of material from clay and chalk to hard rock. In addition to the regular engineer equip ment, each company will be provided with special tools such as tunneling and boring machines, drills, com pressors, hoists, lighting sets, etc.
 While most of the work of the 27th Engineers will be underground min ing, the regiment will be trained to fight as we'll as to mine. The com manding officer will be a regular army engineer officer, the remaining officers of the regiment being largely drawn from the mining engineers who have volunteered their services and who have been given the necessary training at the officers training camps.
 All men who volunteer for this serv- ice will be enlisted as priYates, but those who show themselves qualified will be raised to the grade of non commissioned officer. Any recruiting officer will enlist men for this regi- ment, but each man must show proper qualifications by way of experience and pass the usual physical examina- tion. All men between the ages of IS and 41 are eligible for enlistment, if not actually drawn on the draft. The enclosed sheet gives full particu- lars of the service and instructions for enlistment.
 The 27th Engineers offers a great for the miners of this

and munitions. We can use the auto mobiles we now have less freely and save gasoline. We can reduce the number of our servants and let our wives and daughters do more of the work. We can do away with the waste fitness of charity entertainments if we go less to the theater and give the money saved to charity.
 "The real horrors in Europe are not on the firing line, but amongst the civil population, who are pinched for the necessities of life and in many cases dying of starvation. If each one of us is not willing to make sacrifices for the war, Germany was right when she characterized us a Nation of Slackers."
Mohave County miner., 1917-11-24

country to show their skill and cour- age. Any experienced mining man who wants first line service in France is urged to enlist at once.
 All men are enlisted as privates and from such will be chosen the fol- lowing for each company, who are paid as follows:
