Early in the game, Jones decorated his flivver with two good sized American flags, standing up- right back of the headlights.
 Somewhere, he discovered small Union Jack of Great Britain and at tached it to the radiator. Yesterday. somebody suggested he go the limit and include the tri-color of France It took but a moment to look up the French flag in the dictionary Now, Jones has France and England, way ing between the Stars and Stripes.

TO UTILIZE THE

WASHINGTON, April 2. - With the object of quickening the industrial development of Alaska that is expect ed to follow the building of the gov ernment railway there, the interior department, through its bureau oi mines, has recently made a number of tests as to the quality of the min eral resources there with encouraging results.
 A quantity of Ignite, type of low grade coal that does not stand trans portation because of its tendency to dry up and blow away, was shipped in water-tight sacks to the bureau from the Nenana field with the purpose of finding out whether or not it could be manufactured into briquets and made available for shipment.
 According to a report made to Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines, this Ignite was not only briquetted successfully. but it was found to contain in this form nearly double the heating and steaming val ue of the original Ignite.

Up to late hour last night, no county officer had registered a pro test against the changes in salaries wrought by the new county classifca- ton bill, which went into effect as regards Yavapai county. when the board of supervisors received County Attorney Mitchells approving report yesterday morning. As matter of fact, IA county officers, ranging in dignity from the judge of the Su- perior court to the lowliest stenog- -apher, received substantial raises in their stipendiary emoluments. The total raise in salaries IS S5.200 per year, with the possibility that this amount will be increased if the board of supervisors, as empowered by the new law, chooses to lift salaries of deputy county officers, not specifically raised in the law.
 It figures out like this:

MINERAL OUTPUT OF NEW MEXICO
 INCREASING

SANTA FEE, N. M., April 4. - In- creases in copper production chiefly are responsible for the increase in New Apexico's total mineral produc- ton as shown in the recent report of the State tax commission on mine outputs The increase centered large ly in a single company's mines in Southwestern New Mexico, though every copper producer showed gains.
 The gross output was found by the tax commission to be approximately S35, 1000, 900, few small producers not having reported at the time the re- port was framed and the board esti- mating their output on the basis of returns for the previous year. On this basis, the met" production, on which the mining companies will pas taxes this year, was fixed at Sl7,- 24S.O0O
 Last year the gross production was found to be $22,4S9,OOO, with a net production of Sl0,35S,000. A single company produced ore valued by the commission at slo,21o,0O0.
 The two largest producers of coal had outputs valued at S2,o03,0O0 and S2,2S4,000 respectively.
 Grant county, with met" output valuation of Sl4,51 900, will produce the greatest portion of the mine tax revenues. Colfax was the only other county with a net mine output valua- ton of over Sl,0O0,000.

TWIN BUTTES SECTION
 ATTRACTING ATTENTION
(From Wednesdays Daily.l

The Twin Buttes mining district is rapidly nearing that stage where it will be regarded as one of the great copper producing camps of tle South west. Away from Arizona it has hitherto been but little heard of, and even until quite recent date was local ly only regarded as the home of a few small leasers who from time 10 time made irregular shipments of ore to the custom shelter at Fl Paso and Douglas.
 Today the camp in every sense of the word is live camp, and a num- Der of mines are shipping high-grade ore to Fl Paso and elsewhere for treatment.
 To Mir. Bush, Butte miner, much of this activity is due. With conh- dence born of long experience in min ing the red metal, he first acquired the Minnie claim, and in a short time took out several hundred thousand dollars. Then he acquired other claims, among them the well known Glance, where the previous owner had left of work only a few feet from a great ore body. MT. Bush's shipments of ore run as high as S5,O00 per month, or at the rate of So00,0O0 per year, and they could be increased were the facilities for smelling the ores improved.
 But the operations of Mir. Bush are not the only ones which are attracting

 The law provides that all deputies may be raised by the board not to ex- ceed the salary of the chief deputy of this office All these deputies are ap- pointed by the officer under whom they work, with the sanction of the board of supervisors.
 The total salaries of officers listed above under the old law was S2S,6O0 per year; under the new law, the amount is S33,SOO per annum.
 There was talk of instituting a friendly suit to test the validity of the law, but Attorney General Wiley E. Jones opined it was O. k. and the county attorneys are advising their boards of supervisors 10 allow the warrants to be issued in the new amounts. Yavapai county is county of the first class, along with Cochise. Maricopa and Gila under this new law, which bases classification on as sessed valuation. Cochise is valued at about Sll9,OOO,OOO; Maricopa at N9,OO0,00O; Yavapai at S58,0OO,O00. and Gila at S5l,O00,000 It is said that with the United Verde Extension as an all-year producer and with in creased valuations on other mines and new mines becoming assessable, the valuation of Yavapai county for 1917 will be in the neighborhood of &0,00OOO0.
