DID YOU KNOW

That in Chicago there is a hold-u
every six hours, a murder every sec
ond day, two suicides a day and an
arrest every seven and a half minutes ?
That four causes of crime are liquor,
lust, gambling and bad company?
That in McGregor, Iowa, Emma j.
Vansickle has just been buried in her
own private cemetery in a corner of
her own farm in the midst of her five
husbands who preceded her to the
grave?
That congress has asked for an APP
preparation of $2S,4OO,0O0 to cover the
expense of the border service-and the
search for Villa?
That in these days when oleomar-
garine or process butter can hardly
be distinguished from the genuine ar
ticle it is well for every woman to
know a simple test or two that will aid
in detecting the genuine from imita
ton? Pure butter if melted, should
be clear; if it is cloudy it is the melted
product. Put a little butter in a spoon
and hold it over flame. If it sputters
and crackles noisily, it is the cleo
margarine; pure butter bubbles with
out sputtering.

BIC STRIKE ON
MIDNIGHT TEST

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Jan. IA five
foot ore body running $27 ton in gold
and silver has been struck on the south
drift at the Midnight Test mine on
Upper Groom creek. The equipment
of the mill plant for cyanide treatment
and the installation of air compressors
is being considered by r. M Merrill
manager of the property. Over $780,
600 worth of ore is now on the dump
and ready for breaking.
A higher grade of gold ore than has
yet been found was struck this week
in the Union mine in the Chaparral
district. The strike was made on the
ESQ foot level where a cross cut driven
from the Wine exposed a high grade
sulphide ore body eight feet in width.

duction of 175,OOO,OOO pounds in 1915.
The production from Nevada will
nearly reach 1OO,OOO,OOO pounds, which
compares with the previous largest
production of S5,2OO,00O pounds in 1918
and with 67,70OOO0 pounds in 1915.
The production of New Mexico will
probably reach 9O,OOO,0OO pounds as
compared with 62,SOO,OOO pounds in
1915.
California, with a production that
may exceed 6O,OOO,OOO pounds, showed
a large increase over the previous rec
ord production of over $4,000, 900
pounds in 1909. In 1915 the production
was 37,60O,OOO pounds
Tennessee alone among the import
ant copper producing states failed to
show a record output The production
was probably slightly below 100000
pounds, as compared with over SIS, 900, :
900 pounds in 1916.

FREIGHT CARS

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Jan. IL. =
Charged with having looted a box car
on a moving train on the Santa Fe
main line three men are being held in
the county Jail here pending the next
session of the federal court. The men
are said to have boarded a moving
freight train west of Seligman and to
have thrown out of a car goods valued
at over $1,000. Caches of boots and
shoes, fine plush carpets and wearing
apparel were found in a dozen places
ranging from one hundred yards to
over mile from the track At one
point mile from the track deputy
sheriffs found eighty two pairs of
shoes while in another cache was
found a bolt of imported plush carpet
that had been rolled by the robbers
for over quarter of mile.
Seligman officers state that there
has been more thieving along that
division of the Santa Fe since early in
December than at any time in the past
twenty years.

NEW MINE
BUILDING To
START SOON

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 12.-Gifts
amounting to $4,000 were received by
the University of Arizona during 1916,
according to figures given out by
President Won KleinSmid. Of this
amount over 100000 was given by
thirteen mining companies operating
in Arizona. 1t will be used for the
new mine building.
/ DR.. R. B. Won KleinSmid, president
of the University of Arizona, recently
went to Phoenix for the purpose of de-
posting with the State Treasurer the
sum of $4,000, which is to be used in
the building of the new home for the
mining engineering departments of the
University.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 towards a new mining building,
provided that like sum be raised
from outside sources the mining COM
panies of the state accordingly donated
100000 for this building, divided in
pfOpOTlIOH 10 their output. Inc DullO-
ing itself will cost in the neighhorhood
of $15O,000 the remaining $25, 900 to be
used for equipment
In addition to this, DR.. Won Klein
Smid recently stated that he had been
assured of a number of private con-
tributions which will enable the Uni
versity to put in one of the finest
equipments of it's kind in the country

they'd go out and bring back Chicago.
Even old Chris himself was looked on
as Kid Stupid, because he claimed the

The sucker is the boy that keeps the
wise guys alive. He'll try anything

to him whether it's three card monte

COPPER PRODUCTION IN 1915
BREAKS LLPREV|OUS RECORDS
Arizona Leads with 675, 600 Pounds, as Compared
With 432,0OO,OOO Last Year

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The pro-
in 1916 surpassed all previous records,
according to the United States Geo
logical Survey, Department of the In
terror Preliminary figures and esti-
mates have been collected by B. S.
Butler, who has received reports from
all plants known to produce blister
copper from domestic ores and refined
copper. At AN average price of about
q cents, a pound the output for 1916
has value of $500, OOO, OO0 compared
with $242, 100000 for the output of
1915 and with $1S9, 100000 in 1913.
The figures showing smelter produc-
ton from domestic ores represent the
actual production of most of the COM
panies for IL months and an estimate
of the output for December. The fig
ures of few companies for November
were not available and these COM
panies furnished estimates for the last
two months OF the year.
According to the statistics and esti-
mates received, the output of blister
and Lake copper from domestic ores
was 1,92S,0OO,O0O pounds in 1916,
against 1888, 100000 pounds in 1915,
and 1924, 100000 pounds in 1913.
The output of refined copper (elec-
trolytic, Lake, casting, and pig) from
primary sources, domestic and foreign,
for 1916, is estimated at 2,311, 900, 900
pounds, compared with 1854, 900, 900
pounds in 1915 and with 1,615, 200, 900
pounds in 1913.
The production of copper from the
mines of the United States for 1916
was more than double that of 10 years
ago and more than four times that of
20 years ago. The profit resulting from
the domestic production was far great
er in 1916 than in any previous year
1t is probably safe to say that it ex-
sceeded $500, 100000.
Foreign Trade and Domestic Consump-
ton
According to the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. the imports
of all forms of manufactured cop
per for the first 10 months of 1916
amount to S97.594,OOO pounds. This
compares with an import of 265, 677, 900
pounds for the first 10 months of 1915.

MINE LOCATIONS

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Jan. 12.-Mine
locations in Yavapai county during
1916 totalled over 1900 according to
figures given out by the county re-
corder here today. This is more than
twice the number of locations made
in 1915. Over 800 water right and
millsite locations were made in the
county during the year. Most of the
mine locations were for copper and
gold

plates, sheets, rods, wire, etc, for the
first 10 months of 1916, as determined
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce amounted to, 655, 472, 900
pounds, compared with an export for
the first 10 months of 1915 of 529, 1885,
600 pounds. The exports for the IL
months of 1915 were 6S1, 200 pounds
At the beginning of 1915 there was
about 100000 pounds of refined cop
per in stock in the United States. This
quantity added to the refinery pro-
duction gives a total available supply
of about 1888, 100000 pounds of re-
fined copper. On subtracting from this
amount the exports for the first 10
months and the estimated export for
the last two months, it is apparent that
the supply available for domestic con-
sumption is materially greater than
the 1,O43, 100000 pounds of 1915, no ac-
count being taken of stocks held at the
close of.the year

Higher Prices in 1916


The average price of copper for 1916
showed marked increase over that
of the preceding year, being slightly
above q cents pound, compared with
ia cents in 1915.
Much of the copper was sold several
weeks or months in advance of delivery
and it is therefore probable that the
actual average price received differs
somewhat from the average of the
daily quotations for immediate deliv-
cry. The general trend of the market
would indicate that the actual price
received may be low that indicated by
the average of quotations.
Record by States
Arizona made record production.
The total may reach 675, 100000 pounds
as compared with 432,000,00o pounds in
1915. This exceeds the total output of
the United States as late as 1902.
Montana, with more than $50, 600. 900
pounds exceeded it's previous record
production of S14,sOO, 900 pounds in
1912. This compares with about 6S,-
100000 pounds produced in 1915.
Michigan, in common with the other
important copper production states,
made a record production The output
for 1916 was about 269,OOO,OOO pounds,
as compared with about 238, 900, 900
pounds in 1915, the previous record
production.

HALIFAX WILL
 NOT CELEBRATE
 CHRISTMAS DAY

Halifax, Dec. 14-With the relief situation so well in hand that its services no longer were required, the Massa achusetts unit, first on the ground here after the great fire and ex- plosion, went home today. The de- parture of the delegation, members of the general committee, declared meant that the city of Halifax, profit ing by its help and it's counsel, was prepared now to handle it's own prob lems.
 The continued cold, however, has retarded work in the strip of ter ritory laid bare by the blast of the ammunition ship and it will be days, sufficiently to enable soldiers and workmen to drag the ruins for bodies known to be there.
 The big public funeral service plan ned for today was postponed until Monday because of the difficulty ot opening graves. After the burial of the dead from the fire zone Camp Hill cemetery, where lie hundreds of those lost on the Titanic and the Bour- goyne, will be full and closed.
 Perhaps the most touching after math of the disaster is the fear gen. orally felt by citizens today that fo1 the first time in its history Halifax will not celebrate Christmas. The dealers have abandoned all plans foI the holiday rush.
 Some effort will be made to make the yuletide the happiest possible un- der the conditions for the destitute and for the bulk of the wounded. Many of the New England surgeons and nurses probably will spend Christ mas here. Already they have plan ned for a real New England Christ mas in the hospitals, especially in those institutions crowded with chil- dren, the majority of whom may be hind for life

BLIZZARD WILL
 NOT INTERFERE
 WITH RED CROSS

A mere trif1e such as a premature
 blizzard is not going to interfere with
 plans for the big Red Cross public
 meeting which is to be held at Bridge
 port High school assembly hall at 8 o clock tonight, According to w. Ros- coe Bassick, chairman of the mem- bership drive, an effort will be made
 to have the meeting all the bigger be-
 cause of the snowfall
 We are going to demonstrate to the world that little mishaps in tai and necessary work of the Red Cross," declared MT. Bassick today, 'and the fact that there is some snow
 on the ground is not going to keep patriotic Bridgeporters from proving that they are heart and soul with the boys who are fighting for victory. '"The Halifax disaster was followed | by terrible blizzard, with a temper ature of 20 below zero, but that didn't stop the Red Cross special trains from going through, nor the Red Cross re- lief workers from being on the job. Neither is Bridgeport's little snow fall going to prevent a big attendance | this evening. It just gives Bridgeport people little better chance to prove
 that they have the right stuff in 1 them"
 Dr. Allan MacRossie, Red Cross
 emissary to France, will be the speak
 CT of the evening. Red Cross workers have been instructed to attend the
 meeting as part of their program, and
 the general public is invited to be
 present and learn of the 'Fbig doings.

To Have Smooth, White,
 Soft Skin All Winter

Does your skin chap Or roughen easily in this weather, or become un- duly red or blotchy Here is a quick easy way to overcome the trouble and keep your complexion beautifully white, smooth and soft the winter long. Just get an ounce of ordinary mer- colized wax at the nearest drugstore and use a little before retiring, as you would cold cream. Upon arising, re- move the coating with sudsy water. The wax, through some peculiar at tribute. flecks off the rough, discolor- ed or blemished skin. The 'worn-out cutic1e comes off just like dandruff only in almost invisible particles. Mer
 colized wax simply hastens Natures work. Used as required, it keeps the face constantly free from devitalized scarf skin and only the healthy, young
 looking skin is in evidence. It's. the best treatment known for weather beaten, aged, muddy, freckled. pim- pied and all unbeautiful complexions.

ST. MARY OF EGYPT.

At the tender age of twelve, Mary left her fathers house that she might sin without restraint, and for seven teen years she lived in shame at Alex andria. Then she went on a pilgrim age to Jerusalem, where she involved many in her sinful pursuits, She was in that city on the feast of the Ex- aftation of the Holy Cross, and went with the crowd to the church which contained the precious wood. Upon beholding the image of the Virgin she realized her sinfulness and vowed from then on to do penance. As she knelt before the image a voice is said to have come to her, saying: Pass over Jordan, and thou shalt find rest" She went into the wilder ness and there in APO A. D., forty seven years after her conversion, the Abbot Zosimus met her. To him she confided that since her turning into the paths of virtue she had been bless ed with perfect peace. It is said that at her request he brought her the sacred body of Christ. She bade him return again after a year. and this time he found her corpse upon the sand, with an inscription, saying, 'Bury here the body of Mary, the sinner"

CAUSE OF UGLY DINING ROOMS

The probable reason for so much ugliness rampant in dining rooms to- day is owing to the fact that some years ago, after the lamentable de- cline of the colonial, furniture was still bought with the general idea that it was for all time, and at any rate, would easily last out the life- time of its owner. But, unfortunately the style of design that arose at that time had few good qualities, except that of service, and the ungainly lines became terribly apparent as soon as the style went out of date.
 Still, many people are saddled with it, and now that so much is being made of the current furnishing and decoration of the home, we simply have to bestir ourselves to keep abreast of the times, and today the latest styles in sideboards and hats are apt to be regarded with equal in- terest. And the most absorbing thing at present to some of us is how to get rid of a vanload of impossibilities and to get a few good things to take their place.
 But get rid of our bugbears we must! And put in their place some such lovely furniture of plain and simple mahogany furniture in the William and Mary design. Never will it be possible to regret having made such 6 choice, no matter what other styles come and go. This is furni- ture worthy of lasting lifetime!

POLO CLUB CASE
 STILL PENDING

Magistrate Corrlgan, in the Harlem Police Court, yesterday morning, re- served decision in connection with the case of the officials and boxers of the New Polo Athletic Club. They were served with summonses about three weeks ago for holding a set of membership bouts at the above club.
 After a lengthy discussion the Mag istrate ordered counsel for both sides to submit briefs and said he would announce his decision next Wednes- day.
 Billy Moore, vice president of the club, was one of the men summon ed to appear in court. Moore placed evidence before Magistrate Corrigan which showed he was not in the vicin- ity of the club during the staging o1 the bouts, before or after. The Magis- trate then dismissed him.
