Yavapai Mines Rx William p. De Wolf

PRESCOTT, Arizona, July, H.
 During the month of June the mines
 of Yavapai county produced about 13. .00O, 900 pounds of copper of an es-
 timated total value of $4000000 based upon an average price of 30 cents per pound. Jerome, and the famous United Verde mine, as usual, headed
 the list in copper poundage and value
 The United Verde Extension mine
 was, however, a close second. Upon completion of it's smelter at Cotton
 wood about } miles south of Jerome
 the Verde Extension will probably equal, if not exceed, the monthly out
 put of it's noted neighbor. Following are the copper output figures for
 June. They are in the main correct, although a closer checking up of late
 June shipments may alter them slightly one way or the other: United Verde mine, 6,S00,000
 pounds; United Verde Extension mine, 5,2O0,0O0 pounds; Arizona Bingham ton mine. 100000 pounds: Blue Bell
 and De Soto mines, 541, ,000 pounds, Copper Queen mine, 30,000 pounds, Butternut and Henrietta mines, 10o, GOO pounds; Commercial mine, 12,0O0
 pounds; Copper Hill mine 2,00U pounds. In addition to the foregoing the Dundee Arizona mine at Jerome sent about 125 tons of copper-gold-
 silver ore during June of general l average of $20 per ton. This ore was
 mined at shallow depth in workings other than those giving off from the main shaft.
 Increasing Output
 The Blue Bell and De Soto mines, located to the south of the Arizona 1cpH 1tnn tod in conjunction with the Humboldt shelter Their output represents about third of the ore treated at that
 plant.
 The ore from the Copper Queen mine, adjoining the Arizona Bing- hamton, was treated in the latter's
 mill. The ore from the Commercial mine, located in Copper Basin, ard owned by the Phelps Dodge company. ; was sent as a Aux to the United Verde and Humboldt smelters. A DOT l, tion of the United Verde Extension ore was forwarded to the Humboldt shelter but the greater portion was shipped to the Phelps Dodge smelters
 at outside points. The Henrietta and Butternut ores were reduced at the smelter at Mayer. The Copper Hill ore was shipped to the sampler at WlcheHDuIS. w lHe ore rom the copper Hill runs high in molybdenite and is being mined and shipped at a gen. erous profit.
 A noteworthy feature attaching to the output of copper from Yavapai county is the increasing poundage | contributed by mines located along
 the belt of mineralized schist which Dr. Walter Harvey Weed, J. H. Shockley and other noted geologists have pronounced to be the south ex- tension of the famous Verde copper helt. An equally noteworthy feature
 IS the number of copper properties in this belt that are in the partially

estimated at 10000 tons of about i per cent copper: that 2S carloads of ore shot down from the lowest out crop, sorted and shipped, carried fl per cent copper, F ounces silver and g in gold About 200 tons of low grade ore is broken down and left where the high-grade ore was sorted. This block samples about 3h per cent copper, ounces silver and $2 in gold. Along the ore zone it is opened up by pits and open cuts, showing good copper values; that there le every indication that future develop ment work will encounter primary ore of grade and character amenabie to concentration"
 Inspiration Consolidated
 In May, with the full mill in opera ton for a part of the month and a betterment IT the recovery of metal values, a new high record for month ly production was established of H. 9OO,000 pounds. In June the produc tion was 11.150,0G0 pounds. It is in dicated, therefore. that the production of the company for the full year will be substantially above 1S0, 0,000,o00 pounds. It is significant tbat with the enlargement of the mill the company IS tIldDitu lo ld1lule d iONel 6ittiG Ol ore and still maintain the high earn. figs of the last few months. It is not unlikely that, in view of the increa S. ing earnings, the company may in crease the dividend rate from SS to $10 annually. Inspirations dividend rate now equals that of Anaconda, and any increase by Anaconda may be met by a similar increase on the part of Inspiration. It does not seem reasonable, therefore, that there should still exist a difference be- tween the market value of these two issues, and an alignment of Inspira- tions market price somewhere to the
 Consolidated Arizona
 The declaration of an initial divi- dend by the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, recently, simply confirms our advice of last December that a disbursement would be maue by the company during l917. The dividend of 10 cents will be paid in two installments, } cents on August 15 to stockholders of record July IS, and cents on November Is to stock holders of record October IS. There after, we understand the board win continue paying dividends quarterly. The reserve fund of $1,000G0 now accumulated will permit of more eff ficient method of operation which should bring about a substantial say ing. Its earnings are now much larger

Government Embarrassed


 BISBEE, Ariz, July 14.-How much embarrassment the closing down of copper mines and ore reduction plants in Arizona and other producing dlvi- sions of the country is going to cause the federal government and it's allies before the summer Is well over. de bends entirely upon how long the strikes are permitted to continue.
 July 1, the refineries had on hand and in transit only about a seven weeks supply of treatable crude cop- per To that time the Arizona sus- pensions of production because of strikes had not entered the refinery calculations in the east. Buttes cur tailment was just beginning to be felt the smelter curtailment having been only briefly in effect. As of present date, Arizona has drawn down her normal copper shipments 100000 pounds for the first half of July. This tonnage is represented in the loss of production from Interna- tional shelter at Miami the smelters at Clifton and Morenci, and the shelter of Old Dominion at Globe. Other smelting plants of the state are continuing in operation and thus far without decrease in output Although
 
 depend for ore have closed down or are operating at reduced output of ore, there was sufficient ore bedded their strike troubles in advance of their strike stroubles to keep the plants going. All of them have from four to six weeks ore supplies ahead at this time, to which such output as the mines are able to make is being added daily. Resumption of operations at the mines and plants which are entirely 0Gt, however. can- not possibly be made during the re- mainder of this month with any et- ficiency that will enable picking up much of the normal production from mines whose smelters, whose fires have gone out. Under the very best of circumstances, Arizona will be short 90,000.000 pounds of copper this month
 Cananea is certain of being out it's month Butte may safely be counted as minus 9O.0OO0O0 pounds. Kenne- colt cannot pick up its 6,O00,00l pounds. Among smaller producers suffering strike troubles there is an- other million pounds loss to be ad- ded, bringing the total July metal shortage from the normal output of May to 74OOO,OOO pounds, provided no more strikes are precipitated. Ex- ports of copper and copper in crude brass during the first four months of the year were at the rate of r. 76,450,600 pounds the year. Total copper production for the year is fig ured at a little more than 1000 000- 900 pounds. So that nearly two thirds of the available copper is go- ing to Europe Normal home con- sumption before the war, took care of about half of the country's copper Added to that demand at this time is the new demand made by govern ment usage in preparation for war
 Very little contemplation of these figures indicates that even were the

substantially above the present divi- dend rate that it would not be sur prising if the quarterly disbursement were increased. It is stated that the company is blocking out ore at the mine and that there may be sufti- cient tonnage in sight to warrant all enlargement of the mill Develop ments underground, it is understood, are adding substantially to the assets nf fha cArnnanN

GROUND HOG DAY.

There is no doubt that the ground
 hog saw his shadow today With all the bright sunshine there was no chance for the little fellow to evade such a sight. That is, if he came out of his subterranean domicile. It Is not likely that he remained indoors on this Candlemas Day. The ground hog never is remiss in his duty. He always comes out on February and observes the wonders of nature. If the weather is clear, and the day sun shiny, and he sees his shadow, he goes back in his abode for six weeks longer knowing full we'll that within that time old King Winter will occupy the throne. Then, when the six weeks have elapsed the little prophet

him What the world has lost in his death is. precisely the same as the valuable facts regarding the means of
 keeping mule on no feed at all
 which 8 certain farmer was accum-
 ulating. and which were unluck1ly cut short by the death of the mule. MT. Hartman recently won a prize for an essay on "How to Live Cheaply.' He was living at total expenditure of three cents a day, and his demon strat1ons of the feasibility of the plan were most conclusive. But right in the midst of a success which was
 beginning to attract the admiration
 as we'll as the attention of the world,
 MT. Hartman has been gathered to
 his fathers, and the doctors say he
 died from want of nourishm ent. And
 this in spite of the factor shall we
 say becauce of the fact ?-that he had
 increased the cost of his ration from
 three to ten cents a day.
 Exper1m entation along this line will therefore have to be continued in other hands Let us not too hastily
 assume that merely because MT. Hart
 man Is gone there. Is nobody in the world to work out the problem of living on next to nothing, In reality,
  mere amateur in the subject. Ac- counts aetee that he was perfectly able to spend more money on his subsistence than three or even ten cents a day. There are those. par ticularlly in the Old World, who are reducing their daily ration to min imum that grows lower and lower on a more serious basis than that; they are reducfnr it because they scannot get any more to eat. Germany IS an organized object lesson of nutrf- tional 1ninimums. Fcd upon syntne- tic beefsteaks,> "ersatZ" eggs and saw dust bread, the civic population of the
 Fatherland is still producing guns and shells at fair rate of speed. The population oi Belgium. under Ger man guidance is experimenting stlli more radically in the same d1recton It Is well known that the Worklne people of England and Ireland are being labored with by the new mn | ister of subsistence to convince them 1 that they have not yet reached tne'l 1 irreducible minimum of protelns ano | carbohydrates. Even in this country l if the price of meat, butter, eggs ano other sustaining food continues to SC
 up, we shall soon have among us good many people who will be en- gagged in an experi1n entation SUD stantially, or insubstantially, similar to the late Mr. Hartman's. not for tht
 purpose of \obtaining data, for essay
 writing but as a matter of nara ne
 cessity. Heaven save them from sucf
 a solution of the problem as tha
 which he has achieved!

Ali present she has merely notified this nation of her purpose to carry on a desperate campaign on the high seas It is conceivable that there will be a very comprehensive modification o1 these plans, once she is reminded o1 the consequences.

One of the least satisfactor3 features of the evacuation of Chihua4 hua province by General Pershing IL the fact that numerous Villa band1, are apparently ready to occupy the ter- ritory and fight for its possession Of the 45O odd MeXicans who raided the American town of Columbus under Villas leadership, the Pershing expe-. dition killed or captured 400; and 21 of them are being brought back with the United States soldiers for trial in New Mexico on the charge of murder

The Woman of 1880.
(Collier's

Women today are constantly being accused of paying more attention than ever before to dress and to the thou sand and two nuances of the mo- ment's fashion. But here is a fashion note from the New York Evening Post of 1S30
 "FIrst Evening Dress-a gown coh- posed of gros des Indes: the color new and beautiful shade between lilac and lavender. Corsage unl' nearly concealed to canezou en occur, composed of white blond net. dis posed a mille plis, and trimmed With a. triple frill of the richest English blond lace, so arranged as to form point in the center at the bottom or the waist before and behind: it is set on narrow. and with little fullness at the bottom of the waist, but broader, and with more fullness, toward the shoulder. The canezou is cut round the upper part, so as to come nearly. but not quite. to the throat, and the fullness is gathered into row O. blond letting-in lace. Sleeve a la Marie de Medicis, with blond man chettes HeaddreSs. crepe hat trimmed on the inside of the brim, with gauge ribbon; the crown is orna- mented with noeuds of ribbon dis posed en papillon with bouquet of white roses placed in the center"
 The real truth Is that the women of 1880 were SO taken up with inn portant topics, like farthingales. pan niers polonaises, and pelerines, that they never since then have had any attention left to give to such trifies as child-labor reform or civic well fare. (That last sentence Is written sarcastic, in the hope of reaching those who declare that women today have gone mad about dress).

Wall Street Emotions.
(New Haven Journal-CourrierO

(New Haven Journal -Courrier.)
 It was not MT. Bernard N. Baruch who either provided the brokers of the country with the alleged "1eak' [, which foreshadowed the presidents 8 peace note, as a result of which inn mense sums of money changed hands in a few days in December, lots of which tumbled right into his bank account or who was himself provided with one. It is clear from the testi- mony of MT. Baruck that he is his own source of leaks, which arg better known to him as lunches. He had a hunch that something was going to drop and he went along with his active imagination accommodating, as we have seen, an independent fortune which, added to what he had before, makes him a captain of that kind of Industry.
 Mir. Paruchs evidence was intensely interesting. We do not recall such simple proposition in the gentle art of making a fortune With a few days. Naturally an artist in the emotions of the street, he kept his eyes right on the news columns of the daily newspapers, morning and afternoon, to keep informed as to the likely at titude of the central powers in parti- cular and the Allied powers in general. He came to the conclusion that, while peace might not be in sight, the slightest reference to peace emanat- ing from any of the belligerent coun- tries would impart to the street a state of nerves. He began to sell short, that is he began to exercise a Judgment which told him of falling prices. He says he needed no leak from Washington to guide his opera lions. All he required was the eye" He was right in his calculations and, in consequence, cleaned up nearly a half million without affecting in any manner the organization, control or prosperity of the concerns in whose stocks he dabbled extensively and in whose welfare he does not appear to he concerned. This simple experience reminds us of the man from the south who. after a few days watching the market, came to the conclusion that what some chap made some other chan lost. We forebear to discuss the difference between this transac- tion and a like transaction aided by the roulette wheel. but, of course, there must be one for the law forbids the one and sanctions the other
 As for the consideration of the 'leak'' itself, as forced by the testi- mony given the Investigating com mittee, it shows in large part Wall street to be the most sensitive center on the face of the earth to tattling gossip. The speculators, not the in vestors. give willing and anxious ear to every story retailed in the neigh borhood in the gamblers hope that stocks will go up or down as the village gossips predict. This is what they call betting when a presidential election comes around, or Harvard comes to New Haven to whip Yale football team, or Chick Jones starts ont to retire Billy the Mascot in ten rounds.

The Way to Congressman Gardners.
 (William Hard in Colliers)

You drop down into a tunnel in the basement of the House Building and proceed through that tunnel into the cellar of the Capitol, and there, talk ing the direct airline route for Gard ner's office, you turn to the right and walk along a corridor for quite a while and sight an elevator and hail it and enter it and rise to the next lev el and turn to the left and walk along a corridor till you get your second wind and find yourself in a tropical jungle of massive, squat pillars through which you pick your way in a generally leftwardly direction and at last, emerge and descend few steps and then descend large number of steps and then descend few steps more and march perseveringlv along 8 corridor and turn briskly to the left and bound up a flight of beautifully designed steps and swerve sharply to the right and stagger down 8 flight of charmingly executed steps into dark hole ;n which there are wooden par titions, and there you are! That's Gardner's office.
 All that the Capitol needs Is to get rid of the elevators and install a bat tery of sure-footed mountain burros.
