The selection of the past years Picking the leaders In other fields of sport Is sometimes a puzzling affair. With dependable dope on all their performances, however picking the leaders of field and track sport is comparatively simple. And a glance ar the records of last year shows that chief among the field and track stars are Ted Meredith and Arlie Mucks, both of whom surpass the best of their competitors in several branches of the sport.
 Arlie Mucks, the large Wisconsin discus thrower and shot butter. out classed all of his college rivals in both of his particular fields. He threw the 16 pound ball distance of IS feet and inches, and made a new record with the discus by hurling it 155 feet and inches. LiVersedge of California comes second to Mueks in the shot put with a record of 46 feet and , F inches.
 Ted Meredith. the University of Pennsylganias star runner. gets the honors in both the half mile and quarter mile events. His best time in the half mile event is 52 1-5 and he holds the quarter mile record with 47 4-5.

United States geological survey, de- partmeni of the interior The notable output of copper and the high prices of metals both assisted In this increase of l23 per cent.
 The productlv of gold from Ari zona mines increased from $4166 025 Tn 1915 to approximately $4427 900 in 1916. an increase of over six per cent. The production of gold from copper ores in most counties was nat urally greater than in 1915, but there was q marked decrease in the output of bullion from amalgamated and cyanide mills. particularly in Mohave and MaIicopa counties Several pew gold mines were added to the list during the year. especially in the Oatman camp. Mohave county, bpt the production was not sufficient to offset the decline in the output of the older properties. A new z00-ton mill was being completed for the United East ern property. and considerable ore was opened al the Big Jim and Gold Ore mines.
 The production of silver from the mines increased from 5.649. 020 ounces in 1915 To q record output of about s.S2S. GOO ounces m 1916. As the mar ket price was much higher the value increased from $2.S64,05S to nearly $4. i90 GOO. an increase of nearly fifty seven per cent in value. There was no great change in the production from the Commonwealth property, which Is principally Q silver producer so the increase is to be credited largely to the remarkable output of copper ore.
 All Records Broken
 The mine output of copper sur passed all records and estimates as it increased from 459,9T22g5 bounds in 1915 10 approximately 693. 000 0o0 pounds in. 1916. The value of the output on account Of the unusual mar ket. increased from $se4s5I52 to nearly SEQ 0o0 0a0 The increase of ] g per cent in the value of copper alone in Arizona was therefore more than the value of the total output of the state Ip the previous year. All the smelling plants of the state were worked at full capacity and made much greater shipments of copper bullion. The plant at Sasco, in Pima

United States ore being 150 million dollars. Lead also shows a large in- crease, the 75 million dollar output being a gain of more than fifty per cent.
 With all this activity in metal pro- duction the coal mines have had to meet a heavy demand, so that the bituminous coal output has now passed the half million ton mark, an increase of 12.5 per cent over the previous year. Coke production increased thirty per cent and it is gratifying to note that by-prOduct coke made the largest gain. which means a cores bonding gain in benzol and other val uable byproducts.
 Again the oil wells have given new record for petroleum yield, the estimate of marketed production of crude petroleum for 1916 being 292 million barrels, or II million barrels more than in 1915.
 Another 1nineral product which furnishes an index of business condi- tions is cement, the 1916 production of which is estimated to be five mil : lion barrels in excess of the output of the previous year, while the ship ments were even greater, aggregating 94.500 900 barrels, with the outlook reported as good for the new year "The reports received from the Sur vey's western offices contain most significant mining records Every western state shows a large increase in yield of metals. Arizona leading with a gain of leo m llion dollars over last year, while Utah and Montana ! together report another 100 million dollar gain. Alaska also had it's best year, contributing st total value of more than S50.000000 this year. or over fifty per cent in excess of any previous year.

MCCORMACK INTO ART MART The Tenor Bought Rembrandt for
 s15o,00o

Some idea of the wealth that John McCCmnac0. the tenor, has accumu lated during his public career may be gleaned from the fact that he bought Rembrandt painting in New York the other day for s1J0. .000 And he did not stop with tt.e purchase of this inc painting, either. for he bought q less widely known Rembrandt and d Whistler. The prices of these last two works or art were not announced.
 Alr. Mccormack started as an art collector last summer, but not until more recently has he entered into competition with .Americas richest collectors. His three paintings bought at New York were obtained only after spirited bidding.
 II was for the Portrait of Rem hranGts Sister that Mccormack paid the high mark. This painting. comes from the collection of the Mar quis dc Carcano Of Paris. Rem Drandts sister bears q striking re- semblance to the great painter. though distinctly feminine, with hair of a red and fluffy sort. The portrait was painted in 1852. when Remrrandt was comparatively young man.
 The other Rembrandt bought by Mccormack is The Rabbi" once CT. roneolsly displayed as The Portrait oI BufSomasler This painting comes from the collection of Sir John ard Sir Audley Nreld of sWitshire England. and was painted in l645. The Whistler is a "A Nocturne; Sea Piece"

 The treatment has followed hygienic and dietetic lines, with special atten- tion to symptoms and conditions as they arose. I am more and more con- vinced from year to year that the most important feature in the suc- cessfuI treatment of pulmonary tuber- culosis is a strict attention to the daily routine of the patient. regulating, by means of the necessary discipline. his smallest activities, and permitting ex- ertion only to the amount that a care full study Of his chest and general con- dition leads one to feel would be safe in that particular case, and always erring upon the side of conservatism. I consider in this work that sanatorium discipline is of the most importance.
 Many patients still have the idea that sanatorum is the last place to which a patient should turn. In fact many think a sanatorium is a place where patient should go to die. If this idea could be eradicated from their minds the death rate from tuber- culosis would be much less, and the disease would be less prevalent
 Again l would call attention to the beneficial effects of our summer cli- mate in Phoenix. My experience in the past year has coincided with that of the previous two years, in that have noticed the actual lung condition of the patients who renamed during the summer months shows more im- provement than during the winter months.
