KELLY U-B0AT
CHIEF IS JOKER.
Commander of German Subma-
rine Shows Vein of Un-
German Hum0r.
IS HERO OF MANY STORIES
When Not Laying Mines He Pulls
Franks That Amuse American Sea-
men-Pays Two-Days' Visit
At Dublin Hotel.

Base of American Flotilla in British
Waters.-There Is German submarine
commander who is known throughout
the American flotilla as kelly" HIS
real name is something quite differ
ent, but the American sailors promptly
dubbed him "Kelly of the Emerald
isle," and the name will stick in the
songs and stories of the navy as long
as the great war is talked about.
"Kelly" earned his name by his dis
play on various occasions Of rich
vein Of quite un-German humor. he
has become the hero of numberless sto-
ries told in forecastle and on quarter
deck. Not all of these stories are true,
and probably most of them have grown
In the telling.
"keIIy" Franks TantaIIzln0.
"Kelly'' commands a mine-laying o.
boat which pays frequent visits to the
district patrolled by the American de-
stroyers. When he has finished his
appointed task Of distributing his
mines where they will do the most
harm he generally devotes few min
utes to q prank Of some kind. Some
times he contents himself with leaving
q note flying from buoy scrubbed In
schoolboy English and addressed to his
American enemy. On other occasions
he picks out q deserted bit of coast
line at night and goes ashore with a
squad Of his men for saunter on the
beach, leaving behind placard or a
bit of German bunting as reminder
Of his presence.
His most audacious exploit, how
ever-if the legends of the forecastle |
are to be believed-was trip which |
he made several months ago to Dublin,
where he stayed two days at leading
hotel, afterward joining his U-boat
up the west COAST. He is
said to have informed the British of
MS exploit by leaving his receipted bill

that certain interests in Duluth sent
word to Commander McMunn that II

verified statement that Commander
McMunn replied by going to Duluth and
walking unarmed and unattended up

city. But no attempt was made to do
him violence.

Gently said: "Just shaking hands now
with Commander McMunn gives you
the idea that he is a jolly good fell

tell you that he is also a jolly good
sailor, jolly good fighter, and jolly
good business man, and they will tell
you also about his foresight hind

Just a word of history about Com
mander McMunn who, in addition to
his other duties, is assistant command
ant of the Ninth Tenth and Eleventh
naval districts with headquarters at
the Naval Training station at Great
Lakes which has the task of turning
thousands Of fresh water plowboys
into saltwater sailors. An engineer
known nation wide, an expert in steel,
he enlisted in the Illinois Naval militia
as an ordinary seaman in 1894. Serv-
ing through the several grades he
emerged after the Spanish-American
war as an ensign, and since has served
n each grade until he reached the
rank. He holds an unlim-
ted masters license and also a chief |
license of unlimited tonnage, |
ind perhaps is more familiar with the
Great Lakes than any other skipper
perating on them.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Moscow Experiences

Strengthened by Moscow Experiences
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary disor-
ders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use a re-
liable kidney tonic. There's no other
kidney medicine so we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Moscow peo-
pie rely on them. Here's one of the
many statements from Moscow people:
Mrs. J. M. Fuller, BIG S. Asbury St.,
says: Until few years ago I suffered
quite bit with kidney disorder. There
was dull, constant ache through the
small of my back and my kidneys Boz
thered me all the time. I was dizzy.

EVEN BRYAN READY TO FIGHT

William Jennings Bryan does feel quite peace
full when he resigned from President Wilson's
cabinet In Boston the other day he put the present
situation in a nutshell when he said: "The out
standing fact is that in the war; that it is
war, and that must stand together and fight it
through. And the anxously longs for peace,
the loyalty should support ones government

WE WILL WIN THE WAR

That man John j. Pershng has the right idea. He
does not say much but what he does say Here
is the word he sends to the American people after
thorough study of the situation abroad
"Tell them that there is ground for the heresy
that Germany cannot be beaten Germany beaten
Germany must be BEATEN and Germany will be beaten"
That's the right kind of talk. None other should be
permitted anywhere under the American flag. There
be but ending to the war-complete victory for
the United States and her allies The that is
brought about the peace will be restored and
peace will come in any other way.

MANY VISITORS ID
 WEAVER DISTRICT

(From Chlcride Section Daily Miner)
 Frank Goodday was in from the Weaver district the first of the week and reports that things are booming in that section. He stated that many people had visited the section recent ly and that the many properties were becoming active. On his own claims he has reached a depth of about 50 feet in the shaft and the ore is show ing up better with each shot. Mir. Goodday is working four men on his property and as soon as the develop ment work reaches a stage where more can be used the force will be increased.
 Early in the year Mir. Goodday plans to erect several substantial buildings at the camp, which will include bunk and cook houses and store rooms. He also plans to erect a gallows frame over the shaft and install hoist.

PRODUCTION OF
 MINES TOTAL
 THREE BILLIONS

In 1880, when the output of the mines of the United States bare ly exceeded in value One-third of a billion dollars, the first director of the United States geological survey made this prophecy: ''The mineral industries of the United States will soon reach an annual mOneyed yield of a thousand mill lion dollars of value" This mark was in fact attained in 1899.
 Speaking before the American Mining congress in November, 1907, another director of the geo. logical survey referred to the probability that that year would mark an epoch in the mineral in- dustry by reason of the mineral output reaching two billion dollars in value, and later the complete statistics verified this statement. Now, less than 10 years later, the advance estimate submitted by the geological survey to the secretary of the interior indicate that the total value of mineral production in 1916 may reach the three bil- lion dollar mark.

RECORD IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION
 DURING THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, Dec. 90.-Output o1 iron and steel in the last week of the year was cut down sharply; estimate; of the curtailment vary widely but the decrease for the full month is thought to have been at least from 50 to 40 per cent, compared with No vember. The production for the year 1916, however, exceeded all other pre- vious annual achievements, although the output fell short of the great ex- pectations entertained a month or two ago.
 Preliminary estimates indicate an output of 3S,s00,c00 tons of pig iron, Ss, ,S72, 900 tons of steel ingots; 9,150,- 900 tons of pig iron, 31,S0O,s74 tons of steel ingots, and 2O,791, ,24S tons of rolled products were produced.
 Sales of all kinds of rolled steel in 1916 are estimated to have been ap- proximately S7,OOO,OOO tons, of which between 100000 and 8,000,000 tons were sold for direct export. Railroad equipment orders were the heaviest since 1912 and it is significant that about 45 per cent of locomotive sales and about IT per cent of the car or ders were for export. Sales of rails were the largest on record, exceeding 5,300,000 tons of which 100000 to 100000 tons were for foreign ship ment.
 Merchant blast furnaces sold nearly 10000, 1000 tons of various kinds of pig iron during the year, of which 2,0O0,- 900 tons were for export. December sales aggregated 6Oe,OOO tons.
 In the last few days, while business in rolled steel was relatively quiet; car builders and locomotive shops were m the market for about 60,O0O tons of steel bars, plates, shapes and forg- ings to cover recent orders for $500 cars and 250 engines.
 Structural steel work continues ac- tive. December orders are estimated at 130,000 tons and the total for the year is about 1,465,OOO tons. Con tracts pending aggregate 100000 tons.

SECURES OPTION ON
 THE ALTATA PROPERTY

F. D. Barr of Phoenix has been looking over the Chloride mining field with a widely known mining engineer While here Mir. Barr took an option on the Altata mine, one of the best known of the old mining properties of the Chloride section. The Altata was one of the early producers of that part of the county and remained in the pro ducing class until a few years ago. Its ores carry gold, silver and copper. It is well situated for economic min ing and it is expected that MT. Barr and associates will soon be at work on it.

PAIGE ORDERS FOR
 NEW YEAR ALREADY
 NEARLY S5,OOO,OOO

Nationwide prosperity and con- fdence in continued good times are indicated in the fiourishing condition of the 1900 Paige dealers throughout the United States and the amount of new business they have been piling up on the desk of Henry Krohn, sales manager of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company. Anyone who has any lingering doubts about the future will find comfort in Mir. Krohn's expert ence and will be able to see a reassur- ing reflection of a general trend.
 Shortly before Christmas Paige dealers had sent to MT. Krohn orders for new Paige models which totaled about $4,5OO,OOO; and at the rate in which the new business was mounting daily it was very apparent that the Paige men in the field would turn in over $5,0O0,000 worth of business be- fore the bells had rung in the New Year. This business is not based on estimates" but represents genuine, honest-to-goodness orders, although no announcement has yet been made as to the character of the new models and the public will see them for the first time at the New York show.
 MT. Krohn regards this situation as significant, considering it ample evil dence of the success of 1917 as a year of big business, not alone in the motor car field, but in industry in general. For the Paige men to start the new year with from s4,5O0, 900 to S5,0OO ,000 worth of business means that Paige dealers are going to have the biggest year in their experience and that also means that prosperity continues and conditions remain sound.

Chloride expects to see electric lights tonight. The Desert Power and Water company has experienced trou- ble with it's transformers, several of them showing apparent defects when tested. This caused delay, necessit- ating the bringing ins of new trans formers, which, in turn, gave trouble and had to be removed. The company finally found one perfect transformer and, in order to give the camp the long expected light, only one trans former will be used for the present. This will provide the camp with light but not with power.

NEW MEXICO COAL
 MINES NEED MEN
[By As.oeiatea Pr... Lea..d RIr.l

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 3O.-The high price of copper is responsible for the scarcity of coal in Arizona, ac- cording to W. S. Goldsworthy, local geenral agent of the Santa Fe. While the copper mines are enjoying their present prosperity and paying bonuses for good miners, he explained, the coal mine operators are having trouble in getting miners.
 The Santa Fe, he stated, has plenty of cars on hand at Gallup, N. M., the chief source of coal supply for Ariz- ona, but there are no men at the mines to fill them. It is proposed to urge idle miners to go to Gallup in order to take care of the present shortage.
