The latter is needed for later expansion of holdings and for the development of further ore zones, which are more than likely to bring in requirements for new equipments in order that they may be handled to advantage. There must also be prep aration made for a possible period af- ter the war in which the demand for copper will decline and naturally also the price, although best opinion at this time is that it will be long time before copper falls below 20 cents. But no matter the extent of the de- cline, and business conservation re- quires that it be figured at more than 1t Is expected taxes are likely to keep growing higher for some years to come, steel and machinery are going to be high for quite a while and in other ways of numerous kinds there will be need for abundant surplus accounts if the best interests of those employed in the copper industry and of all the peO- pie of the copper dividends are to be served to the largest advantage that foresight may be equal to.

War has brought Arizona into the eye of the public of the United States and of the world as never before. It looms there as the base supply house of the biggest single store of muni- tions, for copper is the foundation of these.
 Arizona's copper production this year will cross the 700,000,000 pound mark, no unforeseen Interruptions oc- curing. That means that Arizona will produce more than one-third of the total estimated copper output of the continent this year.
 To provide the output, the copper mines of the state are working to greater efficiency than in their pre- vious history. More men are em-

The corporation commission of Ari- zona has granted permission for corporation to pipe water from ex- tlnct crates lying in the greater alti- tudes above the city of Flagstaff to adjacent towns, so far away even as Ash Fork, Kingman, Seligman and Grand Canyon, and to ranches lying be- tween. The line also will be the source of water for the locomotives, round- houses, and shops of the Santa Fe railway. The United States govern ment has granted right of way for the pipelines across the national forest intervening. The company, already, has expended s50,OOO in the enterprise.

SHELTER MAY REOPEN

Renovation of the old shelter at Deming and the reports of contem plated additions to the equipment have aroused interest in view of the over crowded activity of the Arizona and Fl Paso smelter.
 It is reported that the Goldsmith Brothers Refining & Smelling com paHy of Chicago are interested in the plant. M. M Goldsmith of the firm has recently visited Deming.
 If the old Deming smelter is de- veloped it is believed there will be an outlet for the silver-lead ores now pill ing on the dumps in the southwest and mines that have been working without return and in the hope of the smelters opening again within six months will have market for their ores.

 There has been an inclination on the part of labor at some of the plants to as high as $7 a day to perform work a little more efficient and greater in volume but the promise of more money has not been sufficient lure, these men coming back with the reply that they now receive good wages and hav- ing money in the bank, do not see the necessity for doing more work.

INDUSTRY
 GROWS IN ARIZONA

While less head of cattle were shipped or driven out of Arizona in 1916 than in 1915, according to the re- port of Sam Bradner, chairman of the Arizona Livestock Sanitary board, more than 76,00O head of cattle were slaughtered in the state in 1916. an in- crease of 1S,000 over the year pre- vious
 Greatest and most startling differ ences in the figures of the state sani- tary board, however, are seen in the comparisons of swine shipments. In 1916, 35,000 more swine were shipped or driven outside the state than in 1915 while 10000 more swine were driven or shipped into the state in 1916 than in 1915.

Explored in 1539

In 1539 "Arizuma" as this region was then called, was entered by Span- fish explorers from Mexico. They were attracted by stories of immense riches to be found in ores. These explorers so far as the records show, did not do much more than explore. Prospecting was not actually started in Arizuma until the missions were founded by the Roman Catholic church.
 With the coming of the Mission fathers, farming was established sparsely on a small scale. But progress in every way was slow in those veri early days. There was about every ad- verse condition to battle against. Principal among these drawbacks was The Apache Indian, blood-thirsty wan tlerer over Arizuma, who apparently de- lighted in no vocation except that Of killing and plundering.
 From the time of the explorations Tn the early 1600's there was little done Tn development until 1847 when General Phil Kearney, soldier with a vision, passed through parts of the territory This was during the Mexican war with the United States. Reports on the ter Sitory Arizona were made and the in- formation circulated. There the mat fer rested for several years.
 Return to Arizona
 For it was about this time, in lS49, that the big gold rush to California started. It is said that 60,00O persons crossed Arizona during that rush. ( of Dorado. Of these 60,000 only a few stopped to try their luck in Arizona
 But many of them remembered these stretches of desert and mountain. Some made their fortunes in the California gold fields, but the majority Of the ar gonauts were disappointed. Some of these undaunted by defeat on the coast came to Arizona and struck it. It was in this way that the early settlement of Arizona was by people who went to California and then returned
 But Arizona was so isolated, and the Apaches so ferocious, that few would chance living here any longer than to pass from border to border, in going over the territory. Those who riskec all to gain all were men who wouio rather fight than eat, to modify gamblers phrase Some of the most productive mining regions worked to- day were discovered by these pros pectors.
 U. S. Soldiers Necessary
 After a number of depredations haC been committed on the whites hy th' Indians, Washington sent a detach- ment of the United States army to th' territory. These troops enabled thu prospectors and miners to proceed witt their work in peace for time. TheI the troops were withdrawn, as the! were needed when the war broke ou between the north and south. Littl was done for number of years. II 1870 the population of Arizona wa only 10000.
 Being so isolated Arizona had smal chance of getting her products to tn eastern markets Large mineral de posits had been discovered. But owini to this isolation the prospector sough only gold and silver of high grade val ues. There was lead and copper il abundance but he could do nothin with them. Those with an eye to agri culture saw vast sweeps of level Ian near rivers, which could be easily ir rigated But there was no marlze therefore farming would be of littl tiers here and there.

he invoked to require you to conserve
vo,7r food resources. It is a simple ap-
neal to your patriotism; it is a simple
reouest of your Government for care,
thought. and economy in consumption
of food and elimination Of food waste.
The exigencies of war demand this
much: the people Of the country could
hardly be called upon to do less. Then,
too. it is an appeal to our self-interest.
If we are wasting ten per cent of our
fool in our home, and we can reduce
this waste to five per cent, we are the
gamers by just that much. It may be
lust little that you can save-tea
spoonfuls, slices, scraps-and yet it is
this multiplication Of such minute
quantities as these by 110,OO0,000 peo-
ple and by 365 days that will save the
world.
Committees have been appointed
and are actively at work in every
town and school district in the county.
If the committee has not called upol
you. will you not call upon the COM
mittee and lend your aid in this great
movement Are you not willing to
deny yourself something's Can you
not save some waste? Is not your
right to life and freedom worth this

fore the Womens Society Of Central
Union, DR.. J. H.. Williams took up
the subject of The Sincerity OF

had a passion for truth, he ardently
loved it and this involved a hatred
of the opposite. The two go together
like positive and negative poles. AS
Matthew gives US a whole sermon
from the lips Of Jesus, The Beatitudes'
so he also gives us the maledictions.
The same voice which said Blessed
are the pure in heart for they shall
see Cod also said, Woe unto you,

things that were. wrong, unreal, I'M
true. He called men Of that kind
wolves in sleeps clothing. He. re.

Whisky Inconsistency

Whenever prohibition is urged
through press or on platform, the
liquor interests loudly protest that
the government should not destroy
millions of dollars without giving com
pensation therefor. But now that the
Congress of the United States has
passed measure authorizing the
President to buy up the whisky stocks.
these same interests protest that the
government. will be forced to pay out
a billion dollars for liquor now in
bond and to be placed in bond before
the law goes into effect. They howl
for compensation, but when offered
compensation are not ready TO &C.
cept it.
During agitation for the passage Of
food conservation legislation, the
liquor men denied that they used much
gain In the manufacture of their
beverages. Now, however, that there
may be a chance to buy their liquor,
they are trying to tell us that there
are vast stores of whisky so great
that Uncle Sam cannot even think of
taking over the liquor for munitions
purposes. A man who drinks liquor
soon becomes inconsistent. Is it not
true, also, that the makers and pur-
Veyors are affected in much the same
manner? -.
But with all their wisdom and fl
nesse, 1t would seem that the liquor
men are short-sighted. If the govern
ment does not take over the whisky
in stock, then the distillers, taking
advantage of war prices and increased
tax charges, will boost the price of
that liquor to 81 to So a gallon, and
thus make tremendous immediate
profits. However, those profits must
come to an end in short order, for
national prohibition is impending.
On the other hand, If the govern.
ment now takes over the product of
the distillers and uses it for munitions,
the distillers will have opened to them
a clean market, entirely divorced from
scandal, political manipulation and
chicanery. Once the government gets
into the habit of buying the distillers'
product, it is likely to keep on doing
so. The alcohol that is wasted in
making beverages is valuable asset,
properly used. Attending its manu-
faeture for useful purposes is no dis
grace, no restrictive burden, no po-
litical maneuvering, no ruin to q fell
