BELGIAN CHILDRENS'
CARD PARTY TONIGHT

A committee of Hood River women,
composed of representatives of all the
card clubs of the city and rural COM
munities, are making preparations for
card party to be given this evening
at the Heilbronner: hall for the:benefit
of the relief of starving Belgian chill
dren. Tables will be provided for 200
participants and the party is expected
to be the largest of the kind ever
given ip the city.
Local women are taking an unprece-
dented interest in raising funds for the
Belgian Children's Relief Fund. An
organization begun here several weeks
ago by the women contemplates rails
ing 81, 500 within the next year. The
new organization, with which all local
banks are cooperating, already has
more than 100 members, who have
pledged themselves to give minimum
of rs cents monthly for period of a
year.
The women, who are working so
earnestly and faithfully gin providing
funds for the relief of the starving
Belgian children, make an appeal to
the folk ofIHood River for humanity's s
sake. The local women desire to raise
as large funds possible. The sum of
81, it is said, win keep life in ksome
little tot in the beleaguered land across
the seas for a month.

GROWERS WILL BE
RICHER AFTER WAR

When the great European war is
ended members of the Apple Growers
Association, of this city, will be ap-
proximately $4,000 richer than at
present. In 1915 cargoes of apples be-
ing exported to England by the Associ-
alton were delayed in transit by the
British government. When released,
it was found that the fruit had de-
cayed so badly that it was unstable.
The Association made claims before a
prize court and damages of So, 900 was
awarded on one cargo. A definite set
tlement has never been arrived at on
other fruit held.
The Association has already received
the $1,000, but has given bond for
its return in case a reversal of the
original prize court decision is made.
officials of the Association say that
the matter will probably not be finally
settled until after the war ends.

MEASURE WOULD CONFLICT
 WITH CONSTITUTION
From the Baltimore AmericanI

From the Baltimore Americanl
 There is a certain order of intelli- gence that compliments itself by the belief that it has done something Ot superior brilliance when it takes a crack at newspapers. If the motive can be hidden behind some pretentious ethical aim, the acuteness is the more pleasing. "Pillory the papers" is the slogan of this class of annoying illi- putians. They have neither the faculty for fairness nor the ability to distin- guish between serviceable endeavors and mischevous propensity. They of times sit in the seat of the scorner be- cause they do not know enough to req lze that the object of their derision wears the badge of responsibility with which they can never adorn them selves. One of the latest of the drives at newspapers covers itself with the mantle of prohibitions very worthy mantle in the estimation of very many people, and an unworthy one in the estimation of others. But that is nei- ther here nor there in the matter in point, which is the bill introduced into the house of representatives and that has been committed to the committee of postofice and postroads. The in tent of the bill is to penalize news papers that carry liquor advertise ments into dry territory. The persons backing this measure have passed over the virtue of the old warning against swapping the devil for a witch. They do not appreciate the fact that the con stitution of the United States strictly prohibits the passage of a law that would curtail the freedom of the press. Here is a superior prohibition that these pin-heads would set aside in or der to carry into effect their drive against newspapers upon alleged moral grounds. Let one hold to such views as he may as to the morality of newspapers printing liquor advertise ments. The one who so thinks is in the company of those who hold that theatres are highly objectionable and their advertisements should be sup pressed, that dancing is highly objec- tionable and all advertisements of such should be suppressed.

TOWN CONTINUES IN
 GRIP OF COLD WAVE
[From wednesday,s paIIy Minerl

IFrom Wednesdays Daily Minerl
 Kingman has been for the last three or four days in the grip of a cold wave, which gives no sign of abating. The thermometer Tuesday night how cred around the zero mark, the lowest point reached by the mercury in this section in many years.
 In consequence of the extreme cold, local plumbers have been overworked. Reports indicate that nearly all ex- posed water pipes in town have frozen, as have also those on the interior of many dwellings. Many residents are compelled to carry water for house hold use, which, together with the acute scarcity of coal, is working hard ships.

MAKE DISCOVERY IN
 DOING ANNUAL WORK

In doing assessment work on their group of claims near the old Moss mine, Jack Kennedy and Tom Burnett recently broke into very rich gold ore.
 The claims were formerly owned by Grant Thompson. MT. Thompson de veloped the smaller of the veins and shipped ore that carried values of bet ter than $10O per ton in gold. Ken nedy and Burnett have been working on the larger vein of the group, in which they made their recent dis covery.

PRODUCTION MORE THAN
 DOUBLED

The mineral production of the United States for 1916 continues to excite the wonder of the world, and the publication of figures that are ap- proximately correct have tended to revive the interest of the investing public.
 Arizona's lead continues to assume greater proportions as complete sta tistics are made available. Not only does Arizona lead all the other states by a wide margin, but the proportion ate increase of the states mineral production is greater than any other.
 Below is given the estimated value of minerals from the leading mining states for 1916 and 1915:

REPORT MADE BY COPPER
 EXPERT

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. S.-Writing in the Boston Commercial, Joseph Clendenin, manager of copper sales for the American Smelling and Refining company, which now sells annually goo, O,OOO 900 pounds of copper, a much larger amount than is sold by any other agency or individual in the world, says:
 Forecasting the future of the cop per market or of any other market is somewhat of a problem; nonetheless so at the present time because of the chaotic conditions.
 Strictly speaking, we have had war market for two and one-haf years which has absorbed the entire produe- tion of this country and of the world, and in addition thereto the entire worlds production for the first six months of next year has been sold, so that even though the governments should buy no more copper the war market will have covered period of at least three years.
 In this war period the production has grown from 140,000,000 pounds, the monthly rate of the out
 l. July, 1914, to 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds, the monthly rate of the output as estimat- ed at the present time. We have, therefore, to figure on the worlds pro ductiOn of copper, looking forward to early next year when the maximum will have been attained, of approxi- mately 3,OS5, 100000 pounds per an- mum:
Mohave County miner., 1917-01-20
Pounds
United states ........ 2,4OO.OOO. .OOO
Total ...... .s,os5OOO. .0OO

Included in the United States pro duntion shown above is such copper as is imported into this country and refined here. These figures show that al foreign countries combined, includ- ing the central powers of Europe, are now producing and getting on to the market independently of this country about 25 per cent sf the United States production.
 The increase in production during the war period has for the most part been in this country; Japan probably has increased more than any of the southern countries. Africa and Rus sia also show some increase. The oth- CT countries have about held their own.
 Most of the production at the be- ginning of the war was used for the industries-probably to the extent of 90 per cent was used for war purposes. Most of the present production is used for war purposes-probably to the ex- tent of 75 per cent and the remaining 25 per cent is used for the industries.
 For the period of the war the entire production will be required; the most interesting and vitally important ques- tion is, how much of it will be required after the war-what proportion of it will go into domestic consumption; into foreign consumption for ordinary purposes of trade, and into domestic and foreign consumption for the ex- traordinary purposes of rebuilding, re- constructing and restoration generally.
 Much will depend on labor available and financial ability of Europe. As to labor, necessity, the mother of inven- tion, has to a large degree filled the bill, women and children have taken up mems work where the men are fighting, and unslilled labor has been drilled to do the work in the outlying countries. (To illustrate; one of the largest of the munitions factories in Canada is now being operated by na- tive Indians).
 The returning soldiers will be ready and eager to work and make up for lost time, so that there would seem to be no likelihood of labor scarcity.
 As to the financial end of the busi- ness, money is usually to be had at a price for any safe anl sound enter

BILLS PRESENTED IN
 LEGISLATURE
House Puts Itself Partly on Record as Opposed to the Time-HOnOred Practice of Junketing = Federal Pro- hibitiOn Memorial is Laid on Shelf

PHOENIX, Ariz. Jan. 17.-In a brief session of both houses of the legislature today the volumne of en- bryo legislation was measurably in creased and the house put itself partly on record in opposition to the time honored practice of junketing. A motion by the committee on public in stitutions to authorize the committee of seven to visit all the institutions and report at first hand on their needs was defeated along with an amend ment to appoint committees of three, as has been done in the past, for this duty. It was the sense of a large majority that such committees could not ascertain much that would be helpful in appropriation legislation
 Walton of Maricopa introduced in the house a memorial to congress urg- ing federal prohibition legislation. The memorial was referred but not until after a multiplication of signs that it would not be adopted without opposition.
 Winsor of Yuma introduced in the senate a memorial to the president and the secretary of the interior for action with reference to the disposi- tion of the Parker Indian reservation on the Colorado. It is urged that of the 150,0OO acres of rich land in the reservation, provision be made for the needs of the few Indians there and the rest of the reservation be thrown open to entry.
 Bills were introduced in the house as follows:
 By Foster of Cochises for the pro lection of the lives of men engaged in operating machine drills
 By Hughes of Cochise, to amend the procedure for the isuance of bonds for the purchase of school sites for the erection of school houses and for mak- ing improvements.
 By Baxter of Maricopa to amend the statute with reference to security for costs and to amend the law relzt- ing to attachments and frauds and fraudulent conveyanees-
 Another bill by Baxter amends the divorce law of the state preventing the remarriage of divorced persons within six months. Still another bill amends the law relating to marriage,

RICH FIND MADE
 IN OLD MOSS MINE

Pannings made yesterday of the core of a drill hole below the 600-foot level of the old Moss mine in the Gold road district yielded high returns in gold, according to news received in Kingman last night.
 The core showed that quartz has been struck 50 feet below the level. Further work will be required to de- termine the significance of the strike. For many years the Moss has been noted for it's rich quartz. Faulting broke the vein below the 1OO-foot level and of late years only low grade ma terial has been disclosed.

DEMANDS ON STATE BUREAU OF MINES
 STEADILY GROWING
IFrOm Thursdays Daily Minerl

The demands of the mining frater- nity upon the state bureau of mines have so outgrown the capacity of it's present working staff that it will be necessary next year to provide on the staff of the bureau specialists in vari- ous lines of mining, in order that the people of the state may be given the best possible information on the mni- ing industry.
 A mineral technologist is necessary, one who thoroughly understands the rare and non-metallic minerals. to ad- wise the owners and prospectors of such properties. There is need of an economist and statistician. for the problems relating to the economic side of the industry need especial atten- tion. There should be a safety engi- neer, whose particular work is to pub fish the safety bulletins as well as to conduct safety campaigns. While it is true that the mines of Ari- zona are safer than the average metal mines, there is still room for improve ment, and every life saved and every hour of suffering lessened is worth many times the cost of providing a safety engineer for the bureau of mines.
 There should also be provided a metallurgist and a mining engineer, to investigate the problems of their par ticular lines
 To have all of the above attached to she state bureau of mines would be force that is adequate to handle the many problems of the state.
 The state bureau of mines is organ zed to give service-and service in the way that is demanded of it will cost more than the present There is something hat the bureau can do for everyone in mining within the state, md we believe that the people of the 'tate desire to support an organiza- 'ion that wishes to equip itself for the ,est possible service
 It is believed that the state of Ari- .ona should appropriate for the op- ,ration of the state bureau of mines at east as much as the United States government is willing to appropriate ,or work within the state, which is S25,000 annually. Inasmuch as min ng is by far the most important in iustry within the state, this appropri- ation is but a small proportion of the axes whieh it pays
 For many years the people of the state have paid several times this amount for agricultural experimental work far which they have had many times value received. It is believed hat the bureau of mines appropria- ion will receive the support of all of hose interested in mining.
