preparations, acc.eG.ng 10 experts. Those interested in national defense have of late been "aying much atten- tion to the production of aluminium. or lynite, as the finest group cf aluminium alloys is called. It is oi aluminium that the German "Zepp" is made. On accoun of its lightness, the metal is almost a necessity in aeroplane motors. It is also used in making propellers for the planes. It has come into general use in auto mobile motors, engineers say. often causing saving of 250 pounds in the weight of car.
 "As we see it, aluminium, or lynite, is of almost vital importance par ticularly m trucks and heavy duty vehicles used in war times" said Mir. Allyne, in offering his plants. lover forty different motor car parts are being made out of it. When We come to the airplane situation We feel that aluminium is one of tke factors which will make for the success or failure of the modern war machine.

MACHINERY TO SOON
 BE INSTALLED FOR
 MAGMA CHIEF WORK
Fifty Men Now at Work on Property; Representatives of Mining Interests Visit Superior District.

According to Charles A. kumke. who is in charge of the work at the Magma Chief property. where he is directing a force of approximately fif- ty men, the machinery ordered some time ago will soon be available for use and work will be carried on with out cessation developing the Watson vein.
 Since publicity has been given to the report written by the eminent Walter Harvey Weed, interest in the property has been general without the state and numerous inquiries have come to the officials concerning the definite plan of development work and whether the recommendations made by pr. Weed will be acted upon. The answer made by President Knight has given the inquirers the inforna- tion they desired and the result has been reflected in the market demand for shares of the corporation.
 During the week a number of rep resentatives of large mining interests visited the Superior district and with out exception they have paid visit to the property of the Magma Chief. In every instance expressions were made that the property has a very promising future and the ability to develop a commercial ore body was predicted.

American industry will be first to the colors if war is declared. Offers C. cooperation are coming in to the Naval Consulting Board from in- Gvstrial leaders all over the country, While the mobilization of troops has been discussed generally in the press and in Congress, the organization of America's industries for war service has proceeded with little public notice. Yet. those who are in posi- tion to know assert that, if war were to be declared tomorrow, the wheels of a thousand factories would begin to turn for Uncle Sam.
 Munitions of war" means more than shells and gunpowder and tor pedoes. Automobiles, trucks, aero planes, dirigibles, railroad steel and a hundred other things would be need ed at once and needed badly.

NEW DEAL AT SAlOME

SALOME, Ariz., Feb. 1.-The Car melita Mining and Milling company has secured control of the claims of Mrs. Carmelita Campbell in the liar qua Hala mountains ten miles south east of here and will immediately pro ceed with the development of the property. These claims are among the oldest in this section and have been in possession of Mrs. Campbell for many years. Gold values have been found in excess of s10 per ton in several exploratory pits. Twelve claims adjoining these five original claims have been also secured by the company. The property has been worked in a very ineffective way for years by several Mexicans kept there by Mrs. Campbell who steadfastly re- fused to allow any modern develop ment of the place. Mrs Campbell is one of the oldest settlers in that sec ton and she was born on the proper ty receiving it as an inheritance. P. P. Parker of Phoenix heads the organ izstion for the development of the mines.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. IT. The fla nous Little Jessie gold mine is to re new operations, and they will be big operations according to w. H. Jones, superintendent of the mine. wLo has just received the important informa- tion that a syndicate of Cleveland, O., capitalists will finance the operations Twenty years ago the water came into the mine in greater quantities than could be gotten rid of at that time Since then various attempts have been made to resume operations but unsuc- cessfully. Now that the financing has been attended to, and with improved machinery, the lower water logged levels can be properly handled and i'm provement can continue where it was left off. The Little Jessie was at one time a great producer of gold, and made the Chaparral district famous.

BIG GOLD PROPERTY
 NEAR PHOENIX TAKEN
 OVER BY 0. A. TURNER
New Tunnel Is Expected to Place Rich Body of Ore in Sight-Property Has Max ing of Good Mine.

Of more than passing interest to mining men is the announcement that Oscar A. Turner, one of the best known mining men in the United States. has purchased a gold property located 8 miles north of Phoenix in the Cave Creek district.
 MT. Turner is the man who promot- ed the Big Tonopah property at Ton opah, Nevada and who in conjunction with some Phoenix and Philadelphia people supplied the money for the rehabilitation of the Ray camp after that property had been given set back by the failure of the English company that operated there in the early days.
 Mir. Turner has mined for gold in California for many years and is ia miliar with all that is going on in that great gold mining state and with the formation of the gold mines of the great California gold belt. and he is emphatically of the opinion that the gold property he has just taken over makes the most remarkable surface showing that is to be found anywhere in the United States. He says that he went out to see the property. having many doubts and misgivings. all of which were dispelled within a very short time after reaching it. He re- ports that there are four veins show ing on the surface. These veins par allel each other in a body of slate and are all within about 200 feet of a contact between slate and granite. The veins are known as No. 1. 2. 2. and 4. No. lying farthest from the granite concrete. Three of the veins show large bodies of gold ore on the surface, running in value from s10 per ton mp 10 a thousand and over No 1 vein does not carry any value surface. running in value from S10 granite contact Three of the veins show large bodies of gold ore

MACHINERY FOR JEROME DAISY
 ON GROUND
Concrete Foundations for the New Equipment Will Soon Be Installed; Big Force of Men Complete Road Work.

Machinery for the Jerome Daisy | Copper company is now actually on the ground. The 25-horsepower hoist which arrived at Clarkdale last week was freighted today to the mine over the new road. which was finished sev. eral days ago.
 President Movies is highly elated over the condition of the weather. The building of the road was delayed for weeks by the snow, but now prac- tically all the snow is melted and every day is spring day As soon as it became apparent that he would no longer be troubled by snow, Presi. dent Movies put big force of men and mules to work on the road and finished it in jig time.
 Just when the 75-horsepower engine and 500-foot compressor will be deliy- cred at Clarkdale is not known They were ordered and paid for at the same time as the hoist, so they should be on hand in a few days. No time will be lost in hauling them out to the mine and installing them ready for occu- patton. It IS hoped that the wheels will begin to turn early in March.
 As soon as it is known definitely when they will be needed, concrete foundations for the machinery will be laid. This work is not being hurried because it will be much easier and less expensive to lay concrete when the nights are a little warmer.
 J. G. Movies, an old-timer in the district and brother of President Movies. is hereafter to be superin- tendent of the Jerome Daisy. MT. Movies arrived several days ago from Oatman, where he has been in the employ of the United Eastern and other companies. He is an expert enced mining man and will spend all his time right on the ground. This will allow President Movies, who has been in charge of operations from the beginning. to devote more time to the administrative affairs of the company.
 The Jerome Daisy's two-compart- ment shaft has been sunk over eighty feet by hand. Hand work will be con tinued until the machinery is in op- eration.

ONE Of the adolescent baseball
writer's in New York are trying
- TO prove Heinie Zimmerman the
greatest third baseman OF all time.
There is no doubt that Zimmerman
has played the best bail OF his career
for New York this season. but even
concediug this fact, he is still quite a
distance from being the best man
that ever covered the third corner
The concenSus OF the opinion
Of baseball writer's f. that Heinie
Groh OF the Cincinnati club is Il
superior man In every respect TO
Zimmerman.
At all events the little Red is lead
Ing the temperamental Giant in al
departments Of the game Due al
loWanCe for the form Zimmerman has
displayed this year must be made 70
the fact that the Giants have led viz
tually all the way Had ZlmmerTnsl
been on a second division team ne
would have played Indifferent ana
perhaps mediocre baseball. It is only
under the most ideal conditions that
the errltic Giant has played his best
This is exactly the reverse OF What
history teaches The truly great In
any line have Invariably shown Their
greatness in adversely and under the
most severe handicaps- Zimmerman
is such great ball player that many
managers would not have him OF
their club.
Collins Was Good One.
For the benefit OF some OF New
Yorzs younger generation OF base
ball experts we would observe that
there was a third baseman PLYING a
rev years ago by the name OF James
Collins who was considered a p0ss-
ably good man in the position Con-
tenp0reneOus with Collins was a
PLAYER named Leach. who was con-
