INCREASE Is SHOWN IN COPPER OUTPUT
 FOR MONTH IF MAY

The refined copper production of 25 prominent producers in May amounted to 1O5,542.13 pounds, the largest com bined production for those properties in any month this year. The increase over April was 1.S72,56S pounds. while compared with May, 1916, production last month gained 4,S55,366 pounds.
 A number of the producers who have issued their May production figures showed substantial increases in pro duction over April Old Dominion. for instance, turned out 4.43O.000 pounds last month as compared with S,516,OOO pounds in April. Braden, Inspiration and Tamarack turned out considerably more copper in May than in the pre- ceding month. The only important decrease in production last month was at Anaocnda.

is disbursed for supplies, fuel, steel
 timbers, machinery renewals and bet terments, taxes and other fixed items. This ten million reaches to every part of the country, there being no section that is not drawn upon in some way to keep the copper mines going at effici- ency. The ten million in wages com pares with disbursement in that chan nel in the first months of 1916 of about five million dollars. The wage paid at that time was S325 to $3.50 the day, with labor exceedingly glad to secure the employment at that price. The advance since has been voluntary on the part of the copper producers. The total has been doubl- ed. and wages are two-thirds higher. This two-thirds amounts to dividends at the rate of about S3.000,000 the months or $36,000.O0O the year volun- tarily paid the copper industry work CTS in Arizona, total that compares very well with the dividends which have been paid the investors whose money made the copper mines. In this connection there is the note worthy feature that a great many Arizona miners are at this time draw ing both wages and dividends plus dividends. for they have become stock holders in great many instances in the producing mines, while they are in developing properties as shareholders by the thousands. The miner. in fact, never before in any mining coun- try had as large incentive as he has in Arizona today to keep mining going at highest efficiency. strictly from the standpoint of personal financial inter est. The latter has of course broad ened his interest in national welfare and if left alone he would work into a great factor of national support and sources. His understanding of this is in a great many instances arraying him against the agitator formidably.
 Losses to the ranks of labor through intimidation are going on daily in Arizona. A great many men are leay- ing the state rather than become ir- volved in the labor troubles upon the agitators are insistent Many men will also be lost through enlistments in the army. the Frst Arizona stand' ing at this time is in need of 1900 men, while there will be further loss es when the draft is made.
 All the factors may have outcome, in the opinion of some who have given thought to the situation. in govern ment control of the districts and the reduction of copper output to the ton mage actually required by the govern ment and its allies for their actual war needs. Tn such event a lower standard of wages, conforming with wages paid eastern miners and stand ardized over the country. might be an outcome that while distasteful would of necessity have to be accepted. A condition would readily be possible that would conform in many respects 10 that of 1914. when the mining com panies cut their forces in two and re- duced wages 10 per cent. operating X all only for the relief of men with

quirements of the government in han ding troops equipment and supplies, mainly to the eastern seaboard.
 Some idea of the heavy requirements of the cooper mines will be gathered from exact figures given for one of the comparatively small producers, the old Dominion, at Globe, which requires sOO,OO0 board feet of timber month and 29,6S7 pounds of powder. The quantity of oil used daily in the con- duct of copper mining. milling and smelling in Arizona is not known, but runs into train loads.
 Should the mines go to half-time, as is more than a possibility. thousands of unmarried men, the first to be re- leased from employment by the com panies in the event of curtailment of their forces. would immediately be made available for the army or for labor in the agricultural districts.

Miami Wage Scale
 For Consolidated

PRESCOTT, June 5o.-Announce- ment has been made, it is reported by visitors from Humboldt. that the Con solidated will put into effect on July l the Miami scale of wages. It will affect shelter as well as mine en- ployes in all departments. The or der has been well received and no future troubles are anticipated in the affairs of this company. Business in terests of Humboldt are particularly we'll pleased, while the improvement company of that town, which owns many of the buildings, and is con trolled by Prescott peoplpe. likewise rejoices. The order for increased wages was made voluntarily by the management.

LACK OF SUPPLIES
 MAY FORGE COPPER
 MINES TO SUSPEND

GLOBE, Ariz.. June 30.-The situa- ton of Arizona mines in respect to supplies. particularly of fuel, timbers and steel, is rapidly growing serious. It may readily be that because of lack of sufficient stocks of these necessary materials. the copper producers may find it necessary at any time to either greatly curtail or possibly wholly sus- pend their operations indefinitely.
 Cause of the shortage is not so much the scarcity of the materials as the inability to secure cars for their deliv- cry. All efforts to secure a change in this situation have up to the present time been of little or no avail. The cars are simply not available, due to the great increase in demand which has cone about through war time re-

The fifteen large producers of cop per in Arizona contributed upwards of twenty million dollars to the Liberty loan. Only about two million of this was credited directly to Arizona. The balance was credited to various states panies are located and from which the boards of directors ordered the sub scriptions made for the companies. As an instance, the Phelps-Dodge Co.,, is en million dollars to the bond issue, but of this sum only S350,000 was credited directly to Arizona. Senator w. A. Clark contributed several mil lion dollars, but it is credited mostly to New York
 In one day the employees of one min ing company in Arizona, the Miami Copper Co.. subscribed S16.500 to the loan. The miners. smelter and mill workers of the Globe-Miami district subscribed more than $250,00O. which would mean a $50 bond for every one of their number In the Warren Dis trict the miners subscribed more than s300,000 or something over $50 bond for each one of their number. In the Ray-Superior district, the Jerome dis trict and the Clifton -Morenci district there were also very considerable sub scriptions by the miners.
 Advance in the price of copper dur ing the present month means that wages will automatically advance un- der the voluntary profit-sharing plan extended by the producers when the metal market rallied in 1915 and the work in July the Bisbee miners will receive around $5.S0 and. those under the Miami scale around $570 the day. This is predicted upon the present practical certainty that the average price for the metal in June will be 30 cents or better.

Strike of High Grade Ore On Slope of Tuscumbia Mount ain Revives County's Vast Mineral Activities.

 UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Binghamton Copper Mine Is Rapidly Nearing Dividend Close; Expected To Be On Profit Basis In 60 Days.
sy WiIIlam ?. pe WoIf.

PRESCOTT. Arizona. June 30--A strike of high grade silver ore made a few days ago on the south slope of Tuscumbii mountain has created somewhat of a stir in local mining circles. and has melted certain old time Hassayampans to indulge in re- miniscences of the days when the silver bonanzas of Yavapai County and the prodigality of their owners was current gossip in an half-hun- dred mining camps between Santa Fe. New Mexico. and the Golden Gate. That was many years before the fall of the big drought in Arizona when all the bars went dry and the Hassayam- pans first began to understand that grape juice is a beverage and not a hair tonic
 The long dry spell just referred to has. however. little bearing upon the subject in hand. except as it touches on and appertains to the enforced activities of a nondescript band of bootleggers who are breaking big ones into little ones for the county on the road out beyond Turkey Station While thus serving the county and their sentence. these dissenters from the status quo of statewide prohibi- ton accidentally ran across a deposit of ore that samples as high as 800 ounces in silver to the ton.
 The ledge was encountered in the vicinity of the old Tuscumbia mine in the Grown King country, a section for merly noted for the number and rick ness of it's silver bonanzas. and is thought to be the continuation of that valuable lode So far as surfaced trenched the deposit is holding it's value and bids bids fair to afford its locaters quite as lucrative and a decid- edly less precariOus occupation than that of peddling red liquor in contra vention of the statutes made and pro- vided.
 Quiekens Mining Energy.
 The importance of the discovery is reflected by an additional quickening of silver mining activity throughout an area which has already been stimulat- ed by the rapidly enhancing price Of silver and by the possibility of it's remonetization on or before the close of the prevailing worldwide war. For some time past a'number of the old silver properties in the Grown King country have again been operated at a profit-nOtably the Crown King. Peck and Lane mines-and the tendency of the recent strike near the TuscuTn- bia is to encourage the exploration of surrounding territory there and else where which has thus far remained unprospected. with a view to opening the extension of ore bodies from which pay ore is now being mined in work ings established in former years. This tendency to broaden the scope of operations is not confined to the Crown King section. but applies equal ly to Walker Basin. Cherry Creek and other districts here which were at one time noted for their output of silver.
 During the days of dollar Silver the Peck mine outputted about SS.OO0.Oop worth of high grade silver ore, the

 At a point only a few feet from this shaft. seven or eight quartz ledges and two iron dikes come together. Car bonates and peacock copper can be found almost anywhere in the ledges. Some little ore was opened in sinking the shaft. but the most important de- termination in the shaft is that the hematite and ledge go down.

CAMP CODY SOLDIER
WRITES WAR POETRY

From a member of the old First
South Dakota cavalry stationed al
Camp Cody, Deming, N. NJ, comes
an unusual bit of verse about army
life. The author of the following STAN
zas is Sergeant G. j. Aisenbrey, now OF
the Ordnance depot and one time a
member of Troop E. His home was in
Alpcna. The verses are:
"THE FINlS."
When we Sammies get 10 Europe,
Won't we give the Kaiser hell?
Well make him think of Sherman,
And we'll make the WAR Lords
yell;
We'll make him pay his victims,
And we'll keep him down and out,
Well plant our spuds and pop corn,
In his fields of sauerkraut.
Well make him beg for mercy,
Well make him give us peace;
Wen march right into Berlin,
And kiss the Kaiser's niece.
Well make him think it's kultur,
TO kick the man that's down,
Well hang him to the steeple,
OF the biggest church in town,
Wen mutilate his carcass,
Then throw it in a well;
For surely cen the devil,
| Won't let him into hell.

Mr. Dawn testified that Gunderson

by Chief of Police Coacher.
The A berdeen fire was the third

made. His first two attempts failed.
Testimony given by Mr.. Dawn indicat-
ed that another member of the gang
was responsible for the Jebsen fire in
Mitchell.
During the early part of August, Mr..
Jcbsen, who trades in horses, collected
in his barn here. There was no insur-
ance on the animals and their dcstruc-
tion is said TO be total loss TO him.

On the night before the fire here,
a man, apparently a harvest hand, ask
ed the men at the barn to allow him
to sleep there. He was not seen after
wards and it was thought at tic time
that lie persisted with the horses. Tho

that lie was the arsonist.

NORTHWEST FACES ACUTE

FARMERS UNABLE TO GET oAr
SEED FOR FlELDs-coRN SOFT
AND WATERsoAKEp.

Aberdeen, S. d., Nov. i9.-'rhat a
serious seed shortage exists in North
and South Dakota. Montana. and Wis
cOnsin is the opinion of a number of
farmers from northeastern states who
met here lhls week to dlscuss the Sit
,lation. The shortage CT corn and oats
in the northwest for seeding was de
clarcd to be extremely acute. Many
farmers, it was said. are having diff
Guilty in securing enough oats to plant
their fields.
The situation in Montana and North
Dakota was declared TO be more serious
Than in the other northwest states.
One farmer declared that owing to
the poor quality of this years corn
crop majority of the farmers would
be forced to feed their corn to live
stock before the winter is over, to
save it from spelling. The corn in many
paris of the northwest is said to be
water-sOaked and soft.
