VANAD|UM MILL

While there will be n1 let-up in the attention given to operations under ground at the property of the United States Vanadium Development com pany, near Kelvin Junction, interest for the next few weeks vii naturally cen ter upon the erection of the new fifty ton mill and the installation of an ade- quate electric power plant, the con- tracts for which were s:gned a few days ago. Information from the local off, ces of the company is to the effect that part of the required equipment has all ready been placed aboard cars at Den yer, the order for the new mill having gone forward by telegraph
 General Manager Harry s. Prvan nf the Minerals Recovery company who came to PhoenM abouC cWo ,,e1ns aso and made a satisfactory demonstration of single unit of the proposed unit, left two nights ago for Denver to su- perviZe the shipment of the major DOT tion of the mill and to place himself in communication with the market for the concentrates which will soon be the commercial product of the company In his pocket he carried the contract for ove of his mills. or rather for ten units of the same order he had on exhibition Aere Manager Bryan stated before leaving that he would have the mill in operation not later than January 1, and hoped to make the time much shorter than that.
 Before leaving Phoenix, Mir Bryar made a special trip to the property ant returned to Phoenix more enthusiastic than any of the officers and stockhold- CTS of the company. He said that there is in sight on the dump enough ore to operate the proposed mill for two years and that there seemed to be untclC quantities of richer vanadium ore ir he mine than there was to be founC elsewhere in the United States.

the war was a speculative rise of prices. Such a sudden speculative mark up of prices usually accompanies war. This was temporary, however. as such arbitrary mark-ups usually are. It reached it's maximum in the United States in September 1914. As soon as it became clear that market conditions would not justify such a rise the spectators were forced within the following two months to reduce the prices nearly to normal No great change in prices was felt until near the close of 1915 from which time the rise of the price level has been rapid and almost uninterrupted.
 What has happened was, dimly at least, foreseen by some of us and was for the most part. forecasted by me in my little book Why is the Dollar Shrinking?" published month after the outbreak of the war.
 Retail Prices
 The retail prices of food have now mounted to AZ per cent above the level before the war This rise however, while sufficient to revive popular ex- citement on the subject is trifling com pared with the rise abroad, even among neutrals. In Switzerland retail food prices had risen up to March last, 58 per cent; in Denmark up to Febru- ary, 5S per cent: in Italy up to April, 64 per cent in Sweden up to April, 75 per cent in England up to August, 102 per cent; in Austria up to May, 1SS per cent; and in Germany for which We have figures only up to October, 1916 1U9 per cent
 Wholesale
 Wholesale prices rose even faster In the United States wholesale prices ir August were S3 per cent higher thar July, 1914. In England they were II! per cent higher.
 Paper Money
 ] But these price movements have no l all been in terms of gold. Most of tht warning nations have had a virtual l though concealed. premium on gold having practically gone on to depre ciated paper basis. Since the buyint and selling of gold has been forbidden and apparently prevented for the mos part this premium has been publicl, registered only or chiefly in the foreigl exchanges. Exchange in New York 9

the various nations ir Europe has de- preciated, although at the outbreak of war the movement was quite in the contrary direction. The depreciation has been greatest in the case of. Rus sia. and least in the case of England, which is the only one of the warning countries in which we may fairly say that there has been no real premium on gold.
 It is to be noted that the highest rise in prices has been in the countries where the depreciation Of paper has been the greatest.
 Former Wars
 Of course to students Of war and currency this is a familiar story. In our civil war; with the creditable ex- ception of California. tie united States went on to paper basis. g i'd went to a premium. foreign exchange on New York fell accordingly and prices shot up to correspond, more than doubling ,n three years.
 As we have seen England went through somewhat the same experience in the Napoleonic wars. Afterward the famous .'bullicn report" was made. ascribing the rise in prices to the de- preciation of paper, by which was meant it's depreciation relatively to gold If we go back further we have other war issues in the continental ,iaper money of the revolution and still further back of the famous Cor in famous) Assignats of the French revo- lution We still echo our ancestors distrust of paper money in repeating the phrase. though we have forgotten it's meaning, .'it isn't worth con- tinental''
 Money and Prices
 A most striking fact is the close cor respondence between the changes in the money in circulation in the United States and changes n the price ieve.. Since the latter part of 1915 this cor respondence has been extremely close the price level rising soon after each rise in the monetary circulation and falling back soon after each reduction in the circulation T.s. same close cor respondence has been shown by othei economists to be true in England anc Russia What this correspondence be tween monetary imitation and the rist of prices really signifies will be showr l next Friday.

SECOND LECTURE

 PRICE MOVEMENTS
Republican A.P. Leased Wirel

BERKELEY, Cal. Oct. 1.-The sec ond lecture on Price Movements by Irving Fisher wss given yesterday afternoon, his subject for the day be- ing Price Movements During the war" His address, in part. follows:
 Before the War
 As the facts which we have reviewed show, at the outbreak of the great war some cause or causes had been steadi- ly elevating prices far above their low level of 1896. The subject had at tracted world wide attention. There had been bread and meat riots in many cities throughout the world, from Ber- lin to TQkio! For several years there had been talk of an International Con- ference on the High Cost of Living A bill authorizing the president to call such a conference had passed the sen- ate at the end of the Taft administra- tion and MT. Wilson prior to his be- coming president had approved the idea. Premier (now president) Poin- care and other public men and organi- zations in most civilized countries had done the same. Numerous local and national investigations on the high cost of living had been made and numerous reports, articles and books on the sub ject had appeared
 ls The War
 In the midst of all this ferment the war came and cut discussion short. But it soon became apparent that since the war began the high cost of living had risen further. Neutrals | suffered as well as belligerents. We have recently heard loud complaints from Holland, Sweden, Norway and l Spain.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

Water was turned on in portions of
the PARK Monday, much to thesrelief of
householders. The delay in getting to
users of the water supply was the fact
that repairs were in progress and the
water was cut off from certain streets.
All difficulties in making the change
of the roadway from the bowling alley
to the railway station have been re-
moved, | am informed, and the contrac-
tors have been instructed to proceed
with the work, which will carry the
new road alongside the boardwalk down
over the glade to the station, cutting
! out the curve fronting the Mt. Lake
Hotel.
Boarding house keepers and those
owning and operating hotels are on the
ground and are geeting their respective
houses ready tor occupancy. The AL
