tion and cyanide mills, particularly in Mohave and Maricopa counties. Sev- cral new gold mines were added to the list during the year. especially at Oat- man. but the production was not suf- ficient to offset the decline in the output of the older properties.
 The production of silver from the mines increased from 5,649,020 ounces in 1915 to a record output of 6,S23, ,000 ounces in 1916 As the market price was much higher, the value increased from $2,S64,05 to nearly s4,430, 900, an increase of nearly 57 per cent in value. There was no great change in the production from the Commonwealth property, which is principally a silver producer. so the increase is to be cred : ited largely to the remarkable output of copper ore.
 The mine output of copper surp2 ssed all records and estimates, as it in- creased from 459, ,972, ,295 pounds in 1915 to approximately 693, 900. 900 pounds in 1916. The value of the output. on ac- count of the unusual market, increased from $50, ,495, l52 to nearly $l90. 000. 00J The increase of 135 per cent in the value of copper alone in Arizona was therefore more than the value of the total output of tho state in the previous year. All the smelling plants of the state were worked at full capacity and made much greater shipments oi copper bullion.
 The mine production of lead in- creased from 2l,73S,969 pounds in 1915 Co record production of over 26,000, ,00o pounds in 1916. The value of this out put increased from Sl,02l,732 to $l,- 76S,000, or 73 per cent.
 Tho ,r mines increased from 1S.220,S63 pounds valued at $2,259,3S7. in 1915, to about 20,9S0,00G pounds, valued at s2,S74,260 in 1916, an increase of nearly 2 pei cent in value. The greater part of the zinc ore and concentrates was shipped from the Golconda and Tennessee properties in Mohave county.
 Dividends paid 10 December amounted to nearly S34,O00, GOO.

HIGHWAY ENGINEERING DE

There is q side of the wide sDr-ad activ'. agitation to place road improve ments under engineers having experi ence in such work which has an effect or some communities just the opposite of that intended. The arguments are made so comprehensive as well as SO strong that taxpayers receive an er- roneous impression of what the ad- Vocates Of good engineering recom- mend. A community ready to spend a large sum of money on road improve ments IS not ready to employ graduates of engineering schools for every class oI read work above that of unsllilled labor which is too ofter understood to he the aim of the advocates of encin- ecring supervision The taxpaver who owns q successful machine shop knows hy experience that il is unnecessary to employ graduate mechanical engineers as f''I men. superintcndents and drafts men The builder has had the same c--- per-c1ce.

 There is q well defined opinion in the British army that dugouts on the German plan are not conducive to the best morale of the men. In fact many prisoners taken have frankly said that after two or three weeks or months in the comfort of a dugout they had no stomach for going back into trenches They are only too glad to get under cover at the first sign of lombard ment and there so many of them were trapped and surrendered
 The British do not in very much for the dugout idea. There are dugouts for advanced headquarters, but the life of the trenches.

Eduardo NJ. Aguilar of Kirkland ard his brother-in law, W. H. Roberts of Aio were taken into custody on similar complaints, arraigned before the same justice of the peace. followed the same course by waiving examination They are now cell mates in the county jail having been unable to provide the $500 bail placed by Justice De Souza when he bound them over to the superior court on the charge of failure to pro- vide for their minor children. Roberts who is the husband of Aguilar's sister declared that he went to Aio with his wife's consent, and that he could not send her the money that he did not have. On the other hand, Aguilar contends that he has not lived with his wife for three years and that she has ways of making money. He told the court he was willing to go back and support her if such a ruling should be made.

DUGOUTS 1T THE
 GERMAN LINES ARE DEATHTRhPS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Jan. 24.-The dugouts of the German lines some ol which have been marvels of underground con- structiou. are becoming more and more frequently death traps or rombs of their hapless occupants. The trench raids which go on nightly from one end of the British lines to the other are conducted largely for the purpose cf bombing these subterranean cham bcrs. No estimate is possible for the number of the enemy killed in this manner
 When khaki raiding party pounces over the parapet of a Ger man trench in the dead of night, the first alarm of their presence sends the defending soldiers impulsively in the direction of their dugouts. Once inside however. their doom is sealed. There is q call for surrender, a reason able wait, and then down goes bomb and as many more as may be necessary to completely wreck the place and set it on fire There have been cases where dugouts have been connected by tunnels and Germans have escaped through these. but generally speaking the dugouts stand alone Crouching in the far recosses of a gallery in one of these the enemy soldiers very often will not surrender when the first bomb is tossed in, but later they are glad to get out alive. Sometimes they have to be dug out by their captors.
 The story is told of a French Cana dian who was in "mop-up" section of the raiders one night. Approa ching duaout which looked entirely de- serted he stuck his head in the door way and called out:
 Any person down there ?'
 No response.
 say, IS any person down there ? Last call for any person down there"

 In the course of the proceedings, it Will be necessary to classify the bal lots, questioned by the two sets of in spectors. The republican committee has compiled data relating to about 50 diff ferent classes of ballots-meaning that there are 50 sorts of irregularities noted in the inspection. In other words, voters of Arizona took fifty different ways of mismarking their ballots.
 It may be that the court will he asked to rule on the manner of count ing each of the fifty classes. and then the matter will be simple All that will be needed will he a recount of the bal lots falling in the various classes. and their disDosition according to the court ruling.

The mineral production of, the United States for 1916 continues to excite the wonder of the world, and the publication of figures that are approx imately correct have tended to revive the interest of the investing public.
 Arizona's lead continues to assume greater proportions as complete sIals tics are made available. Not only does Arizona lead all the other states by a wide margin, but the proportionate in- crease of the states mineral production is greater than any other.

CUTTING DOWN ON BEER

LONDON, Jan. 24-In order to re- duce the consumption of foodstuffs by breweries. Baron Davenport the food controller, has decided that the quan- tity of beer to be brewed for the year beginning April shall be restricted to seventy per cent of the output of the previous year. This means that only 1S.009, 000 barrels of beer will be pro- dueed, about half the output of the year proceeding the war.

The output or gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc from mines in Arizona in 1916. had a record total value of nearly s203,000000. compared with s9o,S06, 349 for 1915, according to Victor C. Heikes, in the Mining and Scientific Press. The notable output of copper and the high prices of metals both as sisted in this increase of 123 per cent. There were record productions also of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
 The production of gold from Arizona mines increased from $4,166,025 in 1915 to approximately $4 ,427 900 in 1916, a gain of over 6 per cent. The production of gold from copper ores in most coun- ties was naturally greater than in 1915 but there was a marked decrease in the output of bullion from amalgama-
