drive into Italy says the Times may turn from calamity
to blessing The rival armies have been practically dead

gained steadily, but slowly that definite decision
there might be matter of years But in Italy the Ger

It appears that the allies in their Paris conference

''Thus says the Times ''it probable that the

such battle-ground is very much greater than it could

NEW CLOTHES OUT OF OLD

Change entire style of dress if you
have enough material, or put some
other kind of material with old ma
terial, for wooden and silk will be
combined in many of the new fall and
winter costumes.
Put a new collar, cuffs and belt on
the old dress. This will improve the
looks of the dress. Change the length
of the skirt. Do not have the skirt too
short or too long. Practical skirts for
women will be five or six inches from
the floor this fall and winter. If the
garment cannot be made over for the
owner, it should be made into clothes
for smaller members of the family.
Most all garments should be mend
ed before cleaning or laundrying.
Mending tissues helps out wonderfully
in mending of woolen clothes. This
is used after garment is cleaned All
patches should be faded the same
color as the garment before using.

MINE PRODUCTION NORMAL
BY JANUARY IS PREDICTION

BISBEE, Ariz., Nov. 16-With Ia
Dor troubles adjusted and the feeling
of firm ground underfoot in all of the
states mining districts November
will witness a wide sweep of the pen
dulum back toward normal produc-
tion of copper. The first month of
the new year is now counted upon to
see the conditions of last March re-
stored, when every district in the
state was head toward a period of
record production, with maximum re-
suits being attained and a larger de-
gree of activity and general prosper
ity in hand than previously known.
Between now and the first of the year
the upbuilding of forces and the res
toration of disturbed plants to normal
conditions of repair and efficiency will
fully occupy the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict, and will give the Globe-Miami
district plenty to consider.
How much trouble these districts
and others in the state, which have
suffered from pro-German activities in
the labor field, are going to have in
recruiting full forces, remains to be
seen. Reopening of Clifton-Morenci
and calling off the strike at Globe
Miami has resulted thus far in many
men returning from others in which
they were temporarily, but their num-
ber does not replace the shortage
brought on by the draft and by the
leaving of many men for distant
points from which they will not re-
turn. Withdrawal of the men who
have returned has not, so far as re-
ported, disturbed the equilibrium of
operating forces in those Arizona
camps in which they were temporar-
lily, but that is also a factor that re-
quires consideration.

The announcement of the govern
ment on January 1 as to whether
there will be change in the metal price
or whether the mines will go along
on the basis of the preceding four
months is another factor that will
have considerable part in 1918 opera
tions. Assured that the price of the
metal will not be put lower by the
government in January and that
wages will consequently remain where
they have been fixed in Arizona, min
ers in many parts of the country
where wages are not as high and eli
matte conditions during winter and
spring much more severe will make
it point to come to Arizona in num-
bers
Meantime the mining districts are
in line for all the encouragement that
can be possibly extended them by 9TH
er interests in Arizona, for it is the
time of year when tax payments come
due and the tax payers of the state
outside the mining districts cannot
help but look upon the mines as the
most vital need of the hour, for they
are paying 81 per cent of the taxes
of the State under this years valua-
tion, and the most obtuse tax payer
must realize that it is highly desirable
to his own pocketbook that the mines
have every opportunity that can be
afforded them to operate at full ca
pacity and make the earnings which
will keep them paying the bulk of the
States running expenses.
AS compared with the 81 per cent
of the taxes paid by the mines, the
railroads pay 1880 per cent; lands
and improvements, 7.60 per cent; live
stock, $40 per cent. All other taxable
property makes up the balance,
amounting to 1920 per cent.

ALL AROUND ARIZONA
Pulsebeats of the Greatest State of the Great Southwest

A true natural bridge, as fine as
any to be found anywhere in this or
adjoining states, has been discovered
within a few hours ride of Tucson by
A. w. Roberts, the Tucson contractor,
and J. w. Ferris, editor of the Daily
News of Joliet, Ill. With them was
Eddie La Plant.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the discovery is the fact that
Mr.. Roberts has been unable to find
anyone who has ever seen or heard of
the bridge. Even the pioneers shake
their heads when asked concerning it
and avow that they never knew there
was such formation in this section.
Roberts Natural bridge is located
in the left wing of Browns canyon at
the foot of Baboquivari peak. The
pictures show a gently arching span
of about 1875 feet from end to end.
The top of this is as smooth as a road
way and drive could be constructed
across it with little difficulty. 1t is
twenty feet from the top of the bridge
to the highest point of the arch on the
underside, and the width is about thir-
ty feet. This bridge spans the canyon
itself and is located in the heart of a
picturesque paradise of live oaks and
rugged hills.
The discovery of the bridge was
made in peculiar manner The party
was out hunting; Mr.. Roberts was
hunting deer, and Mr.. Ferris, who is a
naturalist of some note, was on the
hunt for a certain rare inland snail,
which is to be found in a few isolated
sections in this state.

Ehrenberg, once the port of entry
for the entire state of Arizona, but of
recent years merely 'ghost city, of
the past, dropped still deeper into
oblivion this week when workmen
started wrecking the old Newt Smith
store and barroom
This building, in the early sixties
and seventies, was one of the most
important trading posts in Arizona.
During La Paz boom days millions of
dollars in gold dust and nuggets
passed over it's counters, and records
still extant show the transactions
where gold was weighed in as pay
ment for tobacco and grub.
The building was recently sold to
0. F. Rurr, who in turn sold it to l. d.
Crockett. Mr.. Crockett is tearing it
down to secure the timber and build
ing material that it contains.
In the early history of Arizona
much of it's supplies were brought
around the Cape and up the Colorado
river by boat. These were unloaded
at Ehrenberg, where pack trains took
them to mining camps all over the
state. Tradition has it that at one
time caravan of camels was used
between Ehrenberg and the govern
ment posts in the east end of the
state
Ehrenberg ceased to exist as town
three years ago, when Arizona went
dry, for the dry law wiped out the
business that kept the town on the
map for number of years. Soon af-
ter that the government discontinued
the postoffice. Today the old ruins
are hardly visible from the California
shore on account of the trees and
shrubbery that have grown up.
Naturally there is keen interest in
Arizona over the identity of Colonel
e. H. Yule, commanding officer of the
340th Field Artillery at Camp Fun
ston, as the regiment practically is an
Arizona organization, mainly filled up
by recruits from the first and second
contingents to the national army from
this state. According to reports, the
Arizonans fill eight of the regimental
organizations. The headquarters and
supply companies and batteries A, B,
G, D, E and F.
The colonel himself is an Iowan,
born May Is, 1873. His education led
to the degree of bachelor of science
in the University of Iowa, 1901. His
military work started in the Spanish
war, through which he served as cor
poral in Company F, 49th Iowa infan-
try, from June 2, 1898, to March 10.
1899. He entered the regular army
as second lieutenant of the Second
infantry, December 1, 1899, and on
II, 1901, was attached to
the Artillery corps. He received his
captaincy January 25, 1907, and in the
same year was assigned to the Second
Field Artillery. In 1913 he was placed
on the unassigned list, detailed to in
struction work for a couple of years.

JAPAN THINKS THE
 US. WILL DOMINATE
 FINANCE AFTER WAR
Leading Japanese Financiers Are Coming to This Coun- try to Investigate Financial Measures.

TOKYO, Oct. 24.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-The United States will hold a dominant position in the money market of the world aft CT the war. in the opinion of members of the special Japanese finance com mission, which will visit the United States in October to investigate the financial and economic measures adopted by the United States to meet the exigencies of the war. The com mission is headed by Baron Tanetaro Megata. Announcing the purposes of the visit to America the commission states:
 "The financial measures which the time of the war and the economic poll cies which she has framed for the period to follow the war have been planned on a large scale and with great foresight, so that they will nat urally bring about an entirely new situation in the industrial and mone- tary circles of the world.
 Therefore. the sending of these commissioners 10 the United States in order to enable them to observe per sonally the conditions actually exist ing in that country and so to create between the two nations a better uG- derstaLding which shall serve to pro- mote the mutual interests of both countries, will not only be instrument tai in furthering relations of intimacy between Japan and the United States. but also will have the good effect O. bringing into clearer light the indus trial and financial fields of this em- pire, both during and after the war
 That the United States will hold a dominant position in the money mar ket of the world after the war seems quite certain and consequently to strengthen the basis of cooperation with her is tantamount to advancing the economic position of this empire
 Tn this selection of the commits sioners comparatively many appoint ments have been made from business circles inasmuch as the necessity of making the investigation a combined effort of government and people was keenly felt by the authorities.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-10-28

The finding of both oxidized and
 suphide ores in the tunnels of
 the property shows the claims to
 be within the experiencing
 area, and in my opinion there is
 ground for the hope that de-
 posts of commercial value and
 extent may be found. This opin-
 ion is based upon a full knowI-
 edge of the ore bodies found in
 the three producing properties
 of the camp.
 It is safe to say that if Dr. Weed were to report on the Apex today the showing in the shaft would cause him to use much stronger words than the above.
 Of the developed properties Dr. Weed wrote:
 "Tte ore bodies thus far developed in the district occur at the United Verde mine, the Little Daisy mine Of the United Verde Extension, the Cop per Chief and Iron King mines, four miles south of the two first named properties. The ore bodies show cer- tain peculiarities of undeveloped ground. One is that they occur only in the sheared rocks, another that the ore bodies, though often of immense size, feather out, their ends tapering into very narrow veins or bands of flaky, schistose rock, sometimes ex- tending a long distance horizontally, or continuing upward from the top of the ore lens toward the surface. A still more marked feature of some of the ore bodies is the occurrence Of a dense quartz of replacement type varying to jasper of varied texture, color and composition. This jasper forms an outcrop over several other ore bodies opened under ground.
 The Verde Apex Area.
 Within the Verde Apex holdings the rocks weather with a pale yellow ish-brown color and show consider able variation of structure from blocky to quite fissile forms.
 uc SCnlSlOSlls ODStlNSu OH luS claims varies from N. 35 to 45 de- grees or so to the southeast. These schists consist of metamorphosed, al tered, pebbly sandstone and shales, parts of an old schist series invaded and backed by quartz porphyry. Both of these types are intensely altered and show schistOse structures running in a different direction.
 Black Horse Workings.
 ''The Black Horse, or upper tunnel, is 243 feet higher than the Socrates tunnel of the Venture Hill company. The Black Horse workings also cut the Socrates vein, which in this tun- nel is a narrow seam, encountered at about 115 feet from the portal. This vein runs N. S5 degrees w., con forming closely to the general direc- tion of schistosity of the rocks over the entire group, and dipping at 70 degrees toward the portal The same vein is in the lower or Socrates tun-
Bisbee daily review., 1917-10-28

nel oi the Venture Hill company, and is followed for 16O feet or so west ward to the side line of that pros pect, where it passes into Verde Apex ground. Whether or not this vein is a mineralized fault is difficult to determine. Inasmuch as it carries quartz and the shady wall rock carries scales of native copper for 15 to 20 feet east of the Verde Apex line, 1 consider the vein well worthy of further and deeper development and recommend the extension of the tun- nel into Apex ground.
 Tt is the type of vein which char acterizes the extension of the schist- ose belt of some of the ore bodies of the United Verde mine and the great bonanza ore body on the 14OO-foot level of the United Verde Extension was discovered. I am told by MT. Dave Morgan, following a small ifs sure of this kind that carried native copper.
 "A third vein is also cut in the Black Horse, or upper tunnel, and has been followed for some distance It shows oxidized copper ore of com mercial value, though high in silica. This vein runs about N. 50-60 degrees E., crossing the prevailing cleavage planes of the rock.
 "The Socrates tunnel was carried fn tho cfda linn hn xoi, and then turned 90 degrees along the line to cut the Black Horse No. 2 vein. The new northerly crosscut passed through 15 feet of a dense schist carrying disseminated particles of iron and copper pyrite, and the fracture planes show thick coatings of chalcOpyrite. If this continues to increase as the vein is approached, there is hope of finding ore of com mercial value and extent. The sul- phide-bearing rock is cut in the first northwest crosscut of this tunnel. It will probably extend westward into Apex grouna."
 It will be noted that Dr. Weed in no place mentions the main shaft, in which development is now going for ward At the time he made his ex- animation the shaft had not been started. It will connect with the Socrates tunnel at depth of 265 feet, only 20 feet below its present depth. The tunnel will be of great service in handling the water as the shaft attains depth, for it will obviate the necessity of hoisting or pumping all the way to the top.
 Equipment.
 As stated before, the plan of de yelopment is to sink the shaft several hundred feet deeper, and then cross cut west into Verde ground. For this contemplated work the present plant of machinery will be ample. The plant includes a 25-horsepower Zoos hoist and a 60-horsepower horizontal oil-burning engine, driving a 330-foot Sullivan compressor. This machinery
