MAYER REJO|CES AS pIG SHELTER
 STARTS UP
GREAT WESTERN PLANT IS FORMALLY BLOWN
 IN ON MONDAY AFTER NOON AND COPPER BULL LION FLOWS STEADILY.
(From Thursdays Oaily.)

Arrivals yesterday from Mayer stated that the greatest industrial event indicating future prosperity for that town was the blowing in of the Great Western Shelter Corporation plant Monday afternoon.
 For several days test runs had been made to try out the machinery, but hcnccforth steady operation will be the rule.
 The ore being treated comes from the Butternut mine, and the single init is treating at present about 200 tons per day. Additional machinery IS on the ground and it is stated by officials of the company that before July 1st it will be installed and HOO tons will be treated daily. Five pro ducing properties have closed con tracts with the Great Western to have their products treated-the Henrietta, Butternut, Gopher, Sterling of Big Bug, and Martin mines of Ramsgate- all combined easily furnishing the above tonnage daily. Whether GUS tom market is to be established, has not been determined, but it is prob able the mines named for the present will be the main patrons.
 The final realization of smelter in full action for Mayer is naturally cre- ating very much favorable comment, especially when is taken into consid- eration the fact that three similar works have been constructed in that center during the last Is years. none of which produced an ounce of bull lion through failure of the type of process introduced. The site of the new plant is where once stood the old Treadwell oil-burning shelter, built over Is years ago, but never operated.

LARGE ADDITION TO THE OWL DRUG AND CANDY COMPANY STORE HERE TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
(From Fridays Dailyl

Quite an important business move was announced yesterday by the management of the Owl Drug & Candy Company. of this city, by which an addition of 25 by 70 feet has been decided upon, to be built forth with on the north side of the present building, facing Montezuma street.
 The new addition will be two stories in hcighth, and contain base ment and banquet room. It will be of brick and concrete construction. The design will be attractive, and an excellent feature of the interior ar rangement will be the enlarging of the dining room capacity to seat fully l25 more people than is provided for at present. Entrance will be given from the present dining quarters and an admirable adjunct will be that steam tables are to be introduced and refrigerated cases installed for meats and salads. A popular innovation also is announced, by which the new room may be thrown readily into a dancing pavilion, as occasion requires, while on the other hand, seclusion will be afforded private parties to the number desired. The same excellent judgment which has been observed in the past toward making the accom- modatiOns convenient and attractive for the public, will be reflected in the movement decided upon, and in which strict regard for sanitary conditions and beauty of design will be the motto.
 The basement enlargement will per init of the manufacturing business to be expanded also. Work on this structure is to begin at once, and the contract provides for occupancy in- 'idc of 60 days.

SAILORS HOME REAL
 HAVEN FOR MARINERS

LONDON, March l3.-Thc Metro politan Sailors Home. near London Docks. has become the clearing house for crews of vessels sunk by German submarines. Wherever the crews may be landed in the British Isles, wheth CT Queenstown, Grimsby. or some far northern port, they find their way, sooner or later, to this haven. It is not exceptional for hundred of them to arrive here in single day.
 They reach London usually quite destitute, with only few trinkets or perhaps a life prcserver representing all that remains of their personal be- longingS, sometimes even their clothes are not their own. Frequently they are suffering from exposure, or their nerves are badly shaken by their cX- perience. They get a few days of rest and quiet, but seldom are content to remain here long. As soon as they begin 10 feel fit," they show eager ness to be off 10 their home port to sign on again for a fresh ship. The sailor has come to accept the mine and submarine as ordinary risks of the sea, like the weather or an un- sympathetic captain.
 In corner of the big lounge of the home is the office of the Shipwrccked Mariners Society. This society has lately made submarined crews its cs- pccial care, and once they come into contact with the kindly old captain in charge they are happy He provides for their immediate wants, and if there is no room in the home billcts them into quarters nearby until they arc ready to move on. Then Inc pro vides them with new kit and pays their fare to whatever port they sc- lect. The new kit costs about SS per man. In many cases the owners re- fund this expense to the Society, with perhaps a little extra "for services rendered."
 The society's work has been going on steadily since the Germans-began their war against shipping, but it has increased noticehbly since the be- ginning of this year. The men who pass through its hands arc of all na- tionalities, including of course many Americans, American negroes, and a few Filipinos. The society has spent about Sl50,O00 since the beginning of the war on torpcdocd seamen and the widows and orphans of victims of German submarines and mines.
 Among recent arrivals at the home was a whole Japanese crew which had been shipwreckcd by submarine twice. In the company was Japan CSC boy of perhaps l2 years who was torpedoed in the Arabia, who had gone straightway back to sea and had since been through the same ordeal twice more.

SENSIBLE DRESS AIM
 OF FASHION ART LEAGUE

CHICAGO, March 13.-Thc iound- ing of fashions in womcn's garments which could be regarded as truly Am erican, distinctive and sane and yet flexible enough to give play to indi- vidual ideas is the purpose of a move ment backed by various womcn's or ganizations which will find expression in the scmi-annual convention and fashion show Of the Fashion Art League of America, which opened here yesterday.
 The movement toward simplicity and sanity and the avoidance of freak styles has the backing of the General Federation of Womens clubs of Am erica and of the Art Institute of Chi cago, both organizations having en- dorsed the basic theories.
 Membership in the Fashion Art League includes drcssmakcrs in towns from Manitoba to Texas and from Salem Mass, to Salem, Ore, whose ideals are to create styles in harmony with the lives and aims of American women.

Open competi- tions will be held for the display of designs and sartorial creations and a public style show has been arranged where models of various garments will be displayed.

LEGISLATURE IS
 CHEAPER THAN FORMERLY

(From Wednesdays DaiIvl
 The cost of conducting the Third Arizona State legislature was less than either of the two preceding ses- sions, according to figures compiled and estimated by State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce The total estimated expcn- diturc to the State will not exceed S4o,000, according to Mir. Boyce, says the Arizona Republican.
 Complete figures up to Thursday, March &, show an expense of S46,- 1902, but of course there have been additional expenses since that time which will increase the total, it is be- licved, to the above mentioned figure.
 The First Arizona legislature in 1912 cost the State a total of $4o,oT.17. A first special session added $22, ,4So64, a second special session added $51,- 3l6.S5, and a third cost an additional S25,70727. The total cost of the First State legislature, therefore, represent ed an expenditure of Sl4o, ,45091.
 The regular session of the Second State legislature cost the State to- tai of $52,S4550. A first extra ses- sion added S24,612.36 to this figure and a second special session repre- scented an additional expense of S22,- 0l0S9. The total cost of the second legislature was therefore soc, ,4O575.
 It will therefore be noticed that the third legislature cost approximately Sl 900 less than the regular session of the first legislature and approximate ly S4,000 less than the regular session of the second legislature. But in re- ality the savings was much greater. For instance, the total expense of the first legislature was Sl4o, ,540o1, while the total expense of the third session will not exceed S49,OOO. The savings, therefore, totaled over Sl00,0G0. While the difference is not so great between
