OF BIG GAME
 IN MOHAVE COUNTY

Hunters with a propensity for stalking large game need not leave Mohave county, Arizona, to satisfy their hunger for excitement. Within ten days w. E. Hanssen, travelling machinery salesman for the Arizona St res Company, has "bagged" two wildcats, each the size of small leop- ard. Both cats were killed with an or dinary shotgun, the natural curosity of the animal aiding the hunter, as the wildcat usually undertakes a lit- tie personal investigation instead of attempting to escape, thus leading to its destruction when facing a man with cool nerve and a reliable wea- pon.
 MT. Hansen is having both pelts made into rugs, which will adorn his "den."
 One of the cats was killed between Chloride and Kingman.

EVERYTHING Is READY FUR BIG FOOD DRIVE
 THROUGHOUT STATE

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 25-Secretary Smally of the Food Conservation
 headquarters has mailed out all the
 supplies needed by the County and
 City representatives in the big Food card drive that starts October 28, together with attractive posters. Pro- vision has also been made for slides for moving pictures houses, to be shown each evening during the entire week. Pledge cards and explanatory matter has been printed in Spanish and are expected to be of large ben eft in explaining the cause to the Mexican residents of the State. War ren McArthur, who is managing the weeks campaign, now is touring in northern Arizona, accompanied by C.. w. Crist, who is representing the National Department of Agriculture and who has been doing very effect i've work in Arizona, compelling his auditors to understand what the world war means to each individual.
 An especially effective organiza- tion for Pledge Cards has been formed in Tuson, where chairman I. H. Hof- meiser of the local organization has added Attorney S. M Franklin to his staff, as County Manager. The whole county has been thoroughly blocked out for the weeks drive. Preparation has been made for a number of public and for special talks in Spanish. The women are very prom inent in the organization and especial ly good work is noted on the part of Miss Phyllis Mansfield, daughted of one of the city's pioneers.
 The Spanish speaking population of southern Arizona is showing the keen est appreciation and the best of good will toward both the Food Card Drive and the Liberty Loan. A number of Mexican birth or ancestory have bought bonds in amounts varying from $1,0O0 to S5yOOO each.

Jerome.-Jerome Verde shipments of ore to Humboldt smelters continue, with increasing enthusiasm on the part of those watching the output. The mine management is encouraged by findings associated with the devel- opment but is not yet far enoug ha- long to feel warranted in expressing positive convictions as to the perman- ent value attaching. Jerome Portland development in its low grade ore body on the 500 level is the other import ant feature in present consideration in the district. Everything points to ground for confidence that the Port land management has right to believe that it now has a commercial proper ty and that it's extent will gain with depth, where richer ore is to be ex- pected.

Phoenix.-Returns from producing, dividend earning mines of Arizona, show these concerns to be without ex- ception in the possession of surplus accounts which assure their ability to meet the drain of Federal war taxes of all kinds and still meet their divi- dend requirements. Their financial sit uation, in the face of advance in wages, delays and losses through la bor troubles, higher cost of all mater ials and supplies of every kind and of tremendously increased federal taxation, as we'll as the larger propor- tion of state and county taxes placed upon this year, is considered to reflect the prevalence of extraordinary abil- ity engaged in their management. Shares of these concerns during the recent depression in the general in dustrial stock markets have sold much below figures that their financial at this time warrants.

MINING ACTIVITIES IN

Douglas-Eastern refinery output of electrolytie copper from the bullion shipped from the smelters is down to 15O,OO0,000 pounds the month, with likelihood that the October output will be below that figure, as compared with 2OO,OO0,000 pounds normal monthly output. The decrease Is cue 70 the de- cline in shipments from the smelters in July, August and September, all though only the effect of the first months shortage has thus far been felt at the refneries.
 The shelter shortage in shipments was caused by the strike and is yet to be overcome in part at Globe, Mi ami and Butte and in its entirety at Clifton, Morenci and Cananea.
