JUDGES SALARY DRAWN
 AT THE OLD FIGURE
(From Saturdays Dailvl

NI4OIi Sdiui ud DdliN)
 Even State Auditor Jesse L. Boycc has his troubles.
 When ii came 10 draw warrants in favor of Superior judges in the vari- ous counties Of the State a few days ago, Mir. Boycc was at loss to know what to do. He could not determine whether the warrants should be drawn in accordance with the old salary or in keeping with the new salaries as provided in substitute senate bill No. v, passed at the last legislature.
 Accordingly, before drawing the warrants, Mir Boycc asked Attorney General Wiley T.. Jones for an opin- ion. The attorney generals office was so rushed, however. that the opinion has not yet been given.
 After holding the warrants for a period of ten days, Auditor Boycc de- cidcd to draw them at the old salary figures. In mailing out the warrants he wrote each individual jurist Of the State of the existing conditions and stated that if it is decided that the salaries can be increased during their incumbency. warrants will be issued for the additional amounts due upon proper demand being made.
 Many of the jurists had previously written the State auditor in regard 10 the increase in pay. Since the latest warrants were issued, however, Mir. Boyoc has received several communi- cations in which the various judges upheld the official in his action.
 The reason given by State Auditor Bcycc for not issuing the warrants under the new salaries act is as fol- lows: Section Y, article 1 of the constitution of the State of Arizona, i1 e'bstancc. says that the compcnsa- .ion of any public officer shall not be increased or diminished during his term of office.
 The warrants for the last half Of the month of March were therefore issued under chapter }, section 1, sub division of the first special session laws, 1915, appropriation bill, and section 10, article 6, constitution, and not under substitute senate bill No. v. passed during the 1917 session.-Phoc- nix Republican.

FLYING SQUADS ROOKIE ROUTE. .

NAVAL OFFICER COMING IN JUNE TO GET MEN TO JOIN; INQUIRIES IN LOCAL STATION GROW FROM PAPERS NOTICE.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Navy recruiting work will be stimu- lated throughout Arizona, New Mex ico and West Texas this month, dur ing May, June and July by flying squadron of naval attaches, who win visit practically every city and town of any size on the railroads. This was announced by William Sicckman, petty officer in charge of the local sub station, yesterday.
 The party will be headed by an ad- vance man, and will spend from one day to two weeks in each place visit ed. Here, the party remains for about ten days. Chief Machinist's Mate ]. Piper will act as advance man: he will be in Prescott from June 10 to June 20. The main party will be led by Chief Carpenters Mate Sanders and Chief Boatswain's Mate Anderson and will be here between June 24 and July G.
 Inquiries from those contemplating cnlisting in the United States navy have grown apace since the first an- nouncemcnt of his arrival was con- taincd in the Journal-Alincr, accord ing to Sicckman. There were no en- listmcnts yesterday, but several ap- piled who will have to wait short time before actually taking the oath Some must develop a little more ability to read letters at the minimum of Is feet; others arc slightly under weight according to the old regula- tons. Sicckman has wired headquar- tcrs to find out just how far the weight limit may be stretched during the present emergency. Several who have proven less heavy than l32 pounds arc young enough so they will certainly reach the required weight within a few months after they have been in the service and have taken the setting up exercises that make the American naval man the finest athlete in the world.

COPPER MADE 182 M|LL|ONA|RES
 PAST YEAR
AND MANY PEOPLE WERE PUT INTO THE QUAR- TER MILLION GLASS IN ARIZONA THROUGH THE RED METAL.
(By Herbert Hunter)

Arizona's copper output last year made lS2 millionaires and put many another individual in the S250,00O class.
 This is just figuring to emphasize the magnitude of tine copper output. As matter of fact, Arizona's l9l6 copper made some men many times millionaires and others made a great deal more than the average per capi- ta 5000.
 The wage earner shared more than ever before in the general prosper ity. He is paid on sliding scale ac- cording as copper goes up or down, and thus far its tendency has been upward.
 Every copper mine in the state is producing at maximum capacity, ern- ploying every man for whom it can find place underground and every snelter IS treating every pound ol ore possible. So great has been the demand for miners and so attrac- tive the wages that the coal industry of the west is said to be suffering a shortage of miners for the reason that so many coal miners have be- come hard rock men in tine copper mines
 Partly in consequence, the popula- ton of the state has very noticcably increased m the past l2 months, though the lack of census figures leaves Us without an idea of the ac- tual numbers.
 Not only the copper, but the gold and silver mines of Arizona did a great business last year. The gold output was 2ll,805 ounces, valued at S4,37S,4 400, and the silver output val ucd at S6,7ll,S0O.
 The great production of minerals under the stimulus of high prices caused the inauguration of large mining construction program, especi- ally for smaller properties. Most Of the large mines have plants adequate for their purposes.
 In Yavapai county alone several hundred thousand dollars worth of mine and mill machinery was install
 
 led in lC.L Inc mining ccntcrs were connected wis, each other by series of good roads, and many more min CTS were employed than ever before.
 One great project Is the power plant of the Arizona Power Com pany, an electrical plant to cost S1,- 100000 and provide lOOOO.OOOO horse 100000 and provide l0OOO horse to the mines, mills and towns of Ya- vapai county.
 The United Verde Extension Com pany's smcltcr at the Hopkins ranch near the Verde river, is to cost scv- eral million dollars. and the Jerome Victor Extension Copper Company has ordered $40,OQO worth of hoist ing, drilling and pumping machinery

FLAG HISTORY IS
 VERY INTERESTING
Several Changes Made In The Emblem Which IS Now Waving By Millions
 All Over The United States.

dn aCl approved DN tTCSlQcnl w dSl- ington, January l3, l794. The Star Spangled Banner" measures about 30 feet square, though it was probably somewhat larger, and is much bat tered and torn, with one star miss ing, probably shot away. This great historic souvenir of the war of 1872 has lately been preserved by quilting on heavy linen and will ever remain one of the country's most precious relics. From 1795 this form contin- ued as the standard flag until Prcsi- dent Monroe's administration, when congress enacted that it should here after be of Is stripes, with the addi- ton of a star for each new state, commencing July 4. 1918.
 Early Battle Flags
 It seems that for many years the army did not carry the stars and stripes in battle, though it had been in general use as a garrison flag. The land forces during this period and before 1t carried what was known as national colors or standards of blue with the arms of the United States emblazoncd thereon, comprising an eagle surmountcd by a number of stars, with the designation of the body of troops. In 1884, war dc partmcnt regulations gave the artil- lcry the right to carry the stars and stripes, the infantry and naval vessels using the national standards and those remained the colorS of the in- fantry until 1S41, and of the cavalry until 1887, when that franch of the army was ordered to employ the stars and stripes. From its adop- ton in l777, however, naval yes scls universally displayed the nation al flag.
 Many styles and forms of the stars and stripes flag were in existence up to 1842, and 1t was not until during President Taft's administration that definite specifications were drawn up. An executive order dated October %, 1912, tended to standardizc in, Stars and Stripes" and yet further specifications in sizes were found necessary by President Wilson only last year.
 The War with Mexico
 The history of our flag indicates that the Stars and Stripes was not carried by our troops in battle until the period of the Mexican war, 1885 AZ. Several flags of this period are in the museum collections. Among them is a flag of l3 stars and stripes carried throughout the war by the battalion of volunteers which enlist ed from Maryland and the District of Columbia, and the flag Of Company !, Fourth Regiment of Indiana Infan- try, Of B stripes, with an eagle in the field. Ten flags of the collection pertain to the Civil war.
 Other flags include some of the Spanish-Amcrican war, a flag owned by Admiral Charles Wilkes, U. s. navy: miniature flag carried by Captain C. II. Hall in the Arctic, iS5+-69; the American colors car. ricd by Rear Admiral Pcary in his Arctic explorations in l9J9; inc flag carried by the Smithsonian African expedition under the command oi Col. Theodore Roosevelt in l909-l0, | and numerous examples of the na- .ional ensign which has flown in so many notable engagements and dur ng countless worthy achievements.
