STRIKERS TO WORK

The strike at the Shannon Copper company which has been in effect for the past week was settled yesterday and the men returned to work this (Friday) morning.
 The smelter was shut down at midnight last Friday on account of the refusal of the Mexicans on the feed floor to work with dump man who had been transferred to that de partment. The men struck at eleven o'clock and were given until 12 O, clock to reconsider their action. The men gave the matter no attention and the plant was closed down at that time.
 A conference was held on Tuesday between the company officials and the men but no settlement was arrived at Another was held yesterday with the result that the men returned to work this morning and the produc tion of copper has been resumed.

COUNTRY CLUES RE-
 VARIABLE DEMONSTRATION

A remarkable demonstration of the performance of the distinctive Over land Country Club Model was the as cent of the steps leading to the new administration building of the Willys- Overland company during the recent Dealers convention.
 E. R. Carhart, Overland distributor at Oklahoma City, placed Chief Brave Bear, his squaw and papoose, three Cheyenne Indians who accompanied the Oklahoma delegation to the con. vention, in a new Country Club and proceeded to climb the 25 steps lead ing to the main entrance of the big structure.
 Heavy snow, which fell the night before, had been trampled into icy hardness on the stone steps.
 The chains held, however, and the car climbed steadily right up to the very doors, which. were swung wide open. But the hub caps were too wide to permit of entrance, so Car hart backed the Country Club, turned gracefully about and sped down the steps, accomplishing the difficult feat without mishap.
 The event took less than min ute's time and was witnessed by hun dreds of Overland dealers who depart ed for home fully convinced that the power and performance of the Country Club was entirely in keeping with it's unusual appearance.

IN M EM ORIAM.

After a week or more of suffering little Edwin Anderson Horton, the five-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. B. V. Horton, passed away at the Shan non hospital on Monday morning at nine o'clock, death resulting from an operation following stomach trouble.
 The lads demise came as distinct shock to all who were acquainted with him, and although in a serious condi- tion it was hoped that he would sur vive the ordeal Nothing that skill could suggest or love supply was wanting in an effort to save him, but in spite of all that was done, the thread of life. was severed and left a void in a desolate home that can never be filled.
 The funeral services were held at the Baptist church on Monday even- ing, Rev. J. w. Epperly officiating The services were attended by many friends of the family who came to pay their last tribute to all that was mortal of the little fellow. The pail bearers, who were selected from among the Elks of which order MT :. Horton is a member, were M. O.. Simms, Ben M. Crawford, R. H. Pringle and w. S.. Bradfield. At the conclusion of the services at the church the remains were removed to the Pascoe undertaking parlors where the body was prepared for shipment. Mr. and Mrs. Horton left Tuesday morning with the body for Waverly Tenn, where interment was made.
 The little boys demise comes as a dark shadow to parents and friends who held him most dear. As death is but the slipping off of the outer body, the memory of the lad with his sweet and sunny disposition, is left. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such sorrow and the sympathy of the entire community is extended the bereaved parents in their hour of deep trouble.

ARIZONA ONE IF FEW STATES ID BAR
 PERSONAL USE
In Kansas, Colorado, Maine, Iowa, North Dakota and Arkansas There Is No Limit to Shipments.

Of considerable interest to people of Arizona and yet of no particular instructive value, inasmuch as the decision recently handed down by the supreme court validating the Webb Kenyon act merely makes Arizona's prohibition law more effective, is the statement recently made by H. A. Hugo, president of the Missouri Wholesale Liquor DealSrs' Associa- tion.
 In this statement Hugo declares that the Webb-Kenyon decision was not such triumph for the ''drys" because the liquor people were not encroaching upon state laws when liquor shipments are limited. Hugo fails to note, however. that no liquor can come into Arizona and that the courts decision on the Webb-Kenyon act makes 1t more binding.
 The interview follows:
 HI. A. Hugo, president of the Mis- soHri Wholesale Liquor Dealers As sociation, discussing the decision handed down Monday in the United States Supreme Court sustaining the Webb-Kenyon law, passed by con- gress, said many persons had gained wrong impression of the effect of that decision by reading misleading headlines in certain newspapers.
 "The Webb-Kenyon law, enacted several years ago." he said, aimed at curtailing into dry states, but dis tinctly states that no liquor shall be shipped into any state for use or sale contrary to the laws of said state. Many states which are dry" by stat utory prohibition or b1 vote of the people, have enacted laws limiting the amount of distilled liquors, wines and beer which individuals are allow ed to receive for their personal use.
 Tn Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kan sas, Maine and North Dakota no limit is placed on shipments for personal use, these being dry ptates. In the twelve other dry states, shipments | for personal ,Hse are HE- ited All. le- gitimate liquor dealers are and have been making shipments of liquors into these states in strict accordance with these enactments. Consequently the decision of the supreme court instead of being huge victory for i the 'drys' as some of the headlines had it, merely places the highest stamp of legality upon thse legal shipments, and the citizens of those states will continue to receive their liquor for personal use in the pre- scribed quantities.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

The shipments of iron ore from the mines in the United States in 1916 are estimated by Ernest F. Burchard, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, to have ap proximated 75,5OO0,O0O gross tons, con pared with 5,493, 100 tons in 1915, an increase of 34 per cent. This ore sold for approximately $17S,935,O00, an in- crease of about $77,650,000 compared with the value of the 1915 output.
 The production and consumption of coal in the United States in 1916 ex- ceeded all past records. The quantity of bituminous coal mined last year is estimated by c. E. Lesher, of the Unit ed States Geological Survey, Depart ment of the Interior, as slightly more than 5O9, 100000 net tons, an increase, compared with 1915, of more than 66,- 800 ,O00 tons, or 15 per cent, and great CT by 31,OOO,0OO tons than the record of 1913.

sl6O,OOO BOND
 ISSUE CARRIES

On Monday the taxpayers of Cliff ton demonstrated the fact that they were heartily in favor of bonding the town in the sum. of $160,000 for the various Improvements which have been mentioned in these columns, an overwhelming majority being given in favor of the issue, the vote standing 15S for and 15 against. Although the matter was of the utmost importance to tn taxpayers, of whom there are some 300 in the town of Clifton, yet a light vote was cast. However. those who neglected to go to the polls evidently favored the bond issue by staying away and it is understood that there will be no trouble in dis posing of the bonds az buyers have already been on the ground.
 The result of the election is hailed with delight by the public in general and although it will be some time be- fore the improvements will be started, when completed they will be of in Iestimable value.
 Retaining Wall Completed.

OLD DOMINION TAKES OPTIONS

The Old Dominion Extension com pany at Globe has taken options on several outlying groups of claims, much of it patented This move, con nected with the rumor that most of the directorate of the present organi- zation will be succeeded by one of the leading copper operators of the south west and his associates, would seem to presage development of Llat prom ising prospect on large scale inn mediately. Although the present management has been working a sub stantial force of men on the property, it's activity during the past two months seems more in the nature of preparatory work, consisting mainly of road building to the shaft sites from points where the Arizona East ern Railroad crosses the property, re- timbering and repairing of shafts al ready sunk on ore bodies, etc. On the Iron Mask fault ore has been de- veloped continuously to depth of more than 100 feet with steadily in creasing value; at a depth of 150 feet on the Sea Bird drift has developed the apex of an argentiferous copper ore body for length of 200 feet; at the Cuprite shaft a silver-bearing manganese and iron area has been opened to a large extent during the past few weeks, character of min eralization invariably capping the cop per ores of the adjoining Old Dominion property. In the Cuprite workings the silver is already accompanied by copper values.

BIG DIVIDENDS PAID IN -ARI-
 IONA DURING PAST YEAR

Ten mines in Arizona paid $34, ,000,- 900 in dividends during the past year. Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and Idaho dividends to those of Arizona we. have a total of over $100, ,000, ,0o0 in dividends paid out of the mines of these five western states in single year. ..,e" ss,s.--s><t
 These are some of the impressive facts brought out by the report of the Geological Survey to Secretary Lane just made. Never before," said Mir. Lane, ''has so large draft been made on the natural resources of our coun- try as during this year, and never be- fore have metals been extracted from these ores with less waste or utilized to better advantage in advancing the general prosperity of the country. Even as written in the plain figures of 1916 production the wonderful re- cord of our mines sets forth degree of national industrial independence only hoped for few years ago.
 Again copper stands out as the best illustration of how American mines can meet world demand. The output of nearly two billion pounds of the red metal is double that of ten years ago and it's value is twice that OI Ine copper produced III 1S10- AuQ to this the facts that in value copper now contends with iron for first place among the metals and that together the amount of these two metals pro- duced last year had value of more than one billion dollars and we have a measure of what this country can contribute in useful metals.
 ''The reports received from the Sur vey's western offices contain most significant mining records. Every western state shows a large increase in yield of metals, Arizona leading with gain of 100 million dollars over last year, while Utah and Montana to- gether report another 100 million dol lar gain. Alaska also had it's best year, contributing a total value of more than s50,000,000 this year, or over 50 per cent in excess of any pre- vious year. s FEN
 These advance statements not only show that 1916 marks a new advance for the mineral industry of the coun- try, but this remarkable increase prom ises to be approximately 25 per cent over the 1915 production, so that we may expect the final figures to show total of three billion dollars"
